And that right there is how you weave the stuff of legends. Even in his ask replies he crafts the words and through-lines of how stories of the ages are told. And I'm not using hyperbole. This sort of anchoring point he just gave us in a story when the story is at the particular pacing arc GOMENS is rn, is the stuff of legend. Especially when he knows that we, as his audience, have as long to wait yet as we do. And even though I know all this on a technical writing level, it doesn't matter. Not one tiny bit. My poor heart that is torn in pieces for everything Crowley has experienced in his existence and the space his character is living in right now, has something to hold on to for him. And for now that is balm enough.

What’s your favourite line from good omens?

The invisible and unbreakable one that joins Crowley and Aziraphale.

Hello! I am a young -like, under eighteen- aspiring author and I am currently writing a book. I am nervous about the whole affair and would enjoy some advice! Why, I pretend I hear you asking? It's because I'm worried that the... uh, excrement will hit the fan.

I would really appreciate tips, especially from you, cause you're a literary genius and an author, so if you have any tips- well, I'd appreciate the advice.

In other words. HOW DO I WRITE PLEASE TELL ME YOUR SECRETS!

Thanks!

You write. You finish things. You write the nest thing. You make your peace with the things you write not being as good as the things in your head. You keep writing.

Once you've started writing things that aren't as bad as the first things, you start letting people see them.

#this #neil's advice about writing is a treasure and how he says it is a treasure #it's so inspiring while being so realistic at the same time #neil gaiman #writing advice

Should I live post from work again?

I used to post little blurbs from work as things would happen. I work as a paramedic, see, so it's not the big dramatic stuff that's the most jaw dropping, but the most inane, the things that make you just stand there and blink at someone and think that TikTok sound, "What is going on inside their head...?" 😂

Also, besides being in a state of constant hypervigilence, I don't think we can discount the sentiment he lets slip when talking to Shax at the beginning when he asks her what the point of it all it is. The tone in his voice is so weary and just.....down. See, I think that as much as he disliked working for Hell, it did give him some sort vague structure, and right now he's completely adrift with nothing to do except live in his head with his constant fear, nothing to do to distract him from the Damocles sword he feels hanging over him and Aziraphale.

Crowley

I love how Crowley keeps reinventing him/herself.

Even between S1 and S2, there are a lot of differences in mannerisms. Aside from the “In the Beginning“ part, Crowley is a lot more somber and protective of Aziraphale.

If you compare S2 to S1, you see a lot less of the happiness/goofiness that he’d previously displayed.

Crowley’s demeanor in S2 reminds me a lot of the holy water scene. In this scene, Crowley was afraid of something. He asked Aziraphale to help him, as a means of insurance.

So what’s going on? And why is this about the happiest we see Crowley (aside from his attempt to make Nina and Maggie vavoom)?

There are several causes, but I think the main ones are:

- We never saw Crowley deal with the trauma of believing that his friend had been killed. Sure, he was drinking (and probably the most vulnerable) afterwards, but that pain didn’t go away just because Aziraphale was fine. He still feels it, and is determined it will never happen again.

- At the end of S1, Aziraphale believed that they had averted “the big one.” Crowley knows better. He’s waiting for the heaven and hell vs humanity battle that he mentioned after they swapped faces back. It keeps him from filly enjoying things, and makes him watchful.

- Even though heaven and hell were leaving them alone, Crowley didn’t trust either. He lived in his car, not telling Aziraphale. If they cohabitated, it could definitely put Aziraphale in danger. Again, they are still indirectly causing the ineffable couple to not fully be themselves. When Jimbriel showed up at Aziraphale’s door, it brought them unwanted attention. There was no way that was going to end well.

So what will Crowley be like in S3? Will we see a more somber version, or perhaps a “screw it all” over the top goofball? Or something completely different, like a vengeful Crowley?

What I’m hoping we get at the end is a very happy Crowley with his very happy angel, both free of the awfulness that has prevented them from being themselves… as individuals and as the group of the two of them.
