The fact that after Crowley says “then i’m coming back, i won’t leave you on your own” AZIRAPHALE ANSWERS “I know”.
HE SAYS I KNOW.
Like I KNOW YOU’LL COME BACK, I KNOW YOU WONT LEAVE ME ON MY OWN.
He knows. He trusts Crowley. He knows his demon will come back to save him. UGHHHHHH.

So after waking up, I was drinking tea and enjoying the rain. I left the house to walk through the garden, soon joined by my cat, Vampi, although it wasn't long before he ran to hide when the rain came back a little harder. At that moment, for some reason I remembered that it was November 10th and I hadn't done the birthday drawing as I had planned. Luckily, I remembered drawing Neil in a sketchbook back in 2019. And here he is. I present to you a drawing that I made before the pandemic, it is strange that those drawings come to light.
My English is bad, so this is all Google Translate, I hope it's not bad xD

my mum bought me my first neil gaiman book, maggots!!
So, I don't know if you'd call it a book like a story, rather, it's a series of essays by Neil that were illustrated by Chris Riddell. My mum listened to the story of how I was kidnapped adopted by the Good Omens fandom. She was very confused, but since I'm an author and artist, she bought me the book, Art Matters.
And I've been seeing so much beautiful fanart and edits and fanfiction from this fandom, I swear to God or Someone, and it's all reminding me what a wonderful thing fandom is. And art is.
I read the book, and it was amazing, and here's a few quotes from it that I think the ridiculously talented people who created the book and the show as well as every fan who has made this creation grow should hear.
"And remember that whatever discipline you are in, whether you are a musician or a photographer, a fine artist or a cartoonist, a writer, a dancer, a designer, whatever you do, you have one thing that's unique. You have the ability to make art. And for me, and for so many of the people I have known, that's been a lifesaver. The ultimate lifesaver."
"...while you're at it, make your art. Do that stuff that only you can do. ...the one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can."
"And where would be the fun is doing something you knew was going to work?"
Well, you heard him, maggots. Go on creating. You are all so, so important. I came to tumblr because I was lonely and I wanted a friend.
I found a family, instead. In this very strange fandom that kidnapped adopted me. I love you all, and I'm glad to cry with you. I haven't even got to season 2 yet.
Side note...

Welcome, @neil-gaiman, join the maggots in watching me sob over Aziraphale and Crowley. It really is very quiet, gentle and romantic out here.

Last weekend was magical! I traveled from Spain to see the play "Nye" at the National Theatre on Saturday with my best friend. We really enjoyed the play. Michael's performance was outstanding, and the rest of the cast was also excellent.  I got to meet Michael Sheen in person, which was a dream come true for me. I admire him so much as an actor and as a person. He was the kindest, most patient and adorable man in the world with all the fans who were there. I was very nervous, but as soon as I was near him, I calmed down and was able to talk, give him a (very long) letter and a small drawing that I had made for him. I was even able to ask him for a hug, I don't know how I dared, I guess his aura of good person made me have the courage to ask him.

On Sunday, I went to the London Comic Con Spring with my friend. We had been preparing our Good Omens cosplays for weeks, and it was the first time we were going to wear them. We were quite successful and were asked for many photos at the event. Then in the afternoon we decided to go to Regents Park and take some photos there too. We caused some shock among the tourists who were walking around, and we heard comments like: "They must be from a theater." Also, some people asked us for photos, although only one knew that we were "Crowley and Aziraphale".

I don't think @neil-gaiman will ever see this post, but if he did I would love to know if he approves of our Victorian Good Omens cosplays. We really enjoyed being Aziraphale and Crowley for a day. ^_^

