This is now too good to not be canon.
I am unironically convinced that Gella Nattai is that Wayseeker mentioned in Into the Dark who became a minor singing sensation on Alderaan.
Uwah, can't believe Arthur is being guilt tripped and victim blamed by *yet another malevolent entity*

Me, remembering that Martin’s father left when he was like 9, that he’s supposed to look exactly like him, that Leitner is old enough to be his dad and that Martin’s dad left in the 90’s which is around the same time that the leitner library was destroyed and leitner went into hiding:

REALLY BLOODY EXCELLENT OMENS...
Many, many years ago (it was Hallowe'en 1989, for the curious, the year before Good Omens was published) Terry Pratchett and I were sharing a room at the World Fantasy Convention in Seattle, to keep the costs down, because we were both young authors, and taking ourselves to America and conventions were expensive. It was a wonderful convention. I remember a huge Seattle second-hand bookstore in which I found a dozen or so green-bound Storisende Edition James Branch Cabell books, each signed so neatly by the author that the bookshop people assured me that the signatures were printed, and really ten dollars a book was the correct price.
I could afford books. Good Omens had just been sold to UK publishers and then to US publishers for more money than Terry or I had ever received for anything. (Terry had been incredibly worried about this, certain that receiving a healthy advance would mean the end of his career. When his career didn't end, Terry suggested to his agent that perhaps he ought to be getting that kind of advance for every book from now on, and his life changed, and he stopped having to share a hotel room to save money. But I digress.) Advance reading copies of Good Omens had not yet gone out, but a few editors had read it (ones who had bid for it but failed to buy it) and they all seemed very excited about it, and thrilled for us.
On the Saturday evening Terry left the bar quite early and headed off to bed. I stayed up talking to people and having a marvelous time, hung in there until the small hours of the morning when they closed the hotel bar and all the people went away, and then headed up to the hotel room room.
I opened the door as quietly as I could and tiptoed in the dark across the room to where my bed was located.
I'd just reached the bed when, from the far side of the room, a voice said, “What time of the night do you call this then? Your mother and I have been worried sick about you.”
Terry was wide awake. Jet lag had taken its toll.
And I was wide awake too. So we lay in our respective beds and having nothing else to do, we plotted the sequel to Good Omens. It was a good one, too. We fully intended to write it, whenever we next had three or four months free. Only I went to live in America and Terry stayed in the UK, and after Good Omens was published Sandman became SANDMAN and Discworld became DISCWORLD™ and there wasn't ever a good time.
But we never forgot it.
It's been thirty-one years since Good Omens was published, which means it's thirty-two years since Terry Pratchett and I lay in our respective beds in a Seattle hotel room at a World Fantasy Convention, and plotted the sequel. (I got to use bits of the sequel in the TV series version of Good Omens -- that's where our angels came from.)
Terry and I, in Cardiff in 2010, on the night we decided that Good Omens should become a television series.
Terry was clear on what he wanted from Good Omens on the telly. He wanted the story told, and if that worked, he wanted the rest of the story told.
So in September 2017 I sat down in St James' Park, beside the director, Douglas Mackinnon, on a chair with my name on it, as Showrunner of Good Omens. The chair slowly and elegantly lowered itself to the ground underneath me and fell apart, and I thought, that's not really a good omen. Fortunately, under Douglas's leadership, that chair was the only thing that collapsed.
The crumbled chair.
So, once Good Omens the TV series had been released by Amazon and the BBC, to global acclaim, many awards and joy, Rob Wilkins (Terry's representative on Earth) and I had the conversation with the BBC and Amazon about doing some more. And they got very excited. We talked to Michael Sheen and David Tennant about doing some more. They also got very excited. We told them a little about the plot. They got even more excited.

