thinking about her again (1941 flashback)

[rada-76]

Clock in fin-15. Quarter and three quarters

(Перевод на русский в конце поста/Translation into Russian at the end of the post)

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Season 2 speaks to us in the language of symbols. An important place in this language is occupied by quarters. And those numbers that are divisible by 4.

The final scene lasts 15 minutes, which is a quarter of an hour.

A Shostakovich record in Maggie's shop costs 8 pounds 75 cents.

It is interesting that "8 pounds" is divisible by 4. And most importantly, that "75 cents" is three quarters of a pound (in the modern monetary system).

The trick "Bullet Catch" cost 7 pounds 5 shillings, and (in the monetary system of 1941) "5 shillings" is a quarter of a pound.

You see, quarters are not an accident!

In the final scene, we see a clock behind Crowley.

The hour hand points to 9 o'clock, and the minute hand points to 25 minutes.

9 o'clock is three quarters of 12 o'clock - a round dial.

25 minutes is a quarter of 100 - a round number.

Mismatch of Azicrow's encodings! One of them represents a quarter, and one of them represents the other three quarters. And if they were in the same coordinate system and spoke the same language, they would understand each other.

I found out something else:

- The duration of the shot on stage is 30 seconds.

-The duration of the kiss in the finale is 40 seconds.

I found a lot of confirmation that the system of symbols of the second season says: 3 is the number of death, 4 is the number of love.

Часы в фин-15. Четверть и три четверти

Сезон 2 говорит с нами на языке символов. Важное место в этом языке занимают четверти. И то, что делится на 4.

Финальная сцена длится 15 минут, а это четверть часа. 

Пластинка Шостаковича в магазине Мэгги стоит 8 фунтов 75 центов. Любопытно, что "8 фунтов" делится на 4. И главное, что а "75 центов"  – это три четверти фунта (по современной денежной системе).

Фокус “Ловля пули” стоил 7 фунтов 5 шиллингов, а (по денежной системе 1941 года) "5 шиллингов" – это четверть фунта.

Видите, четверти – не случайность!

В финальной сцене за спиной Кроули мы видим часы. Часовая стрелка показывает на 9 часов, а минутная – на 25 минут. 

9 часов – это без четверти 12 часов, круглый циферблат. 

25 мин – четверть от 100, круглое число. 

Несовпадение кодировок у Азикроу! Кто-то из них олицетворяет четверть, а кто-то остальные три четверти. И если бы они находились в одной системе координат и говорили на одном языке, то поняли бы друг друга.

Я выяснила еще кое-что: 

Длительность выстрела на сцене — 30 секунд.

Длительность поцелуя в финале — 40 секунд. 

Я нашла много подтверждений, что в системе символов сезона 3 — это число смерти, а 4 — это число любви.

scrolling through my social media, I just found out that people didn't get the fact that the kiss between crowley and aziraphale is not what shows that they're in love, since season 1 I keep paying attention in a lot of movements, words and looks that shows how they love each other.

in season one, in the rain scene that happened in Garden of eden in the first episode, it was the exact point when i first understood that the story was a love story

and the scenes where crowley rescues aziraphale (my favorite the 1941 one) and how in season 2 when aziraphale says "... but rescuing me makes him so happy. " proves that he knows it and how important this is for both of them, it shows a lot how they love each other

other point I can say is when beelzebub and gabriel hold hands in front of azicrow, the angels and demons the first thing aziraphale does is touch crowley shoulder and keep looking at him while the angels and demons were arguing to decide what do to them

my point is, even if the kiss hadn't happen, good omens was already a love story since day one, and couples don't need to kiss to prove that they're in love cause there's so many things that shows how they love and appreciate each other

the kiss had a lot of meanings but was not to prove that they're in love cause they had been loving each other for such a long, long time

[unforgivablego]

I don't like how people after Comic Con continue to be unhappy. I mean, Neil gave us literally everything. That is, this is the best that he could provide nine months before the release of the S2. The content could've come out much later, I think around May when the official trailer comes out. But we were just given so much interesting cool information literally a year before the release and people just say that they don't like it.

