S02E04 The Hitchhiker

We as a fandom don't talk enough about this scene. The way Crowley just casually tells Aziraphale he was worried about him makes me want to cry forever ok

[twilightcitysky]

What we also don’t talk enough about is how Aziraphale approaches the bookshop with a delighted smile on his face, only to have it vanish when Crowley shoves a box of plants at him and rockets out of there like his shoes are on fire.

He wanted you to stay with him, you idiot.

[endearingfascination]

crowley actually saying “you don’t dance” despite the subtitles implies that he does not know about the discreet gentleman’s club is a strange and interesting detail LOL

Aziraphale S3: “I’ve made a huge mistake.”

Desperate measures must be taken.

[okaypippy]

I actually find it enormously comforting that an angel - who is as old as time and space, and who has nearly everything he’s ever wanted can live as a human and still make big ole’ humanly mistakes. It’s almost like being a person is hard or something? 😉

"...and yet you're totally certain that everything would be better if you were just near one particular person."

I recently saw a post there, saying that most likely something happened between these two in between 1941 and 1967, probably right after the church scene... so... I was thinking over about it...

Lemme show you my goofyass neopets You can make Angel/Devil Zafaras so of course I had to

[iprefertheterminsane]

Okay. I don’t think anyone has said it yet, so I guess it’s up to me.

look, I remember when I first heard of the Good Omens fandom, and naturally, Aziraphale’s name, I was struck frozen like, “Wait, I know that name. Israfil, that’s a first. Which is what reluctantly pulled me in

(I’m a Muslim)

See, growing up, we have this nursery rhyme for the 10 most important angels that you have to know, and Israfil’s name was right up there (if you want to know, the other nine are Jibril, Mikail, Mungkar, Nakir, Raqib, Atid,Ridhwan, Malik andIzrail)Christians to mention some of them in movies, I mean, you guys have versions of them too, right? So I’ve naturally heard the mentions of Jibril (Gabriel), Mikail (Michael) and Izrail (Azrael), but I was kind of stuck at the mention of Israfil of all angels, so throughout all 6 episodes  I kept trying to remember what his main purpose was, in the nursery rhyme (you know that thing that you can’t think of something purely due to the reason because you’re looking for it?). As the story progressed I began to recall that he was a pretty big deal for starting Doomsday, but it wasn’t until this scene happened;

This makes his “I think I just started a war” line in the trailer VERY interesting

[neil-gaiman]

hello mr neil gaiman. i was wondering, is there any particular reason why the carina nebula was picked to be the nebula that crowley helped build?

I think he worked on quite a few Nebulae...

[okaypippy]

I feel like this is one of those clues Neil said he has been dropping about S2 over the last few years.

Life imitates arts (or is it the other way around?)

[cam1lla]

“Authors should not be ALLOWED to write about–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

“This book should be taken off of shelves for featuring–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

“Schools shouldn’t teach this book in class because–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

“Nobody actually likes or wants to read classics because they’re–” you are an anti-intellectual and an idiot

“I only read YA fantasy books because every classic novel or work of literary fiction is problematic and features–” you are an anti-intellectual and you are robbing yourself of the full richness of the human experience.

[moonshinemagpie]

"you are functionally a conservative" is such a good and clarifying insult

Literally right after I saw this post, I saw another post in a discord chat for BOOK EDITORS in which an outspokenly liberal editor talked about how Nabokov should have never been published because he wrote about p*dophiles and described women's bodies in ways that made her uncomfortable. She described his writing as "objectively terrible" and said she wanted to burn his books. And other editors were bringing up classics they didn't like and talking about how they wanted to throw them in the trash. This wasn't like a light "unpopular opinion!" conversation. This was actual book editors talking about how books should be destroyed and censored.

There is something so scary and toxic in global culture right now. The revival of fascism is influencing everyone's mindset and approach to art, regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum.

I see far more books being censored today than when I was a kid. Librarians handed me The Catcher in the Rye, The Sexual Politics of Meat, and Animal Farm when I was literally 8-11. My mom would never have taken a book away from me. I read everything from the Tao Te Ching to the Qur'an to atheist texts under my desk at school. Teachers thought nothing of it or encouraged it. Books seemed universally acknowledged as sacrosanct to me.

Now I can't find any adults who don't hesitate or want to make exceptions when it comes to censorship. Even the most liberal social activist librarians I know go, "well except for book X..."

Functionally conservative. It's so important to have the language to express that.

[cam1lla]

Thank you for this addition!

[cricketcat9]

And, following up on the previous post …

“This makes me uncomfortable” is NOT a valid reason for censorship

These fucking book editors should remove themselves from the profession ASAP 😡

[prismatic-bell]

The only reason a book should be removed, the ONLY reason, is “we are keeping it in the restricted section for research because its only intended function is to cause harm.”

And to be clear, when I say this, I’m talking about shit like To Train Up A Child and The Protocols of Zion. One is a text responsible for the deaths of multiple children because it’s an abuse how-to, and the other is entirely fabricated “protocols” from a group that never actually existed but is claimed to represent all Jews, and it’s basically one long antisemitic screed.

And even these should be available. Just. Not where they’re gonna be used to start a white supremacist cult.

[okaypippy]

I think it’s enormously funny that today, I had to remind myself that the world isn’t actually 6,000 years old and the reason for that is Neil Gaiman of all people.
