Dear Good Omens fandom friends,

can we please agree to keep our sand in our sandbox?

We have a great sandbox. It's big and full of people building castles and villages and roads and stuff. Some of that is big and complicated and detail-oriented, some of it is strange and weird and funny, some if it is off-the-rails in any and all senses of the word. All of it is lovely. Some of it tries to rebuild Neil Gaiman's sandcastle as faithful as possible, either to build onto it or to try and find out where the secret rooms might be hidden. Some of it looks a lot like his but has its own little turrets and courtyards and gardens added everywhere. Some of it looks completely different and doesn't try to hide it. Some of it isn't even meant to be taken seriously and just exists to make people laugh. But there is so much of it that everybody can find something for themselves; and if we don't we just find a free space and start shifting sand ourselves.

Neil Gaiman has his own sandbox. He has built something brilliant and beautiful in it, and he is currently busy building another storey onto it. He doesn't want anybody to see the new part before it is finished, and I know that sometimes the excitement of finally wanting to see it is hard to bear.

But that is why we have our sandbox. To make our own stuff until he reveals the rest of that sandcastle we all love so much. To pass the time, to have fun with it, to meet new people and find more brilliant little sandcastles. Never again will there be as much creativity, as much activity, as many people around in this sandbox than there is now, in the time before the last bit of his castle is revealed. I am sure most of us will be delighted and surprised at what he will have created. Some will be disappointed because they were expecting his sandcastle to look different, some will be disappointed because they saw a castle in our sandbox they liked much more, but most will be delighted because after all we came up with he will still have managed to surprise us.

Our sandbox. His sandbox.

The two are separated for a reason.

Because if you keep throwing sand into his box to get his attention, or keep trying to get a good look at what he is doing over there, or keep yelling at him to look over to ours and tell you which one looks like the one he is trying to make, or which one is the best, or how stupid one of the others looks (last one would also make you a dick), you are quite simply risking the new part of his sandcastle to collapse. Or for him to have to remake it in a way he didn't plan to, or simply dislikes, or that we will all dislike.

And just because he is glad we are enjoying ourselves and proud that his work inspired us to create all these things, doesn't mean he wants to see (all of) it. Some things he definitely wouldn't want to see; other things the creators definitely don't want him to see.

I'm proud of our sandbox. It's huge. It's brilliant. It's creative. It's collaborative. And it's ours.

Have fun in it. But keep it apart from his. Keep out of his. And keep him out of ours. Stop trying to drag him over. He has stuff to do. Important stuff. Stuff I, for one, am waiting very impatiently for.

And he will never show us the parts of the castle that aren't finished yet, no matter how often you ask. And just because he is making an effort to be funny about it doesn't mean we aren't annoying him when we keep asking.

I think S3 will be rather a character reveal for Aziraphale than a character development. The main arc of his development was in S1. And in the S2 flashbacks.

I think he knows and understands more than the fandom thinks of him.

He's just very secretive. He successfully lied to both Heaven and Crowley about the Antichrist. They both didn't share important information with each other in S2.

He has a driving licence and a gun licence. He took French and magic lessons. He can draw portraits. He keeps a diary. He's full of surprises.

""""Grateful""""🫢

[ineffable-suffering]

Aziraphale, I love you. But you lied. And here's why.

Okay. I’m not gonna beat around the bush for too long. It’s time now for me to also throw my try at a personal Good Omens Season 2 Magnum Opus into the mix of already existing magnum op..i? Opusses? (Smited? Smote?)

If I’m honest, it isn’t fully my own magnum opus, as I read this meta not too long ago that made me go: „Oh! My God! That’s it!“ And I’m pretty sure a lot of other people have clocked this too by now. Of course I’m not saying it’s the objective truth but after having mulled it over for many endless nights and days, wading through the onslaught of coffee theories, body swap theories, The Metatron re-writing the Book of Life theories and many, many more, this is the one I think is most plausible and, if you look closely, most obvious.

