Where did Atalanta even liking kids come from? Iirc in mythology she was mainly just a traditional hunter with a bit of a sadistic streak (liked seeing suitors die), I forget if she even had any children after being married
It's not so much that she likes kids, it's that she has trauma from being abandoned as a child and being raised by a bear, that she never wants any other children to suffer that same sense of abandonment.

Heads up, I'm opening shop soon! I got a few pieces of everything so my stock will be pretty limited. If there is enough interest, I might open preorders on anything that runs out.

Not really a complaint per se but if Atalanta's cat ears and tail are a reference to how she was turned into a lioness (for temple crimes) then why is she shown in the flashback to still have the cat ears? Was she just always a cat girl for no explicable reason and Athena just decided "You know what? We're gonna take this a step further," when punishing her for having sex in the temple? The cat ears aren't a bad choice they just add some funny implications to her myth.
90% sure they just worked backwards from catgirl, which isn't necessarily a negative thing and Atalanta is herself proof of that bc she's funny as fuck in these interludes.

Good Omens season 2 referencing Powell & Pressburger films
Crowley's angel hair is modeled after Kim Hunter's hair as June in A Matter of Life and Death (1946).
Maggie's shop is called The Small Back Room in reference to 1949's The Small Back Room.
The red ballet shoes on the door of Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death are a nod to The Red Shoes (1948).
(Note : the klaxons sounding in Heaven at the end of episode 1 are said to be a nod to the alarm bells in The Other World in A Matter of Life and Death. Personally, I don't think they sound at all alike; they are only similar in both being alarms. Plus, it's an audio reference, which I don't have the skill or patience to include here. But it's there!)
In The Small Back Room, Maggie has a poster for the film Stairway to Heaven displayed. A Matter of Life and Death was released under this title in the US.
The tartan hills welcoming Aziraphale to Scotland are a reference to the tartan hills welcoming Joan to Scotland in I Know Where I'm Going! (1945). And of course, the third episode is itself titled "I Know Where I'm Going."
Jim drops the book My Best Games of Chess, 1924-1937, by Alexander Alekhine, onto a table in the bookshop repeatedly as he is discovering how gravity works. This book is featured prominently in A Matter of Life and Death.
When Aziraphale enters The Resurrectionist pub in Edinburgh, I Know Where I'm Going! is playing on both televisions (I'm pretty sure I found the right scene to match this screenshot). You can also make out the name 'Pressburger' on one of the posters in this screenshot, but we'll get to that later. . .
The family name on the mausoleum where Aziraphale and Crowley hide out with Elspeth and Wee Morag is Archers. It's never clearly seen in the show, but it can be seen in this BTS photo of the model used for Crowley's embiggening. The Archers was the name of Powell and Pressburger's production company. The interior of the tomb and the urns outside the full-size set also reference the Archers, and Powell & Pressburger individually.
In Mr. Arnold's record shop, one of the posters on the wall is for a UK music tour; either the band or the tour is titled Met By Moonlight. This is referencing Ill Met By Moonlight (1957), the final film Powell & Pressburger made together. (I personally think this one is a reach, as the title of the film is a line from A Midsummer Night's Dream and thus not really clockable to the outside viewer as a direct Archers reference, but apparently the intent was there so we're counting it!)
The Pressburger posters are more clearly visible during the Gabriel and Beelzebub rendezvous scene in The Resurrectionists pub. We can see they advertise 'Pressburger Scottish Lager,' which is of course a nod to Emeric Pressburger himself. (Unclear if Michael Powell has his own label that we just don't get a clear view of. . .)
-- -- -- -- --
I clocked a couple of these myself, but they are all referenced in the X-Ray trivia on the Prime Video player. Would love to know if anyone has clocked anymore that aren't divulged. . .

To the people going “OMG why does Atalante hate Jeanne even after the events of Apocrypha?” well see, Amakusa himself says “My wish is just an extention of yours,”
Atalante wished for all children to be loved and “saved,” and no matter how merciful Jeanne’s exorcism of the unborn souls was, she was still ultimately killing them, which she even acknowledges herself. She prevented the souls making up Jack the Ripper to be “saved,” and further fought to ensure Amakusa’s wish for the salvation of mankind would never come to pass.
Atalante was promised her wish by Amakusa and firmly believed in it, and Jeanne denied her of her own wish as much as Amakusa’s. So yes, that’s why Atalante still hates Jeanne, even when she knows her wish is unreasonable and impossible. Because she came close to fulfilling that wish and Jeanne (in her mind) ripped it away, denying those children the chance to be saved through the Holy Grail.
