Neil Gaimain about writing Good Omens with Terry Pratchett (x)

Neil: His line to me when we were writing “Good Omens”, he would phone me up and he’d say, I’ve just done this and it’s made it 17% funnier. I’d written this whole meeting between the International Express man and Pollution and I’d mentioned that, you know, ‘he and his wife went down there sometimes when they were courting to spoon’ and Terry added the line, ‘and on one memorable occason, fork.’

Rob: On one memorable occasion.

Neil: On one memorable occasion, and it‘s made it 17% better. In fact, in that case it may have made it 100% better.

What’s your favourite line from good omens?

The invisible and unbreakable one that joins Crowley and Aziraphale.

A little animatic I made after brainrotting “It Only Takes a Moment” after rewatching WallE. It took two months but I DID IT

(first off: I'm not an astronomer, and I may be wildly off, but…) I had always assumed that "This too was incorrect. By almost a quarter of an hour", on the first page of Good Omens, was a throwaway joke. Today I realised it might actually be a reference; was it?

AIUI, Ussher said that although the creation occurred on the autumn equinox (22 September), he gave the date as 21 October to account for the drift caused by the Julian calendar, which was in use in Ireland at that time. I think he also said that it occurred at 9am Irish time, because that's noon in Jerusalem.

What just occurred to me is that Irish civil time is calculated from the Greenwich meridian. But Ussher lived in Armagh, 6.55° west of Greenwich. The solar time in Armagh at noon in Jerusalem is 9:19am and on 21 October is 9:11am. So 9am is off by almost a quarter of an hour.

Thanks for all the happy memories and the solidarity over the years.

I just want to show this to Terry Pratchett.

“ I saw that you were perfect and I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more.”

~Angelita Lim

Here’s the detail post for the tombstones so you can read them all. 😏 And some face/other detail close ups here.

I immediately thought of Aziraphale when I read this quote. The angel has a long way to go, BUT his entire storyline about coming to understand shades of gray and falling in love with Crowley for who he really is - not his perfect angelic self - is done SO well. Manifesting him telling Heaven where they can shove it in season 3.

Also dramatic lightning and yummy color palettes are just 🤌🤌🤌

P.S. Crowley bought little Timmy a new ice cream and encouraged him to pursue a career in ornithology.
