Speculation on Archangel Michael
I think Crowley might have murdered Michael's boyfriend.
Tumblr media
The way she rushes off so eagerly to make that phone call in the stairwell.
"It's me," she says with familiarity. Her voice is soft, and sweet, like her smile. "It's our man, Aziraphale. Is there any possibility he's working for you?"
She accepts his denial easily, without question. "No? Well then, you might want to investigate the activities of the demon Crowley. Might be playing his own game, word to the wise."
She's warning him. When he resists, she pushes back, but she is still gentle. "No, I'm - I'm telling you, you can't trust him."
He questions her, and there is a flirtatiousness in her voice. She almost purrs. "Of course you can trust me. I'm an angel."
Who is she talking to?
Tumblr media
That's right. This guy. Ligur.
The one Crowley melts with holy water when Ligur comes for him.
Contrast this with the way Michael conducts her phone call to Hell in S2. (For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure she's talking to Dagon.)
Tumblr media
"I'm not saying Hell is complicit in this," she says, the facade of angelic grace barely concealing her irritation. She's lounging stiffly in her chair. She doesn't want to be on this call, explaining herself. "I'm not saying anyone is complicit. I'm just saying that if anyone is found helping him, we are prepared to use extreme sanctions."
"Extreme sanctions?" echoes the voice on the line.
"Yes," says Michael, almost rolling her eyes and restraining a sigh. "Book of Life."
"I'm on it," says the voice dutifully.
Michael's reply is almost a sneer. "I appreciate it," she says, and hangs up on the demon by literally blowing them off.
That is a pretty big tonal shift.
The softness she showed Ligur is not her usual way of going about things. She does not get her way by using a light touch. Irritated exasperation is closer to Michael's default.
She's calculating, and canny, and restrained. She sees through Aziraphale's deception in the Job job. She later investigates him by combing through Earth's surveillance when he makes some remarks that don't sit right with her. She cuts people off to talk over them. She's ambitious and covets Gabriel's job.
And yet, she was soft and sweet to Ligur, in a way we never see again.
And when it was time to execute Crowley, who showed up with a pitcher of holy water to destroy him?
Tumblr media
That's right. Michael.
Taking this scene at face value, I thought it was because Michael is one of Heaven's heavy-hitters, and she's the one with the backchannel to Hell. She's the one talking to them, so she's the one who goes there with the holy water.
But with S2 in mind, I'm seeing this with different eyes.
I think she requested this job. She knows Ligur was destroyed trying to bring in Crowley, and she has probably guessed where the demon's holy water came from. This execution was personal. She wanted to be the one to supply the water that melted the Serpent of Eden into a dingy pool of filth, just like he did to the demon she cared about. When she walks away with an empty pitcher, she looks satisfied.
That's it, that's the theory. Crowley murdered her boyfriend, Aziraphale supplied the murder weapon, and she probably hates both of them down to her angelic bones.

I present, in its entirety, the Buggre Alle This Bible from Good Omens (book). Initially the bit about a scribe who is just so done with his job. And then I kept going, all quotes from the book on each canvas. There are Easter eggs aplenty in each canvas. Paint, alcohol and water-based markers, rhinestones, feathers, and other schmutz. I also aged a craft store trunk for it to live in.

S1E1 – In The Beginning Write Up P3
– Five Years Later (allegedly) and The Present Day
Tumblr media
Alright so let’s address the elephant in the room here shall we? The signpost tells us, in no uncertain terms, that the story line has moved on by five years. I have a serious issue with that assertion, and it’s not just because this is in direct contradiction to the storyline in the book. It goes a little something like this:
I cannot believe that Aziraphale and Crowley have left the Antichrist alone for the first five years of his life.
Even if we’re generous here and say that Crowley steps in to replace a nanny that has been present for Warlock’s early years, it simply doesn’t make any sense that they would have sat back and let him develop on his merry way for the most influential years of his life (sorry Neil, but I will die on this hill). The book’s timeline here makes a lot more sense – that both Aziraphale and Crowley are inserted into Warlock’s life within a week of his birth, Aziraphale as the gardener and Crowley as the nanny. At the age of five, they both leave and return immediately as tutors for him, ensuring that they are both present for his entire childhood. With that in mind, I’m going to do something potentially controversial and adopt the book timeline as fact. It just makes more sense. Also that will make my fanfic ideas not only possible but genuinely really feasible. Honestly, I don’t know why the timeline deviates from the book here – this matter aside, the series is a truly excellent adaptation of the book (judged by the fact that I never said “that’s not how it happened in the book” for the whole of series 1. There are a lot of media writers that could learn a lot from Neil on this point – I’m looking at you Discovery of Witches series 2 creative team).