And it goes as such: Aziraphale lied.

To all of us. All of them. And most of all, to Crowley. He lied to him. Well, he sort of did and also sort of didn’t. He certainly didn’t tell the truth. At least not all of it. I hear you ask: “OP, what the fuck are you talking about”. I answer you: Let’s start from the top and under the cut.

(Small note: this meta ended up being way too large for Tumblr, which is why I will redirect you to an external doc at the end of the post, where I have written it all down nicely and accurately. It's about 35 digital A4-pages long, just in case you want to save it for later.)

(Word count: 12.831 | Approximate reading time: 50 minutes)

Let’s start with a short recap of what happens before the Metatron crashes the bookshop party and everything goes to shit. The proper visuals for this are in my Tumblr post but I am absolutely convinced that right up until when the Metatron comes to take Aziraphale away and talk to him, the angel is fully ready to get into Crowley’s Bentley-chariot and finally ride off into the sunset (or Alpha Centauri-set or whatever). You can see it in his face and body language. You can see when the penny drops for him that a) Crowley loves him b) he loves Crowley and c) they can finally start their happily ever after. Aziraphale realizes this all throughout said Brielzebub reveal in the bookshop. And he’s such a lost cause once he does. 

I mean, look at that. Look at it. This (very shitty recording, sorry, I'm not tech-savvy enough to avoid the Amazon Prime screen recording blocker) is the very second Aziraphale realizes hat Crowley loves him. When he hears him suggest Alpha bloody Centauri as a getaway for Gabriel and Beelzebub, as Crowley has done to Aziraphale for so, so many times now. He finally understands what Crowley was trying to tell him with that all those times.

Aziraphale realizes this all throughout the Brielzebub reveal in the bookshop. And he’s such a lost cause once he does.

Right when Crowley suggest Alpha Centauri as a nice getaway spot to the two, Aziraphale looks at him and he gets it. That Crowley has loved him, has been loving him for millennia. Truthfully, they've both known that for a long while now. But there's a difference between knowing, wanting, craving and actually being able to finally have something. And that's exactly what we see on Aziraphale's face here. This is it. This is where it all starts working out for Crowley and him. This is were they can start their eternity together.

So from that second on, Aziraphale only has eyes for Crowley. He keeps physically pawing at Crowley with complete heart eyes, as if to say „Look, look, that’s gonna be us too! Finally!" He’s actually so smitten that he doesn’t even hear what Crowley is saying when he asks Shax if he can have back his apartment now because he’s sick of living in his car. (Also, what way to drop that bomb right in this moment Crowley, lmao). 

Once the Metatron comes in, the first thing Aziraphale says is that they don’t need to talk because „he’s made his position quite clear“. He doesn’t even want to talk to the Metatron, because in his mind, he’s already made the choice. Actually, he made the choice way before the bookshop showdown. For starters, I’m convinced that the Jane Austen Ball actually never was for Maggie and Nina but for Crowley and him (you can read more about that here). And apart from that, for this whole season we have seen Aziraphale trying to advance his relationship with Crowley romantically and domestically and move them to the literal next base (our car!). And after everything he just witnessed with Brielzebub, the final nail in the coffin of ethereal-infernal romance being possible, his choice is absolutely crystal clear: It’s Crowley. It’s always been Crowley and it always will be Crowley. And now it can be Crowley. They can be an us.

