Pt I good omens but i've never watched it

i've never seen good omens but it's all over my tumblr dash so this is what I've gathered can someone please confirm if i've got it right

there's a demon named crowley

there's a biblically inaccurate angel named aziraphale but like it's very sexy when the demon calls him 'angel'

the demon and angel have been married for 6000 years and they still keep looking at each other all sappily

Neil Gaiman is somehow involved, I think he's the writer but also he's on tumblr (uh, @neil-gaiman) and people keep questioning if he's real

is neil gaiman like a fandom inside joke why is everyone asking if he's real

there actors are called michael and david and amazon prime thought they were the same

there is a bookstore and crowley is sad

they kiss and it is very nice and desperate and crowley says we could have been us. i have no context for this. someone is going to heaven i think.

there is a god, i'm not sure if they're good or evil though

the demon wears sunglasses

it's a comedy but for some reason everyone's crying after whatever the last season was, are you guys okay

things are on fire

they are very gay

there was a book and at one point they switch bodies

more fire and crowley screaming

they are called ineffable husbands i dont know what that means

they fight crime or they do crime or they fight crime by doing crime i really cannot remember which

gay

i’ve seen a lot of posts about the 4-year/6000 years debate, and to me it ultimately boils down to power and fear and freedom.

gabriel and beelzebub are in positions of enormous power. they have never questioned the way hell and heaven do things, they have never seen the consequences of their actions first-hand, they have never had to contemplate how this would affect them/how they would get punished. they aren’t really accountable the way Crowley and Aziraphale are. so they just don’t have the same amount of inhibitions that Crowley and Aziraphale have had built up for 6000 years.

it’s like how a rich person can get away with things a poor person can’t. it’s how kings can get away with doing things that servants can’t.

crowley and aziraphale lived in constant fear of getting caught, getting punished, getting tortured for a single misstep. crowley was tortured for preventing suicide to the point that he was ready to commit it. they’ve never had the freedom to explore anything that simmered between them like beelzebub and gabriel did and could. they did it right under the noses of heaven and hell simply because no one ever thought they would or could because they are accountable to no one (god and satan have better things to do and probably bet on them) and they could even fuck off to Alpha Centauri right in front of Heaven and Hell while Crowley and Aziraphale couldn’t and didn’t do that even when Heaven and Hell were busy

crowley & aziraphale are traumatised and repressed in ways that gabriel and beelzebub have never been, and so even after 6000 years they still miscommunicate and their exactlys are not the same.

I get why Aziraphale had a bad reaction to the kiss

I have been in Aziraphale position. No, not being in love with my bff and then having to go away for work. I've been on the receiving end of an out of nowhere "romantic kiss".

Let me tell you, IT'S NOT ROMANTIC.

It's a very shocking moment that you are VERY unprepared for. Especially when you're in an emotional state like Aziraphale.

I remember yelling "WHAT THE FUCK MAN!?" after my kiss. Mind you it's no "I forgive you" but It was still pretty bad. It was in no way romantic. Mainly confusing and awkward.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to paint Crowley in a bad light. We've seen these two idiots when it comes to romance. They get everything from film and books! In those settings, a grand romantic kiss always works. Of course Crowley is going to try that for his Angel.

But, this isn't one of Crowley's film or Aziraphale books. It's real life. Aziraphale is facing a life changing decision and is very close to losing his closest friend.

Then out of nowhere 'BAM!', his brain is being overwhelmed with anxiety and the sudden kiss of his beloved Demon. An Angel that has just recently had gotten comfortable TOUCHING Crowley casually is now thrusted into a full on kiss without his consent.

And yes, Aziraphale did want Crowley to "do it again" but only after he had time to process what's happened. By then the damage had been done.

I think to fix things in S3, Aziraphale needs to initiate a proper first kiss with Crowley. And I'm talking a PROPER first kiss!

Where they're both casually talking and there's a pause in conversation (hopefully talking properly and telling each other how they really feel!) They're making eye contact, standing closer to each other, quickly glancing down at the others lips. Then with a look, Aziraphale slowly leans into Crowley's space to show that he's ready. In that moment Crowley can close the gap and they can properly kiss.

