If they couldnāt change the endingā¦why couldnāt they AT LEAST let them TALK.
We got nothing.
Happy pride month to everyone! and to my fav genderfluid, agender; demon and angel.
The finale Aziraphale was not our Aziraphale.
I keep thinking about how Aziraphale, when Crowley did not immediately leap to his feet to help him, just turned around and walked away.
He didnāt try to help him up. He didnāt crouch down to his level. He didnāt even look remotely pressed, and he left Crowley lying there, depressed and dirty and drunk and barely conscious, like he was a piece of trash. Like he meant nothing. (I also haaaaate what they did with Crowley here, but thatās another post entirely)
To think they made Aziraphale into the villain so many people thought he was post s2, and for what? To what end? For what reason? It feels so unnecessarily cruel. So callous. So very much not Aziraphale.
āBut Crowley told him to go away! Aziraphale was just respecting his boundaries!ā
Nah. No. I mean maybe if Crowley was just chilling having a drink somewhere all upright and not covered in shit and mired in despair, then fine. But heās lying on the fucking street in the alley muttering that nothing matters anymore. I would argue that when someone you care about is THAT depressed and THAT deep in a dark, dark place, that is precisely the time to ignore their attempt to shove you away. At the very least you reach out to them, anyway.
Was that angel the same as this one? This soft but fiercely tenderhearted sweetheart?
Are we supposed to believe this was that same angel we watched walk away from the same demon he guided through that Edinburgh cemetery with firm but careful hands before he was snatched down to Hell?
Out of all the possible things that couldāve happened in the finaleā of all the possible endings and scenarios I thought about for months and monthsā one thing I never even considered to be remotely possible about this angel who always looked at Crowley like he was everything?
I never thought that Aziraphale wouldnāt help Crowley up off the ground.
And apparently, neither did Peter Anderson Studio.
Why that scene didnāt happen this way in the actual film, Iāll never understand. Iāll never understand pretty much any of the finale because it is so fucking nonsensical in every way, but they butchered the characterization so badly itās almost impressive. Itās sickening. I have been trying to write a version of this scene that fits with the characters but the words wonāt come. Iāll keep trying though.
š¬ 0Ā Ā š 0Ā Ā ā¤ļø 0Ā Ā·Ā half agony, half hope by depraveddameĀ Ā·Ā Aziraphale doesn't know what to expect when he returns to Earth after three years,
I finished the alley scene rewrite, if folks are interested šš»

