I’m surprised it took this long for me to see this discourse but the reminder that you can kiss someone and still be asexual. You can also have sex and still be asexual. Asexuality is the lack of primary sexual attraction, not your actions.
I don't think we're talking enough about Aziraphale being all be gone foul demon at the beginning of Ep 2 and then doing a complete 180 when he realizes it's Crowley.
So I went to google Bildad the Shuite yesterday in a prime example of when I think the rest of the world revolves around Good Omens as well, and found out he was an actual person in the Bible and friend of Job. 1/
The fact that Neil loves these two enough that he’s going to finish the story however he can does actually do things to my heart.
Also this is your reminder to get someone to watch Good Omens today
Aziraphale raising a wing over Crowley in Eden, exactly as the once more powerful angel had shielded him from falling stars. Returning a kindness that wasn’t owed and was never expected. Acknowledging that perhaps some things didn’t need to change.
Anyway I’m calling it now that something is going to happen to Aziraphale’s memories and Metatron didn’t realize that he left Muriel in a shop full of both books about love and diaries about a certain angel and demon.
Hellooooo. I know we're all tweeting about
#RenewGoodOmens
but what if we really focused and got it trending on one day? Specifically, this Friday, exactly two weeks after season two was released?
There’s something about how we’re shown that Aziraphale has had faith in Crowley for literally thousands of years. Of course we’d all say that Aziraphale trusts Crowley but he has for so very long.

You're another one who does not understand the definition of Fan Fiction. (I am an editor of 35+years and have a degree in writing and in classic lit, so I kinda know this stuff...) Fan Fiction by the proper definition was an internet-exclusive phenom that began in chat room
I'm seeing a lot of blaming either Ed or Stede on the timeline.
They BOTH did something horrible. They BOTH did it from a position of being traumatized. All of that needs to be acknowledged for actual healing.
Hey. Everyone. Breathe deep, okay?
This is a crappy place to break but it’s not the end. We know this ends in a cottage in the South Downs. And this is behavior we’ve seen before from them.
#GoodOmensS2spoilers
I really don’t think we’re talking enough about Aziraphale being willing to fall to save three human kids. Deciding to do the right thing, despite what he saw as one of the highest prices he could pay
Sometimes I wonder if people realize that Aziraphale wants to be with Crowley as much as Crowley wants to be with Aziraphale. This is not a story of unrequited love. It’s two beings desperate to be together each with the knowledge the other would be destroyed if found out.
Bullying someone, even a celebrity, off a platform because they did not perform the way you'd like isn't a win. This is particularly true when that person has been an outspoken ally for multiple groups of marginalized people and clearly does their best to educate themselves 1/
The debate about whether Aziraphale kissed him back when our angel can lift a boulder like it’s nothing. If he didn’t want that kiss he was more than capable of ending it
I’m absolutely calling Aziraphale and Crowley for team asexual even if we get an actual on screen sex scene in season three, and if you have a problem with that I’ll throw cake at you.
So I just need you all to pause for a moment and imagine how awkward it's going to be the next time poor Bildad stops by and Job is showering him with gifts and thanks and he's just like wait what? 2/
If you think Pollution is nonbinary because they use they/them pronouns and don't think Aziraphale and Crowley are nonbinary because the pronouns they use, boy oh boy have I got news for you about what being nonbinary is.
I do appreciate that Neil was like "here you can have everything that makes you happy" and gave me Aziraphale courting Crowley, Aziraphale saving Crowley with a silly sleight of hand, Aziraphale's faith in Crowley, and just so many gentle touches
#GoodOmens2Spoiler
Maybe if you're a minor who is uncomfortable with two old men kissing, you should not watch the show about two old men in love. There's a ton of media available out there, maybe go watch something else?
