noone in the history of the world has ever deserved to get fucked more than he did i'm going to cry
HE WOULD'VE.....
Hello Good Omens fandom! I had the pleasure to be commissioned by my good friend @janeway-lover to do a huge illustration of the archangel Uriel in their true angelic form. This piece took a total of 23+ hours in total (many many days of work). I think this is one of the biggest pieces Iāve done in 5 years!! I hope you all enjoy it.
[ID in ALT: An illustration of the archangel Uriel from Good Omens in their true form. Behind them on their right is a golden eagle and on the left is a brown, furry Bull. Behind them are six white wings. Around them are several floating eyes as well as a horizontal metal ring through a vertical metal ring both covered in eyes. The rings also read part of a prayer: āO holy Saint Uriel, intercede for us that our hearts may burn with the fire of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.ā. All eyes in this illustration are glowing. Uriel holds a scroll out in front of them, with one hand holding the base of the roll, with the other holding the paper out. From that hand it falls down through one of the rings and towards the viewer. The scroll is filled with text from the book of Revelations. The sun shines brightly behind them, lighting up their form. / END ID]

"what are you a cop" is bookaziraphale's entire mindset btw. "is it very angelic to hoard books and be mean to customers" what are you a cop? "should you really be married to your adversary" what are you a cop? "should your husband be parking his car there" ah you ARE a cop. explodes your ticket notebook with his mind. like in his mind if the lord herself doesn't come down to tell him off he's doing just fine. because he's doing it. and if she DOES come down (where is the flaming sword I gave to thee) well then. what is she a cop
no so true. in fact I think this was a key experience in his conviction that he is correct about everything ever. after all she did not ask him again
book Crowley: youāre an angel, you canāt do the wrong thing book Aziraphale: you are absolutely right. everything i do *is* the right thing book aziraphale really took ādo what thou wilt shall be the whole of the lawā and ran with it
[ID: The first add-on shows tags from pronouncingitwang reading "#it is soo fucking important that not only did he lie to god #he thought it was so important that he wrote it in as a correction to the bilton and scaggs bible he wanted that shit printed+distributed" and the last add-on shows tags from indieninja92 reading "#MY BOY #as i like to say 'aziraphale did nothibg wrong... but not through lack of trying' #the greatest angel ever to sincerely attempt to shoot an eleven year old in the face" /end ID]
And when he knows heāll HAVE to help the cops, heās desperate to leave so that he WONāT have to help the cops!
[ID: A snippet from the Good Omens book. It reads āThere was the sound of a siren outside, abruptly broken off as a bullet hit it. Aziraphale nudged Crowley.ā The next part is highlighted, and reads āāGet a move on,ā he said. āWe're going to be knee-deep in police at any moment and I will of course be morally obliged to assist them in their enquiries.āā /end ID]

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like theyāre gone. itās the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.
thatās not the whole flag, now is it
hey staff what the fuck
hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose
HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE
Hey @staff whatās this all about
Do you care to comment
with as much gentle encouragement as possible: fandom is a verb. if you want people to engage with you / your art, engage with theirs too. reblogging fanworks is a large part of that on tumblr. and above all itās fun
Peter Anderson Studios is so funny for getting this into the credits. for context, BEYOND SOHO was the concept art travel agency, advertising flights to NYC. where Jesus was supposed to land by plane to give his address to the UN. so presumably we would have seen at least Crowley going to this travel agency to book a sad miracle-less flight to NYC in the full story.
crashing a plane into the travel agency to represent the hackjob of a script is so fucking funny I'm sorry.
More GO Metaverse/AU Musings
Many people have written eloquently about how, since the book/radio drama/S1 all end happily with character arcs wrapped up, there is plenty of justification for taking them as one's personal canon. This is probably going to be my approach.
However, I do think there is justification in the structure of the show to consider each season as its own AU. I'm not saying you have to interpret it this way, just offering the possibility.
Season 1 begins with the OG wall meet-cute, which establishes A&C as a pair of slightly befuddled agents from opposing sides who have more in common with each other than head office. Of the three seasons, this one retains the most of the Cold War spy setting from the book, with them meeting in public places and expressing fear about getting into trouble with their head offices. Also, this is the only season that mentions the Arrangement, which is a concept that only makes sense if they both know that angels and demons are the same.
Season 2 introduces a new meet-cute that, to me, can be read as resetting the story into an AU about religious institutional trauma. The two angels are more like church friends, with one about to be ex-churched, and while the fear of their institutions persists, the conflicts between them throughout S2 seem more philosophical than S1's more practical and obvious emergency. In addition, among a number of moments that I find contradictory to S1, there is no hint of the Arrangement and generally A&C seem to lack the common knowledge and experience that I read them as having in S1.
Season 3 doesn't have breathing room for much of this kind of analysis, but the third meet-cute seems to launch us into a war AU with A&C as soldiers on opposite sides of an unbridgeable divide, who will never find more than a moment's peace together, which leads into their final decision. This is a huge reversal from S1, which showed characters successfully building relationships across their differences.
Chronologically, the only way I can make all three meet-cute scenes make sense in order is by assuming external manipulation. Their memories and/or their Book of Life pages must have been altered, or we must be watching them in different timelines or universes.
This is not the only issue I have when trying to consider the story chronologically. To me, the S1 flashbacks show a slowly developing relationship, allies to friends to lovers, over the centuries. The S2 minisodes disrupt that flow, with the Job flashback getting very intimate, then whipping back to a more distanced tone at the Crucifixion. And how do we get from Bastille Aziraphale, who is experiencing in real time what a hungry and oppressed populace will do, to the Aziraphale of Edinburgh 1827?
I do think S2 and S3 have more connective tissue to each other than to S1, so again, a S1-only canon makes a ton of sense. But I think, if it helps, that you can also apply an AU lens to each season.
Edited to add: I don't mean to claim that all these contradictions I perceive were intentionally plotted. There are some hints to that effect, but they're too haphazard for certainty. But I do think that, whether intentional or not, as a viewer, it is possible to interpret each season as a different flavor of A&C even while the current-day plot seems to be marching forward chronologically.
To be honest, what hurts me the most is seeing something like āIn every lifetime and in every universe". It just reminds me that they stripped away everything I found meaningful and beautiful about their love.
Yup, apparently Iām still not done being sad and angry about it.
[Iām not saying itās wrong to like the soulmate trope. Of course itās okay if you do. I just personally find it hollow.]

