Re: Question about Good Omens show

[(Anonymous)]

It's definitely not explicitly queer. If you demand textual proof of gayness, it will not satisfy you. Interpreting the characters as queer is probably the most straightforward reading and I don't think "queerbaiting" is an accurate description but it's not textual.

Yep. It's never stated explicitly (though at one point Anathema does think to herself something along the lines of, "Oh she had nothing to worry about about taking a ride from these two particular male strangers").

It's equally valid to just read it as a very deep and very long lasting non-romantic loving relationship, but to me it reads as a queer romantic relationship.

DA

Yeah, it's more about how OP defines what they're looking for. If it's a sense of queerness, it's all over the place. The characters are definitely not cishet dudes. If OP is looking for gayness, there isn't anything explicit.

Re: Question about Good Omens show

Yeah, specifically gay isn't necessarily what I'm looking for. I guess "queer" would've been a better term, but even though I'm not straight myself, I always feel iffy about using that word because I know a lot of people who have issues with it.

I'm just trying to avoid something that spends a lot of time building up the relationship in a way that could be interpreted as romantic, but then feel the need to assure everyone that they're totally straight, and it sounds like that's not the case, so I'm good with that.

Re: Question about Good Omens show

Ambiguity/open to interpretation is fine with me, what I'm trying to avoid is "spend the entire show illustrating that they're the most important people to each other and then throw in a random woman as a love interest at the end". So as long as that doesn't happen, I'm good.
