Calliope

So I watched the Good Omens finale and the first thing I have to say is that, to me, it was absolutely bloody fantastic. Did it make me cry? Yes. Did I wish that we had more time to get to see the story of Jesus developing? Yes. And would I have wanted to see more interactions between God and Satan? Absolutely. But all we had was 90 minutes and for such a short screen time I believe they did a pretty great job.

The core of this show is the fact that it is lead by the worst angel and the worst demon there is. While Aziraphale is selfish and has to literally pull himself away from everything he loves (including Crowley) not to fall into temptation (although he fails miserably every single time); Crowley is absolutely selfless, even willing to lose the Bentley for the bookshop and to let his angel go. That is exactly the reason why Aziraphale let Crowley choose, because he would have made the selfish choice, because he wouldn't let Crowley be taken from him again. It hit me so hard, to see them say what had been quite obvious from season 1: they are not on hell or heaven's side, they are on humanity's side, because they are the only ones who truly care about people.

And then I get to Tumblr, and I am left absolutely flabbergasted and shocked with the fandom's response to the finale. Queerbaiting??? Kill your gays?? Have we actually watched the same ending?? You complain that there wasn't even a kiss. Not a traditional one, no, but we got something even better, we got a moment we're a single gaze between those two and a small gesture from Aziraphale meant absolutely everything. They love each other and that's for certain. And if that wasn't enough we got to see them grow old AS HUMANS. No heaven, no hell, no ineffable plan, just them together, getting to live the life they wanted. It doesn't matter that they don't know who they used to be. That last scene was not for them but for us, because we do know who they were, we know what they went through and what they sacrificed and I thought that was beautiful.

And don't get me even started with the tribute to Terry Pratchett because I will start crying again. It actually pains me a little bit to see how the fandoms respond nowadays, some people seem not to even care about what they are watching; the amount of effort and love that is put together to make stories like this come to life. They just start complaining about the fact that they didn't make out, that they didn't get the ending they thought they would get. Well, that's what FanFiction is for, isn't it? But one thing is to say that you didn't expect that ending and a very different one is to claim that the ending was straight up terrible. So complain all you want, because that is what free will is all about, but I will recommend that, before you launch into a raging rampage the second you realize that the show is not exactly what you expected it to be, you think for a second if you are mad because it was bad or because you didn't get precisely the thing you wanted. Maybe just go write a fanfic if you're so eager for it to be different, as I said before, that's what it is for.

As Joshua said: Be kind to each other and go eat some pizza, perhaps you're all just hungry 🍕.

Here are some pictures of me properly celebrating the occasion, thanks to my dad for being an awesome photographer.

Oh! She also said that she knew for real that Homer was real because she felt his vibes when she sat on his stone in Daskalopetra (Chios).

I have been dragged back into this fandom and I don't think I'm getting out any time soon.

Also! I told a friend I needed a Grantaire and he said he might help me...

Also, shout out to the best cast who made me even forget the songs were not even in English, but in Spanish...

I'm seeing Les mis today with my dad and decided to become Enjolras for a day. Here's the graphic proof of it.

I'm back and I still have quite a lot of stuff to share here, starting with a brand new fanfic that ended up being way longer than I intended and that almost drove me insane by trying to get into the mind of a certain Caesar's heir.

If you want an Octavian with an extra dose of anxiety, an angry Antony and a Cleopatra that is getting too old to deal with male egos go on and take a look, there is an extra cameo at the end ;)
