littlehollyleaf asked:

Thank you so much for answering so many of our questions, you are a superstar! A technical Good Omens one (only if you have time) - your intro to the Script Book mentions that the E1 ending and E2 beginning were made up of a scene from later in E2 that was split. The Script Book itself has the same E1 ending and E2 beginning as the show though, so I was wondering - how did E1 and E2 originally end and begin and where did the split scene originally fit in? (gosh, hope that makes sense!)

Episode 1 originally ended with the Hellhound heading towards the Them. And Episode 2 originally began with the Hellhound getting turned into Dog.

gintakas asked:

hey neil, i have been wondering how Crowley’s past life (? angel life?) was like, like what was his relationship with the Archangels. Also, i think someone brought this theory up, sorry if I am repeating, but what do you think about the theory saying that crowley might have been the Archangel Raphael?

Do you want this to sound passive aggressive to ward people off or is this miscommunication (on my part)? I think most people are asking for your personal headcanon while still accepting others’ at this point. Maybe your experiences have taught you differently and you are cautious now but to me every time this seems more and more as a “don’t bother me, doesn’t matter so why are you asking” and that you could just leave don’t you? I’m not trying to be mean, just not sure how to interpret these answers anymore

neil-gaiman

If it sounds passive-aggressive then I’m not doing it right. It’s meant to sound helpful, but firm. It’s also meant to indicate that I’ve been saying the same thing about Good Omens here for years, and on my blog at Neilgaiman.com for much much much longer than that, and also to be helpful to people who can’t easily find things, or even know they’ve already been answered, because Tumblr’s not the best website when it comes to finding things people have previously posted.

And I’m sure you weren’t trying to be mean. 

So…

I’m the author. My personal headcanon is Canon if I write it. It’s also irrelevant if I don’t write it in a book or put it on the TV. I’m not going to endorse fan theories, partly because I don’t like the idea of cutting off other, equally valid, fan theories. I’m also not going to endorse, or even read, fan theories (except possibly for ones with pictures about how Crowley got into the bathtub) because it’s just like reading fan-fiction with my own characters in it, which I don’t do: I’d hate to not feel comfortable writing about something in the future because someone else wrote that idea in the past.

If I had a huge and well-developed headcanon about Crowley’s background as an angel I’d hate to either talk about it in public, because I don’t, I write the things instead, or spend time with anyone else’s versions, because if I ever was going to write that story, that might put me off. 

Does that help?

I’m not quite sure whether the key take-away from this answer is the marvel of one person being able to muster such a level of patience and sympathy towards their fans who tend to ask the same kind of questions on an endless loop, or the fact that @neil-gaiman admits that he’s still not entirely done with these characters. That he can’t offer his own head canons publicly, because he might some day want to write them down as canon. As in an extension to the existing canon. As in a sequel? Possibly? Hopefully? Someone with better reading comprehension help me out, because this would be too good to be true.

good omens fandom neil gaiman head canons death of the author why would he even bother to answer in such detail this fandom is blessed

May I offer you, good people, a drawing of that angel Raph Crowley hanging up the stars?


I love the stars and that Crowley helped create them and the idea of him being Raphael before the Fall. With golden eyes and wings that showed he was already different from the very beginning. I imagine he was truly happy then and sometimes looks up and misses these times a bit.
