Thank you for everything!

WAHOO!!!
I absolutely adore you artworks! I can't wait to buy somes prints!
Love from New-Caledonia~ ❤️
We are ineffably elated to confirm that Good Omens will return for a third season! This calls for a round of hot chocolate and sweet treats!
@neil-gaiman
The chorus of Wahoos is deafening and delightful.
Neil! You said you were walking YOUR DOG. I still feel cheated you didn’t brought YOUR DOG to tumblr yet! We want to meet YOUR DOG. DOG DOG DOG
(I bet it’s a really good dog)
He is the best dog. But he is a bit big.
He is the one on the left.
OMG What a big boyyyy!! (Yes, the one of the left).
Would you bless us with knowing his name ?
Hello Mr. Gaiman, while I bet this question has been asked before, who came up with Crowley’s walk in the show? Did you or the writers suggest that, or was it all David Tennant?
It was the writers of Season 1. Nothing to do with me or David Tennant. It was all the writers.
Oh darn it! I don't see it in my notes. Who were the writers of Season 1?
I do believe Neil was the only writer on Season One….
Not any more. From now on I plan to blame anything people complain about in GO Season 1 on the writers.
I'm still not over the both of them being seperated now.
Sorrows...SORROWS !
He didn't wanna be alone...HE DIDN'T WANNA BE ALONE! 😭
We could argue he is surrounded by people with all those timelines, and since he protects them all he gets to interact with each..in his own way, so is he really alone ?
He still doesn't get to feel the warmth, love and comfort from a unique and personal connexion. All he did with each of his friends, and the troubles, memories they all shared. They remember him, he remembers them, but this is all. They never get to have more now ??
Maybe he is okay with a broad connexion to everything instead of a personal one but...this situation still looks devastingly sad.
(or...could he like...still meet with people in the same way he time slipped ??? Only if a Loki is around them and he "takes over" that Loki's body in time ? Damn that's cruel)
Dear #SagAftraMembers:
We are thrilled & proud to tell you that today your TV/Theatrical Negotiating Committee voted unanimously to approve a tentative agreement with the AMPTP. As of 12:01 a.m. PT on Nov. 9, our strike is officially suspended & all picket locations are closed. We will be in touch in the coming days with information about celebration gatherings around the country.
In a contract valued at over one billion dollars, we have achieved a deal of extraordinary scope that includes "above-pattern" minimum compensation increases, unprecedented provisions for consent and compensation that will protect members from the threat of AI, and for the first time establishes a streaming participation bonus. Our Pension & Health caps have been substantially raised, which will bring much needed value to our plans. In addition, the deal includes numerous improvements for multiple categories including outsize compensation increases for background performers, and critical contract provisions protecting diverse communities.
We have arrived at a contract that will enable SAG-AFTRA members from every category to build sustainable careers. Many thousands of performers now and into the future will benefit from this work. Full details of the agreement will not be provided until the tentative agreement is reviewed by the SAG-AFTRA National Board.
We also thank our union siblings — the workers that power this industry — for the sacrifices they have made while supporting our strike and that of the Writers Guild of America. We stand together in solidarity and will be there for you when you need us.
Thank you all for your dedication, your commitment, your solidarity throughout this strike. It is because of you that these improvements became possible.
Absolutely no context for this, idk they’re probably going through their 346th Armageddon. But fear not, for bamf Aziraphale seems to have arrived 👀✨☄️
Imagine Nina and Maggie trying to cheer Crowley up and Maggie (a non drinker and definitely not into the bar/club/pub scene) just blurring out 'we should have a Girls Night Out!" And then been embarrassed about it because she made assumptions about Crowley gay man expression? (Crowley, not a man or gay) but then the night comes and Crowley shows up on full femme outfit, very dark and sexy, she/her, and Nina and Maggie were definitely not expecting this. And Crowley goes "You said it was Girls night out?"
I'm drawing this at some point, I swear! This is just too good!
wip wip wip ! Didn’t have time to work on it this week, but got finally some time this evening ! That won’t be the only shot, but that was the longest part to animate. So impatient to colour and finish iiit
Can't wait to see this finished! It's amazing!
“Well ?”
hi niel. i have a very important question:
if you were being attacked by an infinite number of chickens, how many do you think you could kill before the chickens overcame you?
Couldn't I just climb a tree? Or get in a car and drive away? I bet I could finish out my lifetime before the chickens caught up with me.