There are two things I find interesting about the short scene that follows (no, one of them is not how well David carries off a skirt, though I do really appreciate the Mary Poppins reference with that costume). Firstly, the positioning of Aziraphale as a gardener. I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that the idea of a garden is brought up again, but I can’t quite make the connection myself. Perhaps there isn’t meant to be one. That said, I would have thought, given his character, Aziraphale might have been more suitable as something like a butler (it would even give him the opportunity to steal food!), which would likely give him more opportunity to interact with Warlock throughout his childhood, so I do feel like there’s something here.
On a tangential (and impossible-to-be-related) note, I saw Nye a few days ago (a play about the founder of the NHS, starring Michael, for those who don’t know what this is) and there was a line in it about Nye and his wife believing their love to be like a garden – he planted the love and she tended to it. It was truly beautiful and touching. I felt like I had a sort of light bulb moment about gardens in GO and then realised that the two productions have nothing to do with one another!
The second thing I noted about this sequence is more something of note than something that has meaning. Having discussed the music/soundtrack for this series in a previous write up, it should come as no surprise that there is a cute little parallel here: the melody Crowley uses for the lullaby he sings to Warlock is the same as the melody for the second motif in the theme tune. It’s slowed down quite considerably, but still recognisable.
Original theme:
Lullaby:
I have to say, I’m a little disappointed we don’t get to hear the rendition of “Three Little Pigs” that we’re treated to in the book. I am not ashamed to say that I laughed very long and very hard when I read it – I have a pretty dark sense of humour. Perhaps this was a little too much for the good ol’ BBC?
Tumblr media
Quick item of note from the next scene at Heaven/Hell HQ – this series has escalators instead of an elevator. I had originally assumed that this was the same building as we see being used in series 2 to gain access to Heaven but looking at the background when Crowley and Aziraphale enter the building, it’s clear that it’s a completely different building, which just makes me wonder where exactly the HQ entrance is. There’s a really clever piece of editing at use here too, one which I actually didn’t spot until I was doing this write up.
Tumblr media
I hadn’t noticed previously that the duplicate image of the escalator on the floor of the lobby ISN’T a reflection of the physical escalators. On the left, we can see Crowley’s image on a set of escalators going down, whilst we see no reflection of Aziraphale. We even get to see Crowley approach the escalator in the “reflection” after he disappears through the floor, whilst Aziraphale’s reflection disappears from the floor as he approaches the stairs, and both of these things happen as they walk across an area that ripples like water under their feet. I don’t think there’s any hidden meaning in this, I just think it’s a really cool piece of film.
When we see the angel and demon giving their reports to their respective head offices, it’s made clear to us that neither authority has any awareness of their collaboration. In fact, Aziraphale is still held in high esteem by Gabriel and Michael (though perhaps not Uriel and Sandalphon – those two always look like someone just pissed on their nice suits) and is even given permission to continue on his apparently futile mission. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of Crowley, but as Liggur said earlier in the episode, it would be a funny thing if demons could trust one another anyway.
It’s nice to see that Heaven isn’t so busy that it can’t produce a newspaper for its earthbound agents, complete with weak headlines, worthy of any local rag:
Tumblr media
I do not think it a coincidence that the newspaper has been given the title of “Observer” – after all, it’s pretty much all they do up there isn’t it? Watch people? Other than planning Armageddon I mean…
The short scene on the bus also shows us a little more of the dynamic between Crowley and Aziraphale when it comes to planning. It’s clear that the angel is relying on the demon to lead the way and he looks really worried when it’s made apparent that Crowley doesn’t have a plan for a potential emergency situation.
Tumblr media
Quick note about the Hell Hound – he’s being housed in a room with a number on it – 2549. Does this mean there have been 2548 Hell Hounds before him? Hastur certainly indicates that he isn’t the only Hell Hound they have (but he is the biggest). Where are the rest of them?
The conversation (which takes place in the grounds of Crystal Palace Dinosaur Park - the repeated reference to dinosaurs being a big joke in this scene is not lost on me) on the park bench is the first time we hear Crowley call Aziraphale by the name “Angel”. Neil has confirmed (here and here) that this isn’t anything other than a factual name to use but I can’t help but feel like it’s affectionate. It’s certainly very familiar and it’s interesting to see that Aziraphale doesn’t repay the favour; perhaps this is to do with the meaning of the words – after all, calling someone “demon” doesn’t feel very polite, does it? Or perhaps it’s just that “Aziraphale” is a bit of a mouthful to say. This is also the first time we are let in to the secret of them having their own side:
AZIRAPHALE: And if he does name it? CROWLEY: Then you and I have lost.
