Neil strongly supports fanart. Neil is wise to the ways of the world and human sexuality. Neil wrote Good Omens as a love story and signed off on heavy flirting between Crowley and Aziraphale and even made them kiss.

Neil wrote a scene with Aziraphale looking absolutely delicious in chains and waiting to be rescued.

Therefore,

Neil wants us to create Good Omens bondage porn.

#to everyone who has done so: keep up the good work #to anyone looking for a sign: this is it #thanks neil gaiman #good omens 1793 #1793 be still my heart #good omens fanart #good omens fanfiction #good omens #kinky omens

Why good omens is so powerful from someone who grew up in the Catholic church

I want to preface this by saying this is not an attack in any way on Catholic people, or Christians as a whole for that matter, most of you are cool normal people. This is just based off of my weird experience and how Good Omens effected me after.

I was raised in a Catholic school despite my family being agnostic which kind of warped my view of the world for a very long time. My parents were too busy to explain things to me so almost everything I was taught at a young age was spoonfed to me by the church.

Even though I wasn't particularly religious and my school wasn't awful to me or anything, it was still very clear that at this school you were going to participate and if you weren't baptized you were different.

It was funny, despite the wildly different situations I related to Crowley so much when I first saw the show (when I was maybe 12?). Sometimes I was ostracized by my Catholic peers and it hurt a lot. As I got older I adopted the same sort of blasé attitude Crowley has because it's what people expected of me.

Then I saw prefall Crowley in season two, and wow. That destroyed me. It reminded me of when I was younger and believed in the church and religion despite the fact I wasn't baptized. Then I started asking questions. Why was being gay a sin? Why was knowing the difference between good and evil bad? Why was everyone so angry?

And that was it. When I stopped trying to be Catholic because it felt like they didn't want me, I was different. Crowley is a great character not only because of how multifaceted he is, but because he is a great parallel to how people can be and ARE treated by the church.

Maybe this is obvious and I'm only catching it now, but Good Omens and religious trauma kind of go hand in hand. Thanks Neil for helping me realize what I went through as a kid wasn't normal and giving me a piece of media that made it so much easier to break down all the weird stuff I was taught.

TL;DR: I was a weird traumatized little kid and Good Omens helped me cope. Also Crowley is a metaphor.

okay so since the sandman is streaming i had the weirdest dream last night. in the dream, i was posting at 2:43am ‘do y’all think neil gaiman knows what a blorbo is’ and neil gaiman materialized in a dark corner of my room and whispered so ominously ‘i hope it’s the one from my shows’ and now i live with constant fear.

okay but the important thing abt shows like OFMD and Good Omens which have like no straight ppl (at least in the second season for good omens ) is that.. like you know, we had little media for so long, and then we get ALL THESE QUEER CHARACTERS IN THE SAME SHOW WHICH IS JUST LIKE HOW QUEER FRIEND GROUPS EXIST AND YK. ITS LIKE WE NEED TO SHOW STRAIGHT PPL OR WE NEED REALLY GOOD ALLYS TO SHOW HOW DISNEY AND SHIT SHOULD DO IT

I sat in the dark and thought: There’s no big apocalypse. Just an endless procession of little ones. ― Neil Gaiman

Let me take you on a quick wild ride. My whole life I have hopped through one obsession to the next, and drawing has been my outlet of choice for all of those obsessions.

It gives me enough distance that it has helped me process real world life in millions of drawings over time. My life wouldn’t have been my life without it.

In 2016 that crashed.

I quit my job, my health took a nosedive life just kicked me in the gut and my passions and drawings just…stopped.

My one coping mechanism and processing tool was just gone. Overnight.

I tried everything I could to jump start that engine but nothing worked.

For three years I fretted and screamed and went to actual therapy, (which helped) but my hyper fixation outlet wasn’t coming home.

So one night in 2019 I had a dream. Robert Downey Jr. (Don’t ask, he just pops in sometimes unannounced) shows up in my head and tells me “Hey, don’t worry. Just hang in there. You just need a change of scenery, a new place for you, and it’ll all come back I promise.”

What does that mean? I was married. In a house. No plans whatsoever to move or travel. New space? Change of scenery? What?

Six weeks later my spouse of 15 years left me suddenly just out of the blue.

Then Covid hit.

I had to find a NEW job which I did with a career with the public library I love.

But it doesn’t pay as much as my last job so I had to sell my house.

I moved in with family.

I saved up money.

And on Friday the 28th of July, I finally was able to move into my own place.

I unpacked my tv, and surrounded by boxes I turn on Good Omens.

I binged season 2 in one sitting.

As the credits roll and I feel my heart break and tears are pouring down my face I suddenly jolt and burst out laughing with maniacal chest heaving, I can’t breathe right laughs.

Because there it is that spark. That need to draw.

RDJ was right.

In my change of scenery, in my new space, without me trying, that spark was back.

I’ve drawn every single day since and that feeling, that outlet, hell ME is back.

And if it hadn’t been a gut wrenching cliff hanger of a season with characters so well written and compelling and DRAWABLE it might not have sparked like it did. But…it did.

I’m out of practice.

It’s so frustrating some days. But it’s here.

So dammit Neil thanks man.

And I don’t know how you knew this perfect storm would happen 4 years ago Dream Robert Downey Jr. But thanks for the heads up. I did hold on and I was patient. And I am back.

I’m so excited for good omens season 2!!

I read the book when I was a teenager, & I’d carry it around with me from class to class in middle school.

My mom & I would make each other laugh by going “my point is… dOlPhinS” & quoting Crowley talking with Hastur & Ligur (“uh… hi guys.”) I always wanted a sequel & this feels like a dream come true! Can’t wait to watch it with mom soon 🥰

Me after being home with a sick mini-me all day, remembering what a complete pain in the ass I am -

My kid is either going to lead the revolution, or end up in the mafia. She is RUTHLESS. But she did promise to help with laundry if I "let her" watch Good Omens so I have that going for me.

#thanks neil gaiman #bonding with my kid over this angel #good omens #absolutely having all the wine tonight though
