Crowley: Where are my fucking keys?  Aziraphale: Dear, Muriel is around, can you say it a little nicer?  Crowley: May I ascertain the whereabouts of my FUCKING KEYS?!

[alfiejames]

things i headcanon Crowley invented:

only one sock disappearing in the washer/dryer. you know the one

youtube ads

gum on shoes

that one wobbly wheel on every shopping cart

you know when you're in traffic and one lane is going faster than the one you're in, so you switch to that one, but now this one's going slower than the other? that. it's one he often regrets.

back when wired earbuds were a thing - only one of them going bad

Nessie - an accident. he went swimming in his snake form once and someone took a blurry picture

unsynced audio or subtitles on media

pineapple on pizza - he did it to piss of Aziraphale

instagram poetry

pens/markers than run out of ink by the 3rd day (i'm looking at you Sharpies)

airplane food

the very common phenomenon when you forget your old password, go to reset it, and then get told your "new password can't be the same as your old password"

long red light/short green light

shower knobs that can't ever get the right temperature, it's either 3rd degree burns or hypothermia

crocs

feel free to add your ownnn

Hiya Neil! You seem to be the only author who gives actually good advice so do you mind if I ask for some? I’ve had severe writers block for almost a year now and I still don’t know what happens in chapter two and it’s seriously doing my head in. I’m writing a gothic mystery but I still don’t even know who my antagonist is! Not to be dramatic but my brain is collapsing I’ll take any advice you’ve got

Write an outline. Write down everything you know that happens in your book (it doesn't have to be complicated. Jack is turned into a ferret. The bank robbery is a disaster. The moon explodes. )

Then reread what you have written so far pretending you've never read it before. Add anything that occurs to you to your outline. Jack expects to be transformed into a ferret but instead becomes a wereferret, only transforming by moonlight.

Then push forward. If there's a bit you are stuck on then skip it for now and come back to it on your next draft.

Remember that you are telling yourself the story on your first draft. Later you can make it look like you knew what you were doing all along.

the ineffable husbands as that meme

[alfiejames]

Anybody else ever lie awake and think about how they placed plant photographs in the kitchen behind David Tennant, and removed the background behind Michael Sheen for the last shot of Staged so that it would look exactly like the last shot of Good Omens? Just me? Okay.

Good Omens Season 2, Episode 6 (2023)

Staged Season 3, Episode 6 (2022)

Thanks for rewatching it with me @ghstptats @embracing-the-ineffable @thebluestgreen! Xx

Just posted chapter 4 of After Everything. I’ve had a major writers block the last few weeks and hadn’t want to update but I think I’m back at it now. Hope you’ll give it a read and let me know what you think of it. 🪽🕶️📜🪴

So I’m watching Notting Hill and these scene came on I had Good Omens thought. Aziraphale as Anna Scott and Crowley as William Thacher. This thought made this scene even more funny. Crowley saying whoopsie dasies

Crowley pretending to die for plot reasons and out of stubborn spite but then aziraphale starts holding him and cradling him and sobbing like in a pieta bible painting and he’s trembling and stroking his hair and crowley starts feeling realllly kinda guilty but can’t quite figure out a non awkward time to say uhhh just joking lol

[alfiejames]

This is quality reading

Is it wrong that my friend just had a spat with her boyfriend because he pronounces your last name wrong because it "just doesn't sound correct the other way"? Please help me, she's jumping around and screaming at pillows.

It sounds enormously entertaining, jumping around and screaming at pillows. And it’s probably a good thing to argue about, the pronunciation of my name, something that really doesn’t matter in the slightest. So it doesn’t sound wrong. And if it is the source of deep and unfixable division between them, I think we can assume that they probably weren’t actually arguing over how to pronounce my name.

My one, true, enduring always-crush.

Even edging out Carolyn Jones as Morticia Addams, by a whisker.

MIRACLE BLOCKER

[alfiejames]

Crowley would do something sweet for Aziraphale to the point Aziraphale just smothers him with love and gratitude

Crowley would have to try so hard not to smile and keep his cool demeanor

Aziraphale would see right through it

[alfiejames]

Hi Neil, I was reading the script book and I was wondering why the scene of the opening of the bookshop was deleted?

Wasn't that an important scene? (also, seeing Crowley whisper "chocolate" with a box of chocolate would have been adorable during the discussion between the 3 angels)

still about this passage, boxes of chocolates did not yet exist in 1800 so basically Crowley invented the concept just for Aziraphale? ah I love them so much

It was deleted because we didn't have the money in the budget to shoot it.

[alfiejames]

Unrelated to everything else about this episode, Crowley just throwing entire stacks of books all around Aziraphale's shop for no particular reason will never not be hilarious.

[alfiejames]

The fact that Hell’s ambassador on Earth thanks cars as he crosses the street cracks me up

Favourite underrated moment in Good Omens is in s1 when Crowley and Aziraphale are crossing the street and Crowley is the one who signals a thank you to the car that stopped for them, while Aziraphale is completely oblivious and keeps walking forward. I can’t think of a scene that more perfectly and succinctly represents Anthony “a little bit good” Crowley and Azira “just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing” Fell than that one.

[alfiejames]

The evolution of Crowley not wanting the apocalypse because the stars are cool to not wanting the apocalypse because he thinks that humanity has value.
