Since it's unlikely we'll be getting season 2 pop vinyls, I took matters into my own hands. The Grand Duke of Hell, Lord of the Flies, and actual little ray of sunshine, Beelzebub.
While not entirely accurate (straight coat instead of morning coat, no fishnet waistcoat) I'm still so pleased with how this came out!
Some wips and info, in case anyone wants to replicate!
Base: Head - Poet Anderson, Body - Ravona Renslayer. Flies for the hat were ordered from Walmart in a pack of 50 (yes I fully intend to glue/sew/yeet the unused flies on future projects).
Now if anyone could source me a "naked man with box" pop vinyl that'd be most helpful 🤣🤣🤣

An Asexual's love letter to Good Omens 2
There's an infamous quote by Neil Gaiman going around, regarding the general vibe of season 2, and many people (I believe humorously) yelling that it could not be further from the truth. Particularly in the last episode, where that happens.
I disagree.
The final episode of season 2 was deeply, deeply comforting to me.
I am asexual. Have been my whole life. Even before I had the words to describe what that was, child-me had this feeling in their gut of being an outlier, that everyone was exaggerating, or in on some joke, that I wasn’t privy to. Because I was bombarded on all sides by shows and movies and books, telling the same story of love, again, and again, and AGAIN. It’s drilled into our brains with the same fervor as the days of the week, or the quadratic formula. Meet-cute -> misunderstanding ->declaration of feelings ->kiss. More or less steps can be added to account for runtime or complexity of narrative, but that’s the basic structure that a relationship follows. It MUST be, because that’s the formula every character who's ever been in a story goes through, often times when it even feels like an add-on, like it’s only there because this is a story, there HAS to be a romance. And it has to follow the steps.
For a long time, I felt love wasn’t for me, because if there’s only one way to be in love, I sure as hell wasn’t feeling it.
Instead, the relationship I ended up in looked a lot like what Beezlebub and Gabriel go through. Meeting someone routinely until it starts to feel comfortable. Getting to know them and slowly growing more attached. Eating chips and listening to music.
We like to joke whenever someone asks us how long we’ve been together, because the answer is we just sort of slowly fell into it, and we honestly don’t know when the line got blurred between ‘friends’ and ‘partners’. And, at least for me, a good deal of that confusion, that hesitancy to label, came from the fact that what I was feeling, what we were, couldn’t be love. It couldn’t be romantic.
We were just quiet and gentle.
And that wasn’t love.
Because it was slow, because it wasn’t physical, because there was no structure aside from consistency and companionship. Because it didn’t follow the Rules.
Then I found myself in stories, and it felt like a revelation.
Beelzebub and Gabriel aren’t the first time I’ve seen a love like I feel represented in a narrative, but it never stops feeling special. And I don’t know if I’ll ever stop celebrating it.
Throughout the sequence in the pub, I kept expecting them to “confirm” Gabriel and Beelzebub. A dramatic line, a kiss, a whatever. That’s what I’ve been taught to expect, after all, that’s the only way a relationship is “real”. Of course, this doesn't mean Crowley and Aziraphale sharing a dramatic kiss is wrong, or that I can’t see why it resonated with so many people, but for me. Those moments in the pub are worth so much more.The last scene might have been literally showstopping, but those handful of moments between the duke of hell and an archangel were the beating heart of the season for me. A simple love story in four scenes. No kisses. No ‘I love you’s. Not even any definition of what. The love Gabriel and Beelzebub have is strong enough for them to both want to shatter their worlds and flee their lives and it's just.
It's just that.
Two people in a pub, playing the other's favorite song, giving a little gift, buying a packet of crisps.
That sequence means far more to me than any kiss ever could.
Love isn’t only real when it's hot and sudden and ephemeral, it can also be
Quiet.
And gentle.
And still romantic.
Still real.

Good Omens S1: Here’s a straight relationship, they’re kinda cute, and here’s an older straight relationship, like an enemies to lovers, and I guess if you read into it you could say Crowley likes Aziraphale but it’s really just speculation. Pollution is non-binary though!
Good Omens S2: HERE’S SOME LESBIANS IT IS CRUCIAL THAT THEY KISS HERE’S THIS GUY’S GENDERQUEER SPOUSE BEELZEBUB AND THE ARCHANGEL GABRIEL ARE FUCKING IN LOVE BEELZEBUB IS NON-BINARY CROWLEY IS NON-BINARY FUCKING GOD IS NON-BINARY OH AND HERE’S SOME CANON INEFFABLE HUSBANDS FOR YOU-
