Narrativia Snow Globes: A Good Omens multiverse
Letâs further address this gorgeous easter egg featured in Asa and Anthonyâs meeting street: Narrativia snow globes. The snow globe(s) in Good Omens are more than just decor, they quite literally are universes on their own.
Most of us know already that the significance of the snow globe in the end scene of GO means that one in one way or the other, Aziraphale and Crowley continue to exist in a universe of their own. I would love to combine this with Rachel Talalayâs words where she said:
What we have at the end of GO3 is our current, real world. Where we as humans get to choose and live life without the machinations of heaven or hell. And we get to live in this real world, this universe, because of Aziraphale and Crowley. Now, if this is âthe real lifeâ and the other was âjust fantasyâ, (see what I did there) that makes the Narrativia snow globe store all the better. Narrativia is of course a direct meta-easter egg to Terry Pratchettâs own production company. A place where stories are produced. And in GO, a place where infinite universes are sold.
One of them being the snow globe featured story-wise with the Bookshop and Bentley on the final scene. A question of, if Narrativia sells these globes, how many are there floating around? And in our real world: we have two versions (Bookshop and Bentley and the one on fire).
And youâd ask yourself, why preserve a universe where the bookshop burns? Because GO has always argued that love and meaning only matter because loss is possible. So if these globes are universes, then the existence of the burning one suggests something pretty profound:
and that is that even painful timelines are still preserved. They still "exist" in the narrative cosmos. Stories contain tragedy alongside comfort, alternate possibilities matter. There's also another possibility that fits the meta-layer of the finale: The Narrativia snow globe shop may imply that all versions of the story are artifacts - preserved narratives. The âhappyâ globe is the canon people long for, the burning globe is the canon trauma fandom cannot let go of. And the show acknowledges both.
Honestly, I think the reason the âsadderâ globe exists is because the emotional rupture of the burning bookshop is foundational to Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship. Without that loss, they never fully realize what they mean to each other.
The tragedy-universe is inseparable from the love-universe. Thematically, the show keeps returning to the idea that you only recognize home once you nearly lose it. So the burning globe may not represent a "wrong" or necessarily âsadâuniverse. It may represent the necessary shadow version of the happy one; the world where love becomes visible because destruction briefly seemed inevitable. Paradoxically, that happens in both universes.
I think that what I'm trying to say is that humanity persists because stories persist. Aziraphale and Crowley continue to exist as long as the possibility of their story continues to matter.
A very meta reading of the ending imagery of GO may function less like a fixed-universe and more like a contained narrative space; something that can be curated and replayed, but that doesn't make it any less real. I'd like to include STP's view of fantasy in that sense and how it has shaped humanity as long as we have existed as humans.
So if universes are metaphorically snow globes, that does not make humanity meaningless or even A & C's story, it makes them the point of display. Aziraphale and Crowley survive because their story resists conclusion in the way that we as humans generate stories, thus choices, thus contradictions and thus meaning. They happen to be unresolved love stories that fuel the strongest narrative engines. Even in God's words, the predictability of that love is what we find so amusing and the multiverse does not erase individuality as seen in Asa and Anthony, but it keeps proving that love and narrative connection recur strongly enough to shape reality itself.
Something that might seem completely unrelated to this is the finale of "St. Elsewhere", which resonates with that of Good Omens and more recently, with how the Stephen Colbert Show ended. Although this St. Elsewhere review includes the appearance of a deity, it still posits the same questions about stories and the world:
That is the actual ending, a strange world-within-a-world. It seems to imply that the events of the show were all imagined by the mind of a non-verbal young boy. Thereâs a lot to unpack: is it simply making a statement on the show as a fictional world? Is it positing that the hopes and the fears and the suffering we endure in our lives are being watched by a deity who is interested and all-knowing but who can only gaze in at us and never interfere in our tribulationsâwhere in all the world but an under-resourced hospital in the planetâs richest nation could the question of such a beingâs love or cruelty be more pressing?
Just adding something else: that ending with the snow globe was definitely a Pratchett idea. He did something incredibly similar with the creation of Roundworld. So it is not at all a surprise that that snow globe might exist within "Narrativia".
GO hot take apparently
Imagine finding out you have 90 minutes to tie up a love story that's developed over thousands of years. You create something beautifully in character and completely on point for the plot. You pay homage to the original writer's legacy in a fitting and poetic way and create an ending that not only shows the depth of two people's love for each other but the wider love they have for the thing that brought them together in the first place.
And then you go online to find the loudest outcry is that everyone hates it and "THEY DIDN'T EVEN KISS!"
I feel sorry for people who didn't get anything out of that stunning finale.
4 DAYS!
Happy Mother's Day to these two
Just found out about the coltland twins.
Day: ruined
Im glad they made up romance for stories and music but can you imagine how scary it would be to deal with all that for real
You know whatâs one human thing Rocky would like??
Doctor who. Heâd love the doctor omg
No one:
That one gay friend that you try to ignore: Iâm seeing Project Hail Mary in IMAX again!
ThinkingâŠthoughts
what kind of soulmate crack cocaine was everyone snorting in that set when they made this film i'm being serious
This is my favorite time in the fandom. Everyone's theorizing, analyzing and communicating. So many posts edits and most importantly - hope. Even though the finale is approaching, I'm incredibly happy to be here and have the opportunity to watch it with everyone else.
rotating aroace ryland grace in my mind. anyone else notice how he only leaves karaoke night to go find the only other person not partying after he sees dubois shooting his shot. anyone else notice how he said he said he prefers walls in his relationships when talking to rocky. anyone else notice that he's void of any meaningful romantic or even familial relationship ("you don't even have a dog" comes to mind) but still so full of love for his students, for the world, and later for his best friend? he didn't save the earth because he chose to, he wasn't brave enough for that, but he did save erid through his love for his friend. not our world, but a world, and that was enough, and it was beautiful.
Printing this on a cake for when my friends come over to watch the finale (90 minutes btw) đ«Ą
My fyp gathering
I see so many posts like âimagine being adrian andâ and i havenât seen ONE PERSON SAY imagine youâre adrian and your husband goes on a mission to save the world and comes back 50ish earth years later with an alien and they saved the world. Your husband tells you all about this planet they went to that had the microorganisms needed to save the world. And your husband named it after you. Oh my god thatâs- oh. Oh you named it after what the alien called me? Ok. I guess. Still sweet, i wasnât involved and you werenât sure you were ever gonna see me again so i guess- the fuck do you mean THE ALIEN NAMED IT AFTER ME. IT WASNâT EVEN YOUR IDEA? YOU WANTED TO GO WITH MEDIUM ROUGH TEXTURE CIRCLE PLANET??? THE ALIEN WAS THE ONE WHO THOUGHT OF NAMING IT AFTER ME?????
"the most unrealistic thing about project hail mary is that a woman is in charge" WRONG look up the glass cliff. women are much more likely to be promoted to positions of power when things are going poorly and people need a woman to blame. she refers to herself as the "world's whipping boy." the person put in the position to have to commit ecological and humanitarian crimes of that scale in order to save the earth would only ever be a woman.
