Can we please take a moment to appreciate how Michael Sheen and David Tennant are just such great actors? Like, I know itâs their job, but DAMN, look at the way they portray each otherâs character. The posture, the facial expressions, the voice!
Can these two just work together forever, please? That would be such a blessing. Stop giving roles to either one of them, just get them to work together in every show and every movie!
I am entirely SMITTEN.
Michael Sheen's absolutely touching and moving moment on The Assembly where he waits patiently for Leo to ask a question has been nominated as TV moment of the year.
Please follow this link to vote!
As far as I can tell, you can vote multiple times a day, so go nuts (but not too nuts in case they think you're a bot and discount the vote).
And for anyone who didn't manage to catch that sweet moment, here is the clip below:
Let's get Michael recognised for the gorgeous, kind, empathetic human he is đ„čđ

Omg Iâm tearing up. He was so calm and kind, just patiently waiting. We need way more human beings like Michael Sheen.
*cracks knuckles* Yet another PSA about the Tennant and Sheen familiesâŠ
Alright, here goes it. I donât give a fuck if you ship Aziraphale and Crowley. Iâm a huge shipper of them myself, so itâs all good! Love them, want the world for them, etc etc. HOWEVER, if you want to:
1. ship David and Michael romantically
2. want to use shipping David and Michael as an excuse to be blatantly misogynistic against their respective partners (Georgia and Anna)
3. want to allege that they are being âtrappedâ in their marriage by their partners âstrategicallyâ having kids
Then get the fuck off my blog. Seriously. Thereâs no place for you here.
Youâre literally hoping that David Tennant, a man with five kids, will leave his wife of 12 years (whom he clearly loves) to end up in a hyper-sexual romantic relationship with Michael Sheen, who would also have to leave his partner as well, with whom he has two young children and who he seems very happy with. Youâre literally wanting happy families to get broken apart so that your selfish ship can sail. Itâs disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
I get wanting to have queer representation, itâs greatly needed and there is always room for more of it. However, wanting to assign a queer identity to someone who hasnât publicly acknowledged that they identify that way is NOT okay. I donât care who they are, celebrity or not. If you want to see queer representation, then Aziraphale and Crowley are RIGHT THERE. Donât wreck real peopleâs relationships with their partnersâand their friendship with each otherâjust because you want your ship to sail. If for some reason David and/or Michael want to come out in the future on their own, then thatâs for them to do when they feel comfortable, and speculating about their identities without them saying anything is just weird and gross.
AND ANOTHER THING! All yâall who write essay-long posts analyzing every single social media thing about Michael, David, Georgia, and Anna: yâall need to get a fucking life. Go outside. Touch grass. PLEASE stop treating these very real people like theyâre puppets in your grand romance story. I guarantee you that their lives are probably not NEARLY as fascinating and scandal-filled as what you think they are. And believe it or notâbecause I know yâall LOVE to use this as âevidenceââpeople are allowed to not be all smiley and lovey-dovey in selfies and photos with their partners, and for many people, teasing their partners is part of their relationship! *gasp* I know right?? Shocking. It literally doesnât mean anything that Georgia and David tease each other or that Michael and Anna tease each other, and that they all occasionally arenât smiling in photos with each other. Thatâs normal person behavior and Iâm begging yâall to understand that.
I know this post probably isnât going to be seen by the weirdo people who need to see it the most, but whatever. I just really needed to get this off my chest.

Good Omens filming locations masterpost! †đđ Part 3
(here to part 1 :))
(here to part 2 :))
Here to the map :)
S2 London (cont):
C rushing to A after Beelzebub's visit (S02E01) - Regent Street St James's, London
Scene: Crowley rushing to Aziraphale after Beelzebub told with that anyone who will be find helping Gabriel will be dealt with extreme sanctions
Availability (as of 2024): street all day
Link on the map
BONUS:
The 1990 book promo photo - Kensal Green Cemetery, London
The photo with Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman that appeared on the 1990 back cover of Good Omens was taken in February 1990 in Kensal Green Cemetery. After the photo was taken and developed they noticed the winged hourglasses and used it as a design motif for the book. The mausoleum is the Hugh mausoleum of Baron John Frederick Andrew Huth, a banker that died 1864.
Availability (as of 2024):
The cemetery is open cca 9-17 but it good to check the opening times on their page since the two entrances slightly differs and times also differ on Sundays and bank holidays.
The mausoleum can be seen from the cemetery path but to get close to it you have to go through overgrown grass and a bit of bramble.
If you go, check if the one of the smol fygo gifts are still there :) †.

