It just occurred to me that the Book of Life is basically just an angelic Death Note.

I can’t believe that since finding out Aziraphale was a cherub I haven’t seen a single piece about Crowley joking about “extreme sanctions” to scare him

Crowley is willing to risk never having existed for Aziraphale, but he draws the line at compromising who he is and what he knows to be true about himself. I feel sick 😭😭😭

New Chapter!
Chapter 9/22 of "Love is an Action Verb" is up!
Want a sample of chapter 10?
Uriel got right up into Crowley’s space. They were considerably shorter than the demon, but Crowley couldn’t rise from his knees as power crackled off of the Archangel’s form. Crowley looked waifish and worn out next to Uriel’s holy fire and energy. “You left us,” they seethed. “And you dare return now, leading souls astray even unto Heaven’s gate?”
“Oh, I just left, that’s right – went for a wee stroll down into Hell to align myself with the wicked and unjust…”
“You helped us set the stars in their dance! You – you were one of us, you served in my division! And you betrayed me, and us, and everything we were trying to build…just because you thought you had a better idea!”
“Still say it was a better idea,” Crowley said, maintaining his composure in the face of Uriel’s wrath. “You and your ridiculous ‘pre-aged’ stars. Absolutely idiotic. Why make any of it in the first place? Why did you even care? You were already planning to destroy it a paltry few thousand years later!”
“The Almighty’s Great Plan was more important than our creativity, Fallen One!”
Crowley shouted, losing his cool, “But that’s not creation! That’s just fucking…playing with blocks!”
Uriel struck him across the face. His glasses went flying.
“Oi!” shouted Lock, “Leave him alone!”
“Who can build something like we did,” Crowley said, voice tired, “Something like you designed, like I designed, and plan its destruction even as you’re putting on the finishing touches?” Uriel stood still, silent, hatred tightening their face. “You didn’t even tell us, your team, what the plan was for their destruction. I had to learn it from a passing cherub, for fuck’s sake.”
Uriel turned from him, striding across the empty room where a white desk appeared. On the desk was a book. “Michael wanted to use this, you know. On you and on that traitor Aziraphale. The Metatron dissuaded the idea.”
Uriel opened The Book of Life. “The Metatron, however, is indisposed at the moment. Thus, I must administer punishment as I see fit.”
In the holding triangle, Greaz had gone pale.
Crowley leaned his head back, his eyes hooded. “Extreme sanctions,” he said tonelessly.
Uriel held a writing implement in their hand, glowing gold at one end, silver at the other. They stalked over to Crowley, looking down at him. “You bare your throat to me like a beast. That is what you are, Fallen One. It was your selfish, unending questions that earned you your first demotion. Your questions that infected the thoughts of the Morningstar. Your questions that set off the avalanche of his mutiny.” Uriel held the holy pencil up to Crowley’s neck, touching its sharp golden point to his Adam’s apple. “You corrupted the Garden and set humanity’s feet on the pathways of pain. You corrupted Aziraphale and incited his treachery. You’re the reason the world didn’t end according to God’s Great Plan, and you’re the reason the Supreme Archangel Gabriel is now cavorting across the universe with the Lord of Flies! You are poison, your existence is envenomed, and when I erase you from Creation then everything, everything will be as it was meant to be.” Uriel’s voice had gone unearthly, slightly mad, at the same time both passionate and dreamy.
“No!” Lock called, starting from the triangle. Adam held him back.

So, uh. I got to do a thing last weekend.
Yes, that's the set in Bathgate. I was one of 75 people who won a contest to go visit. We had an amazing afternoon getting shown around. The level of detail was beyond even my wildest dreams. We had drinks inside Give Me Coffee Or Give Me Death and got to sit inside the Dirty Donkey pub to be shown episode 2.1. I very very much want to babble about all of it but have been threatened with Extreme Sanctions and am restraining myself until after Friday at least.
...but after that I am going to babble so much about that record shop in particular because it's FANTASTIC. Not even in spoilery ways, just in "Ohhhh they had so much fun making this and I love it" ways.
The Amazon Prime and Good Omens crew who were there that day were absolutely amazing, they took incredible care of us and had so much enthusiasm for the show. We met up with the set designer Michael (edit: had his last name wrong) (in the bookshop! I've been in the bookshop!!!), costume designer Kate Carin, lead decorator Bronwyn Franklin, the head of the graphics design whose name I can't remember for certain which kills me because talking to them was the highlight of the day and I want to sing their praises (Edit: Mickey!), and several of the producers, as well as numerous unnamed generally helpful awesome people who were there to keep us from licking the books (sigh). If any of them spot this from @goodomensonprime: thank you!!
And yes, for those of you who've been following stories of my 8yo the comic-drawing fellow GO addict, she's never going to forgive me for doing this without her. Sorry, sweetheart, but it was 18+. (I'm getting her one of the t-shirts to make up for it)

