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!)
neil-gaiman answered:
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
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?
good omens spin-off focusing on hell but it’s formatted like parks & rec. heaven is the eagleton to hell’s pawnee

celestial observer & infernal times have the same page design so clearly they are owned by the same parent company and I can only conclude that it exists independently of either heaven or hell, reporting the news from a neutral standpoint for audiences of both angels and demons, and is where I will go when I die
somewhere in the middle floors of heaven and hell are a scrappy team of dead reporters constantly fighting their bosses to put news about american politics in the celestial observer and arts/entertainment coverage in the infernal times and they are my new favorite characters
