Crowley is like a cat knocking things off the table

+ bonus:

[dubiousduckears]

Ineffable cats. They nap in the bookshop, eat sushis, and graciously let human cuddle them. But most of the time they are just weird and adorably stupid

@lgbtqcreators bingo: free choice + tropes

Aziraphale & Crowley + Everyone can see it “Can we get on?” said Crowley. “Goodnight, miss. Get in, angel.” Ah. Well, that explained it. She had been perfectly safe after all.

“All over the world, people who had been wrestling with switches found that they had switched. Circuit breakers opened. Computers stopped planning World War Three and went back to idly scanning the stratosphere.“

Good Omens Season 2 Title Sequence - Part 3

[dubiousduckears]

Maybe it never was a metaphor. Use your words, Aziraphale.

Random thought on this lovely morning.

I've always seen "angel" as like an almost-sarcastic loving pet name. Like, it's almost dismissive (like "you're just an angel not even worthy of calling by name" or "yeah yeah you're my opposite number") but in an endearing way that betrays the ruse and reveals that he really does care for him.

But it's also something else.

Aziraphale takes a lot of pride in his identity as an angel. At least, he puts a lot of effort into making sure he's acting in a way that is true to his morals (which may not necessarily line up with what is expected of him as an angel -- e.g., giving away the flaming sword, averting the war -- but usually line up with being "good").

And Crowley is constantly affirming his identity.

Sure, he might push and pull a little at moral strings and pose little questions and experiments like he did with the guns. He might question whether being angelic is truly synonymous with being good. But one thing he will not do is insinuate that Aziraphale is a bad angel, or shouldn't be one.

In the same way Aziraphale is constantly bringing up Crowley's place (almost as if to remind himself), Crowley is constantly affirming that he is an angel. I can only imagine that it's creating positive feelings about being an angel, in the face of constant negativity and criticism from his higher-ups.

In short, it feels like what Crowley is saying is this: you can be whatever you want to be, you're valid, you deserve to be cared for, you're good enough the way you are, you don't need Them to tell you who you are or that you're worth knowing.

He just absolutely adores this angel, doesn't he?

brb I think I'm going to cry.

No, I'm serious. Look at him:

Hello?! How am I supposed to survive THIS

In excruciating detail, what is the entire plot of the unreleased second season of the hit show Good Omens?

I'm so glad someone has finally asked me. Crowley and Aziraphale, who in this season are both undertakers in Birmingham, and their wives, Dottie and Sadie, go on holiday together to the South of France. The boys get very drunk at a wine tasting, and their wives have to bring them home to the hotel, where Aziraphale (still drunk) puts on the gorilla costume he finds in a closet. Imagine Crowley's shock, when he sees a gorilla climbing out of the window of the hotel! Now, it just so happens that a master spy who looks exactly like Aziraphale hid the microfilm plans for a missile in Crowley's bathroom, and has returned to obtain the microfilm, which is hidden in a book of naughty seaside postcards that Dottie found earlier and threw out of the window. When the police turn up looking for the gorilla, they find the master spy but think it's actually Aziraphale. Fortunately Sadie realises that the pineapple-shaped birthmark has vanished from Aziraphale's left elbow which means that he's an imposter and she and Dottie set out to rescue him in his gorilla costume from the circus that he's been sold to by an unscrupulous animal welfare centre operative. And then there are lots of cats and horses. The end. It's really good.

Inspired by the battleship scene in Staged :D.

Good Omens alternative ending

The Tadfield airbase:

Crowley: We have a better way than a war for you to solve this.

Gabriel: What way?

Crowley: Battleships.

Gabriel: Battleships?

Aziraphale: Battleships.

Later, Aziraphale’s bookshop:

Gabriel, holding a pencil and a notebook: E4

Beelzebub: Another… miss.

Back of the bookshop:

Aziraphale: I’m still not happy they have chosen my shop as neutral ground. How is it going?

Crowley: Beelzebub has already won, so Heaven and Hell are switching offices tomorrow. Now they’re playing for fun.
