Catherine Borowski has always had an active imagination. As a child, she dreamed that the car park on her north London council estate would be transformed into a garden. The reality was quite different. “No one had a car, so it was empty, grey and depressing,” she says. Now a sculptor and event producer, Borowski has made it her mission to fill unloved urban spaces with flowers – albeit virtual ones. 
She and her partner Lee Baker are the founders of Graphic Rewilding, a project to install huge nature-inspired artworks into the urban landscape. “Where real rewilding isn’t possible, our goal is to inject the colour and diversity of nature into rundown spaces, urging people to notice – and find joy in – the world around them,” says Baker.   
The pair believe that flowers possess serious powers, even when they’re not real. “We know that spending time in nature is good for us, but studies show that even pictures of plants have a positive effect on the mind,” says Baker. He cites research published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, which found that imagery of plants in hospital waiting rooms can help reduce feelings of stress in patients. 
Baker, a painter and music producer, has long understood the benefits of biophilic design. Having suffered a breakdown 10 years ago, he found that drawing flowers was the only way to soothe his buzzy brain. “I would set out to draw dystopian landscapes, representative of my state of mind, but I’d always end up drawing flowers, which uplifted me,” he says.
It was around this time that Baker met Borowski, joining her production company as creative director. The pair have collaborated ever since, launching Graphic Rewilding in 2021. Since then, they’ve installed floral murals at locations including Earl’s Court station, Lewes Castle and Westfield Shopping Centre in Shepherd’s Bush – all hand drawn by Baker. “We love galleries, but we focus on public art,” he says. “This way, our work is out there for everyone to enjoy.”
This year the pair have grand plans to create a series of stained glass pavilions (think greenhouses with colourful floral-themed panels), which they hope might find homes at Kew Gardens and the Eden Project. “The way light shines through the glass is magical,” says Borowski.  
Even so, they concede that art is no match for Mother Nature. “Some people have suggested that our project detracts from real rewilding efforts. But both can co-exist,” says Borowski. “Of course we want more green spaces.” adds Baker. “But we aren’t gardeners. We’re artists. In the absence of nature, we want to create inspiring spaces through art.”
Overall, the response has been hugely positive. “The joy that these artworks bring is palpable,” says Baker, highlighting an early project in Crawley, West Sussex. “Many people in the town were employed by Gatwick airport and Covid had taken its toll,” he recalls. In a bid to spread some joy, the duo painted brick walls, billboards, benches and even bins with their signature floral flair. “Peoples’ reactions were heartwarming. There were so many smiling faces,” he says.
Elsewhere, in Earl’s Court, the pair transformed “a ratty piece of tarmac” into a modern-day pleasure garden, which is now often filled with children dancing and doing cartwheels on the way home from school. “Putting art into a place that previously felt unloved feels like cultivating joy where there was none,” reflects Borowski. “If something like this had been installed on my estate when I was a kid, it would have been a dream come true.”

Hi there.
I'd like to start with a warning first: Beware!
I'm rather new to tumblr, so if what will come next turns out to be total bs, I hope you all get out of this unscathed, forget we ever crossed paths and will be able to go on with your beautiful lives.
If you're still here, you'll about to hear the nice and accurate story of a guy that stumbled naively into a Good Omens binge watching weekend and came out forever changed.
Roughly 4 weeks ago I was asking friends what they were watching currently. I needed new material to turn to.
That's when it happened.
One of them casually brought up Good Omens on Prime. I should give it a try. Angels, demons. Terry Pratchett. Neil Gaiman.
Ok. I like fantasy. I like good story telling. I have an odd sense of bad humour.
I decided to give it a try.
To my eternal shame I have to confess, that until lately I hadn't read a single line written by both Pratchett and Gaiman.
I've read thousands of books. My love for them is so widely spread over all genres, that it simply did never happen. There was always some other book and author that came next.
