Right, just watched Good Omens 2 and
OMFG!!!! Look, right, we (as in, the fandom, the queers) are not used to actually getting what we want so whilst I was swooning over the significant glances and the numerous hints and 'mistaken for a couple' tropes, and even whilst they went there with Gabriel and Beelzebub in a glaringly obvious parallel, and then especially as Aziraphale interrupted Crowley and I thought okay, it's going to remain unsaid because I did not seriously believe we would actually get this, actually, explicitly on the scene but... NO, NOT ON GAIMAN'S WATCH, WE GET A LOVE CONFESSION!!! AND A DRAMATIC AF KISS!!!!!!!!
You don't understand. Actually, no, you do understand, yes, you. I screamed and scrambled up and almost over the sofa. I woke up the cats. There were tears streaming down my face.
And then, fucking murder as the storyline reached into my chest and pulled out my bleeding heart jasedijweaio'rwafeskl. Yes, I know there's a third and final act. Eventually. But. Just. Meanwhile, SOBBING.

When I say I cried at this scene it was in part because of the heartbreak of it (agree, the acting was phenomenal) but mostly it was the emotional enormity of it happening in the first place.

on 2023-08-12 05:19 pm (UTC)I was thinking back over season one, and have to laugh at myself now for being surprised. It really was obvious. But I was oblivious to anything but subtext because I was conditioned to expect only that - no matter how blatant. (I remember an old show with Tony Randall where he was flat out supposed to be gay, only they weren't allowed to ever actually *say* it).
