Another Good Omens meta - Plants

The plants are a key character in Good Omens. Just as the Bentley. We've often wondered why Crowley is so attached to his plants. I think I may have an idea.

Let's start with what type of plants are they?

Here we see at least 3 types of plants.

The ones that Aziraphale carries I first confused them with something else, but @drconstellation pointed out (thanks) they are monstera and snake plant. Crowley carries three types - decorative fig, ficus (fig again) and scindapsus (devil's ivy).

Snake plant and monstera - their names speak for themselves.

This is the snake plant (for those who don't know it)

And the monstera.

Figs are a really interesting choice, tho. (the two tallest ones in Crowley's box). They bring all kinds of meaning and are also mentioned in the Bible.

This I find really interesting because of the scene with Crowley and Muriel in Heaven. He described angels as bees and Muriel described him as a hornet.

And this "if the fig is destroyed, the fig wasp won't survive". Is this somehow related to Crowley's obsession with these plants?

Unisexual flowers?

And here are other interesting things:

And the other plant is the scindapsus. (the smallest one on the left in Crowley's box) I didn't find that much information about it, but this is also interesting, because its other name is devil's ivy.

EDIT!!!

Thanks to @paperbunny I realized that what I thought is scindapsus may actually be dieffenbachia, which is a poisonous plant again type of a snake plant. And my mom actually almost lost her eye because of this plant. A piece of it landed in her eye and she couldn't see and she was operated. Her eye healed and she is okay now, so this plant is really dangerous.

This is it for now, but I'll make another post with more info on plants in s2, but not about Crowley's.

I don't know if there really is something, but who knows...

Note: I am not a plant person and some of you pointed out my mistakes and I updated the post to be correct. Thanks to @paperbunny @drconstellation and @speikobrarote.

Little reminder that we officially still not know why Elmo's fur turned lighter (and his hair from brown to ginger later), but Tad Stones liked the headcanon of my bestie @speikobrarote

She actually headcanons that he still got a bit fur, but that the majority fell out after his mutation. So he is still fuzzy but not as much as before.

[raeloganthesonic06fangirl]

He said he was like Quackerjack???? Like legit??? Like not as a joke or smthn???? Hasn’t Quackerjack like attempted to murder children because they pissed him off???? Like this man, Compared himself to a duck jester who has tried to murder people often????? LIKE THIS ADULT MAN?????

You'll have to ask @violetvenom or @speikobrarote for the sauce on that, but the whole story behind that's pretty twisted and nuts.

There's a reason as to why QuackerJack was written to have a desk job in a toxic environment in the comics.

Someone was apparently projecting

Tagging a few people here who might be interested to contact PIPER (see links above) about that matter and help us getting this line erased in the next edition:

Feel free to write them about censoring the word "Gay" as well

Idk if you know, but the German publisher of the Good Omens book added a line that Crowley had a thing with women in Ancient Rome. Like… he slept with them. It has been in the German translated book version for years. Even thought it was - obviously- never in the original English book version. It was added by the German translation team… for whatever reason.

I am running a Little „campaign“ to get that line erased.

Anything you want to say to the German publisher?

Why? I mean, why????? And yes, that's bad. Not inserting Soup Ads bad. But it's bad.

[speikobrarote]

If you invite Quackerjack for a sleepover make sure you either have 2 beds or some cables to tie him down...

(cold feet in the back are rude)

2 versions cause I couldnt decide if they would even bother to take off their main gear... (2020 I realised mistakes that shouldnt have happened)

Hey cool squad...

To those of you who entered my giveaway... I see you... and because a reasonable number of you entered, expect a tumblr message at some point... probably not today or tomorrow since it’s my time... but also I might feel professional enough to run my blog like the business I wish it could be and step out of the shadows to ask you all... what do you want me to draw for you?

To those of you who are reading this, please start thinking, even if it’s silly, even if it may be personal, don’t worry... I don’t judge, I want you guys to have fun with this. So, thank you all, and I hope to hear from you guys soon...

@speikobrarote replied to your text post The same thing with every game :O League of Legends, Ark: Survival Evolved, State of Decay... games where you always go for another round, another task, another match another this another that.. I havent slept for 50hours again cause gamesss ----- I knew it happened to people but I was never into gaming and never had experienced it. It's just... So addictive. And especially if you've been going through matches with the same team for a while and I feel guilty about dropping out. I keep losing hours of time in this game. X-X

[violetvenom]

This is some awesome Megavolt art!

Not gonna lie, I could stare at this panel for hours:

It’s so cute. Srsly. Look at it and tell me it isn’t.

Also it matches perfectly to the several situations Quackerjack made such a face.

They really share one braincell.

Keep reading

It's the 12th here already, so here..take your gift. 😌💜 It's sadly only a sketch but I hope you will like it anyway.

Also c-c-c-combo breaker. No jester duck this year but a rat instead.

Seems we aren't the only ones who got a rough time right now. Jacky was already so exhausted in your birthday picture for me...he sadly screwed up your cake by setting the kitchen on fire by accident (this time). But luckily he got an electrifying pal who supports him and will help recharging his batteries later on so they can cause some havoc together.

Friendly reminder that in 'Quack of Ages' Quackerjack was not only the court jester of King Herberth but he also was his advisor AND A FRIGGING KNIGHT.

I overlooked that detail for so long...damn...

And now I wonder how many time had passed between Quackerjack's arrival in the past and Darkwing's. It didn't seem it was much...so how or what did Quackerjack do to get two positions and a title in such a short time? 😳

I'm not like a professional story writer or anything, but like, wouldn't it have been cool for Security Breach if they had a scene where Gregory near slips off of something or whatever while trying to escape from one of the animatronics and Moon's child protection programming overrides the glitch just enough for him to grab and pull Gregory out of danger with a confused sort of air to him, wondering why he's where he's at for a moment and why this child is fighting to pull away from him, and there's enough time between lapse of control of the Afton Virus that Gregory gets a head start on running away with Freddy, but like, then this sets up for a possibility later down the line that when they set the Pizzaplex on fire, that there's consideration to actually try to pull the Daycare Attendant out of the building on the way out because they can still be saved

Overriding the glitch just enough to show a semblance of who Sun and Moon were before the breach, can you please imagine

Really dig some of these crisp renders in the Security Breach Files book, and a few bits of art I'm sure I haven't seen put on the wiki yet, but anyway, the visual presentation of the book definitely feels more like a brochure catalog that's peppered with game info.

So, I'm looking at this overhead shot of the Daycare layout while I wait for word on this game being ported to a system I own, and it's becoming very obvious that Sun and Moon have been isolated for quite a while

In addition to all those big thick cables running around the place that are attached to generators, they're also linked up to floodlights that are constantly directing bright beams of light across the vicinity