Oh, how blind and ignorant I have been. I now clearly see the grave error of my ways.
If you can't forgive me, that's ok. I'm having a hard time myself doing so.
Be that as it may, I'm currently reading Good Omens and won't stop there. I promise.
So, where was I? Right. Binge watch session of Good Omens season 1. Saturday evening. Around 9:30pm.
Episode 1 wasn't even running for 5 minutes and I was already sucked right into it.
Frances McDormand's God intro and the garden eden scenes. I was instantly in love.
Michael Sheen had already been one of my favorites. His first minutes as Aziraphale directly hit home.
David Tennant was familiar but I also hadn't been into Doctor Who, so it took another 5 minutes to also fall for Crowley...
The path was set and I started to deep dive in.
6 hours, 6 episodes, 1 Antichrist and 1 almost Armageddon later I crawled into bed on early Sunday morning to get at least a few hours of sleep. I fell asleep with an almost idiotic grin on my face and a feeling of deep content.
Only 5 hours later, technically still Sunday morning, I woke up, prepared a coffee infusion and switched the TV back on.
There were important deeds to be done. Episodes to be watched. I could sleep later.
Narrator: No, he would NOT sleep later...
I again immediately fell for the 2 celestials.
The slightly different arc, no dramatic catastrophe on the horizon, instead beautifully written side characters and wonderful new details on the two main protagonists...an evolving love story that had already been clearly visible in season 1...
And god, or Satan, HOW I LOVED JON HAMM as Jimbriel...
I again ended up binge watching the whole season, only interrupted by a few coffee and bathroom breaks.
6 hours later. The end credits were already over for like an eternity and I hadn't moved. Just sitting there, all goosebumps and teared-up.
I ate something. Had to. Don't really remember tasting anything or remembering what I actually had.
I was dumbstruck.
The friend that had suggested to start watching GOs, hadn't let out much more detail, so I hadn't been prepared in the least, for the emotional train wrecked state it had pushed me into.
Hours later I finally fell into an uneasy sleep.
The next morning before work I just sent Tori Amos' Nightingale in Berkeley Park to my GOs friend followed by a ❤️, as a signal that I had watched it all and let her know that there was no need anymore to hold back with talking out of fear to spoiler me.
We had lunch together and spent the whole time rambling on our GOs induced emergency emotional state and the whole beauty of especially Gaiman's season 2.
The next days we kept randomly talking about GO before she pinpointed me to tumblr, in case I wanted to dare a real deep dive into GO fandom.
So here I am now. A week's passed. I've spent hours of reading so many amazing posts around here. So many eye-opening moments.
I'm not only speaking of all those perfect interpretations of GO and it's characters.
What impressed me so much more is the fabulous energy especially radiating from the queer community.
Update notice - 2024/04/10
Attention! This installation of base module "Sexuality" is currently being updated to a more flexible one...work in progress...
Not being queer, only having a few queer friends, I hadn't really realized, just how big a thing GO in general and season 2 in particular was for you.
I was raised to walk earth open-minded, to respect everyone, no matter of religion, gender, nationality and sexual orientation. This is so deep a part of my DNA and personality, that GO for me was mostly just a beautiful story about religion, the meaning of life and love.
2 immortals fall deeply in love, first into humanity, life on earth and then finally into one another, while trying to overcome all the madness of belonging to two opposing sides of the same medal.
A great parable on the pursuit of happiness. Skillfully written for the screen and perfectly casted and played.
Well that was then.
Now I see you and I have to thank you, for opening my mind even further.
For giving so much joy so generously, although every day is still a fight for your rights.
For giving me a space here among you and the chance to delve some more in beautiful minds and fanfiction.
So, if you're still here and reading this, maybe it was not all bs. Maybe it gave you some minutes of entertainment and distraction from every day's stress and problems.
It sure was for me.
I'll end this with some favorite Shakespeare quotes, although now I'm not so sure any more, if not some red haired demon might have actually written this...
