If we DO ever get a Good Omens season 3 (and fingers crossed we will) then using the Second Coming as the narrative device to facilitate the final culmination of Good Omens' ideology and message is brilliant, actually.
Because the Second Coming IS NOT another Adam situation. And, contrary to the misconceptions I've seen, It IS NOT about Jesus being born again as a baby, etc, etc.
THE SECOND COMING. QUITE LITERALLY refers to THE LAST JUDGMENT.
As in. The SAME Last Judgment Michelangelo painted on the walls of the Sistine Chapel. As in - THE JUDGMENT of the Living and the Dead. THE LAST, FINAL, ETERNAL JUDGMENT.
It's the WHOLE thing Armageddon was leading towards. Book of Revelation speedrun: the world ends, everyone dies, and then they get resurrected again to be judged by JESUS himself. He will flick through the Book of Life (WINK WINK WINK DO YOU SEE HOW LOUDLY I'M WINKING AT YOU???), and if your name is there he will go "oh nice you deserve eternal paradise! :D" and if your name is ERASED from the Book of Life he will go "oh no, sorry, you go to the lake of fire for eternity now D:" (except apparently in Good Omens lore it'd just DOOM YOU TO NON-EXISTENCE FOREVER???)
And if you THINK about it, The Last Judgment is the ultimate manifestation of moral absolutism. No shades of gray, no chances. Just BLACK, and WHITE. Never mind that you're like Wee Morag and Elspeth, who are forced to do "bad" things because of circumstances. It's either you pass Judgment Day, or you burn (or disappear forever.)
And the way THINGS are going in the Good Omens universe? I don't think there's ANYONE "good" enough to be "saved." Not Crowley, not Aziraphale. Hell, not even the Archangels themselves.
So it provides a PERFECT opportunity for Aziraphale and Crowley to UPEND that SYSTEM entirely.
I think that's what Crowley and Aziraphale would do in s3: establish a new kind of system in which angels and demons have free will to determine the right (or wrong) choice.
Giving them the APPLE, so to speak.
And then they'll go off to retire in a cottage, together at last.

It's hilarious to me that someone actually asked/JRO actually confirmed via word of god that Tarn tortured Pharma while he was at Delphi bc like. Fucking yeah??? How else do you think Pharma went from "for most of his life, he was a good doctor" to stark raving mad? What else did people think Tarn, fanatical Decepticon who leads a group of professional murderers, would do to Pharma, Autobot stationed on DJD territory, to make him comply with the deal?
I get that sometimes people just want confirmation from the author for them to go "no yeah your theories are right" but on the other hand I don't understand asking for word of god confirmation on things that are obviously canon if you just think about it for a little bit

Little known trivia: Gideon's aviators were originally Pyrrha's. She accidentally left them on the Ninth when she was helping Anastasia paint her house, and never got around to going back for them.

Monday March 20.
Some mildly interesting Shrek 2 trivia.
Because sometimes you just need a few facts to set you on your merry way, and "a few facts" don't come much more mildly fascinating than this. A few brain-teasers, if you will. Some moderately intriguing factoids to raise your brow a little, and to which your face will express really? Now that is pretty interesting, before promptly forgetting them. They are a whole lot of fun, too, and in the Fallout-style wastelands that we call contemporary culture and discourse, the source of these facts represents not just a beacon of hope, a source of comfort, but one of the few precious things that we can collectively agree on. We are talking, of course, of #shrek. Shrek 2 (2004), to be precise.
So why not add a little orge-tinged spice to your Monday with these delightful nuggets of fact nourishment straight from the depths of the swamp. But this is just a mere whetting of the collective appetite, to prepare you all for the treasures hidden within the dashboard's ever-expanding #shrek fandom community.

what about royal sciences LLC? If you go to any undertale/deltarune official ost ( the type youtube automatically makes) and go to the description it will say it will be owned by royal sciences. i found the copyright page and it has a few random names that could be anagrams.. royal sciences also sounds like ROYAL SCIENTIST
To my understanding, Toby Fox was required to register a company in order to copyright Deltarune and Undertale, so "Royal Sciences LLC" is that company.
The name is an obvious nod to the "Royal Scientist" role in Undertale, headed by both Alphys and Gaster at different points in time.
The company was created shortly after Undertale's release and has seen additions of "Robert F Fox" (Toby's legal name) as well as various other legal agents.
Interestingly enough, by taking "Nathan R Deleault" and shortening it to "N. R. Deleault", you can actually create the anagram for both Deltarune and Undertale. However, Nathan Deleault is a real lawyer, so this is probably a concidence.
Unless..?

Where do you get your facts?
A bunch of facts were dumped behind my van once, so I shoveled as many as I could into the back. They got a bit mixed up but many are still almost correct.
