This is gonna be like controversial probably but people comparing Good Omens season 2 ending to OFMD season 2 like- one of these is not like the other.
Good Omens finale was upsetting, it was sad, it was intense but it made sense. It wasn’t rushed or paced weirdly. Like it’s sad but it makes sense that these two repressed weirdos aren’t gonna be able to jump into a relationship together immediately. It makes sense with their characters and also there is nothing to suggest (unless the show got cancelled but that’s not in the canon you know) that Crowley and Aziraphale are permanently separated. Like it can be feasibly fixed. And everything felt like Good Omens. I doubt that Neil secretly hates all of us and is gonna turn Aziraphale straight next season or something so GO 2 was sad but you know, didn’t kill my interest in the show or my enjoyment, still excited for next season because there’s hope and a lot of potential for these characters that we love.
MEANWHILE
Izzy’s death… the pacing was so weird. I don’t think it should’ve happened at all. But especially not like that and shoved in between a bunch of other things. I couldn’t even feel happy for Black Pete and Lucius cause the show was just stampeding over Izzy’s still warm body, you know what I mean. If I were to describe OFMD before this I would say it felt like a warm kind of sweaty hug. Like it’s a little intense and uncomfortable sometimes but at the end of the day it’s soft and loving and warm- now I don’t know what I would say because killing Izzy felt so unlike the show. So much of the first season and parts of this one were like, loving the unlovable, embracing the outsiders and weirdos and downtrodden. And so this show suddenly takes this newly disabled older queer man who is only now getting some sort of healing and relative safety and a loving community and then they kill him…
I know OFMD is a violent show so there’s gonna be death but it’s also a comedy and to me this feels like if in an episode of Parks and Rec Ron Swanson got shot and he just doesn’t come back, he’s real dead forever. Like that doesn’t feel like it’s part of the same show to me!
So it’s like.. I can’t be that excited for season 3 because I don’t know what OFMD is anymore.. like there was never any doubt in my mind that they were totally setting Izzy up for a happy ending/new beginning. Maybe my that’s my fault like I didn’t watch the show right but like, I can’t trust it anymore, I can’t feel safe and comfortable with it anymore.
Also this is gonna suck because it’s gonna cause big divides in the fandom, people are gonna take it too far and attack writers or actors or eachother, I feel like it could get really bad. Possibly being a downer I’m just anxious. This is such a good show for representation and I’m just worried it’s shot itself in the foot.

we were running out through the storm (through the night)
Or the one where Buck almost kissed Eddie at Chimney's bachelor party and Tommy was there to witness it.
read on AO3
„You almost kissed Eddie last night.”
There is no trace of accusation in Tommy’s voice and somehow the words still hit Buck like a slap to the face.
The hospital staircase is empty and quiet now in the middle of the night, the bright artificial light giving the moment a surreal quality, and somehow, with everything that happened after, Buck did not see this conversation coming.
(The fear and worry of the last 15 or so hours made it so easy to push the memory down and away, something for future Buck to deal with.
Something for future Buck to figure out how to fix, maybe.)
It’s only been maybe an hour since Buck watched Maddie fall asleep curled into Chimney’s side on his hospital bed, her and Chimney’s hands with their matching gold bands interlocked right over Chimney’s heart and with Chimney looking down at her like he was unable to look away. Clearly feeling like the luckiest man in the world, no matter all the horrors he had to walk through to get here to this moment.
(Only maybe an hour since Buck caught himself thinking this is love, this is what love is supposed to be.
Only maybe an hour since Buck caught himself glancing over at Eddie – curled up in one of the horrible hospital chairs and looking smaller than he should, deeply asleep and with an equally conked out Chris leaning into his shoulder – first, instead of searching out his boyfriend’s eyes and the guilt flooded back into him.)
Looking back he knows there was something in Tommy's eyes when he helped Chimney out of the helicopter and found Buck’s eyes over Maddie’s head as she rushed towards them. A slight hesitation when Buck kissed him in front of everyone that Buck thought was just surprise at the public display in front of Buck’s parents. A flicker of sadness on his face when they swayed to the soft sounds of Islands In the Stream from Hen's phone loudspeaker in Chim's hospital room, before Tommy pulled him close enough to hide his face against the side of Buck's.
But Tommy wasn’t supposed to know, not yet, not until Buck figure out how to tell him.
Because that had never been in question, only the when and how.
Only apparently Tommy already knows.
And Buck feels like there suddenly isn’t enough air in the room to form words.
“I—I didn’t—I didn’t though, Tommy, you have to know I—”
“I know, hey, Evan, I know,” Tommy reassures and his voice is so gentle it makes something ache deep inside Buck’s chest. Maybe this would be easier if Tommy was angry. “I saw your face right after, I know you wouldn’t have done it knowingly, but for a moment there I don’t think you remembered.”
everything else, is—has been—stuck in that space between one breath and the next, flipping through every single visceral snapshot memory impression.
How he had felt terrifyingly sober for just that one moment, before letting himself fall even harder into drunkenness to forget.
That lightning strike realization when he caught on to what he was about to do, when he realized that for a second he had completely forgotten where he was and that he had a boyfriend.
(It had been so different from when he kissed Lucy, because then he had remembered Taylor for every single second of it and kissed Lucy anyways and he’s not sure if that was worse or this is.)
The fact that apparently Tommy was right there and saw that moment play out over Buck’s face? Yeah, that is definitely worse, even if Buck was immediately disgusted at himself.
Because he still almost did it and Tommy saw that too.

