“Fear is a strange soil. It grows obedience like corn, which grow in straight lines to make weeding easier. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground.”

— Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

For everyone who is afraid right now, it is absolutely justifiable. Shit's gonna get scary. But remember:

“Susan says, don't get afraid, get angry.”

― Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Hot damn

Bartender: why not

Re: Good Omens "Season" 3:

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.

I saw this on the day I finished Night Watch and...

It feels almost cathartic, in a way

Sir Terry has changed many lives, including mine, and I think he will continue to do so far into the future

It's an honor long deserved that he be added to this collection, and I hope this will give more people an opportunity to learn from his wit, humour, and everything else exemplified in his writing.

It feels odd, mourning a man I've never met, who died before I could have even dreamed of it, and yet I still do. Because stories are an immutable part of humanity and stories are timeless. We must rise up, march on, and continue singing, while remembering those who we're not singing with.

We have to use those emotions -the joy, the fear, the grief- to forge a new future

One Samuel Vimes would be proud of;

One Terry Pratchett would be proud of;

One we're proud of

So here's to Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love, and

a Hard Boiled Egg
