Yes, I’ve come to the decision to make them live on forever through my stories, my silly gifs, and sharing all the love I have for Good Omens.

Just like Aziraphale here, there is the sadness of turning the page, but also the joy of all the chapters yet to come.

I’ve mostly not been looking at social media since I watched the finale, but I’ve still seen some back and forth about the “bury your gays” trope. Idk where y’all stand on this but the phrase that came to me earlier was “Schrödinger’s Bury Your Gays”. Hear me out:

Even as angels and demons are queer compared to humans, Aziraphale and Crowley queered what it meant to be an angel and demon. They were the ones who discovered that celestial/occult beings were capable of free will too. And they developed a relationship and an Arrangement that they knew would have them possibly destroyed if their Head Offices found out. So they were kept apart, essentially punished and tortured for who they were, and they were led to believe (by a forced binary choice from god) that the only way to make things better for anyone was to sacrifice themselves. Just as they were finally starting to express what they meant to each other. God is the one who used the word love and her saying she smiled at them while they struggled the entire time… makes me want to throw things at the screen.**

On the other hand, the finale ends with a queer gay couple having a meet cute, a first date, and then a retirement in the South Downs where they hold hands and Anthony says he has everything he ever wanted- the universe out there and Asa right here. It sounds lovely, like the opposite of “bury your gays.”

The problem with this- the thing that makes it Schrödinger’s problem- is that not everyone agrees that Aziraphale/Crowley are Asa/Anthony, as I wrote about here, so for some this is a tragedy where the characters we have followed all along get judged by god herself and then are given a false choice which leads to them choosing annihilation. And others believe that this is a more or less happy ending where human versions of our beloved characters get their happy ending in a South Downs cottage.

It is simultaneously a tragedy and a romcom 🙃 hence Schrödinger’s “Bury your gays”. Not that everyone will see it as both, but that the collective view of it is both. (And that is the fault of the writers!)

**This isn’t even mentioning all of the lgbtqia+ people who were also destroyed when the world was obliterated and not restored.

Is it ok if I NEED now a totally new TV show about that cute bookseller falling in love with that ginger astrophysicist and they get married and live happly ever after in a cottage? 🥹

The godfathers of the current pocket universe (which was the whole world) will oversee the new one, and all the ones that follow. 🩵

After

Aagain, as long as there was NO association with s3 or pretense that they're the new Aziraphale and Crowley.

F* you know who for that.

Hi dear @phoenixthemenace!

You are not a traitor at all! They’re cute and I’m happy for them. It only bothers me in the context of GO3, for the many reasons already discussed at length.

I think the GO3 finale awakened an even stronger desire in many of us to see Michael and David acting together in a rom-com.

I had the same thought, and watching them, I realized that their behavior reflects much more of Michael and David as just them, the way they are sitting at that table and looking and smiling at each other...

(for science👇)

So my RPF lil heart has been somewhat healed a bit from that crap. A small patch on an artery wound 😅.

After taking some time to shake off the shitty emotional intensity of the finale, I’d be thrilled if they did a project like that together. It would be awesome to see them together again with their husbands energy.
