what happened on the drive home from tadfield...?

Edit: this happens on wednesday after the paintball arena (and the wall slam), not after the nopocalypse! I am well aware they took the bus! ^^

hi i’m extremely stupid

[miss-americanbi]

i don’t know why i am the way i am (i was kicked out of heaven, pined over my best friend for 6,000 years, and finally confessed my feelings only for him to choose that corporate lifestyle over me)

[beebopboom]

man what if when Crowley drives the Bentley through the ring of fire back in season one it reminded him of driving in the Blitz with Aziraphale and that’s the true reason he was able to hold onto it for so long

they really did have so many memories in there

[sherlokiedattheritz]

after nimona: oh look! another show to hyperfixate on! i hope it makes me happy unlike the previous one!

good omens, hannibal, sherlock, loki, etc. etc:

[tonydaddingham]

i consistently dance on the fine line that runs between "every element of good omens is meant, there are no mistakes or overlooked details to this show", and "this show was made by obviously very incredibly talented people, but they are by no means infallible"

and i feel like this dichotomy is summed up very neatly in the 'arrival to edinburgh' sequence when one pays attention to the background:

[imthebentley]

Roll call! Which of my girlies also blasts Queen and thinks about fresh tarmac to stave of their existential crisises!

[starryemeralds]

do you ever think about how aziraphale fell in love with crowley because of his love for the earth; and crowley falls in love with the earth because of his love for aziraphale?

i think about it often actually.

[intenseperpetualbrainrot]

Muriel: I've never seen the same person twice in a day!

Crowley:... pardon

Muriel: yeah no I'm usually behind a desk most of the time, but it's alright! Someone comes along every couple hundred years :)

Crowley:...what

Muriel: yeah no it's no biggi-

Crowley: BENTLEY

The Bentley, bloodstained: ... wot

Crowley: is that... ichor

The Bentley, blood stained: ... wot

FINALLY FINISHED GOOD OMENS- IT WAS SO GOOD WTF- ALSO ALSO ALSO I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO SAY-

(spoilers under the cut) .

Bildad the Shuhite, love of my life.

BRO THE METATRON- FUCK HIM, HONESTLY, WHAT A DICK- (chanelling my inner comic!Nick Nelson, can you tell?)

The FUCKING "I FORGIVE YOU" AZIRAPHALEEEEE WHYYYYYYYYY (ALSO NEIL WHY. WHY. LITERALLY MY HEART-)

Couldn't cry because family was present + It'd been spoilt somewhat for me BUT NOTHING PREPARED ME FOR THE SCENES BEFORE THE KISS WHERE CROWLEY'S TRYING TO CONFESS AND AZIRAPHALE'S TRYING TO TELL HIM ABOUT THE POSITION HE JUST TOOK- UGHHHHHHHH

AND ALSO THE RESIGNED "DON'T BOTHER" OH. MY. GOSHHHHHH- CROWLEY :( MY HEART :(

also- the way the fucking way Crowley looked at Nina as if to say "I tried" and then at Maggie as if to say "I hope you do better/I hope it goes better for you" ffs

Also, again, FUCK METATRON- because this bitch walks in IMMEDIATELY after Crowley and then wastes absolutely NO time before bitching about him- literally "Always asked damn fool questions too"- not only is he manipulating Aziraphale into sort of believing Crowley would just fall again or he wouldn't do well by his side (DESPITE MANIPULATING HIM BY TELLING HIM THAT HE COULD MAKE HIM AN ANGEL AGAIN, MIND YOU) (imo, at least)

It truly is Aziraphale, Mr. I will make it better for you and Crowley, Mr. I never wanted you to make it better/ never wanted for it to be better, all I've ever wanted is you

The "Hear that? ... No Nightingales" literally broke my heart- cuz I remember reading some meta about it somewhere on here and when I was thinking about it to myself after watching, I could only think of how it sort of symbolised then end of their relationship and that broke me, ok? Especially when the Bentley played A Nightingale Sang In Berkely Square instead of its usual Queen- AND THEN HOW CROWLEY PAUSED FOR A MINUTE TO LISTEN TO IT? NO. LITERALLY STOP, OK. LIKE THE WAY IT SEEMS THAT HE'S ALREADY REMINISCING- HOW HE'S SO FUCKING DEJECTED AND FEELS LIKE HE NEEDS TO HOLD ONTO ANY PIECE OF THEM HE CAN BEFORE HE COMPLETELY GIVES UP- (AGAIN, IMO) BUT FUCK??????

On another note, however, how freaking adorable were Beelzebub and Gabriel??????????? They make me wanna 💢 🔪

No literally- Gabriel making only Everyday play on the jukebox???? Beelzebub recognising it????????? The FUCKING FLY MESSAGE ON THE BOX- shut up that's so cute, they're so stupidly in love- ALSO THE "MY HEAVEN IS WHERE BEELZEBUB IS" "AND MY HELL IS WHERE YOU ARE, MY SWEET"?????????????????????????????????? FUCKING SLAPPED- ME WHEN BRO. ME WHEN. GOD-

AND ALSO. THE. WAY. CROWLEY. AND. AZIRAPHALE. LOOK. AT. EACH. OTHER/ SHARE. A. LOOK. WHEN. CROWLEY. MENTIONS. APLHA. CENTAURI. LITERALLY ACTUALLY STFU OK? *SLAMS A DOOR IN NOBODY'S FACE IN PARTICULAR*

