Bildad the shuite has won the poll🏆

Comment how you would like me to draw him

I will do multiple different sketches and one fully rendered piece, so there will be lots of Bildad

No NSFW pls and thank you

We can see the a few goats/crows flying away after Crawly's firebombs supposedly "destroy" them

Good Omens Season 2 - A Companion to Owls

Don't worry, kids (species neutral) Bildaddy will never ignore you

As you know, Bildaddy works three two jobs (obstetrician, cobbler, and demon), and is also in a relationship with Aziraphale (@mrazfellco).

And so, if Bildaddy takes a while (hours, days) to respond, just know that he isn't ignoring you.

Bildaddy might be making shoes or delivering babies. Bildaddy might be eating ox ribs or eating REDACTED. Bildaddy might be sleeping or sleeping with Aziraphale.

But what Bildaddy is never doing is ignoring you.

Bildaddy loves you very much (platonic) and he will respond (eventually).

In the meantime, have an ox rib (platonic)

remember when everyone was shitting on crowleys look from the episode 2 flashback when pictures of it were dropped. little did they know that was bildad the shuite best shoemaker slash midwife in the land of shua

[sighed-the-snake]

My wife has been watching S2 with me. Today, she excitedly told me that Shua was mentioned in the audiobook she's currently reading.

It's her very first Bildad the Shuite reference.

I'm so proud of her

I'm learning to work with alcohol markers and colored pencils, and what is a better training than drawing Crowley through ages?

Part 2

Bildad the Shuhite - 2500 BC

Bildaddy, my beloved ❤️

Keep seeing clips of that dude reacting to Good Omens and he is now loosing it over how “ruthlessly sexy” David Tennant is saying “I know the answer is going to be a resounding no, but am I the only one who finds him sexy?” You got that right brother

Quick digital painting of Bildad the Shuhite of course

[anonymousdandelion]

The one thing about Crowley as "Bildad the Shuhite" identifying himself as a shoemaker is that the pun works a lot better when you forget that the characters would definitely not have been speaking English at the time. 😅

I was today years old when I learned that the 'father of British midwifery' was called Willie Smellie

You know I can’t help but giggle when thinking back to the times pre-Good Omens season 2 when all we had were the set pics and teaser snippets and how everyone was just hating MASSIVELY on one very specific Crowley look and then, cut to some months later, we were introduced to that look as Bildad the Shuhite who is now an absolute fan favorite.

So if you ever look in the mirror and aren’t pleased with your appearance just think of our favorite midwife/cobbler. Character is so much more important than looks.

[...] Ahab was now entirely conscious that, in so doing, he had indirectly laid himself open to the unanswerable charge of usurpation; and with perfect impunity, both moral and legal, his crew if so disposed, and to that end competent, could refuse all further obedience to him, and even violently wrest from him the command. From even the barely hinted imputation of usurpation, and the possible consequences of such a suppressed impression gaining ground, Ahab must of course have been most anxious to protect himself.

LAW TIME!

this is so interesting to me bc it calls back to the fact that ahab doesn't actually own the pequod! he's captaining it and he does own a share in it, but the real owners are peleg and bildad, and on shore he's accountable to them. even though on the sea he is master of the ship, he still answers to the owners, and in derailing the voyage from "hunting whales and making money" to "hunting moby-dick specifically", he is usurping authority! he doesn't (well, in the sense of ownership, which will come up later) actually have the right to do this! and if the crew were to mutiny against him (say, if a certain mate who isn't keen on the quest and prioritizes the commercial interests of the voyage over ahab's goal convinced them), legally they'd be in the right to do it, and arguably it'd be their duty to do it. (nautical law side of tumblr do correct me if i'm wrong) (the idea of whether ahab actually has ultimate authority over the pequod comes up later and it's all very interesting!)

this is extra fun since ahab knows this and is genuinely nervous that the crew might rise up against him. right now starbuck stands alone, and even he gave way to peer pressure in the end! the entire crew is enthusiastic about the quest, but if that wanes and they start to consider it, ahab will be in genuine danger! he can't actually answer to the charge of usurpation, he undeniably did it (within the framework of ownership of the whaling industry ofc) which is something that isn't really obvious in pop culture perceptions of him, he's not just some dictator, he's pragmatic about things!
