So! I Have Made It, But It Is As Barren As Can Be.

So! i have made it, but it is as barren as can be.

i've named it St Judes, but i can't quite think of how to set up the chats yet, anyone have ideas? i'm edging toward making the server like we are at St Judes, the introduction channel is the admission or something

We need a tota group chat where we all just talk about tota and rave about it together, I kinda wanna make one but idk if anyone would actually want to do that

I love the paintball scene in the show, it gives us so much. But I need to speak my truth and that is:

This scene is SO much funnier in book-verse. For real. If you haven't read it, this is one scene I wish they'd kept more of in the show.

These two idiots think they've legitimately been shot and that they are actively in the process of dying in a way that only beings that have never actually been discorporated would.

They spend literally several minutes ON THE GROUND, Crowley propped against a statue and Aziraphale literally falls on his ass into a Rhododendron bush.

Not until Crowley realizes their 'blood' is not the right color and tastes it(because of course that's what one does when they think they're bleeding out) does he consider there may be something else going on. And after which he still CRAWLS over to share this newly discovered information with Bushziraphale.

Hi!

I read your post about the Good Omens 2 kiss. The kiss, which wasn’t a romantic gesture per se, but Crowley’s desperate attempt to make Aziraphale stay, make him understand what Crowley himself only allowed himself to realize after Maggie and Nina talked to him.

That in mind, do you think there will be a second kiss in s3? Given that it wasn’t a romantic gesture, is there the need again for such desperate actions like kissing?

Tbh I’m always quite confused when it comes to Aziraphale & Crowley and the need/ the desire of displaying physical affection. I know there is love, friendship and thousand of years between them, but when it comes to human things like kissing, hugging etc. I’m not sure if they ever want/ need that as a way to show affection.

I don’t believe that the season 2 kiss was just a means to an end, and therefore needs no repetition, but a part of me fears that this one heart breaking kiss is all we will get.

Sorry for this mazy message. I think I just want to know if you believe that there will be second kiss, and this time a happy one please.😭

hello! thank you and congrats, you’re the first person to ever ask me a question on here! 🥳

obviously i’m not 100% certain, and i fully trust neil and everyone else working on the show to do what makes sense for the characters and their growth, but i personally hope we get another kiss!

true, they don’t need to have anything physical between them to express their love for one another—we’ve seen it over and over and over again throughout history, even before history! they do not need to kiss or hug or even hold hands for us to know they’re in love. it’s very frustrating when people say that, especially after the s2 finale and after neil has expressed it time and time again that this is a love story.

[tl;dr: although aziraphale and crowley don’t need to show affection physically to know their own feelings and each other’s, i think the way the story and character arcs are going makes a second kiss seem very likely]

physical affection is a very human thing, something that the angels and demons don’t crave or need.

BUT. they also don’t need, and generally don’t crave, food and drink, yeah? throughout both seasons, aziraphale and crowley are the only ones from both heaven or hell (that i remember) that are seen eating and drinking.

aziraphale eats because it brings him pleasure. he indulges his cravings and relishes in the joy he gets from them, a very human thing. the only time we see him go overboard with it is the first time he eats: when crowley offers him the ox ribs. aziraphale doesn’t get full because his body doesn’t need the sustenance, so he just keeps eating, not knowing how to stop and making a mess. over time, he learns temperance in earthly desires and refrains from overindulging. he allows himself to enjoy more and more of humanity and what they create simply because he enjoys it. he finds pleasure in food and drink and theatre and magic and books and music and so many things that would never have existed if humans didn’t also indulge in their pleasures.

conversely, we only ever see crowley drinking, never eating. it’s possible that he’s tried human food before, but he usually sticks to alcohol and coffee (and that one time with laudanum), beverages that alter your state of mind at least a little bit. he doesn’t seem to get pleasure from them, though. it’s like he either drinks to be social with aziraphale, to drown his sorrows/give himself a boost of energy, or out of habit/appear more “human” to blend in. crowley doesn’t let himself indulge, finding joy in his few earthly possessions (his plants and his car, things he takes care of but also has some control over), being near aziraphale, and just generally being a mild nuisance to humanity.

in season 1, although aziraphale clearly likes crowley and being around him, we don’t see him “indulge” physically with him. in season 2, that completely changes. they’re both free from heaven and hell, and so punishment from fraternizing, so aziraphale begins to explore what indulging in pleasure is like with the one being he can’t imagine ever parting from—through small touches, dancing, even just looking at him. aziraphale is so fucking ready to allow himself this one pleasure he’s denied himself since the creation of the universe: to openly love crowley in any form he can.

in season 2, crowley is still a little…stuck (he’s living in his car. not ideal for him or bentley. or the plants). he’s so used to not allowing himself to indulge and is probably a little frightened over this sudden freedom he has, so he almost lives vicariously through others: following aziraphale around with his own projects/duties and trying to get maggie and nina to fall in love. it isn’t until nina tells him that he and aziraphale look to be “together” that he realizes, “wait, does he like me, too? we look like a couple??” he keeps it in the back of his mind, sees gabriel and beelzebub go off together, gets that pep talk from nina and maggie, and thinks, “fuck it, we can do that, too, cause we want to and not just out of self preservation.” he’s about to communicate what he wants and allow himself the pleasure he’s been keeping at arms length or more for thousands of years.

SO, i think, keeping in mind everything we’ve already been shown about aziraphale and crowley, and their personal relationships with themselves and pleasure, it’s highly likely that another, hopefully more passionate and romantic kiss will happen in season 3. obviously a lot will have to happen before then, but aziraphale knows what he wants and has so much practice in discovering new pleasure and enjoying it that i think he wants to have some degree of physical relationship with crowley. he didn’t forgive him for the kiss, or act like he didn’t like it, because he didn’t want it (he would’ve probably pushed him away if that were the case); he was upset and hurt and angry that was how it was done. crowley has much less practice and the kiss is the first time crowley let himself indulge, but it’s devastatingly overshadowed by his desperation and frustration with aziraphale.

just like aziraphale couldn’t stop himself from eating the entire ox, crowley couldn’t stop himself from kissing aziraphale, no matter how messy it got.

anyway, i love the idea of crowley learning to indulge in the things he wants to and finding pleasure on his own and then aziraphale helping him even further 😊

(aka they should kiss and fuck about it)

(and if they decide it’s not for them, then that’s good too 💜)

The one month anniversary update of the Taking Over The Asylum server!

We have a minecraft server, a soup cult, some very concerning facts about Jay, a very complex family tree, and around 50 patients. So on this anniversary, these screenshots arose.

How am I not following you on Tumblr?? Anyway hi, it's Em from the loonie server <33

I have no idea, but HIII

crowley used the metal tool in season 1 to start time, and we learn that he's used it first to start space. to create the stars -- he still remembers how. he still remembers all of heaven's passwords: in the book crowley is described as an optimist because he has the "utter surety... that the universe would look after him". not god, but the universe. and of course he does: he helped create it and he's looking after it, too.

think about it: aziraphale had a sword, but crowley is about to face satan who wants to destroy the world, and crowley's only weapon is a tool of creation
