It's Springtime!

That means it's time for a Valor and Kogi update!

The pups grew quite a bit over winter. They have emerged from the den taller and leaner, their pupils are settling into the slitted-cat eye shape, and their hair has grown longer! (in Kogi's case anyway) And now they are ready to cause trouble! Again!

Of course, all this growing meant there were some growing pains that came with it. Especially in their legs. They kicked the heck out of their parents while they slept, allllllll winter long.

Side note: This is the now height they will be when they reach one year old!

3 (or, Three Shadows?)

My hypothesis about The Pattern in the photo clues:

1 - (1862) Aziraphale puts on an act, and hurts Crowley to protect him.

2 - (Uz, 2500BC) Aziraphale and Crowley BOTH put on an act, to protect innocents.

3 - (Elevator,S3) Aziraphale and Crowley find unexpected help, ALL THREE put on an act, to Save the Earth.

That shadow on the doors? Lots of maybe's. Maybe it's a person. Lots of possibilities about who it is. One of Our Ineffables? Jesus? Maybe (like I saw several people post already) it's one person and the fainter shadows on either side are their wings. Azi or Crowley in full glory...?!! That one gets my heart racing! But another possibility occurred to me, another Maybe...

Maybe, instead of one person with wings, IT'S THREE FIGURES. One in the Center Front, noticably reflected/shadowed. Two standing slightly behind, side by side. Reflected more faintly. A TRIO.

The Metatron called it THE SECOND COMING... and Jesus is an old friend of Crowley's after all... Crowley showed this carpenter's son the World. Their encounter was meaningful enough that Crowley changed his name afterwards.

Maybe it's Jesus, but with Our Ineffables standing supportively with him.

It would mirror this quite a bit, wouldn't it?

Good Omens likes repeated themes, mirrors, patterns. And, from what meager amount I know of Terry Pratchett (I've got a LOT of reading to catch up on!), he preferred flawed and ordinary heroes who use their wits and integrity in the fight against superior enemies and injustice.

In S1, it wasn't Our Ineffables who stopped Armageddon. But they were critical players, knights on a chessboard supporting the key figure, essential to helping Humanity WIN.

I think our Clue is that they team up with Jesus, like they teamed up with Adam. It might even have been... foretold...

I don't think Sir Terry (whose plans for Our Ineffables are said to be the basis for S3) would take away the inspiration of our everyday-heroes, flawed and lovable as they are, to suddenly make them powerful enough to conquer heaven alone. They were afraid of Gabriel in S2, from his previous uses of power and authority. His SMITING. And other Archangels like Michael and Uriel, and Sandalphon (whatever level of psycho-Being he actually is!) are still up there, even if Saraquel turns out to be a secret ally.

The Metatron alone is far more powerful than the former Prince of Heaven. Both Aziraphale and Crowley, each in their own way, showed anxiety, fear, and frustration as they watched the Metatron (in E6) manipulate the scene with unchecked authority. They can't match him.

I believe they scrambled for a plan, yes, but they will only be armed with their cleverness and their Ineffable Devotion to each other and to Humanity.

And that fits the type of hero Sir Terry Pratchett typically wrote about. I do love the idea of one of them (or both!) being set free from some memory wipe, status loss, etc, to become a Magnificently Powerful Hero. But I don't think those are the kind of heroes Good Omens wants to give us, glorious as that would be. We can't truly be inspired by a Superhero's power -- only by their heart.

Now, don't get me wrong! I absolutely expect we'll see heart-rending heroics from both Aziraphale and Crowley by the end of those dramatic 90 minutes! They'll break into the records, or use wit and reason to expose a fatal weakness, or courageously confront a powerful opponent, or risk anything and everything to save each other and the World...

THEY WILL BE HEROES...!!!!

(and I will raze heaven and earth myself if they don't get that South Downs Cottage!!!)

The First Armageddon was won by a gang of kids, a rag-tag quartet of bonded humans, Our Ineffables, and an AntiChrist, the Son of Satan.

Armageddon 2.0 will be another mirror. We see a host of players in the Intro credit sequence to S2. Bonded humans, angels and former angels, bonded pairs, Our Ineffables, and... the Christ, the Son of God. (second photo)

(There's Saraquel and Beez, btw. Gabriel and his box are in line too! Muriel is in photo 2! And more...!)

*****

Our Ineffables are the keystones. The Catalyst. Some hocus pocus and a whole lot of Cleverness and Courage, they lead the march on heaven. A loving, devoted, eternal Us.

But it's by being part of an even bigger Team, a Group, an Us that they'll succeed.

And they'll inspire us all...!

To Our World! 🥂✨