And then little Jemimah trying to explain it was ACTUALLY A DEMON not Bildad because she (and the other kids) weren't there when their parents got miracled by Crowley /end
Also, not that you need anyone’s blessing to write fanfic but in case you’d like it please know Neil Gaiman is absolutely supportive in your fanfic writing
Aziraphale really did see Crowley get threatened time and again and respond by building him the safest home he could. Consider that concept art with just the bookshop standing: Aziraphale made a place so safe that were Armageddon to happen, Crowley would be protected.
Other people’s hcs cannot harm you, just scroll past the ones you don’t like.
Being exclusionary and trying to get others hcs invalidated under the guise of representation and values can make people feel alienated within the fandom and harm them. Stop it.
You ever just sit and think about the fact that Aziraphale and Crowley are supposed to be enemies but their first instinct from the very beginning when there's something new and potentially dangerous is to step closer to each other?
I had to go to two different bookshops today to help Badger find a book, but in the process they found this copy of Dorian Gray and Crowley what are you doing there?
Crowley sure did walk out of a burning bookshop with somebody to love playing only for us to have to defend they were in love for years because there wasn’t an on screen kiss. Sometimes it hits me that people really didn’t see the not even subtext text
I'm just over here still thinking about the fact that Aziraphale wears two different rings, and they seem to change right about the time the Arrangement comes into being.
There’s not enough Good Omens on my tl so please consider with me whether Crowley always takes his sunglasses off once he’s safely nestled in the bookshop
You waited. And now you see
@michaelsheen
and David Tennant, being perfectly effable.
(On our Soho set. The bookshop is on the left. Could that be a pub on the right?)
#GoodOmens
Season 2
@PrimeVideo
Have we all also taken enough time to consider that Aziraphale is also Crowley’s one particular person (and probably has been since Eden) because I’d just like to think about that for a bit
People: Crowley is an archetypical "bad boy"
Meanwhile Aziraphale:
-Is a complete hedonist
-Is more sarcastic than Crowley
-Lies to angels and God Herself
-You know he's done some shady shit for a book
-They all think he's a mob boss for a reason
-(Probably) fucks a demon
I’m once more thinking about the fact that one of the rare times Crowley decided to add a splash of color to his clothing happened to coincide with the book shop opening and Aziraphale had all the plausible deniability about the colors of the shop
Fun fact, genderbending doesn’t apply to Aziraphale and Crowley because they’re both non-binary. You can’t bend them to the “opposite” because they already broke the gender rules. Cosplay or draw them however you’d like, it can all simply be them
GOmens fandom I’m going to need every one of you to pause and imagine this with Crowley kissing Aziraphale’s hand like that because I think my brain is broken
Where has the TARDIS dropped the Doctor and Donna this time?... ✨
Watch a preview from the upcoming 60th anniversary special 'WILD BLUE YONDER'!
#DoctorWho
I just fell down the rabbit hole of considering historical beds for no particular reason but now I’m just imagining Aziraphale and Crowley ducking in to one of these to hide and then being like oh.
Why is there not a fandom wiki explaining all the weird references within a fandom because I can only imagine the confusion when you wander into the GO fandom and for some reason the kiss is called every
Sure sex is fun but have you ever spent six thousand years with someone falling ever deeper in love to the point where they tried to stop Armageddon to stay with you
Okay look. Look. We all know Aziraphale is his type but I’m still not over /Aziraphale/ being so confident in it. There’s not a bit of uncertainty or doubt there
Sometimes I'm like yes Aziraphale and Crowley are married and sometimes I'm like no that's too simple. Marriage is a human construct. Those two? They're each other's balancing force, inexorably tied in a cosmic dance destined to last an eternity where they fall deeper in love.
No but you all… have you ever watched someone you love when they’re so enchanted by what brings them joy? Because it’s more beautiful than anything else, and I absolutely understand Aziraphale here.
Today I tried to quickly convey to David Tennant how much absolute good Crowley has done for so many of us and told him thank you for our demon and gave him a non-binary feather pin 💛🤍💜🖤 And got my copy of Good Omens signed 💙
