That’s one conception of death, for a Buddhist. The wave…returns to the ocean. Where it came from. Where it’s supposed to be.
Not bad, Buddhists.
Post-finale feels. Thank you The Good Place ❤️ We already miss you.
normal show where a main character dies but people find out they weren’t really dead: angsty, lots of crying, dramatic reveal
the good place: ppl thought jason died 1000 years (or jerimy bearimys) ago but then janet arrives and he just casually walks out from behind a tree like “hey janet!” and shes all “jason? oh hey it’s jason”
Waking up in a world where the good place is already over:
But then remembering that it was perfect and that they gave every character the perfect ending for their stories:
Team Cockroach — Final + First Lines
One of the things I loved most about the good place finale is that none of the character’s defining traits were “compromised” for the sake of growth... like often characters who become “good” just become these bland unrecognizable and unattainably perfect saints but in the good place they all stayed themselves, from pillboi to kamilah to eleanor’s friends, they just became more at peace and more thoughtful and thus more caring with each other but still real and believable... it just makes it feel like we all could achieve that type of growth, ya know?
I’ll say this to you, my friend, with all the love in my heart and all the wisdom of the universe. Take it sleazy. THE GOOD PLACE (2016-2020)
The wave returns to the ocean. What the ocean does with the water after that is anyone’s guess. But as a very wise not-robot once told me, the true joy is in the mystery.

“I want to write a fanfic for it, about dead kids… In a non morbid way.” ~Me to my college bud.
The concept for my fic is fairly simple. Centering around the question what happens to the children who are unborn? For one reason or another they never truly lived. So they were never good or bad. They are complete blank slates.
Season 1
One of the GP residents was formally a social worker on earth that helped raise millions of dollars for planned parenthood, foster care, and rescued thousands of children from unsafe enivroments.
With Michael and Janet's assistance they decide to continue they're work helping eager couples find their kids and perfect their afterlife families.
Not every couple wants kids so not everyone has a child placed with them.
Chidi seems like a guy who would have liked to have a child. Hence Analiese's placement.
Tahini and Jason don't have a kid. Because that would be torture for the child.
Lysie really throws a wrench in Eleanor's working to become a better person plan. Hard to study being a good when you have to also mascerade as part of the perfect parenting pair.
Lysie is such a blank slate having never lived. All of her personality traits and intrests have to develop.
Her obedient started personality drives Eleanor crazy.
The two aren’t really close.
Ana absolutely adores Chidi, she’s his little shadow for quite awhile.
She does however tire of his indecisiveness often making up his mind for him. In the way a living child would.
“No it’s Ah-na. Not a-nuh!”
This kid can’t tie her shoes.
Eleanor’s negative relationship and actions eventually leads to a glitch in the good place. Having an unwanted effect on Ana’s aging.
Everything corrects it’s self.
After the event. Eleanor’s despite her best efforts grows somewhat attached to Ana.
Ana really isn't a confident child at the start. Eleanor teaches her the value of rebelling a little bit.
This teaching actually leads to Eleanor spending a more time with Ana as she develops a broader personality.
Ana doesn’t understand why Chidi’s teaching Eleanor to be a good person.
Analiese makes so many jokes about the fact that she’s dead.
Ana does what neither Chidi or Eleanor thought to do.
“Janet, please get us the comfiest couch.”
Eleanor teaches Ana how to stuff her pockets with snacks, make a churro donut ice cream cake, and be an over all fun person.
Analiese has a low tolerance for Tahani’s superiority complex.
She thinks Michael is funny.
Eleanor, Chidi, and Ana are very dysfunctional family.
Movie nights with all three of them. Ana picks the movie.
“Why does everyone like Elsa? Anna’s the hero.”
“That’s what I’ve been saying!”
