back in season one when Gabe and Beelzebub are trynna convince Adam to start Armageddon, they look like his godparents omfgldvnjnn two types of godparents, one who seems to be a minimalist with a life in the office and the other who looks like a goth and makes babies cry for no reason and intention.

omg GOmens Oc yeah

Sorry, the text may be clumsy, the translators are as goofy as I am

Felix (he/they)

a mid-ranking angel who conducts bureaucratic affairs under the direction of the supreme Archangel

1) they were on earth at the time of witchcraft (17th century, USA), collecting information about

people, they say, "WHO ARE THEY BURNING THERE?".Felix disliked people, finding

only

their adaptability to their flaws interesting. Despite this,

Felix found a lot of information about people. The chancellery

reacted coldly to Felix's work,

but placed him under the command of the supreme Archangel.

———————————--

2) after that, Felix hoped to take Gabriel's place in the future. They became workaholics, for centuries without leaving their office, only occasionally sucking up to their superiors, obligingly offering them additional help.

3) in the end, Felix so, excuse the expression, licked his boss's ass that he was completely imbued with the radical ideas of paradise. It's no secret that they divide the world into black and white, advocating cruel thoughts, but refused to notice it point-blank, considering themselves ABSOLUTELY sinless.

4) as a result, Felix disowned the Archangel Gabriel (Jim) after learning about his affair with the Duke of Hell. they thought that they would take the place of the former boss, because for many thousands of years they worked for the glory of paradise and a little less for the glory of the office, but his fantasies were interrupted by Metatron, who brought Aziraphale (the end of season 2). Felix, of course, had heard a lot about Aziraphale and advocated his execution or, at least, his fall. Upon learning that Aziraphale would be his boss, Felix was outraged (which, if you think about it, is fair.), but there was nothing left to do but obey the Will of God, because her plan is incomprehensible

5) Then Felix gets an idea, the consequences of which they do not understand. Aziraphale had a flaming sword, and Felix had a Torch-saber since the beginning of time. The idea was to eliminate His Archangelism with the help of hellfire, while setting Crowley up, saying, "well, they have grates there, and these demons, God forgive me, the devil knows. So I burned it. It's a pity. well, I'll be happy to work for the benefit of the office, so His Archangelship had methods derogatory to heaven."

well, his whole ENT eventually develops on attempts to burn Aziraphale like a witch in the 17th century, but their attempts are more like episodes of "Tom and Jerry"

+ The cross in the pic is an element of his weapon + they carry one with them

Its interesting to me that Alex The Gomens Fledgling came to the realization himself (much as its been pointed out here on the lovely Hellsite):

Alex: Crowley seems REALLY stressed in Season 2. Like, he was MUCH more swaggery in first season.

Me: That’s… true.  Can I ask what you by “swaggery”?

Alex: Like, he still walks amazing and like a snake like we said. But its… harder. Like hes trying his best not to panic. (the kid knows from panic: I suffer from pretty dire panic disorder)

Me: … that’s  pretty much right on the button , boy.

Alex: Also also, he seems to have more FUN in the first season. Like he teases Aziraphale much more  like when he has that nice long hair and wants him to agree to help. And when he zipped through the phone lines to trap Hastur. He´s a GOOD demon but still he likes mischief and stuff. In the second season he seems  like the most fun he has is the “awning of a new age” where he tries the love rain. When he´s with his Angel he seems kind of desperate like he freak out at Jim and he doesn’t relax at all like when he has the lightning freak out.

Me: ….

Alex: Well that’s what I think anyway.

My thoughts on Gabriel/Jim in Season 2 (spoilers)

Before the season release, everyone was intrigued by Gabriel's character arc. Some were speculating a redemption arc, and I personally just wanted to see karma for all his misdeeds. But... in the end, he didn't really have an arc beside a weak love story shoved into a 7 minute montage. And he got away with everything.

