#Goood omens season 2

[floofle-universe]

Not enough people are talking about this

[ttoryviel]

I mean, based on how much we raised for GO graphic novel, I think even if Amazon denied the third season we could just pay for the whole production ourselves, right?

Wait… Seriously? Please don't tell me I'm the only person who watched the first season of Good Omens thinking that Zira and Crowley were good friends… A very very strong angel-demon friendship, isn't it? WHY DIDN'T ANYONE WARN ME THAT IT WASN'T A FANDOM INVENTED THIS SPIKE AND THAT IT IS REAL?????? I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS!

And so, a week before the release of the second season, something worried me, because how can the fandom invent such a popular ship? And I started looking for information about whether this is an official couple.

My surprise when I saw the article 《Celebrating Pride Month with Aziraphale and Crowley…》was impossible to describe. That is, how??? Is this CANON??? SO VERY VERY CANON?????? WHY DID NO ONE WARN ME?!?(???)

Well, at least I watched the second season with the feeling that they love each other😩 AND THERE WERE ALREADY HINTS OF FEELINGS AND LOOKS IN LOVE!!! Probably, if I watched the second season without knowing that they love each other, then I would have guessed here. Well, I could not write off the acceptance of a kiss as a "friendly gesture".

All friends kiss so passionately, because this is an indicator of their indescribably strong and deep friendship?😏

Hey so I'm new to (posting in) the good omens fandom but I have SOOO MANY thoughts on season 2 that I just had to write them down! 'm sorry this could get long!

I'm also sorry I don't know how to add in a cut for spoilers. Hopefully lots of spaces will work.

Firstly Aziraphale wasn't brainwashed by Metatron so much as he was tempted by him. That was a grade A, super strong temptation. He offered him everything he could ever want on a silver platter. They need him and now they have him. He even had the illusion of choice, which is key to any good temptation.

Secondly we already know what the second coming is. Crowley says what it is at the end of S1. It's all of them, heaven and hell, against all of us. Which is why heaven suddenly want their longest serving earth angel back. Who better to help them learn all of earth's weaknesses? Although what is probably going to be quite funny is Aziraphale is stuck in the 1800's and has minimal understanding of earth's rapid technological advancements. Ironically, that's Crowleys department.

Thirdly it's all but confirmed Crowley was himself an Arkangel. His star designing, his purple eyes, how the Arkangels treat him, him still having access to files up there. And they say it with Gabriel. One prince of heaven has already fallen, 2 would make a pattern so that's why Gabriel's punishment is the memory wipe instead.

Hope you all don't mind a newby coming across, my fan girl wings are rusty. My last real fandom was Fitzsimmons. I am clearly a glutton for punishment!

I forgive you (or another theory, of which there are already many)

So, we all remember Aziraphale's phrase "I forgive you". There was a lot of speculation, the whole fandom is still guessing why he forgives Crowley, and I don't know if someone has already expressed the opinion that I'm about to write, but I haven't seen it (because I don't watch the whole tumblr), so I can speak up. (Actually, this is my friend's opinion, and I, like most of the fandom, sat in tears and couldn't understand why he forgave Crowley.)

Let's look at this whole scene again. Maybe what I'm about to say will make sense. Or maybe it won't. In any case, you have nothing to lose by reading this.

The first thing I want to say is that no one betrayed anyone. They just didn't hear each other. And that's why all this shit happened.

Let's go back to the beginning. When Metatron offered Aziraphale to return to Heaven, and with such a great condition as the restoration of Angel status for Crowley. We can see how happy Aziraphale was to tell Crowley about it. After all, the Angel realizes that Heaven is shitty, at the moment, and he believes he can fix it all. Together with Crowley. And Aziraphael runs to tell Crowley the news that they can build a new Heaven together, and thinks that of course Crowley will be excited about the prospect of returning to Heaven with him and changing it together. To make everything the way it really should be. Aziraphale remembers how happy Crowley was when he created the universe, the stars, how he enjoyed and rejoiced in it, and he was an Angel then. And he also knows that Crowley doesn't like Heaven now, so he thinks, he believes, that he can make a Heaven in which Crowley will want to be an angel with him.

But this is not the message Crowley sees in his words. From his words he draws the conclusion that Aziraphale is not satisfied with the fact that he is a demon. That he wants to remake Crowley to become an Angel. Do you see the line? Aziraphale wants to remake Heaven with Crowley, but Crowley understands it to mean that Aziraphale wants to remake HIM in Heaven. And so he gets angry. He feels betrayed, because they were friends for so many years, they had a connection, and then he hears Azirafail say "go and become an Angel again".

So he gets upset, reacts very negatively to this proposal and refuses Aziraphale, and now at this moment the Angel feels betrayed, because he ran to Crowley to say that they could make the world a better place together, but he realized that Crowley did not want to make the world a better place with him. Aziraphale is also offended, and he feels sad.

So Crowley suggests that they run away together, just like Gabriel and Beelzebub did. He literally almost says, "Man, we can run away and live together. Just you and me. Without Heaven and Hell. We can be free together, without any restrictions." This is his idea of their happy life together.

And again, I emphasize, Aziraphale feels betrayed, and Crowley feels betrayed.

They are not selfish, they want happiness for each other. They think about what is best not only for themselves but also for the other. However, they did not hear and understand each other. They heard and understood something completely different, something that their partner did not mean at all. Both saw the other's proposal as a betrayal. And this ruined everything.

It happend. They are both offended and unable to accept any new arguments. When people are offended (we will exclude the fact that they are not people), they are not able to digest new arguments that the other person can tell them to explain their opinion. That is, no matter how many arguments they bring up after the point of conflict, they will still not see any positive aspects in them. They will only feed their resentment, aggression in a sense, and so on.

A kiss takes place. We can see how much desperation and pleading there is in this kiss. Perhaps this is the last attempt to leave Aziraphale on Earth, perhaps it's just desperation, perhaps it's some other option, which are enough on the tumblr and I don't see the point of writing them.

And this phrase "I forgive you". It doesn't refer to the kiss at all (he doesn't forgive him for the kiss), because a few seconds ago he was offended (they both were). He forgave him for WHAT he was offended by.

He realizes that Crowley loves him and that's it.

That's all I wanted to say. They just needed to cool down and talk again. But that didn't happen.

(And if it had, it's unlikely we could have had any hope for a third season. Their story would have ended. The end of the Good Omens.)

And now we have this interesting thing that makes @neil-gaiman do a victory dance.

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–

Keep reading
