Pt I good omens but i've never watched it
i've never seen good omens but it's all over my tumblr dash so this is what I've gathered can someone please confirm if i've got it right
there's a demon named crowley
there's a biblically inaccurate angel named aziraphale but like it's very sexy when the demon calls him 'angel'
the demon and angel have been married for 6000 years and they still keep looking at each other all sappily
Neil Gaiman is somehow involved, I think he's the writer but also he's on tumblr (uh, @neil-gaiman) and people keep questioning if he's real
is neil gaiman like a fandom inside joke why is everyone asking if he's real
there actors are called michael and david and amazon prime thought they were the same
there is a bookstore and crowley is sad
they kiss and it is very nice and desperate and crowley says we could have been us. i have no context for this. someone is going to heaven i think.
there is a god, i'm not sure if they're good or evil though
the demon wears sunglasses
it's a comedy but for some reason everyone's crying after whatever the last season was, are you guys okay
things are on fire
they are very gay
there was a book and at one point they switch bodies
more fire and crowley screaming
they are called ineffable husbands i dont know what that means
they fight crime or they do crime or they fight crime by doing crime i really cannot remember which
gay

I want to see Crowley be a wreck about Aziraphale in season 3, not because “you tried to change me” or “you don’t love me” but because “You went back to something toxic that can very possibly break you, and I can’t stop you.”
Heaven gave Crowley his worst traumas. In some ways, Heaven broke him. He’s not the same innocent Angel he used to be, he’s not naive anymore. Aziraphale used to be very naive, but Crowley watched Aziraphale grow and change and make his own moral code as he learned more about the world (in large part due to Crowley’s influence, but I don’t think Crowley even notices that.) He has watched Aziraphale evolve into this beautiful person he falls more and more in love with each day. They’ve grown and changed together.
And instead of getting to be together, Aziraphale is diving headfirst back into Heaven’s toxicity. This Angel Crowley knows and loves is putting himself in a position where other angels will be snide/casually cruel, scrapping away at his confidence. She will have a close eye on him, where She can make him fall and experience the worst pain Crowley ever endured. She can literally give Aziraphale Crowley’s trauma, and there is nothing Crowley can do to stop it. The divorce, the kiss… Crowley loves saving Aziraphale, but the one thing he can’t save Aziraphale from is himself.

I'm obsessed that Crowley says "us". "We could have been...us"
He's not saying "we could have been together" because they have been for millennia. He's not saying "we could have been in love" because they both know they already are. He's not saying saying "we could have been happy" because - firstly, Crowley is realistic and doesn't believe in happily ever afters - right now, he doesn't know if they could be; not when he believes Aziraphale, the man he's finally admitting is the love of his life, is abandoning him after everything they've been through
He says "us". "We could have been US" because he knows they are already everything they need to be; they're already perfect. They're already together, they're already in love, and they have been happy for centuries. He isn't asking for them to change their relationship, he's asking for everything to stay the same.....except that they FINALLY be honest with one another.
He says "us" because it implies an established relationship, one he doesn't want to lose. One he thinks he's about to. I don't think he would have used that word if Aziraphale hadn't just announced he was leaving, he would have said all those other things they already are; this is his plea, his desperate begging for his love to reconsider.
"You idiot! We could have been... us!" He's not stumbling over his words, he didn't hesitate because he didn't know what to say.
He's begging

