anyone else think about what thing theyd choose if they were one of the bikers of the apocalypse? like how pigbog and big ted and scuzz and greaser chose to be really cool people and gbh and answer phones and stuff? me personally, id choose ‘internet discourse’

The Minor Four Horseperson’s Bikes... now, there are some bikes with a story behind them. Pigbog, Greaser, Skuzz and Big Ted were definitely causing their own kind of chaos before they decided to follow after the real Horsepersons. After all, Big Ted hid out from the law in a hotel for a while with nothing to but read a Bible left behind by some dude named Gideon. This is why he’s so well-versed in Revelation. Too bad these four didn't make it into the show. Don't ask me why three guys in this gif have the same bike, but the fourth rider's is different. I have no idea.

📣✨ Good Omens Tarot Deck Charity Raffle! 🤩

Hello, friends, I have some exciting news! This last year or so I've been drawing a GO-themed tarot deck for my beloved @aestheticcluttercore, and it's finally finished!

However, the printing company accidentally sent me an extra deck - so I'm raffling it off for charity 🥰

These are hand-drawn, original designs based on the book as opposed to the show. The Major Arcana all have unique designs, and then the Minor Arcana have GO-inspired takes on each suit (flaming swords, 1990 shillings, teacups and magic wands) and for the face cards with Pterry's hat for kings, Crowley's tapes for queens, Pigbog my beloved for knights, and The Nice and Accurate Prophecies for pages.

The rules of entry are simple:

Make a donation to your charity of choice

Send me a screenshot of your receipt

I'll put your name in the draw and pick a winner at random

Entries will close at midnight UK time on November 28th 2022, and I'll announce the winner on November 30th.

You can choose any charity you like, whether it's a tiny organisation doing good work in your area or a certain archive we all know and love. The choice is 100% yours! There's no minimum donation, and you can enter as many times as you like - just send me a unique receipt for each donation. Feel free to share this on whatever platforms you like, but I'll only be accepting entries through Tumblr.

Once entries close, I'll pick someone at random and get in touch, so make sure you have your ask box open or some other way of contacting you! I'll cover the costs of postage, including for international postage.

My askbox is open for questions, and I'll tag any future posts with '#indie's tarot raffle' so I can keep track of things.

Good luck, everyone. Let's see how much we can raise!

Pigbog 

AKA Cool People (used to be Ansaphones)

[magnetothemagnificent]

"Really cool people," he said at last. 

"I hate them." "Really cool people?" said Things Not Working Properly Even After You've Given Them A Good Thumping. 

"Yeah. You know. The kind you see on telly, with stupid haircuts, only on them it dun't look stupid 'cos it's them. They wear baggy suits, an' you're not allowed to say they're a bunch of wankers. I mean, speaking for me, what I always want to do when I see one of them is push their faces very slowly through a barbed-wire fence. An' what I think is this." 

He took a deep breath. He was sure this was the longest speech he had ever made in his life. [Except for one about ten years earlier, throwing himself on the mercy of the court.]

"What I think is this. If they get up my nose like that, they pro'lly get up everyone else's." 

"Yeah," said Cruelty to Animals. "An' they all wear sunglasses even when they dunt need 'em."

"Eatin' runny cheese, and that stupid bloody No Alcohol Lager," said Things Not Working Properly Even After You've Given Them A Good Thumping. 

"I hate that stuff. What's the point of drinking the stuff if it dun't leave you puking? Here, I just thought. Can I change again, so I'm No Alcohol Lager?" 

"No you bloody can't," said Grievous Bodily Harm. "You've changed once already."

"Anyway," said Pigbog. 

"That's why I wonter be Really Cool People."

I think we all know who the bikers are really describing XD

[goodomensprompts]

For the book!omens and radio!omens fans out there, since these characters unfortunately did not make it into the miniseries: Post-Armaggedon’t, Adam restored the Other Horsemen to life, along with the rest of the civilian casualties. Let’s see them in the aftermath of the apocalypse. How are Big Ted/Grievous Bodily Harm, Pigbog/Really Cool People, Greaser/Cruelty to Animals, and Skuzz/People Covered In Fish coping? What (if anything) do they remember of their wild ride? Were they affected by any of Adam’s little modifications (a la bookshop inventory and Dick Turpin)? Are they reformed men? Bent on revenge against the actual apocalyptic horsepersons (“right bastards” that they are)? Just having fun hanging out on their motorcycles and running afoul of the law? Let’s find out!

Apocalypse week event! — book!Omens prompts!

Have you seen... something unusual lately? Perhaps you saw something out of the corner of your eye, but when you turned around it wasn’t there?

Not to worry! You aren’t going crazy. It’s just  — please don’t be alarmed  — we’re a week away from the Apocalypse!!

