WAHOOOOOO!

IN A DISTANT and second-hand set of dimensions, in an astral plane that was never meant to fly, the curling star-mists waver and part . . .

I just rediscovered how glorious this image is so excuse me while I laugh uncontrollably every time I look at it again.

It was taken in Kensal Green Cemetery in February.

Terry borrowed the white jacket from our editor, Malcolm Edwards, and grumbled that it did nothing to keep him warm on a very cold day.

“Sometimes you have to be cold to look cool,” I told him.

“It’s all right for you,” he said. “You’re wearing a leather jacket.”

“You could wear a leather jacket too.”

“I’m wearing white,” said Terry, pointedly. “That way, when they come after us for writing a blasphemous book, they’ll know I’m the nice one.”

(After the photo was taken we noticed the bat-winged hourglass, which we hadn’t seen during the photo session, and requested bat-winged hourglasses as a design motif in the book.)

Missing Terry on his anniversary.

Our friend Pterry.

Mind how you go.

I really like the word “smitten”. because at first glance you just think of sappy lovey-dovey stuff but also you have to remember this is a word that’s born of the word “smite.” a devastating word. a word that, summarized, means stricken. smitten means stricken as well — struck with devastating affection.

I'm not sure if Terry Pratchett's Dragons are making fun of the practical implications of fire breathing lizards or real life horses.

-Biological oddities that probably shouldn't function in the manner in which they do.

-Myriad of insane health issues that makes you wonder how they would manage without human intervention at all.

-Bred almost exclusively by well built rich and obsessed women.

Is he being cynical about fantasy or flabbergasted by reality?

Yes.

i think what makes crowley's use of the word “angel” to refer to aziraphale feel so deliberate and subtextually charged is crowley otherwise cringing every time he mentions anything holy like god or heaven. like he throws a fit whenever he slips up but then he'll bring out the one word that sounds like a pet name but is still inherently holy (and therefore should be uncomfortable for him, especially since he used to be one himself and that's what was specifically taken from him) in at least half of their conversations sure why not

Most shows with overpowered supernatural characters always try to come up with elaborate excuses to explain why the characters can’t just magic themselves out of every situation. Good Omens doesn’t really do that, but you don’t really question it because you completely buy that these morons are so unequivocally incompetent that they straight up forget that they have the powers of fucking demigods. They’re like high-level d&d characters who only use the same three moves and have completely forgotten about the 73 magic items sitting in their inventory. 

Crowley: I was totally planning on teleporting to this galaxy 4.3 light-years away but then you died and I was sad :(

Aziraphale: Oh I’m sorry. But listen, I need you to go to this village about an hour outside of London

Crowley: You Want me to GO WHere?? How the– how the FUuuck am I supposed to- I can’t Drive, it’s Rush Hour! You want me to WaLK?? In the Rain??! Please, be Realistic.

I cannot express the effect this post had on me. I read it aloud to my roommate and she burst into helpless laughter because it had never occurred to her that Crowley could do anything to get to Tadfield but drive the Bentley. It absolutely never had occurred to me, either. We both have been reading, rereading, and loving this book for about a decade now.

could crowley enter a church if he was on rollerblades

what about a skateboard

i think it was his feet on sanctified ground that did the whole on-fire thing. shoes obviously don’t prevent it, so i’m a bit iffy on whether rollerblades would work. i’d be a bit more confident sending him in on a skateboard, because that’s an extra little floor between him and the floor, which might just skirt the rules by enough. if it’s just stepping on the floor that does it, then you can basically princess-and-the-pea your way into getting crowley into a church

the same effect would also be gained from dangling him from a rope or making him into spider-man. however, if it is generally being in a church that is the issue, then a crowley-containing space may need to be created. this could range from an astronaut suit, one of those giant plastic bubbles people use to roll down hills in, or a car

HE SHAPESHIFTS HIS FEET TO LOOK LIKE SHOES?????

I've literally never heard of this until now and I've read the book and seen the show. I think it's fanon, unless it's mentioned in the script book (I haven't finished reading that). Still, that is an amazing headcanon.

Also I'm dying at the idea of Crowley just crashing the Bentley through the side of a church to save Aziraphale.

it's a throwaway line, iirc - something like, "he wore snakeskin shoes, if indeed he was wearing shoes." but it's never really elaborated on and also the implications are mildly horrific, which i assume is why most people choose to ignore it.

It is a throwaway line in Crowley’s character introduction, yes.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ACT NORMAL WHEN THEIR WINGS MAKE A HEART SHAPE HELP 😭❤️
