Oh hey my new favorite thing.

THANK YOU @neil-gaiman!

What’s your favourite line from good omens?

The invisible and unbreakable one that joins Crowley and Aziraphale.

[wrengrif]

He’s not my friend. We’ve never met before. We don’t even know each other.

I think you should get on with the play.

[wrengrif]

Don't get existential crisis on us.

Remember, the most important line is THE UNBREAKABLE ONE between Crowley and Aziraphale.

(thank you neil)

I'm just curious but it goes without saying that if for whatever reason you'd rather not answer just ignore this.

I've got very few blogs I receive notifications from and for two of these quite often ( but not always) I receive notifications only moments apart. So, really just curiosity, is one of you mods also a mod in another aziraphalian blog?

Much love to you all and thank you for your badtakery! ❤️

You’re onto us.

Recently, at great expense, I enlisted the help of a shadowy network of operatives who I was assured were competent, discreet, and reliable. I was informed they were primarily overseen by bloggers Major Saucepan, Tin, Milk, and Cupboard, and Captain Smith, Smith, Smith, Smythe, and Ditto. But these are, as I recently discovered to my dismay, all aliases for one person, who has been grotesquely overcharging me for his help and is not familiar with even the basics of online identity protection. Possibly this all somehow traces back to the army of rats that occasionally does odd jobs for me. At this point I’m not entirely sure myself. I started taking on more help for this blog and after that everything just spiraled out of control.

I don’t know what’s real anymore.

Even Neil Gaiman isn’t real now, they tell me.

Maybe nothing is real.

MY FRIEND IN MURIEL.

YES. This!

HOLY CRAP what if that ridiculous conversation between Nina and Maggie was a red herring to make us think that Crowley was too preoccupied with "Oh my gosh I have to declare my feelings right now" to think about anything else, and distract us from the fact that Crowley actually DID pick up on how stressed-out Aziraphale was and figure out whatever weirdness was going along, and actually said and did all the things he needed to do in that scene?

Been watching Dead Boy Detectives for 30 whole seconds, and I have already decided that -

One of the best opening sequences EVER.

These boys are ADORABLE.

HORRIFYING DEMON NAMED DAVID. Ffffffffft.

... they're like ghost aziraphale and crowley seriously i cannot step away from good omens ever.

[wrengrif]

OH MY GOSH beautiful!

Cain and Abel. From SANDMAN and HOUSE OF MYSTERY. Brush and ink.

[wrengrif]

Golly I know this isn't real but don't take the babies away...

an update on neilbot's pregnancy that no one asked for

THINGS ARE HAPPENING. @thearoacemess IS ACCUSING ALL MAGGOTS OF NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT REPTILE PREGNANCIES AND SAYING THAT NEIL HAS A TUMOUR.

NEIL IS EXPERIENCING PREGNANCY MOOD SWINGS.

NO ONE IS SURE WHETHER HE IS PREGNANT WITH BABIES OR WITH EGGS.

ACCUSATIONS HAVE BEEN FLYING FROM AARON OF ME AND @random-doctor-on-the-internet, NEIL'S PARENTS, NOT TEACHING HIM ABOUT PROTECTION.

I THEN DEMANDED WHY @anadyomena AND @ivory--raven, PARENTS OF HAMPTER (@smspikyhampster) WHO IMPREGNATED NEIL THROUGH THE POWER OF GOD OR SOMETHING, DIDN'T TEACH HIM ABOUT PREGNANCY.

MAE IS ATTEMPTING TO DO RESEARCH ON THE DNA. NEIL IS AFRAID FOR HIS BABIES.

RAY HAS NOW GIVEN UP THE CASE. TENSIONS ARE RUNNING HIGH IN MY COURT.

@achilles-in-a-blanket-burrito HAS ENTERED. KIT SEEMS TO BEHIND ON THE EVENTS. HE IS DEMANDING CLARIFICATION. HAMPTER CLAIMS THERE IS A POLL ON HIS TUMBLR DECIDING WHETHER IT'S EGGS OR LIVE BIRTH.

DON'T DO PREGNANCY BETWEEN CLASS REPTILIA AND CLASS MAMMALIA KIDS IT'S NOT WORTH IT POOR NEIL.