I don't know about you, but that's the most romantic way to share a first kiss. Not sudden and rushed, but slow and gentle with 6000 years of pining behind it.

That's how you VaVoom!

I know we’re all collectively losing it in here over s2, but I can not FOR THE LIFE OF ME stop thinking about this fucking scene from the first season. Like the way he sees Aziraphale, slams on the brakes, parks the Bentley sideways, and then practically throws himself out the door and into the street—He’s just so brutally and unwaveringly desperate and vulnerable and terrified and AUGHHHH

The sheer, unfettered anguish and 6000 years of unspoken longing have me like,,,

David’s performance in this scene makes me want to eat drywall oh my god

"I've loved you for 6000 years"

The day we met

Frozen I held my breath

Right from the start

I knew that I'd found a home for my heart

Heart Beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died every day, waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for six thousand years

I'll love you for six thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty in all he is

I will be brave

I will not let anything take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step closer

All along, I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for six thousand years

I'll love you for six thousand more

I feel now that the Cafe AU is oficially done, I'm finally allowed to talk about my next project! Behold! Marriage AU

Aziraphale and Crowley loved each other long before the Beginning.

Unsurprisingly, Crowley's Fall changed nothing about that.

Or the 5 times over their 6000 years of shared history they got married.

Chapter 1 has already been written and covers the period between Eden and 2350 BC but I'm trying to be good and write a bit more before I start posting!

Pt III good omens but i STILL SOMEHOW haven't watched it (and i'm increasingly passive aggressive)

i'm now basically held hostage adopted as mascot by this fandom. it's fine i'm fine *SIGNALS FOR HELP DESPERATELY*

Alright fuckers I swear this time I'm going to get some shit right. Without further ado, here's my third attempt at a good omens summary:

Everything everywhere is queer all at once

Angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley on earth likey each other

The car is a bentley and it is BLACK not silver and everyone is very upset about this. my bad yall it was reflecting light therefore i guessed more silver than black but I'm not Anish Kapoor take your black.

Then it is yellow, and aziraphale likes it. crowley preferred the black because he's a flamboyant emo.

God is a deadbeat absentee parent and you are all children of divorce.

There's a naked archangel and they cause problems for the husbands somehow. By being naked? By being an archangel? By being at their doorstep? Who knows not me

They were actually married for 6000 years, they just are the last to know about it.

Crowley is on fire. Like, he's slaying for sure, but also he is literally on fire, like Aziraphale's bookstore.

The actors like I said before are Michael Sheen and David Tennant but this is the place where I finally admit that I don't actually know who is whom. I'm going to assume Michael is Aziraphale because Michael sounds angel-y and David is Crowley because uh Michaelangelo made David and was gay for him.

Terry Pratchett is not fictional.

He co-wrote the book with @neil-gaiman, who IS fictional, because he does not have social media. Several of you have assured me that he is in fact a fandom inside joke. I like to think he would be proud of me.

They adopt a preteen and Crowley gives him bad advice.

At some point a baby was delivered to someone and was exchanged for the son of Satan. Idk if the baby is the preteen, or the son of satan is the preteen, or neither. This could be a fanfic, I have no way of differentiating the fanfic from canon on tumblr, except that the canon is weirder.

Crowley does not go down a chute. He goes down a telephone cord after making himself microscopic to pole dance on a pin with shroom-induced backgrounds.

During this his stage name is Disco Tony. Get it king go slay you're making better life choices than I am tbh.

Aziraphale is a biblically accurate angel, and you have all gone to extensive lengths to prove this to me. I understood nothing, but there you go.

It's all very queer, just like the fandom.

Crowley is a retired demon but he still sins by breaking the speed limit.

They eat at fancy restaurants and bicker but like in a sexual undercurrent way.

Crowley gives Aziraphale a private dance that is not a lap dance, it is an apology dance, but not in a kinky way, until it is.

Their haircuts keep changing and range from 'this is acceptable and gay' to 'i let a drunk chimpanzee take gardening shears and a blowtorch to my hair'

It's all ineffably queer my good fellows

Everyone keeps trying to convince me Neil Gaiman is the villain yeah no guys I know it's really you. Y'all be like 'SEASON TWO BROKE ME' and then you're making headcanons to make it sadder yeah I see you mmhm.

