When people ask what was the one thing that helped in these times - and I don't just mean lockdown, I mean Brexit and climate change and austerity and everything - I'll reply Good Omens. Lovely post here: So you know why I love Good Omens? Because it’s HAPPY.

Oh and remember to boycott amazon! Especially today when the workers are striking! :D

ETA: There is fic already! Good Morning, Demon
Crowley’s long nap gets cut short a little sooner than he anticipated. A little sequel to the May 1st Good Omens: Lockdown mini-episode.

Aziraphale sent the burglars home with cake.

I have seen the Tumblr post (quite possibly via you) and it's in my big collection. And how very true it is. ♥

ETA: Just re. your post and 'Everything I write winds up too conceptual...'

Having just posted MY new chapter I can only concur. It was a nightmare of a chapter to write, because I had three million thoughts and I didn't want to overload it. (I probably did anyway, because it's basically the chapter that tackles the theology of the whole thing? It could easily have been three times the length, and it's near the 6k mark as it is...)

Also your 'Plus the bit about how Aziraphale is afraid of being scrutinized by God' made me laugh because... Well, when you read the chapter, you'll see. ;) (But it IS long, and heavy, so don't stress. Save it for when you have the spoons. ♥)

Bless them for making new content. <3

Best show. ♥

OMG: Michael Sheen, David Tennant, and Neil Gaiman wrote us a lockdown present!

[elisi]

I knooooow. And it's so beautiful! <3

ETA: I was scrolling though Twitter this morning, and NeilHimeslf said something about 'cake' to celebrate Good Omens birthday, and to check back at 1pm... SO I DID! :D

[unfeathered]

OMG that is just so... perfect. :-)

(Goes to listen to it again)

[elisi]

Isn't it just... ♥

Only ended up loading this up last night, but was also delighted by the Good Omens vid. I loved miracling in the cherries! Crowley wanting to slither over and watch him eat!

Neil Gaiman clearly knows what the audience wants.

[elisi]

He really does! And what they want and what they need overlaps in a perfect circle. :)

I wish Terry were here to see this.

[elisi]

Now you made me sad... :'(

(Did you see this?)

[sea_thoughts]

Sorry!

No, I didn't see that, how beautiful. <3

I am sure there are a wealth of other little details & Easter eggs. This is Good Omens after all.
