Patiently awaiting Good Omens S3
SPOILERS FOR S1 and S2
I happily await season 3, but my knowledge of the past seasons kinda fading a little because it's been three months since I saw them.
What i remember:
S1: I guess Adam and the kids aren't traumatized and living their best lives and they have a new not-a-witch adult friend who gave them candy and her boyfriend I don't care about. Aziraphale and Crowley got kidnapped at the end but 'twas a TWIST these geniuses came up with. Did Hastur die? I think Hastur died. Hopefully Warlock and his family didn't get stranded in the desert, but what becomes of him now? Do they just say 'well that was a really weird thing, but ok whatever'? And Adam still has godly powers, but we're just not going to train them or anything?
S2: Aziraphale wanted Crowley to go to heaven with him for some asinine reason forgetting the whole 'I got a thermos of insta kill in case I need it because I got tortured for saving a person' plus the whole reason he's a demon is because he questioned Plans. Metatron maybe influencing and don't think I forgot him calling Muriel 'the dim one' plus pretty sure the music said 'ominous', but I already didn't trust Metatron. Beelzebub and Gabriel faded away to live their best lives in the cosmos even though Gabriel at least deserves a slap for telling Aziraphale to die. Yes, it's not enough that he actually almost tossed himself out the window. Then that kiss. THAT kiss. The one Crowley poured out his emotions into.
Everyone else is better at analysis and theories than I and a lot probably, most likely, definitely went over my head tbh.
Who would be cool to see s3- Obviously our main duo and the complete fallout of the kiss and leave that happened. God, maybe? Was God even in s2 in present day? See, I don't remember. Nina and Maggie. Inspector Constable Muriel. The new 'bosses' of Heaven and Hell. Satan because he popped up all angry, Adam said 'ur not my dad' and he faded away but was most likely not dead bc a kid shouted at him. I wouldn't mind Adam and his friends maybe as a cameo seeing how they're doing. I'm indifferent to Anathema, she's not wildly cool to me, but not boring. Not me forgetting the whole reason Aziraphale went to Heaven is because he's the next archangel.........
Who I don't care for: Newt and Shadwell. I-I don't know how to precisely explain and maybe I'm the outlier, but I just do not care for them. I was slightly amused by Newt's ability to create power outages, but then I lost interest when he came across Shadwell. Not saying Neil or anyone wrote them bad at all and nothing against the actors, I just found them incredibly uninteresting. That being said, if for any reason they're written back into the script, I will not go on a tumblr rant...i've already done a tumblr rant and I'm a little scared of Neil Gaiman's powers...he has powers, right? Pretty sure he does.
Anyway, no matter what I am excited for season 3!

i know it’s like years old at this point but i love that one collab mumbo and grian did with tommyinnit bc it’s like the single most concentrated example i’ve seen of mumbo’s Chaos Nullification Powers
you get to see a bit of it on hermitcraft, mostly via his interactions with grian, but until seeing that collab it didn’t really hit me just how completely mumbo can no-sell other people’s attempts to control a situation. tommyinnit is possibly the single shoutiest, most chaotic minecraft youtuber out there, and in most videos i’ve seen he pretty much overwhelms everyone else and sets the tone for interactions because of this. but mumbo just. doesn’t let him. no matter how much tommy escalates in intensity, mumbo reacts with *exactly* the same energy he always does. grian largely comes across in the whole video as annoyed and reluctant to engage with the whole thing, but mumbo’s not even affected. he just rolls with anything he finds funny and basically ignores anything he disapproves of, only seeming more and more unflappable the harder anyone tries to get a rise out of him.
AND imo, this is the key to my favorite interpretation of him as a character
see, when the people around him are being more reasonable/calm, i think mumbo often comes across as anxious and a bit easily overwhelmed. the thing is, his nervous wet cat vibes do not scale. he has one setting. his responses to the last life ‘ah-ha!’ jokes and to hermitcraft 8 starting to crumble to pieces under a falling moon are almost identical.
mumbo jumbo is inexorably and eternally Just Some Guy, but that gets stranger and stranger the weirder his surroundings become. the giggly incredulousness that makes him an easy target for goofy puns looks Very different when it’s also his reaction to the impending end of the world.

In light of increasing anti-trans and anti-abortion laws in the United States, I am once again humbly requesting you inform yourself about jury nullification, your ability as a juror to vote against convicting people being prosecuted under unjust laws. Nullification was instrumental in legalizing abortion in Canada - it informed jurors can use it to help protect healthcare workers and protesters in the US, too.

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game
Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter.
Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.
The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge.
And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).
And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game.
Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.
(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).
After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely).
Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.