Another thing the finale taught me is that I am shit hot at gaslighting myself.
This was staring me in the face for MONTHS and I convinced myself that it was anything else but what it OBVIOUSLY WAS.
Alexa! Play āNaiveā by The Kooks pleaseš
If this finale taught you anything, itās that, no matter what you thought was going to happen, it can always be, much much worse.
Vs
(imho)
I keep seeing posts about the finale from people who loved it being very critical and quite frankly, a bit rude about the people who didnāt.
I saw one particular post today and was going to type my reply (respectfully) directly to them however they tagged it with āif you donāt like my post then donāt engageā. So unlike that author, I will be respectful and just post this into the Tumblr ether.
These are common themes Iāve seen over the past two weeks:
āPeople who donāt like the finale are just selfish because they didnāt get the ending they wantedā - I would argue that Prime/writers etc have been leading our expectations in a certain direction for years just to pull the rug from under us at the last second. I donāt blame people for reacting this way and I donāt think itās selfish for wanting a happy ending for our characters. Itās not an unreasonable expectation for a tv show finale.
āIf you donāt like it, you just donāt understand media literacy/youāre stupidā - This is a comedy fantasy show about angels and demons attempting to thwart apocalypses. You donāt need a Phd in English Lit/philosophy/psychology/whatever to understand or enjoy this show. Disliking the finale is not an indicator of intelligence level or understanding. Itās a personal opinion, based off of many factors. The same goes with liking the finale.
āThis is TPās ending so you must accept/like/respect itā - respect yes, compulsory enjoyment - no. There should never be any hate/disrespect directed to anyone involved in the show. Ever. But insinuating that media should never be disliked or criticised because a certain person wrote it is just not realistic. No one is above critique. We are all humans with thoughts, feelings and opinions, these are involuntary responses. We are reacting to what we are seeing and itās ok to discuss these (respectfully of course). God themselves could float down from the clouds and write me a poem and Iām well within my rights to like it or not š¤·āāļø.
āThese people are just selfish, be grateful we got anything at allā - ahh yes, gratitude. Well, this is one I am struggling with. Whilst I really do appreciate what must have been a lot of negotiations and turmoil behind the scenes and a massive amount of effort from everyone involved to get the finale to us at allā¦. I kinda wish we didnāt get one. There was some fun moments, but the ending completely and utterly broke my heart. I would rather wonder what might have happened than knowing for sure THAT is what happened to them and everyone else in that world. So, Iām sorry, but I cannot be grateful for (in my opinion) a poorly written, plot-hole ridden finale with such a bleak, depressing ending. I just canāt.
Anyway, this is just my 2 pence on the rhetoric I keep seeing. I am so happy for you if you loved the finale. I really wish I did too.
The point of this post is just to ask can we please just have a bit more respect for each other? I really do not understand or agree with people who loved the finale at all but I will not call you selfish/stupid/ungrateful for doing so.
I hope both sides can be pals again some day ā¤ļø
The Malice of the Finale from Gaiman
Despite the fact that Gaiman didn't write the final script, it was based on 6 finished scripts he wrote, so it feels safe to assume the core ending was his idea. Former fans of his writing said the ending's nihilism felt like something he'd do. Various facts such as director Rachel Talalay saying there was no kiss in the script and she was told she couldnāt add one, Gaiman basically saying post-s2 about the kiss that he wanted a way to give fans what they wanted without giving them what they wanted, and David Tennant telling fans at a convention back in 2024 that the ending might not be what fans wanted, indicate that Gaiman never intended to give Aziraphale and Crowley the happy, romantic ending he chose to set up.Ā
The question is: why would a writer do this? In response to shippers back with the first season in 2019, Gaiman couldāve simply said, āI understand fans feel very passionately about their relationship, but Terry and I didnāt write it that way and I donāt want to rewrite their dynamic without him here.ā But he didnāt do that. He played a fool by twisting himself into knots to say he wrote them secretly holding hands and would comment on fan posts āconfirmingā their headcanons, and then went out of his way to textually change the dynamic with an explicitly romantic kiss at the end of s2, but evidently, had zero intention to make them do it again, perhaps not despite fans wanting it, but due to fans clammoring for it. But let's emphasize this: no one made him do this! He could have capitalized on fan excitement and shipper feels, written two more seasons full of subtext, and never changed the nature of their relationship. The finaleās human marriage is cute, but he must have known it was not what fans wanted with the cottage. The lack of kiss and verbal love confession, along with him killing the audience's version of the characters, feel deliberate. You have to go out of your way to squander the s2 cliffhanger and not make them kiss again, kill the version of the characters everyone loved, and screw with the cottage ending
I saw great tags about this on a post that had reblogs disabled, so I assume the OP doesn't want attention and I won't mention their url here. But they were right: Neil Gaiman simply lied to the fandom. He lied about Good Omens always having been a love story, he lied about bringing Aziraphale and Crowley together romantically being Terry Pratchett's dying wish, and he lied about fans' headcanons being true. Obligatory disclaimer: what he did in real life to women is on a different level and cannot be compared to writing choices, but this lying is not unrelated to his sinister side. He was manipulative and calculated towards his fan base (and the tumblr fan base primarily consisted of women), and knew exactly what he was doing. He got off on fans worshipping him and seeking his validation, but had enough disdain for them to openly say he didn't want to give them what they wanted even though he knew how much it meant to them. Writers aren't obligated to give fans what they want, but again: he went out of his way to pander to fans at the end of s2. You can't do that, hang around fans on tumblr to drink up their praise, and turn around and say "nah, fuck the fans" after that, unless you're actually an asshole who enjoys toying with people. I don't believe he intentionally made the ending badāI think he's enough of a hack that he thought the retcon would be a good plot twistābut I do think he intentionally fucked with fans when he rewrote the premise of the cottage and didnāt make them kiss. Canāt you picture a real-life abuser wanting to mindfuck a bunch of women, especially when he did literally abuse some fans? Keep in mind this is the same guy who wrote a gomens movie script in the 90s out of spite, too
You know, there are some YouTube video essays talking about other showrunners being shitty towards their fan base, and a lot of those have little actual evidence. This, however, should be a case study in a creator who hung around tumblr way too much to soak in fan worship turning around to spite them. I donāt think people who never saw his weird behavior on tumblr truly get it. I did not know Gaiman was secretly a violent man, of course, but I did see him as a liar who had a big ego and loved attention from fans to a creepy degree way back in 2019; when he made them kiss in 2023, I thought his desire for fan worship outweighed his obvious discomfort with fans reading Aziraphale and Crowley as gay, but it really should not be surprising that he did not intend to give these characters the kind of happy ending the fans wanted, because he never wanted it and he clearly resented fans who said the "representation" in s1 wasn't enough. But like I said: no one forced him to write the characters kissing! This was so deliberate and feels so malicious.

And what if I never needed their souls to be 'intertwined by fate'? What if all that I needed is for them to love each other because they have known and understood and shaped each other for so long? And what if I never cared about them āfinding each other in every universe?ā What if all that I wanted is for them, in this universe where the odds were so stacked against them, to choose each other?
Good Omens 3:
"This isn't one of Gaiman's gloomy ones, is it? No wonder nobody likes it!"
āgood omens was always about humanityā ok but the finale killed billions of people?? and then also killed aziraphale and crowley before they could finally be safely together after thousands of years of pining?
GO3 SPOILERS
Iām sorry but the same Crowley that saved Jobās children would NOT have been okay with simply wiping out the universe and starting all over again
the finale left us so distraught that we aren't even talking about the fact that we got turtleneck!crowley back for five seconds

running out of ways to say how insane it is that crowley starts out s3 drunk and depressed and hopeless and suicidal and fully ready to just die and then never gets better and ends the show by killing aziraphale and himself. like. what an astronomically bleak thing to put in your ROMANTIC COMEDY
The silence is deafeningš
