I did my best, it wasn't much

[purplefringe]

guys, I...I made another Good Omens vid? A third one? I don't know what has happened, I don't understand anything any more, apparently Good Omens is my whole life now. (Which is good, I guess, because I have well and truly noped out of engaging with the Real World in quite a serious way, so it's nice to have something else to think about.)

This one has...Feelings in it. Many Feelings, which I absolutely did not know I had. But there we are. It's also to a piece of music about which I (along with approx. half the world) have Many Feelings, although I did know about those, because I once wrote a 2,000 word email-essay containing some of them. (it's NOT Queen, I promise)

I think I had a lot more to say, but it has temporarily escaped the chronicler's mind. Er. Have a vid, I guess.

Thank you to the wonderful soupytwist, such_heights & raven, who are lovely and thoughtful (and patient, and long-suffering) betas. If you haven't already, you should watch the Good Omens vids such_heights and raven have made recently, which are both breathtaking in very different ways.

Hallelujah

fandom: Good Omens
music: Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, covered by Pentatonix
summary: there's a blaze of light in every word / it doesn't matter which you heard / the holy or the broken hallelujah. On faith, and falling, and freedom.
content notes: a shot of a snake at 00:18; a brief shot of a nail being driven into someone's wrist at 2:08. (I also have a version without the snake, if anyone would like that one)

ETA: I strongly recommend you go and read elisi's extraordinary Good Omens meta - the first section is a wonderful commentary on Aziraphale's journey as presented through this glorious vid by promethia-tenk, and the second section (about two thirds down the page) is about Crowley, and ties into this vid! YAY, INTER-TEXTUAL FANWORKS \o/

This vid gave me chills, and it's super-appreciated today, the hottest day of the year(so far).

Also it is very good, and each time I watch I notice something new, and the whole thing is so moving, and it works so well.

Wow, this is gorgeous.

[viggorlijah]

you are going to make my seven year old Good Omens superfanchild burst into noisy tears. This is SO BEAUTIFUL

[nellacitta]

HOLY SHIT DUDE

Despite knowing the story, despite watching the series 3 times, despite reading it 10xmillion times, I was still gasping and biting my nails and falling over every emotion with them

How did you make it into a new story? And the same story? And a different story? And -

basically, MY EMOTIONS

[schneefink]

This is absolutely gorgeous. I've had this tab open for a while now, hoping that if I watch this a few more times I'll finally find the words to describe why it's so great, but not so far. It's really good and gives me a lot of feelings.
