1) I am very sad that we didn’t get to see Aziraphale and Crowley have a happy ending in their own universe;

and

2) I think it’s a love letter to humanity that it ended the way it did. I also think it’s insanely beautiful and poignant that the ending is basically “their souls will always find their way back to each other in every universe, forever.” I genuinely can’t think about that too much or it makes me forget how to breathe and swallow.

This was always going to be complicated. There was never going to be a clean and easy way out, as much as we all wished there would be.

I will never stop thinking about these two, in all of their incarnations and across all universes (including the one we watched over the course of the series), finding each other and falling in love and proving that there is so much value in daring to question and to break the cycle and to make sacrifices and to LOVE.

Imagine finding out you have 90 minutes to tie up a love story that's developed over thousands of years. You create something beautifully in character and completely on point for the plot. You pay homage to the original writer's legacy in a fitting and poetic way and create an ending that not only shows the depth of two people's love for each other but the wider love they have for the thing that brought them together in the first place.

And then you go online to find the loudest outcry is that everyone hates it and "THEY DIDN'T EVEN KISS!"

the way fandom has turned this scene and line into something romantic when it’s literally Zuko taunting Katara’s unconscious body that he knocked out while he is literally in the process of kidnapping her best friend and the Water Tribe’s one and ONLY hope for survival against a literal genocidal invasion they are IN THE MIDST of fighting at that exact moment lmao

He isn’t saying “oh teehee we’re so opposites and toxically intertwined” he’s saying “my nation is going to genocide your nation on this day because we are superior to you and your bending and your culture.”

Mind you, Katara is fighting with all her strength in this scene to keep Aang safe and out of Zuko’s hands, who (had he been successful in taking Aang back to the Fire nation), would have subjected Aang to a lifetime of torture and being kept on the brink of life so as not to have the avatar reincarnated. Because that’s exactly what Ozai would have done to Aang. We know so, because Zhao literally says “Don’t worry, I’ll keep you alive, but just barely.”

It’s no wonder that when Katara and the rest of the group finally catch up to Zuko later, that she knocks him out as payback and then wants to leave him in the tundra to freeze to death.

It isn’t Katara that gives a fuck about Zuko or sees that there is potential good in him underneath the brainwashing and indoctrination he has grown up surrounded by. It is Aang that saves his life, over and over throughout the show despite him having no objective reason to. It was always Aang that cared about Zuko and believed they could be friends. Zuko owes his life to Aang ten times over.