"If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber’d here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends."

A goodbye needed
From being born in Hyderabad to living in the northern part of India, that is Gurgaon and then the Western side, Maharashtra to Vishakhapatnam in the south and finally in the eastern states of Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, and Odisha, I do get to say that I covered eighteen years of my life in the four main directions of India. But my favourite city has and will always be Kolkata.
To be honest, my brother desperately wanted to live in Kolkata because of Eden Gardens in our GK book. I wasn't that interested until I arrived in Kolkata in 2016 to appear for the written test in my school. The exam went well and so did the interview. I remember my father lived in a small bachelor's one room apartment in Ruby Park. My eleven year old eyes were stunned as they took in the grandeur of the old buildings from the British era to the modern metros and malls of Kolkata. When I came back to Raipur, all I knew was Kolkata would be life changing for me.
And in 2017, I did come home. To Kolkata. A small roadside apartment facing a canal where you don't have crystal clear water but drainage water. Somehow the water wasn't stinky until the arrival of the monsoon showers. I lived there from 2017 to 2020. I was supposed to stay there until 2022 but fate had other plans but that's a story for another day.
I always call Kolkata home even though I am from Odisha. It was the only city that embraced all shades of me. I spent the first two years of my teenage there. The damp roads leading to my apartment have heard my songs above sweet love and true friendship. On quiet midnights, my tiny balcony knew the whispers of my soul, and the questions it asked about fate and the world. The monsoon rainfall told me how to appreciate nature and beauty. I learnt to dance with storms, and dream of stories that I now write and desperately wish to be a part of.
I met a teacher who told me in a tone akin to a whisper in front of the class that I am like a small pandora box, hidden from view but having the most wonderful and beautiful things to offer the world. The next month I danced for a school event and God since then I never looked back. Kolkata connected my soul to literature and culture.
I am no longer in Kolkata but each time my calendar notifies Rabindranath Thakur's jayanti, my heart goes to the old tunes of Rabindra sangeet; the beauty and tenderness of his songs that captured my heart and caused me to spill some of my poetry in the last page of my rough notebook.
I visited kolkata again in December 2021 after first term examinations of class twelve. My connection with kolkata broke like a plant uprooted from its soil. It felt as if I had been banished from home. All the months that passed, and all the seasons that changed showed me memories and dreams of what could have been in kolkata. But when I visited kolkata, I saw how some things had changed.
My home appeared....... different? I always say that my young soul blossomed in Kolkata. The same soul turned sad at the emotion that the city showed me. Perhaps that's how growing up is. To see that things around you change, people, roads, hearts everything but somewhere there still lies a calling that says, 'hey, I know things are different. But I am still here. Look at me, embrace the new me. Embrace yourself. You are changing too.'
Where it once used to be wonder, nostalgia filled my heart as I met my friends after two years. I passed through my apartment again and smiled at the balcony, my small corner for solitude. I saw a few towels hanging there.
Going back from Kolkata felt a little sad. I could not accept the change. I had been uprooted from my roots, and when I come back I see new flowers springing up. Without me?
Then after a year, I visited Kolkata again in July 2023. I had grown so had the city. When I passed by the same British era buildings and Howrah bridge, the same wonder struck my soul. I saw a few flowers growing on the pathway, getting their nourishment from the July showers. The empty space in my heart too was filled with flowers. My friends who are now in their respective colleges, doing their own things with their own friend circles now but somehow we come together. Just like old days before.
Home is always home no matter how far you go or how long you stay away from it. Home will always welcome you back. The fragrance of wet earth filled my soul with a warm blanket, as if telling me that all this while, I waited for you. I am different but I am still your friend.
Era sukher laagi chahe prem, prem mele na.
