Good Omens as Hozier Unreal Unearth Lyrics
De Selby 1- No closer could I be to God / Or why he could do what he's done
De Selby 2- too down bad for good omens let's be real
First Time- not applicable so much, unless it's 'first time that you called me angel' lol
Francesca (works so well for Crowley)- Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I
I, Carrion (Icarian) - We'll float away, but if we fall I only pray, don't fall away from me / I do not have wings, love, I never will, soarin' over a world you are carryin'
Eat Your Young- N/A
Damage Gets Done - That first car was like wings on an angel (and you flew away) / Before the whole wide world got too thin
Who We Are (Is literally perfect for them) - You and I burned out our steam chasing someone else's dream / How can something be so much heavier but so much less than what it seems? / Darling, we sacrificed / We gave our time to something undefined
All Things End (Oh Crowley, nothing lasts forever) - I have never known a silence like the one fallen here / Never watched my future darken in a single tear / And all things end / All that we intend is built on sand / Slips right through our hands
To Someone From a Warm Climate - There are some things that no one teaches you, love / That God in his awful wisdom first programs in
Butchered Tongue will never mean anything else to me but a lament for Gaelic language and the generational trauma of my Irish ancestors so I'll omit it
Anything But- I don't wanna be anything / But I would do anything just to run away
Abstract (Psychopomp) - The Earth from a distance / See how it shines
Unknown/Nth (Buckle in) - You called me angel for the first time / My heart leapt from me / You smile now, I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth / And what's left of it, I listen to it tick / Every tedious beat going unknown as any angel to me / Do you know, I could break beneath the weight / Of the goodness, love, I still carry for you
First Light - Darkness always finds you either way / It creeps into the corners as the moment fades / A voice your body jumps to calling out your name / But after this I'm never gonna be the same / And I am never going back again

'we are people with some talent who get good at what we do by doing it' is exactly what I needed to hear. Putting it on my wall rn
Hello Mr. Gaiman,
How old were you and Terry when you each first got published? Huge fan of both of your works and I’m always curious when my favorite authors first got published. As I get older I feel like any chance of finishing and publish something I’m proud of get slimmer. Thank you in advance if you answer and no worries if you don’t, I know you must get flooded with questions every day lol. ❤️
I was first published when I was 22, but didn't publish any fiction until I was 23. Terry was 15.

On The Crow Road by Ian Banks in Good omens.
Sharp-eyed watchers may have noticed this book's appearance in the opening credits, on the back of a chair beside Terry Pratchett, or that Gabriel reads the first line in the bookshop "It was the day my grandmother exploded". Most watchers will have noticed the emphasis the camera puts on the book Muriel reads, which they hold at an odd angle, reminiscent of The Truman Show's hidden advertisements. Having noticed this in the intro, I had to look more into this book.
The Crow Road follows a man called Prentice at the age of 22, but also as a child. It's a slice-of-life book with romantic subplots and a strong nihilist theme as Prentice wrestles with religion. The book is non-linear and non-chronological, jumping from present to past at will. The cast doesn't change either, and the only clue the audience is given to understand if a chapter is past or present is tenses- present Prentice is first person, while child Prentice is third person.
The memories are seemingly random and although they sometimes have links to present Prentice, the only real connection is Prentice himself.
The other important thing to mention here is that when everything shifts at page 300, so does the genre. It's no longer a cutesy slice-of-life book, it's a murder mystery.
And religion is very important to this story. Prentice's desire to believe in afterlife is staunchly rebutted by his father's atheism. It all seems very pointless and random. His father (spoiler) does actually die during the book, leading Prentice to wonder if his father went to heaven, or as an atheist, was condemned. "The Crow Road" is his grandmother's name for someone who's died- they've gone to the crow road.
That is, until page 300, when the story actually starts, and you realise all this has been a set up. The payoff in this book is late.
Now comes the murder mystery. In reading this I wondered if this is a setup/payoff format for Gabriel in Good Omens- as Prentice looks into the disappearance of his uncle Rory many years ago and finds out (spoiler!) he was murdered. The book ends with Prentice understanding what love really means (his soulmate has been right in front of him all along!) and coming to terms with religion and loss.
There are a few things I can see very obviously linked to season 2.
the non-linear storytelling. The minisodes are inserted seemingly at random and sometimes barely have any reason to be there. The book of Job, for example, was offhandedly mentioned by Gabriel at one point in the episode. Why show us forty minutes of it if all we need to know was that they met Job once?
Religion and nihilism- obviously. Aziraphale grapples with his understanding of good/bad through a religious lens, while Crowley has disregarded it all.
the romantic subplot and slice-of-life genre- season 2, for the most part, feels a lot more romantic than season 1, and most scenes with our favourite angel and demon do feel very slice-of-life.
first person/third person. Aziraphale narrates the minisodes via a journal he keeps. In the present, however, we aren't guided by a narrator at all, implying it to be third person omnipotent.
But why is it so important to the story?
I can't say for sure. Maybe Neil Gaiman was trying to emphasise the three things I've already pointed out. I believe it more likely, however, that good omens hasn't reached page 300 yet. Having read "The Magic Trick You Didn't See" essay just last night, the Crow Road seems to back up this theory perfectly. I'll link it in case you don't know what I'm referring to.
I wish I could come up with a perfect theory based on what i've found, but right now I'm at a loss. I'm sure you can do more with this than I can :)