I a little understand why people felt bad abot Neil because of the S1. Like there was no official confirmation of the relationship of the main characters. It meant that the cherished "I love you" didn't sound. Like, the second Sherlock, queerbaiting, Neil wants to get more audience using homo relationships that are so popular right now. But hey, Neil always said that AziCrow were in love. This was long before gay relationships in movies were the norm.

The book was published over 30 years ago. In the fucking book were so many hints of something between the main characters that I don’t understand why people even get pissed off. You don’t need to run far for an example, let’s take everyone’s favorite: “Just remember I’ll have known that, deep down inside, you were just enough of a bastard to be worth liking,” — which literally sounds like “you are a fool, but I love you / you gave your flaming sword to people and impressed me to the depths of the soul,” or when they hold hands, saying their last words to each other before they die, or “Come up with something or… or I’ll never talk to you again,” after which Crowley just stops damn time, because, of course not talking to an angel is much worse than death. Guys, the rest of the characters in the book think that they are together, people and angels, Shadwell generally calls them a couple of Southern pansies (thanks for correct me). “Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide.” — many also liked this moment. And that's not all there is. And the book was published in the 90s!

In the S1 were many new scenes built mainly on the development of their relationship. There were events that were not in the book at all, which were invented specifically for the series to diversify the concept of their "from enemies to lovers" canon. In the third series Neil gave us excerpts from different time periods, in which AziCrow gradually converge.

The most popular scene in 1941, when Crowley runs into the church to pull the angel out of the hands of the enemies, knowing full well that Aziraphale can do it himself at any moment. BUT NO, he like a real knight, runs to save his princess on the consecrated ground, which burns his legs and, most importantly, saves fucking angelic favorite books. “You are important to me, take the books that I saved at the cost of my own life,” — he doesn't say this, but hey, how obvious is it, especially after the words: “I don’t need you, I have lots of people to fraternize with, Angel,” he said in a fit of anger at the last meeting. He apologizes for 1862 and tries to say that he has no one but an angel. When they, a minute earlier, after so many years of quarreling, start such a stupid conversation about a name change:

“- Anthony?

- You don't like it?

- No, no. I don't say that. I'll get used to it”

Because there's nothing that Aziraphale couldn't get used to in Crowley. Despite the differences, they will always be together, they still have a whole life ahead to discuss it. This short, ridiculous conversation is actually very important. Here Crowley understands that Aziraphale in his: “I’ll get used to it,” — informs (yes, that’s the word) that they will see each other again and more than once, that this quarrel is not an obstacle to their relationship. And then Crowley says, very gently, “Lift home,” as if he knows for sure that the angel is okay with it. The only question is, whose home are you going to, Crowley? Since when do you have one concept of home for two?

The whole mess is completed by a freaking shot in which angel looks at Crowley in such a way that here only a stupid person will not understand what the heck he is thinking about. As the background color changes from gray to pinkish, the music, Crowley heroically leaves the frame and this damned love look after him, that the viewer just sits there thinking: "Oh, look at this blushing bastard — he is so in love." All that's missing is some romantic 40s song that starts off with something along the lines of "And I realized..." Because Aziraphale really realizes in this scene that his feelings are mutual. Somewhere someone wrote that in this scene Aziraphale doesn't fall in love with Crowley and I so much agree with this. In this scene, the angel is already in love, but before that he didn't know if Crowley could feel something in return, and the freaking “I don’t need you,” — in 1862 finished him off. He thought Crowley had someone to hang out with besides him, that Crowley doesn't need him. It hurt him. But Crowley had just walked into the church for only him and saved his books at the cost of his life. This is not a moment of awareness of his love, this is not "the princess fell in love with the prince who saved her from the dragon and they lived happily ever after." This is the moment when Aziraphale realizes that YES — he is loved in return.

And Crowley's “I'll give you a lift, anywhere you want to go”, in gratitude for holy water, in 1967. Crowley, you're sitting in a car right across from Aziraphale's shop. Where are you gonna take him? You planned to rob a church a stone's throw from the angel's house. “I'll give you a lift, anywhere you want to go”. To where?

