What Are Your Predictions/Hopes For Season 2?
I’m curious to know people’s predictions and hopes for season 2. I don’t doubt season 2 is going to be great and I’m so excited for this summer. Personally, I don’t have any predictions since I’m mostly the type of fan who “enjoys the ride rather than wonder what the destination will be.” But I do have some hopes.
-Season 2 to be more character driven than plot driven.
-Flashbacks of Crowley as an angel or just more hints on why/how he fell.
-Some physically affectionate moments between Aziraphale and Crowley like holding hands.
-Aziraphale wearing a different outfit for a few scene or an episode(more as a fun moment than anything else).
-Anathema, Newton, Adam, Shadwell, Madame Tracy, and the Them mentions
-More angels and demons who don’t fit the status quo of what angel and demon should be
-More Ineffable Husbands scenes throughout centuries
-Another witch character(but I think it would work better in a possible S3)
-More long hair Crowley scenes
somethin silly for a cringetober prompt I was doing on instagram, I love jim.
this didn't start as good omens fanart but it just felt right
in my correct opinion Crowley would listen to this and cry
tumblr really trying to show me things that aren't good omens but oh no i will not be broken
so nice of amazon to make another ineffable husbands playlist

good omens s2 spoilers under
whY GAIMAN WHY
life can be pretty cool because we get good omens s2. but there’s also the horrors
Can you imagine what kind of belated fear Hastur must have had, after realizing "Crowley" was in fact immune to holy water and the spray bottle could have actually killed him?
Just saying, I would be sick to my stomach
I just realized that I NEED Crowley to wear black sweatpants and a simple black Tee in season 3.
Like he's so devastated he has lost his style for a short moment.
Just Crowley in comfy cloathing bc he needs the comfort - now that Aziraphale can't give him that anymore.
Maybe Aziraphale asked Crowley if he was still a demon in rome bc he was sure Crowley did a too-good thing for hell in the whole Job Story and then already had faith he could become an angel again
Like he's too good of heart to be a demon, surely heaven noticed their mistake somehow
SPOILERS GO2
So I had a dream:
*Azi and Crowley discussing/ fighting after all the stuff that happened and they can talk in peace*
*crowley expecting an apology etc and nearly screamed at azi*
Azi: "but.. It was my First"
Crowley: "Wot -" (are you talking about now again?!)
Azi: "It was my first kiss, Crowley"
*silence*
Azi: "And you pressed it on me. Without- (asking me?) Without love. Just.. just fear.
Crowley looks at him with an untitled expression, not sure what to say. In his eyes, he gave him all the love he could ever give.
Azi: "Fear of being abandoned. Of being alone. Like you felt you always were."
Crowley wants to say something and his mouth opens, behind his glasses building up a small tear-
Azi: "But I was there. You were never completely alone. And you know that. *He gets quiet* I did not deserve that.
I- *voice shaking* forgave you for kissing me.. like this - (in a hurry, without content and with nearly only desperation).
Crowley: "You didn't even listen to me back then, huh?"
*He takes off the sunglasses, first time in presence of the angel since the kiss. But he doesn't look at him. He's cleaning them with a small peace of fabric - looking down, eyebrows raised*
Crowley: "I wanted you to be with me. You didn't quite listen, did ya? I had already lost you! In your angel head you were already decorating your new Office in Heaven! I-"
*fastly puts sunglasses back on to look at Azi. Sees him there - finally listening. He seems to be able to understand it this time.
He takes them off again. Eye meets eye*
Crowley: "Maybe I was desperate. I mean- who wouldn't, if.. ugh.. if maybe the. The love of your life, perhaps - I couldn't let you go. After all I knew, heaven didn't want to treat you right! - you didn't know what happened in heaven, what happened to Gabriel!"
And then my dream faded, I am sorry.
But I feel like this was an healing experience after the ending of Season 2.
Good omens spoiler!!
So I saw a lot of people talking about the kissing scene, and I would like to share my thoughts. I think that the reason why Aziraphale says "I forgive you" is because he is afraid that the kiss is an attempt to tempt him and not to show him love. By the time of the kiss he has the mindset of heaven vs hell and he does not see Crowley as a separate side, but as a demon (we can see that when he says "you're the bad guys"). Because the kiss is so desperate and aggressive, he does not want to see the feelings Crowley wants to show him, but instead, he sees an act of demon trying to tempt him. He's trying to believe that this is the truth so he can go to heaven without any doubt. In the audio description, we can hear that Aziraphale is disappointed because he does not want to see the love Crowley is showing him. We can see that when they are kissing, angel is trying to kiss back, but chooses not to in the end so he could choose the 'greater good', which is fixing heaven. So that is my theory, I hope my English is not too bad
While crying my eyes out
the way i watched through the whole credits waiting for aziraphale to go back
I AM NOT OKAY!!!!!
WE WERE FED BUT AT WHAT COST???!?!?!!
Good to know we're all coping so well with the S2 finale
Crowley's hearing "I can finally make you good enough to deserve Heaven"
but Aziraphale's saying "I can finally make Heaven good enough to deserve you"
Aziraphale loves Crowley so much that he is willing to rebuild heaven for him.
