Thanks So Much, That Cleared Up Everything. However, I've Always Been That Type Of Person Who Watches

Thanks so much, that cleared up everything. However, I've always been that type of person who watches the movie/show after reading the book. So I think I'm going to read it first😅. Do you think you'll read the book? Also how old are you (sorry if that's intrusive, you dont have to answer)

And after I watch th show I'll definitely check out your live blogs. Thank you.

i've never seen or read good Omens? is it good and also should I read the book before watching the show?

So, I haven't actually read the book yet, even though I bought a very pretty hard cover edition after the end of season 2. But the show is a 100/10 for me. I pray for a season 3 daily, the 2nd one aired on the 28th of July and I'm still not over it (as is the rest of the fandom). It's one of my hyperfixations.

You don't need to read the book to understand the series. The first season covers the whole plot of the book. So you might think "What content is the 2nd season based on? And if we should get a 3rd one what would that be about?". Now that's where things get a bit complicated: The book had two authors (as you might know) Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett, who sadly died a few years before the series came out. Neil and Terry talked about writing a sequel and plotted some of it but never got to writing it due to one of them living in England and the other one in the US. So now after they announced that there will be a 2nd season the plan for was/is to have season 2 be a bridge between what happened in the 1st book/season and what would have happened in the sequel which will hopefully be covered in a 3rd season.

So, the show is weird, but I know you're down for that, so that's good.

The acting, directing, the writing, the editing, the music and the set design and costume design are great.

I did a little live blog for all 12 episodes if you'd like to know my thoughts on any of the episodes in particular.

Let me know if you'll watch it

SALLY HAS A TYPE

Riordan blending up Paul and Poseidon's character descriptions in chalice of the gods is funny because I now choose to believe that after Paul and Poseidon saw each other at Percy's birthday, they both thought "so that's what Sally's into" and immediately began trying to adopt the other's style.

POV MICHEAL HOLDEN

Never have I related to something more

Things about me that clicked after I discovered that I’m not only asexual but also aromantic:

how I’ve always wanted a relationship and then didn’t know what to do in one

why the relationships never worked out for me

why I find romance books boring after reading two or free in a row

how I always felt that I would prefer to be in a relationship in ‘advanced’ stage where everything is comfortable and steady instead of the romantic beginning

how I never understood what people meant when they said they want Aziraphale and Crowley to be something more than they were in the show

how I never understood why finding a partner is the ultimate life goal

how I never understood why people said that some things and activities were better enjoyed with a loved one

why my dream date is eating together or doing some parallel activity like reading simultaneously

why Bilbo and Frodo Baggins being single and not interested in dating was always so appealing

why what I assumed was a fictional crush was actually me liking a character because they liked literature and art

how I never understood the phrase ‘love at first sight’ and how it made me icky because of the assumption that you could fall in love because somebody is pretty

how I always said that it would be okay for me to live in separate bedrooms with my partner

why I never understood why people would want to take part in programs like ‘Love Island’ or ‘Too Hot to Handle’

A (possibly insignificant) detail I love about Dead Poets Society is the fact that Neil plays Puck, who is eluded to be queer/gay and Shakespeare himself was known to write about homosexual relationships. Neil compares Todd exclusively to Walt Whitman, a man known for having relationships with men. They are both comparable to other queer people/characters so easily and I feel like this isn’t pointed out enough??
