Oh, dear, hello! I hope this hasn’t been wasting away in here for too long - I’m really inactive on tumblr atm because university has taken over my life and tumblr eats too much time. But thank you so much for your ask! Hmm...let’s see...

1) I used to ride horses. Sadly, I haven’t in a long time because that shit’s expensive and I currently don’t have the weight I’d want a horse to carry comfortably but I really miss it and want to ride again at some point. I just really love horses and I miss ‘em.

2) I have one class on creative writing and one class for how to speak on a stage which is required to make a certificate with our students’ theatre. I’m honestly have amazing opportunities at my university and it’s not nearly often enough that I realise how grateful I should be for being able to pursue two of my biggest passions (writing & acting) within the limits of my studies.

3) I’ve watched/listened to the Les Mis TAC recording five times this last week. Watched it twice with my mum who cries every time at Do You Hear The People Sing (and its reprise) and pretty much the most time in-between those, too (I do too, but that’s not the point right now) :’) It’s currently really one of the few things keeping my (kinda) sane now that the new semester started but it’s still self quarantine time.

So, yeah. That’s three long-ass answers that got pretty personal, I feel :D I hope everyone’s curiosity is sated and I also hope I’ll get to spend more time on here again at some point :)

season 2 of good omens but it’s just one of those “5 hours of ambient noise” videos on youtube. camera in the living room of the south downs cottage. fireplace crackling. aziraphale taking an occasional sip of cocoa as he turns a page in his book. crowley muttering to him, every now and again. getting some soft murmur in response.

season 2 of good omens but it’s just a “peek into the now mundane lives of two supernatural beings who have decided to settle down together in the south downs.”

I'm glad a new generation of kids will get to experience the inane boredom that is Disney's sword in the stone

This has potential. I mean they could make it interesting somehow

I want to defend this movie because I'm sure I liked it, but I'm also equally sure I forgot everything that happened which probably proves the point.

This is a call out post for one Principality Aziraphale, Guardian of the Eastern Gate, Angel of the flaming sword:

If your demon boyfriend in shades steps on consecrated ground to save you from Nazis (or for any other reason tbh) you do the honorable thing and pick. him. up!

The Nazi scene where nothing changes except Crowley does the whole thing from Aziraphale’s arms.

“Sorry, consecrated ground. Ah! It’s like…beingatthebeachinbarefeet!” Crowley hopped and tiptoed down the aisle, already feeling his skin blistering in his socks.

Aziraphale looked outraged. “What are you doing here?” he hissed.

“Stopping you from getting into troub–hEY!”

Aziraphale glowered at Crowley like he hadn’t literally swept Crowley off his feet and was now holding the demon in his arms. Crowley’s arms looped around Aziraphale’s neck instinctively, but the rest of him was stunned into stillness and silence.

“What are you doing on consecrated ground? You know what it does to you!”

“I. Um. How are you holding me like this?” Crowley looked down like he expected Aziraphale to be floating. “I’ve seen you try to run, you’re not exactly the most–”

“Don’t you change the subject on me!”

“Me?! You’re the one who–!”

One of the Nazis cleared their throat. Crowley blinked - he’d completely forgotten they were there, too busy distracted by the ethereal flash Aziraphale’s eyes took on when he was truly irritated, and the disgustingly comfortable way he fit in the angel’s arms.

“I should have known, of course! These people are working for you,” Aziraphale accused him. They were almost nose-to-nose like this. (Satan bless sunglasses, because Aziraphale did not need to know how intently Crowley was staring at his pursed lips.)

Crowley reared back in offense (and maybe to make Aziraphale’s hand press into his back just a little harder). “No, they’re a bunch of half-witted Nazi spies running around London blackmailing and murdering people! I just didn’t want to see you embarrassed–ANGEL!” he yelped as Aziraphale shook him (but never, Crowley noticed, wavered in his grip; not once).

“Consecrated. Ground. Crowley.”

“Imminent. Discorporation. Aziraphale,” Crowley snapped back.

Aziraphale refused to put Crowley down through the rest of the conversation. 

Crowley never bothered to ask.

SOMEONE DID THE THING!!!!