This is INFINITE chickens, Neil. Chickens have taken over every space. Unending chickens. And they're angry at you, Neil. We ask again! How many chickens could you fight off before those descendants of the dinosaur defeat you and rule the Earth once again?
Infinite chickens? Nothing but chickens? No cars, no roads no houses? And the sea has obviously gone too because I'd otherwise suggest just heading out in a boat, as chickens can't swim. But without the seas I land or water I'm going to die of starvation and thirst pretty soon anyway.
Where are the infinite chickens coming from? The earth can only hold a finite number chickens after all.
THEY ARE INFINITE CHICKENS. ITS FANTASY.
Okay. How deep is the earth covered in the infinite chickens then? How many miles up does the chickening of the Earth gog? I would be killed immediately under the weight of infinite Chickens or even under the weight of millions of chickens, obviously. Do they reach the sun? Have they put out the sun? Is the universe, then nothing but infinite chickens, able to function in the airless cold and vacuum of outer space because this is a fantasy?
Let's say instead of infinite chickens it is a number of chickens which is practically indistinguishable from an infinitely self-renewing supply of chickens. Existing infrastructure does not get replaced by chickens. However, no one except you exists any longer, as they have all become chickens. What is your strategy, and how long can you survive the chickpocalypse? Also these chickens are capable of swimming, so as to maintain the initial conceit of the question, that being that the chickens are not meaningfully escapable.
I'm not seeing the word "barehanded" anywhere in the original question or in any of the follow-up questions, so I assume I am allowed a weapon.
And that I need to view these chickens as a self-sustaining poultry apocalypse.
Assuming that the chickens have replaced humans, then my weapon of choice were a 100 megaton Atomic Bomb, and that I could explode it over a city populated entirely by Chickens, I firmly believe I could immediately kill about 13 million chickens, and that radiation sickness would account for the death of a few million more chickens.
So about 16 million if the birds have replaced us.
I say become one with the chickens Sir Gaiman. Become. One. With. The Chickens~
Random Good Omens, Crowley, nebula... thoughts!
We know Crowley created a nebula, and was quite upset at the idea that his beauty would serve only as a "wallpaper" for humankind.
So I wonder if magazines, scientific studies about stars, planets etc...is like reading fanfictions for Crowley ? A show of appreciation, fasination mostly from human for his work, unknown to human of course. I know he didn't create the whole stars system buttt still.
I can imagine him grumbling about every inacuracies, but also I would imagine he would be happy. Happy, maybe, that there are such magazines or studies about stars systems and planets he didn't think humans would ever be gazing upon but found a way to eventually.
Angels, Demons, and the Presence of God
A Good Omens Analysis done by an atheist who's kinda invested in Christianity. Avaunt if it might make you uncomfortable.
Themes, through lines, and tendencies - Part 1
Parts: 1, 2, 3.1, 3.2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
God introduces us to the story, she tells us what's wrong and what's correct.
We're compelled to believe her, she's God, after all, she knows everything.
But why is she here? Why is she telling us this story? Simple. It's just a game for her.
So, if we trust God from the start, then her response to everything must be correct, and yet, after Adam and Eve are expelled from Heaven, it's hard not to agree with Crawley here.
"I can't see what's so bad about knowing the difference between the Good and the Evil," says the demon, the one who had just been the snake who brought Adam and Eve to their damnation. And yeah, we, as humans, can hardly imagine life without that knowledge. What would it be? Just living in the garden forever, like ants in an ant farm? No free will, no desire, no fear either. Being a shell. Even animals know and have those things.
So, of course, by placing the tree of knowledge right there, in the garden, not "on the Moon", God set humanity up. It was just a matter of time, an experiment, if you will.
And nobody but God knows what the plan is.
On Aziraphale, Protection, and the Greater Good
Alright folks. I’ve already written quite a bit about the ways the Metatron was trying to manipulate Aziraphale here, but I wanted to give credit where credit is due and talk a little bit about how I don’t think that necessarily means it worked nearly as well as the Metatron thinks it does.
Because Aziraphale? Is not stupid. It’s one of his defining traits that though he might occasionally be slow, he has always been intelligent. He has also always been a fighter. And a bit stubborn. And though the fact he is allowed to be all that and still stay soft is one of my favorite things about him, that does not mean he is soft and soft alone.
