ok but imagine if
after switching places and going off to their respective trials
one of them had made it back and and the other didn’t
so whoever survived was just. alone for eternity in the other one’s body and every time he looks in the mirror he has to see the one he lost
Hey fuck You.
The Eden!Verse plays on this (except with a different couple) and it is tragic and awful.
Someone write it, please and thaaaanks.

book fans, holding up aziraphale: stinky
new tv fans: no, he’s pure!! don’t be mean!!!
book fans, swaying him back and forth in the air: stinky bastard man
new tv fans: No!!!!!!!!
tv fans that remember how he casually let a man be guillotined in his place, was DTMAC (down to murder a child) and could basically manipulate crowley into doing anything for him: naughty boy. brat angel
new tv fans, distraught: NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When wilt thou save the people?
Oh God of mercy when?
The people, Lord, the people
Not thrones and crowns,
But men
Flowers of thy heart
O God are they
Let them not pass like weeds away
Their heritage, a sunless day
O God save the people

drachenkinder asked:
The ending to Good Omens was fantastic. I am seriously in love with these two goofballs. Part of the ending wasn't in the book, but it felt particularly like Sir Terry's writing, especially Aziraphale's almost demonic delight about the towel. Was it something that was considered for the book, or did you write it just for series?
No, that was me, 18 months after Terry’s death, having to figure out an ending that would take us all the way to the last minute of Episode 6, after realising (while writing Episode 5) that if I used the ending in the book we’d run out of plot half an hour in.

narcissus-the-sky asked:
More of an apology than an ask. When the fist pictures of Good Omens were released I hated it, and joined in the snark about '2 white men, how original'. In my (ltd) defence, my book cover had a black and a white guy, and it was one of the very few covers I could see myself in back then, that weren't about slavery or Africa. The TV series met none of my headcannons and was awesome, and I realise I was being a dick before. Thanks for all your stories and work, and your patience with idiots online
You know, I never ever expect to get apologies from the Internet, and especially not from Tumblr, and this made my morning. Thank you. I hoped that I knew what I was doing, on the casting, but understood why people were upset.

Hey Neil (I hope it's okay if I call you Neil) I have a question concerning Agnes' prophesies troubling me for days now: Does she see images of what happens in the future and refers to what she percieves as best as she can, or does she literally just write them out of thin air?
Terry and I always thought that she could see things, and then described them briefly as best she could.

winter-rogers asked:
Hi! How do you feel about this new wave of Good Omens fans (a lot of which weren’t actually born when the book was first published)! I’ve fallen in love with the series and I can’t wait to read the book, is it weird for this fandom to come back decades later? -Lucy
The nice thing about Good Omens is it’s probably sold more books every year since publication. So there are always new fans coming to it. Like Sandman, it never feels like waves…
