I Don't Post Much, I'm Mostly Here To Lurk And I've Been Avoiding Writing Anything About The Big Moment
I don't post much, I'm mostly here to lurk and I've been avoiding writing anything about The Big Moment in Good Omens season 2, because I need to rotate things in my head for a long time before I talk about them.
But after a few weeks, can I just say. It was so good. It was so fucking good. Like, of course, I'm miserable, chewing glass, scratching at the walls, etc. But it was so good.
The Tragedy of it. It's not a miscommunication, or a "bad-timing-by-a-few-seconds" kind of things. Crowley still declares (as much as he can), still kisses him (my personal interpretation of which being that he's trying to show that this isn't something Aziraphale can pout about until he changes his mind), still waits until the last possible moment.
It's a tragedy in the "classical" sense of the word. It ends in tears not because there was nothing to be done, but because who these characters are at the moment does not let them act in any other way. There are some fatal character flaws. I know it's a hotly debated issue around here at the moment, but in my opinion the fault lies mainly in Aziraphale. I love him, I think he was working on it, but he's still an angel with too much faith in Heaven. An understandable, reliable, hopeful mistake is still a mistake.
And I don't think the overall story is a tragedy. I don't think it will end in heartbreak. I'm going to let these characters live in the back of my brain for however long it takes to get a season 3, and when we do, I'll be right there.

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields
My take is that both have a finite amount of commitment in them, and put it all into each other. They don't have enough left for a pet, long-term goals, or an address
since Arthur isn’t a fan, would John be inclined to any animals in particular? he strikes me as a cat-lover, maybe for the shared temperament
No, neither like animals
EDIT: neither are pet people should be a better way of saying this. They can empathize with any creature (lily) and they care about creatures, but they’ll never have pets.
Over the Garden Wall (2014), dir. Nate Cash — Chapter 1: The Old Grist Mill
“‘Ah, Vimes,’ said his lordship as Vimes entered. ‘So kind of you to come. Isn’t it a beautiful day?’ Up until now, Vimes thought, when he spotted the two other people in the room.”

I swear I saw this after posting
I have tried not to get obsessive with this election, so I may have missed it, but I got the impression that Mélenchon did his level best to keep his mouth shut during the campaign. I expect this time is now over.
Clean version of a comic I drew in history class
”Hey Kellin, your mother was a whore!” is still one of the funniest and most batshit lines in Malevolent because it comes directly out of left field. Whores are literally never referenced again (except as a callback to that line, which happens the very same episode). John nor Yellow nor the King ever make reference to any other hypothetical whores or slutshaming in any regard. The Entity just decided to be a bitch like that. It’s like a preteen who learned precisely one swear and is trying to shock you by saying it as loudly and as clearly as possible to get a reaction out of you. Who taught him those words. Where is his mother.
I started listening to the critshow. Spoilers for everything until season 4.

I just think the PCs are giving him an easy ride considering that he killed everyone in his timeline, and I would love some light bullying.