With or without Crowley, Aziraphale has nearly always been a character who, above all else, does what’s right. This is part of what Crowley loves about him and it’s part about what we as the audience love about him too. He shelters a demon on the wall he is meant to be guarding. He gives away a sword to humans and lies to God about it directly to Her face. He struggles immensely with being asked to do anything he cannot reconcile with his morals and, even if he might fight against his impulses as to what’s right for a little bit, when push comes to shove he almost always falls on the right side of that scale. It’s important especially that this is also true of him even without Crowley in the equation.
Now, Crowley makes it much easier for him to be this person. He encourages and enables Aziraphale to be himself. He complicates and challenges Aziraphale’s worldview but in a healthy way that helps him grow and develop it, but never forces Az to be someone he isn’t. He also, most importantly, gives Aziraphale someone he understands. He is a connection. And a connection that allows Aziraphale to take his time and to make the excuses he needs to, at least for a little while. Because he understands that while Aziraphale is slow to change, he is not as resistant to it as he often reads to be - especially when he thinks that change can benefit the greater good.
Because Aziraphale fundamentally loves Earth and the people on it. And he knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that Crowley does too. Not taking an opportunity he has to help someone has never sat well with him - even if that person is a naked Gabriel showing up on his doorstep. He does not run away with Crowley in season 1 because it would have been wrong to run away when he felt he could help and the same principle applies here too with the decision he comes to about the Metatron’s offer.
While I definitely think the Metatron was using lovebombing and other manipulation techniques on Aziraphale I highly suspect he is underestimating his new Supreme Archangel. And I highly suspect that what is happening here is not Aziraphale folding back into this own cult as much as much a few other things that could be happening.
I may poke around at a few more of these later but for now I want to focus on Aziraphale lied theory laid out here by @las-lus. This whole season has focused quite a bit on Aziraphale lying/using sleight of hand for Crowley's sake. It makes sense he would do this too to protect him from the Metatron and critically I don’t think it’s an accident that the only shot we get of his conversation with the Metatron are flashbacks from Aziraphale's narrative point of view. Reading this actually changed the whole trajectory of this meta so please take a look at it if you've got the chance! I really love this theory a lot and would've slapped this all on a reblog if it wasn't so big. (Though I'll be the first to admit I'm biased to anything that lets Aziraphale do some rescuing.)
At it's core this makes this action a protective one. He is a guardian given a flaming sword by God. He was built to protect. And we see him in this role throughout the series even if it's not always in the way we expect or in the way he was necessarily built for.
I want to start before the beginning. This scene is an important one for a lot of reasons, but for the context of this the important bit is that Aziraphale is already anxious. He’s a bit starstruck and a little baffled by the strange angel he’s stumbled into chatting with, but his primary focus in the meat of this scene is actually concern for this stranger's welfare. The instant the topic turns critical he immediately starts glancing around anxiously. This scene ends with him saying, "I'd hate to see you getting into any trouble." and giving us one of the most worried expressions I've ever seen on his face.
Then again at Eden, the first time we meet Aziraphale, we are shown him acting twice in a row for the sake of keeping others safe. We see him offer Crowley shelter from the storm and also give away his God given weapon to protect Adam and Eve. A lot of people tie Crowley to Eden for obvious reason but I think people often forget that, yes, without Crowley humans don't leave Eden but without Aziraphale they do not survive it.
We then see him in conflict over the Flood. As far as we know he doesn't act here but he quite clearly thinks it is wrong. He's high strung and tense and his attempts to rebuke Crowley's frustration feels more like him trying to convince himself.
Now we get to Job. This minisode is so fascinating to me for a lot of reasons because through most of it, against pattern, we have Aziraphale as the driving force throughout it. First we get Aziraphale checking in with Heaven to make sure there wasn't some official solution to this. (We also get a line in there that I think says a lot about Aziraphale's priorities when he specifically draws attention to his concerns for Sitis being old enough birth that many times would be hard and risky.) Once Heaven fails him here Aziraphale is the one to reach out to Crowley and Aziraphale is the one to press for them to work together. He takes a gamble, hoping that his instinct that Crowley does not want to hurt kids is accurate, and gets up in Crowley's face to challenge him when Crowley refuses to prove him right. It is not Crowley taking the lead here, bringing Aziraphale in but rather Aziraphale trusting his owns instincts are right.