The whole of Season 2 is such a massive learning curve for Aziraphale’s character, with him remembering all those important pivotal points of his past,  and this very moment is the peak, with him not only understanding that Crowley loves him (because he certainly knew for quite some centuries now) but accepting that love, letting himself have that love, being allowed to want that love and taking that love and starting their new and final chapter with it. Nevertheless, the plot clock ticks for them. The Metatron saunters into the bookshop, evil and stinky as Metatrons do, and urges Aziraphale to come with him with his whole Take The Coffee schtick, which I will get into later. And Aziraphale, immediately sensing there’s Something Up, does. Can’t really turn down someone as high-ranking as the the voice of God, after all. Even if you were currently already planning how you were going to elope with a certain red-haired serpent of Eden. 

he next time we see Aziraphale on screen, it’s so painfully evident on his face that he is neither happy nor excited. Not even the slightest bit. We’d know if he was, thanks to Mr. Michael master-of-microexpressions Sheen. None of the usual “Aziraphale is happy”-signs are there. No blinding eye-smile, no giddy wriggling, not giggles and gasps. No, when the Metatron tells Aziraphale to „go tell your friend the good news“, his expression looks like this:

I’m gonna go out on an entire limb here and say: That does not look like someone who’s absolutely tickety-boo hyped to tell his demon soulmate that he just got the juiciest promotion and that they can both be angels and live happily ever after in ethereal eternity now.

This, folks, looks like someone who knows exactly that the news he has to break right now, are going to be tickety-shit awful and very upsetting to said demon soulmate. And already, from that very short snippet of conversation, we can tell that Aziraphale isn’t really given a choice by the Metatron. Because while the Metatron does tell him that he doesn’t have to „answer right away“, he immediately follows it up by: „Go ahead and tell your friend the good news!“ Very distinct and definitive choice of words here. It’s “good news” because it’s already been decided. Because it’s already a done deal. There is no “yes, no, maybe”. This is the only choice he’s giving to Aziraphale. Because it’s ‘Coffee or death’. 

And he already gave him the coffee. 

***

Tumblr won't let me continue this over a certain character limit and I am not even remotely done yet – so, I feel like this is a good moment to redirect you to the continuation of this insane meta before we're in too deep. You can do so right here!

I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions about this once you've fought your way through it. Hope you have a good time with it!

Aziraphale attempting to spread the gospel

Hello! ^^ Have you heard about our Lord and Savior today? *Pulls out a piece of paper and hands it over*

*The person, baffled, looking at a picture of Crowley* 🤨

*Aziraphale peeks at the paper to see what that expression is all about. Then grabs it in a panic* Oh! No- Not that one! That's- *rummages through his other papers and it's all Crowley somehow* NEVERMINDHAVEANICEDAY

He never tried that again.

[agoodpairofsocks]

Next season I want Crowley to sneak into Heaven only to find that the lights have all been changed to a warm yellow, all the angels are working together in the same room (and they're all wearing different colors), there's like a pool table in the middle of the room or something, and suggestion boxes covered in glitter everywhere, Aziraphales going from desk to desk saying stuff like "Good work!" "Brilliant :D" and the Metatron is stumbling around looking c o m p l e t e l y overwhelmed.

[mitski-leaked]

good omens bingo

just thought ab that one post on how the ineffables never look at eo in any of the promo photos, only away/past eo,,,, makes my tummy hurt so bad i hope s3 promo makes them look in the EYE. THAT is my go3 bingo entry for today.

like helloo!!!! this isnt even all iof them im just clawing at mhy face about it at this point,,,

[bildads-shoes]

I guess falling doesn't make much sense as a punishment anymore, because Heaven and Hell both seem pretty set on having another war, so making angels fall is essentially giving more power to the opposition, right?

But if falling doesn't happen anymore, that doesn't seem well-publicised: Aziraphale assumed he would fall in Uz era, and even in the modern day Gabriel assumed he'd be cast down to Hell as his punishment. But we haven't actually seen / heard about it happening since the Great War - the only punishments have been memory wipes and Hellfire (which presumably also can't be carried out en masse otherwise Heaven's forces would be diminished and weakened).

If falling does indeed no longer happen, I wonder if the lack of awareness about it - to the extent that even the Supreme Archangel didn't know - is deliberate. I wonder if the Book of Life is still just a made-up fear tactic, just as it was when they used it to frighten the cherubs. I wonder if realising that Heaven physically cannot punish or control them could be an important element in a potential future uprising.

