lyrics:

Aziraphale writes me a letter everyday

I’m keeping his bed warm while God is away

He’s from the british side of Heaven

They're trying to keep Hell in line

Well they can keep all of Hell

Aziraphale, he’s mine

Heaven doesn’t discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes

And we keep loving anyway

We laugh and we cry and we break

And we make our mistakes

But if there’s a reason I’m still so swag

Especially when I’m in drag

I’m willing to wait for it

I’m willing to wait for it.

All the angels were fire and brimstone preachers

But there are things that the 

Homilies and hymns won’t teach ya

God was a genius 

Satan demanded respect

When I fell I got no instructions

Just a lover to protect

Hell doesn’t discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes

And we keep living anyways

We rise and we fall and we break 

And we make our mistakes

And if there’s a reason I can still smile 

When nobody has loved me or mine

Then I’m willing to wait for it

I’m willing to wait for it.

Wait for it

I am the one thing in life I can control

I am a sinner and the sin was original

I did not fall, I sauntered vague

I’m not standing still 

I am loving in wait

The humans face an endless uphill climb

They have something to prove, they have nothing to lose

A human’s pace is relentless they waste no time

What’s it like in their shoes?

A human doesn’t hesitate

They exhibit no restraint

They take and they take and they take

They keep winning anyway

They rise and they fall and they break

And they make their mistakes

If there’s a reason they seem to thrive

Even when they question and lie

I’m willing to wait for it

I’m willing to wait for it.

*clears throat* (I typed throats by accident, let the record show that I have only one throat) (*little red riding hood wolf voice* all the better to deepthroat you with, my dear Crowley)

Good Omens fandom and maggots and those who are both, we have converted many to our cult fandom of this wonderful show. I should probably state here that I am on the shady sideblog of @weirdly-specific-but-ok, my main blog. Uh. Yes. Hi.

As Mascot of the fandom, I would like to congratulate you all on your efforts towards this worthy cause, and cheers to everyone who finds a post with a new good omens fan/someone who hasn't watched the show and instantly tags me so I can destroy the OP's sanity. Wahoo!

Now, one fan of this show, however, is in a certain river of Egypt. Who is this fan in denial? Well, many of you maggots know and love @random-doctor-on-the-internet, Ash, for those who've seen them on the server.

Now Ash here has made several beautiful fanarts of Crowley, quotes Good Omens more than I do, wears three lovely Good Omens pins, has a corner of their wall devoted to Good Omens, has engaged in many discussions of Good Omens, is a fan of Neil's work, and married the Good Omens Mascot (yours truly) ten times.

AND YET: THEY INSIST THEY ARE NOT A GOOD OMENS FAN.

They said they would admit to being a fan if I made a public apology for calling them Aziraphale-coded, when they believe they are more Beelzebub coded or Anathema coded.

Let the record state that I am doing no such thing. What I am pointing out is the fact that they agreed, essentially, that they are a good omens fan, the only thing keeping them from admitting it is whether or not I make the apology.

I'm simply presenting the facts to you, the People, about Ash's affair with Good Omens. Now. Is Ash a Good Omens fan?

@arkytiorlecter @howmanyholesinswisscheese @queermarzipan what do we think?

Little details because I thought about this a lot

every Cecil Doll looks different

the Cecil and Carlos dolls can hold hands with the use of magnets

the ‘spot the difference’ on the bag is a picture of Kevin and a picture of Cecil. there are 13 differences in total.

the mini Khoshek plushes are Khoshek’s kittens. it has a little hole in one spine to hang from the ceiling.

the black Erika is rarer to get than the white Erika

the invisible pie comes with a little plate and a little fork, both with the moon-lite all-nite diner logo on them.

the moon part on the wtnv logo plush glows in the dark

Hyper specific and genuine question: Are there any good subversions of Peter Pan?

If you're going to tell a story a billion times you might as well add a new twist. But most subversions do the same twist: Peter is a villain and Hook is a hero. It's not even subverting expectations anymore, it is the expectation.

The only example I can think of is Hook which while not perfect does have a unique twist: What if Peter Pan grew up and lost his wonder and imagination?