[wrengrif]

….I’d write it.

hunger games au where aziraphale lives in the capitol and he’s reaped for the quarter quell (capitol teenager paired with past winner where both have to survive) only he’s not a teenager he’s 50 and his name was submitted over 1 million times because everyone hates him

[wrengrif]

You know what we haven't done for awhile?

That's right. It's WHAT IF time.

Okay, but let me preface this What If with saying, I don't believe in the coffee theory. That it was poisoned or held some mystical juice or whatever. I believe Aziraphale went to Heaven because one, he really didn't have a choice and two, he thinks there is some way to really turn Heaven around. To make it an actual Good Place.

However ... I have read some compelling theories lately about not taking the Final Fifteen at face value and I got to say, it's gotten me to wondering.

I keep coming back to Neil and the other Good Omen creators saying, nothing in the story is accidental. Which got me thinking about themes. Themes that interwoven all throughout Season 2, emphasized in the background. One of the main themes was, in fact, subterfuge.

Hiding Gabriel from Heaven and Hell.

Saving Job's children.

The bullet catch, the photograph, the 'magical words' caught being lipped through a shop window.

Even Edinburgh, where they pulled a couple of flim-flams on the surgeon and on Elspeth. If Season One was about the power of them coming together, Season Two was about their ability to out-smart both Heaven and Hell on multiple occasions. Not always perfectly, as seen by Crowley getting dragged back down to Hell, or in fact the entire Armageddon plan.

The point is though, that Crowley and Aziraphale are old hands at subterfuge. They were able to carry on a friendship, for over 6000 years, without getting caught by Heaven or Hell (note, I don't think they pulled a fast one on God. I'm pretty sure She knows and she's all for it. Number one shipper, Her.) They trust each other, implicitly.

So, when the Final Fifteen happened ... how are we to know that they weren't already communicating on an entirely different level? What they said, I have no real proof. However, I do think that Crowley and Aziraphale perhaps knew, from the get-go, that they were saying good-bye to one another. That Aziraphale was going to try and fix the problem from the inside, not Heaven itself per say, but the issue of them finally being free of Heaven and Hell so they could be together.

The whole fight was Crowley not arguing with Aziraphale about 'taking a new job', but instead about Aziraphale going alone. Begging Aziraphale not to go into the lion's den, that they could figure out a different way together, there, on Earth. Escape the Metatron, regroup, make up a plan. Aziraphale knew, though, that they were being watched and there was no way for them to get out of the Bookshop without both being destroyed. They went through the motions of fighting about one thing, while fighting about something else entirely.

They nearly made it through the whole fight within a fight, until Crowley cracked. He was scared he'd never see Aziraphale again and he had to let his angel know how he felt. Thus, The Kiss. The desperate, 'I love you, don't do this, don't leave me' kiss. Aziraphale kissed back, half-apology, half-confession, 'I love you too, I have to, they'll kill you'. When he pulls back he's mouthing, 'do it again', and he nearly says 'I love you', but says 'I forgive you'. Perhaps, I forgive you for making this even harder for me.

Crowley's mad, to be sure, but he plays it to the hilt. 'Don't bother'. 'No nightingales', perhaps code letting Aziraphale know not to to contact him until they knew it was safe, really safe. He walks out the door and then stands by The Bentley. Another message letting Aziraphale know he'll be there, on Earth, waiting. Aziraphale pausing, perhaps mouthing, 'Trust me', before disappearing into the elevator with the Metatron.

Honestly, this is all conjecture, but What If? What if they're already playing Nefertiti and the three shell game? Look here, at Aziraphale, but don't look over here, to see what Crowley is doing. Magic! Smoke and mirrors!

Aim for my mouth, but shoot past my ear.

What if?

(Note, NO ONE SHARE THIS WITH NEIL GAIMAN. This is just brain thoughts. Leave the man to his creative process and don't fuck with him.)

Feral Crowley? Mmmmm Feral Crowley.

so david tennant will be going straight from macbeth to crowley huh damn

[wrengrif]

Always, always reblog duck omens.

Haven't drawn duck omens in awhile so I just wanted to quickly draw the innefable ducks sitting on their bench

[wrengrif]

isn't it insane though how schizophrenic people are viewed as violent and dangerous by the majority of society when in reality schizophrenic people are nearly 14 times more likely to be on the receiving end of violence than to be the perpetrators...