Aziraphale also excelled just great: “No thanks. Perhaps one day we could go for a picnic. Dine at the Ritz,” which definitely means, “One day we'll have a date and I'll let you do whatever you want, but not now”.

“You go too fast for me, Crowley,” — that he said in the end, leaves the viewer in a knockout. Because this phrase makes us understand that they have not been talking about friendship all this time. Here it is, the official confirmation of their love. Aziraphale gives him holy water, which means: “Despite everything, you are very important to me, I don't want to lose you, but I trust you”. He's trying to make sure Crowley knows he's loved. And Crowley understands, Crowley is used to speed and he takes the next step, but Aziraphale stops him: “Can you give me some time?”. Aziraphale is not ready, he just got here and hasn't yet got used to it. The phrase: “You go too fast for me,” sounds in most direct meaning — everything is developing too quickly, I can’t keep up with you, could you wait a little more? It finally hits me.

Fucking flirting in a scene in the Bastille during the French Revolution. Yes, then they still didn't have any definite understanding of what was happening, but I think in those years the atmosphere of the 18th century had a special influence. Debauchery, accessibility, openness and lack of shame in people. It seems to me that this was precisely what caused Aziraphale to flirt so openly and intricately. And of course the clothes. It was so seductive.

This is the best scene ever and I won't stop thinking that. What Michael as Aziraphale is doing here — OMG, his game should be banned from showing to kids because it's freaking so obscene it's embarrassing. The way he just lights up when he hears a familiar voice behind him, the way he pronounces his name, so joyfully, as if it weren't Crowley, but the She Goddes herself, who condescended to talking with a mere mortal. Angel, hello, Crowley just said about the cruelty of people, where did you swim, stop your vulgar thoughts and focus. The way Aziraphale scans him from head to toe, the way he sighs languidly, and then the phrase: “Oh... Good Lord,” said with such an expression as if Crowley had suddenly undressed in front of him. The short appraising looks that the angel gives him, as if Crowley is more sweeter than any pancake for which he swam the channel during the revolution (yes, we definitely believe you, Aziraphale) — these are the looks that are called undressing, here it is, in full physical incarnation. And the situation in which the angel allegedly fell. It's just not possible to describe how obvious it is on purpose. He's handcuffed in a local prison that definitely looks like a dragon's castle, waiting to be killed by the guillotine (isn't that romantic already?), dressed in his chicest outfit, even fucking changed his hair — for the first time in 5,000+ years! — and pretends to be very helpless, playing his standard: “I'm an angel”. He can literally snap his fingers and be home. But what does he do? He lets Crowley take care of him, creating a situation similar to rescuing a poor helpless princess from the tower, while portraying such affected and understandable innocence, as if he is not an angel, but a whore maiden who argues before losing her virginity. And why is he doing all this? Why do you think? Because at the end he just invites Crowley to bloody dinner. I fucking love this scene.

"You're my best friend" playing in the background as Crowley tries to find Aziraphale in the burned down bookshop. And the words: “You make me live, whenever this world is cruel to me,” — just aches in the heart. Even though the angel was wrong a thousand times (only because he tried to protect the two of them, sometimes out of stupidity, angelic naivety and a desire to do everything right — yes, they sometimes behave as stupidly, just like people), Crowley still considers him his closest person (?) (creature rather).

A small heart on Aziraphale's contact screensaver on his phone when Crowley can't get through (maybe an accident).

And then when he walks into a burning bookshop and breaks down for the first time in 6 episodes. He's really emotional in this scene. It's so unexpected that it's unnatural to see him like that. His voice is different, he no longer controls the tone and words, for the first time his walk tense, in this scene he cries, which has never happened before. Aziraphale is dead and Crowley feels and expresses as many emotions as he has never felt and expressed in all the 6,000 years that we have been shown. When Fredy goes into post-chorus in the background, I love that part so much. Did anyone even notice that in this scene he literally confesses his love? At the end, Crowley yells “Somebody killed my best friend!” — I can't, it's just heartbreaking.