What's gone underreported since the October 7th terrorist attack which started the Israel-Hamas war is that extremist Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have increasingly been attacking Palestinian residents there.
The US is now taking action against violent settlers.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said in a Sunday interview he was “pleased” to see President Biden announce he would take measures to more forcefully combat settler violence in the West Bank, specifically noting his suggestion for a restriction on travel visas. “I was pleased to hear the president say what he said, and I fully support the president’s plan to restrict visas from people who have a record of violence against innocent people,” Van Hollen said in an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.” “I think that’s an important first step,” he added. Van Hollen’s remarks come as many Democrats have increased calls for the White House to focus more on the loss of life among innocent Palestinians as the war continues in the region.
This settler violence is not new. But settlers are taking advantage of the distraction in Gaza to ramp up their savagery.
“Extreme settler violence against Palestinians has been an issue for a very long time. We’ve seen a huge spike in extremist settler violence since the Gaza war started, as people have been focused on the war there,” Van Hollen said.
As of Thursday, over 120 West Bank Palestinians have been killed in settler-instigated violence since October 7th.
The West Bank Israeli settlers have been the biggest impediment to Israel-Palestine peace for decades. They are mostly religious fanatics and ethno-nationalists who believe Israel should have the same boundaries it had 3,000 years ago. Though there is also a segment of opportunistic settlers who are there because far-right Israeli governments had promised them cheap housing and land in the occupied territories.
The far right in Israel as exemplified by Bibi Netanyahu and the Hamas Islamic extremists had been strange allies – until October 7th. Both oppose a two-state solution and implicitly favor their own versions of the "from the river to the sea" implied genocide.
I hope the decades-late sanctions against extremist Israeli settlers by the US will send a clear signal that encroachments on Palestinian land will not be tolerated.
As for those who claim that Israel has a Biblical right to the West Bank and Gaza: Get a life! There's nothing like religious fanaticism to inflame a conflict. Hamas is not the only group of fanatics motivated by religious radicalism in the region.
The US has recognized the right of Israel to exist since its inception. I support that. But using the Bible as a blueprint for 21st century geopolitics is no more legit than using it as a science textbook.

i am once again asking-- actually no longer asking. i am demanding y’all to stop drawing basira as a hijabi with zero fucking thought lmao
why are you making the violent white supremacist cop who is directly responsible for at least dozens of deaths muslim. especially why are you making her the only muslim on your tma lineup. y’all do not have any thoughts in ur head do you?
none of you are actually depicting a muslim character. ur just slapping on a hijab and thinking ur done lmao.
why do you depict her as a hijabi and then draw her drinking alcohol? why do you depict her with a hijab and then draw her wearing clothing that doesn’t follow hijab? obviously every muslim dresses differently and engages with their religion differently but this is so often clearly drawn by non swana/non muslim ppl who are giving zero thought to anything about her.
and even if you were putting any thought into her religion beyond “uwu diversity points let’s slap a headscarf on the cop” it would STILL be extremely shitty for y’all to make the violent white supremacist killer cop who regularly enabled, excused, and justified police brutality for years into ur only muslim character
swana ppl and our religions don’t exist for your brownie points<3<3 white ppl learn to be normal about cop characters challenge

so what they’re saying is that *aziraphale* is the one who knew maggie’s great grandmother lol
WAIT all those theories about crowley ringing the bell and then saying “i’m back” being two different scenes because of his position in the room when he was actually just being dramatic and took 20 steps away
A PROPER APOLOGY WITH THE LITTLE DANCE WHAT DO YOU MEAN
apology in 1941? HMM????

aziraphale and crowley will dance in season two! the actual dance: 🧚🏻‍♂️💃🏻
I want to see every single wrong take of this scene every single blooper
oohhh so that’s why muriel won’t recognize him that’s smart i should’ve considered it
no rapunzel you have to stay here fathers know best ‼️
HEAVEN DEFINITELY DIDN’T NOTICE A THING 👍🏻
I was about to say that even though episodes are shorter than season one you don’t actually notice the difference but maybe I just paused it too many times and it became half an hour longer
tagging @neil-gaiman since he said he was interested in reading live reactions

I need the opening sequence of season 3 of Good Omens to be The Show Must Go On by Queen. (This idea I hereby give freely to anyone who has the power to make it a reality)
Like its just Aziraphale and Crowley going through it while showing us what they’ve been up to…
