I get that people are in the thick of their emotions rn, but I hope they’ll chill and focus on the fact that the Rob, Rhianna, and others apparently pulled off a successful Orpheus-and-Eurydice caper. The show was cancelled. And now it isn’t. Instead of angrily tweeting at Amazon about the format change, or pushing petitions demanding a full season, it’s probably a way better idea to express our gratitude and support for this very unlikely compromise that all involved are putting their own names and money on the line in order to bring to us.
Listen. Listen folks.
I know. We're upset. We have every right to be upset. He-who-won't-be-mentioned fucked this up for all of us: the fans, the cast, the crew.
BUT there are still two people involved in this project whom I trust to make this right for us:
Rob Wilkins, who says of himself that his job is to be Sir Terry's representative on earth, and Michael Sheen, the OG Good Omens Fan.
Look me in the eye and tell me you don't believe Michael Sheen would fight Amazon execs in an ASDA parking lot if they told him he wasn't allowed to kiss David Tennant on the mouth in front of a rolling camera. Or that you don't believe David would follow his lead.
I trust in the cast and crew to somehow steer this ship and to give us 90 minutes that feel like a satisfactory ending for this show that means so much to so many of us.
Did I wish for more than 90 minutes for them to pull it off? Absolutely.
But I won't lie, folks: I am SO. INCREDIBLY. RELIEVED.
I honestly thought they were just going to cancel it. They could have done. And the fact that they didn't is 100% down to us being a huge fandom with (let's be real here) a lot of purchasing power and the ability to kick off a ginormous shitstorm all over social media. I bet there were whole entire meetings dedicated to figuring out if cancelling the show and washing their hands off this entire mess was worth the cost - and then they decided it wasn't.
That's down to us.
So we'll take these 90 minutes and we will squeeze every last molecule of dopamine out of them because Michael and David and the rest of the crew and Rob will make sure that there will be plenty for us to enjoy.
And then we'll continue doing what we've always done: write fanfic and make art and love these characters. We don't need him-who-won't-be-mentioned or Amazon for any of that.
This is great on so many levels

fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says "actually works" does actually work.
hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.
hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy
hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it
hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently
hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love
horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i'm gonna do it tho
