I'm so tired. And Frustrated.

I'm tired of characters needing to be "in love" every time they love each other. Especially when the media goes out of the way to make it clear that they love each other without ever trying to define that as "in love". They love each other. That is just as valuable. That is Just as worthy. They can be partners without romance. They can be partners without sex.

They Can Be Partners Without Romance.

I am so Sick of not only the idea that for some god forsaken reason, Every single queer relationship needs to be labeled and categorizable to "count" as explicitly queer, but the idea that it needs to be romantic. The notion that characters and stories cannot be queer until you get to see a kiss or people are declared "boyfriends" or something else like that. We are Woefully shy of queer representation on the whole— I'm not saying you can't interpret media however you like. Do what you want.

But I am so sick of characters that Clearly mirror aromantic stories or stories about queerness that just don't focus on romance be called "not good enough" or "homophobic". Not every story is about romance. Not every partnership is romantic.

That doesn't make them not queer. That doesn't make them not important. I can promise you, those of us who don't or can't center romance in our lives? We Are living a queer experience. We are antithetical to amatonormative allonormative expectations for how life "should" be lead.

We get to see ourselves in those stories you're calling "not queer enough". Queerness is complex and weird and Fucking Queer. It's not an analog of straightness or cisness. We're not playing opposite to straightness or cisness. We're not operating in the same Framework— that's what makes us so goddamn queer. We aren't easily definable, and when we try to force ourselves to find one definitive way to be queer, we leave community behind.

So yes. We need more queer stories. We need more queer stories of all kinds that are messy and weird and romantic and aromantic and trans and ace and nonbinary and all over the place because every single story about queerness is going to be different. And that's good.

#yes this is about good omens #but it's also about little women #and it's also about frozen #and it's about a hundred different ways and a hundred different times i've been told i'm erasing queer stories by seeing myself in them #queer stories deserve to be complicated #we deserve to be hard to define #but also we deserve to be seen #in every capacity that we can #I generally participate in a part of fandom that heavily partakes in shipping #For me one of the most important parts of the story is the characters and their relationships with each other #but I cannot fathom how people who also find that to be one of the most important parts of stories can be so Reductive about what that mean #good omens #aromantic #asexual #sorry for the big rant #I just cried my eyes out to the season finale of good omens and came on here to be excited about it #but almost everything i saw was about a very different takeaway than the one I had

Minor Differences

Traditionally published novel: I need to spend hours researching physics and biology to make sure this scene makes sense, or I'll be rejected by every respectable press in existence.

Fanfiction: Look I don't actually know how any of this works and I don't care, but these two boys are going to bone in a confessional and that's what we're really here for, right?

Traditionally published novel: *research fashion magazines and fashion blogs to find the proper name for a particular accessory and describe it accurately*

Fanfiction: That funny silver scarf thing he wears all the time. You know the one. Most of you have made some version of it for a comic con. He ties him up in that. Fucking hot, right?

Traditionally published novel: Head hopping is lazy writing and a sign of poor craftsmanship.

Fanfiction: Why describe one orgasm when I can describe two???

The experience of publishing professionally: Not unlike competitive swimming with a weight on your chest

Posting fanfiction: Two bros, chilling in a hot tub

I can’t just like things the normal amount. They always worm their way into my brain and settle there and refuse to budge like a houseguest that decides to move in after the party instead of going home.

#yes this is about good omens #if I’m not actively thinking about or talking about good omens than i’m probably doing it subconsciously #and now I’m like that with the Magness protocol too #our flag means death #good omens #I think my job is just to be annoying about a wide variety of fandom shit until I drive all my loved ones to madness

[antiyourwokehomophobia2]

I think that people who say stupid shit like "their love doesn't require kisses and sex! They can be in a romantic relationship without it" should enter a relationship with someone who never wants to kiss them or have sex with them and tell me if they still feel the same afterwards.

