GO2 thoughts (with microfocus)
Sep. 22nd, 2023 09:33 amWatched the second season of Good Omens last night. (Well, did two episodes previous night, and then yesterday just... kept going.)
To be honest, I don't really have any commentary whatsoever on the plot and Aziraphale/Crowley and whatnot. It's clearly a setup for Season 3, and hopefully we'll get it; if we don't, that'll be a disappointing end, but I'm pretty optimistic.
Anyway.
No, the only thing I'm thinking about re: GO2 is Gabriel/Beelzebub. Because. OMG.
I'm not sure if a pairing I've shipped has ever gone canon in such a nice way.
Like, they're just so... We get such a small look into their relationship, but it's so good. Like, I can see how we get from A to B. Picking up from the first season, giving them a reason to talk to each other, yadda yadda. And the relationship bits were so... just so nicely done.
There were hints of it through the series, but I assumed that I had my ship goggles on too tight, so I just sat back and appreciated the little bites. But then. THEN. I. ????!
I just.
They go on a very weird date and Gabriel makes the jukebox stick so it'll always play that song that Beez likes, and Beez gives him a fly that's essentially a supernatural USB stick and I just... bravo, I couldn't have done it better. (AND THAT MOMENT WHEN BEEZ REALIZES WHERE THE MEMORIES ARE.... AAAAAH)
And they just... go off together. Like. What the hell. I'm in shock. xD
I'm just. Going to sit here and feel overwhelmed. Because yes. I know there's a lot of wank how GO2 panned out re Aziraphale and Crowley and the plot in general, but as for me, I'm incredibly satisfied by the five minutes we get of my weird pairing, 11/10 would watch again.
[edit] Caved and went looking for icons. Because I have a one-track mind, apparently. Can't remember if Beez had that runny mascara in s1 (it's been a while since I saw it) but I sure do love it. Their entire getup in s2 is one hell of a look.
