The snake statue in the Tadfield Manor
“Through the main doors, I wanted to place something inside that the camera cannot ignore but has to explore. Now, there is a famous statue of a snake being killed by a Herculean character,” Michael continues with a hint of glee. “I wanted one like it but the other way round, so ours depicts the Herculean character being killed by the snake. Then we had this idea that whenever you look away you hear it move, and when you look back there’s a little bit of sandstone on the floor where the snake has slightly shifted.” 🐍
- Michael Ralph, The Good Omens Production Designer, The Good Omens Companion
The statue itself is based on the statue Laocoön and His Sons :).
Also, it can be seen in the courtyard in episode 2 :).

I am not good with names but yippee here are the twins!! They are... Sun Wukong's... creations.. but not really so they're Xiaotian's Cousins or Brothers. No one is truly sure. Still fun tho!
More on them here!!
And no Macaque is not their father or mother or anything, they absolutely despise him
Also also: yes QXT's makings are new but they are to show off very weird and subtle snake motifs.

shout out to my siblings for being tolkien-nerds because they make it possible for me, a dwj-nerd, to photobomb their lego rivendell set <3
context of dwj's history with tolkien:
"Tolkien was a different matter. He was just a kind of eminence grise and a legend. You couldn’t hear him lecture. He worked at not letting you hear, because he wanted to go away and finish writing The Lord of the Rings. So he had the very smallest lecture room. First of all it was packed out, so he spoke with his back to the audience and mumbling. Unfortunately he was talking about - meditating on, really - what a plot is like and how it mutates into other plots, and this I found so fascinating that I went back the next week as did one other person. And this meant that he couldn’t stop lecturing and still get the money, which apparently in those days you could if no one turned up - it was a dreadful racket, really. He could have given just the one lecture and then been paid for a term if we’d all stayed away."
(Quoted from “Interview with Diana Wynne Jones, 22 March 2001, conducted by Charles Butler.” Page 170 in Diana Wynne Jones: An Exciting and Exacting Wisdom, by Teya Rosenberg et al. Peter Lang Publishing, 2002.)

I feel like people aren't getting it. In. The. Books. Perseus. Jackson. Is. An. Unreliable. Narrator. This goes for everything he thinks. Percy loves his mother, so he writes her praises. In the show we get to see what Sally does from an outside POV not filtered through a child that idolizes his mother. It's not ooc for Sally to act like she does in the show. she's a single mother raising a neurodivergent, Demigod, and she's scared that when the Gods get to him they'll corrupt him. She's not suddenly a girl boss we're getting to see her for how she is.