The conversation around the potential murder of an 11-year-old boy presents an interesting side of the relationship between the pair. I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that the suggestion that Aziraphale is capable of killing an innocent child (even if he is the Antichrist) is nothing short of laughable, and Crowley would know this. This suggestion is shared with a rare occurrence of Crowley communicating “secretly” with Aziraphale where the angel doesn’t get the message, and the irony is that Crowley isn’t even being that subtle about it. There’s no doubt that Aziraphale really doesn’t get the drift though:
Tumblr media
It’s painful to watch Aziraphale’s thought process here. He knows that Crowley’s logic actually makes sense but he can’t tally that with his own moral compass – it’s a struggle that I think the vast majority of us would go through if put in the same position. Sadly, it’s not like Crowley has much other choice than to suggest Aziraphale does the deed – if he were to do it himself, the repercussions for him would be unthinkable. It’s clear that this is the first time he has raised this idea in the eleven years they’ve been doing this job together and he can’t even say it without his voice breaking (see “one life against the universe”), and once it’s clear that Aziraphale isn’t open to the idea he doesn’t push him or lose his temper. He watches Aziraphale carefully for the whole exchange, without changing his expression, which I take to mean he’s watching for any signs that he’s pushing him too far.  All of this tells me he’s only done it because they’re getting desperate.
Alright, it’s time to move on to the little “magic” routine. I find this whole sequence adorable - can we say 1941 vibes? I do find it interesting just how quickly Aziraphale’s mood changes with the idea of him being able to perform some magic again – he’s gone from the contemplation of the ethics of an actual trolley problem (see here if you don’t know what that is) to a smiling, bubbly angel complaining that his companion is “no fun” in mere seconds. For someone who lives their life in eons of centuries instead of years or decades, he’s a remarkably fickle being! It’s pretty blurry in this shot, but just look how happy this angel is:
Tumblr media
The hidden communication thread is resumed at normal operation here as Crowley knows exactly what Aziraphale means when he says he could “entertain” – he knows exactly what he means by this and is not amused by the implications.
Tumblr media
I also find Crowley’s use of the word “demeaning” an interesting choice here. Usually we might say embarrassing; in fact the dictionary definition of demeaning is to lower the character of somebody, or to make them feel less respected. Whilst I can fully understand why Crowley might be embarrassed by Aziraphale’s pathetic attempts at illusionary magic, I am less clear on why he would find it demeaning. UNLESS. Unless my suppositions about the state of their relationship are correct, in which case they would have already been together (romantically) for almost eleven years at this point. Then it makes a weird sort of sense.
The comic little squabble that follows also makes perfect sense in this context. This couple are in no mood to compromise on this matter; Aziraphale will not be told that he’s a shit magician because he has too much fun doing it (this despite the fact that we know he and Crowley agreed he shouldn’t do magic anymore, but unlike in 1941, there’s no risk of anybody getting hurt if he drops a coin on the floor) and Crowley will not concede that he’s being a killjoy (which goes quite against his character). The spat concludes with Crowley delivering a passive-aggressive threat to Aziraphale, which you can see he instantly reconsiders with a head tilt - probably wise considering how unimpressed the angel is with it.
Tumblr media
Side note: the watch that Crowley is wearing (seen at Warlock’s birthday party) appears to be a Devon Tread 1 A, coming in at a cool 18.5K (dollars). The book does make mention of his watch being fucking fashionably expensive but it was custom made for him, with an extra time zone for “Another Place” where the time is always “Too Late”.
Another side note: how many dens did you make as a child? A fair few I’d bet if you were anything like me. Did they ever look as cool as the one that The Them has? Me neither. I mean, just look at all those guns and skeletons used for decoration:
Tumblr media
Once we’re back at the book shop, I find it interesting that Aziraphale is intending to imbibe (we don’t actually see him drink any of it) whatever spirit he’s given to Crowley. I’ve no doubt it’s good quality, it’s just unusual to see him drinking hard liquor – perhaps this is simply due to the seriousness of the situation he finds himself in. Their conversation about lying in memos to head office also suggests that Crowley might not be the only one lying to his bosses:
CROWLEY: Everyone stretches the truth a bit in memos to head office, you know that.
