Aziraphale using “Anthony” when Crowley’s in deep shit.
Crowley: *does something moderately not good*
Aziraphale: (scandalizes) ANTHONY!!!
Crowley: *is already halfway up a tree trying to hide*
With hindsight, adding the J wasn’t a good idea either, as it gives the angel more syllables to work with.

What if Crowley holds that “i can’t explain it” scene over his angel forever though. Like one day he’s cuddling with Aziraphale on the couch and the angel says “I love you” for the 100th time
“what”
“what do you mean, what?”
“i’m sorry, i don’t understand what you said. can you explain?”
“re-”
“oh wait, true, you can’t explain this, especially not to me-”
“Crowley for Heaven’s sake it’s been 200 years”

i mention that i live in iowa a lot because i really do love my state, where i’ve lived all my life, and because i think the natural history is a particular mix of horrifying and fascinating. iowa has soil that’s very unique, allowing for it’s role at the heart of the corn belt (the only comparable soil in the world is in, if i remember correctly, Ukraine specifically), but only because 95% of the native prairies that used to make up the land were repurposed as farm land. the other 5% is mostly native forest that couldn’t be developed at the time, and you see more of it as you hit northern iowa especially, although it’s scattered here and there, around borders of farmland and beside roads and highways and in little nooks and crannies.
as a result, if you know where to look, it’s possible to find the weirdest little ecological havens squirreled away in an endless sea of corn and beans. we have native prickly pear cactus. we have native quillworts and hornworts. we have native carnivorous plants. we have a singular native peat bog that houses some of those carnivorous plants. we have native rare orchids. we also have so much hybrid corn that the economy would collapse without it.
aquatic plants were hit pretty hard in iowa, not because of any direct infringement on the land itself, but because the repurposing of bodies of water as drains for farm irrigation. this causes algal blooms, yes, which we still struggle with (especially with nitrogen runoff from all those fields), but also eroded away the banks of rivers and altered those ecosystems permanently.
in ames, there’s a river called the skunk river that was named that because it used to have a population of the eastern skunk cabbage (iowa is at the southern tip of their range), but the plants permanently lost their foothold when the river banks were destroyed by irrigation. ironically, at the same time there is one remaining native skunk cabbage population in a singular protected bog in the state…….hidden in the middle of a tiny grove of trees, next to train tracks, surrounded by farms. the entire thing is about a square mile or two. you have to go out of your way to find it. at my uni’s herbarium our curator has been contacted about one other place that might have a population, but she’s still in the process of confirming it and we have no idea how it got there or survived. it’s on private property……and judging by the owner’s photos, in a weird little hideaway of trees.
in conclusion: my state is wild because there are wild places, but the farmland is so desolate and vast that they only really exist in places that were deemed unfarmable. there are some native ancient prairies, too, that have been preserved, but they’re few and far between. i believe, personally, that theres such a thing as ‘true iowa wilderness’, but it only exists in patches all across the state; it’s not a cohesive expanse like we’ve been taught wilderness is supposed to be. i can only imagine what it used to be like before.

Some angels and demons from Good Omens!
A beautiful and fantastic series in many ways. It is heart-warming and thought-provoking in a humourous and unique style. I highly recommend it! Thankyou to Terry Pratchett (rip) and Niel Gaiman for being as brilliant as you are :)
