I'm gonna sound very old person yells at cloud but I don't care, I feel like I need to say this. We all (well most of us) know that messaging Neil with any headcanons/theories/wishes/hopes/dreams to do with the show is a no-go because it could potentially compromise the story he wants to tell or ends up telling. And yes, he is a grown up who chooses what to respond to etc and I think it's wonderful he engages with fans and answers a lot of lovely and interesting questions about his process, writing and journey etc.

However, there is another reason not to send theories and ideas about how the show should go to the show creator in the hope of a response: it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether a theory is correct, or a speculation may or may not play out. That is why fandom exists.

Online fandom is where we all come together to yell and cry and throw around weird-ass ideas and theories and look at art and read fanfic and unite in our love of characters and a show. A huge part of being in fandom, is the way fandom theories become like an understood little bit of fanon lore that some people attach to, others disregard. But it doesn't matter. And part of the fun of fandom, is when a new season or a new episode of the show comes out, you have this collective catalogue of ideas and theories and headcanons and you get to yell and scream, "omg it happened1" or "lol that that thing was ever talked about" or "thank god that theory didn't come to pass".

Wanting to know now (not that we ever will) and not wanting to wait until the next season to find out the answers diminishes the fandom experience. I cannot stress enough how much we are in the absolute peak of the fandom experience right now. The between seasons time is the ultimate time to be a part of a fandom (as I'm sure many people are well aware), knowing there's another season coming energises everyone to create and connect and speculate and it's glorious! I know it feels like it'll be like this forever, but it won't. Next season is the last and yes, there will be a flurry and uptick of all the energy and excitement once again, and I absolutely believe Good Omens fandom will live on and remain active and thrumming. But there won't be theories and what ifs and hunting for clues for the next season, and over time it will dwindle a little and plateau and some people will fall into other fandoms, and while it will probably bubble away, there won't be the anticipation that sits with us now.

My point is, fandom is where we get to throw around ideas and flail and be ridiculous and also serious sometimes, but it's all for us. For the fans. Showing Neil theories or getting in a flap about a particular speculation and asking if x, y, or z might happen isn't just about putting the creator in an awkward spot, it takes away what fandom is about. Just let this time be ours. If you haven't been in fandom before, enjoy it! Don't be in a hurry to seek definitive answers or know things either way.

It doesn't matter if any or none or all of the things that float around end up being correct or incorrect. Fandom isn't about being right. It's about being a part of a community and being able to share ideas and it's about it being FUN.

So TL;DR Stop sending Neil fan ideas because that is for fandom, not for the creator.

i’m so glad that the tumblr folks in the GVF fandom, for the most part, are pretty chill compared to twitter and tiktok folks. like i’m watching this persons rant and im just like “damn couldn’t be me.” like yeah we have boughts of drama here and there but like nothing like twitter and tiktok drama. yeesh that shit sucks and i’m glad we’re chill for the most part over here. it just makes enjoying the boys music 100x better

also like……if yall still follow and interact with gvftea…why??? like just block them. out of sight out of mind babes!

Knew he was already in the game but ahhhh so pretty! The difference between Xenoverse 2 and this is amazing.

I did notice a change in this boy though, his shoes are now white like they were in DBS Broly. Just clarifying: not a complaint just an observation. Besides how could I have any complaints when…

Ahhhhhh!!! It’s felt like forever since his transformation was playable in a game. I loved using him in Raging Blast 2 and I’m so happy to see his beast form again and usable too!

I’m afraid that’s the only screenshot I got as my phone wasn’t cooperating. Poor Vegeta. But :3

And yes I’m excited for everything else I seen too, but it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t fixate on Zarbon now would it? Although definitely a special mention for Raditz because 💯.

I swear, if Zarbon and Raditz are playable I’m sold. The game could be utter garbage and I’d love it hehe.

sometimes i just geniunely sit there and think about how women literally grow people inside of them. like full on supporting another lifeform for 9 whole months with your own nutrients and all that your own body needs to survive. theres so many risks, its painful its uncomfortable, and women still do it.

like they full on go through hours upon hours of labour. possibly suffer through other complications during that, for example, cesarean sections or even death, and they're all so fucking brave for going through that.

not to mention after, with things like postpartum depression. there's soso many risks involved and women still do it. maybe even more than once if they want to. like i geniunely cant even fathom how a uterus can just grow another person, idek it doesnt feel real.

how do we not talk about this more. like women just grow people. no fucking wonder its called Mother Nature. idek the fact the female body can do that is some divine shit. imagine being able to create and sustain life with your own organs.

i think women are class actually.

[ominouspositivity-or-else]

[theloveinc]

Ok at this point like . How are we feeling about other people adding shit onto your posts?

[daveyfvckingjacobs]

I feel like the people around me’s lives would be greatly improved if they were to just realise that it’s okay for people to enjoy things that aren’t objectively ‘good’

[jackpotsadmon]

The piano gods have humbled me tonight

I made fun of piano in media and now the string players didn’t show up to my piano trio coaching and it’s just me and the pianist and I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DOOOO 😭😭😭

HAPPY LITTLE LANDO WITH POINTS !!!!!! poor papa carlos :(

i’m happy for my little orange fella.

incredibly upset for Carlos, literally a ridiculous penalty. like either you count the lap which put Alonso in P11 and give Carlos a penalty for putting him there, or don’t count the lap and keep the grid pre restart… i’m so confused on how Carlos still gets punished while Alonso keeps P3. he deserves P3, don’t get me wrong, but Carlos deserved P4.

also didn’t sargeant literally drive straight into the back of de vries? where’s his penalty.

me trying to set up a psychiatrist appointment to be able to get my adhd med refills going forward

scheduler: looks like the next availability is in march

me: yeah that’s not gonna work my doctor only is giving me a script for a month and its a controlled substance so i have to get a new script every month to get my medication and can’t just have stacked up refills like most meds and he wants me going through a psychiatrist for that.

scheduler: ...let me put you on hold.

scheduler: we can do tomorrow morning at 11:30 as a telehealth.

me: perfect.

Me: I've matured, I'm peaceful, I'm trying to be more positive and spread either love or constructive criticism these days. No such thing as hate in my soul, not anymore 🩷🍃😊🧚🏻‍♀️🌿🍄

Someone who bullied me in high-school: *appears*

Me:

the crazy thing about being a really conflict averse person that now is in a position of authority is it's so surprising to me how unpleasant having to enforce rules is like we get it i am not cut out to be a teacher but like... having to meet with unruly students SUCKS big time and i hate having to smack them down but the other option (being a pushover) is also really unfair to me and to the other students and as a student i would have had no sense of how anxiety inducing being the professor meeting with students could be...of course i would never act how my students are acting so maybe the point is moot

[milo-is-rambling]

I feel like a huge idiot all the time like it’s great and is awful and there’s a layer of smart in me that I can’t seem to actually get to it just simmers there and occasionally a smart thought bubble floats to my mouth or brain and then soon enough it’s all bullshit again
