My fantasy/headcanon for the end of GO3 is Aziraphale and Crowley in the garden of their cottage on the South Downs, it is possible to see that the plants are not the most perfect and it is clear that this was where Crowley secretly carry the plants that he pretended to 'kill' (perhaps implied that South Downs Cottage was always his property, and is now theirs) … … they are talking about whether everything that happened (on GO3 plot) was part of some God's plan, and whether they would never know since "the plan is… " and an unknown person, outside the wooden fence of their property, complete it with "ineffable", and would be implied to the audience that this person is God. But before the Ineffable Husbands realize this, it's raining, but in fact it's just the garden sprayer, and they forget the person instantly and and shelter each other of water with their arms (something simulating like when they protected each other from the rain with their wings once [from the rain of stars and the rain in Eden]) as they running to the entrance of the house smiling, so they kiss sheltered on the balcony (this time in a totally adorable, cute and reciprocal way that makes us forget that kiss from S2) while Bentley, parked in a garden area, plays A Nightingale Sang… (and everything is played in very cute and captivating ways). Yes, somewhat similar to that scene from Aziraphale and Crowley's final arc in the book (with that person in the park who says "ineffable" to them, and for a moment they seem like they're going to reach the inevitable conclusion, until they forget everything about it). And that's precisely why I imagine the ending of GO3 like this 😸

{P.s: but considering this is my headcanon, then that won't happen. I'm terrible at guessing the plot and knowing what's going to happen in TV shows and/or movies. And, well, maybe that was a bit too cliché, right?}

How is it actually possible to be so fucking pretty

[anneangel]

Oh yes, I totally agree❤️ having this on screen is more than desired by many of us (Crowley's downfall, his rank, his angelic name. I love origin stories and now I fear I won't get one in the sequel). I would also like a scene, subtle, where shows him replanting the plants with "imperfections" (in a public garden? In a some place in South Downs? Wherever! But that it shows on screen. And I fear I won't get that in the sequel either).

Having such high expectations for GO sequel scares me.

@hyperfixating-rn-brb P.S.: How I never seen this art before? Oh, it's heartbreaking.

One of my favorites Crowley HeadCanons :

He treats his plants as a way he was treated in Heaven and when he fell.

(Bonus point : It's the exact same thing they told him before his fall)

Hold a minute, what you mean it's a "Headcanon?" I was sure it was Canon: the name "Fear of God/err Fear of Crowley" is already very suggestive. There is also a suggestion in the book that Hell sometimes treats him like this. So I see this as totally Canon! The way he treats plants is a coping mechanism, the plants are a metaphor for Crowley's fear of Heaven/Hell. We can't know if they said exactly those things, but we know that's how he interpreted whatever Heaven and Hell do/did to him. It's even sadder, because regardless of whether they said it or not, that's how it registered in his mind. And as a defense he terrorizes his plants on the idea that "the desire of the oppressed is to be the oppressor": The way he tries to deal with this is do to the plants what Heaven/Hell did to him.

I think that's why I so want a scene where he doesn't actually destroy the plants, that he takes them to another place of peace and benign rest. This would show that, psychologically, all the terror he went through in Heaven/Hell (and put the plants through) was just an "acting" and how much he hopes that after all the fear, something good would come out of his attempts to 'do his best'. That even if he hadn't been as "excellent/perfect" as he was asked to be, they (Heaven/Hell) would still give him some mercy in the end (how he bestowed the plants).

Aziraphale is not "bad". He is clearly suffering and that is noticeable to anyone (or so I suppose).

But, in the same way that Crowley is sad about the whole situation (and about Aziraphale's choice), the audience felt the same way (ok, I know Crowley would never hate Aziraphale, while some fans condemned him and hated him a lot after that). But, getting to my point: I believe that, for most of us, Aziraphale is not "the bad", it's just that the entire 15 minutes were played to make us feel more empathy for Crowley. He is the one we can identify with the most in the 'lover who declares his affection and is rejected'. Meanwhile, the 15 minutes still have Aziraphale saying that heaven 'is the side of the good guys' (something that would consequently be rejected by Crowley and the audience, who would agree with him in 'Heaven and Hell are toxic').

Its much harder to understand Aziraphale's side when the whole scene is played out in Crowley's favor. Aziraphale ends up coming off as the "poor naive" who leaves his love behind in exchange for trying to make Heaven a more decent place. But Crowley's plan to run away isn't ideal either, it's also naive foolishness. They were both purposely put in a difficult situation, Metatron knew he would separate them by confronting them with a topic they would disagree on: Heaven.

Aziraphale, by saying "Heaven is the good guys' side," claimed to believe in the status quo. As if he believes that Heaven is broken, but can be fixed. But Crowley, by saying that "Heaven and Hell are toxic," doesn't believe they can be fixed, that they are both toxic precisely because it are functioning as it should.

I don't think either Crowley or Aziraphale is wrong, they just have different opinions based on what they believe. They shouldn't have to apologize for that. Aziraphale hurt Crowley, but Crowley also hurt Aziraphale. They're both hurt.

