I know the Ineffable Fandom went crazy over Neil Gaiman saying “They like holding hands”. But we don’t know if we’ll get any physical affection from Aziraphale and Crowley. Because they’re both canonically asexual but still in love.
But to be honest, the only physical affection I want to see from them is a hug.
Bonus points if it’s a reunion hug.
I want Crowley to bend down to reach Aziraphale’s height, I want Crowley to hide his smile on his angel’s shoulder. I want them to whisper “I love you” to each other.
If it’s a reunion hug, hearing “I missed you” would also be very adorable!
Am I asking too much?
just finished watching season 2 of good omens screaming crying throwing up shaking violently why would they do that they should've stayed together why whyyyyy whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Am I the only that finds it more frustrating when the author says “use your imagination” than an unfinished fic.
Because when it’s unfinished there’s at least the tiniest amount of hope of the author coming back to it.
But when it’s “use your imagination” I just wanna throw my phone at the wall.
Still here

I’m personally sympathizer for Evan Hansen. I understand why he acted the way he did and lied, even though I don’t agree with actions.
I know most people are mad at Evan for lying about Connor. What Evan did was wrong, it’s wrong to give a family false hope about their son who they had just lost to suicide. It’s wrong to lie about someone who passed away.
You can say “I would never do that, ever.” but remember Evan Hansen isn’t you.
Evan’s a neurodivergent, anxious, depressed, suicidal, lonely kid, he’s also scared of public speeches and talking to others in general.
He didn’t have any friends either. Even Jared only thought of Evan as a “family friend”.
So when he talked to Connor, even though it was very brief, and Connor shouted at him, when Connor signed his cast he might’ve thought they were friends. So losing one of the only people who somewhat treated him as a friend, hurt him so much.
He didn’t want to lie about Connor. When he was first given the letter by Connor’s parents, he wanted to tell them the truth.
But he couldn’t. He was anxious and nervous so he panicked, as a result he lied out of panic.
He didn’t want to hurt Connor’s parents by lying to them, he didn’t mean to or want to lie to them, but he lied out of panic.
He didn’t want to hurt them even more by telling them the truth, that their son didn’t write anyone a letter or any note before committing suicide.
When Connor’s family asked him about Connor and Evan’s friendship, he didn’t want to lie but he didn’t want to upset them any further. That’s why he lied.
Also, having a fake, imaginary, overly romanticized friendship with someone, even if that person had passed away, made him feel less lonely and alone. Evan never had a close friend and neither did Connor, he didn’t want to tell Connor’s parents, Connor didn’t have any true friends and him and Connor weren’t really friends. He didn’t want Connor’s parents to become even more sad by telling them Connor wasn’t really friends with anyone and was all alone.
Evan didn’t want to lie while giving his speech about Connor either. But he was once again anxious and nervous so he panicked and lied out of panic. This time he had so many people in front of him and cameras surrounding him, he didn’t want to upset so many people by telling the truth so he lied, hoping that would make things better.
The situation was like a double ended sword for Evan. Lying to people would be wrong, and he knew that, but it wouldn’t hurt them as much if he told them the truth, and if they didn’t found out the truth they wouldn’t be as devastated.
I’m not defending Evan’s actions, what he did was wrong. I’m not saying being a neurodivergent, anxious, depressed, suicidal, lonely kid is an excuse for his actions.
But when you think about all this from Evan’s perspective there are explanations for his lies.
I’m just saying, Evan didn’t want to hurt people, but he didn’t really know how to help them so he thought lying would work, and it worked until it didn’t.
In the end, Evan realized his mistakes and owned up for them, he didn’t make excuses for them, he apologized and tried to make things better even though the damage had already been done, he tried his best to make things better.

Normal People: "You're a great friend."
Romantic Poets: "Friend, in the vast expanse of our platonic love, you are the tranquil stream that flows through the forest of our companionship, nourishing the roots of our bond with the purity of its waters, sustaining us through the seasons of life's journey."

got thoughtful about opinions on bad books so here’s an inverse: what’s a book you had to read for school that you actually enjoyed/have grown to like? mine is Lord of the Flies
The main reason Crowley didn’t want Gabriel around was because the last time he saw him, Gabriel had tried to kill Aziraphale. Crowley was trying to protect Aziraphale.
We love (protective) Crowley protecting his angel.
Not gonna lie, Crowley taking his anger out on his plants instead of Aziraphale is high-key very wholesome and cute.
