The way they whitewashed my boy Peter is utterly hilarious
Hitler would be so jealous of a Jewish man with white snow skin, hay hair, and eyes like sky, he would shoot himself a second time

Honestly, judging by the leaked episodes, Vox is obsessed with Alastor and his whole life purpose is rivalry with him, while aroace Alastor just finds bullying arrogant men mildly entertaining

hi fellow good omens fans
it’s 3 am and my delirious mind came up with a very strange and specific theory about Metatron, here we goooo
(check end of the post for TL;DR)
okay so there are two things that REALLY got my attention in s2
1. Metatron is the only angel who doesn’t dress in white/light colours and tones
literally everyone else wears smth light?? like from Muriel and Aziraphale to the Archangels gang™. Even Crowley changes his clothes to lighter ones when his in Heaven:
Tumblr media
And then there is this pal:
Tumblr media
Is this why he always shows up as Floating Head in Heaven’s Facetime?
2. When Metatron gives Aziraphale coffee he says “I’ve ingested things in my time you know”
As we understand from season 1 and 2 Mr Gaiman really likes the book of Enoch. At least he borrows characters from this apocrypha, e.g. Baraqiel (either Archangel or one of 200 fallen Watchers, mentioned in Furfur’s book), Uriel and Saraquel (u know who they are). Regarding Baraqiel and Watchers, I have another long note which I will write in another post, so we have to leave it for now
Here, we are getting to the interesting part. In the Third Book of Enoch, Enoch, who is very pious and rather liked by God, ascends to Heaven and God transforms him into an angel. God gives him a new name which is - you guessed it - Metatron
My theory is basically that Metatron extremely stands out from other angels, he doesn’t dress in light colours, he is old (no ageism here, but I bet his the oldest-looking angel in all of Heaven), he is NOT disgusted by eating/drinking things (remember faces of Gabriel and Muriel when they see Aziraphale eating/drinking smth? Metatron just plays it as if it’s absolutely normal for angelic entities to act like people). Also, Metatron clearly dislikes Crowley but I will talk about this in some other post perhaps
So, Metatron could have been a human before..?
TL;DR: I think Metatron was a human before, who ascended to Heaven and was transformed into an angel(?) by God. Maybe he is the prophet Enoch from the Book of Enoch. Maybe he is not. Now go check the whole post for more details

This account is mostly random shitposting, so I strongly suggest checking out my main account. Tbh it’s also shitposting but more regular and it’s about history. Don’t you like history?
Well, none of my friends wanted to listen my endless gibberish about High Middle Ages, so my bro advised me to create a tumblr blog.
So, yeah, now you will have to listen to my stupid historical jokes. Good luck.
What will be here?
Well, mainly:
• European history in general
• European Middle Ages (history, culture and other stuff)
And if you want a more precise list:
• Hohenstaufen family
• Especially about Friedrich II
• France vs England because it’s classic
• Kingdom of Bohemia and HRE in general
• Charles IV (Charles of Luxembourg) because he’s gorgeous
• “The Divine Comedy” by Dante Alighieri
• Medici family
• Niccolo Machiavelli because he is gorgeous as well
• Lot’s of random stuff about Medieval Italy
• And be prepared for lot’s of silly jokes on these topics