Aziraphale is also crucially the one constructing the charade Crowley plays in front of the angels as Bildad the cobbler/midwife. Aziraphale immediately and without hesitation provides Crowley with the pieces he needs to make the lie convincing enough. He tells him that what they need is an expert on human births and Crowley rolls with it and then clarifies very quickly that Gabriel witnessed Eve's birth, signaling to Crowley that mimicking that would be the play.
He is trying to tip the scales to get the outcome he wants - to keep this family safe - before he ever utters a lie. And then he does. He lies directly, giving his word as an angel. This is an act that eats him alive inside. He literally thinks he has fallen for this and has perfectly resigned himself as being damned to Hell for it and does it anyway. Because he knows it was right. Because he thinks a family of five he has no real connection to are worth falling to protect.
By the time we hit the Globe in 1601 Aziraphale's primary objection to their Arrangement has evolved from concern about what Head Office will think into concern specifically for Crowley's safety.
Then in 1827, even if it's in a misguided way, his concern starts out on Elspeth and her soul. He tries to protect her and very quickly changes his tune as soon as he's given proper evidence that what she was doing was net good. Again he is the one driving most of this narrative and the duo's actions forward as Crowley drifts along trying to get him to see that some actions aren't fully good or bad but can exist in a moral gray space. We also get him verbalizing his own moral code here explicitly when he wants to heal Morag.
He continues to have concern for Crowley on the forefront of his mind - asking very quickly after his good deed for Elspeth if he's safe or if hell noticed and then a few years later denies Crowley holy water out of concern that it could destroy him.
In 1941 we first get him operating under cover trying to unsuccessfully lie his way into dispatching some Nazi. We then get him offering himself as a magician for Crowley's sake and using sleight of hand to keep evidence of their relationship from making its way to Hell.
In particular I want to draw attention here to the fact the episode we revisit this moment in has two very similar moments toward the beginning and end of it. This episode opens with what the episode is named for - Shax hitching a ride with Aziraphale. He's relatively amicable with her until she at one point implies harm to Crowley wondering out loud why he would risk destruction for Az. Then toward the end when Furfur enters the dressing room, Aziraphale is pleasant and kind until the moment it becomes clear Crowley is being threatened. In both cases his expression turns more neutral and his body language becomes more focused and serious. He is ready to protect at all costs and is done being polite to these people who threaten his demon.
From there we go to 1976. Here as he hears about Crowley's holy water heist, he makes a choice. Even though he does not want Crowley having this weapon at all and tells Crowley as much that that position hasn't changed he realizes how dangerous trying to steal it could be. So he decides to make it as safe as he can in the circumstance, putting aside his own wants and feelings for the sake of minimizing even potential harms.
Even good old 'you go too fast for me' is a form of protection here. Even if it hurts and even if it's not want they want they need at least one of them to pump the breaks to make sure they are not discovered.
Then the world nearly ends. I won't examine what happens there too closely but I think we can all agree Aziraphale was willing to do quite a lot to insure the world and Crowley were safe once Crowley gets him on board with raising Warlock. Though I do want to note I don't think it's an accident that a lot of what Aziraphale says to Crowley at the end of six has echos of the bandstand - the last event Aziraphale has to reference that he knew would make Crowley go away.
A lot of the core of the current season is built around all sorts of protective Aziraphale actions. The flashbacks all gesture at it in some capacity, and anther notable one is him sacrificing books both as weaponry and to make the ball happen. He has committed to securing their safety before a single demon even shows up looking for Gabriel. We also get him willingly risking war to defend the people in his shop. Episode six in particular shows us a lot of Aziraphale in this mode, which he's pretty much locked into from the moment the demons arrive, Whether it's protecting Gabriel, Nina and Maggie, or at one point putting his body between the demons and a whole crowd of people including Crowley.
This season is a season that emphasizes that Aziraphale is a liar. It is one that draws attention to him pulling tricks and on him learning to do that for the greater good. It it about him learning that sometimes the choices we make are often more morally gray than we would like. And most importantly it is about Aziraphale believing this world and the people in it are worth protecting.
And who does he want to keep safe more than anyone? Who did he fight to share his life with? It makes sense to me that he would do this for Crowley. It's perfectly in character and gives Aziraphale the due credit I think a lot of theories lack. Because, to me, Aziraphale isn't the one that walks away from Omelas, Aziraphale is the child who would willfully sacrifice himself to keep the people he loves safe.