#Yes this is about good omens #I'm so tired of writer being all too happy to display heterosexual kissing and sex #But gay characters are apparently able to have a relationship without it #There's nothing 'deep' about not having sex with your partner #Kissing and sex is not perverted! It's loving #Isn't it amazing that if you kiss someone then everyone around you immediately knows you guys are in a relationship ? #One simple gesture can convey so much about two people and their relationship with each other #That's not romantic? #Get out of here #Just say you're homophobic

[ritz-writes]

you ever find a song thats SO otp coded that you just have to do laps around ur room to cope with the sudden flood of brainrot thats been forced upon you

#AND ITS NOT EVEN OUT YET #so i just have to SIT HERE #and STEW #until it IS #sobbing #an edit is forming in my head yall omfg #YES this is about good omens #augughghUAHGHGGHHH

[theeminentlyimpractical]

well, it finally happened.

accidentally texted my mom an E-rated AO3 link.

#this might as well happen #unsend function save me #can’t believe I made it 25 years in fandom before my hubris bested me #yes this is about good omens

[crowleys-bentley-and-plants]

Me googling human anatomy to get the names of stuff right

#yes this is about good omens #yes this is for a poem #ramble gamble

[queer-reader-07]

you mean to tell me that most people don’t get irrevocably attached to the media they consume??

they just watch a show and what? MOVE ON?! i call bullshit.

#yes this is about good omens #but it’s also about the boys in the band (2020) aka the movie i’ve watched 25+ times since february of this year #(10 of those times were in one single week) #it’s also about the feeling of falling in love by mason deaver aka the book i relistened to 12 times in the span of 10 days #it’s also about dune which i’ve yet to reread but also have yet to stop thinking abt and is my favorite book. like ever. #(yes i am probably neurodivergent and undiagnosed thanks for asking) #(i’m also very queer if is no wonder i imprint on media so intensely) #this tumblr blog is a live documentation of good omens going from hyperfixation to full on special interest #<< idk when i said that originally but it still holds true #good omens #aziracrow #ineffable husbands #crowley #aziraphale

[ladyfarona]

Am I the only one who latches onto a new hyperfixation like a kid with a new stuffed animal and later when the stuffed animal is dirty, misshapen, and missing fluff I refuse to let it go for a new one??

#But I don't WANT a new one #I want THIS one #Yes this is about Good Omens #No you shouldn't be surprised #Hyperfixations

[mack-anthology-mp3]

went for a nice walk outside gesturing wildy at nothing saying 'THEY LOVE EACH OTHER' over and over this is. normal

#the brainrot is brainrotting #yes this is about good omens #for those of you who don't follow the side blog you have escaped the most of it but Oh Boy do i have Thoughts & Feelings about those two

[actual-changeling]

sometimes i'm like "maybe i should stop interpreting things in relation to my own trauma" and then i remember that my therapist literally TOLD ME to do that and that it's good and also i can do whatever i want anyway

#alex yells at the void #yes this is about good omens #mostly crowley and michael because for some reason michael is now one of my blorbos

[moss-sprout]

Excuse my terribly strong language; but how the FUCK do you dance around pining for 6000 fucking YEARS????

I. HAVE. BRAIN. DAMAGE.

#YES this is about good omens #they better get their shit together in season 3 or im *losing it*

[thechloris]

Secret 7th episode? That's the theory?

I don't think my eyes can roll hard enough.

#yes this is about good omens #not only is it a terrible theory #and one we can thank sherlock for #ugh #but why would we need another episode? #season 2 ended exactly where it should

[kaylinelizabeth4004]

Gotta love the moments of writing and feeling absolutely on fire, like you’re the best writer they’ve ever seen - then you suddenly feel like everyone will hate it and you suck.

Like yes it’s fanfiction but I’m also going to make it existential and questioning what it means to be human and I have to know that it’s okay for people to not like what I write because I write for me and ahhhhh

Also I’m too wordy

#yes this is about good omens #shocker I know #I am too wordy though #but I think that’s okay #I don’t know #good omens #fanfiction #writing #we’re in a writing era but also a self conscious era
