SCOTLAND FOREVERRR 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🪺

This is a Good Omens 2 Easter egg I've yet to see anyone else point out.

When Aziraphale is in Edinburgh investigating the record mystery, he borrows a cell phone from a Scottish man to call Crowley.

The busted old phone has a Union Jack wallpaper.

Once Crowley hangs up, Aziraphale miraculously repairs the phone to say thank you, as well as putting blessings upon Twitter and Grindr.

The blessed phone also now has a Scottish flag wallpaper! 😇

I interpret this as a pretty clear statement from Neil Gaiman supporting Scottish independence.

Made a video about this for TikTok too.

Supernatural borrowed a lot of from Good Omens, save for that crap ending. Now, with Dead Boy Detectives, Neil Gaiman wrote a love letter to Supernatural fans with Jeremy Carver producing DBD, Steve Yockey the writer who damn near gave us canon Destiel but walked away from the queerbait bullshit bc as a gay man himself, he wouldn't put up with it, and has selected our beloved Queen of Hell Miss Ruthie Connell as the joyful night nurse, and got our pint size badass Archangel Gabriel's actor Richard Speight Jr. and our CEO of heaven herself, Amanda Tapping to direct, along with every episode starring Vancouver based actors who were also in Supernatural AND a TON OF EASTER EGGS(THANK YOU NEIL!)

Guys. Let's talk about the Eccles cakes. Shall we?

When Crowley orders six shots of espresso, Aziraphale considerately asks for something that "calms people down". Nina then suggests him to get Eccles cakes.

Now the word, "Eccles" originally means "The church". It foreshadowed the season finale where Aziraphale asks Crowley to join heaven. It is a callback to Crowley being the (sauntered-vaguely-downwards) fallen angel. Crowley was given a choice to join heaven again. To eat the Eccles cake. But he doesn't. He doesn't want to be calmed down and hushed. He has found his voice, his own side. He knows the truth about Heaven and Hell and God.

The Eccles cake is also called the "squashed fly cake' because the inside is filled with black currants. This could be a metaphor for hell. How Crowley was also asked back to hell and he said no.

Aziraphale ordering Eccles cakes shows the inner struggle that he is facing. He cares for Crowley. He wants to be there for him. But at the same time, he believes whole heartedly in heaven. He still thinks of God's plan as ineffable. As indubitable. He believes that Crowley and he will be happier in Heaven. He fails to see that even if heaven seems to be the side of "truth and light", on the inside it's all squashed flies. It's just as bad as hell. That when heaven ends life on earth it will be just as dead as hell ended it.

One Easter egg that I like a lot in the Dead Boy Detectives series on Netflix is that when Charles and Edwin are talking in the closest(heh-) there's at least three different editions of the board game Clue(if not more? Maybe five?). Which of course. Makes me curious.

Did the office closet already have a couple of them and Charles decided to add to it for a gag?

Is it perhaps Edwin's favorite game when he was alive, and therefore they collect them just for nostalgia purposes?

Or maybe, just maybe, they used them for training purposes to ensure that they knew how to solve their cases? That seems like a thing two teenaged kids would do. Especially since there's multiple ways to play each edition.

Somebody please tell me there's a fanfiction where Edwin and Charles are sat aggressively hunched over the board game, flipping through cards and clues and notepads and just completely pulling at their hair trying to figure out one of the mysteries while a timer is ticking on the desk because Edwin thought it'd be "fun" to challenge themselves on how fast they could solve it.

Bessie and the Bentley Yellow

A while ago I started rewatching Doctor Who. So I saw Bessie 🤩 the yellow car of the Third Doctor, and of other Doctors after him.In Good Omens there are many Doctor Who Easter eggs, could the yellow Bentley be one of them, in honor of Bessie? 💛💛Possible, right? 😊

[kiwiaok]

since my aftg hunger games au is still in the making and it’ll probably take at least a few months more till I start posting imma just throw snippets in here every now then. just to remind anyone interested that I haven’t given up yet

for now, the very beginning of the very first chapter

[sconesfortea]

A look at the S2 title sequence:

Crowley lights a match "Let there be light"

As with the first season, all (nearly all?) the faces of these figures are made up for David & Michael's faces

