I don't want their dynamic to change once they are together. It's tried and tested over 6,000 years and it's who they are. I don't want their love languages to change just because they're finally expressing their whole range of emotions.
Crowley saving the books in the church and downplaying it like it was no big deal -- I want that to still be their thing. Crowley doing insanely romantic things and acting like it was nothing. Aziraphale doing his magic tricks specifically to make Crowley act like it's the most embarrassing thing ever, because it's fun.
I want all the cute couples stuff for them, but I think all that is part of it. There's a comfort and intimacy in being able to be that way with someone else. Loving each other for exactly who they are.

In an interview, Micheal and David said that a date between Crowley and Aziraphale would be Crowley letting Aziraphale choose what to do and then complain about it but staying anyway.
What do you think would Crowley choose to do on a date? I’d say shopping, concerts and alcohol (and I need to do a fanart of this so bad)

I’d love to make an edit with Crowley and You always find your way back home by Hannah Montana (“you can change your hair and you can change your clothes, you can say goodbye and you can say hello”) but I’m too lazy so I’m leaving it to your imaginations

hi neil! sorry to bother you with an ask you probably get a lot, but how do you make your writing captivating to read? I have a decent plot and some nice characters, but i feel like my writing is still very bland, and it's not doing the concept justice. there are a lot of books that are an absolute joy to read because of how wonderful the actual writing is, and i'm wondering how one goes about adding that element to their writing.
neil fans pls don't angry dm me like last time, that was really weird
A lot of it is experience. Do it enough and you will. As with anything— learning to play the piano, say — you are going to get more accomplished as you do it. That being said, some things you can learn. And one way to learn those things is to copy.
Find authors with recognisable and delightful styles, whose work you love, reread them and then try writing a paragraph in their style. Pretend to be Dickens or Ray Bradbury, PL Travers or e e cummings and see what happens. See what you do with words.
My first book (unpublished and not very good) doesn’t read like me at all. It reads like a weird mixture of Noel Langley and Hugh Lofting and Roald Dahl. But there is a page about 3/4 of the way through that reads just like me.

First post! I made a tumblr account because of S2 of Good Omens. Literally no other reason. What a time to join the fandom!
Well, truthfully, I’ve been lurking around for a while, trying to get a feel for things. Now after processing some of the things i’ve seen, commenting, asking, etc, I thought why not make a post. It’s what you do, right? I won’t be offended if you take my outsider’s perspective with a grain of interloper salt.
So, I wrote this. A brief introduction: I’m a grown person with too many responsibilities and I’m spending my precious, infinitesimally small amount of free time typing my intrusive thoughts about a fictional angel and demon on my phone. Am I doing it right?
I think so. I’ve read some amazingly complex metas, character analyses, and wondrously intricate posts analyzing the significance of pretty much any and every detail you could want to read about on this site. Truly awesome investigations, intriguing connections and insightful inquisitions.
I’ve also read some character analyses that left me very, very concerned.
I know this is a t e n s e topic right now, but stick with me.
There is a fact walking around out there that I want to set the spotlight on:
Good Omens is a comedy.
Now, this isn’t important in a ‘y’all need to lighten up’ sort of way. This is important because of how comedies develop their sympathetic characters versus how tragedies develop their sympathetic characters.
Now, in my opinion, some of the best comedic fiction rides the tragedy line just right up to the edge without pushing it over. (See the movie Stranger Than Fiction for a fun example of this). But ultimately, while a tragedy primarily pulls your sympathy with the realism of the suffering of the characters, a comedy elicits your sympathy with the absurdism of their suffering. Now these two things are, importantly, not mutually exclusive - the dial between real and absurd has to be spun round and around to bring life to most stories, but eventually it will land on one or the other.
Very important note: suffering in absurdism is not a lower form of suffering than suffering in realism. Suffering is suffering, it’s just that sometimes the combinations of forces that inflict suffering have no business trying to act like they make any sense, and sometimes they are exactly what you’d expect them to be.
Also important fact! Crowley and Aziraphale are both, equally, the sympathetic characters in Good Omens. One is not subjected to tragic suffering whilst the other is dealt comedic suffering. They are both intended to be read as characters equally deserving of our sympathy.
Which in turn means, in GO, if you feel more sympathetic towards one of the Ineffables than the other, then that is the story showing you exactly where you have room to grow in your understanding of and capacity for sympathy.
Which brings us back to character analytics in fandoms.
While we are, without a doubt, discussing fiction, any publicly expressed opinions made while analyzing that fiction can have real world consequences.
When fans post biased, cruel, vengeful, hateful takes about a character in a story whose narrative is intended to shine a spotlight the absurd complexities of suffering and to challenge our ability to embrace and cultivate sympathy for someone we don’t understand, that has the potential to bring harm to the real world. If people aren’t willing to challenge themselves to recognize the value of sympathizing with the fictional characters whose actions are outside their understanding, then what do they take out into the real world? And if those fans find an echo chamber in a fandom because harmful language is treated the same as opinion language, then that can have additional damaging real world ramifications.
The last of the important notes, and a very important one: it sounds like there have been reports of harassment by users related to this topic. Harassment is never ever okay.
But it is crucial to speak up to say, no, some takes are not just opinion. It’s not just a simple scroll past or block. There are folks out there that have written posts detailing the harm and suffering that they want for a character because of how they perceive his actions - a character that is, without question, by the very nature of the story, one that is intended to be a recipient of their sympathy. These harmful takes need to be challenged.
It’s not about whether you agree or disagree with actions, it’s about whether or not you are capable of having compassion for a suffering character that is not contingent on your understanding of their motivations or perspective.
If you don’t have sympathy for one of the two sympathetic characters, then I think you’re missing a very important lesson that NG is trying to tell you.
To end on a light note, there are about 10,000 other things I’ve seen in this fandom that make me forget all of this. The ART, the fanfics, the absolutely bonkers metas, l love it. I have a couple crazy meta ideas myself but I think i’ve written enough for now. Be well everyone!

Felt like sharing a smol sketch of my first Good Omens fanart!
I’m not used to draw men and I give up easily when I draw something I don’t like so I thought of starting with something easier (for me), it’ll be female Azi and Crowley for this time
It also has a backstory, can’t wait to finish it!
