If you fall, I'll be there.

Call me corny, if you like.

But if I’m here today, still awake and writing in English as I never was able to do before, it’s because of them.

The “Good Omens” second season blew my mind and forced me to learn English, write fanfiction (for the first time in my whole life!) and interact with other amazing people from the fandom.

I found here a safe place where to share the love for the ineffable husbands and the joy of watching them fall in love more and more in every universe possible.

I already loved David Tennant (since his first Doctor Who performance) and now I dote Michael Sheen and his works.

Both are inspiring models of creativity and humanity.

Let alone if I can start to talk about Neil Gaiman and his big black heart!

I’m lucky to be here and share this stream of love with every one of you: creators, writers, artists, people.

Cheers for being you.

What do you think about Michael not defending David on his comments as he is getting criticized by politicians and other powerful people? I hope they are okay.

If ever David needs defending, I have no doubt Michael will be there.

Being criticized by the Tories, on the other hand, is a badge of honour, and Michael didn't need David when the Tories went after him earlier this year for The Way. It's like being gummed by a toothless dog.

I can't believe there are still people out there defending Aziraphale and not seeing how selfish he is and how cruel he's intentionally being to Crowley, because he never really loved him. Aziraphale only used Crowley when he needed something.

Just because you love Aziraphale you can't keep denying the hard evidence in front of your very eyes!

If you ever needed a reminder of said evidence, here it is, just look at him!

Just learn to read the subtext, ok? Here the subtext clearly says: oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, the Metatron is talking to me! I'm so thrilled!

And here: I'm so excited I might jump up and do the time warp! I can't believe this is happening! After thousands of years my hard work as an angel is finally being recognized! Look at my face, this is the best moment of my life!

The subtext to this one is easy: would you mind terribly if I kissed you, Metatron? I've just been offered everything else I'd always wanted in my life, now I want you Metie!

In contrast, now look at these pictures and their subtexts

Oh, how annoying having you around, Crowley.

But did you have to come to the church tonight?

You are the most undeserving being in the universe and I despise you.

I would smite you alright. (Oooops, that might be read in two different ways. But you know which one I mean, of course).

Oh, you again? Bugger.

So you see. Aziraphale clearly is the villain in Good Omens, if you don't trust this evidence, what can you trust?

They kissed in 1941

This goes with @TheScholarlyStrumpet's story "Almost Lost, Always Found" and was a birthday gift for a dear friend of ours! <3

[crowleys-hips]

nghhh ok so. imagine you and your bestie have this cool idea and you make up a story together for shits and giggles, and then it goes viral and becomes super popular. then, because life is a bitch, your bestie gets sick and before they die they tell you "hey you know that story we did? it's be super cool if you could write the ending, i wanna see that happen" and then they die. so you're left with this and so ofc you go and start writing the rest of the story, but now more people are invested. and they didn't like the middle part you wrote and are threatening to drop a grand piano on your head if you don't give them what they want and you're like ??? "this isn't for you, this is for my friend." but they keep shouting at you and demanding stuff from you anyway.

yea. that? don't do that. it's fine to have emotional reactions to stories and characters you're passionate about, but if you don't like something, you're free to make your own stuff. the story isn't for you. we get to enjoy it too, and that's awesome, but this isn't about you.

i really wouldn't ever wish for anyone to know the kind of pain that losing a best friend feels like, it's world shattering. but if you've ever lost anyone close, you'd probably understand. but even if you haven't, it's no excuse to act so entitled to something that's not yours.

please for the love of Somebody, learn some respect.

Just like they say in the foreword of the book:

People say: What was it like writing Good Omens? And we say: We were just a couple of guys, okay? We still are. It was a summer job. We had a great time doing it, we split the money in half, and we swore never to do it again.

[...] It doesn't really matter what definition of cult classic you use, we didn't think we were writing one. We were writing a book we thought was funny and we were trying to make each other laugh. We weren't even sure that anyone would actually want to publish it.

[tipofthehat665]

I'd give anything for people to stop bothering Neil, or the actors, about how they want the story to go.

[noneorother]

Can you imagine being surrounded by people who just aggressively ask questions all day about a meeting you're going to have at work 1 year from now? Yeah stop doing that.