There is a final fifteen. It is sad. What is it? No one told me.

The demon turns goats into crows and the angel turns them back and then children are turned into newts (does the angel turn them back? who cares not yall) and the demon was the snake in the Eden garden and everyone's furry game seems to be on point.

There are a rather lot of children. I have not seen them. But I am assured they are there. They are, guys. I assume they were turned into the alcohol Aziraphale and Crowley drink or something.

There was an apocalypse plotline. It was averted. It is not important. You don't talk about plotlines in this fandom, no sir.

Crowley doesn't want to go to heaven. Aziraphale is sad.

The kiss is not nice, just like this fandom. It is queer, just like this fandom. It is sad and desperate and masochistic, just like this fandom.

Aziraphale doesn't want to stay back with Crowley. Crowley is sad.

Season 2 ends. Fandom is sad.

Everyone's sanity is hinging on the promise of a happy ending in season 3. Good luck guys.

Y'all better appreciate this. I can't even boast to my mother about this legacy of mine, hey mum your son has been held hostage kidnapped inducted into a cult adopted by a fandom he's not part of look he's winning at life.

i started reading the book for the first time recently and somehow it just really hit me how all Crowley and Aziraphale have is each other.

like, there’s LITERALLY no one else who genuinely understands them. i mean, think about it.

they can’t get attached to humans for very long. Crowley and Aziraphale are immortal and have lived thousands of years, the lifespan of one person is nothing compared to that. if they get attached to humans it will never end well.

and even if they do make friends on earth they can’t really go around telling them "oh by the way, i‘m actually not human but an angel/demon send here to watch over humanity". they can’t open up to humans or tell them who they really are.

but then, neither of them are really attached to heaven or hell anymore either.

even in season 1, when they are still officially working for their 'head offices', it’s obvious that earth is just so much more important to them. Crowley and Aziraphale have been on earth since the beginning and that puts such a big distance between them and the other angels/demons.

in heaven and in hell they constantly say how Aziraphale and Crowley have been on earth for too long or that they have 'gone native'.

the angels and demons don’t trust A&C and they also just don’t understand how much Azi and Crowley love earth. they just can’t understand how earth and humanity mean so much to them.

which means that A&C really don‘t have any meaningful connections outside of each other. imagine how lonely that must be. it makes so much sense for them to become friends, and eventually, fall in love. they are the only ones who get it.

they are completely on their own and they have been for 6000 years. they depend on each other and they need each other.

which makes it even more devastating that they will be separated in season 3.

#sorry i know i‘m rambling and this isn’t really anything knew #but this just really hit me #they are all alone #and they need each other #i don’t know how to cope with the idea of them being separated #good omens #good omens rant #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #aziraphale #crowley #6000 years of pining #vi reads good omens #saying good omens stuff

SUMMARY:

Raphael had been the third angel ever created, and he’d raised himself first with Michael’s clumsy help. Then he’d turned around and raised three more siblings, and loved them all so fiercely it hurt. He'd loved Aziraphale too, more than either of them really knew.

And then, he fell. He lost everything. The bond he held with his siblings was ripped away, leaving an aching, empty void. And while he still has Aziraphale, the angel doesn't recognize the archangel who taught him how to care about the Earth. And Crowley refuses to tell him who he was, or how Aziraphale's voice is the one thing that can soothe the ache in his soul that wants, so badly, to feel a connection again.

A story through the ages as an angel and a demon come to terms with their shared past.

Words: 200,154

6000 years of slow burn, anyone? In which Crowley is secretly Raphael, who not-so-secretly adores a certain angel, this sprawling, canon-compliant rewrite is sure to leave you squealing, sobbing, smiling, stomping, and all the wonderful things in between. While the path he walks is tragic and fraught with complication, Crowley’s heart never wavers, even as a labyrinth of walls twists around his soul. Nevertheless, Aziraphale continues to shine, warm and constant, through the cracks. I’m not crying, YOU’RE crying. Everyone say, “we love you @wanderingsofal”