Is it me, or is there a sense of “I told you so” to Aziraphale’s lack of sympathy towards Crowley’s despair? Some might say it’s reminiscent of the way a stereotypical nagging wife speaks to their long-suffering husband when he’s done something wrong…
In amongst the dark threat of impending Armageddon, we’re still treated to a little comedy (and perhaps another Clue as to the current status of the relationship between the angel and demon). Crowley’s snappy, and ill-considered, outburst in response to Aziraphale’s almost apologetic confession that he’s wearing a new cologne is well worth a word or two. Let’s say for a second that this pair are not romantically involved at this point in time – is it not a bit strange to think that the person you’re with knows you so well that they would detect that you’re wearing a different perfume than usual? I would think you’d have to be spending a LOT of time in VERY close proximity to that person for that piece of information to be anywhere near their radar. And what’s with the angel’s apologetic tone? Why would you feel the need to be sorry about trying out a new cologne? Aziraphale doesn’t look particularly shocked when Crowley announces that he knows what he smells like, and Crowley’s tone and facial expression suggests he thinks this piece of knowledge is a pretty obvious one.
Tumblr media
Here’s my last observation for this episode. Check out just how earnest Crowley is in this delivery:
Tumblr media
Despite Aziraphale’s response that he thinks he obviously would, I don’t really feel like he believes this stance, and he’d do anything not to believe that what Crowley is saying is true.
And so concludes the first episode! If you’ve made it this far through my write-up(s) so far, I commend and thank you. I’ll start work on the next episode over the next few days, but in the meantime I’ll also write a master post that I’ll add to as I go along. As always, comments, questions, discussions and any other engagements are welcome.

After the trial Beelzebub called Michael back to hell, they told Archangel to bring holy water.
When they went they assumed that hell had caught Crowley again and wants to get rid of him. To their surprise, Beelzebub tells them to pour the water into a glass, and then, before they can even object, Hastur riches for the glass and drinks it in one take. He discorporates fast, but before he's completely gone Michael catches his relaxed smile.
They turn around to ask what exactly happened and freeze in shock. Dagon covers her mouth and looks like she could cry at any moment. And Beelzebub looks completely devastated, they didn't even change their pose, just kept standing the same way they'd been when Michael entered the room.
So it wasn't a mistake? That demon was supposed to drink it, and not their traitor?
"Why?" it seems to be the only thing that keeps running through Archangel's head. Only when both demons turn to them, do they realize that it was said out loud. Both of them look surprised in their own unique way; Beelzebub seems to be shocked that Michael is in the room, although they were the ones to call them there; and Dagon seems as if they were to say another word she'll go hysterical. It just occurred to Michael that there were only three demons in the room, two in fact, there were only clothes left from the third one.
Dagon seems to make a very serious effort and, which left an angel in complete shock because it's definitely not what you expect from a demon, whispers.
"He was lonely, after Ligur and..." The sentence was cut short, and Michael thought they heard a sob or at least a ragged sigh.
"He did not want to live alone, while LIgur is dead. So he wanted to be gone. He asked for a favor, and we gave it." Beelzebub talks too fast, too emotionless, almost automatically, as if they were not awake but sleepwalking. Then they seem to wake up. Beelzebub thanks Michael(an unthinkable thing!!) and tells them that they, Beelzebub and Dagon, would be grateful if Michael wouldn't tell anyone about what they had witnesed.
Michael never understood that day. They never understood demons' emotions or why they were so weird then.
Beelzebub and Dagon never talked about that day. They never talked about Ligur and Hastur. Never of holy water.
They got distant since. But Dagon still felt a weird pain when Beelzebub disappeared with that archangel.
Why would her friends abandon her like that?
Beelzebub missed their friend, Dagon was the only person they had left after the "armageddon attempt." And she believed they were a traitor.
Why? They didn't do anything wrong.

Hello, everybody!
This is a bit of a mash up post.
Life’s gotten super busy again! I’m back on that overtime at work as two people have jumped ship. It’s why I’ve been less active here.
Anyway, I’m still writing my fiction. It’s officially got a title — Memory Reboot — and it’s gonna be full of angst and fluff. To make it to the fluff, we must first survive the angst. I have a beta — @sad-chaos-goblin 💚
Tumblr media
I’ve created an original character for Good Omens, and — after some thought — I’ve decided to make room for him in Memory Reboot. His name is Raven, and he’s a Nephilim — half angel, half demon. He’s been very fun to create.
I have also made a secondary blog for him because I thought I’d return to RP. It’s been quite some time since I’ve done it, so I’m probably a bit rusty, but I’ve found myself missing it.