ALSO- CROWLEY TELLING AZIRAPHALE HOW HE PROBABLY UNDERSTANDS IT BETTER THAN AZIRAPHALE????? BECAUSE REMEMBER? IT USED TO BE THE OPPOSITE- ANGEL!CROWLEY WAS ALWAYS THE ULTIMATE OPTIMIST, THE ONE WHO BELIEVED HEAVEN WOULDN'T TRULY DAMN THOSE WHO ASKED QUESTIONS- AZIRAPHALE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS MORE CAUTIOUS- BUT NOW, IT'S AZIRAPHALE BLINDLY TRUSTING THE METATRON (IT'S BECAUSE HE LOVES CROWLEY SUPER FUCKING MUCH, BTW, FOLKS) AND CROWLEY'S THE ONE WHO'S LITERALLY DYING BECAUSE HE KNOWS. HE. KNOWS. AZIRAPHALE HAS NEVER BEEN NAIVE- NOT IN THE WAY CROWLEY HAD ONCE BEEN- BUT LOVE HAS BLINDED HIM-

oh, and i forgot to mention: THE FUCKING LIP TOUCH AZIRAPHALE DOES AFTERWARDS-

AND THE WAY HE PAUSES AND HESITATES AND THEN FAKES A SMILE SAYING HE DOESN'T NEED TO BRING ANYTHING WHEN WE ALL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANS TO SAY

AND ALSO CROWLEY SAYING THAT HE NEEDED TO STAY AND TAKE CARE OF THE BOOKSHOP INSTEAD OF HIMSELF- AND NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, WHEN METATRON SAYS MURIEL WILL TAKE CARE OF THE SHOP, HE MIGHT NOT REALISE IT HIMSELF, BUT MURIEL WILL ALSO PROBABLY TAKE CARE OF CROWLEY- IDK, MAYBE I'M JUST SPIRALLING OK-

god, if only they fucking talked-

Michael Sheen and David Tennant owe me oh so many things... someone pass it on to them, please, thanks.

You Forgot Your Brakes

As the almighty of the observable universe, one had certain privileges. God liked to think of it like the white space in between the panels of human comic books. In fact, comic books had been a clever artistic rendition of the way They saw the human world

Crowley keeps waking up in the Bentley parked in front of Aziraphale's bookshop, no matter how far he drives.

Can't stop thinking about Season 2, so this is the result of me trying to draw sth but ending up with good omens quotes anyways🙃

all 6 versions of the piece kind of remind me of different scenes, so I couldn't choose between them and just made them into a 6piece/one piece, but here are the scenes/themes I thought of- spoilers ahead!

1.: the way Aziracrow feel when they stand under each others wings in a rain-/star-fall and how Azi feels during the Jane Austen Dance, also: the Bentley in Yellow

2.: Crowley worrying about Aziraphale (the whole bunch of those scenes, there are quite enough of those)

3.: Crowley (living in his car not telling Aziraphale)

4.: Aziraphale (taking care of his bookshop)

5.: Aziraphale worrying about Crowley getting himself into irreversible trouble

6.: After the kiss

Crowley is the Archangel Raphael

I've been looking at some theories and things that make this maybe true.

First, do some research, Rafael is the archangel of healing, medicine and knowledge (in some places he only said medicine).

The system of seven archangels is an ancient tradition of the Abrahamic religions. The first reference to a system of seven archangels, as a group, appears in Enoch I, which is not part of the Jewish canon, where they are named as: Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Metatron, Azrael, Raziel, and Sariel. In the series we meet some archangels like Gabriel, Michael, Uriel, Sandalphon, Metatron and Saranqael. As you can see in the list of the series we are missing one, Rafael.

That being said, let's justify the theory.

In one scene, Crowley opens Gabriel's file as if nothing had happened (even though he is a demon) and Muriel cannot, being an angel, she tells him "it's confidential, I can't show you even if I wanted to, I would have to have a throne, or a domain, or something higher "And Crowley would do it with great ease, so while he was an angel he must have been someone VERY important (I mean he created entire stars and galaxies by himself).

Crowley has a great love for plants and it is obvious to say that the beginnings of medicine were with healing plants.

Metatron mentions that "For a prince of heaven to be thrown into outer darkness is a good story that happens twice" (I think maybe the first time was Lucifer and the second time was Crowley).

Crowley has always been one to question anything, we saw him even when he was in heaven, he mentions that he did not want to fall but "Lucifer and his friends" arrived, perhaps Crowley thought that Lucifer, being the closest to God, would have an answer to things that God does not count.

Anyway, that's all I have, if anyone has more things we can add to solidify this theory that would be great.

Sendarya's Idea

Okay. So what if the Bentley and the Bookshop are both ways in which God speaks to and supports our ineffables? Sendarya, you amazing thinker, you suggested that maybe it was God Herself who played _A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square_, since She was the only One who heard the bird in question sing. But what I'm thinking is, what if we take your suggestion to its logical conclusion? What if it's not just for that brief interlude when Crowley climbs into the Bentley at the end of S2, all meaning and light gone out of his life?

All of Aziraphale and Crowley's miracles come from their source. Aziraphale's power is Heavenly in its origin, where Crowley's supposedly comes from Hell. But everybody in Hell, at least all of the demons, was an angel once. All of them were Her creations. She is the source of all of them, angels, demons, and humans alike.

What if the sentience of the Bentley and the Bookshop is the manifestation of Her care-- Her way of speaking to Her most independent children, Her way of supporting them in their exploration of free will?

I don't think that the authors were ever particularly interested in redeeming God as a character; she makes a lot of shit choices that really hurt people (ineffable ones) that we know and love dearly. But even so, it's a compelling idea-- that her love seeps through wherever the modern world will allow it.

After Crowley's Fall, She's got a lot of splainin to do.

The Bentley has black seats because Aziraphale forgot to change them back.
