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.

@speikobrarote(sp) Nah, the temps under significant load are obnoxious; at 144hz/Ultra settings on Elite and one monitor, the blower card screams along at 70C with a custom fan curve, since I can't handle watching its onboard curve allow it to loiter at 90. I'm sure the cpu temps under benchmark would be fine now, but I just get so annoyed by the noise coming out at high rpm from the blower card I wouldn't find it rewarding to push it. I did set the cpu fan up to 400rpm from 140, and now load temp's 34C; it remains to be seen how everything will handle my headset, but I assume the blower card will start yelling again like normal. Can't do much about it, it performs the same with the side on and off now that I turned my case around so it's not exhausting directly into the corner.