Shudhu sukh chole jaye emoni mayar cholona
This song will always remind me of Kolkata, the warm monsoon nights that were filled with a longing of love, friendship and magic. It will take me back to dreams and whispers of a fantasy that my heart still believes in that I would one day bring forth the wonder and beauty of my Self to the world. It will remind me that there must be tender days to be spent in reading poetry on a cool evening.
The day I boarded the train to Durgapur, my heart hummed the tune of Era Sukher Lagi from Choker Bali. As the train left the station, I waved at my young self through the window. It was farewell. I would come home later for my dance work, a thread that shall tie me to this wonderful city forever but I would never come home this way ever again and for the first time I was happy. And perhaps to witness an end to a heartwarming journey of nostalgia, acceptance to change and farewell, the clouds showered rainfall against the window just like the cool monsoon nights years ago.
All was well....

sorry to bother, but I've got a question that's been bugging me for a little while. In chapter one of Anthony C. Yu Translation, it states the monkey kings birth rock as an 'immortal stone' then goes on to describe its size. how could a stone be immortal, or is a just a way to say it was favored by the heavens?
I'm not sure, but I've always considered it to be a kind of "scholar's rock" (gongshi, 供石), a category of gnarled, pitted stones that develop in nature. They are often seen in Chinese gardens. The rocks were historically viewed as stand-ins for qi (氣)-filled mountains far away from the cities and towns where scholar-cultivators lived. I wrote the following in an old college research paper:
It’s important to point out that the very first reference to Chinese gardens appears in the Book of Changes. The aforementioned material also states that “Grace [can be found] in the hills and gardens” (賁于丘園). Here, gardens are associated with the wilderness and not a plot in a private residence. The first unambiguous mention of gardens comes from the Songs of Chu (楚辭, Chu Ci, 4th-c. BCE), an anthology of poetry written during the latter part of the Zhou Dynasty. One famous verse known as “Summoning the Soul” (招魂, Zhao Hun) describes how a shaman (巫, Wu) struggles to entice the meandering spirit of an ailing king to return by reminding him of the beautiful women waiting for him “in your garden pavilion, by the long bed curtains”.[7] Such imperial gardens took on a new significance during the following Qin (221–206 BCE) and Han dynasties (206 BCE–220 CE) as certain emperors became obsessed with Daoist immortality and built microcosms of landscapes—rocks for mountains, ponds for rivers, and trees and plants for forests—within their palaces. The hope was to entice lofty immortals to settle there and teach them their secrets of longevity. The first private pleasure gardens arose during the Han. There were two kinds, the extravagant park owned by the wealthy and the simple scholar’s retreat. The former was based on the great imperial hunting parks that served as a symbol for the emperor’s power since such spaces were stocked with exotic plants and animals gifted by conquered territories. Thus, the extravagant nature of these gardens served to broadcast the wealth and power of their owners. On the contrary, the latter were most likely born from privately owned vegetable gardens. The Book of Odes (詩經, 11th–7th-c. BCE), the oldest known collection of Chinese poetry, suggests that scholars during the Zhou dynasty already viewed their simple food gardens as relaxing places of leisure. The idea of a garden serving as a proxy for a mountain retreat was made popular by Tao Qian (陶潛, 365–427), a poet of the Six Dynasties period (220–589). His philosophy is best exemplified by poem number five of his “Twenty Poems After Drinking Wine” series: I built my hut beside a traveled road Yet hear no noise of passing carts and horses. You would like to know how it is done? With the mind detached, one’s place becomes remote. Picking chrysanthemums by the eastern hedge I catch sight of the distant southern hills: The mountain air is lovely as the sun sets And flocks of flying birds return together. In these things is a fundamental truth I would like to tell, but lack the words. ​Here, shear concentration of will transports an individual to the mountains far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. This implies that any setting can be one’s own personal Eden, even a garden.

