if i see one more post accusing neil gaiman of queerbaiting good omens fans even though 

  1. he’s said that he wants LGBTQIA+ fans to feel valid in interpreting aziraphale and crowley however they want to for the past three decades
  2. neil has repeatedly and publicly said that he supports interpretations of A&C being in love, queer, trans, nb, or a-spec its just that labeling their love is difficult because they’re divine beings not contained by human ideals of romance and gender
  3. that tweet going around of neil saying that fans were “reading too much into” A&C’s relationship was only a partial screencap of a longer tweet in which neil was supporting queer interpretations of his characters but no one on this site has reading comprehension or the ability to use google so everyone saw the incomplete text of the tweet and assumed neil was being homophobic when in reality that couldn’t be further from the truth
  4. the book good omens was published in the year 1990 when it was much more risky to display openly queer characters in media than it is now
  5. the show good omens was made as a memorial to co-author terry pratchett who died in 2015, so obviously, making significant changes to the plot gaiman and pratchett wrote together would be full of emotional hardship and grief for neil gaiman who is no doubt extremely upset that he is making this adaptation without terry alongside him. of course he isn’t going to deviate from the book since terry can’t approve the changes.
  6. there are a million ways to show love between two characters that don’t involve kissing or sex and good omens used every single one of them between aziraphale and crowley
  7. good omens already has many radical messages outside of A&C’s relationship (it’s literally a book philosophizing on the dangers of war and protracted conflict and questioning our understanding of christian theology. it also includes issues of feminism, anti-capitalism, climate change and pollution, and nuclear disarmament.) which cannot be ignored especially in todays political climate and to pretend that this show is as problematic as others i could mention just because neil won’t call two genderless creatures gay is reductive and frankly insulting

im calling the fucking cops

-signed a queer non-binary person who has been a fan of this book for over 5 years and won’t put up with any more fake woke tumblr bullshit from people who cant be bothered to do their research

rebloggable good omens neil gaiman aziraphale crowley anthony j crowley discourse tumblr discourse ineffable husbands Terry Pratchett sir terry would be rolling in his grave if he could see you people smh

you might think Michael has no sympathy but that’s not true she’s just running low on supplies because gabriel falls into her lap and sobs there over every perceived workplace rejection he’s ever experienced like, once a week

I look forward to the day when A/C fervor calms down just enough to allow more fanfic about the other characters because this is the kind of galaxy-braining shit I need.

every time i just i die

michael sitting down, doing some normal paperwork, and gabriel LURCHING in, hands over his eyes, for the third time this month, going, “MICHAEL–” and she’s like “oh fuck’s sake not again”

and gabriel like FALLING to his knees, burying his face in her lap, and saying, “mmmf”

and she’s like “what”

and he’s like “mmmf” but louder

and she’s like “you’re literally a messenger of our mother would you just–”

and gabriel raises his head and is like “gadreel says jogging is stupid” and michael is like… ri– right… ok… well, he has a point, no?

and gabriel just sobs even louder

and once he’s cried it out he’s fine, he’s running around, big smile, big grin, big dumb angel, but first, he’s going to overreact in the most ridiculous manner imaginable

This is good and true and I love your mind.