“It's a big universe. Even if this all ends in a puddle of goo, we can go off together,” — I won't stop crying from now on, my heart shrinks every time (this is one of my favorite scenes, every word really hurts).

“I don't even like you!” — thrown by the angel for no clear purpose: to convince himself of this or to hurt Crowley. And Crowley's “You do!” in response, because, Aziraphale, who are you trying to fool. 6000 years together and you never once thought about to stop communicating. Potential enemies communicate with each other only in two cases: if they are ordered from Above, or if they themselves want it. Remind me when you received a request from the Heavenly Chancellery: "You must get close to the enemy in order to find out his insidious plans." Don't remember? No one remembers, because there was no such thing.

And when Crowley again offers to run away together in a couple of hours — YES! — Alpha Centauri — the best place to wait out the apocalypse, the main thing is not to forget my husband, otherwise he's not at all a person dear to me and in general we had a fight today, I strongly offended, but without him I won’t move a finger in the direction of escape. I'd rather die right here than start saving my carcass without this stupid feathered asshole.

Also don't forget about «holding hands» scene in a bus.

I’m not sure I have much time to end this digging.

And even this is not enough for people? The series not only improves the book and confirms their romantic line, but with the help of the actors and their wonderful performance, creates a masterpiece using gestures, facial expressions and removing innuendo, taking away the opportunity to imagine something left, allowing you to focus on what your eyes see.

Neil said three hundred times that this is a fucking love story. And people just shit in his canon and say: they didn’t say “I love you”, they don’t fuck, what kind of love is that, you're doing everything for popularity. Shut your fucking mouths! Neil is just tired of repeating endlessly that they are an angel and a demon, they are supernatural entities that do not fall within the framework of human relations. Their love is on another level. They are not gay because angels and demons are genderless, which means they have no gender (which also means they can choose their gender at will and change at will, as Crowley did). They are not asexual, because these concepts are invented also for people.

And you know what? Neil just spat in the faces of the fans with a fucking poster of the AziCrow standing in front of a fucking heart made of wings. “Here it is, just choke with this your's canon, here are both main characters against the background of the wrong organ which means love to you, and just try to say that this is not an official confirmation of their relationship.” He crumpled up a piece of shit that prevented him from living and smeared it all over our faces. “Eat,” he says, “I am a local Goddess here and have descended to give you food (for fanfiction). Don’t thank.”

Neil talked about how after the events of the proposed third season, they would move into a fucking cottage in the St. Downs and live together like fucking old husbands. He gave a nod to Crowley's already-acting move to Aziraphale's bookshop at Comic-Con, showing exactly that moment from S2 and no other. In a bloody interview after the panel, he revealed that this season is gonna be "quiet and gentle and romantic" compared to the first and hypothetically third season, and given that the show will have 2 kisses - just choke on fucking tears of happiness. He bombarded Tumblr with answers to leading questions, gave information about when the S2 would be released approximately, leaked new characters, a teaser, part of the plot, a concept photo and people like: we don’t like it. So what is wrong with you, guys? Because I believe that what we have is the best that could be, the best that we could have. And we got it for absolutely nothing.

Yes, golden potato jokes are funny, I wrote a couple myself. And kindly mocking Neil can be fun too, especially when we get the same thing in return. It's a relationship between the author and the fandom, and I really like it. But let's at least sometimes be understanding and patient. I don't like to watch other people's dissatisfaction knowing how much Neil has done for us. So I want you to don't forget about it too. No need to buzz about the teaser and video that we didn't get for Christmas. We all want to please Beelzebub with a tick in front of the task “Annoy Neil every day”, but can we show angelic patience? Neil knows what he's doing. Let's trust him.

[p4nishers]

ok but the fact that "aziraphale is softening. they haven't spoken in a hundred years: he's realizing they're still friends" and "there's no need to thank me that's what...friends...are for" was in the same night is making me go INSANE

[rada-76]

Quarters. What does the price of “Bullet Catch” mean?