Well, the Apocalypse’s anniversary, at any rate. Happens every year around these days... like we said! Nothing to worry about!

To commemorate this event and make our offerings to Herself so she doesn’t put down a new Apocalypse in her Divine Agenda, we’ve decided to put together a list of quotes from the Good Omens book, in hopes of inspiring you to write anything Apocalypse related! We’ve chosen to focus on the Other Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but feel free to regale us with anything book!themed!

"You're Hell's Angels, then?" asked Big Ted, sarcastically. If there's one thing real Hell's Angels can't abide, it's weekend bikers.

The Tall Stranger looked at Big Ted. Then he stood up. It was a complicated motion; if the shores of the seas of night had deck chairs, they'd open up something like that. He seemed to be unfolding himself forever.

REVELATIONS, he said, CHAPTER SIX. "Verses two to eight," added the boy in white, helpfully.

"I heard what you said. It's not what you said. Everyone heard what you said. What did you mean, that's what I wanter know?"

Pigbog wished he'd paid more attention to the Book of Revelation. If he'd known he was going to be in it, he'd have read it more carefully. 

"So we're the other Four Horse—, um, Bikers of the Apocalypse. So which ones are we?"

The lights of passing cars shot past them in the opposite lane, lightning after-imaged the clouds, and the silence was close to absolute.

“I'm Grievous Bodily Harm. That's me.”

"Can I be Rubbish?" asked Skuzz. "Or Embarrassing Personal Problems?"

Grievous Bodily Harm, Embarrassing Personal Problems, Pigbog and Greaser.

"I wonter be Cruelty to Animals," said Greaser. Pigbog wondered if he was for or against it. Not that it really mattered.

And there you go! It’ll be up to you how they get written, but we’d be delighted to reblog any and all of your creations if you want to send them our way, or tag us @crownofthornspod​

Good Omens was great and im in Love my only complaint is that i didnt get to see pigbog and the Other Bikers Of The Apocalypse in live action tv glory. Where was grievous bodily harm!!!

[collectedbooks]

finally finished the good omens script book, under the cut are my favorite points of interest! most have to do with aziraphale, but there’s a lot for crowley too.

aziraphale sasses the hell out of crowley about his antichrist birth organization skills

aziraphale saying “oh sugar” instead of oh shit...

everyday by buddy holly is the theme song, love that

aziraphale doesn’t know how an ansaphone works. this was in the book too but it’s still funny

aziraphale brought shortbread for the drive to the convent. does he think this is a date? please say yes

crowley asked aziraphale if heaven wouldn’t give him (crowley) asylum and aziraphale was going to ask him the same about hell

aziraphale says “what the hell” after pointedly not swearing earlier. hypocrite ass

aziraphale is fine with killing the antichrist himself but gets upset about the humans killing each other at tadfield manor....thinks he’s always doing the Right Thing but knows it’s the Wrong Thing if the humans do it? hypocrisy

“aziraphale is rather enjoying having the upper hand in the ideas department for once”

crowley says “dude. chill.”

“for a moment his noble better nature rejects the idea out of hand. THEN HE FALLS...”

“aziraphale is softening. they haven’t spoken in a hundred years: he’s realizing they are still friends.”

why was shadwell in prison?? america explain

“i work in soho, i hear things” aziraphale has eyes and ears everywhere; patron saint of soho confirmed

the neon halo blinking on and off above aziraphale’s head is the HARDEST that neil gaiman has ever gone

michael: when your cause is just you do not hesitate to smite the foe, aziraphale. there’s that ideology that aziraphale is trying to shed.

“crowley looks back. he looks at aziraphale. above them, a beautiful starry sky. and crowley softens.”   jesus janthony christ.

“aziraphale is looking for someone. he spies a human statue dressed as an angel, with wings. it’s not him.”   GOD

gabriel about aziraphale: “i’m disappointed in him. not thinking like an angel.”

crowley “looks up, and talks to god, in the classical fashion.” wonder what they’ll say for how aziraphale prays…

crowley in the cinema. “he’s waiting for the end of the world. out of time. out of hope.” kill me

the fact that crowley saw aziraphale walking down the street and left dagon on read…..priceless

aziraphale looks hurt after crowley says he won’t even think about him

the music for the gavotte scene was recommended to be “i am a courtier grave and serious” from gilbert and sullivan’s the gondoliers i am LOSING IT

“aziraphale is heading down the street, looking harried and as if he is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. which he is.”

sandalphon says “you know how we treat traitors in wartime?” to aziraphale i HATE

there was meant to be blood on aziraphale’s lips after sandalphon punches him i am SO

“why would you do this? we’re the good guys.”

aziraphale (resolutely not swearing): you. you B…AD angels.

