wait but can we talk about how jarring it is to read official news releases ab this show after marinating for months in the good omens fandom on tumblr?? like, i'll read a piece from an actual news site that goes something like,,,
"Good Omens explores the dynamic between two unlikely friends--one angelic, one demonic--as they navigate their lives on Earth in the aftermath of a failed attempt to enact Armageddon. Throughout the course of the second season's six-episode run, Crowley (as played by Dr. Who's David Tennant) and Aziraphale (played by the delightful Michael Sheen of Prodigal Son) must face down power-hungry demons, unexpected visitors, and new job prospects, all while playing matchmaker for a couple of shopkeepers in the area. In the wake of an overwhelmingly positive reception from fans, there's discussion of an upcoming season 3."
and it's like,,, I-- WHAT??? is this how non-brainrotted individuals approach the story? did we even watch the same show???
cause meanwhile, for the past three months, we've all collectively been like,,,
we really truly are living in the eye of the hyperfixation hurricane, huh?
everyone remembers the original promo photo for good omens s2, right?
this one ^ in case you don’t.
anyway i just felt like pointing out that they are,,,,, sheltered under something,,, together,,,, during a rainstorm,,,,,,, neil has been dropping clues from day 1 bro he knew what he was doing
been thinking about the theory/implication of Crowley's memory having been wiped after the Fall, and I have two main thoughts:
First: He still remembers having created Alpha Centauri. Is that evidence against the theory, or, perhaps, was that detail so important, so beloved to him that it couldn't be taken from him? Are his memories of the stars the one thing he was able to cling to as he lost everything else? Is that backdrop of space the room in which he is looking for the missing furniture in? :((( God that aches me
Secondly: Heaven wiped his memory when he was cast out from it. What's to say they wouldn't do the same if he was readmitted — wiping out the sin from the sinner? What if that is at stake here.
And, if he never returns to Heaven, and instead Aziraphale rejects his position as Archangel to return to Crowley, what's to stop them from wiping Aziraphale too?
I know we’re all collectively losing it in here over s2, but I can not FOR THE LIFE OF ME stop thinking about this fucking scene from the first season. Like the way he sees Aziraphale, slams on the brakes, parks the Bentley sideways, and then practically throws himself out the door and into the street—He’s just so brutally and unwaveringly desperate and vulnerable and terrified and AUGHHHH
The sheer, unfettered anguish and 6000 years of unspoken longing have me like,,,
David’s performance in this scene makes me want to eat drywall oh my god
