Not too mention the movie’s poster, in color, which is always lovely to see.

There’s also a colorized version of the movie available online if you’re willing to hunt for it.

🤍 GOOD OMENS 2 SPOILERS 🖤

Returning to Tumblr for the first time in years because I have no idea where else to put this, but I just finished Good Omens 2 a few days ago and while scrolling through tik tok content I realized something.

This

Was not their first meeting….

(We all know that now.)

This was

However, Aziraphale didn’t recognize Crowley at Eden and he had to introduce himself.

It made me wonder - when Crowley was cast out of heaven, was everyone made to forget him? And if that’s the case, was he forced to keep his memories because the angels knew it’d be more painful for him? When Gabriel is demoted they mention removing his memories of his time as Archangel “as a kindness”. So if someone really wanted Crowley to suffer, would they force him to keep every last one of those memories? Including the memory of meeting Aziraphale. Meaning he recognized Aziraphale in Eden immediately, and had that moment to process that Aziraphale didn’t remember him. That could also explain why he felt comfortable enough to strike up a conversation with Aziraphale on the wall and attempted to joke with him about the two messing things up. Because in his mind this is a friendly face who knew him before his fall. The one angel who didn’t shoot down his questions.

I get it could just be a matter of “well it’s been a few years, and you can’t expect everyone to remember every person they meet” blah blah blah… but watching the Eden scene back, the way Crowley looks at him just feels bittersweet to me. Like he knows they’ve met before, and that hurts, but he didn’t like that version of himself anyway. So maybe meeting like this is better.

This does open up more questions about the finale though when Aziraphale says it’ll be “like the good old days”, but maybe he’s thinking of only his own time in heaven and assuming Crowley must’ve done the same enjoyable low level jobs he did, and he doesn’t actually means “like our good old days”.

I guess it’s also possible Aziraphale did remember him and was attempting to be kind by having him introduce himself (a sort of “I can see you’ve been through something traumatic - so what would you like to be called by?”) But it feels unlikely considering it seems like Aziraphale’s go-to phrase when he sees someone he’s met before is “Ah! You again!”

I don’t know. It’s possible I’m overthinking and over analyzing the scene from an acting perspective. It’s possible I missed something in the show that proves Aziraphale remembers the actual first time the met. It’s also possible all of this could be answered in the book (which unfortunately I haven’t read yet since my copy was stolen and I haven’t been able to grab another, so forgive me if that’s the case), but it was one of those things I needed to share somewhere.

Thank you for reading my 3am ramblings, and stay ineffable loves ✨

“People are saying mask-wearing might become a seasonal practice” God I hope so I’m tired of getting breathed on every flu season and honestly they’re kind of fashionable.

What is or isn't a slur can be highly contextual, y'all.

"Jonny Sims bummed a fag off my ma" doesn't contain a slur, but "What are you, some kind of fag?" does.

"Queer studies", "the queer community" and "I'm queer"? Not a slur. Some bigot calling you a "dirty queer"? Slur.

"Be gay, do crimes" and "He's gay" ≠ slur, but "Ew, that's so gay" = slur.

In conclusion, stop buying into this fucking "q slur" bullshit. Queer people talking about the queer community aren't using it as a slur any more than a gay man calling himself gay is using that term as a slur.

Redbubble is such a ripoff for the artists who use it.

a $38 dollar hoodie is only getting the artist TWO DOLLARS in profits after redbubble takes their share. They’re printing art that people spend hours of their lives creating on mass produced clothes of very basic quality that probably cost them very little to get, and the artist isn’t even getting a third of the profits.

How to fake sleep: a guide for actors and people with strict parents

1.) breathe slowly. Very slowly and deeply

2.) Squeeze your eyes tighter than you’d think, but don’t use your eyebrows too much

3.) Move your eyes under your eyelids

4.) If you need to wake up, open your eyes with a TINY inhale, then lift your head and body and get going.

5.) Phone away from your hands. Preferably under the blanket

6.) Just in case a parent tries to rip off your blanket, wrap the side closest to the edge of the bed around your arm, or tuck it underneath your arm.

People on my other social media appreciated this so I thought I’d share.
