Super Fun Time

A place to share the giggles.

Neil Gaiman: I was rather surprised in this magical CGI world, we’re now in, in which everything is sort of created in computers when I heard from Douglas that they have figured out how to do the Crowley driving the burning Bentley shots in that they’re going to do it by having Crowley driving a burning Bentley, and it will be on fire while he’s driving it. And it’s like… okayyy, that’s going to be interesting.

Rob Wilkins: Being a practical man I immediately think of things like insurance and not killing actors and things like that, but Douglas is convinced that he can do it without… killing anyone and uhm…

Neil Gaiman: I don’t know that he’s convinced, but he’s hopeful.

Rob Wilkins: But he’s hopeful - that’s admirable - in any director.

Neil Gaiman: And if we lose David Tennant driving a burning Bentley… what a way to go.

Underrated part of womanhood is realizing you’re just like. allowed to go outside looking like shit

This just fucked me up. How have I never realized this?

You know what Good Omens does NOT get enough credit for? How it never, not once, makes gender presentation the butt of a joke.

Crowley presenting as female to be Warlock’s Nanny? The way this was filmed, acted, and written wasn’t made to be funny whatsoever. She was stunning, I loved the hat!

Pollution using they/them pronouns while the postman used the gender neutral honorific of sir for them? What’s there to make fun of? They’re royalty.

Archangel Michael, who has a traditionally male name, played by a female actress? Never questioned.

Lord Beelzebub’s androgyny? Only respect for the Lord of Hell.

Aziraphale sharing Madame Tracy’s body? Crowley recognized his angel and accepted it no problem. He was right about the dress too, it did suit him!

Crowley’s pure, unfiltered non-binary/gender-fluid energy in general? Fucking fabulous. Who could seriously make fun of this demon’s style? As someone once pointed out to me, you could swap him with Tilda Swinton and I’d see no difference. What an icon.

Good Omens is the first big show I’ve seen to basically avoid transphobia all together when the opportunity presented itself, and even say fuck you to the gender binary as a bonus. If the biggest binary in all the universe, Heaven and Hell, don’t give a damn about it then why should you?

Thank you! That was definitely what we were going for. I’m not certain we always achieved it – or at least, people didn’t always seem to see that was what we were doing. (It made me sad when a few people on Twitter reacted to Crowley-as-nanny as if it was meant to be a transphobic man-in-a-dress joke.)

For our angels and demons, it was intensely liberating having male and female actors auditioning for the same roles, and just picking the ones who we felt nailed the characters best.

Also, can I just hear a wahoo for the wonderful Archangel Uriel, Gloria Obianyo?

aziraphale crashed a fake seance hosted by a part time prostitute and took the time, despite it being just hours before the end of the world, to let the spirit of a disgruntled husband theatrically tell off his overly talkative wife & for what? the Drama

My husband and I cut the cake at my baby gender reveal party and the m&m’s are purple. “It’s a human incarnate!” we shout in unison. Sister Mary Loquacious is sobbing. Beelzebub and Gabriel storm out. Freddie Mercury is there,

what Aziraphale said: You go too fast for me, Crowley.

what Crowley heard: I am aware of the fact you feel strongly about me, including various platonic and romantic forms of affection, but after six thousands I still don’t feel ready to pursue that relationship; Please wait a little longer.

what Aziraphale meant: yOU GO 110 MILES PER HOUR IN CENTRAL LONDON YOU ABSOLUTE RUBBER DUCK

[theskystealerthebookthief]

This is an hilarious take. I like it.

[infinite-mirrors]

while I wholeheartedly agree that Crowley and Aziraphale are both moron4moron, I couldn’t stop thinking about this.

That. That is the entire high literature summed up. You just broke all man-written novels

[tafadhali]

“One explanation for Guenever, for what it is worth, is that she was what they used to call a ‘real’ person. She was not the kind who can be fitted away safely under some label or other, as ‘loyal’ or 'disloyal’ or 'self-sacrificing’ or 'jealous’. Sometimes she was loyal and sometimes she was disloyal. She behaved like herself. And there must have been something in this self, some sincerity of heart, or she would not have held two people like Arthur and Lancelot. Like likes like, they say – and at least they are certain that her men were generous. She must have been generous too. It is difficult to write about a real person.”
