Welsh seduction machine!
imagine how bizarre this fandom looks to the outside world. we're all gay asf and screaming about two middle aged men and making the most random references. we send neil the most unhinged asks and get equally unhinged replies. try looking at the tags "archangel fucking gabriel", "bildaddy the shuite", "welsh seduction machine" and assorted years like 1941 and 1827 or whatever else without context.

Well, Furfur was breaking the rules. I mean, you can’t just let any old member of the public in on such trade secrets!
The affronted tone with which Aziraphale asks where Furfur got the bullet catch booklet, because it's only available to Working Professional Magicians, is so funny. His worst fears have just been realized, a demon has shown up to arrest his husband, but he can still take a moment to be offended on behalf of his fake profession that important trade secrets have fallen into the wrong hands.

HE’S LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN
Neil,
Not that you would want to, but I was just curious. When the GO series is complete, would you be allowed to engage with fancontent without fear of legal recourse or reprisal?
I guess. But that would also mean I could never again go back to Good Omens. So although things like Coraline are complete, I still don't read the fan fiction.

Ok. It’s 4 in the morning and this made me cry. It’s time for bed.
Also, my favorite scene is the smitten scene. 💗
What’s your favourite line from good omens?
The invisible and unbreakable one that joins Crowley and Aziraphale.

When you and Sir Terry were collaborating on GO did you ever disagree on some plot point or other aspect of the project, and if so, how would you go about ironing it out?
Not that I remember.

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

How does it feel to be really old
63 doesn't feel Really Old. Just old. I'm hoping to be able to tell you how it feels to be Really Old in about 30 or 40 years, though.

Hi Neil!
I just finished watching Dead Boy Detectives and loved it!!
I have a question about it, though:
There is a finnish painting called ”Lemminkäisen äiti” by artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela, which really reminded me of the washer woman painting !! :))
I was wondering if there was any chance that it was inspired by it or if it’s just my imagination :D? (Really cool either way)
Tumblr media
(Here’s the painting, it’s about Lemminkäinen’s mother griefing the death of her son, based on Finland’s national epic Kalevala)
I personally have always loved that painting -- i first saw it in the Helsinki art museum in about 1997 and it was my second favourite painting there.
But I don't know the answer to your question.

I'm confused about the GO timeline. When Crowley and Aziraphale first meet, we learn that They will be "shutting all this down again in about 6,000 years.". But Crowley tells Nina and Maggie that he and Aziraphale have been talking for millions of years. How is that possible?
Because there was lots of Good Omens angel time before Earth Time started.

In the writing of season 3 of Good Omens (and maybe even the previous seasons) are you completely free on what you write or does Amazon Prime prohibit you from certain things and limit you/ encourage you to introduce particular things (which are not particularly planned by you originally) ?
Are you alone or accompanied by people from Amazon in the writing?
I hope this is understandable
Nobody from Amazon Prime has suggested anything be put in to Good Omens or removed from Good Omens. They are keen to discuss the practicality of making things, of budgets and such, but they seem very happy to let us make the show we want to make.

In Italy, this year, for the Diversity Media Awards, among the foreign series candidates there is also Good Omens.
"The Diversity Media Awards reward the characters and media content that have contributed to a valorising representation of diversity in the areas of gender and gender identity, sexual and emotional orientation, physical appearance, ethnicity, age and generations, disability."
Did you know that?
Good luck to all the nominees, but to Good Omens in particular!
I didn't know that. It's wonderful.

The thing is, there are levels. How deep you want to go into yourself. In any relationship. Some people just can’t fit through your innate little gaps to go deeper, while some people meet you there already, like you’re just connected there. Like you always were. But they can be hard to find.
Sometimes, you’re so exhausted with the struggle to find real, meaningful connection that you let yourself float up a level or two, and it is easier then. There’re more people to choose from, the more of yourself you leave behind, leave buried deep, underneath. It can be such a relief to connect with somebody there, just easy, just simple. You can easily forget, for a while, those neglected depths.
Maybe you choose one of those kind people who inhabit one of your daylight levels. Maybe you get comfy just staying there, in the light with them, like you’re a ranch house, a bungalow with no basement, nothing down there but a couple yards of concrete.
Except you’re not that. You’ve got shadows and dim corridors and levels and levels beneath. And maybe you ache to share those spaces, move in together with somebody who says, I’m not scared of the dark. Somebody who wants to inhabit even those deepest places with you, until they aren’t dim and walled off anymore, until you can inhabit all of yourself, be whole.
My advice to you is this: you’re not just one empty level. Don’t settle. You’re okay on your own, and maybe someday you’ll meet somebody who can find their own way down the stairs.
The connections you make below the surface can bring daylight streaking through even your dark corners. I promise, it’s worth it.