Besides that I can't think of any good Peter Pan stories that aren't faithful retellings or a hero villain role swap.

My Stars

You, Maggots, are my stars,

You are the light guiding me through the dark nights

The constellations I study to distract myself from where I am

I love you more than I can ever express

You are the sand that keeps the ocean afloat,

Or the roots of a tree in a storm,

The gravity holding my universe together,

Every star, one of your homes

I love you more than the universe's lust for destruction

I thought of where I wanted to be,

And I thought of you

In our homes

In our stars

i just got this random burst of hope this morning like woah... i still have so much life to live and destiny is full of surprises?!!

[alpinecowboyy]

Like a Gift

Grinning from ear to ear. You ask me what I'm thinking about. "Nothing, really." I'm a liar. I'd love nothing more than to sink my teeth into your skin-- That, or to slice mine open once more. Faint pink ribbons on my thighs call my name day by day. I cant get enough of the unfortunate eroticism of it all. My self inflicted violence was worrying; You ask me what I'm thinking about. Nothing. Nothing at all.

@weirdly-specific-but-ok I just LOVE it when you reblog some innocent post from outside the mascot chaos - a compilation of pretty Aziraphale expressions perhaps - and suddenly the comments and reblogs are overrun with our specific brand of unhinged:

“blood viscosity threat”

“HEY MAGGOTS”

Various accusations of Sadism and cruelty

“I’m not the one that kidnapped you but goddamn am I enjoying it.”

*eats both popcorn and your hand*

“emotional support fruit”

With the original poster getting all these little snippets as notifications.

WTAF MUST THEY THINK?!😱😱😱

for whom good omens is being written

Hey maggots and the rest of the fandom, it's the Good Omens Mascot here. Today I read a post about this tweet:

The accompanying video genuinely made me cry. And I've been thinking about this for a long while, as far back as February, when I saw a lot of conflicting opinions on what people wanted from the third season. It really is true that no matter what you do, some people will be dissatisfied. But what matters is that Neil is writing this for Terry.

And I was reminded of some paragraphs from the Good Omens TV Companion, which I'd read in Amazon's sample excerpt of the book. I know this is a long post, but I really truly do think you all need to read these, I've done my best to select only the most important parts. Here you go:

'His Alzheimer's started progressing harder and faster than either of us had expected,' says Neil, referring to a period in which Terry recognized that despite everything he could no longer write. 'We had been friends for over thirty years, and during that time he had never asked me for anything. Then, out of the blue, I received an email from him with a special request. It read: “Listen, I know how busy you are. I know you don't have time to do this, but I want you to write the script for Good Omens. You are the only human being on this planet who has the passion, love and understanding for the old girl that I do. You have to do this for me so that I can see it." And I thought, “OK, if you put it like that then I'll do it."

'I had adapted my own work in the past, writing scripts for Death: The High Cost of Living and Sandman, but not a lot else was seen. I'd also written two episodes of Doctor Who, and so I felt like I knew what I was doing. Usually, having written something once I'd rather start something new, but having a very sick co-author saying I had to do this?' Neil spreads his hands as if the answer is clear to see. 'I had to step up to the plate.' A pause, then: 'All this took place in autumn 2014, around the time that the BBC radio adaptation of Good Omens was happening,' he continues, referring to the production scripted and co-directed by Dirk Maggs and starring Peter Serafinowicz and Mark Heap. ‘Terry had talked me into writing the TV adaptation, and I thought OK, I have a few years. Only I didn't have a few years,' he says. 'Terry was unconscious by December and dead by March.'

He pauses again. 'His passing took all of us by surprise,' Neil remembers. 'About a week later, I started writing, and it was very sad. The moments Terry felt closest to me were the moments I would get stuck during the writing process. In the old days, when we wrote the novel, I would send him what I'd done or phone him up. And he would say, "Aahh, the problem, Grasshopper, is in the way you phrase the question," and I would reply, "Just tell me what to do!" which somehow always started a conversation. 'In writing the script, there were times I'd really want to talk to Terry, and also places where I'd figure something out and do something really clever, and I would want to share it with him. So, instead, I would text Terry's former personal assistant, Rob Wilkins, now his representative on Earth. It was the nearest thing I had.'

