Enjoyed seeing the 'fight'? Hopefully, it was entertaining enough for you.

I am... mildly irritated. Its a waste... though I know I have no choice in the matter of the fight.

Neil is a liar!

Good evening, I have a quick question. How often did you have to film the kissing scene until it you got the scene we saw in ep6?

Only once. And it took a lot less time than we had planned, because it was meant to have had a complicated camera move but once we had shot it the first time we realized that the complicated version would not be needed.

From the Neil Gaiman: Dream Dangerously 🥺❤ (you can watch it here in US or with US vpn :) <3) (or just this bit on youtube here :))

Neil Gaiman: I miss him most when I get stuck. You know, I'll just be working on something and I'll go, "Oh, this isn't quite it," and all I want to do is just call Terry, tell him what's going on and have him say, "Ah, grasshopper, the answer is there in the question." And I'd go, "Oh, for fuck's sake, Terry, just tell me."

Andrew looks at Kevin after the game against the Trojans.

"How does it feel?" He asks Kevin.

"Losing is not pleasant for anyone," says Kevin.

"Sorry," Andrew says without meaning it at all. "I wanted to say, how does it feel to know that Monsieur Misérable and Mr. Golden Smile are fucking together and have agreed to beat you up?"

Kevin turns to him with a growing bad mood.

"They're not having sex."

"D'Artagnan hit you too hard with the racket. You don't know what you're saying."

"They're not having sex, Andrew!"

"New bet then. I say that France conquers California before the end of the year... In two months if Monsieur Trauma takes care of his shit."

"...Jeremy has never told me he's gay."

Andrew remains silent. He turns his head towards Kevin very very slowly.

"300 dollars."

"We're not going to bet on this..."

"500 dollars."

"Why are you so happy to do this?"

"What do you mean, Kevin? I'm a very happy man."

It's impossible to tell if Andrew is joking with that unflappable expression.

And so the betting returns to the Foxes.

yeah, good omens is a story about the characters, not about what i sometimes think of as game mechanics.

I don't think the notion that Maggie and Nina resisted Aziraphale's "hypnosis" just because Aziraphale was sort of tired is a boring one. I'm interested in the idea that he was tired, stressed, having trouble focusing. And I'm interested in the idea that humans normally don't offer a lot of resistance to suggestion (something that makes a lot of both Terry and Neil's writing extremely funny on a regular basis, and something that rings true based on my experiences with humans). It's not a complicated explanation. But it's likeable. To me.

Of course, something conspiratorial could still be going on. That's not something a writer would be likely to give away at this stage. But I tend to like the psychological/emotional explanations for things. It increases the realness of the characters.

kinda thinking about neil's gunshot and how we don't hear it. totally silent. it reminds of the "if a tree falls in the woods" question. neil dying alone in the middle of his father's study.

and it's such a loud weapon, too, which makes it seem all the more intentional that it was cut out. in his last moments he went out with a bang, but nearly no one hears it.

even before the night of the play: his friends and keating independently told him to just talk, and perhaps he'll get what he wants — but he knows that's impossible. no one else truly understood. they didn't really hear him.

just like rebelling against his father to be in the play: did it matter if he was found out anyway? he knew when he was caught that it was over no matter what. does his death mean anything if the only one to hear the shot was the very same man who controlled every aspect of his life?

if neil falls and no one is around to hear the gunshot, did he contribute a verse?

guys, imagine there’s andrew. on his one side is aaron, and on the other is neil. there are guns trained on both of them. they go off at the same time. andrew can save only one of them

I was casually browsing Older GO asks (and answers!) from Neil Gaiman’s inbox by krakensdottir when

According to Neil, angel doesn't know the Bible by heart, but he knows regency romance books, "he most complete treatise ever written on sleight-of-hand coin conjuring", and the entirety of A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard's work. Help.

Hand it to me. He glares sternly at them.

lol, i love that in good omens universe, the church is something heaven sort of rolls its eyes at, like "now what are they up to?"

Is there anything like purgatory in good omens?

Thanks :)

I don't think so. By the time Purgatory became Catholic doctrine in 1274 Heaven and Hell already had everything set up the way they liked it and neither of them were prepared to take on the extra work of running a third place.

For the sillies, I raise you Nicky Hemmick has a vine account. Stay with me

What he usually does is he just goes around and asks the monsters their opinion on pop culture stuff. And let's say for this post's sake that both vine and omegaverse was created earlier in the 2000s rather than the 2010s.

One day he posts a vine asking Kevin "are you an alpha, beta or omega?" And Kevin is like ???? "Like the greek alphabet? Probably a Kappa, since I'm Kevin" cut to a picture of Kevin from a photoshoot with the biggest celebrity smile on and the words 'KAPPA' and underneath in smaller letters 'he's Kevin'

Next victim is Aaron. Nicky asks, Aaron looks annoyedly at him and says "I'm ym", "What's ym?", "your mo-" video cuts to an edited picture of Aaron looking like he's pregnant next to a small Nicky (only Nicky hasn't used a baby picture, he's just shrank a picture of himself as an adult), caption reads "OMEGA"

Nicky gets brave so he goes and asks Andrew who is just minding his own business. Nicky asks the question and Andrew responds with "I'm carrying" and makes a move to take out a knife from his sleeve. Cut to a blurry photo of Nicky running for his life, Andrew in the distance with a sharp and shiny object in his hands, caption reads "We'll be right back with our regular programing"

Last vine from Nicky is Neil. He's fixing his racquet or sth, Nicky asks "Are you an alpha, Beta or omega?" "What?", Nicky repeats the question, Neil is obviously not paying attention so he says "the first one?" cut to an edited picture of Neil in a forest, the full moon behind him and 'ALPHA?' on screen.

Other teams start copying the trend, Cat post's a vine asking Jean the same question but it's Jean after practice, "is this one of your kink-" jump cut and we can hear Cat saying "Just answer the question". Jean looks deadeyed at her standing behind the camera "I am tired of your incomprehensible american lingo is what I am". Cut to a still of Jean, a cigarrete edited on his mouth and a beret on his head, and the word 'FRENCH' in cursive.

The vines go viral. No one is happier than Nicky and no one is more miserable than Kevin whose KAPPA , he's Kevin, reaches worldwide audiences.

Following in @lemmiart ‘s footsteps, I drew the thing in my book 🥺 My friend said this was blasphemous but I plan on dying with this book in my arms, and it makes me happy so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
