More stupid predictions for Good Omens 3: Crowley and Aziraphale move into a cottage in the South Downs and Agnes Nutter sends them a housewarming gift and a strongly worded note.

[seraphic-sibyl]

Reblogging because there’s a fic that involves basically this: it’s called How to Woo a Demon by Bookwormgal!

Aziraphale removes anti-homeless architecture in his spare time

aziraphale pulling out a crowbar: this is good because it’s helping those in need

crowley pulling out a matching crowbar: this is evil because this is vandalism technically

[televised-eyes]

not me thinking about aziraphale s1 getting chastised for “frivolous” miracles vs aziraphale s2 conjuring up an entire self-indulgent jane austen style ball

Aziraphale decides to take matters in his own hands and track Crowley down, several months after their last confrontation. When the reunion doesn’t go as planned and the demon is unwilling to change his stance, an accidental slip of archangel powers causes alternate versions of Crowley to spring into existence.

The doubles are made up of the memories of the times that Crowley has been willing to assist in the past.

Now, despite the gulf between them, they have to work together to figure out how to undo what was done and hopefully prevent Crowley from losing more than he already has.

I must tell you I hunted around for this cover for several minutes thinking it was an actual book cover only to be profoundly disappointed that I could not actually obtain this cover of the book. Great work, OP, this is probably my favorite interpretation of the book into cover art. /gen

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

Here’s my Good Omens book cover for my final Computer Illustration project! We only had two weeks to do this project and I was ill for one of them so I’m surprised I actually managed to produce something!

[cape-wearing-enigma]

i’ve come to the conclusion that ineffable husbands are simply a pale imitation of destiel for people who haven’t embraced cringe with both arms yet. look within yourself you know this to be true

Okay, this made me crack a smile.

Hell's Bad Books

From the Good Omens book :):

He'd taken the opportunity to reread Aziraphale's notes, and to thumb through Agnes Nutter's prophecies, and to do some serious thinking.

His conclusions could be summarized as follows:

Armageddon was under way.

There was nothing Crowley could do about this.

It was going to happen in Tadfield. Or to begin there, at any rate. After that it was going to happen everywhere.

Crowley was in Hell's bad books. *Not that Hell has any other kind.

Aziraphale was—as far as could be estimated—out of the equation.

All was black, gloomy and awful. There was no light at the end of the tunnel—or if there was, it was an oncoming train.

He might just as well find a nice little restaurant and get completely and utterly pissed out of his mind while he waited for the world to end.

And yet . . .

[minervas-hand]

Right to fear, wrong to believe

Just had a horrible realization and needed to meta it out.

How different they were before Edinburgh, when Crowley was sucked down into Hell.

Look at this flirty babygirl in the Bastille:

I mean could he climb that tree any faster?

(This is why I really like fics that place a more physical relationship here, pre-Bastille or just post-Bastille, because c'mon look at them. )

In S1 the next thing is 1862 and Crowley asking for insurance (with a cane ffs). And Aziraphale freaking out with his "fraternizing" BS. It's jarring, until we get 1827 filled in for us in S2.

@takeme-totheworld notes in this post:

Crowley sure went from "our respective head offices don't actually care how things get done" and "nobody ever has to know" to "walls have ears" FAST after Edinburgh. And Aziraphale went from looking at Crowley with hearts in his eyes to "I've been FrAtErNiZiNg" just as quickly. I'm more convinced than ever that Edinburgh was the first time Crowley ever actually got caught and punished for fucking around with Aziraphale/doing good deeds/whatever it was they yanked him back down to Hell for, and it scared the absolute shit out of both of them and changed the whole tone of their relationship after that.

Yes! - it's clear to me as well that the Edinburgh graveyard was a very bad turning point, where they both saw that Hell was listening and would intervene. And it did change their relationship drastically, for over a century and a half (really, until looming Armageddon loosened up the stakes for them).

But what about Heaven?

See the thing is, we know Azi's been worried about Heaven watching him for the past 6000 years.

But they haven't.

[GIFs posted by starrose17]

All this time, and Heaven had not seen them together. Hadn't noticed. Had not even LOOKED.

I want to mention what @starrose17 says about this here in this post:

What I love about this is her choice of words, “went back through the Earth Observation files.” This implies that these photos were already filed somewhere meaning somebody had to have been watching them which meant somewhere in the depths of the bureaucratic heaven there’s an underpaid angel clerk tasked with watching angels on Earth, and he’s been hording photos of his favourite Angel/Demon couple not reporting them to Michael because he wants to see what happens.

And that's exactly what this fic covers!: Spying Omens by @ednav

(Give this a read, it's fabulous.)

While I am here for this being exactly how that happens, the other scenario is colder and worse - there's no one watching, at all. It's just filing automatically and never seen until some Scrivener is called to pull a file.

From @fuckyeahisawthatat's comment here :

I found this scene to be quite chilling, actually. Not only is the idea of Heaven as a surveillance state brilliant (way to make “God is always watching” sound way more ominous) but this is exactly how modern surveillance states work. They don’t actively watch everybody all the time. That’s not physically possible for humans, and even if it is metaphysically possible for Heaven, it’s not a very efficient use of resources. Surveillance states watch people they deem “suspicious.” And once you’ve been put in the category of “suspicious,” they have massive amounts of data that they can comb through to collect a lot of information about you–to retroactively build a case justifying why you’re suspicious, to collect information about where you go and who you associate with, etc.

Yes.

So we either have secret collusion in the rank and file, or we have a surveillance state that is constantly reinforced to its subjects for fear's sake, for control.

(Well, it obviously could be both.)

BUT my point is… Up until Edinburgh, Hell has not been watching (or caring at least). And up until near the end of Armageddon't, neither has Heaven.

Oh, my poor Angel. Thousands of years, of denying yourself, of pushing Crowley away, of carrying around a tension that is it's own constellation.

After 1827 you might have reason, but for the 5000+ years before that?

Thousands of years and Heaven was not watching nor cared.

You were right to fear. And you were wrong to believe.

And that just breaks my heart.
