I agree with this - I’m not mad about the ending in the ways that I keep seeing, like the lack of a kiss or even the end of the universe. I just think that plot ending neatly became more important than the characters and the viewers payoff. The loss of a whimsical solution.
"If this finale is a love letter to fandom and fanfiction, it’s a love letter to the ability of fans to create better stories for these characters than the ones they canonically got."

@nautheduke THANK YOU - someone else said it! This man is the ultimate pillow princess and it blows my mind so many people see it the other way around. Usually I don’t care or have a preference with fics cos whatever, but this couple!?? Az a top!? 🤯
@joquji5n324il@RealxRebellion@lachancenaomi27 Yes I am and bio says 28+. Regardless it’s not about life experience, it’s a qualification like any other profession. If a therapist is bringing their own thoughts and life experiences into the room then that’s also doing it wrong - that’s coaching.
@lachancenaomi27 Therapist here: This is unacceptable & you should get someone new. This isn’t just not treating the grief correctly (which should be treated the same as human grief), but completely disrespecting you. You deserve better.
Also really, really sorry for your loss 🥺
Seeing this makes me think of that person (sorry I can’t remember who) who said that maybe the ending was a way of having a clear end to stop NG rebooting & profiting later down the line? If it was THEM, there was always an easy route back in as the story would be left open.
Louis Ralph has uploaded a few new Good Omens 3 concept artworks to his portfolio: looks like the South Downs cottage garden was supposed to be filled with flowers and alcohol on long-haired Anthony’s side, preserves and cakes on Asa’s, their left-right positioning back to normal
were there things about the finale I would've changed? absolutely. but I also recognise they had 90 mins to condense a 6 ep season and that is a monumental task. it frustrates me to see people being nasty towards the writers/crew when they had to fight for us to get ANYTHING.
@yaoinof I think they did in THEIR way - the way they have always communicated. C’s digs where he’s clearly talking about them, A’s meltdown in the car, both at the end FINALLY understanding the others perspective from the end of S2. The deep looks. It was there, just not full sentences.

Es un tipo de final muy distinto al clásico “vivieron felices para siempre” yo creo que más bien dice: el amor sobrevivió tanto que cambió la forma del universo y encontró otra manera de existir.
@pyewacket____ God’s meddling would still play a part. There is no reality in which they remembered and wouldn’t be together. In the new universe, with no interference, thier souls still found thier way back to each other. Pure free will.
@pyewacket____ As much as I LOVE the idea of them remembering, I think the ending is about free will - God was playing them the entire time and letting Az ‘have’ C. Them remembering wouldn’t be 100% free will because whether we like it or not, our memories always play a part in our choices. +
dude if youre gonna let a television show be that important to you that an ending you dont like becomes a "mutilation of your soul" ...you gotta log off, man. you need to spend a day without your eyes glued to a screen.
