"little demonic miracle of my own" yeah yeah but "lift home?" obliterated. instant kill

A midnight snack. (Crowley is angry cause he thought he would be the snack)

The thing you need to remember about good omens is that both Aziraphale and Crowley are, at their core, dramatic bitches

gets in charge of the bookshop for 1 (one) day: shows up in a cardigan vest and metal sleeve garters, keeps the shop CLOSED, avoids selling a single book... iconic, truly did THE MOST, 10/10 😩👌🏻

(also, the way he was this 🤏🏻 close to finally achieving the status of house husband he's been dreaming about for MILLENIA just to have the rug pulled out from under him last minute... truly DEVASTATING 😩 my girl really can't catch a break 🤧)

I will never get over this

And this

And this

And this

And this

And… I mean I am surprised they didn’t have Aziraphale dancing in the streets to “I am in love with Crowley”. Probably having cars crashing around him as he got in the way. Which he didn’t notice. Because he’s in love.

Day 4 of @ineffablehusbandsweek, posting a day later again cause I was on a concert :D

They dance back and forth but always come back to each other <3<3<3<3

(psst I have a Patreon link in my blog description)

Something dramatic

Good Omens | 2.03 'I Know Where I'm Going'

The real fun starts after you watch Good Omens and relisten to every song you've ever heard IN YOUR LIFE and realize it's ALL about them.

I will never ever as long as I live get over the sadness in Crowley's voice when he says "I understand. I think I understand a whole lot better than you do."

It's why I will never believe that Crowley walked away from this argument thinking that Aziraphale didn't love him or whatever. He knows exactly what's happening here, that Heaven did what they're best at and manipulated the fuck out of this whole situation and got their hooks back into Aziraphale. He knows.

Started as a sketch but couldn’t help myself

Aziraphale is a Bond Girl

At their core aziraphale and crowley are just two employees trying to get away with as little actual work as possible. Working class heroes

Let there be light

A set of two 🤍

Bentley chase scene in s3 anyone? Aziraphale frantically launching himself inside the passenger's seat as he urges Crowley to start the car. Crowley looks at the rearview mirror and sees both demons and angels after them (also the Bentley doing the classic Akira motorbike slide).

They could have SO much fun filming that!

Pt III good omens but i STILL SOMEHOW haven't watched it (and i'm increasingly passive aggressive)

i'm now basically held hostage adopted as mascot by this fandom. it's fine i'm fine *SIGNALS FOR HELP DESPERATELY*

Alright fuckers I swear this time I'm going to get some shit right. Without further ado, here's my third attempt at a good omens summary:

Everything everywhere is queer all at once

Angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley on earth likey each other

The car is a bentley and it is BLACK not silver and everyone is very upset about this. my bad yall it was reflecting light therefore i guessed more silver than black but I'm not Anish Kapoor take your black.

Then it is yellow, and aziraphale likes it. crowley preferred the black because he's a flamboyant emo.

God is a deadbeat absentee parent and you are all children of divorce.

There's a naked archangel and they cause problems for the husbands somehow. By being naked? By being an archangel? By being at their doorstep? Who knows not me

They were actually married for 6000 years, they just are the last to know about it.

Crowley is on fire. Like, he's slaying for sure, but also he is literally on fire, like Aziraphale's bookstore.

The actors like I said before are Michael Sheen and David Tennant but this is the place where I finally admit that I don't actually know who is whom. I'm going to assume Michael is Aziraphale because Michael sounds angel-y and David is Crowley because uh Michaelangelo made David and was gay for him.

Terry Pratchett is not fictional.

He co-wrote the book with @neil-gaiman, who IS fictional, because he does not have social media. Several of you have assured me that he is in fact a fandom inside joke. I like to think he would be proud of me.

They adopt a preteen and Crowley gives him bad advice.

At some point a baby was delivered to someone and was exchanged for the son of Satan. Idk if the baby is the preteen, or the son of satan is the preteen, or neither. This could be a fanfic, I have no way of differentiating the fanfic from canon on tumblr, except that the canon is weirder.

