"The ending they gave us, while technically "bittersweet", was bittersweet in the same way that adding motor oil to an affogato instead of espresso would make it bittersweet."
A great post on why the finale COULD have worked - but for a different story.
Not Good Omens.
@KrisUmasimp Weirdly enough my lobbies has mainly been a bulk of pace. I've had multiple with no fronts. Only seen one Taishin (got destroyed by her). My OG Oguri has carried me through with 60% win rate.
Saw a Chinese GO fan write-up of fanexpo Q&A with David. They compiled questions from both themselves and a friend. Some thoughtful answers here so English translation below.
-
Q: Did Crowley get everything he wanted in the end?
DT: "No. No. He was evaporated. And then someone who looked a bit like him met someone who looked a bit like Aziraphale, but it's not the same thing."
Q: So they really don't have their memories anymore at the end?
DT: "I don't think they do. I think it's a little moment of celestial serendipity."
Q: In the first two seasons, Crowley often wanted to run away somewhere else with Aziraphale. But in the end, he chose humanity's free will instead of his own happiness. What caused that change?
DT: "I think by the end, he's the most selfless person of all. That's the problem, really. He's actually a very bad demon. He has far too much empathy and far too much humanity in him."
Q: So when he talked about running away to Alpha Centauri in the first two seasons, do you think he was just putting on an act?
DT: "I think he genuinely felt that way at the time. He rejected Heaven, and he rejected Hell. So he started searching for a third path — a path that explores the complexity of what it really means to be human. And he wants to protect that, so that everyone can keep it. At least, that's how I understand it."
@Sovereignofvamp I've been experimenting with this for the past hour. To get a splash like that you need plunge AND for Nikki to be in much deeper water. So I don't know how they managed it.
Ok, now that we’ve had a week to think about it, here’s another, more S1-ish fix it (as the last one was desperate and had issues…but let’s be honest, so did the “season”.)
"Some of you are simply not victims. You are just deeply committed to a narrative that doesn't exist & obsessed with creating "villains" so you can justify obsessively hating the one, while worshipping the other."
quote of the fucking year
Xenosys Vex pulls away abruptly, interrupting the kiss, and holds Llamatodd at arms length.
“We should be careful,” says Xeno. “My viewers might catch on. Some already suspect.”
Llamatodd sighs. “I’m tired of hiding this. Us.”
Xeno takes a breath. “I know but… I can’t.”
Listen.. I don’t mind dark romance but I saw this on Reddit and reeled- LMAO WHAT IS THIS??? No way the author wrote this and thought “Yeah, this is gonna eat.” …Literally. Absolutely not. 💀
