One day, your voice will stop sounding like my favorite song, and maybe then I'll be able to write something other than my undying love for you.

Wait, a character can become canonically queer and not immediately be sent to super mega turbo hell by the writers???
he's so pretty!! damn
Geto and Gojo’s relationship is probably my favorite in the manga, so far. Although, these are just some ramblings from my side on - very long post.
The first thing that really stood out with them: they casually use each other’s first names. We know that it’s uncommon in Japanese unless you are really close to the other person. It’s also worth noting that although Shoko was also in the same year as them, she wasn’t as close to them as they were to each other - “The Strongest Duo”.

i have another question because prime subtitles say one thing and all the people quoting it say something else, so: when nina is asking crowley about his relationship with aziraphale, does crowley say “i’m too pure of heart to be anybody’s bit on the side” or “he’s too pure of heart…”?
He says "He's too pure." The subtitles have it wrong.

— where's the walkthrough site that'll show me how to beat this deathloop of worry
The fact that Good Omens S2 was SO QUEER.
Not Just Maggie and Nina (and Lindsey)
Not just Aziraphale and Crowley
Not even just Gabriel and Beelzebub (who is NB)
But the magician shopkeeper and his trans/NB spouse who wore a fancy early 19th century dress to the ball.
Job's son who was flirting with Aziraphale (hilariously played by Ty Tennant giving Michael Sheen heart eyes in front of his dad lmao)
Even the tough macho man in Scotland that Aziraphale borrows the phone from - using it for "Grindr".
Plus of course Michael, Uriel, Muriel, and Dagon also all being non binary/gender queer characters.
With all this, there was no homophobia, no one batted an eyelid at any characters sexualities, sexuality wasn't even brought up, characters just are who they are and like who they like. Its a non issue in the GO universe.
AKA my favourite type of queer representation. The same type found in The Sandman (show not comic).
And whilst there was plenty of drama and not everyone gets a happy queer ending (YET) there was no queer trauma to be seen. No hate crimes, no "bury your gays", no stupid discussions about how HARD it is to be out of the closet in a bigoted world, because the GO world isn't bigoted.
Its SUCH a BREATH OF FRESH AIR.
I know we have similar experiences in The Sandman, In OFMD, and even in WWDITS, but each time a new show takes this very new approach towards queer representation I feel like I'm once again sinking into a comforting hug from someone I love, who loves me back.
Its just really fucking wonderful to see. I hope we keep seeing it more and more often.
