This is for [personal profile] maia. It doesn't really deserve the meta café tag, because it's literally just thoughts that have been knocking around in my head for months and that I never got round to writing down. And I'm still not sure that I'm contributing anything of note. But hey ho, here you go. This is not well-written, but at least it exists:

Many spoilers for S2 of Good Omens )
elisi: Niko excited (Fanfic)
All hail the Moff and Twelve. DW magazine did a poll of best Doctor Who episodes, and well... go look!

I posted Chapter 3 of All Breakages Must Be Paid For. <3

The Netflix series of Avatar: The Last Airbender has an Official Teaser, and it looks incredible!


(If writing/acting etc lives up to the visuals, it will be stunning.)

And - on a completely unrelated note - Good Omens 2 continues to take up all my available brain space. I give you THIS proof that Michael Sheen is the most feral shipper of us all. <3 (Spoilers obvs) ^_^

Really enjoyed this, a lot of interesting thoughts.

ETA: Thought I'd throw this one in here also:

So, I haven't been around much for the past month due to, well, living on Tumblr. This is the result. It's a carefully curated post of the discourse/meta on S2 of Good Omens, analysing and digging into the themes and characters. Incomplete, obviously, as I will be adding more since it's an ongoing conversation with the show.

Although there are a few DW posts, mostly it's Tumblr. Also, there are a couple of my own posts in there, as well as one of Promethia's and many of Owl's. :)

For reference, here is my Good Omens Master Post, which I will add this post to. I will presume that everyone is familiar with everything in that post, certainly the meta side, as it's a complex and deeply layered show. Enjoy!

Here be many spoilers )
elisi: And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square (Nightingale)
Good Omens 2 came out and ate my brain.

At some point I will re-emerge and engage with the general world, but for now I am simply just sinking deeper and deeper into all the layers and metaphors and mirrors... *waves hands* This show is like nothing else! <3

A few things under the cut (beware SPOILERS):

S2 of Good Omens )

Disabling comments, because it's all still percolating.

What made the difference was this poster by Rory Kurtz. Isn't it amazing?

The poster for S1 has been my wallpaper for the past 4 years, it's almost a part of me.

So a new poster means actual change.

If you care about Good Omens. TRUST ME. Don't be fooled by the deceptively slow start...

ETA: It's not a trailer. But it's more than just a parody... Watch, and you will see.
elisi: LOVE (i got you blue)
We got a trailer and a date for Jodie's last episode:



A few thoughts, spoilers for the trailer )

But, in more exciting news!!!



It feels like a million years since Good Omens aired... as with most things pre-covid. But goodness, a single poster is poking at emotions that have merely laid dormant, waiting for their moment. Their wings form a heart! The background is nicely grey. The number 2 has both a halo AND a tail. *flail*

I also look forward to spending 9 months speculating on what the blue feather means.
