Assorted maggots, I know you know I'm a dumbass. It's a given, really. But a lot of y'all were scandalised when I didn't know who Terry Pratchett was. Let me raise you one better.
Today I met my cousin. I gave her the Good Omens saga to read, from Pt I to Pt III. The line she found the most shocking was, "Terry Pratchett is a guy." And not for the reasons you'd think.
She thought he looked something like Sudha Murty. For those of you who don't know her, she's the mother-in-law of Rishi Sunak, if that bloke still is the PM of Britain, idk they seem to be going through a lot of them really fast. Are you okay, Britain? Have a photo of her...
THIS. IS WHAT MY COUSIN. THOUGHT SIR TERRY PRATCHETT. LOOKED LIKE.
but THAT'S NOT ALL, DEAR MAGGOTS.
My cousin... looked at the cover design and typefaces of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's books. She felt they were similar.
So really, nothing I ever do can upstage this. She thought Terry Pratchett was a kindly old lady who was married to Neil Gaiman because of title fonts.
Make of this what you will.

I have decided to unleash The Day Muriel Had Enough comic unto my wonderful Tumblr Followers!
Thank you for the support and hilarious comments! It means so much to me and makes it easy to keep at it!
Happy holidays with all my love and nonsense!
I love that God's entire plan for humanity literally hinged on what She knew would happen, which was Aziraphale being so distracted by how hot Crowley is that he'd just epicly fail at Apple Tree Guard Duty. How did the demon even get around the angel to tempt Eve? wonder the Biblical scholars of the Good Omens-verse, unaware that the answer is because said angel forgot his own damn name checking out that sexy serpent.
Have you heard of our lord and savior Bildad the Shuhite? ❤️
I have, but I am yet to worship at his shrine in all his live glory. I await his coming.
Hey Neil, my names Zoe. Im a big fan of your work. I'm a trans teen in the US and for the past year I've been trying to get started on HRT. Unfortunately I'm in a not great financial situation and have had a lot of trouble finding a good paying job with insurance, so I decided to try starting a fundraiser to raise the money for HRT. I was wondering if you could possibly share around my gofundme to some people to get the word out. I know it's a lot for a stranger to ask but it would mean the world to me of you could share it with even a single person.
Here's the link https://gofund.me/2c8e2eac
Thanks for your time and have a good day
Good luck.

On the road to Season 3 - Day 20
It's a shame we don't get a better view of Crowley's expression when he smiles so fondly at Aziraphale's delight at being praised.
Master post : here
Things I Don't Think S3 Will Give Us (even if I really want them)
More than 2 Aziracrow kisses (I would like them to make out for 6 episodes but that's unlikely)
Aziracrow sex scene (though I wish they would)
An apology dance in present day (but I think we'll see 1650)
Crowley's pre-Fall identity (probably just some hints and that's it)
Pick up right from where S2 finished (I hate the thought of them apart for so long after The Kiss)
Crowley or Azi being tortured (this is still a comedy yo)
Aziracrow turning mortal (hate this idea)
Azi or Crowley becoming demon or angel respectively (hate this idea, they're perfect as they are)
Things I'm On The Fence About If It Will Happen or Not in S3
Aziracrow hug (please god let them hug)
Azi or Crowley death (albeit temporary)
An appearance from Jesus, God - or any of the characters from S1 not in S2 e.g. Adam, Horsemen
Narration (where's God yo?)
Scenes in Crowley's flat
Crowley sleeping (we were robbed in S1)
More long haired Crowley (I miss her) (if yes, it'd likely be through flashbacks)
Any major, permanent character deaths (when has this ever happened so far? except Ligur but ehhh)
Gabriel & Beelzebub appearing
Nina & Maggie appearing
Azi's eyes changing to purple while Supreme Archangel
Things I Think S3 Will Give Us
A happy, South Downs cottage ending for Aziracrow
More flashbacks including Blitz part 3 (I'm also hoping for 1650)
2nd Aziracrow kiss (YESSSSSSSSSS)
More Azi magic
A very funny, well thought out storyline with a satisfying conclusion, visually stunning, awesome costumes and makeup, incredible acting & a beautiful score
I'm not really on the team that swears to Jesus and beyond that Crowley lost his memories after the Fall. Yes, of course, he forgot some stuff because, ya know, he has been alive for more than 6000 years and if I don't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday, Satan knows he won't remember every single second of his life, but he remembers the important things
"Ah, but what about him not remembering fighting alongside FurFur or building the thingy with Saraqael?"
Love, I give you two options:
Those are either some of the stuff he didn't consider important enough to remember OR he is just straight up fucking with them. He does remember, but why reveal it if playing dumb sometimes is good in the long run? Might be useful
Alas, I don't know, but I will die on the hill that he does remember
Which means he most probably remembers meeting Aziraphale. Not because Aziraphale was "important" at the time per se, or because it was love at first sight (because it wasnt, not for him. Bro was so focused on the nebula he didnt even introduce himself when Aziraphale did. He threw him a "Right. Nice to meet ya. Anyway, nebula time!"), but because he was there when Crowley created the nebula and, as he said, he had been waiting for that moment since "well, always". It's an important moment for him, so he remembers. Aziraphale just so happened to be present
I don't know if that was the only interaction they had in Heaven or not (and that's not the point I'm trying to get to so I will ignore that problem for a later post, maybe), but when the now Demon Crawley was sent up to the Garden, he did remember Aziraphale. That's why he approached him
Cmon, Crowley isn't stupid. Of course he wouldn't approach an angel on the wall just willy nilly and make conversation. He didn't know Aziraphale had given away the flaming sword yet. Just approaching an angel from behind and morph into a demon next to him out of nowhere could be a death sentence. Or at least an A Line for a good smitting
Yet, he did it. He had at least 3 other angels to choose from but he approached the angel that he remembered from back in the beginning that was kind enough to help him with the engine of the nebula. Hell! I even bet this was not the first time they saw each other in the Garden!
Bet they've seen and observed each other from afar a few times while they interacted with the humans (yes, cause I believe Crawley, before tempting Eve, tried to gain her trust. It's easier to listen to a friend than a random snake) or just around the Garden really.
That's why Aziraphale didn't get surprised when Crawley showed up at the wall, because he knew the demon snake had been around the Garden for a while. He probably even recognized him as the former Star Maker and hoped he was still a little bit of his old self so he allowed himself to engage in conversation
Anyhow, another clue? This:
He remembers how Heaven works. He remembers he was a high ranking angel. Satan, he remembers the bloody passwords!
Do you know what else he remembers?
Cause they didn't throw that line in there for nothing. No, gents. Cmon. Nothing is random in Good Omens
He knows who he was. He remembers being the Star Maker that hung the stars in the sky
He remembers why he fell, for goodness sake
And the fact that he remembers everything makes all of it so much more tragic, doesn't it? He remembers his life before the Fall, his supposed friends that dragged him into the pit with them, what Her love felt like, the "mistakes" he made that led to his Fall
And it must have hurt. It must have hurt so much when he found himself in a pit of boiling sulfur with his wings completely burned and without Her love because he remembered it all. He must have been so bloody confused for so long
He might have regretted it. All the questions and the company he kept that made him Fall. But he doesn't anymore.
He knows he doesn't need Heaven, he doesn't need Hell. They are toxic. All he needs is his pacific fragile existence on Earth with Aziraphale and yet...well, that's something else he won't forget now, is it?
*clears throat*
I rest my case