The moment he was about to get demoted, he went to someone he knew he could use and manipulate. Aziraphale is soft. He basically made Aziraphale and Crowley do all the hard work, put the blame on them.

(Okay, so a quick detour, I saw a take that Gabriel wasn't even seeking Aziraphale, he was seeking Beelzebub. With that in mind, the phrase 'you ever feel that everything will be okay near one particular person' was about Beelzebub too. So... I don't even... what was the point of leading him to Aziraphale?)

He had little to no development. "Jim" is in his own words, an empty house, a shell. A different person as a whole. Not fixed Gabriel, not repented Gabriel, just some guy. When he got back his memories (which was like idk boxfly funny moments compilation), he never thanked Aziraphale and Crowley, never REPENTED, never returned the favor to them. And in some wicked way, we should be happy for them?

Oh and THE WAY he got his memory back??? BY FLIPPING OVER THE BOX??? IT'S THE GOMENS EQUIVALENT OF FLIPPING OVER A POST-IT NOTE

He didn't even protest the apocalypse. He (quite literally) just said nuh uh. And in the end, if it does happen, it won't affect him either way, beacuse he and Beelz went to Alpha Centauri 😍 which was supposed to be Azicrow's shelter 😍

I just don't get supporting Gabriel as a character and GabexBeelz as a pairing, not with that development.

I need to do a chronicle of ofmd episodes because I'm 2 minutes in and I already have A LOT to say, so spoilers for ep 4 under the cut! Don't click if you don't want the whole episode spoiled!

"Ed ed speak to me! Ed???" SBONK

"Did Ed do that?" "It was an accident" "They all say that" lmaooo unhinged but I love how they don't let it go unnoticed

NOT wee Jhon knitting girly y2k sweaters!

Did they really have Taika flex the bicep just for the fangirls

Ya considering Izzy came back from his banishment I guess this is temporary

Like the cuscus brain

(Why is it that whenever I watch new eps of my fav series there's always constructors making a lot of noise in the background, feels like I live in an open construction site)

Bird dude hair game is insane this season

They have thrift shops now, I love this show

Ooh older lesbian pirate open couple

Ooooh older lesbian pirate open couple is fighting

Does anyone in this show get stabbed and walk it off like it's nothing

Ohhh ok I think I get it the homolesboerotic stabbing is in place of sex in this show, subtle lol

Olu calling Jim "babe"🥹

All this Izzy suffering is undignified but what I really want to see is the indignity of the brony leg, how does it come to that???

"You left me for mary" Did he really lose the "Stede left his wife TWICE" part? Selective hearing Ed needs to stop being a bitch honestly

"Two whim prone people shouldn't just run to China" YES THEY'RE TALKING IT OUT AND SAYING IT ALL IN THE HEALTHIER WAY THIS SHOW CAN MANAGE my pores are clean my crops are cropping and whatever that meme also said

An actual love confession that isn't cheesy nonsense???

Good omens needs to take notes

"Have you had sex yet" NO GOMENS STOP TAKING NOTES (last thing we need is Fucking in a tornado 2 the revenge of cringe)

Oof I never noticed how small and thin Ed is compared to Hunk Stede send heelp

Oh no this is a nod to the fandom right? I've never been on twitter but I've heard t h i n g s

My god the cinematography is a masterpiece here, I love the action in this episode

Not me thinking she was a vampire smoking from the sun for a moment, wwdits being taika's show threw me off

Not related but I think they twinkified Stede and hunkified Ed to make them seem more like equals, like in that The Witcher video where they explained how they twikyfied the bard dude to make him seem more boyish

"You are harassing a cripple" *Finds a horse leg*

Don't tell me bird dude is gonna turn Ed into a seagull or something

It took bird dude to turn into a bird for Ed to finally understand PEOPLE CHANGE

"It's like a non stop knockin' shop on that ship" I feel like I'm missing 10 layers of meaning by being not native eng speaker