Isn’t it crazy that this man wrote down some words, it got made into TV, and then when I watched it, those words and that acting caused me to have a very genuine mental breakdown
i think it’s cool that you use tumblr. you dont see a lot of celebrities or writers/producers/actors on here anymore. i appreciate what you’re doing.
also you’re going to jail and then to hell for that new season
I'm still processing that people are saying this because they cared more than they expected to about what happened. And they aren't saying it because they thought the acting or the way it was shot or the direction or the VFX were bad, or that the dialogue was clumsy or out of character. They say it because it made them feel things they weren't expecting to feel.

and that’s why we love Neil Gaiman
So were you cackling like a wizard casting curses when you wrote the last part of episode 6 or is that just subtext?
No, I was really sad for them.

This morning I woke up thinking about how brave Crowley was to confess to Aziraphale. We've never seen him be so vulnerable and I fear we won't again because it immediately blew up in his face. God I just want to hug him

love how she doesn't even bother to ask if crowley has a wife or girlfriend. one look at him and it's clear there is no heterosexual explanation for anything about crowley

In 0.5 seconds and without saying a single word, Michael Sheen changed lives.
This was the bitchiest bitch moment Aziraphale had in all 2 seasons. Thank you for your service, respectfully, I am deceased.

On fan theories about ep6 ending...
Now of course I've read the coffee and lie theories and ate it up because I'm delusional. But I want to point something out that I don't think we talk about enough. Aziraphale is a big part of an organised religion that is designed to recruit and brainwash. Christianity and catholicism has always, unfortunately, been used as a weapon, and Aziraphale is victim to this.
We've seen throughout season 1 and 2 that the thing he sees in Crowley is the good part of him that sets him aside from Hell. (Deep down, just a little bit a good person) (I've always said you really are quite a nice-) (I won't be forgiven/I forgive you) as examples- he's always seen Crowley as redeemable. Meanwhile Crowley sees himself as being on neither side, Aziraphale sees himself as an angel still.
The Metatron saw how big their miracle was when they weren't even trying. So of course they present a threat to him. He's clever, he knows Crowley won't rejoin heaven, so suggesting that Aziraphale becomes archangel (useful to him, and divides him from Crowley) is the smartest move he could make. He manipulated Aziraphale, plain and simple. I don't believe Aziraphale was lying because of the way his face slowly falls while Crowley talks, and I don't believe the coffee is anything beyond symbolic. Aziraphale is a victim of a religious ideology that's been pushed on him his whole life, and unfortunately, it means he'll choose heaven over Crowley if in his head that's the moral choice, the trolley problem if you will.