Fuck this is GOLD the whole dancing sequence of the skeletons of dead boys detectives I didn't know this existed
Btw I saw it on twitter where it also explains the details from the opening credits https://x.com/Bowtiedino/status/1796971544545038682?t=GtscLrWq6-_J-xlINf6vrA&s=19
This is most definitely the best thing Iâve seen in the past few months!
if you're looking for me I'm here, melted on the floor.
He is just. Omg. I- Iâm melting.
I think one big reason why we don't consider the stars as important as before (not even pop-astrology anymore cares about the stars or the sky on itself, just the signs deprived of context) is because of light pollution.
For most of human history the sky looked between 1-3, 4 at most. And then all of a sudden with electrification it was gone (I'm lucky if I get 6 in my small city). The first time I saw the Milky Way fully as a kid was a spiritual experience, I was almost scared on how BRIGHT it was, it felt like someone was looking back at me. You don't get that at all with modern light pollution.
When most people talk about stargazing nowadays they think about watching about a couple of bright dots. The stars are really, really not like that. The unpolluted night sky is a festival of fireworks. There is nothing like it.
Another poll for y'all, just for fun! đ Which picture of Bildaddy & Uziraphale is your favourite?

Esther Finch built an energy-extracting machine all on her own, the purpose of the machine aside, that's impressive af, she's a fucking engineer
Also built a whole ass human out of a crow (and vice versa, welp)??
She is a true woman in STEM, and no one is talking about it
As a woman in STEAM myself, yes. Just YES.
Aziraphaleâs Choice, the Job Connection, and Michael Sheenâs Morality
Iâve had time to process Aziraphaleâs choice at the end of Season 2. And I think only blaming the religious trauma misses something important in Aziraphaleâs character. I think what happened was also Aziraphaleâs own conscious choiceââas a growth from his trauma, in fact. Hear me out.
Since November 2022 Iâve been haunted by something Michael Sheen said at the MCM London Comic Con. At the Q&A, someone asked him about which fantasy creature he enjoyed playing most and Michael (bless him, truly) veered on a tangent about angels and goodness and how, specifically,
We as a society tend to sort of undervalue goodness. Itâs sort of seen as sort of somehow weak and a bit nimby and âoh itâs nice.â And I think to be good takes enormous reserves of courage and stamina. I mean, you have to look the dark in the face to be truly good and to be truly of the lightâŠ. The idea that goodness is somehow lesser and less interesting and not as kind of muscular and as passionate and as fierce as evil somehow and darkness, I think is nonsense. The idea of being able to portray an angel, a being of love. I love seeing the things people have put online about angels being ferocious creatures, and I love that. I think thatâs a really good representation of what goodness can be, what it should be, I suppose.
I was looking forward to BAMF!Aziraphale all season long, and I think thatâs what we got in the end. Remember Neil said that the Job minisode was important for Aziraphaleâs story. Remember how Aziraphale sat on that rock and reconciled to himself that he MUST go to Hell, because he lied and thwarted the will of God. He believed thatââtruly, honestly, with the faith of a child, but the bravery of a soldier.
Aziraphale, a being of love with more goodness than all of Heaven combined, believed he needed to walk through the Gates of Hell because it was the Right Thing to do. (Like Job, he didnât understand his sin but believed he needed to sacrifice his happiness to do the Right Thing.)
Thatâs why we saw Aziraphale as a soldier this season: the bookshop battle, the halo. But yes, the ending as well.
Because Aziraphale never wanted to go to Heaven, and he never wanted to go there without Crowley.
But it was Crowley who taught him that he could, even SHOULD, act when his moral heart told him something was wrong. While Crowley was willing to run away and let the world burn, it was Aziraphale (in that bandstand at the end of the world) who stood his ground and said No. We can make a difference. We can save everyone.
And Aziraphale knew he could not give up the ace up his sleeve (his position as an angel) to talk to God and make them see the truth in his heart.
I was messed up by Ineffable Bureaucracy (Boxfly) getting their happy ending when our Ineffable Husbands didnât, but I see now that them running away served to prove something to Aziraphale. (And I am fully convinced that Gabriel and Beelzebub saw the example of the Ineffables at the Not-pocalypse and took inspiration from them for choosing to ditch their respective sides)
But my point is that Aziraphale saw them, and in some ways, they looked like him and Crowley. And he saw how Gabriel, the biggest bully in Heaven, was also like him in a way (a being capable of love) and also just a child when he wasnât influenced by the poison of Heaven. Muriel, too, wasnât a bad person. The Metatron also seemed to have grown more flexible with his morality (from Aziraphale's perspective). Like Earth, Heaven was shades of (light?) gray.
Aziraphale is too good an angel not to believe in hope. Or forgiveness (something heâs very good at it).
Aziraphale has been scarred by Heaven all his life. But with the cracks in Heavenâs armor (cracks he and Crowley helped create), Aziraphale is seeing something else. A chance to change them. They did terrible things to him, but he is better than them, and because of Crowley, he feels ready to face them.
(Will it work? Can Heaven change, institutionally? Probably not, but I can't blame Aziraphale for trying.)
At the cafe, the Metatron said something big was coming in the Great Plan. Aziraphale knows how trapped he had felt when he didnât have Godâs ear the first time something huge happened in the Big Plan. He canât take a chance again to risk the world by not having a foot in the door of Heaven. Thatâs why we saw individual human deaths (or the threat of death) so much more this season: Elspeth, Wee Morag, Jobâs children, the 1940s magician. Aziraphale almost killed a child when he couldnât get through to God, and heâs not going through that again.
âWe could make a difference.â We could save everyone.
Remember what Michael Sheen said about courage and doing goodââand having to âlook the dark in the face to be truly good.â Thatâs what happened when Aziraphale was willing to go to Hell for his actions. Thatâs what happened when he decided he had to go to Heaven, where he had been abused and belittled and made to feel small. He decided to willingly go into the Lionâs Den, to face his abusers and his anxiety, to make them better so that they would not try to destroy the world again.
Him, just one angel. He needed Crowley to be there with him, to help him be brave, to ask the questions that Heaven needed to hear, to tell them God was wrong. Crowley is the inspiration that drives Aziraphaleâs change, Crowley is the engine that fuels Aziraphaleâs courage.
But then Crowley tells him that going to Heaven is stupid. That they donât need Heaven. And heâs right. Aziraphale knows heâs right.
Aziraphale doesnât need Heaven; Heaven needs him. They just donât know how much they need him, or how much humanity needs him there, too. (If everyone who ran for office was corrupt, how can the system change?)
Terry Pratchett (in the Discworld book, Small Gods) is scathing of God, organized religion, and the corrupt people religion empowers, but he is sympathetic to the individual who has real, pure faith and a good heart. In fact, the everyman protagonist of Small Gods is a better person than the god he serves, and in the end, he ends up changing the church to be better, more open-minded, and more humanist than god could ever do alone.
Aziraphale is willing to go to the darkest places to do the Right Thing, and Heaven is no exception. When Crowley says that Heaven is toxic, thatâs exactly why Aziraphale knows he needs to go there. âYouâre exactly is different from my exactly.â

