Fuck Yeah Good Omens

I never asked to be a demon. I was just minding my own business one day and then "Oh, looky here, it’s Lucifer and the guys!”. Okay, the food hadn’t been that good lately. I didn’t have anything on for rest of that afternoon. Next thing, I’m doing a million-light-year freestyle dive into a pool of boiling sulphur.

“They make nests you know, gorillas,” said the angel, pouring another drink and managing to hit the glass on the third go.

“Nah.”

“God’s truth. Saw a film. Nests.”

“That’s birds,” said Crowley.

“Nests,” insisted Aziraphale.

I have 2 questions.

First, whY DID NO ONE TELL me GoOD OmeNS IS a THING?

And the first fanart of the year iiiiiiiiiiiiis… Ziraph in a flower crown with his snek lover :3 I used myself as a reference for him, so he looks a little like me.

more good omens:)

Your headcanon is your headcanon. The characters in your mind are what they are, and nobody is trying to take them away from you. Think of the Good Omens TV series as a stage play: for six full hours, actors are going to be portraying the roles of Crowley and Aziraphale, Shadwell and Madame Tracy, Newt and Anathema, Adam, Pepper, Wensleydale and Brian and the rest. Will they look like the people in your head? The ones you’ve been drawing and writing about and imagining for (in some cases) almost 30 years?

Probably not. Which is fine.

The people in your head and your drawings are still there, and still real and still true. I’ve seen drawings of hundreds of different Aziraphales over the years, all with different faces and body-shapes, different hair and skin, and would never have thought to tell anyone who drew or loved them that that wasn’t what Aziraphale looked like. (And a couple of years after we wrote it, I was amused to realise that the Aziraphale in my head looked nothing like the  Aziraphale in Terry’s head.) I’ve loved every instance of Good Omens Cosplay I’ve seen, and in no case did I ever think anyone was doing it wrong: they were all Aziraphales and Crowleys, and it was always a delight.

Good Omens has been unillustrated for 27 years, which means that each of you gets to make up your own look for the characters, your own backstories, your own ideas about how they will behave.

The TV version is being made with love and with faithfulness to the story. It’s got material and characters in it that Terry and I had discussed over the years, (some of it from what we would have done it there had been a sequel). Writing it has taken up the greater part of my last three years. You might like it – I really hope you will – but you don’t have to. You can start watching it, decide that you prefer the thing in your head, and stop watching it. (I never saw the last Lord of the Rings movie, because I liked the thing in my head too much.)

Remember we are making this with love.
