"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.
"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"
"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."
"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."
"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.
"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."
"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."
"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.
"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.
"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."
"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."
Because we have most of the story from Crowley's and Aziraphale's points of view, we all internalised that falling is a bad thing. Crowley seemed very sad when he said he didn't mean to fall, and Aziraphale seemed devastated when he thinks he's going to become a demon.
So I absolutely can't get over Gabriel reaction...
He's like "Oh noooo! I have to go to Hell? You mean all the way down to the basement of the same building? To live with the person that I love? Well that's just too bad, let me pack my things, see you soon, bye."
Gotta love some DGAF Archangel!
You ever hear that old chestnut about how most people neglect the part of the story of Icarus where he also had to avoid flying too low, lest the spray of the sea soak his feathers and cause him to fall and drown? You ever think about how different the world would be if Icarus died that way instead? If the idiom was to Fly To Close To The Sea? A warning against playing it far too safe, about not stretching your wings and soaring properly? You ever think about how Icarus died because he was happy?
scientists wont tell you this! (because it's not true)
experts don't want you to know this! (because it's made up)
doctors HATE this one trick! (because it's dangerous and unhealthy)
I can never be Aziraphale bc there's no way i would have resisted that
When I watched the second season, I was puzzled (and pleased, but verry puzzled) by the romance between them.
So I watched the first season again, and I confirm your analysis. I must have watched it wearing a blindfold and noise-cancelling headphones, that's the only explanation 😅
Those people who are angry about Aziracrow in s2 saying that there were no signs of them having feeling for eachother in the first series are fucking blind.
a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted
their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"
"Every writer"?
come on
Yep, I'm right there 🤣
Good Omens fandom right now trying to decipher all the hidden meanings in the mug.
I love us.
Demons are cat-coded
Crowley prefers to groom the “old fashioned” way much to the angel’s chagrin.
Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson is literature's best King.
'But he ain't the king!' I hear you cry. Even though everyone knows better. He's the King of Ahnk Morpork, by birthright and fact. It's hard to deny, given all the evidence.
But what makes Carrot the best King isn't that he sits on a throne or makes proclamations or wears a crown. He does not, in fact, DO any of that. This is remarkable, given the number of Kings you can find on the Disc that go all in on the usual trappings of the job.
No, what makes Carrot the best King is HOW he, for lack of a better term, rules his people.
He does not rule the city. The Patrician does that, and quite well. But Carrot does rule his people, and he does it with a touch so light, so soft, many of them barely realize he does it.
Part of this is his upbringing. Dwarfs, by and large, do not wring their hands and worry about what tomorrow will bring because, down in a mine, getting to tomorrow is certainly not a guarantee. There is only what is in front of you, and what you can do about it.
Carrot brings this attitude with him everywhere. He shares it with others. He shows his people, by simple dint of a fresh perspective, that what they can do about what is in front of them is not limited by the concerns of tomorrow or the grudges of history.
Yes, lad, you could absolutely stab this other lad because he broke your mate's nose that one time when you were all scrapping over who got what rubbish from the pile. OR, you could put the knife down and join in this game involving the ball I happen to have right here because what lad doesn't like a bit of sport.
Yes, sir, you could try running all of those foreigners you dislike so much out of the city with threats of violence. OR, you could come along with me to this cozy little curry shop that, would you look at that, has been here for ages because the owners are every bit the Morporkian you are, they just handle direct sunlight a tad better by tanning.
Yes, my lord, maybe you should call the guard and have this impudent troll removed from your property. OR, begging your pardon sir of course, but since I AM a guard and that particular troll is Seargeant Detritus, perhaps you should assist us with our inquires regarding this seemingly innocuous murder Commander Vimes seems quite invested in.
And the magical part is that his people DO what he tells them. Suggests to them. They can't help it. And Carrot, despite appearances, knows it.
He KNOWS the power he has over people. And THIS is how he chooses to use it: domestic disputes, police work, and helping out where he can. He doesn't want a throne or a crown. He just wants to help. He wants his people to BE better, not because he says so, but because he knows they CAN be, and they just need to recognize that for themselves.
Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson is literature's best King, because the best a King can be is a servant to, a champion of, and a cheerleader for his people. And Carrot would rather die before he failed at being all of those things, simultaneously, and all the time.
About Good Omens
when Metatron gave Aziraphale the coffee, Aziraphale drank it after little prompting, when Aziraphale tried to convince Gabriel sushi was good Gabriel said he didn't 'taint is ethereal body with gross earthly matter', angels don't eat or drink food. Crowley tempted Aziraphale into eating and drinking, so when metatron offers aziraphale a coffee and he takes it I'm thinking that could've been his way of seeing how "far gone" Aziraphale was from the heaven lifestyle, how sinful, or how corrupted earth and Crowley made him. The coffee wasn't mind control the coffee was a test and Aziraphale failed it.

Q: What made you want to start work, like become an ally to the community? What prompted you to say, do you know what, this injustice has gone on long enough.
David: When I was a teenager, there was this thing that Mrs. Thatcher's government introduced called Section 28, which was about stopping the "promotion" of homosexuality in schools, which was a weird umbrella term, which was basically saying it was illegal to talk about being gay in school or to suggest that that might be a normal way of behaving. We look back on that now as a medieval, absurd thing to try and say. And I think the way the trans community is being demonised and othered is exactly the same.

I just realised that, if we accept the fairly common idea that the Bentley is an extension of Crowley, that means that Aziraphale had already tried to change him once during season 2, when he made the car yellow, and Crowley already had the opportunity to tell him that he didn't want to be changed... 😭
Oh! And what was Crowley doing while Aziraphale was pimping his car? He was tiding the bookshop - the extension of Aziraphale - and putting the books Jim had moved back to their original places. Because he also didn't want Heaven to change his angel...
I'm gonna go lie down...
P.S : Don't get me wrong, I don't think Aziraphale wants Crowley to be someone else. I think he just wishes that Crowley were happier and he expresses it in a clumsy way.
P.S2 : This is a symbolic reflection, I'm not making a statement about their relationship here. They both care for each other and change each other because they share things with each other. Crowley is obviously not doing a good job at tidying (but point for trying though). All I'm trying to say is that we had all the elements in this scene to know how Crowley would react at the idea of being changed back into an angel and at the idea of Aziraphale going back to Heaven.
If Aziraphale's bookshop represents Eden (his and Crowley's paradise), then Metatron is the serpent, Aziraphale is Eve, the coffee is the apple, and ACCEPTING THE OFFER WAS THE FALL
Did you guys notice that Crowley and Aziraphale are on the wrong sides in the end credits of season 2?
Crowley is always on the left of Aziraphale in every single frames - except for the scene when they had switched bodies - so we know it's important.
But here, their frames are on the wrong sides of the screen. What does that mean? 😱
I'm curious to hear your interpretations!
(Erratum: They're in the wrong positions during the kiss scene and then stay on the wrong side of the frame until the end! 🤯)
Very impressed by the cross sign Aziraphale is doing during the Job minisode... He is, what, 6 centuries before Jesus' birth? What a visionary! xD
I just want you to know that the American Bar Association has come out against Trump's blatant violation of the law and is calling for all lawyers to do the same.
Good Omens behind the scenes video of Crowley (David Tennant) going through the phone line
never seen before
from stuntman Mick 💖 (manablazemick on Instagram)
Just rerewatched the burning bookshop scene. Am I crazy or is the phonograph in the bookshop playing the same song that the Bentley was playing at the same time? 😱
What does that mean? I feel like it means something important 😅
Imagine the amount of Good Omens relationship drama that could have been avoided with Aziraphale conducting one simple Google search and finding undeniable proof that Crowley is interested in him.
Crowley rubs his chin while watching Aziraphale, walks in a suspiciously undulating way, circles around his angel protectively, pushes and nudges him.
The biting part though? Remains to be seen.
We need to put Trump's name on this.
