The thing about spoilers (and tags)

is that, if you don't do proper tagging or other means of hiding said posts or tweets, it's on every dash ripe for viewing.

Case, and thusly the goddamned point:

these here are 17 distinctly different tags attached to massive spoilers of season 2 posts. Gifs, screenshots, text posts etc. Discounting some personalized tags, discounting also completely NON-TAGGED posts. Generally only 1-2 tags per post, pretty much at random, not under read-more's or anything.

("Go2 spoilers" is the one Neil uses and "#GOS2Spoilers" is the one used on twitter by the Good Omens Prime account, though this list is made from tumblr posts.)

You could filter half of that list and still see massive spoilers.

I found these all in under 2 minutes at the very top of good omens search. Mind you, I did this cursory look after watching to illustrate this point. This problem had in fact manifested on my own dash without any prompts whatsoever. And I got spoiled the entirety of all big twists and events and scenes and the ending barely- BARELY 6 hours after launch. Most of them, untagged or tagged as inconsistently as above.

This did not happen when the previews dropped the week before. Whatever leaked was swept under the rug right away, collectively, to preserve other people's enjoyment.

The second the official release happened? All gone with the wind. A complete sham. An embarrassement of a spoiler-free zone.

Use proper tagging. Use general tags. Use the tags that official sources or other people have announced to favour. Do not personilize spoiler tags. Use Read More and twitter's sensitivity filters to hide your texts and pictures. Go to private discords to vent and use discord's censor features to vent about it. Shield your kin.

You really, really do not need to post spoilers from minute goddamn one on a public platform. You can schedule posts. Write them before hand. do DMs and watch parties or bloody wait a day or two. AND EVEN THEN TAG AND HIDE AND MIND YOUR SPOILERS.

The callousness around caring for your fellow fans enjoyment has given me beef the likes of which I have never experienced with this fandom before.

Vague venting below. If you want an un-sullied experience, I'd recommend not looking, lest my emotions stain yours.

Please, enjoy season 2 unspoiled in my stead.

Anyway here's wonderbeef:

Imagine carefully cultivating your experience and filtering good omens tags right until the night before launch, avoiding trailers and other season 2 posts and the preview leaks successfully for months. Only for it to be ruined immediately. Imagine, if you will, how robbed that person(me) feels. Imagine how many tags were blacklisted and succesfull and yet?- and yet.

You spoiled season 2 for me. You took my wonder and joy away. The most delighted, non-spoiled moment I had all season was 6 minutes in the first episode. Even Neil's wonderful writing could not salvage my enjoyment of spoiled scenes. There were things that surprised me and delighted me still, but as a whole?

I felt absolutely nothing at the end. Can you imagine? Knowing how I would've felt had I seen it organically? I was robbed of that catharsis before I had any chance to experience it on my own. I had to sit there in that void of a spoiled experience. I had to sit there and think about what you had done to ruin something we'd waited for years. What I would've given for a meere trickle of emotion at the end.

My experience was so utterly voided by spoilers, that I don't know If I can manage any art of season 2 ever.

And if I do, I'm not sure I want to share with you.

Hey remember me?

your latest ibulous art 😭😭😭 SO soft and beautiful and i just get so filled of emotions! the colors and their relaxed faces you caught. ugh I really imagined a scene like that many times as canon because how could it not have happened aaaah. there is so little ibulouis content, feel like louis/legosi takes all the spotlight and sure I get that too and like them but I need more ibulouis in my life!! I cant draw at all, I wish, so seeing u artist making art that goes right into my heart of my fav characters it’s really appreciated!

Aw thank you anon, this is super sweeeet! I wanted to provide something soft and tender after the YOASOBI Gentle Comet video dropped and just tore into those IbuLouis feelings. My poor heart I wanted them to walk away unharmed so bad. 

I listened to The Tenors - Who Wants To Live Forever ft. Lindsey Stirling on loop whilst painting that, so- sometimes dealing with angst is wallowing in it and providing bandaid art for others. 

Thank you for sharing this with me anon, you’ve made my day <3

In gentle evening light, we are together.  Some soft, happy ibulouis for you suffering darlings

Heyheyhey you made it through another year!!  Here’s something for the new one @toyrylaartblog uwu

[solemnart]

This is good moment to remind everyone who’s following me;

Please do not repost my art!

I know I don’t have an account on some platforms (for very specific reasons!) but that does not make it okay to go post my art on my behalf. Seeing people like my art and leave nice comments is literally the only thing I gain from making art, and by reposting you are taking that joy of creation away! That’s my creative juice! I feed on that to give you goodies in return!

Even if I did have a monetary gain, reposting does not benefit me.

If you wish for more people to see someone’s original art or fanart, promote the artist instead! How?

Badabing badaboom. Post that! ^ As pictured above, a screenshot of a post or a pinned tweet that shows who I am, where to find me and what kind of art I do.

This way, people can go ‘ooh this one looks interesting I’ll go take a look’ instead of ‘I’ll leave a comment and a like. the artist will never know I loved it.’

Those likes on your repost would promote me on the platforms that I am on, and thus the algorithm would be more inclined to work in my favour. I’m not on just one platform or one where you'd need an account to view it, I am fairly accessible! You can take a pick on which post to screenshot!

If you have reposted my art, kindly take it down and promote me in other ways. Be nice and I’ll be more inclined to share! It’ll be a win-win, I promise.

I'm still in need of plenty rest (so no regular art updates in store), but I wanted to wish you all a wonderful weekend with some soft ineffable cuddles. Whether it's with friends, lovers or by yourselves, have a very lovely day and take care.

Can Aziraphale play a violin? I don't know- it just seemed like a soothing skill to have so I painted it into being. As you do. For a month. It was relaxing, I swear.  

Please for the love of everything go to twitter and zoom in! tumblr always ruins the quality. I did all sorts of cool things into it!!!! see if you can spot the things that made me giggle a little
