Pepper and Dog - are they in R.P. Tyler’s garden while he’s doing a patrol of Tadfield again? Maybe so…

I’ve decided to dive back into my expressions of GO show fan-ish-ness (not even a word, and I don’t care) and start working again on my Good Omens-inspired dolls. So this is my first doll of the Them!

I’ve also got GO fanfic dolls I adore, like little Ezra and Tony from @demonicputto ‘s By My Side series; they need more attention and love.

And my semi-related Little Omens dolls: Anathema, Hastur, Ligur, and others who will inevitably come along as I get inspired.

This is the result of a lot of soul-searching and agonizing after the allegations came out — you know the ones I mean. I’ve decided that one man’s bad behavior can’t be allowed to override my love of something that so many other people built. I refuse to give him that kind of hold on my life — I love these characters and the stories we were given, both canon and fanon, and I won’t let him taint that love.

So: Pepper. And Dog. And their refusal to back down in the face of human-made evils like the Horsemen. These are the things I’m building on, as I show my own love to Good Omens and the other people who made it so wonderful, including so many of you.

hi, random question, how tall were the actors who played the them when they were filming season one of good omens? Love ya!

Hiya! :) 🤔

(very questionable measuring, mathematics and conclusion ahead :D)

Aziraphale / Michael Sheen: 1118px

Wensleydale / Alfie Taylor: 773px

Pepper / Amma Ris: 833px

Adam / Sam Taylor Buck: 878px

Brian / Ilan Galkoff: 974px

Michael Sheen is 178cm, so:

Wensleydale / Alfie Taylor: (178/1118)*773 = 123cm

Pepper / Amma Ris: (178/1118)*833px = 133cm

Adam / Sam Taylor Buck: (178/1118)*878p = 139cm

Brian / Ilan Galkoff: (178/1118)*974px = 155cm

(don't take it much seriously :D)

Per my post about representation, I thought I’d make this gifset to show some love for our wonderful and talented poc actors!

Representation matters!

And when I say representation, I mean nice and accurate good and non-stereotypical representation. That’s why these roles and the actors in them are important.

Edit: (Clarification: this is more to highlight these actors and their talent because they have to live in the shadow of Michael Sheen and David Tennant, but they are just as deserving to be recognized. The representation is by no means the best, but it is a start and if we can highlight these faces and voices we are making steps towards true and proper representation. As someone who grew up with horrific depictions of Natives on screen and is working in an industry that often doesn’t support me, I understand that the little victories matter.)

Let’s Talk About Pepper

The character in Good Omens, not the spice.  (Even though she is salty af, and I LOVE her for it.)

So, you notice she’s kind of set up, at first, as the straw feminist?  Or the annoying tree hugger, or something like that?  Well.  In episode 5 (The Doomsday Option), when Adam goes full-on Antichrist on the Them, who’s the one who really gives him a verbal lashing and jumpstarts his return to humanity?  Pepper, that’s who.  None other than Ms. Pippin Galadriel Moonchild - aka my queen.

In fact, Brian and Wensley look to Pepper to decide what to do.  They wait until she says “Goodbye, Adam” and walks away before they take their leave.  Without Adam, the literal Antichrist, the other members of the Them follow Pepper’s lead.  She’s the de facto second-in-command, the moral compass.  In fact, she’s the true force for peace among the group, illustrated when she steps up in the last episode to take on War.

When Adam is still in full-on Antichrist mode, he starts to crack once the Them turn their backs on him.  He really starts to crack, even begins to cry, once he loses Dog.  Pepper sees this, and jams her boot into the gap in the door to Adam’s human emotions and kicks it wide open with this epic line:

Pepper says no, I won’t sit here and listen to your bullshit, and Brian and Wensley, again, follow her lead.

This girl stood up to the Antichrist.  But, she did something else that, in my opinion, is much harder:  she stood up to her best friend.  There are adults who, every day, blindly side with their friends even when they’re doing terrible things. *cough* Republicans *cough*  Pepper could have done the easy thing and gone along with Adam, and let Brian and Wensley do the same, but she didn’t.  She did what was right.

Pepper, you are my queen.  Never stop.

Goda Omen [Tv Mini-Serien, 2019] (Kap: ”The Very Last Day of the Rest of Their Lives”).

En tittapåtvcirkel tillsammans med @kulturdasset​​, delmål 6:6.

Originaltitel: Good Omens [Tv Mini-Serien, 2019].

Story: Terry Pratchett och Neil Gaiman (@neil-gaiman). Manus: Neil Gaiman (@neil-gaiman). Regi: Douglas Mackinnon. Boken publicerad: 1990 (på svenska 2000). Medium: TV/Stream (2019).

¡Oi! Spoilers, stavfel och alternativa fakta kan förekomma rakt föröver!

Så knyts säcken ihop, på ett liknande sätt som i boken. Om än att ”epilogen” känns utökad.

Det hela avlöper ungefär som jag minns det i boken, även om jag inte minns specifikt att Adams pappa på den satanistiska familjegrenen visar sig… Men jag tycker också det där med ”en riktig pappa väntar inte 11 år innan han visar sig”-talet som Adam ger honom känns bekant. Det är en riktigt bra scen, vilket som. Jag tycker också man lyckas bra med att behålla Adams okomplicerade sätt att se på världen, hur självklart somligt är för honom.

Roligast i hela upplösningen på flygbasen måste vara när Aziraphale skall svara på frågan om vad som pågår ”här”:

A: Uh...OK, so, uh... In the beginning, in the Garden, there was... Well, he was a wily old serpent, and I was technically on apple-tree duty…

Snacka om att verkligen ta det från början. :lol: Även om ordväxlingen mellan Gabriel och Belzebub inte går av för hackor den heller:

G: Um... I'm going to need to talk to, um, Head Office. How I am supposed to get 10 million angels to stand down from their war footing is… It doesn't bear thinking about.

B: You should try to get 10 million demons to put down their weapons and go back to work.

Det är uppenbarligen inte bara Aziraphale och Crowley som fått drag av motståndarsidan… De är i sanning två sidor på samma mynt spelkort.

Jag gillar också att man sparade den sista snutten av upplösningen på flygbasen till det här avsnittet. Hade man haft hela den här uppgörelsen med förra avsnittet hade det tagit energin ur det här avsnittet.

En av styrkorna i mini-serien har hela tiden varit ”bakom kulisserna”-scenerna som lagts till. Epilogen är inget undantag. Jag har inget minne av att Aziraphale och Crowley straffas i boken, eller att bägge överlever sina dödsdomar för att man bytte kroppar med varandra. Det var rätt uppenbart att så hade skett, och jag är glad att man lät Aziraphale och Crowley känna varandra så bra att de inte lät ”sig själva” skina igenom förrän då dödsdomen verkställs.

Men som Crowley säger: det är med all säkerhet bara en tillfällig respit. Ett tag under epilogen kändes det som att man byggde upp mot en uppföljare, även om Anatema och Newt får de nya profetiorna i boken med. Men det byggs upp annorlunda här. Men man verkar inte trycka på den punkten, men så klart: det är inte omöjligt heller. Även om väldigt lite sagts på den punkten, och även om jag gärna hoppar på tåget så känns det inte så nödvändigt heller kanske. (Därmed inte sagt att jag inte skulle vilja se en prequel om Agnes Nutter :hint: :hint:).
