Just finished the most recent season of good omens

Geddy casually blazing before a show in the 1970s. This might have been how they played at their best during this era.

I legit don’t know if I would survive a Good Omens s3, but I’m still wishing s2 extraordinary success

[irenica]

i’ve peaked in life

hello mr. gaiman- thought you would appreciate my senior quote :) i’ve been a big fan of the book and show for a while and thought it would be fitting

do you have a favorite era for aziraphale and crowley? i personally will always love the 1872 edinburgh minisode with high crowley. let me know! thank you for writing such amazing books

Thank you!

I don't really have a favourite era - i just feel lucky that I've been able to explore so many of them.

Giving Santa body dysmorphia just to feel something.

gets in charge of the bookshop for 1 (one) day: shows up in a cardigan vest and metal sleeve garters, keeps the shop CLOSED, avoids selling a single book... iconic, truly did THE MOST, 10/10 😩👌🏻

(also, the way he was this 🤏🏻 close to finally achieving the status of house husband he's been dreaming about for MILLENIA just to have the rug pulled out from under him last minute... truly DEVASTATING 😩 my girl really can't catch a break 🤧)

Thank you so much for the 1,000 followers!!!! Have some fem andreil as requested 🙌🙂‍↕️

Not sure how Neil ever managed to crawl out of that window 😭

[feverdreamsandlucidnightmares]

I love that neil is pure of heart, dumb of ass, and also deeply fucked up

He’s just a little guy! All his friends love him and want him to take care of himself! He’ll totally kill that guy for you though. He protects his friends by mouthing off to horrifically dangerous people. He can’t tell that he’s being flirted with. He always respects his boyfriend’s boundaries and is hyper-vigilant about consent. He also got too distracted listening to his worstie scream in pain after his bf broke the guy’s arm to pay attention to his team checking on him despite the fact that the aforementioned bitch nearly killed him on national TV. He got his bf to agree to stop protecting him so that andrew wouldn’t feel responsible when he was inevitably killed. He comforted himself while being held by the FBI by replaying his father’s execution in his mind over and over. His only regret was that his mom didn’t live long to see his dad dead. But! He’s also so sorry that he upset his boyfriend by getting kidnapped. He put a hit out on a rapist over lunch. He insults the FBI. He challenged the yakuza and won and watched his enemy get executed and then was so giddy over it that his team wanted to know what was up and he lied to them. He’s a fucked up little guy. A Creature even. Morbid as hell. Deeply unserious. Protective as fuck with a mean, vindictive streak a mile wide. Would do anything up to and including killing someone for his found family. What a guy. Damn.

four men in uniform to carry home my little soldier

If I see one more video that has the "name a more iconic duo than a twink and a redhead" audio and it's Andrew and Neil I'll punch a hole through a wall. Because either I don't know what a twink is anymore or we're reading different books because in what universe is the Andrew Joseph Minyard a TWINK.

[broken-heart-raven-queen]

I just tought about that time Neil and Aaron had to be separated from eachother by some random athletes (who spontanoeusly got names) because they were trying to kill the other and then a few days/month later the same people saw Neil with Andrew and were like WTF

[sapphoherselz]

hi do you ever wonder if wyamack EVER met the Foxes before their time? I'm talking any age, any time in their lives, especially the ones where they really needed a paternal figure to help them out or get them out of trouble?

like he goes grocery shopping and sees this quiet kid trying to stuff as much food in his pockets wo being noticed? but David of course does and the kid is already taking a step back, looking at him with pure terror in his eyes as if he's seeing just another person that can hurt him but of course that doesn't happen. what does happen is that david offers to pay for anything the kid wants and then starts asking question like that's one nasty bruise you got there, want to tell me what happened? and then out of nowhere the boy's mother appears and starts tugging the kid away in a not very gentle manner and David tries to interfere but they're hurriedly walking away before he can get the words out of his mouth (he has to physically stop himself from going after them because that would just frighten the kid more)(he goes back to the same grocery store at the same hour for an entire month, hoping to find this short kid hiding somewhere and maybe tell his mother exactly where she can put her hands)

or maybe he's walking home late at night and sees this kid sitting on the sidewalk and he approaches cause shouldn't you be at home? wouldn't your parents worry? do you want to give them a call, you could use my phone but the kid tenses so much that David takes several steps back and starts talking about everything under the blue sky trying to get him to calm down. when that eventually happens, they end up sitting (with some comfortable distance) next to the other in utter silence, until the kid goes "I don't want to go home" and David is like. okay. we can stay here for as long as you'd like. the night is young and I have snacks in my pockets. did I tell you already that I'm an exy coach? what do you mean you don't know what exy is- no I'm not making that up, it's a job and I have it! they even pay me for it! (he ends up falling asleep in a sitting position and wakes up alone, the marble next to him having long gone cold) (he doesn't even remember if he had managed to make the kid smile or if his eyes were playing tricks on him) (if he starts walking home later than usual just to sit on a lonely sidewalk for hours then it's his business and no one else's)(and yes he does bring with him all of the snacks he thinks the kid would like) (no he didn't spend minutes choosing them)

like something something the red string theory something something everyone is always connected something something

I need to bleach my eyes now, thanks :)

Mr Gaiman, Sir. In recent times, you have repeatedly replied to asks regarding fan interpretations of your work, and how you won't read them for various, including legal reasons. Do not worry, this is not another one, attempting to find some loophole in your stance. Rather, I simply ask your opinion as an accomplished and internationally beloved author.

What is your take on fanfiction being used as a sort of training wheels for people new to writing? Because on the one hand, learning to develop one's own world and characters is an important part of writing, but on the other, fanfiction may help with practicing pacing, beats, and other aspects of writing that make a story more pleasant to read.

Of course, there is a high chance you have answered a similar question before, given the sheer number of messages you have received, but I would like to thank you for reading this one, nonetheless.

This is from 2012, with a collection of quotes going back to 2001...

(Oddly enough, you'll find me talking about training wheels, in a reply to someone who wanted to know if fan fiction could be a place to begin to write their own, not fan fiction work, right in the beginning.)

These were the 2012 tags. Back when I believed in tags.
