Reminder: Bryan Fuller never intended Hannibal to be a romance. Hannigram happened organically because the CHARACTERS fell in love and Bryan followed their lead! 😭😭😭

The Magic Trick You Didn’t See: Being An Analysis of Good Omens Season 2

(or: Neil Gaiman, Your Brain is Gorgeous But I Have Cracked Your Sneaky Little Code And Have You Dead To Rights*) (*Maybe)

***

Soooooo I just spent the last 48 hours having a BREATHTAKING GALAXY BRAIN EPIPHANY about Good Omens Season 2 and feverishly writing a fuckin16,000 word essay about the incredible magic trick that @neil-gaiman pulled off. 

Yes, it’s long, but I PROMISE your brains will explode. Do you want to know how magic works? Do you want to know what Metatron’s deal is (I’m like 99% sure of this and it’s EXTREMELY FUCKING GOOD)? Do you want to know about the Mystery of the Vanishing Eccles Cakes and the big fat beautiful clue I found in the opening credits? Do you go through the whole inventory of Chekov’s Firearm & Heavy Artillery Discount Warehouse? 

Here is the essay, go read it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/193IXS11XN46lziHRb6eUpM17yK0BQkRqke1Wh64A_e0/ When ur done u can tell me I’m an insane crackpot, and u know what, i won’t even be offended

In case you don’t know whether you want to bother reading the whole enormous thing on google docs, I’ve put the first couple sections of it under the cut. JUST TRUST ME OKAY, HEAR ME OUT, THIS IS VERY EXTREMELY COOL, NEIL IS GOOD AT HIS JOB–

PSA: bot comments are taking over ao3

The above examples have been provided with the authors' permission to demonstrate what these look like.

Basic rundown:

They are all 3 sentences long

Perfect grammar, capitalization, and punctuation

Like absolutely flawless English teacher-style writing with only a single exclamation mark, ever

No mentions whatsoever of character names, settings, situations, or anything that could be tied to the story

The usernames may be identical to people who exist on ao3, but the name is not clickable, and no profile is associated with it EXCEPT when you directly search for that name. What this means: the comments come from an unregistered (not logged in) reader, bots scrape the site for real usernames, attach that to the comment, and post

Please spread the word about this so authors can filter comments and report them accordingly

There has been some speculation about why this is happening at all, and the best guess is that this is a feature that AI-training story-scraping tools are implementing to try and make their browsing traffic look legitimate

immediately thought of that one meme when I watched this scene in episode 2 LMAO

Alright here's my GO3 predictions already bc I'm insane:

There's a similar timeskip (the airdates lining up w the timeline)

By then Aziraphale is starting to get bogged down by the beaurocracy and starts dressing more like the other angels (unfortunately). Like his Charm is still there and he still has good intentions but he can only do so much and his time in heaven away from Crowley is starting to rub off on him in terms of his style and mindset

Crowley meanwhile is an absolute disaster as always, but they're starting to recover. He did get the flat back, and he's got a sort of cautious mentorship with the over-eager Muriel (and still making sure they don't sell any of the books in case Aziraphale comes back). Their walls are higher than ever before and he acts like a bitter ex whenever Azi/Heaven are mentioned.

And of course s3e1 ends with aziracrow finally meeting up again, a rendezvous at their park bench, like old times, so Azi can inform Crowley about the second coming, saying things aren't going as planned and he needs crowley's help. The tension can be cut with a knife.

Idk what happens after that but that hard reset to their dynamic is eating at my brain fr
