there are a lot of Extremely Married moments in good omens, but I maintain that the Most Married moment is when crowley says out of nowhere, “ducks! they’re what water slides off.” and aziraphale heaves a deeply put-upon sigh and says, “….just drive the car.”
a close runner up is when Aziraphale wants to do magic at Warlock’s birthday party and Crowley just goes, “Make you disappear”, and Aziraphale’s not put out in the slightest
and third place goes to “Oh Lord, heal this bike”
“Not you, I know what you smell like.”
I’m sorry, but the Most Married Moment is the compromise:
A: “You lost the child.” C: “We lost the child.” A: “A child has been lost.”
For me it’s always the bit on the airfield where Aziraphale is going “I was technically on apple tree duty–” and setting up for a very long explanation akd Crowley just looks at him and makes a little gesture and shakes his head a bit with “Sweetheart this is really not the time” written all over him.
I feel like at some point this post will have just listed every exchange they have
forever and always and @ashfae put it so well “sweetheart this is really not the time”
Happy Friday, folks! If you, like me, are currently being beset by this horrific heatwave, I hope you're keeping well-hydrated. I took the day off work originally to take stuff to the dump...then I saw it was 35°C today, and I thought fuck that. So! Instead, I'm relaxing on the sofa, a cat sitting on me (which feels like a furnace in my lap, but who am I to deny her?), and giving serious thought to having a Cornetto for lunch. Hope you have a restful weekend and solidarity to my fellow heatwave-sufferers 💜
As always, click on the images if the text is fuzzy!

Good Omens + Costumes
Archduke Slorch the Vile's black, silver & golden outfit in Season 03, Episode 01.
In these fraught times, let's not forget the REAL lessons 'Good Omens' has taught us.
The Book of Life / The Book of Love
We're an angel / a witch / christ & a demon / a witchfinder / the adversary [...] we're hereditary enemies.
&& Last scenes.
i love when tragedies are like “the love was there. it didnt change anything. it didnt save anyone. there were just too many forces against it. but it still matters that the love was there”
Some things I really like in the finale
& I added few more things over there.
will you guys cancel me if i say that queer tragedy has a place in the creative arts and shouldn’t immediately be dismissed as bury your gays
adding @glorious-spoon 's astute tags:
#bury your gays and women in refrigerators and the black guy dies first are all about treating marginalized people like props#to further the story of the (white straight male) protagonist#that's not the same thing as a tragedy! some stories are tragedies! whose story has weight and meaning - that's the question
We were so terrified to see a human theory ending that we saw it when it wasn't there at all
Here, they get to live free from hell and heaven, gave humanity another chance because they love the earth and its people, because its what they have always wanted.
Their soul remember who they were, even if they dont remember now, they will always know deep down.
And in a world with no heaven or hell, they will born again, find eachother and fall in love over and over again
Meeting throughout history as they always did
Because it's ineffable
It's like Adam says:
They don't actually forget, they just don't remember exactly.
Some thoughts I've had since my last post. It was kind of a revelation that I've had in a couple of places over the course of a few days.
Firstly, the problem of the Final Fifteen left us in limbo for nearly three years, wanting to know what would happen between Crowley and Aziraphale. Nobody was worried about that pesky end of the world bit at the end. Just three years of a romantic cliffhanger.
I'm not speaking for anybody here, I'm not accusing anyone of necessarily believing what I'm about to say over what their actual feelings are on the finale, it's just my opinion... But the show was never about Crowley and Aziraphale's love for one another. Yeah, it became that, but it was originally about their love of humanity.
Season 2 was a big ol' distraction from that, and a broken-hearted angel and demon became the main concern. I'm not denying that I am right there with those people. But the thing that made Crowley and Aziraphale different from the rest of their sides was their love of humanity.
I will say I've been having issues with people complaining that their decision was out of character. I wholeheartedly disagree with that. And besides, like Aziraphale said, they both wanted to be together, but it was about more than that.
As for alternative endings where they simply start up where they left off, minus heaven or hell, with everyone's memories intact, would never work. Humanity had already been poked and prodded into what it was. You can't just pull that rug out from under everything and act like that would suddenly work. The knowledge of the Plan is still being affected by it. In order for them to truly take advantage of a universe with true free will, they needed to be human and have human experiences for it to truly mean anything.
I don't think Crowley and Aziraphale just vanished, and oop, they never existed, they were never real. They have existed in many different ways over many different lifetimes.
I've had people argue about Anthony and Asa not being *them* but that's the thing. They are. They're not the same, but the building blocks are the same. Their love always draws them together, and they both got to be with the one they love.
Totally agree! I just finished the Finale (again) and after they end everything else left dissolved there's the Big Bang, a new start. We always asked what was there before the start, and now we know. They are everywhere, in every new atom
at the end of the day good omens is a satirical commentary on religion. it is an atheist show, like that's always been the point. it ends by saying that a christian world with a good side and a bad side, where there is an eternal paradise for the nice people and eternal punishment for the bad ones, doesn't make sense. actually, it ends by saying that world should never exist, because it is inherently corrupt! not even the people running it all understand their apparent roles or why they are fighting. that's why aziraphale and crowley act in subversive ways, an angel who sins and is selfish and a demon who is endlessly good. that's why gabriel throws up his hands and basically says fuck this. that's why michael loses their mind trying to carry out the end of everything.
good omens, instead, dreams of a secular world in which there are no sides, and human choices actually make a difference. we aren't in some rigged game of ineffable chess. we are the creators of our own destiny. we are the ones who get to choose how we live. aziraphale and crowley don't make their own universe. they simply ask for a world that isn't simply god's amusing experiment.
and god, in the original universe, is not good. I cannot help but feel horrified by her when I think of the fact that she said aziraphale and crowley's love made her smile, and then immediately, without emotion, was about to end them for good. this is a commentary on the irony of christianity. the show says, if there is a god, we are all simply pawns in her game. it is a sort of religious horror that lingers, to me, because the end of everything does not bother her in the slightest.
and the show would have always ended like this. it was forshadowed with job, who was abandoned and tortured for god's bet. and every other bible story - noah's ark, jesus being crucified - just adds to this view of a god who has no mercy, who is apathetic in every decision, who would let aziraphale and crowley create their own universe on a whim.
the real grace, the real miracle, the real magic and the real divinity - that's love. messy, human love. and that's why, in a godless universe, aziraphale and crowley still exist. their love surpasses any holiness or great plan. and if the show had ended in any other way, if things had been put neatly back in their place, that message would not have worked.
because at the end of the day, this ending is meta. it is political. it is a cautionary tale of what happens if you live with black-and-white morality. the ending isn't a case of, well, if the world is broken, we can just make another one! instead, the audience are being spoken to directly. they're being told, across three seasons we've shown you what the world would look under your puritan religion. we've shown you why it would not work and the deep suffering and confusion it would bring to everyone, from angels and demons to humanity. and now, we're putting the world back to what it should be, what it is, a secular, godless universe where we are born and we die and we get to choose. the beauty is in humanity and the infinity of our universe.
