there's something i need to say and yall can boo me for it but deep in my heart i'll always know i'm correct: crowley already forgave aziraphale. like already would take him back at one flutter of his eyelashes. that's all.
I have a new essay for everyone its called "OFMD S2 is an insult to Con O'Neill both as a person and his legacy in his acting career as a queer man"
Like, this man did not spend his ENTIRE FUCKING CAREER playing almost exclusively openly queer or heavily, heavily coded queer characters to be treated like this??? In fucking 2023??????? He got better, more queer happy endings in the 80s and 2000s, the fuck?
I think it's incredibly telling that David felt like he had to hide what he was doing with Iz' character arc from Con till it was too late in filming. Hey, hey David? What did you think he was gonna do if he knew beforehand what was happening?? David? David do you think he would've walked? Do you think he would've used his leverage both as the fan favorite and integral part of the story to demand BETTER from you and everyone else writing the show?
Con has been making queer art since the fucking 80s when he was in his 20s. He has openly talked about trans rights and the fight against homophobia that we have been fighting for years and decades. I can't imagine what kind of push back he had to deal with to get all the gay shit he was doing to come to fruition. I can guarantee that at least part of the reason he doesn't have as big of a career as he absolutely deserves is because of how openly queer he has been since the start. I think if Con had been allowed to have some input in the direction of Izzy's character that something like this wouldn't have happened, at least not this messily and uncompassionate.
I legit can't imagine how fucked he must've felt after being given the genuinely very beautiful Unicorn scene and then be casually taken aside and told "lolol anyway Izzy is gonna die now, without love and without the acceptance he had already been given". But at least he was given a cuddle????
Anyway watch Dancin' Thru The Dark. Its on YouTube and it's about an openly genderqueer/bi man who goes on a sad but fun music adventure and it's actually really really good. Con sings and its a fucking bop AND he doesn't die at the end or watch Bedrooms And Hallways, it's a fun romcom about a found family of all queer people doing stupid gay shit. Also you can see Hugo Weaving's entire dick and balls in one scene and if that's not better gay rep then ofmd s2 then idk what is
Being on the run does that to a mofo.
Inspired by @djsherriff-responses 's excellent point about Rayman being blonder than his previous iterations and making him more white passing.
So what if, he is ALSO a red head in this version and was obligated bleach his hair, to be more 'acceptable' for EDEN's propaganda before he defected .
“Mike said his life started the day he found El in the woods, which was technically the following night. What he said had nothing to do with offending Will because he went missing the day before.”
I REALLY REALLY hope we see this form of Sonic come back and more refined.
I mean Nine didn't really know if it would work and he did it super quick so I don't think it'd be too far to assume that this isn't the most sonic can do with " shard " energy.
PLUS it wasn't all the shards they were missing one.
His design is something else because it just feels incomplete like as if not all of his body had the same amount of shard energy
Tbh it reminds me of the cyber-coruption from Frontiers as it covers parts of his body instead of covering it all
ANYWAY I REALLY HOPE WE GET THIS REFORMED LIKE A SHARD SUPER FORM!!! Like imagine in Season 3 They gain all the shards and we get a a refined Super Shard Sonic
In my unprofessional opinion I think that since there’s so much wedding imagery in this season already, that post-make up Stede and Ed will get married/decide to get married and Stede will say something along the lines of “well i always wanted to marry for love”
