[not-so-rosyyy]

no idea if it's my hormones, what I've seen in the news lately, the weight of living the past few years, or just because it's Judi Dench...but this impromptu performance really made me cry for a good ten minutes, no kidding.

Today’s Dracula Daily takeaways

1. Aww, she finally (hopefully) gets another bout of Dracula-free dozing.

2. Lucy’s tells ‘everyone’ goodnight/goodbye in her diary the same way Jonathan said ‘Goodbye, all!’ when he...ah, ‘signed off.’ Aww?

3. Mina is in love with a pair of Shakespeare nerds. My personal headcanon is that while she adores them both very much, she was Not Aware of the trials that come when you get two fans of Willy Shakes, both of whom make a habit of quoting him and his plays every chance they get, in the same room. She only realizes the mistake when they’ve planned a daytrip together and Jonathan let’s a Hamlet reference slip out as they’re getting ready to leave, causing Lucy to radiate a sudden !!! before rejoining him with the next line. To which Jonathan responds with his own !!!

Three hours later, Mina cannot bring herself to mention they’ve lost the timing on their outing, nor could she mention it if she tried--Jonathan and Lucy are locked into Bard-mode and there is no escape.

#RIP to Mina but you chose to love these nerds and that comes with all the theatre geek consequences #lucy westenra #jonathan harker #mina murray #mina harker #william shakespeare #dracula #dracula daily

Somehow this line at the tail end of a history play about war and nationalism is one of the most romantic lines in Shakespeare (imo). Everytime I think about this I blush. It’s crazy.

What’s more shocking and exciting than a King consoling you about your fears that kissing him before marriage would be improper than for him to say: ‘Oh please don’t worry, I’m the highest power here, who could we possibly offend? We are who set the standard, we are who dictate the improper, so let’s cut loose, let’s make a new manner.’

#ripping my hair out screaming digging shakespeare up and making out with him #also the way he uses her name in this scene is UGHHHHABBSHSHA #so much I could say abt this too #his honest but slightly exaggerated stumbling over the french language bc he knows it’ll make her laugh SOBBBBBB #Henry V #shakespeare #double shot

[Image ID: A digital art piece of Laertes and Ophelia from Hamlet, but in modern day. Laertes is laying down on a bed, carrying Ophelia so that she is dangling above him. Laertes is around 12 and Ophelia is around 2. Both are smiling at each other. /End ID.]

The weirdest/funniest (well to me at least) thing that happens in Romeo and Juliet is that no one cares when not one but TWO members of the ROYAL family die. Mercutio and Count Paris both die and they are related to the prince and for some reason no one really cares.

1. When Mercutio is killed, Romeo and Benvolio are saddened cause their best friend is dead. Because of that Romeo kills Tybalt and for whatever reason, Tybalt’s death is more important than Mercutio, like Mercutio is just like forgotten. The Prince banishes Romeo because he kills Tybalt but seemingly he just forgets that he’s COUSIN got killed by Tybalt. I feel like he should have thanked Romeo for getting rid of the man who killed HIS COUSIN, but no Romeo gets banished. It’s almost as if everyone just forgets about Mercutio (which hurts me deeply cause he’s my favorite character)

2. The scene where everyone finds Romeo and Juliet dead, it seems that everyone just ignores the dead COUNT. RoMEo AnD jUiLet dIeD FOr eAch OtHEr hOW tRaGic, dude there is literal DEAD ROYALTY WHY IS NO ONE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE DEAD COUNT PARIS. Don’t get me wrong i disliked Paris (disliked is a weak word), but like why does everyone in Verona including the Prince just gloss over when someone who is royalty dies.

Permanent Changes to Brain Chemistry (Or, This isn't the Genre you Think it is)

Hmmm, been thinking about Coffee Theory lately, and also the new wave of Aziraphale had a plan and was trying to communicate in Secret Code to Crowley but Crowley didn't get the part where it was in fact a code..... I have to wonder as someone who has been around the fandom block once or twice, I think both of these theories come from the same place: The Sherlock Hiatus. Yes, folks, we are in the new rendition of The Hiatus™. It feels weird to call it that, as Good Omens is not a show that regularly airs but that fact that we will be in a drought of Canon from August 2023 to 2026 at probably the soonest means that we are in fact in A Hiatus Season. Well, what the fuck does Sherlock have to do with Good Omens ??

I'm glad you asked! My New Thought of the week is that the Sherlock Hiatus permanently changed the brain chemistry on this website, or at least of fans of a certain stripe. Sherlock was a show that I obsessed over (rather late to the game, in 2017), and so did many others. With the cliffhanger of Sherlock's jump at the end of season 2, there was nothing for fans to do but theorize and theorize and theorize.

Sherlock was also a show that actively hated its queer legacy, and by extension, its fandom (looking at you, Steven Moffat). This is getting long so my point is, I think the off-beat super complex theories about GO and the final fifteen come from a place of being actively cat-fished by Sherlock, years ago. I mean, Sherlock S3E1 basically took all of fans' theories, tore them to shreds, spit on them, lit them on fire, and then presented it's own, Even More Crackpot theory as to how Sherlock survived??? The whiplash, maaaan.

So fans, having gone through All Of That, with Sherlock, have now come to almost expect mysteries in fannish shows to be overly complicated. And just, that isn't how Good Omens works?? Like, Neil and the rest of the cast and crew Do Love the fandom, and want to tell a story that is Doing Right by the fans. (Dottie and Sadie in Neil's asks are hard not to swing as the products of a good natured uncle winking and thumbing his nose at you). And second, I think these elaborate theories mistake the final fifteen as being part of a mystery show when in reality the final fifteen are part of a tragedy. Aziraphale is Hamlet. He is a tragic hero. We are to root for him, despite his flaws, or even because of them. It is because of Aziraphale's altruism that he makes the choices that he does. Altruism is Aziraphale's Hamartia, his tragic flaw.

He may be being played by Metatron, but because of who he is as a character, as a guardian and protector, Aziraphale cannot walk away from the chance to protect the earth and make things better in heaven without sacrificing a large part of his values and Who He Is. Metatron knows that Aziraphale is altruistic, as a constant, but that that altruism can be twisted and led astray.

In a tragedy, there is a point called Peripeteia, which means the point in which the tragic hero's flaw condemns them to a certain course of action. This is what we see Aziraphale go through in the final fifteen.

He is offered a choice, and he makes a choice, and in the end, it isn't a choice. Looking at GO through the lens of a tragedy, all of those statement can coexist, and they each have equal weight.

Crowley, on the other hand, is Orpheus. Don't look back. You are leaving, you are on your way out the door, you can sense her presence behind you. Don't look back. The cavern grows darker, the threat looms larger, you talk into the echoes, and every time you hear her reply, you cannot tell how far away she is from you. Don't look back.

You look back. You kiss him, furiously, in a bookshop. You have looked. She is taken from you. Crowley knew that that kiss was never going to have worked. But he needed to kiss Aziraphale anyway. He never could have told Aziraphale before the Metatron showed up that he loved him. (Can one blame Orpheus, for being a plaything to the muses?) (Can one escape a Hell that doesn't send Strongly Worded letters?)

You have to look. You have to love her. You have to let her know you love her, even as you cannot have her.

Obviously, Good Omens as a whole isn't a tragedy, but the final fifteen of Season 2 are one, and I think we have a lot to learn from treating them as such.
