So here’s a thread that I’ve wanted to make for a while and I’m just now doing it. And yes, it’s about Good Omens lmao. But basically what I wanted to say is that what I really appreciate about Good Omens that has greatly impacted me mentally has been Aziraphale. (1)
Now let me explain. I’ve always been very self conscious of my weight. Over the past couple years I’ve gotten bigger and more self conscious. Some days it’s hard for me to look in the mirror because I still struggle with my body. However, Aziraphale makes me feel better. (2)
In almost every Good Omens fic I’ve read Aziraphale is seen as beautiful. The body positivity is such a nice thing to see. And on twitter seeing everyone talk about how cute and sweet he is just really boosts my own self confidence. Fans genuinely see him as attractive. (3)
Not to mention the amazing fan art that people make where his body is appreciated for how it is, and people draw him true to how he looks and still see him as beautiful. Every time I see it I feel like my own body isn’t so bad. And that people can appreciate me for who I am. (4)
I didn’t know I needed this kind of positive representation in my life until I realized how I was slowly starting to let go of my self consciousness. Of course it’s still there, but now I can think about Aziraphale and how everyone loves him, and it makes me feel better. (5)
Anyways, that’s all I wanted to say. Maybe some of you feel the same way. I just wanted to make this thread to show my appreciation for Good Omens, and especially Aziraphale, the most beautiful angel ever