He loves him so much he is willing to give up everything if it means there is a chance he might smile again
Aziraphale loves Crowley so much that he will rewrite existence if Crowley can make stars again
Crowley loves Aziraphale so much that he doesn't need any of that
He loves him so much that he doesn't need heaven, or happiness, or the stars
Crowley loves Aziraphale so much that he is Crowley's heaven, or happiness, or stars
They love each other so much that it blinded them, and they never asked the other how they wanted to be loved
okay I'll try to post something else than lmk Have some Crowley doodles bc I love her sm
every day i make choices. not the right ones, usually, but choices nevertheless.
Major good omens season 2 spoilers
I'm at a music competition right now, and look what someone is performing
It's haunting me
Watching Good Omens season 2 was like reading the most perfect, slow-burn 100k-word fanfiction in a nice, relaxing bubble bath surrounded by scented candles. But when you get to the end, you realise it's an abandoned, unfinished fic that was last updated five years ago, and you are left alone with this earth-shattering cliffhanger, and on top of that, someone throws a toaster in.
thinking about Good Omens 2. and stories, and the shape of them, and Terry Pratchett and his themes. and something clicked.
Aziraphale is cackling.
it's not just the ball. he spends the entire season trying to force the story into a shape it's not, and everyone suffers for it.
i've seen some less than charitable takes on Crowley's actions and they all ignore how much Crowley did try to talk to Aziraphale, did try to ask Aziraphale questions, did try to help, only to be ignored or brushed off. because his questions, his offers, they didn’t fit with the story Aziraphale was telling himself.
quiet, gentle, and romantic. it was, if you're our favorite Angel - right up until the end, at least. because he decided that's the story he was in. from the very beginning, he's off in la-la land, living out this romcom with a cute little mystery wrapped up in it, completely ignoring what's actually going on around him. i'll set Nina and Maggie up! (completely ignoring that Nina tells him she has a partner, and at that point, he has no reason to think she's anything less than happy.) i'll take ~our~ car to go do investigate this silly little mystery (he's not taking it even a little bit seriously!) while you stay here and run the bookshop and it will be so quaint and domestic! soon we'll dance and confess our feelings that we obviously share because we're already so clearly a couple we just need to finally say it!
Crowley knows the entire time that they're in a horror story but Aziraphale ignores every attempt he makes to point that out because it doesn't fit the story he decided he's in the middle of.
he brushes off Crowley's concerns and questions - his QUESTIONS! - like they're nothing. he doesn't want to see it, so he doesn't. and Crowley should have told him more?
why would he?
when you are CLEARLY in distress and it's being BLATANTLY AND WILLFULLY IGNORED, what the fuck are you supposed to do? "Crowley didn't comminicate" well okay if I were having a panic attack about something and my husband completely ignored it, chattering on about our dinner plans or whatever, that wouldn’t exactly make me want to open up about what was wrong! that would send the very fucking clear signal that he didn't want to know!
words aren't the only way we communicate and Crowley's body language, the entire season, is that of someone who is living in a horror story, knows he's living in a horror story, and is fucking terrified. if Aziraphale were paying any attention to Crowley instead of focusing all his energy trying to set things up just so for the big climax of his love story, he would know something major was wrong.
why would Crowley have told him how cruel Gabriel was about the execution when Aziraphale's already so thoroughly convinced that heaven is pure and good and has shown over and over through the millennia that he's not really open to considering that it can be cruel!
just look at them at the dance. Crowley freaking out because there's a horde of demons out there and Aziraphale giggling as they go to dance. that's the whole season!
you know who Crowley reminds me of this season?
he's watching helplessly and with increasing levels of distress as Aziraphale shoves every plot point into the romcom hole even though it's obviously not remotely romcom shaped! and i'm sick of people saying he was abusive because he raises his voice about it a few times!
oh, but can you imagine what they could have had?
a starmaker bubbling over with joy, a demon questioning god on the walls of eden. a being who fell in love with an angel, fearing heaven and hell but fighting them anyway because that's what is right, what is decent. because that is who he is.
that demon would have spoken 'i love you' out-loud to his angel as soon as he heard humans using it. that crowley would have loved openly, unashamed, willing to stand between aziraphale and their worlds.
but aziraphale couldn't do any of that, and so he carried the weight of his silence on his shoulders because there is nothing worse than loneliness, is there? i love him, we're not alone, it has to be enough.
eventually, he thought, he will be able to stand hearing me say it. that day never came, and what happened?
a demon who hides behind sarcasm and pretence because he learned that is how the world, how aziraphale, wants him. a demon that never speaks of his true feelings, a demon that never admits to love, a demon that submits to an angel's will because he cannot lose him, because he refuses to lose him, no matter how high the price.
finally, he thought that day. finally i can tell him. finally we can stop pretending, finally I can stop hiding.
then aziraphale accepted an offer and after six thousand years of hoping for more, he lost it all instead.
It has been exactly 23 days since Good Omens season 2. 3 weeks have passed, and yet I am still not over that ending.
This box.... Not even safe while watching the sandman.
