Good Omens is twice as good as it needs to be. Genuinely.
If it were written by a good, experienced TV writer who could move a story along but didn’t have the nuance and world building skill of Neil Gaiman. If the leads were played by a couple of good actors with perfectly decent chemistry, but not the incredible character depth, decades of film and theatre experience, and on-screen electricity of Michael Sheen and David Tennant. If it were art directed, designed, scored and costumed by competent professionals who were good at what they do but not extraordinarily dedicated to perfection. If all of that were true, it would be a good show, fun to watch and entertaining.
But it wouldn’t have broken my heart into a thousand pieces. It wouldn’t have millions of fans wondering how they’re going to wait literally years for the conclusion. It wouldn’t have spawned tens of thousands of works of fan fiction and art. It wouldn’t occupy the thoughts and hearts of so many people daily months and months after being released.
It’s such a good example of why good enough is fine sometimes but great is something truly to be strived for, appreciated, and treasured.
I did ittttt
My name is PrinceoftheBendedPaw and welcome to my blog!
I have decided to create this blog to interact with other fanfiction writers, readers, and fandom enthusiasts as to help motivate myself as well as others!
I currently have my sole homebase on ye olde Fanfiction.net, but I am in the process of awaiting an invitation to also post on AO3. There appears to be a massive bot and scam problem on writing sites nowadays, which I am trying to overcome the best I can. Other writers have commiserated with me on the subject. Being absent from the fanfiction writing stratosphere for the last number of years only to come into contact with this issue has been jarring, to say the least.
I have written a few fanfiction for primarily Blue Exorcist, but nowadays, my hyperfixation has been Cult of the Lamb.
I'm still figuring out how I want to use this blog, but I'm open to suggestions!
-End of introduction-
More more Cult of the Lamb Angst
i cant actually remember canon but i like to think it was clauneck that told them.
clauneck to me feels like he should be a neutral party, but he actively helps lamb and i like the idea its bc of crushing guilt
“Hi! My name is-“ SHUT UPPPPP, IM SO TIRED OF TYPING MY NAME, CAN I JUST SHUT UP
“I’m looking for a roommate who can afford-“ IN THIS ECONOMY?! WHO?! WHERE
“Please respond” :,)
"use chatgpt" that's the devil talking. buy four caffeinated drinks and pull an all nighter. this is the way.
I really wanna restore the days of writing my fanfics again. For now I will read
Ahh the conundrum of needing to be more financially secure so you need more hours to work yet you are too mentally unwell to actually attend work and this call out. Also the ceiling caved in the dining room
No eloquent words, only screams of anxiety and shame that are rippling through my spine like a Brazilian wax
I’m considering putting out a trilogy on here born from an idea I put in a journal forever ago covering some gothic tales about witches and their familiars. I still need to finish the stories but expect them to come up soon.
It’s very much a WIP cuz I don’t even have a title yet 😂
Time to do some more witch research and gothic tales research!
