Good Omens, also, got very minimal backlash even for being a complete twist on the Christian mythos and even including what is very arguably a same-gender romance between an angel and a demon and a ton of other very ‘blasphemous’ shit. You know why that show didn’t get as much backlash from conservatives as a 3 minute music video by a musician? Exactly, because the main two actors were white and the book was written by a white man.
Lil Nas X getting backlash for his song is absolutely about race bc I’ve seen so many retellings and manglings of Christian belief that got off mostly scott free from religious fanatics, because they weren’t made by PoC.
You know what Good Omens did get backlash for from Christians? Casting black actors as Adam and Eve

crowley’s apartment is sparse and minimalistic because hell is so crowded
aziraphale’s bookshop is so crowded and intimate because heaven is so empty
Ohhhhh….
laura’s endless list of favourites ● ships ➼ crowley & aziraphale
“I am an angel, you are a demon, we’re hereditary enemies.”
I will never get over this scene. If you didn’t watch this scene in the episode and know for a fact this actually happened you’d think someone had just edited over the most Disney-esque romance music of all kind. That moment when the protagonist princess realises she’s fallen in love with the prince, that is this moment! AND IT REALLY HAPPENED! Even Michael Sheen said this is the moment, this is the scene where Aziraphale falls in love with Crowley.
We are so blessed. I just want to watch this over and over again.
this is so awkward because Pestilence seems to have come back out of retirement this year so now there is FIVE Horsemen and only FOUR Horses
The fifth horse has been LOOSE IN A HOSPITAL for the last 4 years.
Soon to fixed.
The entire history of the world, religion, politics, and pop culture came together to make this joke possible.

That’s it. That’s the post.
I’m sorry. I couldn’t not.
Sometimes, you just have to apologetically reblog something.
Sorry. Very sorry. Sorry.
Oops.
Dear Terry Pratchett fans,
How exactly does one ‘misplace the Antichrist’?!
Sincerely,
Someone who is about to read Good Omens and read the back
You know that cup trick with the pea? Imagine that but with three peas. The peas being babies.
And the cups being satanic nuns.