In the aftermath of Trump's election in the US, Brexit happened in 2018. Michael Sheen felt compelled to figure out what was going on in his country after this shock. But he was living in Los Angeles with Sarah Silverman at the time, and she also wanted to become more politically active in the US.
Sheen: âI felt a responsibility to do something, but it [meant] coming back [to Britain] â which was difficult for us, because we were very important to each other. But we both acknowledge that each of us had to do what we needed to do.â In the end, they split up and Michael moved back to the UK.
Sometimes doing the Right Thing means sacrificing your own happiness. Sometimes it means going to Hell. Sometimes it means going to Heaven. Sometimes it means losing a relationship.
And thatâs why what happened in the end was so difficult for Aziraphale. Because he loves Crowley desperately. He wants to be together. He wanted that kiss for thousands of years. He knows that taking command of Heaven means they would never again have to bow to the demands of a God they couldnât understand, or run from a Hell who still came after them. They could change the rules of the game.
And heâs still going to do that. But it hurts him that he has to do that alone.
THIS. THIS.
I'm supposed to be cleaning my room but as Good Omens Mascot I feel obliged to share this thought with you lot:
Maybe Crowley and Aziraphale are both optimists. Crowley's optimism is "we will be able to survive and escape this" and Aziraphale's optimism is "we will be able to fix and save this."
Just a thought.
It's been a crappy few days but all I can do is what I can do: reach out to folks who've been affected by the news, spread kindness where I'm able, and create my silly little memes in the hope that at least one will make someone smile. A bonus just because:

Edwin's Smile
I don't think any of you understand how desperately I need more flashbacks, or entire flashback episodes. This is a necessity.
Edwin doesn't smile with his teeth. He just doesn't.
Except for when he sees Charles in hell and when they realize they don't have to run anymore.
But at the beginning of the show, he smiles and laughs showing teeth multiple times. If you pay attention, Edwin is so much more animated in those first few minutes of the show, prior to meeting Crystal.
He's so comfortable and happy around Charles. He doesn't mask, at all; he allows himself to express his emotions freely. Even after he becomes friendly and comfortable with Crystal, and connects really well with Niko, he never looks like this again.
Too much has changed, too much is happening, and he can't seem to allow him to relax enough to laugh or smile the way he does with Charles at the start.
I need to see more of Edwin prior to Crystal's arrival. I need to see him and Charles bantering, having fun, and generally enjoying solving cases together. Show me the Edwin who was Charles' best mate for 30 years.
Note: This is in no way slandering Crystal by the way. Don't be commenting/reblogging/tagging any Crystal hate on this post. To quote John Mulaney, Crystal is a bitch, and I like her so much.
