Light Blue Satin Wedding Gown

c. 1878

Live reaction of me when I watched GO3 ending ahead of everyone because my dumbass was fucking scared and slipped past the unnecessary parts of the movie:

Me when I couldn't spoil shit for respect but I wanted to warn my moots about that shitshow of an ending:

My frustrated ass working on 3 hours of sleep while grieving GO3:

Me when I saw the "Dusting":

Me when I saw "The Decision"

When god started insulting Aziraphale:

Me during the mafia plotline:

Me when Aziraphale yelled at Sandalphon:

Me seeing FellOny right after:

If us bunch of amateurs can manage to write them in character, why the hell couldn't those professionals who were hired to do the job manage it. FFS

Did I write a terrible email? Still better written than Go3.

Did I get the point of that essay all wrong? Still better written than Go3.

Go3 may be a lot of terrible things, but it is the cure for writing imposter syndrome.

I think the skirt of this dress is made of silk but I'm not sure.

Three days ago I wrote this post. It was not my finest work, and before I respond to any more notifications or comments or DMs, I want to apologise.

Tbc, I don't feel there's anything wrong with having minority opinions about a show, or with posting those opinions like they're God's own truth on social media. Those are two of the great joys of fandom. This apology is not about my opinion that Good Omens falls firmly into the genre of cosmic horror in both its novel and show forms, nor for my opinion that show!Omens is not "supposed to be" any genre and could not reasonably have been expected to have a happy ending.

But I also think y'all are right: There is a big problem with how I said what I said. (Shoutout to @vivi-akuneko for separating the issue of content from tone in their comment and pointing out I could do a whole lot better wrt the latter.)

I wrote my bitchy post after seeing a tweet. I thought it was ethically acceptable to be mean in a general sense in this post and that this would not be hurtful to anyone bc that meanness was not aimed at anyone specific. That's the way I've always observed social media to work.

This experience has changed my mind. (Or, at least, changed my mind about Tumblr. I still kind of view Twitter and Reddit as vomitoria where people go to barf up their worst selves, generally speaking.) No one on this platform or any other deserves to be spoken to like I speak in my earlier post, and regardless of how I viewed it at the time, I was speaking to people, not just about a post on another SM platform.

The way I said what I said was mean, and it was shitty of me to bring it here to a fandom space where people have been really careful and really good about not being shitty to each other and not allowing their fellow fans to be mean to or about each other. Thank you to each of you who haven't let me be shitty either. I'm sorry. I will do better going forward.

I'm going to add a link to this apology to the original post and also make an emended version of the original post that says what I want to say in a way that is more worthy of this fandom and of the person I want to be.

The original:

Because apologies or conciliatory posts never get a fraction of the attention that controversial posts do, I want to help it be seen.

For the love of sweet, innocent Muriel, everyone please let’s take care of each other.

Do you have to tag? Maybe not, but I’m a little shocked that we’re not choosing the proactively kind option here.

And, I know you almost certainly brought up your thirteenth reason as a matter of rhetorical style rather than as an indication of immediate danger, but I want to acknowledge it anyway.

If how much I’d notice your absence on my dash is the slightest indication, I can’t imagine what would happen to your inner circle should you lose that fight.