Crowley does not go down a chute. He goes down a telephone cord after making himself microscopic to pole dance on a pin with shroom-induced backgrounds.

During this his stage name is Disco Tony. Get it king go slay you're making better life choices than I am tbh.

Aziraphale is a biblically accurate angel, and you have all gone to extensive lengths to prove this to me. I understood nothing, but there you go.

It's all very queer, just like the fandom.

Crowley is a retired demon but he still sins by breaking the speed limit.

They eat at fancy restaurants and bicker but like in a sexual undercurrent way.

Crowley gives Aziraphale a private dance that is not a lap dance, it is an apology dance, but not in a kinky way, until it is.

Their haircuts keep changing and range from 'this is acceptable and gay' to 'i let a drunk chimpanzee take gardening shears and a blowtorch to my hair'

It's all ineffably queer my good fellows

Everyone keeps trying to convince me Neil Gaiman is the villain yeah no guys I know it's really you. Y'all be like 'SEASON TWO BROKE ME' and then you're making headcanons to make it sadder yeah I see you mmhm.

There is a final fifteen. It is sad. What is it? No one told me.

The demon turns goats into crows and the angel turns them back and then children are turned into newts (does the angel turn them back? who cares not yall) and the demon was the snake in the Eden garden and everyone's furry game seems to be on point.

There are a rather lot of children. I have not seen them. But I am assured they are there. They are, guys. I assume they were turned into the alcohol Aziraphale and Crowley drink or something.

There was an apocalypse plotline. It was averted. It is not important. You don't talk about plotlines in this fandom, no sir.

Crowley doesn't want to go to heaven. Aziraphale is sad.

The kiss is not nice, just like this fandom. It is queer, just like this fandom. It is sad and desperate and masochistic, just like this fandom.

Aziraphale doesn't want to stay back with Crowley. Crowley is sad.

Season 2 ends. Fandom is sad.

Everyone's sanity is hinging on the promise of a happy ending in season 3. Good luck guys.

Y'all better appreciate this. I can't even boast to my mother about this legacy of mine, hey mum your son has been held hostage kidnapped inducted into a cult adopted by a fandom he's not part of look he's winning at life.

Pt II good omens but i've still never watched it

so you crazies blew up the other post, and many of you tried to explain the plot to me. many others said there is no plot. many said i was accurate. many said i wasn't. and then i watched a few youtube edits of the angel and the demon.

I'm convinced that I know at least a little bit more now, so like the great guy I am, I decided to share how well you've educated me.

the plot is an angel and demon become alcoholics together while doing the good ol' animal husbandry

neil gaiman doesn't have social media

everyone is crying because the angel wanted to go to heaven and the demon said no

and then the demon did the kissy smoochy to make the angel stay and the angel said no

they were not married for 6000 years but they were more married than married

there is a car. it is silver and crowley likes it.

the car is then yellow. crowley doesn't like it. aziraphale does.

there's some kind of Jane Austen ball and dance

oh but also crowley gives aziraphale a more private dance in their home and he bows while making intensely sexual eye contact with the angel who is turned on and says nice and everyone is gasping about it

no one knows about god, not the fandom, not the characters, not god herself. god is ineffable. hey mum i learned a new word!

they run over an american witch

the angel likes books in a way bordering on obsessive and worshipful

the demon likes the angel in a way bordering on obsessive and worshipful

there's a gramophone

crowley says sorry a bunch of times

aziraphale keeps getting flustered and dying coz of crowley, and the fandom dies every time. crowley is also dying. everyone is dying. hopefully not literally, im now scared of this fandom.

there's a psychedelic drug trip at some point that's in the edits where crowley goes whee down a chute. either that or the sleep deprivation is getting to me. fuck you, good omens fandom.