[ineffable-nerd]

A non-exhaustive list of things I want from Season 3 of Good Omens

Aziraphale should get to be the one to grab and pull Crowley closer to him (be that into a kiss or just to do it) instead of Crowley doing it to Aziraphale

Aziraphale to pull the flaming sword on someone (Metatron preferably but maybe in a misplaced bit of anger Crowley? 👀)

All the humans from the first season. I need to see Adam and the Them and Anathema and Newt and maybe even Madame Tracy and Shadwell

A badass fight sequence in Heaven, preferably with Aziraphale and Crowley fighting back to back against demons and angels. Would it fit the pacing of the show as seen thus far? Absolutely not. Would it be bitching? Of course it would

A Hozier song. I don't care which one (that's a lie they should play Like Real People Do) but I need to hear a song of his in the actual show because seeing Take Me to Church on Crowley's playlist gave me psychic damage but hearing it would make me explode

If they kiss again in s3 I want for them to kiss and Crowley immediately to say something stupid like "vavoom" cuz he's so surprised by it

I'll be adding on to this as I think of stuff

[wee-snek]

You know what flashback I really want to see in Season 3? The time between lockdown and the start of Season 2.

I want to see what their new normal was.

The increased use of “we” and “us” in conversation. The fact that Crowley is less put off by being called ‘good’. The “the last few years, not really”. Show us those last few years.

Honestly, I would LOVE to have S3 open with quiet, gentle and romantic days in, like, 2022. Show us relaxed Crowley with his glasses off, and Aziraphale not being nervous for like 5 whole minutes. Show us increased casual touches, more lingering smiles. Crowley falling asleep in the bookshop and Aziraphale covering him with a tartan blanket.

And then immediately post-credits cut to shots of them separately in Heaven and Hell, alone, scared and miserable.

Can’t think of a more compelling way to start off.

[creapysummer]

Crowley as the new Duke of Hell: I mean, Supreme Archangel Aziraphale, what the hell? not saying he can't do it, but as a concept? disgusting. revolting. absolutely nasty business. the moment I see his eyes flash purple I'm throwing up

Aziraphale, actually having a Thing for seeing Crowley in charge, ordering the demons around:

[l3sbianomens]

I've made myself a Good Omens season 3 bingo card of things I want or things I'm predicting to file away and see how many I get right down the line! Leaving a blank in case anyone sees this and wants to make one :)

[nolsaesthetic]

GUYS, I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING.

So, during season 2, it was pretty obvious that Maggie and Nina were supposed to be mimicking Crowley and Aziraphale. They even go so far as to have Crowley and Aziraphale attempt to make them fall in love in the ways they did/do: Crowley with the rain and Aziraphale with the cotilleon balls. But what about the foreshadowing???

In episode six, as Nina and Maggie are advising Crowley to talk to Aziraphale, they explain how they are going about their own relationship. They weren't quite ready to date just yet, but they acknowledged their feelings for one another and promised to give it a shot when they're ready. Specifically, once Nina is ready.

Now look at Aziraphale and Crowley. They VERY haphazardly talked about some feelings, but Aziraphale didn't respond the way we all wanted him to. It sure as Hell wasn't as calm or comforting as Nina's, but what if Aziraphale just needs time. Like Nina, he is still caught up with his past connections (relationship with Heaven), but still wanted Crowley to be a part of that. And when he gets back from that, which I'm crossing my fingers doesn't take too long, he will be able to be with Crowley.

Though what I fear is that he won't be forgiven, that Crowley will be too hurt, and it'll take years for them to grow the same connection they once had. Which is entirely valid to do, but it still breaks my heart. It just makes me think of when Nina explains that when she is finally ready to be with Maggie, Maggie might have moved on, and she will have to be okay with that.

I don't know if any of that made sense or if it was obvious in the show, and im just dense, but I'm simultaneously really happy, scared, and sad right now.
