everyone say thank you to brianne battye who wrote for both cullen rutherford and neve gallus, two people who would rather fall on a sword than develop crushes but ultimately can't resist the indecipherable yearning of their huge, disgustingly soft hearts

Fun fact: The sign "Battye & Palm" is a Discworld Easter Egg - in the novel Night Watch, Rosemary Palm is a seamstress and Sandra Battye is a real seamstress (truly working with needle :D).They are flatmates. They deal with ppl depending on which seamstress is being looked for :).

Neve's "the world's not fair on a good day," hits hard. It's so good because Neve feels so soft and vulnerable in this moment. I rewatched this scene recently, and it is so good as a scene that acknowledges Rook's growing feelings for her.

On one layer, there's the captured wisp, captured Rook parallel. I love this part of the scene because she immediately lets the wisp go. Why??? Because it's futile. Just like her trying to hold onto things she can't control. Her letting go of the wisp, is her letting go of her desire to keep things to herself. She's finally ready to let a little chaos into her life by being honest with Rook.

But what's more interesting to me is that she, at every turn, gives Rook the chance to leave. She doesn't want a captured Rook. She can't even bear to keep a mischievous wisp trapped for her sake. That's why it's so good when Rook, at every turn, answers her with a reaffirmation of their commitment to her.

Neve's vulnerability is also so heartfelt in this scene. When she closes her eyes and braces herself for what she's about to say—“What can we ask for?”—it feels like she’s asking for Rook to steady her. To keep her rooted when she feels like she’s being swept away by the storm of her own emotions: her frustration, her loss through Brom, her desire to keep Rook safe, her worry for those who’ve gone missing, and being confronted by her own inadequacies.

I know Rook can answer differently, but I still love the polite/blue!Rook response because it’s the most vulnerable to me. (Granted, different voice actors may have done the inflection here differently, but damn does Bryony Corrigan deliver. Holy hell.)

“Good things happen, Neve.” The way Rook speaks her name like they’re afraid to break this moment, this closeness that Neve allows. Woof.

That’s when my Rook knew there could be no one else.

Map of Soho Good Omens Season 2 - Part 1 (Location and general map)

Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Update: Map now identifies Lucky Snake and the coffee shop listed in Aziraphale's clipboard may indeed be Give Me Coffee I think we all have wondered how the GO Soho looks like and where it would be in real London. So using all the screenshots, BTS pictures and videos I could find I did my best to map out where things are. It is not to scale but everything I could see is there. I originally had all the pictures and explanations in this post but soon it became obvious it was going to be too long and impractical so I had to split it in different posts and I hope I got it right. The map has five reference points (circle with two diverging lines); imagine the circle is you, standing in the set, and the lines are your viewpoint if you were taking a picture from there. The left side of Whickber Street (#1 and #2) is in Part 2, the intersecting street (#3 and #4) is in Part 3 and the right half of Whickber Street (#5) is in Part 4.

As to where the bookshop would be in real London. We know that Whickber Street is supposed to be Berwick Street so let's start there. The intersecting street is not obvious from the show. In this post Neil said he imagines the bookshop to be where Gosh! Comics is (Peter Street) while Michael Ralph and Douglas McKinnon probably put it at The Week (on Broadwick Street). Because it is ambiguous and really you can do whatever you want, I just left it as "intersecting street". We know from the book that Crowley takes Wardour Street after the bookshop fire. Wardour is behind Berwick so in our map it would be where the Chinese Buffet Restaurant is, considering they run more or less parallel. On the other side, we have the Windmill Theatre located on Great Windmill Street. From Berwick St. and Peter St. it takes three minutes to walk to the theatre, it is that close! (yes, I know, Crowley was conducting business two blocks from the bookshop while not talking to Aziraphale for 80 years). I have never been in that part of London so I used Google Maps streetview and based only on that, I like the corner of Berwick St. and Broadwick St. better. It has the crooked intersection but the proximity of the theatre matches Peter St. better, so whatever works better for you!

There is one place missing from the set map though: Brown's World of Carpets! It is nowhere to be found, we simply don't know where it is My very personal headcanon is that it is nothing but a desk inside the furniture store. I find that idea of the guy most worried about storefront looks being the one without a storefront very amusing, but don't mind me, it is just my very silly hc XD Now, we know Aziraphale has a list for the shops he needs to visit. And we know he wrote it in alphabetical order which begs the question: Where is the Dirty Donkey?! Are they not invited? And what about the fabric shop? And Bilton Scaggs? Battye and Palm? The News Agency? Is "Mo Coffee? No Coffee?" supposed to be Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death? Or is there another coffee shop somewhere? @crow-bee23 suggested it could be "Me Coffee" which it is entirely possible, the full name is kind of long. So many questions to ask Mr. Brown.

Anyway, I put pictures and details on the shops in parts 2, 3 and 4. Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