Gabriel & his box

We see Job's goats, his children's house, the permit, & crows with goat legs

In the graveyard we see a tomb with 'Archer' on it, graves with 'Everyday', 'Peter Paintball', 'Jane Austen', 'Left early to avoid the rush', 'Here lies the former shell of Beelzebub', & 'Here lies Adam "I do not understand surely your very existence requires the ending of the world" '

In the last image from the graveyard you can see the blue lizard in the parade

Gabriel's box can be seen again behind the cross on the left

In hell we see the n**i eating spider, desks & office chairs, a pentagram, unicorn (?) skulls, a guillotine & buildings in the background

In the bombed out London streets we see a gents toilet sign, an tube sign, a double decker bus with 'Wings For Victory' on the side, a 30 mph speed limit sign & a poster for 'Stairway to Heaven'

In The Windmill theatre we can see the turnip in the background. It's raining rabbits & there is a large bronze rabbit on its side on the ground

The backs of the seats have plaques with book titles on, they are: A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, The Crow Road by Iain Banks, & Good Omens by Terry Pratchett. All of these books appear in Aziraphale's shop, being organised by Jim. There is also another bronze rabbit sitting in a seat & a green hat hanging on The Crow Road seat, this is the book we see Muriel reading in ep 6

We see another bronze rabbit, this time in a spacesuit, as Aziraphale & Crowley dance around each other

This is possibly Alpha Centauri between Crowley & Aziraphale, slightly closer to Crowley

'Thy Kingdom Airways' and tartan grass

Piles of records surround the coffee shop & jukebox, as it rains hearts that smash on impact with the ground. Some of the records have things visible on them but I can't make them out

We see the parade pass lifts, with angels descending from heaven

Leading the parade is Saraqael, followed closely by a dark figure carrying a giant coffee cup on their back. idk about the coffee theory but there's no denying that coffee cup [Edit: the coffee cup appears at least 3 times, only from modern times on though]

Each episode the marquee and posters on the cinema change to match the episode title. The cinema is called 'The Parousia', parousia refers to the second coming

Inside the cinema there is a duck playing the accordion (or possibly half duck/half accordion hybrid idk) under the seats, on the left. [ETA: as @straphangerr has pointed out this is a reference to Mr Brown's newspaper that's on the back of his clipboard throughout the series] There is also a duck headed figure in one of the booths in the wall. Above which there seems to be a Crowley/Aziraphale couple kissing (maybe?)

Again we get a different screen for each episode here

The ship below them here says 'P.A. Resurrectionist' on it. It is the same ship sticking out of the "mountain" as the title comes up

All through the titles we see the parade carrying flags & banners

[broken-heart-raven-queen]

Wich Matt Groening show would be the favourite of each Fox (+ Jerejean)?? I'm glad you asked because I know too much of this topic:

(Dis)Enchantment: Andrew, Kevin, Dan, Renee, Jeremy.

The Simpsons: Aaron, Nicky, Seth, Matt.

Futurama: Neil, Allison, Jean.

[destielvestiges]

When The Doctor proposed to the Toymaker, it was a Good Omens reference right? The way David's face changed to Crowley's when he said... 'celestial'... That was a reference. RIGHT?

An Ineffable timeline of costumes: more additions!

Some of them taken from the trivia section in Prime Video and behind the scenes with Kate Carin.

Others taken from the TV script. (N.A. and brother Francis).

Part 1 is here. (And all links thus to other parts).

[polywomp]

‘Lose a friend’

‘Surprise coming’

Gah!!!! Those are my kind of Easter eggs

[velveteencryptid]

Just finished rewatching Good Omens season 2 for the first time and so many Easter eggs but dear god I have theories about who Crowley was as an angel now and also damnit you beautiful dummies why are you so dumb

[go-go-devil]

I still can't FUCKING BELIEVE that we live in a universe where the author of The Sandman, one of the most beloved comic series for women and queer people of all time, has done MORE physical harm to women than pedophile groomer/ultimate vocal misogynist DAVE GODDAMN SIM

[goodomens-girlie]

does crowley ever eat in good omens?

even in the second episode when he offers Aziraphale the Ox ribs, he doesn’t eat any of it

he drinks all the bloody time but he never eats