(Перевод на русский в конце поста/Translation into Russian at the end of the post)

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

I continue to watch how beautifully numbers are integrated into season 2. This is the language of symbols. The numbers that were used when talking about the price of the “Catch the Bullet” trick tell me about death and about love. Look!

I will use the hint again - the clock in fin-15.

They are important, this is indicated by the ticking throughout the final conversation between Aziraphale and Crowley. Because the clock is a clue.

9 o'clock is three quarters of 12 o'clock, a round dial.

25 minutes is a quarter of 100, a round number.

This is a symbol of the fact that in the finale there was a mismatch of encodings at Azicrow. But the clock is also the key to the riddle that is hidden in the price of the trick. We see that the quarters are important.

The cost of the trick "Bullet Catch".

To understand the prices that were announced in 1941 in the trick shop, I must say that in those years 20 shillings were equal to one pound. According to the plot, "catch the bullet" is a story about the threat of death and about love. The numbers confirm this twice, I will tell you now. "2", "4" and "8" are symbols of happy couples.

And "3" is a symbol of death (three swords in the trick shop). And three quarters mean misunderstanding in a couple, as a missing segment for happiness. So, we were told that:

7 pounds and 5 shillings is the cost of "Catch the Bullet" 4 pounds and 15 shillings is the cost of a rifle

We can notice that:

5 shillings is a quarter 15 shillings is three quarters 4 pounds is the number of love. 7 pounds? But why?

Yes, God loves sevens. But in the system of clues, fours and eights are opposed to threes. And sevens do not carry a symbolic load, except to mean Heaven, as sixes mean Hell. But here the seven gives an interesting effect: reasoning leads to the meaning “love and death”.

Let's begin the investigation!

First meaning. 4 + 3 = 7 (love + death).

Second meaning.

The price of the rifle together with the trick is 12 pounds. If it were not for this 7, then 12 would not have been obtained. (7 pounds + 4 pounds + 5 shillings + 20 shillings = 12 pounds)

"12"! The seller Goldstone said that during the performance of this trick 12 people died. A bad omen!

But 12 is divisible by both 4 and 3, which means it contains both love and death.

So, 7 pounds? Why? Because this seven tells us twice: “love and death.”

Crowley offered to pay 27 pounds and 5 shillings for the trick.

Why this price?

If "27" is a quarter, then 27 * 4 = 108.

108 = 100 + 8. 100 is the complete number of minutes on the clock, if the 25 minutes we see are a quarter. 8 is also a good omen.

And "27" is 2 + 7 = 9.

"9" is the hour hand, 9 o'clock is three quarters of a circle.

How much did Crowley add on top of the required price?

The trick cost £12. So he added £15 and 5 shillings.

First meaning. The numbers 15 and 5 themselves resemble three quarters and a quarter (of the number 20). Second meaning. 15 is a quarter of the 60 minutes on the dial. 5 shillings is a quarter of a pound.

I wonder if "quarter" and "three quarters" mean Aziraphale and Crowley respectively, or vice versa, Crowley and Aziraphale. Maybe one quarter is a smaller, weaker and more dependent partner? In a subconscious understanding - more passive? Or maybe, on the contrary, one segment of the circle resembles an active penetration into the space of the other three quarters. On the one hand, by adding money for the purchase, Crowley adapts to Aziraphale's desire, indulges him, as if recognizing his leadership. But on the other hand - by doing this, he takes control of the situation, using his wallet. Interpret it as you want, whether this is a passive or active position. :) In my opinion, the duality of meanings is beautiful. Each of the husbands complements the second to the whole! ❤️

Bonus:

Azi uses the word "quite".

Crowley: "Are you sure you are sure?" Aziraphale: "Quite sure".

And that word sounds like "quarter". Sounds play a role in this symbolic language, too.

More amazing finds in Good Omens S2 are here.

Четверти. Что значит цена “Ловли пули”?

