So one thing led to another, and I’ve just paid a visit to the first (that we know of) confirmed Good Omens S3 filming locations. Due to the obvious sensitivity of this material, please tag it accordingly and share only with the fans consenting to know potential spoilers.

A fellow Good Omens fan has mentioned that residents of a certain Edinburgh area had unexpected guests recently, knocking on their door and telling them they are filming in their street soon. Imagine their surprise when a polite question about the details led to the offhand answer: “IT'S ONLY GOOD OMENS”.

For those unaware, the City of Edinburgh Council has been working really hard on promoting the city for film and TV industry for a few years now (the effects of which we saw in S2), and has a set of very clear and very publicly available guidelines regarding the modus operandi here.

The Good Omens production has both large scale and a high impact on a specific location due to the crew size, amount of technology used, and requirement for crowd control in most of the exterior and interior scenes (e.g., bookshop, pub, or coffee shop windows), which is why not only the local authorities, but also residents were informed about the filming with an at least 8 days notice:

Ironically, I just had happened to have a trip here planned and a hotel booked within walking distance to the locations on the attached TM and parking plan map, so it would be a waste not to use this opportunity for the greater good of the fandom. Can’t stay long enough to see the actual crew, so unfortunately the hair photos will have to be made by someone else. Disappointing, I know. But there’s still a lot to be excited about!

According to the provided notice, the filming will happen within one working day with the required set-up planned for the day before, mostly in the afternoon hours. The attached map shows planned parking suspension and SYL dispensation on two streets close to the chosen locations, which is where the trailers and equipment vehicles will park:

Location One turns out to be, rather surprisingly, a cosy corner bookshop. The shop — one of the Edinburgh’s oldest surviving secondhand bookstores — is very small, but crammed with a wide ranging library of beautiful books to serve readers and collectors, including antiquarian true first editions and signed copies.

It’s giving Muriel’s sweet and whimsical charm, but the bits and pieces of the unpublished Good Omens sequel point out not towards Whickber Street, where the angel currently resides, but more towards a new in-universe location. Maybe one that will be opened in the future post-Second Coming, maybe one that will remind one of the characters about a home base of operations back in the heart of London’s Soho (and theirs— wait, who said that?).

Notice that the road closure includes north and south sides of the pavement visible in the last photo, so both indoor and outdoor shots could be expected:

Location Two seems a bit more complex, since it’s basically a skewed triangle consisting of one longer street and a short side street diverging from it. Conveniently for the filmmakers, the architecture here is uncharacteristic enough that it could be easily presented as British, Scottish, or even American. I’m personally a bit partial to the last option since it would make sense story- and budget-wise, especially now with the two people previously adamant on shooting the US scenes only on location there not on the production team anymore.

The contrasting structures and materials visible here easily offer background for multiple potential contexts and scenarios, so much in fact that it’s easy to imagine more than one scene being shot here for cost- and time-effective reasons. Some of the buildings along the cobbled road have the right look and feel for historical flashbacks, as you can see below. I find the two separate entrances next to each other particularly lovely:

A considerable part of the buildings in the area, however, belongs to a more modern complex that communicates a very different personality and function. With a bit of camera and post-production magic, it could transform to a wide range of settings — please let me know your thoughts and ideas if you have any!

Specific filming times and more detailed information are consciously not shared out of concern for the crew and cast members who clearly don’t want them to become public knowledge. Those of you who live in the area and might visit the set anyway, please don’t forget to make sure that your presence won’t bother them as well as other locals. And remember to keep any new photos and information contained with tags so that you won’t spoil it to the people who would rather wait for the movie itself!

if I had a nickel for every time a teenager in fantasy high tried to perform surgery, failed, and then was assisted by another teenager who rolled a critical success, I’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

[andro-dino]

currently on episode 8 of eom and I think I can confidently say I already definitely have a favorite

as I put it so eloquently on my priv Twitter,

I love all of the party actually they’re all really great. they r all very cutesy and charming and I like them all a lot. Marius is the only other one I’ve drawn so far bc I’m lazy and humanoids are easy to draw <3

