david tennant: IT’S MY TURN
Not much longer now...
Having spent two years with people asking daily why I wasn't posting GO2 content there's something marvellous about being able to post daily GO2 content.
Hugo Simberg, The Garden of Death, 1896.
Every time I see this I always wonder what the painter’s intended message was. It looks so pleasant, that middle skeleton looks so happy with its work.
Maybe it’s supposed to be a memento mori, but a comforting and encouraging one.
This is one of the most famous paintings in Finland. There are multiple interpretations of it but they all share the same base idea:
“According to Simberg, the flowers represent people’s souls, the skeletons are aids to Death, and the Garden of Death is a purgatory of sorts for souls waiting for entrance into heaven. This artwork invites the viewer to consider the afterlife, to take comfort in his or her own passing, and to not fear what happens after the body fails to function.”
“It depicts Simberg’s thoughts on afterlife, which is not run by angels but skeletons who take care of the heavenly garden with a gentle hand, while waiting for more “gardeners” to arrive. It is derived from the medieval belief that the dead sleep in a blooming garden.”
“In Simberg’s garden the humble Death-like figures struggle against harsh conditions; the landscape around the garden has burnt yellow, it is dry and barren. The cherished flowers grow in exotic shapes, slowly, requiring constant care. The black-clad figures love their nurslings. The garden is a place where Death is allowed to realize its feelings of affection. The Garden of Death can be seen depicting the impossibility of this love; maybe the flowers are tender and fragile because they can not handle the love of Death. Love has two faces: one of them is the face of devastation.”
10 Good Omens Fics I Think About Literally All The Time, by rfsmiley
In honor of the new season being a month (!!!!) away, and before we all get deliciously and wonderfully jossed, I’m doing a fic rec list of fics with scenes or lines or premises that live in my mind rent free.
"But you already wrote that trope."
Aziraphale is the most British angel to ever angel
Super excited about the new series for good omens!!!
It’s so surreal that a book I enjoyed when I was younger is now becoming a tv series.
Neil Gaiman and the Good Omens team deserve so much better than to have something like this spoiled. It's one thing for Amazon Prime to accidentally spoil something, but it's entirely something else for "fans" to keep sharing the photo/video around.
It's just over a month to wait. I'm sure you're capable of waiting that long. Aziraphale and Crowley waited 11 years to see if their plans worked out, you can wait a month for season two.
And, no, I won't give context if you don't know what I'm talking about. Keep it that way. Show the show some respect.
This.

I know it’s boring and like everything else I’ve drawn, but I’m just trying to nail my version of Aziraphale, and I think I’m getting closer.
I love them 💖💖💖
happy good omens anniversary! again!
aziraphale and crowley are domestic and married and shopping for groceries 💖
for the same exchange (To the World!) me and my bff @gingerhaole collaborated on this one. coloring her lines was soooo fun omg!!
i don’t believe in ghosts, but i love you, so i will let you haunt me. i will open the windows in january and imagine you standing here in our kitchen. i will let my hand go numb, pretending i am holding yours. i understand now why people see flickering lights and drafty houses and believe in the impossible. i understand it now, and i will make an exception for you.
EXTRA! EXTRA! Trailer Tomorrow, Fans Run Frantic With Excitement.
Everybody stay calm.
yeah uh... don't do this :)
as a fanfic writer! who has a few semi-abandoned fics! if you do this i will personally bite you with my teeth. you are disrespecting art and the love people put into their work by pretending that an AI can even compare to it
I present, in its entirety, the Buggre Alle This Bible from Good Omens (book). Initially the bit about a scribe who is just so done with his job. And then I kept going, all quotes from the book on each canvas. There are Easter eggs aplenty in each canvas. Paint, alcohol and water-based markers, rhinestones, feathers, and zero partridges in pear trees. I also aged a trunk for it to reside in.
A special gift, because you all have been oh so patient with us 😇 😈
