PLUS: 'It's A Cold And It's A Broken Hallelujah' - Queer lens as default: Crowley (and Heaven and hell)
So, finally a Good Omens meta café, but not my usual style. (It has taken me best part of a week to write this and it's 10k+ words.) It's also the gayest thing I have ever posted, by quite some distance. (With many thanks to Owls for queer picking <3)
Since I was lucky enough to beta/cheerlead as this vid was created, I thought I’d write up what it all meant (much to Promethia's delight). So this is, essentially, a look inside our brains (Owls', Promethia's and mine) by going through the vid (almost) clip by clip. I have skipped some of the filler stuff, but everything important gets addressed. So if you are interested in what it’s saying, and why, and looking at what’s going on below the surface, this is the post for you! With insights into the vidder’s thoughts, much, MUCH meta (on... everything, the vid just provides the structure), and a great deal of self-indulgent asides by yours truly. I mean, the vid is self-indulgent, so the Notes should be too. It only follows logically.
Plus there is an additional bit of meta end, dealing with Crowley, Heaven & hell, and (serendipitously) tying in to another vid. ☺ Warning: If you are not an emotional wreck by the end, I have failed.