I love his big ass goofy grins whenever he shows people his fangs he’s such a dork I love him

^ moment from ep 6 that I went crazy for. it’s funny knowing what ships are popular going into a campaign bc it always ends up with me either going “okay when r the moments gonna happen im ready i know they’re coming when are they coming” or just

I am already very obsessed with them I can’t wait to see more of them I JUST REALLY LIKE THIS CAMPAIGN SO FAR IN GENERAL IM HAVING A GREAT TIME EVEN WITH ALL THE VIOLENT SHUDDERS OF VISCERAL DISGUST THAT FREQUENTLY OVERTAKE ME LISTENING TO HOW NIKKIE DESCRIBES THE HORRIFIC BITS 🫶🫶🫶🫶

My beloved has a TBI traumatic brain injury and while that is a bummer the absolute worst part of it is that we can’t watch Arcane because they need to limit their screen time.

I hope you’re taking this seriously.

Did you really think this was all there was to it? Wrong! Channeling detective Aziraphale means proper investigative reporting. Again, same level of discretion is highly advisable — due to the obvious sensitivity of this material, please tag it accordingly and share only with the fans consenting to know potential spoilers.

You might have noticed that the original filming locations post included particularly small amount of photos and information on Location One in contrast to Location Two. The reason for it was as prosaic as possible: the bookshop was closed at the time I was conducting my little area surveillance operation. That’s why I decided to come back later, this time during its opening hours, to surreptitiously take some more photos and chat with the staff. And guess what?

The bookseller on duty even looked a bit like Muriel gone native, with dark hair and playful clothes, and was impossibly sweet about the whole thing. Apparently they don’t know much about the production details, not even who exactly is going to be there — the shop has only received a letter from them and decided to just go ahead with it. As was expected, the whole project is kept very low-key to make everyone’s work easier on both sides, but they’re rather excited about the opportunity.

For obvious reasons they will be closed for the filming (and possibly before or after the shooting, in case it might require some sort of non-demonic rearrangement), but unlike Aziraphale’s bookshop this one stays typically open every day of the week. It’s absolutely worth popping by if you’re in the area anyway — the whole place is not only visibly thrumming with carefully curated colours and details, but also positive energy and genuine love for books and book lovers. Truly a perfect real-life addition to the Good Omens cinematic universe.

I’ve been wondering if maybe Ortiz’s plan to split up the 118 will actually play out in some fashion - that after Eddie leaves we’ll see the 118 being divided up in some way (perhaps Gerrards cast iron plumbing isn’t so cast iron and causes the 118 to flood and need to be refitted so everyone gets temporarily reassigned) and Buck doesn’t take this well - on top of Eddie leaving. So instead of reverting to Buck 1.0 who sleeps around, we actually get the Buck 1.0 who went travelling - that he’s going to literally run in an attempt to escape the feelings he’s feeling - that his abandonment issues will manifest in him abandoning his firefam and actual family (as in the Hans) before they can ‘also abandon him’.

That we’ll see buck on the road and that will lead to him realising he’s in love with Eddie and end up with him turning up in El Paso - without a plan but needing to see Eddie - and confessing his feelings.

-wHat.

ACK-

Y’all I just caught the sweetest continuity moment in Rise. One of the last times they fought… wild animal Shredder(?), Donnie threw literally everything he had at him and the Shredder still overpowered him in a matter of seconds, destroying his battle shell.

This terrifies the shit out of him because… of fucking course it does, and for the rest of the fight Donnie isn’t really like himself. He’s holding his own ok and doing what needs to be done, but he’s visibly shaky and apprehensive to kind of an alarming degree for him. There’s also pretty good reason to believe he was legitimately injured based on how deep the marks appear to be.

And then weeks later the second they see Shredder again (actually recognizing him that is), Raph’s immediate thought is to protect Donnie.

Edit: I FORGOT THE LAST PICTURE SO THIS WAS UP FOR HOURS AND MADE NO SENSE 😭

What do you mean they kissed.
