y’all: i can excuse incest, but i draw the line at child marriage.
me: you can excuse incest???
mor: eh, don't be so hard on yourself. if someone i was in love with was getting married... rhys: in love with? mor: yeah... rhys: i'm not in love with feyre. mor: oh! no, no, good, me neither. rhys: mor, i'm not going to feyre's wedding because she hates me and it would be really uncomfortable. not because, i’m in love with her! i mean, hey, y’know, i like feyre as much as the next guy, y’know? clearly I have feelings for her, but feelings don’t mean love! i mean, i have loving feelings for feyre. yeah! i have feelings of love, but that doesn’t mean that i’m in love with her. y’know? i have sexual feelings for her, but i do love her. mor: ... rhys: oh my god! why didn't you tell me? mor: we thought you knew! rhys: "we?" mor: yeah, we all know, we talk about it all the time! rhys: you all know?? does feyre know?? mor: oh, no, feyre doesn't know anything. rhys: oh, i can't believe you didn't tell me. mor: well, because we thought you knew. it's so obvious! god, it'd be like telling amren "hey, you like jewelry."
kaz: damn it! everybody, bathroom now!
nina: what’s up, dad?
jesper: what, kaz?
kaz: is someone playing a joke on me? honestly, why is my towel still wet?
jesper: cause it’s not your towel, it’s my towel, kaz
kaz: no, it’s not your towel. your towel is the red one.
jesper: i’ll tell you this, pal: i’ve never used that. i do use that one every single day.
kaz: oh god
nina: this towel’s so warm and fluffy, it’s like it’s been in the sun forever!
matthias: this means you two have been drying your junk with the same towel.
inej: intimate
kaz: matthias will show you around
matthias: um, right this way is the exit
jesper: i've always been a little confused about this, why can't you kill wolves?
matthias: we believe wolves are gods
nina: not technically, in drüskelle culture, wolves are thought to be like god
matthias: do not tell me about my own culture, nina! in the mood i'm in, i'll take you out, i swear to wolf!
kaz: guys, guys. let’s take a vote.
jesper: secret vote! everyone cover your eyes!
wylan: we won’t know the result!
matthias: well, say your vote out loud
wylan: we’ll know each other’s voices…
nina: inej has a point
@ the good omens vs spn fandom war happening on my dash rn. pleaseeee all of you go touch grass. please go wallow in dirt and weeds and come back refreshed in a week, because the things i am reading with my own two eyes are Insane.
the disrespect you all are showing to ace/arospec people in these posts is absolutely astounding.
friendship and romance aren't cut and dry. they aren't opposites, nor are they exclusive. there are so many ways to have healthy romantic relationships-- not even to mention the myriad of queer-platonic combinations! just because *your* experience of romance (queer or otherwise) is centered around physicality doesn't mean it's like that for everyone else.
frankly, it's quite insulting to finally find an aro/ace safe space (like the good omens fandom has been for me and many others) and be bullied out because of... the author's tweets? a second season announcement?
a note for us hellers: we should know better by now than to expect perfection from authors. we shouldn't excuse homophobia, but... that's... not what's going on here.
good omens is a stunning tribute to the happy ending: love triumphs over evil, fate, capitalism, and a whole lot of really annoying paperwork.
art is for interpretation. that interpretation doesn't have to be queer.
the beauty of good omens is that it's a story for everyone. that's part of the reason the fandom's been active for over 30 years! it's an excellent queer allegory, for sure. but you're allowed to have other opinions. that's what fandoms are for.
i would argue that good omens is explicitly queer. i read crowley and aziraphale as queer-platonic life partners. and frankly, i find their relationship so much more fulfilling than many other canonically queer canons i've seen. they're treated with respect in canon. their love literally saves the world.
yeah, they don't kiss. but consider the large part of the lgbtqia community you're leaving out if you exclude arospec and acespec people from this discussion.
by saying good omens is a queerbait, you're saying aromantic and asexual people don't belong in the queer community.
idc how many times i have to say this, but good omens was and is not a queerbait. the future remains to be seen, of course, but i (personally) have faith in everyone involved and neil gaiman to do these characters and their world justice.
look to sherlock, merlin and supernatural if you want to watch queer-coded and canonically gay characters be exploited and killed for little more than a longing glance.
aromantic and asexual people have a hard enough time being embraced as it is. please think about the message you want to send before you post. thanks.
tl;dr y'all talk about wanting nuanced queer and arospec representation until you get it.
y’all pls do not look at my likes. i have no self control and immediately looked up no way home spoilers. save yourselves, it’s too late for me.

kaz: oh, i thought we weren’t talking
jesper: we’re not.
kaz: then why do i hear words coming out of that stupid hole in your face?
jesper: i’m a human being and i’m entitled to my emotions
kaz: are you crying?
jesper: *wiping away a tear* no
kaz: are you seriously crying, jesper?
jesper: i’m not crying