The reaction to Aziraphale was only so antagonistic because, as I said, the audience tends to identify more with Crowley and his idea that "Heaven and Hell are toxic", so they tend to give him more credibility during these last 15 minutes. But he was also wrong in the way he conducted the conversation.

Aziraphale saying that they can both go to Heaven as angels, is like having to accept that there is only Heaven and Hell and they need to join one of them, in the classic "if you can't beat them, join them". On the other hand, Crowley does not believe that it is possible to "join them", he believes that it is only possible to play against the system and outside of it, as an "us".

Only the plot of the sequel will show which one is being wiser (and I really hope the plot doesn't do it in a way that blames and ridicules one of them).

Based on the previous premise, from S1, Aziraphale is usually the one who wants to save the world and Crowley (show Crowley) is the one who thinks about go away, but backs down because of Aziraphale. The show in general shows an angel in love with the world and the things in it (and consequently a demon that lives there) and a demon in love with an angel.

They both ended up saying things, and acting, in ways that hurt each other in S2.

But that happens at least once in a couple's life, doesn't it?

So you see, the second season only separated them to bring them back together in the "sequel" in a more epic way (or so I hope).

P.s: beautiful ART❤️

How can there be people who see Aziraphale as the bad one when they must have seen this scene in the series?! Can't they see how desperate he is and how much he's suffering? It makes absolutly no sense to me that someone can't see this..

Thank you for inspiration @crowleys-hips

Good Omens is a Transformative Work

It has been since the very beginning.

NG (fuck NG) thought of a book plot where a demon finds himself in The Omen movie. But he screws up the baby switch. And the Antichrist grew up as a character in a Richmal Crompton novel. He didn't know what to do with it next. TP offered to buy the story. He changed the demon into a demon and an angel defying their bosses on the earth they both loved. He added his smart whimsy and gave the story a moral core far beyond a silly spoof. When the story was written, queer kids saw themselves in the angel and demon based on the subtext. Because they lived in subtext. Gender fluid and trans readers created stories about an angel and demon for whom gender was a choice depending on how or whether they decided to make an effort. The strangeness of fitting into a planet dominated by beings the angel and demon differed from spoke to neurodivergent readers.

Religious readers found healing after years of struggling to make sense of doctrine divorced from morality. Ace and aro readers saw the deep and meaningful relationship different from romance between a pair together over 6000 years. And tons of horny people from all walks of life poured their hearts into smut that made the most of beings whose bodies allowed for a range of sexual practice that would never be realistic for humans.

People who felt rejected or unloved because they were "too much" or "too little", took solace from an angel who didn't mind the gruffness of the demon who couldn't bear to be cruel. And the demon who liked the angel being a little bit of a bastard. If an angel and demon could care for and accept each other for themselves, perhaps it could happen for them too? This is why the Good Omens fandom is so special. Transformation has been baked into his story from the very beginning. Biblical fan fiction, a collaborative story by two authors, a tv show/movie brought to life by a team of actors, designers, writers... And now also entire worlds of fan fiction and art. Good Omens continues to transform itself and the people who love it. And it will always be ours as we continue to transform it for generations to come.

it’s late at night, it’s like 2:00 am where im from rn, and i just recently finished watching the hobbit/lord of the rings because I suddenly remembered watching this alot as a kid. And holy fucking crap I did not expect to fall in love with Bilbo Baggins… (he might’ve been my childhood crush back then but i don’t remember.)

(i want… actually, no. i NEED this sad middle aged twink ASAP, chat🙏‼️)

[anneangel]

I’m in my annual LOTR/THE HOBBIT marathon mood, It's been a long time since I last drew these two.

[anneangel]

same cute mouth thing

[anneangel]

If I had a nickel for every time an actor was the captain of his own ship, I'd make two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

You look at their faces and realize that they know EXACTLY what they are doing with their respective fandom and you look into their eyes and see that this is not part of the show, this is totally them, them really shipping his character with the other character.

The news in the original media: The third season of Good Omens will have just one 90-minute movie episode. The news in the media in my country: the third season of Good Omens has been CANCELED and will now only have a 90-minute special.

If it's a happy ending Aziracrow (which is what we're all hoping for), you just gave me a SOLID reason to watch the movie GO every time there's a football game, GOall for the rest of my life😅

Ok my lovely human. I know we are pissed, I know we are sad, I know it’s not what we wanted

BUT

We are extremely lucky for having an ending.

And I know that it’s too early but think of how easy will be to have it on your phone and watch it on repeat as many times as you like.

A little bit of maths

You can watch GO s3:

- 16 times in 24 hours

- 1 time on a flight from Rome to València

- 1 time while your beloved partner is watching football (soccer for my English fellow)

- 3 times while making tea (this works only is you have ADHD. True story happened to my roommate, the one with the Damer glasses)

- 5 times if you want to make homemade Italian pizza (I’ll suggest 6 or 7 rewatch but you do you)

So my friends grab a cup of tea and try to think about Michael and David dye hair.