terry pratchett is a guy

whether he is real, or a character, or like neil gaiman he is neither real nor a character, i am unsure, but he is important and people want me to remember him

crowley likes speeding

Pt I good omens but i've never watched it

i've never seen good omens but it's all over my tumblr dash so this is what I've gathered can someone please confirm if i've got it right

there's a demon named crowley

there's a biblically inaccurate angel named aziraphale but like it's very sexy when the demon calls him 'angel'

the demon and angel have been married for 6000 years and they still keep looking at each other all sappily

Neil Gaiman is somehow involved, I think he's the writer but also he's on tumblr (uh, @neil-gaiman) and people keep questioning if he's real

is neil gaiman like a fandom inside joke why is everyone asking if he's real

there actors are called michael and david and amazon prime thought they were the same

there is a bookstore and crowley is sad

they kiss and it is very nice and desperate and crowley says we could have been us. i have no context for this. someone is going to heaven i think.

there is a god, i'm not sure if they're good or evil though

the demon wears sunglasses

it's a comedy but for some reason everyone's crying after whatever the last season was, are you guys okay

things are on fire

they are very gay

there was a book and at one point they switch bodies

more fire and crowley screaming

they are called ineffable husbands i dont know what that means

they fight crime or they do crime or they fight crime by doing crime i really cannot remember which

gay

this one angel in particular definitely has questions

aziraphale wasn’t the only one visiting discreet gentlemen’s clubs back in the day. crowley had a bit of a reputation too

“Bitch, we were role playing damsel in distress and the rescuer perfectly in Bastille already. I did not dress up like the prettiest princess for him for you to now suggest that I am not his type. You know nothing.”

Aziraphale and Crowley dancing :)❤

Fun fact: The dance was created by the choreographer Abby Warrilow (who also created the apology dance :)). The brief was to make a Jane Austin style dance, it hasn't got a name but they called it the ‘walky talky dance’ in order to the allow dialogue during the ball

It's OVER!

Aziraphale: We’re not friends. I don’t even like you. It’s over.

Crowley: Fine. I’m leaving. Goodbye forever!

(literally the next day)

Crowley: I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it! I miss you so much! Come with me, let’s run away together!

Aziraphale: I forgive you! But I can’t come with you.

Crowley: Fine, I’m leaving and I’m never even going to THINK about you again!

(literally that same afternoon)

Crowley: He’s not answering his phone. He needs me! Wait - fire - he’s dead! I can’t smell him! Dead forever and ever! There’s no point in going on. I’m going to drink whiskey until the world ends and I DIE.

Aziraphale: You alright there mate?

Crowley: ;_; m y l o v e ;_; where are you i will come to you no matter where you are i would destroy galaxies to protect you

Aziraphale: I need a body. Too bad I can’t use yours.

Crowley: NGK

Aziraphale: Just get to Tadfield air base.

Crowley: I would and will drive through a literal wall of fire to be with you. Anything is possible when we’re together.

(literally like an hour later)

Crowley: That’s it, it’s over, end of the world, we’re all going to die, goodbye reality, goodbye everything, this is the END of ALL THINGS it is LITERALLY SATAN here to kill us

Aziraphale: Fix it or I’ll never talk to you again.

Crowley: * M * I * R * A * C * L * E *

Doomed by the narrative?

(aka, how will our hero survive?)

I know, it might seem like I chose violence today, but before you start to yell at me, know that I don't even have a proper theory here. It's basically me seeing foreshadowings of Crowley’s (almost?) death in every single frame and needing some sort of reassurance that this is a comedy and that it should end happily.

Right?

The tragedy of the Starmaker.

I think there is no need to remind how Crowley's character is steeped in tragedy since before the beginning. The Starmaker was a happy angel, full of imagination, who literally bursts with joy for the creation. Innocent. Naïve. And then this precious being was grabbed and thrown down into a pool of sulfur. His innocence was stripped away from him, his nature was changed by force. Did he feel his wings burning? Did he feel like he was on fire, his skin burning and sizzling, while he was immersed in that pool of sulfur?