Pt III good omens but i STILL SOMEHOW haven't watched it (and i'm increasingly passive aggressive)
i'm now basically held hostage adopted as mascot by this fandom. it's fine i'm fine *SIGNALS FOR HELP DESPERATELY*
Alright fuckers I swear this time I'm going to get some shit right. Without further ado, here's my third attempt at a good omens summary:
Everything everywhere is queer all at once
Angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley on earth likey each other
The car is a bentley and it is BLACK not silver and everyone is very upset about this. my bad yall it was reflecting light therefore i guessed more silver than black but I'm not Anish Kapoor take your black.
Then it is yellow, and aziraphale likes it. crowley preferred the black because he's a flamboyant emo.
God is a deadbeat absentee parent and you are all children of divorce.
There's a naked archangel and they cause problems for the husbands somehow. By being naked? By being an archangel? By being at their doorstep? Who knows not me
They were actually married for 6000 years, they just are the last to know about it.
Crowley is on fire. Like, he's slaying for sure, but also he is literally on fire, like Aziraphale's bookstore.
The actors like I said before are Michael Sheen and David Tennant but this is the place where I finally admit that I don't actually know who is whom. I'm going to assume Michael is Aziraphale because Michael sounds angel-y and David is Crowley because uh Michaelangelo made David and was gay for him.
Terry Pratchett is not fictional.
He co-wrote the book with @neil-gaiman, who IS fictional, because he does not have social media. Several of you have assured me that he is in fact a fandom inside joke. I like to think he would be proud of me.
They adopt a preteen and Crowley gives him bad advice.
At some point a baby was delivered to someone and was exchanged for the son of Satan. Idk if the baby is the preteen, or the son of satan is the preteen, or neither. This could be a fanfic, I have no way of differentiating the fanfic from canon on tumblr, except that the canon is weirder.
Crowley does not go down a chute. He goes down a telephone cord after making himself microscopic to pole dance on a pin with shroom-induced backgrounds.
During this his stage name is Disco Tony. Get it king go slay you're making better life choices than I am tbh.
Aziraphale is a biblically accurate angel, and you have all gone to extensive lengths to prove this to me. I understood nothing, but there you go.
It's all very queer, just like the fandom.
Crowley is a retired demon but he still sins by breaking the speed limit.
They eat at fancy restaurants and bicker but like in a sexual undercurrent way.
Crowley gives Aziraphale a private dance that is not a lap dance, it is an apology dance, but not in a kinky way, until it is.
Their haircuts keep changing and range from 'this is acceptable and gay' to 'i let a drunk chimpanzee take gardening shears and a blowtorch to my hair'
It's all ineffably queer my good fellows
Everyone keeps trying to convince me Neil Gaiman is the villain yeah no guys I know it's really you. Y'all be like 'SEASON TWO BROKE ME' and then you're making headcanons to make it sadder yeah I see you mmhm.
There is a final fifteen. It is sad. What is it? No one told me.
The demon turns goats into crows and the angel turns them back and then children are turned into newts (does the angel turn them back? who cares not yall) and the demon was the snake in the Eden garden and everyone's furry game seems to be on point.
There are a rather lot of children. I have not seen them. But I am assured they are there. They are, guys. I assume they were turned into the alcohol Aziraphale and Crowley drink or something.
There was an apocalypse plotline. It was averted. It is not important. You don't talk about plotlines in this fandom, no sir.
Crowley doesn't want to go to heaven. Aziraphale is sad.
The kiss is not nice, just like this fandom. It is queer, just like this fandom. It is sad and desperate and masochistic, just like this fandom.
Aziraphale doesn't want to stay back with Crowley. Crowley is sad.
Season 2 ends. Fandom is sad.
Everyone's sanity is hinging on the promise of a happy ending in season 3. Good luck guys.
Y'all better appreciate this. I can't even boast to my mother about this legacy of mine, hey mum your son has been held hostage kidnapped inducted into a cult adopted by a fandom he's not part of look he's winning at life.

Has everyone heard this song yet? It’s a ‘must listen’ for every single Good Omens fan.
The artist wrote this about The Last 15.
Get the tissues ready as you’ll need something to wipe those tears away 🥺😢😭🤧
Stunning song:

I don't think Aziraphale fell in love with angel!Crowley In The Beginning. I think he might have had a little crush, definitely. But love is what came afterwards, solidly developing over millennia of trusting each other, relying on each other and choosing each other.
Aziraphale falls in love with the kind, inquisitive, generous, grumpy, silly, challenging, occasionally ridiculous, optimistic demon, not with the sweet, naive, excitable angel. But ineffable divorce happens and Crowley is left thinking that Aziraphale would prefer him to be that angel again 💔

Look At Me
(a Crowley pov poem)
i'm still learning to seem human
it doesn't come naturally
i'm still not used to living in this skin
i've tried to crawl out of it
but gravity pulls me back in each time
i'm trapped within these bones
my ribcage, my prison
my eyes, a scream, a plea to be seen
look at me
i'm still here
against all odds, against all reason
i'm still here so
look at me
i can't escape, so ensnare me in your arms and please don't let go
look at me
i haven't faded away yet
i'm trapped in this vessel, raw and real
and physical so
look at me
run your hands across my skin
make a dent, leave your teethmarks
scratch my back, bruise my neck
fill me so deep with your essence
that i forget i've ever felt empty
look at me
make me real
make me feel
make me known
claim this part of me as your own
open my chest, crack my ribs
and free me from this prison
i bleed, therefore i am
i break, but you fill my cracks with gold
and i am shaped anew in your gaze, so
look at me
look at me
look at me
make me known
-
i wrote this poem a few weeks ago, partly inspired by this fic by @feiandart and partly (greatly) by my shitshow of a life, and i hadn't meant to post it, but then my friend showed me this Azi pov poem by @crowleys-bentley-and-plants and she was like "hey this sounds like it could be a reply from Azi to your poem isn't that neat" and i was like well now i have to post it so here you go take my suffering
(originally posted in my poetry blog)
