I know we already saw Crowley and Aziraphale in the first decade of the 1600s but it's bonfire night and I'm in the mood. Crowley and Aziraphale getting all wrapped up in the Gunpowder plot has so much potential.

Azirpahle is all in a tiz about the radical Catholics' actions and then finds out that Heaven doesn't really care what they're doing. (a mirror to the Job minisode)

Crowley is probably pretty into blowing up Parliament but also not so keen on the thought of Henry being in attendance or the plan to kidnap Elizabeth because Crowley's got a thing about looking after the kids.

Azirpahle is trying to stop the assassination attempt on King James I only for Francis Tresham to go ahead and ruin the plot anyway before Azirphale can even do anything.

Bonus points if we then see them 35 years later during the Civil War. I think it would be very in character for Crowley to refuse to pick a side. Sure he probably likes the idea of a permanent way more than a monarchy but the whole Puritan 'not allowed any fun' regime isn't his cup of tea.

We all know that Crowley would be pretty pissed at Cromwell for banning all the fun stuff but he's a demon so he just does them all anyway. Then Azirphale is in a huff that he's not allowed to go to the theatre. (especially after seeing them around the globe at the start of the century)

Controversial twist of the 'Mr Brown has a crush on Aziraphale' fanon. Unhinged theory: Mr Brown actually has a thing for the tall red-haired goth always malingering around the bookshop.

He gets Aziraphale to host because Crowley is always at the bookshop. And to get a sort of 'vibe check' to see what's up between Aziraphale and Crowley so he knows if he's got a chance.

He wears the turtle neck, not to seem more like Crowley but to try and relate to Crowley.

Mr. Bown confronts the demons after Crowley's 'I won't leave you on your own' bit. Not to try and one-up Crowley in front of Aziraphale but to Impress Crowley instead.

There is no universe where you can convince me that Mr.Brown is not in love with Aziraphale.

Brown sits across from Aziraphale as soon as he sees him alone in the pub, and gets shooed away by a smug Crowley dressed like this.

Then he decides to go to a Meeting/Ball where almost everyone has a date, alone. And when his new outfit is revealed it is this:

Including the little hair swoosh! And the matching tartan vest. Upturned lapels on the jacket! People, he's wearing a turtleneck and a tartan vest. I think we need to find this man somebody to love before it's too late.

I don't know if it would add any narrative value but imagine getting to see Azirphale's bookshop before it opens. Imagine him excitedly dragging Crowley around and showing him where he's going to put everything. On opening day we get to see Azirphale welcoming Crowley in. Probably only Crowley. They sit and drink wine and joke about never letting anyone buy Aziraphales books.

An angel comes around to inspect the new 'embassy' and a comical farce ensues of Crowley sneaking around and trying not to get caught while Aziraphale nervously shows the angel around the 'embassy' and has to ramble on about books and human things and why he has them to 'keep up appearances'

Still working on getting back into markers again. Still can't draw anything but Good Omens.

[smoreobscurelore]

Haven't touched alcohol markers in a while and it shows Bildad looks rough AF. I'm still on my good omens BS.

[smoreobscurelore]

Being pan gives me the absolute privilege of being attracted to Michael Sheen, Vico Ortiz, and Georgia Tennant all at once. What a time to be alive and be a weird little queer.

[smoreobscurelore]

Crowley calls Aziraphale Angelito all the time In the Spanish (España español) Dub of good omens.

I'm obsessed with the West Yorkshire Spinners sparkle collection for Christmas. I can't wait to finish these socks!

[smoreobscurelore]

From Heaven's perspective Aziraphale:

Stopped Armageddon.

Has gotten a demon to do his bidding.

Magically gotten a body out of nowhere. (They know they certainly didn't give him a new one)

Is immune to hellfire.

He told them that he performed an 'archangel level miracle' just for funsies to help Maggie's love life. (they might suspect that he did it with Crowley)

Managed to hide Gabriel despite Heaven AND Hell both looking for him. (with three high level angels in the book shop at the same time)

Single handily took care of the demons invading the book shop. (there's no way they'd think the humans could have helped)

Kind of adverted the war that he started (with his halo) by having everyone talk it out.

[smoreobscurelore]

Choosing seed stitch for these socks has been a terrible idea but I'm too far into them to turn back now. I am choosing the single most boring vanilla pattern I can for the next socks.

[smoreobscurelore]

I can't explain why but the 'With your curly little… and your neat white…' is my favourite part of the whole show so far. And that's saying something seen as I'm incredibly gay and touch starved.

[smoreobscurelore]

Crowley is like sentient oobleck. The second Beelzebub moves he just melts into the open space.

Fan theory: David Tennant is a non Newtonian fluid

[smoreobscurelore]

I demand Muriel using Jim's mug in season three with the 'JI' crossed out in Sharpie.

That is all.

[smoreobscurelore]

With the utmost respect and affection in the world. I HATE whoever manages the Good Omens prime social media accounts.

As a 20-something Gen Z, I greatly apprecciate the vibes.

[smoreobscurelore]

Don't watch Staged while you're rehearsing for Hamlet because you'll get a weird stress dream where Michael Sheen is standing off right, holding the script book and trying to be really nice about how terrible your monologue is.