The Atlantic
Tumblr media
in 1851, members of a California state militia called the Mariposa Battalion became the first white men to lay eyes on Yosemite Valley. The group was largely made up of miners. They had been scouring the western slopes of the Sierra when they happened upon the granite valley that Native peoples had long referred to as “the place of a gaping mouth.” Lafayette Bunnell, a physician attached to the militia, found himself awestruck. “None but those who have visited this most wonderful valley, can even imagine the feelings with which I looked upon the view,” he later wrote. “A peculiar exalted sensation seemed to fill my whole being, and I found my eyes in tears.” Many of those who have followed in Bunnell’s footsteps over the past 170 years, walking alongside the Merced River or gazing upon the god-rock of El Capitan, have been similarly struck by the sense that they were in the presence of the divine.
The Mariposa Battalion had come to Yosemite to kill Indians. Yosemite’s Miwok tribes, like many of California’s Native peoples, were obstructing a frenzy of extraction brought on by the Gold Rush. And whatever Bunnell’s fine sentiments about nature, he made his contempt for these “overgrown, vicious children” plain:
Any attempt to govern or civilize them without the power to compel obedience, will be looked upon by barbarians with derision … The savage is naturally vain, cruel and arrogant. He boasts of his murders and robberies, and the tortures of his victims very much in the same manner that he recounts his deeds of valor in battle.
When the roughly 200 men of the Mariposa Battalion marched into Yosemite, armed with rifles, they did not find the Miwok eager for battle. While the Miwok hid, the militiamen sought to starve them into submission by burning their food stores, souring the valley’s air with the smell of scorched acorns. On one particularly bloody day, some of the men came upon an inhabited village outside the valley, surprising the Miwok there. They used embers from the tribe’s own campfires to set the wigwams aflame and shot at the villagers indiscriminately as they fled, murdering 23 of them. By the time the militia’s campaign ended, many of the Miwok who survived had been driven from Yosemite, their homeland for millennia, and forced onto reservations.
Thirty-nine years later, Yosemite became the fifth national park. (Yellowstone, which was granted that status in 1872, was the first.) The parks were intended to be natural cathedrals: protected landscapes where people could worship the sublime. They offer Americans the thrill of looking back over their shoulder at a world without humans or technology. Many visit them to find something that exists outside or beyond us, to experience an awesome sense of scale, to contemplate our smallness and our ephemerality. It was for this reason that John Muir, the father of modern conservationism, advocated for the parks’ creation.
More than a century ago, in the pages of this magazine, Muir described the entire American continent as a wild garden “favored above all the other wild parks and gardens of the globe.” But in truth, the North American continent has not been a wilderness for at least 15,000 years: Many of the landscapes that became national parks had been shaped by Native peoples for millennia. Forests on the Eastern Seaboard looked plentiful to white settlers because American Indians had strategically burned them to increase the amount of forage for moose and deer and woodland caribou. Yosemite Valley’s sublime landscape was likewise tended by Native peoples; the acorns that fed the Miwok came from black oaks long cultivated by the tribe. The idea of a virgin American wilderness—an Eden untouched by humans and devoid of sin—is an illusion.

So after many many many meta posts I’ve been reading about Aziraphale and Crowley, one of the big turning points in their relationship I haven’t seen mention much is Aziraphale finally calling Crowley that he “knows where the anti-Christ is”.
Tumblr media
We know the events leading up to this moment, and the devastating scene immediately after at the bookshop, but I feel it’s really worth highlighting that this a major change in Aziraphale’s and Crowley’s dynamic, namely this is the first time (that I could find) where Aziraphale went to Crowley after an argument.
For the majority of their relationship, Crowley is the initiator – he is the one that seeks out Aziraphale, for discussions or tries to get Aziraphale on board with his way of thinking (in modern era).
