#gomens brainrot

My brain has chosen to plague me with this imaginary conversation between Aziraphale and Crowley. So I'm passing it on to you.

-----

It's evening. They're seated at the small table in the rear of the bookshop, drinking.

"Crowley? Might I ask you to interpret a phrase I heard earlier?"

"Sure. Wot? Was it in French or something?"

"No. I was out for my morning constitutional in St. James Park. I stopped to feed the ducks, frozen peas of course, darling. When two young ladies, walking hand-in-hand, passed by. One of them said to the other 'when we get home, I'm going to jump your bones'."

*Crowley coughs and sputters, choking on his drink*

"Only, it sounded rather violent, but it was said with such a-affection. I found it quite confusing."

*Crowley, wiping his mouth and finding his composure* "Angel, they were suggesting the two of them get frisky we they got home. Humans... very indirect creatures..."

"Oh... Oh! It was code for 'sexual congress'? Oh, how lovely. I do hope it went well. They were quite handsome together."

Should I be concerned?

Good Omens x The Creation of Adam

[eekonis]

Preservation and Creation in Good Omens

The thing about Good Omens is, that neither Crowley, nor Aziraphale are able to create. They can just fumble around with existing things, shift them, change their state of existence, but never create. Because creation comes from humans. Aziraphale and Crowley can only destroy or preserve what humans have made.

Crowley is deeply in love with creation. He admires it, wants to breathe it and surrounds himself with breathing, living things like his plants. He doesn't save things up for later, lives in the moment and very much enjoys it.

Aziraphale has the complete opposite approach to preservation. He treasures all those books for them to never be read again as long as he's around. The written word itself is a form of death for those stories, but rotting away in a dusty bookshelf? It could as well be a dead butterfly collection he keeps; same vibe.

They're opposing each other very much in their habit of preserving the treasures of humankind in this way.

And their love is the only thing that wasn't there before and is there now, and they created it, they worked for this relationship that they have (or had 💀🤟🏻). If loving itself didn't make them human enough, creating love surely did.

I can be normal about these two canonically queer characters now.

*opens Pinterest*

Oh, dear...I'm totally normal about them.

*opens Tumblr*

Goodness me. Yep, totally normal about their previously forbidden relationship.

*opens AO3*

Hnngk. I'm not okay!

I've got the Good Omens brainrot something fierce. Please help me feed the monster. Drop your favorite fics and arts, please.

Oh the brainrot

Dean of an ivy league college? Using fancy vocabulary? Obviously a Good Omens reference.

hmmmm maybe Tumblr won't eat this post again? 3rd time's the charm (miracle?) what a great excuse to continue avoiding grading lmaooosob

Why do Crowley's sunglasses change in S2?

In all of 2019/S1 he's wearing the perfectly serviceable, rather flashy Valentinos:

And at the beginning of S2, they're clearly the same glasses:

as well as all through episode 2:

But by the time Muriel arrives at the beginning of E3...

he's changed to the more understated* Rigards Stone Eclipses, somehow finding the time** to either go shopping (?) or miracle a different pair (?) while moving the plants and we don't see the Valentinos again.

I can't help but wonder if this change to a more ominously-named pair of sunnies is somehow related to his last line of E3...

...seeing as we know that some nomenclature fun with other sunnies has shown up*** and even background things like the paint colour names have meaning.

What is going onnnn the brainrot and the Sunglasses Special Interest have merged into something driving me meta bonkers aargh

*understated in appearance, but double the price. Why buy a new pair of £700 (or, more likely, two pairs really) sunglasses to change the already established costume continuity? Sure they're gorgeous and I suspect David Tennant's people have a direct line to the whole Rigards stockists list, but still

**There's a bit of speculation about timey slips, jumps, overall wimeyness in S2 but this change doesn't fit! Nothing weird happens between episodes 2 and 3! Except for Muriel showing up but ????

***as previously posted to the sunny sideblog @david-tennant-sunglasses-id eg, the 1941 sunnies definitely are named appropriately, along with other fun (Niteowls!) for other minisodes.
