Too old for a teenage crush? Apparently not!!

Since you motherfuckers are as thirsty as me, here’s every single frame of Aziraphale feeling indulgent relief in the beginning of the time-bubble at the end of the world. I sliced it TO THE INDIVIDUAL FRAME on either side.

I'm making an animation with Azicrow😏

"I'm a demon, I lied."

I'm in love with impressionism and I want to include it in my work. In order to do so, I need to study the style first, which led to this personal project of painting Aziraphale and Crowley in some of the scenes which Monet painted in his work.

That was the initial thought, then while trying to post on IG, I came up with short writings to give my audience a context. Now, I don't know if I could continue writing silly short conversations between the husbands to accompany the paintings in the future, but oh well let's just do it while I can.

Sorry for the yap. I have only done 3 paintings so far...

lots of spare planets up there

Although the final note on it is still ambiguous between that viewpoint and Adam’s more straightforward ‘Yeah, I don’t care it was written, I am defying the plan, fuck you.”

And then again when Crowley has his big revelation at the end of the book, in that context, the Universe being God’s ‘giant game of Solitaire’ was maybe not an inherently positive thing, but it was not inherently negative either.

God wanted Adam and Eve to eat the Fruit of Knowledge, for Humanity to have their own sense of right and wrong, to have humans disobey Their commands, to have Free Will… but is it all kinda nullified by the fact that it was just God’s plan all along? The whole Chess-vs-Solitaire thing demonstrates that God isn’t really on Heaven’s side, and that seems like a good thing considering Heaven is full of assholes, but is that the same thing as God being on the side of Humanity? The ‘real Ineffable Plan’ Crowley speculates about here is the concept of a Humanist Revolution against Heaven and Hell, but will it actually be an empowering moment for Human agency if it was planned by God all along? If all the heroic actions taken by our cast to try and save the world, Adam defying his destiny and all that, if they were essentially just part of God’s Rube-Goldberg machine to see if They built the world properly enough to save it from destruction, does it make them lesser and not as ‘Free’ on some level?

There’s no real definitive answer for these questions either way. Part of the point is that these are ideas are truly hard to grasp and are actually kinda Ineffable. (The Joke, especially in the original book, is Aziraphale tossing out the word ‘ineffable’ when he just doesn’t to argue with Heaven’s doctrine, then culminating his character arc by turning this around on Heaven at the airfield… and then the final punchline is that Crowley ended up stumbling on a revelation that is legitimately Ineffable). And it’s also paralleled with the Paradox at the end of Newt and Anathema’s storyline. Anathema decides to stop living her life following Agnes’ prophecies… but it’s pretty clear that Agnes predicted that as well, and is happy with it.

Does this weaken the Free Will of Anathema’s decision? Well, that depends how you look at it, but it’s hard to deny that this scene is framed in a very positive way.

All of this plus, just, generally the ending of the Book having all the characters living Happily Ever After, and insinuating that Humanity’s future is going to be defined by Adam’s ordinary mischievous hopefulness ‘for ever’, just sort of incentivizes the readers to see the more optimistic sides of these Ineffable Paradoxes. To believe that even with this Biblically Literalist Universe’s many downsides and self-contradictory Ineffability, there is room for Free Will and there is room for human agency and there is room for hope that Humanity will make things better eventually…

But it’s just when GO3 turns around and goes ‘no, God is an unambiguously sinister figure, She does want the world to end eventually, Her plans do unambiguously negate everyone else’s agency, believing you have Free Will under God’s existence is like believing you can win a rigged game, the world could only be ‘free’ and ‘real’ if it was Godless, and this is so important that it not only requires our two main leads to sacrifice themselves and their relationship after 6000 years of longing and doubts, it also justifies not bringing back the old world and the old supporting cast back, because the ‘Real Free Will’ of the new humanity is so important that the lives of the humans that came before will just pale in comparison apparently…’

We never found out when or why Aziraphale changed his ring....

Hello! This is my little cottage built as a retirement present for my beloved Ineffable Husbands. It is a customized version of a kit bought online, with lots of little nods and Easter eggs to ensure both occupants are duly represented. Technically, this is designed for Crowley & Aziraphale, but I absolutely can see this working for two retired Professors as well. I welcome all adorable husbands/partners/spouses here!

The living room is a place of compromise in design, comfort, and style. They were sure to bring the bookshop with them, of course, just in miniature.

Who says you can't have a picnic in your own front garden? A little wine, some cheese and crackers, maybe some fruit, and a nice chocolate cake for dessert.

A kitchen should be as warm and inviting as a good meal. Don't forget to restock the bird feeders so the feathered visitors get nice snack, too!

It's important for couples to have their individual spaces. To pull a completely random example, cozy reading library for one and a stargazing garden for another. Harry the Rabbit likes burrowing among the stacks of books, but careful not to tip over that mysterious snowglobe!

Bedrooms are cozy little sanctuaries, perfect for spending long, lazy mornings together, or even longer, less lazy days together.

Over time, the cottage spent enough time with its occupants that it learned a song or two. It was bound to happen...

As a random member of the Good Omens fandom community, I’d just like to toss my hat into the ring and attempt to clear up some misunderstandings. I also want to encourage some honest, good-faith dialogue in a severely fractured fandom.

This is not an attempt to convince anyone to interpret the finale a specific way. This is a practical conversation about how we discuss the finale in fan spaces.

For the purposes of this discussion, I will be focusing on tags as they are used on social media platforms like Tumblr, Twitter, Bluesky, and Instagram. AO3 tagging is considerable more complex and warrants a whole convo in its own right, so I won't focus on that here.

THIS POST INCLUDES DISCUSSION OF SUICIDE.

We need to talk more about the fact that Crowley does stress cleaning… 

And also the fact that he READS. He lied to Aziraphale that he doesn’t…