What happened to Aziraphale and Crowley between 1941 and 1967?
Tumblr media
It is well known by the fandom that Aziraphale realizes he’s in love with Crowley after Crowley saves him and his books from the n4zis in 1941. That moment marks the shift of their relationship, when Aziraphale sees that not only did Crowley know him well enough to save his books, but also was there for the sole purpose of rescuing him - because he cared. This moment led to their most romantic adventure yet, which involved the car “is there anything i can do for you in return?” scene, the magic trick performance, the “trust me” moment and a very intimate, private, candlelit dinner.
They had crossed a very visible line in their relationship, you could see it in the way they were looking at each other, being more open, talking and drinking together. They were acting romantically towards each other, even if they couldn’t admit it or talk about it.
But then, the next time we see them, it’s almost like they moved backwards in they’re relationship. Aziraphale is practically unable to look directly at Crowley when he first gets in the car. And then we get the iconic, yet heartbreaking and confusing “you go too fast for me, Crowley”. And you can see that Aziraphale looks almost mournful after saying that.
Tumblr media
I saw a post on twitter comparing the two car scenes - the one where Aziraphale is practically throwing himself at Crowley and then the one where he’s hesitant towards him.
And it made me think. Like, whatever happened between those two car scenes has an impact that lasts for many years, as we can CLEARLY see that 2008 Aziraphale and Crowley were still a bit colder and more distant than their 1941 selves. Their relationship backtracked a lot from that candlelit dinner. And i don’t think that’s a plot hole, i truly think there’s something we don’t know yet.
Tumblr media
Of course, after the events of season one, they’re back to being really close, their dynamic is pretty much restored and we can see them hold hand in the bus - which David Tennant has confirmed happened, and it is heavily implied that Aziraphale stays at Crowley’s that night, where they did the body swap for the trials.
Tumblr media
BUT! In the first episode of Season 2, Aziraphale mentions that he had to do the “i’m sorry” dance in 1941. It definitely happened after that candlelit dinner, so could that event - which led to the apology dance - be connected to why they had a temporary falling out? What was it that happened after that dinner? Are we going to see more from 1941?
It has been the only time period that was shown in both seasons, and it was perhaps the most romantic and significant time they’ve spent together prior to the events of season two. Perhaps they went a little too far and weren’t prepared for that? Perhaps they’ve miscommunicated and had a big fight? I don’t know, i’m hoping our dearest @neil-gaiman has an answer for that.
Tumblr media
Also, when Crowley says “no nightingales” before kissing Aziraphale, Aziraphale seems to understand perfectly what he’s referring to. He looks absolutely crushed after Crowley says that. So it led me to believe something in the past made them associate “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” to their relationship and perhaps talk about it. And i believe that, if i am correct and they have talked about the nightingales before, it was in 1941. But then, what do I know?
I would REALLY love to see your theories as to what happened between them after that dinner, if anything at all. Also, does anyone wanna be moots? My posts have been very successful but i’m not getting followers and i really want to meet more of you.

Got my Fiancé reading @neil-gaiman books, now she is convinced she is being haunted by him because mentions of him keep showing up.
But like, if you where to be Haunted by an author, wouldn't you want it to be Neil Gaiman? He is a pretty cool guy, I've never met him myself of course, but I think he is cool.

One of my friends bought me a book of @neil-gaiman short stories for my birthday. It was the same colour as my party dress which is always a good start, but they were worried I might already have it.
I didn't, somehow I'd managed to go 20 years without reading a Neil Gaiman book, so I was excited to give it a try.
I'm only about three stories in, but I don't know how to describe being intensely and simultaneously reminded that this is both the mind that helped create the wonder of Good Omens and the one that came up with the horror of Coraline.
10/10 so far, would recommend.

(across the spiderverse spoiler warning⚠️)
Before going to see Across the Spider-Verse or knowing anything about the film, I happened to be reading Unnatural Creatures (a collection of eerie stories by Neil Gaiman and other authors). The book’s first story (called Inksplot I think), by Gahan Wilson, reminds me so much of The Spot from atsv. The story is about a weird carnivorous black spot from another dimension that appears and reappears throughout a guys house. While The Spot is a person, the spot in the book is more like a plant. Once a character looks away from the spot, it disappears and reappears in a different place with new growth. I just thought it was interesting that The Spot and the black spot/blob are both these sort of all-consuming, inter-dimensional beings. Also, both atsv and the short story end on giant cliffhangers, where it's unclear how either The Spot or spot/blob might be defeated or somehow made less harmful. I can't wait to see Miles Morales and the other characters again, as well as what will be revealed, in the next spiderverse movie!
another note: (Spoiler warning for across the spiderverse and everything everywhere all at once⚠️) I also feel like atsv was totally referencing Everything Everywhere All At Once with Spot’s whole “you threw a bagel at me and also I’ve decided to basically become the Everything Bagel” thing. Which is so fun.
