The Confession

I think the religious satire in good omens is so clever like I could literally talk about it forever. Especially the contrast between Aziraphale and Crowley. My favourite way to explain it is that Aziraphale represents the top to bottom thinking whilst Crowley represents the bottom to top thinking when approaching religion. Top to bottom thinking is essentially starting with the answer and twisting the question to fit. This is really common in real life bible-bashers. Here, the answer is always God. God always knows what is good, what is right and why anything happens at all. Why must the world end after 6,000 years? Because God said it should. Why must an eleven year old boy be the vehicle for Armageddon? God. Why can't an angel and a demon be friends? God wouldn't want it that way. Aziraphale is so indoctrinated by this mentality that it seems obvious to him. It entirely baffles him when Crowley doesn't subscribe to this way of thinking as well. Bottom to top thinking is beginning with the question and then finding the answer - this way of thinking is why science always prevails over religion in a structured debate. Why is the world ending after 6,000 years? Because Heaven and Hell both think that it should. What can be done to stop an eleven year old boy from being the vehicle for Armageddon? Neutralise him. Why is Crowley, a demon, close friends with an angel like Aziraphale? Because he enjoys his company and companionship. Crowley is like a projection of Aziraphale's future. It's even more than that, too. Crowley is all the people who got out. Who grew up/lived in in a toxically religious environment who have moved on and become disillusioned with God and with religion. Aziraphale is all the people still trapped in that environment that know that's not where they belong, but stay because they don't know anything else. It's a genius allegory for toxic mindsets some Christians live by and I am honestly obsessed with it.

Just Pinned to good omens: I love these two so much…
Something I drew on my flight to Tampa , what better way to pass the time than to draw these two ❤️✨#goodomens #crowley #aziraphale #ineffable husbands https://ift.tt/2ZQmECG

Filming Aziraphale & Crowley Arguing

Michael: *Looks lovingly at David*

Director: I think we need Aziraphale to be more angry.

Michael: Oh, believe me, Aziraphale is very angry. He's so angry that he only looked at Crowley's lips once.

Director: Yes but do we think that's enough to communicate anger? *Looks at Neil, appealing for support*

Neil: *Shrugs* Seems legit to me.

Us (months later, watching it): *Grinning to ourselves* Yes, yes it does. As displays of anger go, this one is about as legitimate as slamming your hereditary enemy into the wall with the force of your entire body pressed against him, hip-thrust and all.

I'm assuming Michael Sheen's eyes and David Tennant's hips receive a separate pay check for their services to the fandom, yes?

“I don’t even like you!”

Yeah. Okay.

You've endlessly pondered the Glorious Second Kiss. You've dreamed of the Long Emotional Hug. But have you yet considered the Transcendental Forehead Touch?

Not thirsty anymore (ver.2)

Slowed down the animation & added a few frame to the end. I'm not sure if I should complete this or if i'ts better I move on to the next project. Mmmh.

One thing is sure: this smut war is making me give my best.