Raven can be found at @raven-the-nephilim if anyone would like to interact with him. He is available for both original and existing characters.
Lastly — I can’t say this enough. Thank you, everyone, for your support and kindness and for making my return to tumblr a lovely experience! The Good Omens fandom is absolutely wonderful and truly has been a breath of fresh air. 💚

Is there any sign that the archangel Michael had a past relation to Ligur duke of hell??
No.
When Ligur, Duke of Hell, broke into the Garden of Eden to steal lemons from the Tree of the Knowledge of Smut and Pornography (like the lemon stealing whore he is) the Archangel Michael defended the tree by stabbing Ligur repeatedly with a long spear. He cried out, obviously in pain, and eventually retreated from the Garden after they took a nap together (they were both exhausted after fighting for hours).

So you have 3 Dagons now and Uriel? Still waiting for Shax?
Hope you take good care of them and yourself. And not just try to compensate for something. I'm sure your mother loves you
I am quite sought after, yes. Which is I'm certain @duchess-shax will return my call soon enough. She's just busy with work, is all. Hell is understaffed at the moment, you know.
@the-almighty-god does love me, thank you very much. And I'm sure She will tell me how proud She is of me for smiting you.

I got a very dumb Good Omens shipping confession to make.
I don't get Ineffable Bureaucracy. I honest to god don't understand it, Gabriel and Beelzebub have so little chemistry. They only had one scene together, but it was so short that I couldn't even get what their relationship was supposed to even be for people to think they could be romantically together. Shipping for the sake of shipping is fun, but I just don't get it with those two!
I believe Michael and Ligur's chemistry more than Gabriel and Beelzebub's, and all Michael and Ligur did was talk on the phone. I at least sensed a comradery there with Michael's backtalk! Those two sounded like they knew each other for a bit while Gabriel and Beelzebub didn't even want to be around each other. They were only at the Airbase for Adam, getting annoyed at Aziraphale and Crowley, and nothing else.
I guess Jon Hamm and Anna Maxwell Martin weren't great scene partners for me to really sense what Gabriel and Beelzebub's relationship was supposed to be. I just don't care about them being together at all.
For Season 2, I'm hoping for SOME kind of relationship between Beelzebub and Gabriel if Shelley Conn was a better scene partner. Even if it's like grumpy acquaintances, PLEASE give them more chemistry for me to at least be aware of and make me say, "Oh, that's nice."
I don't want it to sound like I'm a hater on this ship as if it's the worst thing ever, I just don't understand it. I'm the most canon compliant person under the sun, so to me, Gabriel and Beelzebub do NOT look like they'd like each other in the slightest. 😅

Aziraphale and Crowley were happy, before they met, before everything went wrong.
Aziraphale, while struggling to understand why Ecliel has granted him magic as a sort of cosmic joke, indulged in it for simple pleasures. Healing cuts after training, mending tapestries and removing dust while cleaning, and before earning his halos he’d cast a small light spell in order to read at night.
He didn’t particularly hate anyone else his age, really. Sure, Michael, Uriel, Sandy, they tended to pick on him and mess around. Making teasing jokes and taking his reading. And sure, Gabriel was sometimes a bit of a prick, constantly challenging him to practice spars and constantly trying to one-up him back when they did choir. Saraqael acted as a mother figure to him, guiding him in prayers and his self reflections every week. But despite that, Aziraphale liked them. No, he loved them. They were his siblings. He’d spend late nights sitting in the library with Gabriel in particular, sharing secrets and their thoughts about the scripture. It was a strange, yet comforting, relationship.
Raphael Crowley was most certainly one of the more enthusiastic students. Their roommate, Beez, had to put up with her constantly rambling and info dumps about the different forms of zodiac magic they were studying, and their investigations into the different celestial calendar her magic seemed to follow. While Beez seemed annoyed by this, zey sat back and listened regardless.
She had a strange sort of rivalry with Hastur and Ligur, a duo that loved to combine their earth and water elemental magic with each other to cause chaos whenever they practiced together. Dagon was a…mentor of sorts, always reminding her in class of the assignments they had to do. While she didn’t reciprocate, Crowley was keenly aware of the crush Furfur had on them, as she and Shax would gossip with each other about it. And she prided herself in her class rankings, and how Aries, or Lucifer, had a particular interest in her and their skills at their magic. (Beez used to make fun of them for being a teachers pet)
They were both blissfully ignorant and happy. The calm before the storm.
