Love that season 2 is covering the real english horror story - having uninvited guest show up at your house.
I would genuniely rather face the apocolypse than have to deal with that
[Image description] A digital illustration of Aziraphale, Crowley and Gabriel from the second season of good omens. Crowley and Aziraphale stand in the forground, with Azirapheal walking to the left with a grimice, once hand held up to his head in exasperation and the other other gesturing outwards. Crowley is walking to the right with a scowl, and is in the process of lowering his sun glasses. Gabriel stands in the middle behind the two of them, wearing a tartan sheet and holding a white mug with a blank smile. The rest of the background is engulfed in flames, which cast the rest of the scene in red light with harsh shadows. [end id]
I’ve never even heard of this before tho??? Wtf??????????
oh my god, I didn’t think there were any surviving versions of this post left
For those who weren’t around in the Deep Lore times, this is one of the relics of the editable post era. This post has THE SINGLE HIGHEST NOTES of ANY post on this site, bar none, but with more than a dozen variations. Every single post you’ve ever seen with more than 3 million notes has been a different version of this one.
This is the “Dean’s Gym Shorts” post. This is the Flubber post. This is the original “Reblog if you support gay people” post. it was ALL of them. before half the site got nuked, it had even more notes than it has now - at one point, well over 15 million, and that was years ago.
This, with no exaggeration, is the ONE TRUE heritage post
Every time I read a Merthur fic on ao3 I count my lucky stars for having such an incredibly talented bunch of authors in this fandom. 10 years plus and the creativity never dries up.
I was GOING to say. That when you read a wine menu and see something like “notes of leather and wet stone” you think “did an insane person write this its grapes” but after youve read about wine and growing regions and the effect of oak barrels on aging and tasted a bunch of stuff and given it some thought you find yourself taking a sip of french syrah and thinking “mmm little bit of leather on the finish there” and all of a sudden that shits not crazy anymore. Youve been cooked in the soup. Youve been living in the monkey house.
With omegaverse fanfic. You -
You get the idea. Do the work for me. Please
Sorry tanuki fucker 91. I will be clearer. You get coated in the slick
i am jiggling a credit card in the door crack. life is a rich tapestry come take my hand we will weave it together.
I'm rather sure this will get a "wait and see," in which case I'd be absolutely delighted to do just that. But I thought I'd ask, just in case.
At what point did you decide that there was a love story between Aziraphale and Crowley? Was it back in 1989, when parsing out the second book with Terry, or was it not until writing or developing the show that it progressed that way?
I ask because I personally am wont to find subtext between two (seemingly) male characters any chance I get, and yet I read Good Omens many times without feeling like there was romantic tension between them. It wasn't until I watched the show that I felt it and started shipping the pair of them in earnest.
So I was wondering if this was because it wasn't originally intended as a love story, but developed that way naturally as the show was being made.
I don’t think of Good Omens the novel as a love story – we were making it up as we went along. I definitely planned Good Omens the series as a love story. It gave me a shape to Crowley and Aziraphale and let them be the stars of the show. But it also made it all much easier to get to the plot that Terry and I had talked about for the second book.