Every Queen Song in Good Omens but it’s Lana Del Rey

Sooo, lemme see if I can get all of them: @queerdove did Taylor Swift, @crowleyraejepsen did CRJ, @gaydolin did MIKA, @anthonycrowley did Hozier and 80s Pop, @basilhallward​ did Abbaso and @aziraphalesbian​ did Paradise Fears. The next logical step, for me, was to add Lana Del Rey to the mix

  1. Bohemian Rhapsody (Crowley’s entrance) / Gods & Monsters (In the land of gods and monsters / I was an angel / Living in the garden of evil / Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed / Shining like a fiery beacon / You got that medicine I need / Fame, liquor, love, give it to me slowly / Put your hands on my waist, do it softly / Me and God we don’t get along so now I sing)
  2. These Are the Days of Our Lives (Crowley and Aziraphale driving) / Born To Die (Come take a walk on the wild side / Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain / You like your girls insane / So choose your last words, this is the last time / Cause you and I, we were born to die)
  3. Bicycle Race (Crowley hits Anathema with his car) / Kinda Outta Luck (Is it wrong that I think it’s kinda fun / When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun? / My daddy’s in the trunk of this brand new truck / I really want him back but I’m kinda outta luck)
  4. You’re My Best Friend (Crowley arrives at the burning bookshop) / Love (I get ready, I get all dressed up / To go nowhere in particular / It doesn’t matter if I’m not enough / For the future or the things to come / ‘Cause I’m young and in love / I’m young and in love)
  5. Somebody to Love (Crowley leaving the burning bookshop) / Dark Paradise (Every time I close my eyes / It’s like a dark paradise / No one compares to you / I’m scared that you won’t be waiting on the other side)
  6. Another One Bites the Dust (Crowley stuck in traffic) / Hit And Run (Nothing’s for free / It’s money and technology / Together we’d be deadly / Deadly / Deadly / Hit and run / Let’s hit and run / Hit and run / Hit and run / Baby hit and run / Hit and run the world)
  7. I’m In Love with My Car (the M25) / You Can Be The Boss (He has a white Corvette like I want it / A fire in his eyes, no, I saw it / He’s bleeding from his brain and his wallet / He’s sick and he’s taken but he’s honest)
  8. We Will Rock You (Crowley’s airbase entrance) / Queen of Disaster (Got me spinning like a ballerina / Felling gangsta every time I see ya / You’re the king and, baby, I’m the queen of / Disaster, disaster)

BONUS: A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square / Lucky Ones (Everybody told me love was blind / Then I saw your face and you blew my mind / Finally you and me are the lucky ones this time)

@virgina-woolf Ooohohoho, an excellent question and I thought about it for a while. So, the place of 'Queen of the Gas Station' in Good Omens.

An obvious (and also pretty good imo) answer would be the one Queen song I forgot on the list - the instrumental brass band rendition of "Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon" in St James Park during the last episode BUT I'd like to propose it be a bit more angsty/gut-wrenching in application and use it as an alternative episode 3 title song, beginning to fade in maybe as early as during the Thermos scene, but swelling up proper definitely after Aziraphale's "You go too fast for me, Crowley" and then carry over into the opening credits (kind of like it was supposed to happen with Buddy Holly's 'Everyday' in a longer ending shot of the scene, according to the script book)

i love aziraphale’s dumb little reading glasses. should angels need glasses to read? presumably not! you’d think they could miracle their eyes to 20/20! but every possibility for their existence is good

1. he thinks they’re cool

2.  he thinks eccentric bookshop owners should wear glasses

3. he’s just gotten so used to humans who look his age needing glasses to read that he brought it on himself

4. this body has always had bad eyes. for whatever reason, they decided to hand out a far sighted angelic host, and aziraphale just dealt with it for 5000 years until someone invented glasses

5. he can’t let crowley have all the glasses wearing fun

WE HAVE OUR ANSWER

So does good omens have like, a plot and shit or, like are michael sheen and hot david tennant just the main characters. I was under the impression they were like background to an actual plot but it seems it’s literally just about their enemies to lovers slowburn

they are the main characters but they contribute exactly nothing to the plot. it’s like armageddon but focusing on two absolutely useless homosexuals instead of armageddon

You know how sometimes you watch a show and there’s some secondary background character that’s just there for comedic or dramatic effect but they’re ten times more interesting than the main characters or their storyline and you find yourself wishing the show was about them and whatever they had going on instead?

That’s Good Omens.
