Five Start Armageddon

This week’s prompt in the GO Reference Library study club was the Them. And this immediately popped into my head! I loved the Famous Five as a kid, and Eileen Soper, who illustrated them, made such lovely art.

How does it feel to be really old

63 doesn't feel Really Old. Just old. I'm hoping to be able to tell you how it feels to be Really Old in about 30 or 40 years, though.

so. what has been bothering me A LOT about aziraphale's face in the final 15. and THAT smile.

You know the one.

It does not look like his face. at all.

It isn't how he holds his face when he smiles, he doesn't normally close his lips like that. His eyes aren't shaped like that. That's why it is so uncanny valley. It's not him to me. I may be bonkers. (That's always possible.) But that's why it looks so unhinged, so disturbing, besides the most devastating timing.

But you know who does hold their mouth that way when they smile? You know whose eyes look a bit more like that when they smile?

I'm effin' breathing into a paper back right now. It's CREEPY.

But you know how there was that post where Neil talked about what an insanely good mimic Michael Sheen is? And how he turned to look because he thought it was David Tennant slagging off Aziraphale, and it was MICHAEL SHEEN doing an impression? [found it, thank you @fuckyeahgoodomens!]

And also, how excellent Michael was in the appearance swap in Season 1?

Do you also remember/have you seen the theories that Aziraphale mouths "we need help" when he's speaking to Crowley in the final fifteen? ["We need help" final 15 post. h/t @somehow-a-human]

Who would they have to help them now? Not heaven. Not hell. Not each other, this is too big now. But who might be powerful enough? Who was holding their hands when they performed the 25 Lazarii miracle whoopsie?? Who no longer has any allegiance to heaven? Who did AZIRAPHALE JUST HELP PROTECTING FROM HEAVEN???

GuYSs. Could...it be?

This is all in my brain because someone wrote up a thing about the line "books are like people but portable" (aeeugh I can't find any of these right now, I'll go back to find the links) [edit: okay this one is here. thank you, @tossyouforedinburgh] right before the final 15? and "who is the book"? who has been ORGANISING ALL THE BOOKS? Could the memories of Aziraphale/Aziraphale HIMSELF have been saved into a book? The only person they could learn this from is Gabriel, because he knows how. He put himself into a fly.

I have not been thinking about this long, so it may be easily dismissible, but I have been thinking about it long enough I had to say something. I almost didn't post.

But...look at the FACES. It's WEIRD.

sorry for all the edits. 😮‍💨

Can you draw Crowley and Aziraphale as crabs? Any kind of crustacean will do

Historicly, in this AU Crowley is a Shrimp and Azi a seahorse. But fell the marvelous is always happy to satisfy his lovely fans🥰 meanwhile Crowley is not the smarter Shrimp of the sea….

Independent Embassy

What machinations did Aziraphale do to make it an Independent Embassy. What does he mean. Demons can't come in but nor do angels in S2. They ask if they can come in. Az knows, insists it's a safe space. Why? He wants to believe he can protect Crowley and Jim and everyone.

He's trying SO HARD to make it a perfect evening, for everyone to have a great time.

He walks away from Crowley and Nina in a hurry, looking worried, but with a plan. The plan is apparently to get EVERYONE into his bookshop. By any means. Bribery. Temptations.

He knows Shax is on his tail, he kinda messed up in the car. But what is his plan? To keep everyone safe for the evening? In case Shax shows up? And what then?

Here is a Draft I Wrote on August 24th, 2023

Hello. Today is my 46th birthday. I am really happy to be here. I am especially happy to be here because my previous selves did so much work--including when they did not want to be here--to make sure that I would have a chance to walk in the woods on a very hot August day and marvel in gratitude.

Today is Sir Terry Pratchett's birthday. So, why not celebrate with some of the easter eggs we have in Good Omens that are all about him.

Mind how you go.

*at a zoo*

Crowley: What are they in for?

Aziraphale: Crowley, this isn't prison.

Crowley: So they can leave?

Aziraphale: No, but-

Crowley, pointing at a meerkat: I bet that one murdered someone.

You have no right to be this cute, sir

I subscribed to Netflix again only for Dead Boy Detectives, and some months ago I subscribed to Prime only for Good Omens. At this rate I'm only paying stream services for Neil Gaiman.

For one night only, come play witness to the magic of the great Aziraphale!