We don't even know the Starmaker's real name – we know literally nothing about him, other than his love for creation, we don’t know his place among the angels – but we already know that he's fallen. In the opening sequence we already know that his joy is destined to disappear. This means being “doomed by the narrative”.

I know that, for some reason, this is controversial in the fandom, but I believe that the memory of the Fall still haunts Crowley, that the trauma left him with scars that still haven't healed.

And all this could happen again.

Danse Macabre, the Book of Life.

The classical music that stays classical music that Aziraphale listens in the Bentley is the Danse Macabre. It tells of a personification of the death, who animates and evokes corpses, so that they can all dance around the graves. It’s an allegory, a memento mori, to remind people of the fragility of life. But, taken literally, it’s about the dead being resurrected. Remember this quote from Jimbriel?

“There will come a tempest, then darkness, and great storms. And the dead will leave their graves and walk the earth once more. And there will be great lamentations. Every day it’s getting closer.”

I believe this is a reference to Revelation 20, the twentieth chapter of the Book of Revelation: it talks about how the dead are resurrected after Jesus’ second coming, and how they are subjected to judgment.

“And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.”

The Book of Life contains information about everyone: those who are judged properly good by Heaven's standards will be fine. Everyone else ends up in a lake of fire. Whoever does not appear in the Book of Life still ends up in the lake of fire. And the demons? They get “thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever”.

Heaven really likes to throw beings into this pool of sulfur, huh? Now imagine Crowley forced to go through the ordeal that made him a demon, again.

Pierced to the heart, not just metaphorically.

I’ve already talked here about this theory. In the paintball scene, Aziraphale is shot in the back (backstabbed?) and Crowley is shot in the heart.

And here, once again, three swords appear to stab Aziraphale in the back but, if Aziraphale moves, they hit Crowley and two of them hit him straight in the heart. If this is foreshadowing, someone might betray Aziraphale and try to backstab him, but it will be Crowley who gets hit. Or Crowley could step in to try to save Aziraphale somehow and get hurt. It wouldn’t be unlikely.

Heroic self sacrifice.

I really try not to see any foreshadowing here. It's not as if Crowley had identified with Nina other times...

Oh wait, he did. Crowley is brave. Crowley calls himself a hero (he is). Crowley cares about the Earth and the humanity, he led a group of humans out of the bookshop among the demons. Could he decide, under tragic circumstances, to stay behind to save lives? Even if he is not able to perform miracles, because someone is using some device like the miracle blocker? Come on, we know he could.

And, consequently…

I won’t leave you on your own.

Famous last words. It always ends well when a character says that, right?

This is the worst possible outcome. This would mean that every single action Aziraphale might have taken during season 3 to protect Crowley still wouldn't have been enough. Their future together was dead before the story even began. I can't even imagine a situation where Aziraphale realizes that he is all alone, that he will never have Crowley by his side again. That he will no longer have the chance to tell him that he loves him, because by now it is too late.

Aziraphale’s arc.

Speaking of Aziraphale. If a life-or-death situation were to arise, it’s likely to happen towards the end of the series. And, in this case, I'm sure Aziraphale will already snapped against Heaven. On the other hand, I can't imagine anything that would unleash Aziraphale's combative and fiercely protective side to its fullest potential like seeing the love of his eternal life in danger. I like the potential angst of the scenario… but only as long as we get a happy ending.

So, feel free to tell me that everything will be fine.

Watching good omens is like reading a fic tagged #angst with a happy ending and #south downs cottage and the angst goes hardddd but you reach the author’s note at the end and it says the next update will be in a few years

Aziraphale is the most character ever. He ran out of ideas so he declared war on hell. He canonically says fuck. His favourite colour is yellow. He’s literally an angel and can speak every language on earth but still isn’t fluent in french. He told his boyfriend to shoot him for his magic act and made him go through with it when their miracles weren’t working. He gave away his flaming sword and then lied about it for the next 6000 years. He has a bookshop that never sells books. No one’s doing it like him.
