The whole of Season 2 of Good Omens was inspired by Goncharov. Dottie and Sadie, Aziraphale and Crowley’s wives, were basically my take on Perdita and Brigitte, the two tourists who worked in the condom factory, and the whole Goncharov helium balloons and clowns sequence. For that matter, without Goncharov it would never have occurred to me to have made the comedy in episode 4 the fact that Dottie and Sadie and their husbands have unknowingly all been booked in the same hotel room, or to have had the Archangel Gabriel played by a chinchilla. Yes.
Judas iscariot was truly doomed by the narrative I think we should celebrate him on good friday instead. If everything was actually preordained by god then that means he really said you know what fuck this judas guy in particular. yes I planned for him to do this, yes his fate is ultimately out of his control, and yes he’s still gonna be going to hell for it anyway
Anne with an E (2017- ) I think broken things have such a sad beauty. After years of stories and triumph and tragedy infused into them, they can be much more romantical than new things that haven’t lived at all.
some nice bits that were on the link! medicine has a massive misogynistic bias it needs to address.
my family has a history of hypothyroidism, but my mom wasnt diagnosed for decades. she was misdiagnosed and only symptoms were addressed without searching for the actual reason. even now, because how how long she went untreated, her bodys systems are extremely taxed, causing other issues. her body is permanently off the deep end to some degree because doctors refused to investigate to a proper degree.
if you have consistent symptoms, keep pushing. the doctor is not always right. keep pushing.
