Hello Neil, I have a question about angels in the Good Omens universe.

Do they experience time like in the Mysterious Stranger where Satan says a human life is barely a blink of an eye for an angel or is it more like in Sandman when Morpheus says days go by at the same rate for the endless as humans?

neil-gaiman answered:

The only angels I can talk to in Good Omens are the two on the ground and they are definitely experiencing time at our speed.

I think it's one of those 'the days are long but the years are short' things that you start experiencing as you age. Like, I'm pretty sure Spouse and I just moved onto the ranch about a week from being married, but apparently not only were those two events like five years apart, it's been five more years since they happened!

Someone at work asked how long I'd been here and I realized it's been like 10 years, even though every week I go 'god, next week I need to apply to some other places because this place sucks' (and then I don't, because I'm tired from working the whole week)

Add in the kind of pandemic-time-compression effect of not actually having to be anywhere on a real schedule (wait it's march? wasn't it just march a week ago?) and you get the kind of subjective time dilation that immortals get.

okay but that is Perfect hereditary enemies good omens

The Big St James Park Holy Water Fight


When two gentlemen, one of whom seemed to be the well known Mr A.Z. Fell and a tall dark gentleman whom he has regularly been seen meeting with at St James park broke the calm of the afternoon one day with a rip-snorter of a barney and were seen dramatically declaring what seems to be the end of a friendship. Several ducks exploded.
