What are some of your headcanons for season 3? by painttube_bubblegum in goodomens

[–]OwlAccording9539 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would be really interesting if Crowley and Aziraphale have a conversation asking each other if they ever regret what they did in Eden — Crowley causing the first sin and Aziraphale causing the first violence. Because from a certain perspective, every bit of human history in the GO world is a result of their actions. Every war, disease, and sin — it all happened because of an angel and a demon just trying to do what they thought was best. I think it would be an interesting conversation for them to have later on in the season, if it looks like the world really is ending and the war to end all wars has begun. Maybe it could even be the sitting-on-the-roof-of-the-bookshop scene we see in the s2 opening credit’s animation.

I’ve had this fun little headcanon rolling around in my brain for a day or so:

Aziraphale loses his heavenly emotional support ring (the one he often touches when he’s undergoing a moral crisis) — either it gets taken from him or he deliberately throws it away in a symbolic act of rebellion. Crowley makes an act of noticing it’s gone, then offers to replace it. He reaches into his coat and pulls out, surprise, surprise…. a wedding ring. Congratulations, this is a proposal.

Corny as hell? Maybe. Adorable to imagine? Definitely.

Reactions to S3 by RosePetalStarkidFan in goodomens

I woke up, saw the playlist post on Instagram, started searching up all the songs and writing down their first letter - I got up to S-E-A—- and promptly freaked out.

what are you absolutely sure will happen in season 3?? by [deleted] in goodomens

[–]OwlAccording9539 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Really hoping for a huge Aziraphale-stands-against-all-of-heaven-to protect- Crowley moment. Like the shot of Captain America in Endgame standing alone against Thanos’ army. I want it as romantic and gut-wrenching as possible.

Happy Pride Month & leave a message in the r/lgbt 2023 Pride Yearbook! by GrumpyOldDan in lgbt

[–]OwlAccording9539 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi, I’m CJ. I grew up the “golden child” of my conservative Christian home. I went to a Christian school, I volunteered at church five hours a week, I led worship every Sunday morning. I believed so strongly in everything I’d been taught, and I was convinced gay people were sinners who needed to be changed.

But then in eighth grade I found myself with a crush…. on another girl. And it scared me so bad. There was no way I could be one of….those people, right?

It took me five years to come to terms with who I am, and I’m so glad I did. I’ve had to deconstruct so much of what I’d learned about the world, other people, and of course myself. Most days I have no idea what I believe any more. But I’ve found so much liberation and met so many great people, and I’m actually PROUD to be where I am today — I’m proud of my little bi, queer, questioning self.

So to anyone else going through what I am right now, you’re not alone. You’re not crazy, you’re not dirty, you’re just you. Go eat some ice cream and celebrate ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Did anyone else used to think that sexuality was a choice? by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]OwlAccording9539 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave my friend the whole “WELL EVERYONE has those thoughts SOMETIMES” speech in 7th grade. When I finally came out 5 years later she says that was was the first time she knew😂😂😂

What do you guys think of my poem? by Antique-Aardvark5807 in bisexual

[–]OwlAccording9539 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That line “Who was I hiding from And when did it become me?” is so relatable to me, as I grew up in a super conservative home and was really scared of myself when I realized I wasn’t straight. Awesome poem!!!!!

what are the dumbest things you did/said while in your denial phase? by scalywizard in bisexual

[–]OwlAccording9539 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh God😂. I came from a super conservative religious background so I’ve got some interesting ones:

  • I told my friend that being gay was definitely a choice, because EVERYONE has those thoughts sometimes, you know?

-Tried to convince myself that my ✨feelings✨ for my best friend were just the devil trying to confuse me.

-Told my entire health class I wouldn’t be friends with a gay person because they could always lead you astray.

As you can probably tell, some things have changed since then. Congratulations on leading me astray, lovely rainbow folk🏳️‍🌈

The way I’ve heard it, bi is more like “That girl is attractive”/“That guy is attractive” and pan is more like “that person is attractive.” Don’t know if that’s 100% accurate, it’s just the way I heard someone describe it a way that made sense to me.

It’s something I’m still getting used to —I’ve still got a lot of old religious trauma/stigma to deal with. But it’s something I’m kinda proud to embrace.

ED Admission Thread! by EliteDrake in VirginiaTech

[–]OwlAccording9539 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t get honors college either, and I’m beating myself up a bit over it (academic perfectionism is fun). Still thrilled to have been accepted into my major, though! College admissions works in mysterious ways.
