THE GOOD PLACE 4.09 | The Funeral to End All Funerals
[I.D.: 2 gifs of Michael from the good place. he is saying "people improve when they get external love and support. how can we hold it against them when they don't?" end I.D.]
how?? just how?
Two ends of the elf spectrum
Dracula feels like this morning’s physical assault, smashing of the mirror and being vaguely obsessive about blood is water under the bridge by noon; time to wax poetically about his homeland to his capri sun good friend Jonathan
It's the same look. Just saying.
Nice catch, brilliant!
Badass Aziraphale take :D
The "someone's trying to fuck with my snake" look. The "I have a devious idea for how to stop them" look. The "NOBODY touches Crowley on MY FUCKING watch" look 🥹❤️
say what you will about gotye's "somebody i used to know" but i gotta appreciate a song that ends with a second party rebutting the entire rest of the song, while still in the song. imagine if more songs did this. incredible.
"you didn't have to cut me off"
"yes I did actually and it's because of your bullshit"
Everybody, simultaneously, 10 minutes into Dead Boy Detectives: These bitches gay,,,good for them
Plz I need a second season
There is something about proudly proclaiming a show "tumblrista catnip" that makes me emotional.
Something about how for years tumblrinas were ridiculed by show creators.
Something about Supernatural having a meta episode set at a convention with all the weirdo fans that made the main characters uncomfortable. Something something about Becky and the message that fangirls are gross and obsessive.
Something about Sherlock and the way fans were portrayed as crazy obsessive nutjobs for trying to figure out how he faked his death.
Something about creators mocking fandoms, dismissing them as freaks. Something about queer people not being welcome to engage in their creations because "why do you have to make everything gay?"
Something about the malicious culture of queerbaiting throughout the 2000s/2010s, followed by Bury Your Gays tropes across the media landscape because hell, you should be grateful we even gave you queer characters to begin with - and everyone dies in our show! You ain't special!
Something about Destiel questions being banned from conventions...
And then...
Something instead about Good Omens, and letting the story adapt naturally, embracing the fanbase and leaning into the fanservice.
Something about Our Flag Means Death, and the genuine outpouring of love and affection between cast, crew, and fandom that culminated in an explosion of fanworks that were never once mocked or deemed gross or wrong.
Something about Sandman, and staunchly digging in their heels on the queerness of it all, refusing to give in to the homophobes and instead avidly mocking THEM on social media rather than us.
Something about the writers hearing about fandoms favourite ships and excitedly stating that YES! We DID lean into that because it happened naturally and made sense.
Something about a firefighter coming out as bisexual after 7 seasons...
So yeah, something about a new high quality show made FOR US. By creators that love US. Respect US, and WANT our love.
Something about US FINALLY being a target audience for the best shows being made on TV now.
Tumblrista catnip. Creators saying "we made this for you. You are important. Your voices have been heard."
It just... all got a bit overwhelming for a moment there.
I'm literally 8 minutes into the first ep of Dead Boy Detectives and can tell I won't be normal (tm) about this show
Why you should watch the Dead Boy Detectives
hope the globe appreciates their instagram person
why does no one remember how homophobic the 00s were? this totally checks for 2003
good omens + text posts → 9/? bonus:
