When we go back into those stories set within Aziraphale and Crowley's personal history, there are moments within those stories where their relationship sort of pivots or develops in some way. Himself and Aziraphale, I think, rely on each other even more in season two, than they did in season one, because they are by necessity, and by circumstance they're a double act nobody else can join.
Screaming, crying, rolling on the floor
And that relationship, it needed, it needed interrogating more
Crazy, I was crazy once
And always in twos which was joyous because the characters in my mind only exist in relation to each other. They are the yin and the yang.
Please, PLEASE just let them get married and spare me a little bit of sanity...
Viggo merely grunted, barely acknowledging Lio's greeting and comment as he took his place next to the Egyptian demigod at the firing range. He was not fond of guns but he trained with them religiously in order to stay in shape. He had finally found somebody on the island (not Irelia) that he could actually tolerate to spend time with. It helped that their backgrounds were similar he supposed.
He placed the muffs on his ears even as he loaded his pistol, still not acknowledging Lio's early comment. After a few shots, he side-eyed his friend. "And you look like you crawled out of some chick's bed." He shot another round of bullets at the target. "And loved it." He added with a smirk. Viggo saw no need to explain he was still pissed Irelia was keeping her ass out of Mount Phoenix, obviously tempting him to track her down.
The thing about Goldric is that they are both Menaces(tm). Like it all started because it was hilarious the look in Amity's face whenever they got too friendly with eachother or joke flirted so they just kept it up for their own entretaiment until then one day, when Amity accepted this was her life now and that y'know what? She's fine with this, and they just. don't have a reason to flirt anymore so then, why can't they stop doing it?? anyways before they realize it they are boyfriends and now Amity has to deal with their actual honest to god love sick glances they give eachother.
The whole ‘classically-trained mage vs feral mage’ post going around cracks me up because Heron and Jinana normally would be like that - Clockwork Souls are trained to become Justicars in the land of Heron’s ancestry, and Wild Magic sorcerers that make it to adulthood without exploding themselves are considered to be a dangerous and inherently-unstable threat.
So Jinana is actually both - a terrifying force of primal chaos that has all the benefits of a classical magician’s education (RIP Master Borgia’s atrium a few times tho). There may actually have never been someone quite like this, because it also took the influence of hir diametric opposite (and some would say natural enemy) to give her the unprecedented amount of control over hir power that s/he has.
S/he primarily uses that power to make dick potions ig lmao
Okay, so for those of you who remember, I was working on a Top Gun: Maverick AU a few months ago, one I was super super excited about because the fic practically wrote itself in my head as I watched the movie. While my primary focus has always been the Idolverse, this AU really helped with my bouts of writer's block and was overall really fun to design and write.
I was going to wait until the whole fic was complete to post it, but now it's pretty clear that it'll be too long for just one, so I'm considering posting it as a three-part series. The first one is done and just needs one round of basic editing - the rest will be written alongside my regular fics.
I know Top Gun, despite being a cult classic, is a bit of a niche AU (but then again, so are OC fics). It's still a passion project for me, though, so even if it's not really your cup of tea, I hope you guys will give it a shot. <3
David: Good Omens 2 will be once more unto the breach...
Michael: The kind of world that Neil and Terry Pratchett created here. It's... it seems to be expanding out into the world in all kinds of unexpected and and truly joyful ways.
Douglas Mackinnon (the directior): If Season one was a comedy about the End of the World, Season Two is a comedy about the beginning of everything else.
Miranda Richardson (demon Shax): The Bromance is continuing.
Doon Mackichan (Archangel Michael): What a cast, is all I can say, incredible, incredible cast.
Liz Carr (angel Saraqael): But of course a script of Good Omens is a whole different thing because anything can happen.
Shelley Con (Prince of Hell Beelzebub): There's always a smirk somewhere around the corner in a Good Omens script.
Quelin Sepulveda (angel Muriel): I had no idea what to expect, where this character was gonna go...
Liz: I feel quite honored that when they were thinking of the realms of sarcasm they thought of me.
Gloria Obianyo (angel Uriel): Seven-year-old me is like, 'Oh my God! This is the stuff of dreams!'
Maggie Service (human Maggie): A whole Fantastical Universe of joy that we just get to playing and you'll get to watch.
Tim Downie (Mr Brown): I am immeasurably, immeasurably excited.
Jon Hamm (Archangel Gabriel / Jim): You know I was very pleased when when I was brought back to be a part of that story.
Neil Gaiman: Ppeople are excited and I'm working so hard to tell them absolutely nothing. I'm very lucky because Michael Sheen and David Tennant love Crowley and Aziraphale. I think the first moment that I saw David and Michael acting together... all of a sudden there was Crowley and there was Aziraphale, it was like seeing two friends who I hadn't seen for years.
David: There's something about the way Neil sees the mundane that is extraordinary and there's something about the way things filter through his imagination and of course in this world it also sprinkled with the imagination of Terry Pratchett and those two together created this cocktail that is it's unlike anything you've seen anywhere else and yet it feels utterly familiar.
Michael: And they both have a sense of the absurdity of what it is to be a human.
Rob Wilkins: When you've got David and Michael in front of the camera David and Michael evaporate and you have Crowley in Aziraphale and that relationship it needed it needed interrogating more and of course we all know that Terry and Neil had conversations about what the sequel would be and Neil has taken that and he's blown it up in a way that the viewers are just going to love so what would Terry think? Terry would pat Neil on the back and he would push Good Omens forward, he would break a bottle of champagne over its bows and be absolutely delighted and I know that, I'm the one person on Earth who's been entrusted to know that for certain and I promise you Terry would be absolutely delighted.
David: We've got some cast members coming back, returning but playing different parts which is a lovely little addition to things isn't it, so Miranda Richardson is back not playing the same role as Season One, she's now Shax, my replacement - Crowley's replacement on Earth.
Neil: Shelley Conn came in as Beelzebub and it feels in a weird way kind of like a Doctor Who Regeneration. We have a new demon called Furfur played by Rheece Shearsmith who was our Shakespeare in Season One.
David: Nina and Maggie were two of the Sisters in Season One, The nunnery of Doom, and now they are two characters imaginatively called Nina and Maggie.
Maggie: In season one really it was just me and the nuns, it was the nun gang, so to actually get to meet Aziraphale and Crowley... I hadn't been prepared for how delightful Aziraphale is.
Neil: Season Two begins about threem four years after the events of Season One.
Michael: Aziraphale and Crowley now are, you know, out on their own, they're.. they're a team to themselves.
Neil: Everything changes when Aziraphale gets an unexpected visitor.
Michael: A familiar face comes along with a mystery that needs solving and as Aziraphale and Crowley attempt to solve that mystery they realize that there are much more terrifying things ahead than they've had to deal with in the past. That involves having to go back through history as well to get clues as to what might be going on.
David: When we go back into these stories set within Aziraphale and Crowley's personal history there are moments within those stories where where their relationships sort of pivots or develops in some way. Himself and Aziraphale I think rely on each other even more in season two than they did in Season One because they are by necessity and by circumstance they're a they're a double act that nobody else can join.
Michael: It's extraordinary to see how important these characters and this story have become to a lot of people and how much people enjoy expressing themselves through art, through fan fiction.
David: I went to a Comic-Con and the amount of Crowleys and Aziraphales that I saw everywhere, the cosplaying just took off, and always in twos, which was joyous because of course the characters in my mind only exist in relation to each other. They are the Ying and the Yang.
Michael: It's such a... I think it's such a compliment and I think Neil feels the same way as well.
Maggie: Always clever Neil Gaiman, isn't he?
Nina: Yeah yeah, you'd have to sort of admit that at some point, yeah-
