in the 2nd coming of my good omens era. bisexual. millennial therefore old on this hellsite.

Shout out to all your internet friends who are gone.

Those messenger screen names that haven’t logged on in ages, some before detailed profiles were a thing on those services.

Those emails that are long since abandoned, some with domains that no longer exist.

Those online friends you knew years ago and who then helped shaped you in some way, who you just can’t FIND anymore.

Those people who once were, and hopefully still exist IRL, that seem to have no known internet life anymore.

And those who have actually passed on, and their online lives are now a memorial to them.

I miss you all. I hope life is/was kind to you, and maybe one day, we’ll somehow connect again.

the reason crowley is living in his car instead of just moving straight into the bookshop is. it's because he's waiting for aziraphale to ask him. hes waiting. for aziraphale to initiate something and tell him he wants him. he's still afraid he's going too fast. but aziraphale is finally there....he's finally picking up the pace....we must not lose faith brothers

Hello Mr. Neil Gaiman!

When you and Sir Terry Pratchett were writing Good Omens were you at all influenced by the poem The Second Coming (1919) by William Butler Yeats? If so, has it also influenced you while writing season two?

Yes. You'll find it waiting for you in the very last section of the novel Good Omens.

And wait and see.

why aren't we talking about the scene in the trailer where crowleys straight up getting dragged to hell

more importantly why aren't we looking at WHEN IT TAKES PLACE

look at azi right before crowley gets dragged under

then look at azi in 1862

ITS THE SAME FUCKING OUTFIT

this would be right after they got into a fight about the holy water so why are they walking around the park together in the moonlight??

so like all normal people I can't stop thinking about Crowley and his flat and his car and where he lives. I'm probably clowning* but I'm *pretty sure* he was kicked out of his flat/replaced by Shax a while ago and has been on a road trip of sorts ever since. My dude was too proud and/or too scared to ask Aziraphale for a place to stay, so he just went like, Yeah I'm off then, which Aziraphale did not love. This could explain the shot of the Bentley in the countryside, the "I'm back", the fact Crowley isn't living with Azirphale, and Aziraphale's cold bitchy "I can see that".

*now officially just tinhatting.

I think there’s a good chance we might get to see who Crowley was as an angel before the fall in S2 of Good Omens. Because of this, I want to register ahead of time my total annoyance with the Raphael theory, for the following reasons:

1) It’s cheesy.

2) Everyone in Heaven (and Hell) treats Crowley like just any other demon, not a Lost Fallen Prince and former equal to Gabriel and co.

3) I’m convinced this theory only exists to make me feel guilty about not reading Paradise Lost at university despite it being an assigned text.

…All that said, I will reluctantly accept Crowley as former archangel Raphael, bigwig in Heaven, respectable colleague to Gabriel and Michael, on the condition that:

1) His Heaven disguise is what he actually wore back in the day. Even with everyone else in flowing robes and gold leaf, Raph always rocked up to staff meetings in flipflops and a tracksuit with Blesséd on the butt in gold lamé.

2) Every meeting with the other archangels went exactly like the graveyard scene with Hastur and Ligur in S1. Raphael breezing in late with Starbucks. “Hi guys, sorry, you know what the traffic’s like around Neptune, and then I tried to cut down by the asteroid belt but -” “LET US RECOUNT THE DEEDS OF THE DAY,” Gabriel interrupts, glaring.

3) In the last staff meeting in Heaven Raphael ever attended, he was informed that the archangels had got word of a little unrest among some of the other angels, and they were sending him as an emissary to sort it out. Raphael, who’d just bragged, “What can I say guys, She loves me up there,” feels that this kind of thing isn’t really, you know, his scene. Gabriel is very insistent. Raph reluctantly goes to chat to Lucifer and the guys.

Smash cut to all Hell breaking loose, melee combat all around (to say nothing of the holy hand cannons), screaming rebels being pitched down the fire escape left right and centre. Raphael, cowering behind a pillar and wondering how the hell he managed to cause this escalation, sneaks away under the fog of war and takes the lift.

4) His angelic name is scrubbed from all records, and when forced to refer to him, Gabriel feigns amnesia. “The demon, uhh, Crowley? Might be involved.” (That bitch.)

I hate the new tumblr, the "view post" button, and all the ads. But it's still better than twitter and fb

we can only sext if we roleplay as key figures from the cold war
