mermaid internet cafe in an upside down boat, where the mermaids go to read fanfiction, and do whatever else they do on the internet. remote work, probably.

edit: 2 weeks later i realize the acronym should have been We Have A Lot of Exceptions to spell whale. oh whale.

Synopsis: What do you do with a depressed demon, especially if you’re a Bentley with limited capability for giving moral support? Well, you take him somewhere that he CAN get moral support, whether he likes it or not. Crowley may feel like the whole world is ganging up on him, but mainly it’s in an effort to cheer him up. The question is: will it work? Illustrated by GayDemonicDisaster, IneffableChocolateCheeseCake, HG_Aneh, Sweet Illustrations/SleepySkele collab FYI this is Muriel AND Crowley, not slash.

"Our Car"

Good Omens Season 2 - Amazon Prime Video

Repost of some S1 / S2 BTS Bentley details from OP @scrapheapchallenge

Reposted with Permission

[September 2023]

"Erm, as resident Good Omens Bentley geek, who has met both Season 1 AND Season 2 Bentleys, there ARE continuity errors, and I know why.

SO - in s1 and s2 they used this cab only for a lot of shots - including all CGI ones - where the rest of the car was created in post sfx around the cab.

You'll notice, it matches the s1 bentley ("Mary") - 2 doors, and orange leather seats, as it was a replica of Mary.

At the end of s1, they (presumably?) removed the interior, (unclear - can't see interior when it's on fire), then set it up on the airfield with some mocked-up panels and wheels around it to make it look like a full car, and set it on fire, completing the illusion with VFX so we see it as a real, complete car on fire. The flames make it hard to spot that it wasn't a real car. Then: they put it out again.

THEN...

presumably, they cleaned it up, repainted it, refitted the interior - and took it up to Edinburgh (or somehow found *another* Bentley cab to use, although that would be pretty difficult - it was hard enough to source the first one, they're pretty rare, and still very expensive.) My money is on that the S2 cab only is still the S1 cab only, just painted again. But either way, the s2 cab only was created to match the s1 car and interior.

THEN... the s2 Bentley arrived in Edinburgh,  all black, with 4 doors, and blue interior.

Now either it was too late, too expensive, or no one noticed/cared about the SFX cab only not matching the new Bentley, so they just rolled with it, and hoped no one would notice.

(Spoiler alert, I did notice)

S1 Bentley, belonging to my friend Jeremy, she’s named “Mary.” She’s a 1934 Bentley Derby Coupe with coachwork built by Thrupp & Maberley, in two tone grey and black with red leather interior.

Her Good Omens number plates are still in the boot, and the Velvet Underground CD is still in the passenger door pocket where Michael Sheen left it.

Now THIS is the cab only used in season 2 - as you can see, it retains the two door, black and grey colour scheme of Mary from Season 1, who was NOT used in season 2. Yes I know why she wasn’t used, and no I will not be divulging that information, as it’s private and not something for me to say. All I can tell you is that I knew before season 2 even began filming, that Mary was not going to be in it and why that was. I kept that information under my hat, until it was confirmed that they had a new car, as I didn’t want to spoil anything for anyone.

Now HERE we have the season 2 Bentley. She is NOT the same as Mary - she’s a 4 door entirely in black, with a dark blue interior, she’s not a Thrupp & Maberley body, as there were only two of those constructed, and of those two, only Mary survives. I’m not certain WHO the coachbuilder was, I don’t think she’s Mulliner or Park-Ward, but not certain. This was her in Edinburgh during filming.

Season 2 Bentley on set in Edinburgh.

... and me [@scrapheapchallenge], with the season 2 Bentley on set in Edinburgh a few weeks ago before season 2 aired. I met her before and after her transformation - before she was taken to Edinburgh for fliming.

So, we have 2 and a half Bentleys in use between season 1 and season 2. And when you look at the colour of the seats in season 2, you will see them hop back and forth between blue and red. When they’re blue, it’s the real, fully functioning car. When they’re red, it was the cab only, so the shot will be using CGI to complete the vehicle afterwards." [End]

but the good news is:

[scrapheapchallenge]

Chapter 5 of "How to make friends and influence rodents" is now up, and here's my two illustrations for it. https://archiveofourown.org/works/63828268 Crowley took about 4 1/4 hours over 2 days. Muriel just under 2 hours! I literally finished just under an hour before the chapter was due to upload and pretty proud of myself for that. I would be happy with just Crowley but decided Muriel needed some love in this fic as well, so went for a bonus illustration. Added WIP stages, or dark, light, and base colour layers to show how they come together.

Chapter 4 of SFW silly Good Omens fic "How to make friends and influence rodents" is now up, and here's the illustration I did for it of Crowley with his "NOT TODAY, SATAN" mug Muriel got him. I've added this to my redbubble as well along with some of my other designs. Fic link here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/63828268 Redbubble link here: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/169234627?asc=u (And yes you can choose it on different merch options, so you can get Crowley drinking from his mug, on your own mug, if you like!)

[scrapheapchallenge]

somone asked, so I did a thing. Crowley with his "NOT TODAY, SATAN" mug, hand-drawn digital illustration in chalk and charcoal style.

Back on the bench

And again, and again…

[scrapheapchallenge]

WIP stages and layers of the illustration for chapter 1 of "How to make friends and influence rodents." Yes, it starts with a sad Crowley, but then it's all healing, fluff, and giggls from then on, this is the only serious illustration in the whole thing. https://archiveofourown.org/works/63828268