“seducing women to do your evil will!” “i think perhaps you’ve got the wrong shop.” is STILL the most iconic addition

crowley on the verge of tears in aziraphale’s burning bookshop fucking hurts me to my core

“right. i’m done. i’ve had it. i don’t care about any bloody angels or humans or anyone. i hate you all. somebody killed my best friend, and i don’t even care who did it. bastards, all of you.”   😭

when aziraphale is discorporated, his heavenly appearance is all his normal clothes but gleaming white

aziraphale: i have no intention of fighting in any war. “all angels on the floor turn and look at the angel who has said the unsayable.”

aziraphale can’t actually see crowley in the bar scene…he has no idea how wrecked his best friend is

aziraphale doesn’t take sugar with his tea. bastard

aziraphale crosses his fingers under the table when answering shadwell’s nipple question

aziraphale is wearing madame tracy’s pink motorbike helmet in the mirror of her scooter. what an ICON

they describe crowley’s suit in the burning bentley as “interestingly ripped”…boob window for crowley 2k19

aziraphale introduces crowley to madame tracy as “he’s…well, we’re sort of business associates.” (john mulaney vc) you know, like a liar

aziraphale was fully about to murder adam. i don’t think i can stress this enough.

aziraphale pokes himself to make sure he’s solid once he’s separated from madame tracy

aziraphale isn’t threatening crowley with the sword, “just making his point that he can do dangerous out-of-character things if he needs to.”

crowley: what if the almighty planned it this way all along? from the very beginning aziraphale: takes a drink from the bottle of wine

aziraphale looks like he’s going to cry when crowley reminds him that the bookshop burnt down 😭

aziraphale-as-crowley looks depressed 😭 he still thinks his bookshop is gone

the angels kidnapping crowley-as-aziraphale zip-tied his hands i’m MAD

aziraphale-as-crowley: my friend! they’re kidnapping my friend!

the hit hastur gives aziraphale-as-crowley would have killed a human…0/10 wahoos

“the van with [crowley-as-]aziraphale in it drives away, and [aziraphale-as-]crowley tries to crawl after it.”   HEY NEIL I JUST WANT TO TALK

crowley-as-aziraphale says “what fun. i love a barbecue.”

i am literally ENRAGED that sandalphon was like “hell yeah you can hit aziraphale” to the minor demon who brought the hellfire i WILL throw hands

uriel calls it a barbecue too CAN Y’ALL NOT

in the script uriel and sandalphon have their flaming swords drawn, so it’s not as insidious as expecting aziraphale to walk into the flame of his own volition. but i mean they didn’t include it in the show, so it is that insidious after all

aziraphale-as-crowley keeping his socks on for the bath has me in STITCHES

“he doesn’t actually have a newspaper and a cigar, but damn, he’s enjoying himself in his bath”   I’M LOSING IT

are we not going to talk about how fucking ice cold aziraphale is….the whole “so you’re probably thinking, ‘if he can do this, i wonder what else he can do’? and very, very soon, you’re all going to get the chance to find out.” BECAUSE THAT SHIT IS TERRIFYING

aziraphale-as-crowley: michael. duude.

crowley and aziraphale both get out of their own elevators and meet up to walk out together the POETIC CINEMA

PIGBOG AND THE IDIOTS WERE GOING TO BE INCLUDED

[rocksalive]

a better concept than pollution being the only nb character in the series: gender is one of the 2nd set of horsemen. ‘hey pigbog what do u hate’ ‘gender’

[captainclickycat]

Genuine question: could Moist von Lipwig qualify as Cool(tm)? I feel like there are arguments for and against but I’m not feeling articulate enough to lay them out myself.

Also I realise that Good Omens isn’t Discworld but I do think it would be interesting to use Pigbog’s definition of Really Cool People as something of a benchmark here.

“You know. The kind you see on telly with stupid haircuts, only on them it dunt look stupid ‘cos it’s them. They wear baggy suits, an’ you’re not allowed to say they’re a bunch of wankers.”

Obviously this is a somewhat contemporary definition of Really Cool People informed by the early 90’s period in which the book was written (I’m assuming, anyway. I was a ‘91 baby, what do I know.) But application-wise I feel like it still has merit.

I think the most galling thing about the Watch TV series is that it's so obviously just designed to look cool. Hence no Nobby or Colon, because they don't think you can make fat or ugly characters cool. Hence Sybil being played by a thin actress who's considerably younger than Sybil's meant to be, because they don't think fat middle-aged women are cool. Hence Cheery/Cheri not having a beard, because they think hairy women aren't cool. It feels utterly antithetical to what Terry's books were about.

This is interesting actually: did ya boi terry pratchett ever write any Traditionally Cool ™ characters for Discworld? I’m not talking about folks we know are actually cool, I’m talking about primetime-ready characters.

The only one I can think of is Victor Tugalbend, who was deliberately created to be Cool ™ specifically for the joke. Maybe Trevor Likely if you squint.
