Annoyed alt for GO3 ranting

Crowley and Aziraphale are both incredibly precious, gentle, flawed, loving, silly, hurt people and they didn't deserve what was done them.

I'm so sorry my booboos. Come and live in my head instead and you can have all the cuddles and wine you deserve.

[Braininbody @onrockinspace]

@starsziracrow Yup. S1 and a lot of S2 were about the joy and significance of small things and the sweetness and silliness of life in general. S3 turned into some serious good vs evil stuff except God was evil? which was never the case before and the silliness was forced (gangster shenanigans?)

it's international kissing day, show me your OTP kissing ❤️

...i don't like that Satan took human form either.

Tldr: I don't like that they contained God in human form and A&C got to talk to her. It cemented her as the Big Bad when this role in the story was previously filled by 1) Rigid moral beliefs and 2) Innate human wickedness.

[Braininbody @onrockinspace]

In S1 God was a vague, mysterious force, clearly omniscient because she was narrating. In s2 she was absent but for job where again she's inaccessible to A&C. I expected her to narrate but not be present in s3 to mirror S1. Instead she appears literally in person as a cruel...

I think my biggest disappointment with the gomens finale is that god, who is presented to us as the antagonist, the one aziraphale and crowley are trying to “beat”, wins in the end. she gets what she wants. the universe ends after 6000 years, which was her plan from the start.

[Braininbody @onrockinspace]

...back to Job and Crowley wanting to ask questions like Job did but if we take the premise of GO as office sitcom where A&C are Just Some Guys why on earth would they ever meet or talk to the CEO? It ruins the bit by conferring on them importance they oughtnt have. Similarly...

@solidly_fluid I hate to day it but I think that's just a stick. The handle is different.

[Braininbody @onrockinspace]

@Lil_BitofMac @sheepishes Im sure there's sooo much to do at Alpha Centauri. Theatres, restaurants, parks...oh, wait

@zira__crow Raises traumatised hand

Ur telling me that they saw these two characters, THOSE ABSOLUTE SILLIES AND DECIDED THAT KILLING THEM WSS THE BEST OPTION yea ok lmao

[Braininbody @onrockinspace]

@fairyfortfire Glad to hear it. It was such a nice day and happy vibes, it was good to see it in those circumstances after all the angst. I hope they don't clean it or remove it.

[Braininbody @onrockinspace]

Had a picnic in St James's Park today so went by The Bench. Bittersweet to see all the messages, especially "6,000 years just to vanish"! But overall really touching to see so many. It was a beautiful day and seemed particularly appropriate to visit on London Pride day.

@th3nightingales I'm here forever unfortunately. Became an X-Files fan in 1995 and tragically still there. X-Files fandom history is like the fandom bible, literally invented the term shipping. Major character and plot mangling. Cancellations, scandals, movies. At least M&S stayed together though

[Braininbody @onrockinspace]

@th3nightingales God I would love to know their choices.

[Braininbody @onrockinspace]

@IAteMyApple Unbelievable 🤦‍♀️

[Braininbody @onrockinspace]

@whatthehellan @arrowsmithlesl1 @tweedfeather Please don't be rude or use terms like "traitors to the fandom" in my mentions. It's a group of fans of a piece of popular media, not a repressive regime or a religious cult!

[Braininbody @onrockinspace]

@LadyMortiana I'm sorry, I didn't see. There was someone sitting on the other side so I didn't want to be too much of a weirdo staring at it from all angles, I was very quick 😆. The park was packed with people so I was lucky to see it with one side unoccupied, all the other benches were full

[Braininbody @onrockinspace]

@tennantsidebrns But I do see the point that it would be nice for the bench to just be about love. I sort of wish there was a separate hate bench next to it, that would be appropriate haha.

[Braininbody @onrockinspace]

@tennantsidebrns I kind of like it, I have to admit. I quite...like...that it spoils the vibe of the whole thing, because to me, that's what GO3 did. I like the idea that there is tangible fan annoyance about that, not just on the Internet but out in the wild for all to see. Yes I am petty.