Продолжаю смотреть, как красиво в сезон 2 встроены цифры. Это язык символов. Числа, которые использованы, когда разговор шел о цене фокуса “Ловля пули” говорят мне о смерти и о любви. Смотрите!

Я снова буду использовать подсказку - часы в фин-15. Они важны, об этом говорит нам тиканье в течение всего финального разговора Азирафеля и Кроули. Потому что это ключ. Улика.

 - 9 часов – это три четверти от 12 часов, круглый циферблат.

 - 25 мин – это четверть от 100, круглое число.

Это символ того, что в финале произошло несовпадение кодировок у Азикроу. Но это и ключ к загадке, которая спрятана в цене фокуса. Мы видим, что важны четверти.

Стоимость фокуса “Ловля пули”.

Чтобы разобрать цены, которые названы в 1941 году в магазине фокусов, я должна сказать, что в те годы 20 шиллингов равнялись одному фунту.

По сюжету “Ловля пули” - это история об угрозе смерти и о любви. Цифры два раза подтверждают это, сейчас расскажу.

Двойки, четверки и восьмерки - это символы счастливых пар. 

А тройки - это символ смерти (три меча в магазине фокусов). А еще три четверти означают разлад в паре, как недостающий сегмент для счастья.

Итак, нам сказали, что:

7 фунтов и 5 шиллингов стоит “Ловля пули” 4 фунта и 15 шиллингов стоит винтовка 

Мы можем заметить, что:

5 шиллингов - это четверть 15 шиллингов - это три четверти 4 фунта - число любви. 7 фунтов? Но почему?

Да, Бог любит семёрки. Но в системе подсказок четверки и восьмерки противопоставлены тройкам. А семерки не несут символической нагрузки, разве что означают Рай, как шестерки означают Ад. Но здесь семерка дает интересный эффект: рассуждения приводят к значению “любовь и смерть”. 

Начнем расследование!

Первое значение. 4 + 3 = 7(любовь + смерть).

Второе значение.

Цена винтовки вместе с фокусом равна 12 фунтов ровно. Если бы не эта 7, то 12 не получилось бы.

(7 фунтов + 4 фунтов + 5 шилл. + 20 шилл. = 12 фунтов) 

12! Продавец сказал, что во время исполнения этого фокуса погибло 12 человек. Дурное знамение! 

Но 12 делится и на 4, и на 3, а значит, содержит и любовь, и смерть. 

Итак, 7 фунтов? Почему? Потому что эта семерка два раза говорит нам: “любовь и смерть”. 

Кроули предложил заплатить за фокус 27 фунтов и 5 шиллингов.

Почему столько?

Если "27" - это четверть, то 27 * 4 = 108.

108 = 100 + 8. 100 - это завершенное число минут на часах, если 25 минут, которые мы видим - это четверть.  8 - это тоже благое знамение.

А ещё "27" - это 2 + 7 = 9.

"9" - это часовая стрелка, 9 часов - это три четверти от круга.

Сколько Кроули добавил сверх необходимой цены? 

Фокус стоил 12 фунтов. Значит, он добавил 15 фунтов и 5 шиллингов. 

Первое значение. 

Числа 15 и 5 сами по себе напоминают три четверти и четверть (от числа 20).

Второе значение.

15 - это четверть от 60-ти минут на циферблате.

5 шиллингов - это четверть от фунта.

Мне интересно, означает ли четверть и три четверти Азирафеля и Кроули соответственно, или наоборот, Кроули и Азирафеля. Может, одна четверть - это более маленький, слабый и зависимый партнер? В подсознательном понимании - более пассивный? А может быть, наоборот, один сегмент круга напоминает активное проникновение в пространство остальных трех четвертей.

С одной стороны, добавляя деньги для покупки, Кроули подстраивается под желание Азирафеля, потакает ему, как бы признавая его лидерство. Но с другой стороны - этим он берет ситуацию под свой контроль, используя его кошелек. Трактуйте сами, пассивная это позиция или активная. :)

По моему, двойственность значений прекрасна. Любой из мужей дополняет второго до целого! ❤️

Бонус: Ази использует слово quite(вполне).
