Artie's Jeweler's Case with Secret Compartment
“Intelligence operatives are known for having the most advanced communications equipment in existence. This is especially true of fictional agents, since the imagination of writers and prop designers knows no bounds.
In The Wild Wild West, set in the 1870s, agents West and Gordon are limited to the technology that existed at that time. Consequently, their communications with Washington and each other were accomplished via telegraph, courier, and carrier pigeon.
A compartment in West’s train provided their pigeons—Henry, Henrietta, Anabella, and Arabella—with a means for discreet arrivals and departures. Communication from the field, however, required a creative solution, which Artemus fashioned into a disguise. Working undercover as a jeweler, Artie carried a large sample case that held numerous drawers filled with fine gems. Unbeknownst to the common observer, the rear of the case was fitted with a camouflaged door leading to a secret compartment. Inside was a carrier pigeon, available at a moment’s notice to deliver an urgent note to Jim, back at the train.
This jeweler’s case is one of the few, if not the only, surviving props used by Artemus Gordon while in disguise during an assignment. The fact that it also functioned as a secret device makes it an even more significant piece of ‘60s-era spy history.”
— "The Incredible World of Spy-Fi" by Danny Biederman (2004)

Now's the turn for these doofuses to get hit with the cartoonification beam! I actually adore Ineffable bureaucracy bc conceptually it's one of the funniest things ever. The comedic potential!
Personally, I like to think angels also have animal characteristics/elements, and that Gabriel is a vulture (a white headed vulture specifically). Just imagine, both of them, on a moonlit night, holding hands, eating trash behind a Denny's💖
#archangel gabriel#good omens#na.s art#gabriel good omens#beelzebub good omens#ineffable bureaucracy#translating Gabriel's punchable face was an experience. I tried to bring that irritable smug aura to the overall design too.#was a fun process of asking myself over and over “does this creature™ look like if it were to open it's mouth#nothing but sheer irritating noises would come out???“ Helped a lot#in contrast i did change Beelzebub a lot. Gave zem clean clothes and a wild west design theme. Why wild west? bc 1. it looks stylish#and 2. it's funny#the reason why i changed Beelzebub into a clean appearance has to do with my personal vendetta against the tv demon designs that aren't C's#i already went on as to why I dislike them so much on my Hastur & Ligur design post. It's not bc “they're ugly/i don't like how they look”.#it's more than that. It goes against one of the main core themes in all GO no matter the version#anyway. Ineffable bureaucracy. me likey. funny & cute

Jim West's Suit
"Robert Conrad’s finely tailored Suits, featuring the smart-looking bolero jacket and colorful vest, were an important aspect of James West’s character. The fact that President Grant recruited West to serve as his agent in the field meant maintaining a convincing cover. So the government set him up to be a fancy, high-living gentleman from the East, who traveled the country at his leisure in his private railroad car. West’s classy attire went a long way toward establishing this image.
"The jacket also served a practical function: Hidden behind the left lapel was a small pocket in which West kept a picklock, and at the back of the jacket was another pocket that held a throwing knife. This jacket, along with its hidden devices, was used throughout the series.
The tight-fitting pants that matched West’s jacket posed a special problem on the series due to the extensive stunt work performed by Conrad. 'My pants, which were designed by a woman, were always splitting because they were too tight,” recalled Conrad. “They were always saying, "Okay, how many pairs of pants is he going to go through today?"'
"The seat of Conrad’s trousers bears the scars of needlework repairs—a fitting testament to the daily rough-and-tumble activities of the wild, wild West."
-- from "The Incredible World of Spy-Fi" by Danny Biederman (2004)

These are the only characters where I wonder how they got their medallions:
I guess Greg Heffley could've gotten his medals from winning a video game competition. That's the only thing he's good at.
Edgar... has zero talent. Except for eating. Maybe he won a pie eating competition or something.
Mya is not a native to Poptropica. Where did she get it?

Good Omens Wild West Headcanons
Based on my cosplays of both Crowley's fem and masc forms
Crowley and Aziraphale head over to America for a couple years on a little "vacation" just to see how the "new world" has been doing since all those years
Crowley quickly becomes a bandit because spreading terror and mischief is exactly his brand of demonism, although he has a peculiar way of doing so
He has a gun but it's only there for decorative purposes, though he has accidentally fired another while staying in America
Crowley's main form of terrorism (apart from the occasional robberies) is untying horses from their reins so that their owners have to run after them (he takes much delight in this absolutely devious crime)
(He also does this cuz he hates the fkn animals)
His bandit name is The Red-Bellied Bandit (a reference to his snake form) and he becomes sort of famous—he's been banned from a few towns, more on that later
One night, while Crowley is doing his Evil Deeds, one of the horses he unleashes bolts onto a renowned criminal that was robbing the town's bank and harming the citizens, ultimately incapacitating the criminal in his escape
The townspeople who saw it happen believed it was Crowley's attempt at stopping the criminal and as a token of gratitude, they elect him sheriff
Crowley agrees cuz government officials are the most corrupt therefore it makes sense that he, a demon, would take on such a role
But in reality, he just wants to keep the townspeople safe cuz he got attached to them
At some point, the town's saloon needs a new owner and Crowley decides to try his hand at business owning (bcuz there is nth more evil than customer service, especially in such a sinful establishment like a saloon where booze, lust, greed, and wrath are involved)
Thus, fem-presenting Crowley manages the saloon she names Eden (totally not as a form of therapy where she can exert her authority over a secluded environment and banish those she deems unworthy, not at all–)
Crowley is then sheriff by day and saloon owner by night
The townspeople believe the sheriff has a twin sister who owns the saloon but they've never actually seen the two siblings at the same place at the same time...
Crowley's saloon is a hit what with great showgirl performances, good music and alcohol
Meanwhile, Aziraphale has been doing his Good Angel Stuff, helping people around, hanging out with vagrant authors like Walt Whitman and Herman Melville
He enjoys visiting Crowley's saloon and soon gets permission to perform there as well
Aziraphale puts on a showgirl magic act while fem-presenting
Any hecklers (or admirers) are forthwith removed from the premises never to be seen again, much to the angel's ignorance
The townspeople see how often masc-presenting Aziraphale visits Crowley's saloon and assume the sheriff's sister is having an affair with the bizarre englishman because have you seen the way they look at one another? And they sometimes share bottles of wine on the upper floor alone—how scandalous!
But the englishman's affection is very clearly directed toward the sheriff as well—but that's impossible for it would be sacrilegious otherwise...
Now remember how Crowley accidentally fired a gun during his banditing? What happened was he accidentally pulled the trigger of a bandit's gun he had confiscated (because his own gun doesn't have any bullets of course)
the bullet ricocheted through the entire town, causing signs to fall, horses to run off, the water cistern spilling, a fire starting, etc.
Because of the utter chaos, Crowley was banned from the town, and neighboring towns as well
This is the one act that made The Red-Bellied Bandit a name worth remembering
Crowley sometimes chills in the desert in his snake form to feel like a true predator in the wild
(He doesn't do it often cuz he gets scared of getting pecked on by a roadrunner)
He loves rattlesnakes and thinks it's so cool they get an instrument attached to them
Crowley is most excited when the railway gets installed in America because it means he doesn't have to struggle with horseback riding anymore
He also spends some time with inventors such as Graham Bell and Thomas Edison (he shares some of his inventor-expertise with them)
Thats all I have for now, please add on any headcanons you have!