(...) As Neil himself recognizes, this is an adaptation built upon the confidence that comes from three decades of writing for page and screen. But for all the wisdom of experience, he found that above all one factor guided him throughout the process. 'Terry isn't here, which leaves me as the guardian of the soul of the story,' he explains. 'It's funny because sometimes I found myself defending Terry's bits harder or more passionately than I would defend my own bits. Take Agnes Nutter,' he says, referring to what has become a key scene in the adaptation in which the seventeenth-century author of the book of prophecies foretelling the coming of the Antichrist is burned at the stake. ‘It was a huge, complicated and incredibly expensive shoot, with bonfires built and primed to explode as well as huge crowds in costume. It had to feel just like an English village in the 1640s, and of course everyone asked if there was a cheap way of doing it. 'One suggestion was that we could tell the story using old-fashioned woodcuts and have the narrator take us through what happened, but I just thought, “No”. Because I had brought aspects of the story like Crowley and the baby swap along to the mix, and Terry created Agnes Nutter. So, if I had cut out Agnes then I wouldn't be doing right by the person who gave me this job. Terry would've rolled over in his grave.'

And, finally, this paragraph:

"Once again, Neil cites the absence of his co-writer as his drive to ensure that Good Omens translated to the screen and remained true to the original vision. 'Terry's last request to me was to make this something he would be proud of. And so that has been my job.'"

I think that's so heartwrenchingly beautiful, and so I wanted you all to read this, too, just in case you (like me) don't have the Good Omens TV Companion. It adds another layer of depth and emotion to this already complex and amazing story that we all know and love.

Share this post, if you can, please, so that more people can read these excerpts :")

Tagging @neil-gaiman, @fuckyeahgoodomens and @orpiknight, even if you've definitely read these before :)

[pyromaniacbibliophile]

[lxvenderjewel]

@weirdly-specific-but-ok my jaw DROPPED are you KIDDING me

IM IN TEARS

[withascaleandafeather]

We're watching "Staged" in @weirdly-specific-but-ok 's discord server today.

I would love to see my mutuals there!

[voids-ideas]

Coraline but i've never watched or read it

I've been wanting to see this movie since the obsession with good omens started, but I haven't and now I decided: why not first do this Asmi style?

Any complaints about my lack of knowledge, can be directed to @weirdly-specific-but-ok for showing me this as a valid action

@neil-gaiman it's responsable of this

It is a children's film

For some reason everyone was scared when they saw it as children

The main character (who I assume is Coraline) has... blue hair?

Are there... dead characters?

Two worlds?

THERE'S A DOOR, I THINK

No way, Jay. Of course there's a fucking door, everything has doors

You can go from one world to the other through the door? Idk, you tell me. I say that's what doors are for, it should be like that. Doors are for going from one place to another, can you go from one world to another through the door?

Mom is not good

There are two moms

This, unfortunately, does not mean that it is a sapphic relationship, both have husbands, and are from different worlds

One is dead?

The one that's dead is the good one? (Oh gods, this sounds disturbing)

There's a scene where they're having dinner, it's the only scene I've seen, I think it's relevant, I don't know why

There are characters with buttons on their eyes

...

AT ONE POINT THEY TRY TO PUT BUTTONS ON CORALINE'S EYES!? TELL ME I'M WRONG, PLEASE. THAT SOUNDS DISTURBING

There's a book

I discovered there was a book when I googled how to spell the name of the movie. Three minutes ago

I don't know why I was surprised there was a book, it's Neil Gaiman, of course there's a book

Is there a dog? No, possibly not. Possibly this is me wanting there to be a dog. Tell me there's a dog, I want a dog. Or a cat, but for some reason the idea of a dog is more correct in my mind

There is a problem with the food, what is it? No idea. But there is something wrong with the food

I'll leave it at that because I've been feeling like I've been making it up since about number 12 or so
