#i live there
Hello Mr Gaiman I was wondering if it was an intentional choice to show Gabriel and Beelzebub in love without a kiss scene because they are more detached from earth and humanity unlike Aziraphale and Crowley who know about human pleasures and rituals and adapted them.
I don't think kissing scenes have much to do with love. Anathema and Newt kissed when they barely knew each other in Season 1, and none of the other couples who loved each other did. I can't see any reason for Gabriel and Beelzebub to kiss: singing Everyday together seemed much more powerful. Crowley's kiss is about a lot of things but it's not to show they're in love: if you haven't got it by then you'll never get it.
Season 2 Trivia | SHADOW AND BONE
So hereโs what Iโm thinking.
Good Omens was about Crowley being charged with delivering the Antichrist to earth and overseeing his upbringing.
The sequel, then, wouldโve been about Aziraphale being charged with bringing about the Second Coming. A nice parallel to the first book.
But in order to get there, we would need a reason as to why it was Aziraphale, not Gabriel, who was charged with that. Traditionally it wouldโve been Gabriel, right?
So Gabriel had to go away somehow, and Aziraphale had to become Supreme Archangel after rejecting and being rejected by Heaven. Hence, season 2, connecting the two stories.
And I love how Season 2 did this.
(and I have a lot of thoughts, so putting the rest of this long post beneath the cut)

The reason Eddie and Maddie have no scenes is like 5 years ago, Eddie and Maddie were left alone for 1 minute and Maddie immediately went "You're in love with my brother"
And Eddie Panicked and ran off and has been avoiding being alone with Maddie since
Dazai: Mori how do you ask someone who wants to kill you on a date?
Mori reading a newspaper: Threaten him, kill all competition, feed the cat that he's trying to be friends with so it rejects him.
Good Omens 2 was like reading a 100k fanfic in the middle of the night that you realize was left unfinished and last updated 5 years ago, and you are left alone with this earth-shattering cliffhanger