[grntaire]

fun musical bit about this scene!:

the piece that the car is playing (the "classical music that stays classical music") is a tone poem, saint-saëns' danse macabre. it's a super famous piece that you've probably heard before and is associated with all things spooky. but it's not just spooky bc it sounds spooky: it's spooky bc it tells a story! a tone poem is a piece of music evokes a poem, short story, landscape, etc. in short, it's a piece of music that's describing or outlining something.

danse macabre tells the story of the devil, who every year on the stroke of midnight on halloween plays his fiddle to raise the dead. the dead dance for him until the following dawn, where they return to their graves until the next year. (musically it does a lot of cool things to reflect this: there's 12 notes at the beginning representing the 12 strokes of midnight, and the frequent use of a specific musical interval called the tritone. in the medieval period the tritone was also called diabolus in musica, literally meaning "the devil in music" bc of how dissonant it sounded to listeners at the time. it also quotes the dies irae chant as well!)

so the fact that it's what the car chose to play is SUPER cute. bc it's classical (technically it's from the romantic period, but w/e), like aziraphale wants, but it's also reminiscent of crowley. bc i bet the car knows just how much aziraphale loves crowley, too. it's a really subtle nudge that the car knows both of them and it's like the car is finding a musical middle for them both, almost.

it's also a subtly brilliant choice bc in the flashback prior, aziraphale said that crowley asked to meet aziraphale in the graveyard at midnight. just like the devil met the dead on halloween.

Also, the whole goddamn season has a theme of resurrection. The pub, the zombies, Crowley bringing that businessman back to life in the last episode, the second coming. So this song is very, very fitting for the theme of the season.

6.000 years later he is still amazed at the things his angel does

[the-bestomens]

I feel like the fandom is overlooking this Aziraphale's line. He perfectly knows that Heaven is no better than Hell.

And I know TV Aziraphale is slightly different from Book Aziraphale, but he is not totally different character. Do you remember this amazing bit from the GO book? I think we'll get something like that in S3.

It's while he's discorporated and he goes through a couple of different spiritualists in different countries before he gets back to London and Tracy; he stops off in an American TV evangelist and points out everything wrong with the guy's sermon…

"He (the preacher) stopped, suddenly. “Well, nice try,” he said, in a completely different voice, “only it won’t be like that at all. Not really. “I mean, you’re right about the fire and war, all that. But that Rapture stuff—well, if you could see them all in Heaven—serried ranks of them as far as the mind can follow and beyond, league after league of us, flaming swords, all that, well, what I’m trying to say is who has time to go round picking people out and popping them up in the air to sneer at the people dying of radiation sickness on the parched and burning earth below them? If that’s your idea of a morally acceptable time, I might add.

“And as for that stuff about Heaven inevitably winning . . . Well, to be honest, if it were that cut and dried, there wouldn’t be a Celestial War in the first place, would there? It’s propaganda. Pure and simple. We’ve got no more than a fifty percent chance of coming out on top. You might just as well send money to a Satanist hotline to cover your bets, although to be frank when the fire falls and the seas of blood rise you lot are all going to be civilian casualties either way. Between our war and your war, they’re going to kill everyone and let God sort it out—right?

“Anyway, sorry to stand here wittering, I’ve just a quick question—where am I?”

[ladybracknellssherry]

Why didn't anyone tell me this is a play on a bible quote? First time I regret being raised by atheists.

Can't believe some gay ass show got me reading the bible.

[ednav]

Oh my—

So. In that passage, Adam “knows he’s naked” because he ate the apple with Eve. And yes, there’s a sexual implication there—“knowing” in the Bible is notoriously a euphemism for “having sex”—but most of all he knows he’s naked because he’s chosen to decide on his own what is good and what is bad. Because he’s begun to follow his own free will and not the orders of God.

Adam knows he’s naked because he’s become fully human.

And I can’t help noticing that it’s our favourite angel who’s been acting like a human for several centuries—and who found out that he loves to eat thanks to the very Serpent who tempted Eve—who recognises that Gabriel is naked, is ashamed, and hides.