I miss pink Sukuna 😩💗
When I think about Sukuna, I think about the version I simped so hard for in 2020 that I managed to write 30k words because of his hair in just two days. Because somehow, with his pink hair, he looks fluffy enough for me to visualize a soft side to him.
The Megumi version (bring my son back goddammit) just looks so mean 😩 even if he has long lashes. Would his eyes be red though, I wonder.
But then, isn't he back to being pink? True-form pink... Dunno if I like it. This is considering the fact that after Nanami, my forever #1, it's Sukuna. He just makes me sad these days. 😞
So sad in fact that I wanna go to Inabadori with a gas can, cigarettes and a lighter to set fire to his temple there. 🙂🙃

i've been talking abt my voltron playlists and @iveofficiallygonemad asked to hear them and i want to share with anybody who wants!! i know they're not perfect, i'm working on them & trying to make them better. if you have any recommendations for any of them, let me know!! there's like A Lot and i want to give a lil explanation for most of them, so i'm putting them under the cut ^-^
SO first i have my favorite one <3 it's just. all of them. it's the whole team. it's a mess and it's a bunch of different genres because it's them fighting over the aux cord on a road trip. it's them trying to make each other laugh or annoy each other or play something catchy enough it will infect everyone in the vicinity with brain worms.
Hunk: i'm pretty happy with my Hunk playlist! chill vibes. he strikes me as the kind of guy who listens to calm music to try to find his own calm, and that's what i got here :)
Pidge: this is messier and less cohesive than my usual playlist because frankly i think pidge would have a shit taste in music. all over the board. this is a mix of meme songs and 8-bit covers and vocaloid and stuff that i think pidge would genuinely connect with, and i think pidge listens to all their music on shuffle without any regards for genre or mood because they're a gremlin. nobody gives pidge sole control of the aux.
Coran hears 80's music for the first time and loses his mind. He thinks ABBA is humanity's single greatest achievement.
Lance: i have ideas about where I'm going with this but haven't really settled yet. Lance seems like the kind of boy that loves to dance (is that canon? i forgot) so most of these are Bops That Make You Move in some way or another. he likes to present an upbeat face to the world, so there's no angsting in this playlist! we are clinging to the things that make us happy with both hands until our knuckles turn white!
Keith: i'm gonna be honest. i made him a playlist but i honestly don't think he cares about music very much. it's very important to some people! he's just not one of them! i haven't cracked this playlist open in a while but i'm pretty sure it's full of songs that i think he would conceivably train/work out to.
Shiro: this playlist involves the dumbest headcanon i have for shiro that has just not left me alone since i first thought of it. most of the playlist reflects the fact that he had an emo phase in middle school (that one isn't a headcanon, you just have to look at him to know) but BUT there are a few songs on here that are on here because. little known fact. he also went through a Twilight phase that he told nobody about. (keith knows. keith was there.) he has the entire twilight soundtrack memorized. he moved past the story but the music stays forever. he used to daydream about slow dancing to Flightless Bird, American Mouth. the first time Coran mentions that they have to avoid a place because there's a supermassive black hole there, he has to bite his tongue in order to keep a straight face. do NOT ask me why i believe this so wholeheartedly.
Allura's playlist sucks right now. I think it's because in my heart of hearts i know that, were she on earth today, she would go fucking nuts for taylor swift. i have ambivalent feelings for taylor swift. i cannot do allura justice like this. if you see my vision and have recs as to what might actually fit her, PLEASE.
Klance: i haven't done it yet but i'm gonna go through this and sort it to be a sort of progression of their relationship, starting with the more combative Rivalry songs, then slipping into "oh shit oh shit" songs, then maybe ending on the more lighthearted purely romantic songs <3
(i have two songs in a shallura playlist which does not at all encapsulate how much i'm obsessed with them. the tiny cop inside my head is just constantly screaming at me that i'm going to get yelled at for liking shallura. i am going to kill the cop inside my head.)

1x21 (Salvation):
“SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I’M BARELY HOLDING IT TOGETHER, MAN”
the whole confrontation between the boys is just — painful!! it’s PAINFUL OK. Sam’s gone full in on the hunt to his detriment and Dean just doesn’t want anyone he loves to DIE. Dean looks scared — and it isn’t being scared of Sam, it’s being scared that whatever’s inside of John is inside of Sam.
and that’s RIGHT BEFORE the reveal at the end w/ Meg. nobody look at me I’m fragile