Garden of Eden – Crowley approaches Aziraphale
Mesopotamia – Crowley initiates the conversation
Golgotha – Crowley approaches Aziraphale again
Rome – The first time Aziraphale approaches Crowley
Wessex – Random chance (part of the ineffable plan)
The Globe Theatre – Aziraphale messages Crowley to join him at the the Globe Theatre, since Crowley comments that Aziraphale said “they would be inconspicuous here”
Bastille – Crowley saves Aziraphale
Victorian London – their first big fight, it’s implied Crowley is the one that calls Aziraphale here since he is the one requesting a favour, and ends up them both stating they didn’t need the other (first big fight)
WW2 – Crowley saves Aziraphale, Crowley hasn’t contacted or communicated with Aziraphale about being there since Aziraphale seems genuinely surprised at him appearing, and walking into desecrated ground!
1960s – Aziraphale approaches Crowley with the holy water
So as we see from the above timeline, its is established that Aziraphale CAN and WILL approach Crowley first (Rome, The Global Theatre and 1960s).
However, when they have their big fights, Crowley is the one that has to initiated the next conversation – Aziraphale, either from nervousness or fear from Heaven, does not seem willing to approach Crowley after an argument between them.
This is shown a few times over the course of the tv series as well when they have fights, Crowley is the one that has to restart their communication channels, or redirect so Aziraphale doesn’t leave.
Example 1) Victorian London to WW2 argument and resolution
Example 2) St James park in the first episode, after Crowley first proposes stopping Armageddon, Aziraphale intends to immediately leave
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Crowley is the one that has to restart the communication by purposefully choosing something he knows Aziraphale will agree with
Example 3) The band stand break up – Crowley is the one that walks away from the argument but Aziraphale does not contact him again. Crowley has approach him in the Bentley outside the bookshop as a last-ditch effort to convince him to leave with him to Alpha Centauri
Now it is very obvious that Crowley is an impulsive demon. He does not think beyond Step 1.
This is shown so many times from him since the beginning (he didn’t think it was that big a deal tempting Eve - he’s admitting he didn’t think through the full consequences of what he was doing), up to the start of the current story when he is given the anti-Christ. Crowley immediately drops off the anti-Christ at the nun hospital (probably because he was being monitored by lower management) but I also think it’s because he isn’t very capable of thinking more than one step ahead.
The logical thing would be to stop and try and speak to Aziraphale first before progressing the evil plan but he goes immediately to the nuns, and only after contacts Aziraphale, at which point they have to come up with a counter plan.
While Crowley is very good at coming up with plans and ideas in the moment, it’s never with a long term multi-step plan in mind. The only “goal” he has is staying with Aziraphale.
An example of this is like in the previous Band stand -> Alpha Centauri -> Cinema scene -> Last chance to convince Aziraphale (get in the car) sequence
Crowley calls Aziraphale, again initiating the contact. He tells Aziraphale to go to the 3rd meeting point, which Crowley has memorised but Aziraphale flusters which one is correct.
At this point Aziraphale KNOWS where the anti-Christ is but during their band stand break up scene, he explicitly says several things that he knows will hurt Crowley:
There is no “our side” – but Aziraphale slips up and says “not anymore”
They cannot just leave – but Aziraphale never says he doesn’t want to leave, but rather than "there is no where to go"
“A: I don’t even like you” “C: you doooo” – Aziraphale doesn’t deny it at all but deflects that he cannot work with him, not that he doesn’t like Crowley
Now, why is this important? Because Crowley is impatient but pays attention when Aziraphale talks, and in the moment he storms off, most likely because he knows he’s going to lose his temper, but he was listening during the conversation.
It’s shown consistently in their history that when Aziraphale tells him something, Crowley remembers it, no matter how trivial, as well as repeatedly mentioning throughout the story Aziraphale’s favourite things, so specifically he knows his favourite places, specific composers, foods and activities.
I strongly suspect after leaving, and having time to clear his head, Crowley would have noted what Aziraphale did and did not say, which gives him the main thing that keeps him attached to Aziraphale; hope that they could continue to be together.
