Good Omens Vid

purplefringeEr, hi friends! *waves*. It's been a while! But I, like almost the entire rest of my friend group, have fallen MADLY in love with the Good Omens TV series. It's one of my all time favourite books, and I just, I just can't quite believe how wonderful this adaptation is??? I just??? I was expecting it to be GOOD, but I wasn't expecting to lose my fucking mind like this.
So, here's a vid! This one was a LONG TIME in the making. It first occurred to me...five years ago, I think? Well before the TV show was even announced. It was a hypothetical 'if they ever adapted Good Omens, this is what I would love to make' thing. And....and I can't quite believe I have now finally made it?? wtf.
I just thought, you know what, it would be SUPER INTERESTING to make a vid examining all the theological arguments, biblical concepts and questions of morality which are touched on in Good Omens. There's some really interesting metaphysical ideas in there, and it just struck me that someone should make a vid exploring that more closely - and of course, it would have to be set to a piece of suitably epic religious music. So, here's Bach's Mass in B Minor.
Huge, huge thank you to the *truly* ineffablethingswithwings for her amazingly dedicated beta-ing which made this 1000% better, and also to all my jerk friends (hi guys) who have also lost their fucking minds and yelled at me about this a lot.

If it makes you feel any better, such_heights, aka one of the best vidders I know, is currently having a lot of Ex-Catholic feels and is starting to ACTUALLY make the vid I claimed this was. So you will get it eventually.
=DDDD I too am an Ex-Catholic with a lot of feelings about this show, so I wish her good vidding. (I did kind of wonder, as I was reading your build-up, man, that is awfully fast to knock together a meta-heavy vid, but hey, if she's been thinking about it for years . . .')
But anyway I am delighted it won you over in the end :D It was very hard to vid with my eyes so full of hearts for them. (LORD HAVE MERCYYYYYY)
'S fine. We're all watching with eyes full of hearts too. I feel like the internet may never be coherent again; what a great time to be a fan.

So I hope that will have the same effect. Going to make a start on it tonight...
HEART EYES ALL AROUND.