TW: Neil Gaiman
So hereās an unfortunate reminder of the past. Iāve cut a screen grab of it rather than reblogging, because fuck that guy he doesnāt get another reblog out of me. Iāve also cut out the original questioner because I donāt think itās fair to unnecessarily expose them even if the post is public.
I used to get so many notifications on people liking this reblog. Then when the allegations came out (which if I remember correctly was only days later) they thankfully trickled away. I got another one just now and it reminded me when I heard Aziraphale say pedometer in the finale it frankly felt like such a gut punch. Which is a shame considering it was during in what was, in my opinion, one of the best scenes in the finale.
Itās proof that what we got truly was all NGās work and not something that was re-written as so many had assumed. The fact that this moment was also something preserved out of everything that had been cut, a thing specifically mentioned by NG and probably one of the last snippets we got before he was cancelled and thrust from this platform, is yet again another telling sign of how much the two other writers probably upheld his story and vision.
It has been sitting uneasy on my chest for over a fortnight now. I have more to say but will do so in another post.

Summary: Aziraphale returns to the village where he was born and finds himself incapable of fighting off the beckoning call of the pitch black castle that haunted his youth.
Excerpt:
Crowley spoke again, adding to the orchestral swell. āThe music of the start of everything swirls within your mind. The music speaks of wonders witnessed, wonders wished, and wonders you dare not dream. I wonder what the colors of the universe would look like, reflected in your eyes. How the sight of it would add more layers to your magnum opus.ā
Aziraphaleās heart alternated hammering and fluttering and he was sure it was near to giving out altogether.

I miss my ineffable husbands and their Bentley š
friendly reminder that aziraphale made crowley smile in rome when he realized he was in a foul mood
that he blushed when he described crowley as a wily adversary (keeps me on my toes)
that he smiled when he realized the bentley was back without a scratch after having blown up
that he refused crowley a suicide pill
that he kept an eye on crowley for 26 years after 1941, then sought him out and gave him the holy water so that he didn't have to get it himself. but i can't have you risking your life. not even for something dangerous. if we must quote it then at least let's quote it right.
that he went to hell for crowley and made sure they wouldn't bother him anymore
that he only ever cared about crowley not being destroyed
that no way aziraphale didn't check on crowley in three years
friendly reminder that aziraphale would never give up crowley without a fight, not even if crowley asked

y'know what? the stained glass window designers had the right idea, we need more angels with kaleidoscope wings.
@venn-shyagram
I keep seeing posts about the finale from people who loved it being very critical and quite frankly, a bit rude about the people who didnāt.
I saw one particular post today and was going to type my reply (respectfully) directly to them however they tagged it with āif you donāt like my post then donāt engageā. So unlike that author, I will be respectful and just post this into the Tumblr ether.
These are common themes Iāve seen over the past two weeks:
āPeople who donāt like the finale are just selfish because they didnāt get the ending they wantedā - I would argue that Prime/writers etc have been leading our expectations in a certain direction for years just to pull the rug from under us at the last second. I donāt blame people for reacting this way and I donāt think itās selfish for wanting a happy ending for our characters. Itās not an unreasonable expectation for a tv show finale.
āIf you donāt like it, you just donāt understand media literacy/youāre stupidā - This is a comedy fantasy show about angels and demons attempting to thwart apocalypses. You donāt need a Phd in English Lit/philosophy/psychology/whatever to understand or enjoy this show. Disliking the finale is not an indicator of intelligence level or understanding. Itās a personal opinion, based off of many factors. The same goes with liking the finale.
āThis is TPās ending so you must accept/like/respect itā - respect yes, compulsory enjoyment - no. There should never be any hate/disrespect directed to anyone involved in the show. Ever. But insinuating that media should never be disliked or criticised because a certain person wrote it is just not realistic. No one is above critique. We are all humans with thoughts, feelings and opinions, these are involuntary responses. We are reacting to what we are seeing and itās ok to discuss these (respectfully of course). God themselves could float down from the clouds and write me a poem and Iām well within my rights to like it or not š¤·āāļø.
āThese people are just selfish, be grateful we got anything at allā - ahh yes, gratitude. Well, this is one I am struggling with. Whilst I really do appreciate what must have been a lot of negotiations and turmoil behind the scenes and a massive amount of effort from everyone involved to get the finale to us at allā¦. I kinda wish we didnāt get one. There was some fun moments, but the ending completely and utterly broke my heart. I would rather wonder what might have happened than knowing for sure THAT is what happened to them and everyone else in that world. So, Iām sorry, but I cannot be grateful for (in my opinion) a poorly written, plot-hole ridden finale with such a bleak, depressing ending. I just canāt.
Anyway, this is just my 2 pence on the rhetoric I keep seeing. I am so happy for you if you loved the finale. I really wish I did too.
The point of this post is just to ask can we please just have a bit more respect for each other? I really do not understand or agree with people who loved the finale at all but I will not call you selfish/stupid/ungrateful for doing so.
I hope both sides can be pals again some day ā¤ļø
