Hyperfixated & Feral

I created a 3D model and floor plan of Aziraphale’s bookshop in Good Omens!

I really wanted one for reference and it seemed like many others did too, so I put together my best approximation of where everything is. Beneath the color version, you’ll see I’ve included two simplified, labeled versions of the plan. The verbal labels are so you know what the object is. The numerical labels are there to make it easy to find more information about the object. I’ve put a numbered index below the cut that features the relevant reference images I used for each object and some more information about why I put it where I did/why it’s relevant/etc. I want to be very clear that I did not add anything to this from my own imagination; every single item and feature represents something I actually saw in the shop.

If you have any questions or want more information about this, PLEASE do not hesitate to ask! I put so much time into figuring it out and I would be more than happy to be a resource for anyone who needs it. Also, if you notice any errors, let me know and I’ll update the post. I hope this is helpful!

Update: Here’s a link to an interactive view of the shop! It takes a moment to load. You can click the “3D” tab in the top right to view it in first person and walk around inside. Double click a spot on the floor to move there and pan around by clicking and dragging. The oval symbol next to the person walking gives you a birds-eye view.

Update 2: Here’s a higher quality rendering of the first person perspective! Update 3: I made an alternate first person render here complete with a ceiling, light fixtures, and ambient lighting from outside. This one is optimized for making it seem more like you’re actually there, whereas the previous one is for maximum visibility. This render also has some minor accuracy improvements, which are detailed under the cut in the relevant sections. (The first interactive link with the birds-eye view updates automatically.) Update 4: In case you’re interested in Aziraphale’s books specifically, I’ve made a catalogue of those here.

Heh.. Is that your circus archetype.. That's cringe....

YOU'RE CRINGE!!!

I had personally been sure it was from a stint in the Navy (voluntary or involuntary) because historically the Navy was infamous for flogging to the point that it was a symbol recognized by other countries as being associated with the British Navy. (Previous post about this with reference links. I highly recommend reading the links about flogging and maritime punishment). I suppose that could still hold true, but now I’m thinking about the themes of Ed and Izzy both surviving and growing up in this toxic pirate environment, and I wonder if anyone Izzy served under was ex-navy.

I do like that this new information about Izzy not taking the whip to crew members is reinforced by the historical precedent that pirates hated flogging and it was rarely carried out by them, often because of their experiences pressed into the navy or serving on strict merchant and privateer ships. It’s one of the pieces of evidence used against the real Stede Bonnet when he insisted he wasn’t responsible for his crew’s piracy after being arrested—during his second pirating stint, he ordered a flogging which would only have been carried out if he held a lot of authority and respect with his crew (that reference is in my previous link too).
