Late To The Trend

So here’s what I’m thinking.

Good Omens was about Crowley being charged with delivering the Antichrist to earth and overseeing his upbringing.

The sequel, then, would’ve 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 would’ve 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)

I'm written by Donna Tartt. Not in the way that I'm ethereal and smart and well-read. But in the way that I will do anything to be perceived well by a bunch of pretentious people. In the way I never feel smart enough, worldly enough, or that I'll ever fit in, but I'll pretend that I do to a fault. In the way that despite it all, I still have a god complex regarding my intellect

All these gifs were created by me, please don’t steal/repost them.

The books are centred around Harry and we don't get much insight into either Ron or Hermione's inner struggles. But we get insights into Ron's character four times and 3 of them are from Hermione's perspective

This is when Ron isn't talking to Harry in GOF and Harry doesn't understand him.

“Look,” said Hermione patiently, “it’s always you who gets all the attention, you know it is. I know it’s not your fault,” she added quickly, seeing Harry open his mouth furiously. “I know you don’t ask for it…but - well - you know, Ron’s got all those brothers to compete against at home, and you’re his best friend, and you’re really famous - he’s always shunted to one side whenever people see you, and he puts up with it, and he never mentions it, but I suppose this is just one time too many…(GOF)

.

This is when the twins leave the school

“You know,” said Hermione, as she and Harry walked down to the pitch a little later in the midst of a very excitable crowd, “I think Ron might do better without Fred and George around. They never exactly gave him a lot of confidence.” (OOTP)

.

This is when Ron is wearing the locket and the argument is going on between him and Harry at the tent

“Take off the locket, Ron,” Hermione said, her voice unusually high. “Please take it off. You wouldn’t be talking like this if you hadn’t been wearing it all day.”

“Yeah, he would,” said Harry, who did not want excuses made for Ron (DH)

Look here. Harry doesn't understand him even one bit. But Hermione does. She knows he wouldn't have acted that way it werent for the locket.

And ofcourse the 4th one where Ron deals with the locket and destroys it.

Small Ron/Hermione canon moments that even most books readers don't remember.

1. Ron actually decided to follow his worst fear in COS with Harry after seeing Hermione's empty seat beside him at the great hall.

2. The 1st time Hermione apologised and accepted she was wrong in POA to Ron. She also hugged him and cried.

3. Ron actually read many books in his spare time to help Hermione with Buckbeak's trial.

4. Ron got detentions total 3 times in 7 years. 2 of them by Snape for defending Hermione against his bullying.

5. Hermione kissed Ron on his cheek to distract him from the horrible song Malfoy wrote in OOTP

6. Ron bought Hermione a perfume as a Christmas gift to make up for his atrocious behaviour in 4th year.

7. Hermione's the only person who caught that Twins were terrible to Ron and their pranks were affecting him emotionally.

8. Ron consoled Hermione the most when she was upset. At Dumbledore's funeral he was stroking her hair while she was crying on his shoulder.

9. Hermione asked Ron out on a date for the 1st time even though she said 'we are allowed to bring guests'

10. Ron is the only person who said 'I love you' those exact three words to his S.O in the whole series.

Hi Mr. Gaiman, how does it feel becoming public enemy nunber one in the good omens fandom ?

I didn't know I was. Most of the people I've heard from have been very happy about Season 2, and didn't mind feeling emotions. But if it's upset people badly enough to make me public enemy number one I suppose I could stop doing Good Omens and do something else instead.

Wait, a character can become canonically queer and not immediately be sent to super mega turbo hell by the writers???

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.
