Portable People

Muriel: "Can I...Can I take a book with me? I was looking at one earlier. They're like people, only portable." S2E6

Crowley's yeeting them around while stress-cleaning the bookshop, Jimbriel is trying to sell them to the investigating archangels, and Muriel just wants to read them all. Should we give a second thought to any of these books?

Er, yes. Yes, we should, I say.

In Crowley's case, both times he tosses the books aside (both in S2E3) it is adjacent to a conversation about memory.

In the first one he remarks to Jim that he doesn't remember why "they" invented gravity. He tosses the books - records of the past, records of (human) knowledge - then moves right back into the present, observing Rodney the Stunt Fly with Jim and then describing his Operation Lovebirds plan to him.

The same with the second GIF - Crowley has to make a decision between answering the phone (which is Aziraphale calling from Edinburgh) or the books. The present wins again, and he has the phone conversation with Aziraphale.

Crowley: Pffft. Humans. You don't let yourself get too attached. Aziraphale: No. No, I suppose not. Um… You haven't actually been selling any of the books, have you?

While we get the impression of Crowley not wanting to hang on to the past, as if its something that's hurt him before and he doesn't want to repeat that, on the other hand Aziraphale was having a lovely time remembering Mr Dalrymple the Scottish surgeon from 1826. This from an angel who hates getting rid of memories books, and we learn keeps a diary! Hmm.

I suppose the question is, is it a real memory problem on Crowley's side or an affected one to get around certain...awkwardness to do with his history? Such as not remembering working with Saraqael or fighting next to Furfur before the Fall?

Jimbriel, on the other hand, is more like Muriel. He is having a wonderful time discovering the delights of Humanity in the bookshop for the first time and is sooo excited to show it to the archangels when they arrive on Aziraphale's doorstep!

[btw, do you notice which side Jimbriel is standing on here? Its actually interesting to pay attention to which shoulder-side he is on in S2, because he is rarely on the left - even in S1, as well]

So while Aziraphale tries to, um, explain what humans do, Jimbriel "fans" one in Saraqael's face and then tries to (horror!) kill Rodney the Stunt fly with the Wicked Bible - the one with the printing error that says "You Shall Commit Adultery." *ahem* (not looking at you Jimbriel, oh no, not all...) Good thing it never works, Jimbriel declares, as the dust flies dramatically.

Edit: This book-banging episode is also a Monty Python reference! I found out over in my Assistant Bookseller meta that Jim's Fair Isle's style vest is a nod the Gumby characters, who all wear that style of vest and have the catchphrase "My brain hurts!" They also bang bricks together occasionally. *sigh* The things you didn't expect to find...Gabriel the Gumby...

The angels take no notice of Jim's antics. Since when do they take any notice of what goes on with humans, anyway? Oh, yes, they are going to keep a close eye on Aziraphale, but some idiotic human - nah! Don't care!

Then there's this travesty:

Aaah! The horror! Aziraphale reluctantly lets Maggie and Nina throw the books of human knowledge at the demons. But that doesn't work in the long run. Only the angel himself can solve this crisis.

HAVE AT THEE!

I’m working on a new comic for my Patreon/Gleafer (several, actually, so jump on in, the water is fiiiiine) and I’m STOKED about this era!

“A King and His Castle”

Alternate universe that initially starts canon and then swerved sharply off course into a chased-by-demons-in-a-cemetery hellscape and a laudanum fueled demon babbling confessions and curses the whole time.

Weekly updates starting end of the month!

"Well..."

The way he works his tongue while deflecting Beez' questioning makes me feel very normal and not at all rabid or feral, obviously

when I first watched Good Omens, the thing that made me realize I was going to love this story was when Aziraphale told Crowley “get thee behind me, foul fiend” and then followed it with “after you ☺️”

sometimes when you're writing you'll get a little voice going "are you sure this is any good?" and that is the fucking DEVIL speaking. Who cares if it's good.

I don't know whether last anon was @ivankaramazov07 but you seemed to imply that they are the only person to fawn over your blog and this, dear, will simply not do.

So, let me reiterate that your blog is indeed the most exquisitest and aesthetic in recent memory and you should definitely keep up the good work and also you are so, so great and adorable and you better believe and remember this OR ELSE.

(see if you can guess who that was, motherfucker)

Well there is no need for that kind of language!

Btw me rn

AND my two braincells rn:

@a-singing-lunatic @cowboy-like-me-23???? who is this. For real guys this isn't funny.

#reveal yourself foul fiend #I admire your dedication to me beloved anon but this is becoming unreasonable

i have realised this episode, which i am still watching. that i really hate the west ham scenes. like i'm rooting for nate but goddamn rupert is discomforting

@trent-crimm and I are still rooting for Jade to beat him to death with a stack of Taste of Athens. maybe standing back to let Bex get a few good whacks in. Nate, Disco and Roger are cheerleading from the sidelines.

so what I'm saying is, I get that. I personally enjoy the rest of the WH weirdos (rooting for Roger to have a redemption arc and read some better dating advice books) but first Rupert needs to be purged from Rush Green like a malevolent spirit.

...maybe Lindsay Higgins could perform an exorcism? food for thought.

My foul fiend

Don't you think that "Get thee behind me, foul fiend!" followed by "After you" it's the perfect summary of Good Omens?

They had been quite contently sat with Crowley, reading a little book about an angel and a demon when it happened. The breath, hot on his neck -- and then those lips. It sends sparks through the angel's entire being, sends colour rushing to their cheeks. A surprised, but not displeased yelp fills the air and the book falls into Aziraphale's lap.

Blue-green eyes snap shut for a second as they assess the situation -- contemplate what it means. Their thoughts are fuzzy, though, and he can't process it more than the fact he likes it.

"I, ah- Crowley, what are... " s breath; an unconscious tip of his head. "--are you trying to tempt me?"

he thinks he's funny. //@vocesincaput ♥

#azirapuddle #NEPTUNE | AZIRAPHALE #vocesincaput #Zira: do it again right now you foul fiend.