Me and Michael and Ash aged nearly 2.
What it was mostly like shooting Good Omens: peering into screens while something happened round the corner.
I'd been a fan of John Finnemore's for years, and had had the joy of working with him on a radio show called With Great Pleasure, where I picked passages I loved, had amazing readers read them aloud and talked about them.
(Here's a clip from that show of me talking about working with Terry Pratchett, and reading a poem by Terry: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p06x3syv. Here's the whole show from YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7OsS_JWbzQ with John Finnemore's bits too.)
L to R: With Great Pleasure. John Finnemore, me all beardy, Nina Sosanya (Sister Mary in Good Omens) Peter Capaldi (he played Islington in the original BBC series of Neverwhere).
I asked John if he'd be willing to work with me on writing the next round of Good Omens, and was overjoyed when he said yes. We have some surprise guest collaborators too. And Douglas Mackinnon is returning to oversee the whole thing with me.
So that's the plan. We've been keeping it secret for a long time (mostly because otherwise my mail and Twitter feeds would have turned into gushing torrents of What Can You Tell Us About It? long ago) but we are now at the point where sets are being built in Scotland (which is where we're shooting, and more about filming things in Scotland soon), and we can't really keep it secret any longer.
There are so many questions people have asked about what happened next (and also, what happened before) to our favourite Angel and Demon. Here are, perhaps, some of the answers you've been hoping for.
As Good Omens continues, we will be back in Soho, and all through time and space, solving a mystery which starts with one of the angels wandering through a Soho street market with no memory of who they might be, on their way to Aziraphale's bookshop.
(Although our story actually begins about five minutes before anyone had got around to saying “Let there be Light”.)

My ships are not meant to be happy realistic portrayals of romance.
My ships are chaotic, co-dependent, toxic romances that oozes resentment and emotional tension.
Stop trying to cancel me, I’m already in the sewer.
No gay has all 5:
- A job
- Good relationship with father
- Neurotypical brain
- Ability to top
- Driver’s license

I have been unofficially diagnosed by my psychiatrist. She really doesn’t see the point of officially diagnosing me, since it really would do nothing to help my progress.
people wanna talk about "don't self diagnose autism" meanwhile the autism test is damn near 3k dollars, a lot of people don't believe women can have autism, and (for black people) doctors don't believe them when they say they have literally anything. so.
PLEASE hype Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings as much as you hyped The Falcon and The Winter Soldier or Wandavision, it deserves all the love and REPRESENTATION MATTERS.
With all the Asian hate going around, THIS is our moment as a fandom to show love and support, and hype this the fuck up because it's gonna be BRILLIANT!
I keep seeing reports of of yet another black trans woman having been murdered, first I was sad, now I’m pissed! How can I help? Does anyone know?
I was severely bullied by girls of color throughout my school life from 3rd-10th grade. They targeted me and made my life hell enough that I nearly attempted suicide. The group changed over the years but the ringleader remained the same. She was black and came from New Orleans after hurricane Katrina and the only thing I did to kick start her aggression towards me was to say hi, and ask if she remembered me from our summer school class (btw we were both in special needs for different things).
I was a sheltered child and did not understand the racially divided area she came from. And since I grew up in the Texas school curriculum, I harbored prejudices I didn’t even realize had been taught to me. I’m an adult and in college, now. I have come to fully comprehend how my ignorance must’ve harmed her over the years.
Does this excuse everything she did to me? No.
Do I hold anymore ill feelings towards her? Sometimes.
DO I THINK SHE DESERVES TO BE OPPRESSED AND THREATENED BY OUR COUNTRIES SYSTEMATIC RACISM??? FUCK, NO!!!
This country still insists on indoctrinating our youth with dangerous and appalling biases, and keeping us ignorant of what our citizens of color go through daily. I’m learning things now in college that I should’ve been taught as a child!
Not gonna argue with anyone about the Asian Lives Matter movement. If you think me supporting the movement makes me a uncle tom, that's your opinion. I know it's not true and this isn't the first and won't be the last time that I will get called these names.
I've dealt with several racist Asians in my life. I've always been angry at the person, not everyone who shares their ethnicity. Just like I hate being grouped in with all black woman across the USA, I'm not gonna do that to people of other ethnicities.
I don't care what a Korean American said to you 5 years ago, when you went in their store. That does not justify people attacking and killing random Asian people, they see on the streets. What I'm doing is called being an ally. If you don't wanna be one that's fine, but don't attack me for being a decent human being and speaking out when I see Asians getting attacked for no reason.
C’mon guys every little bit helps! ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
❗️TIME SENSITIVE❗️
Hello 👋🏽 I am a physically disabled black woman, an artist, and the sole caretaker of my autistic brother.
Last year, our home was sold from underneath us after our father passed away and my brother and I were left with almost nothing, and nowhere to go. We lost everything. And since, have been struggling every single day to survive and keep a roof over our heads.
We are fighting the system for assistance for my brother, but have been denied twice despite full proof of the extent of disability.
They Do Not Want Us To Live.
But we don't want to give up. We're raising funds for housing so that we can keep trying to survive together. Black Disabled Lives Matter. We should be allowed the same tools to live as everyone else. So we ask for your help.
Please help us, share our GoFundMe, share our story, donate if you can. Help us keep a roof over our heads so that we can KEEP TRYING.
Thank you 🙏🏽💜
