I'm processing a lot of emotions tonight and I keep being drawn back to Good Omens--not just because it's the new hyperfixation or because it's so good. That's what I thought it was, at first.

But this year--hell, the last 3 or 4 months especially, I finally started taking steps to accepting and being myself. I'm rapidly approaching middle age and I'm only just now beginning to feel like I'm allowed to be me. I came out to the people in my household, a few select friends, and a few select family members--most of whom were wholly supportive. I started testosterone injections. I stopped trying to be someone I'm not. I stopped hiding who I am and who I love.

What does this have to do with Good Omens? Nothing. But also... Everything.

So much queer representation is in characters vastly younger than me--and that's good! I want queer kids to feel safe and loved and accepted in ways I never did. They deserve better than we had. And it gives me hope for their futures. I bawled like a baby when I watched The Owl House with my son and he was totally unphazed by the queerness. It's just how people are to him.

But when something like Good Omens comes along and not only grabs every opportunity to show average, everyday old(er) queer representation... It just. I've never felt more seen. More accepted. More hope for all our futures. And season 2 just knocked that out of the fucking park. And the nonbinary, genderfluid, and genderqueer rep? My God.

And it's not subtext, it's not it's own separate plotline where they're fighting for acceptance or dealing with hateful bigotry... It's just... Accepted. It's normal. No one questions it. No one even comments on it.

It's people of any age (even millions of years old) being unapologetically themselves and loving who they love openly and fully (with one notable uncommunicative group of two ineffable idiots, but they'll get there).

I just.

I can't express how grateful I am to see older queer rep at this time in my life. It's been a rough year, and I expect it'll get rougher before it gets better. But I've never been happier in my own skin, and it means the absolute world to see my literary and media heroes like Neil Gaiman, David Tennant, and Michael Sheen (and Terry Pratchett and everyone who worked on Good Omens, honestly) making this beautiful, messy, adorable, excruciating, wonderful, heartbreaking, ethereal, down-to-earth tale.

There aren't enough words in all the languages of the world to express how I'm feeling. "Thank you" just feels... Insufficient.

I just hope they know how much it means to people like me, especially after a lifetime of buried subtext and overt queerbaiting and media ridicule and general lack of acceptance, to experience this story with them.

"With All My Heart" Comparison between Hercules in KH2 and Riku in KH3

This is a parallel that is often mentioned but I haven't seen anyone do a deep dive into the actual scenes in KH2 and compare them to Riku in KH3. I would like to take time to do this now.

Hercules saves Meg, his God powers awaken and he realizes that his powers have returned due to sacrificing himself for Meg and fighting for her with all his heart. Then laughs and says in response to Sora "People do crazy things when they're in love".

------

Riku realizes he has found the strength to protect "his precious person" (per OG Japanese dialogue). Sora yet again says "No crazy stunts" this time to Riku. Riku pulls a crazy stunt, sacrificing his own life, to protect Sora even if he knows it's to no avail. Riku perishes and his body floats in the Realm of the Gods, the same way Hercules awakened as a God when he saved Meg.

It's nearly a 1:1 parallel, the only exception is that Hercules' sacrifice, realization and admittance of his love happens in one cutscene while Riku's sacrifice and realization are stretched across KH3 and we have yet to see his admittance. Despite this, it's extremely on the nose, especially where Sora repeats the phrase "No reckless stunts" to Riku after saying such to Hercules in Kh2. Even more pointed with Riku's body winding up in the Realm of the Gods, floating above The Sun God's, Apollo's, Delphic Tripod. The only thing we're missing from this Hercules / Riku comparison is Riku admitting to pulling this crazy stunt because he's in love. Pending KH4 hopefully.

It's so direct that there isn't even much for me to analyze or add, I'll just let the screenshots do the talking.

i love dick Grayson with all my heart

i just started crying while reading fan fiction

he is such an oldest sister person, like taking the blame, helping (and teaching) bruce how to parent

he lost so much at such a young age just to find another family (who might be loving, but so much more cold) who thought him how to hurt with his grief, loosing another brother to the cause of his father (that he just stumbled into, i'm still angry at bruce for involving his children) and having to watch so many more follow just because of an example he sat when he had no idea what he was doing

he was a child and it was bruce's task to look after him

but dick still blames himself for every other child hero that dies or get hurt because he is the one who started children going out as vigilantes

and he didn't even get adopted

Cupboard Door

You were making yours and James’ lunch, a simple sandwich. Well for him, you were having a crisp sandwich.

You finished making James’ sandwich and called him into the kitchen to get it, hearing a thud and his exited and fast footsteps coming towards the kitchen. Then, you hear him enter the kitchen, turning on his feet, a smack, and a relatively loud ‘fuck’.

Ok so you left the cupboard door open, why wasn’t he watching where he was going?

“Careful.” You look up at him holding his head as he looked at you.

“That was not funny.” He gave me a look like he was trying not to cry, and slammed the cupboard shut.

“Bro, i’m not laughing.” you defended, throwing your hands up by your head.

“You tell me off for leaving doors open.” he grumbled, resting his hip against the granite countertop.

“Yeah, but that door doesn’t bother me.” You shrugged, handing him his lunch, seeing him hide a smirk.

“That’s because you’re fuckin tiny. Don’t know the struggle of bein’ tall.” he complained, snatching his plate from your hands.

“Oi, don’t snatch.”

“What was that?” he put a hand to his ear and furrowed his brows.

“Don’t snatch shit from-”

“Gosh, it’s hard to hear you from down there.” he sighed, taking a bite from his sandwich, looking extremely proud of himself.

You would be very sure to leave that cupboard door open every time you’re in the kitchen from now on 🥰
