Aziraphale as God

I've joked with fandom friends before that Aziraphale should take the position of 'God' at the end of S3 cos he's the one who is actually good and kind in that Universe.

But now I've decided, he already is.

If God who cast half Her angels into misery, the angels who didn't seem to feel particularly loved or understood even before the War (see Aziraphale's anxiety and Angel!Crowley's disappointment in Before the Beginning); if Her idea of a fun pastime is to drown humans that displeased Her and have a bet with Satan that results in death of three children... then, like many people before me, I call Her out for being cruel and heartless and unfair.

I don't care for Her Ineffable Plan or Great Plan or whatever. Well actually, much like Aziraphale at the end of S1, I know She doesn't actually have one. Or Aziraphale, with Crowley's help and at his prompt, would not have been able to change it.

The idea though. Of goodness as a force, of kindness as a fight against cruelty, of forgiveness as a weapon against pain, rejection, misunderstanding... is solid.

And Aziraphale seems to be the only angel to see and understand and embrace this as far as he can.

No. He did not create the Universe and he would never be arrogant enough to presume to want to rule it in any way, but he can absolutely be the one who leads, in the purest way.

And not because he's perfect. Far from it. But because he tries. He tries so hard to do the right thing, to make the right decisions. To help. To understand.

Aziraphale is. The whole idea of him is as a being, is that he is. That he strives, that he wants, that he yearns and hopes. He is open, open to learn, to appreciate, to understand, to savour.

He is not perfect but his wanting to do good, to do right makes him the perfect candidate for the role of true God. And so it does for everyone who tries their best. Who looks to better themselves, to understand, to be kind, to help, to live in a way that enriches (someone's) life.

God shouldn't be a noun. It should be a verb. It should not be something to be, but something to do. It shouldn't mean to have answers. But to be open to questions. To keep looking, keep going. To signify what someone does when they try their best to live their life so it is full of kindness.

Kindness. To others. And to oneself.

To have faith should mean not that we believe some Higher Power has all the answers, rules and a Plan, but that we are the force that can change things, that is the force for spreading goodness in the world.

- He's not my bit on the side. He's far too pure of heart to be anybody's bit on the side. He's just an angel I know. - If you say so. But then again, other people's love lives always seem so much more straightforward than our own.

#I just love the idea of Aziraphale taking time out from manipulating the free will of his neighbours to have a ball for himself and Crowley Nina and Maggie to make sure that Jim/Gabriel - and only Jim/Gabriel - has the most flamboyant outfit possible.

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.

This is so fucking incredibly well done - story, design, layout, Everything!!!

I've been compelled since the end of GO S2 to draw cheer-up post-fix-it fluff comic.

Tbh, the first four pages are just filler to get to the point where I could start drawing (and ogling pictures of) long-hair Crowley being needy (Biblical Crowley is sooo my jam)😍😆

Honestly, the standard of Good Omens fanart is so insanely high I was kinda nervous to even start drawing any (and I haven't done a comic in yearrrrs). But it was really really fun. Thank you for looking!❤

I do not need you or your stupid monster to protect me. Is that what you think?