Aziraphale wants to be with Crowley, but he cannot admit it yet. Normally, Crowley would give him what he needs, time to think which before has always worked with their last big argument in Victorian London. But now they do not have the luxury of waiting for Aziraphale to process things. Armageddon is coming.
Crowley returns to his flat and falls back on his normal habit. Coming up with a last minute, not thought out plan to be with Aziraphale and he comes up with – escape with Aziraphale somewhere else, namely Alpha Centauri.
This hasn’t been mentioned before as an option (at least I don’t remember it being mentioned as a feasible option) until the band stand scene. Why? Because Crowley probably just thought it up on the spot while talking to Aziraphale then (impulsive/not thinking beyond the next step).
And because it is not a thought-out plan, Crowley couldn’t present it to Aziraphale in the correct way which would normally work in getting Aziraphale on his side. Contrast with episode 1 re avert Armageddon, Crowley knew what to say and delay for time so he can work on Aziraphale to get him to agree. But in this instance, they don’t have time, Crowley didn’t know what to say to convince him (and it could be argued that he says the “wrong” thing in this instance by saying they have been “friends” for 6000 years), so Aziraphale dismisses it.
If the escape plan was an option 11 years ago at the start of this crisis, Crowley might have had enough time to convince Aziraphale, but he doesn’t right now, he’s just running on instinct and first thoughts are being acted out rather than thinking it through.
While Aziraphale says he doesn’t know where the anti-Christ is (a lie), Crowley has no reason not to believe him. Crowley could have kept trying to find the anti-Christ after Aziraphale says it is over, but now Crowley has abandoned all the previous plans to avert Armageddon to follow through with the new plan; running away with Aziraphale.
As soon as he found a likely candidate (and a little soul searching chat with God) he then goes… to a movie theatre? Why? The doomsday clock is ticking, and he’s wasting time in a movie theatre, what’s the motivation here?
Because he knows he has to give Aziraphale time to calm down. After every big fight in the past (and from the “you go too fast for me Crowley” comment) Crowley has learnt he has to give Aziraphale time to process his emotions before he approaches him again. He’s very conscious of not upsetting his angel, of not pushing too far as his biggest fear is Aziraphale never talking to him again.
It’s only after the movie scene and Hastur warns Crowley that Hell knows and is coming after him now that he impulsively goes to Aziraphale immediately. This is not following the rulebook the both of them have set over the millennia but Crowley is out of time and out of options, and in his desperation all he can do is follow the plan (the one-sided plan he’s made up on the spot in his head the day before) of get his angel and go to Alpha Centauri.
Aziraphale is most likely still reeling from their previous break up, and all the issues with Heaven’s indifference to the suffering the war will cause and his crisis of faith, when Crowley appears too soon and too forcefully.
Crowley opens with a pet name, apologises (badly) then very badly tries to emotionally manipulate Aziraphale to go with him now “work with me here, I’m apologising here, yes? Good, get in the car”.
The usual suave, manipulative Crowley is completely out of the window because of his distress, the only driving force is “get the angel, then get out”. Aziraphale hasn’t even spoken yet and Crowley has already had the entire conversation of “convincing” Aziraphale to get to his objective with himself.
Aziraphale, rather obviously, refuses but he says something extremely telling which again I think Crowley does not realise at the time since he calls Aziraphale stupid, but after leaving (and dramatic exit monologue because of the stress he is under) he would have realised what Aziraphale was saying.
Aziraphale was still trying to find solution for them – after saying there is no “our side”, after everything Aziraphale said during the band stand, he was still trying to find a way to avert Armageddon by “talking to the right people” and even trying to find a way to talk to the Almighty herself just to get this Armageddon thing “all straighten out”, showing to Crowley just how much Aziraphale cares about him and wants to be on Earth with him.
I don’t think Crowley realises until after these interactions what Aziraphale is saying, but we know the Crowley takes in pretty much everything Aziraphale says since he can quote their conversations from the past flashbacks, but given the stress Crowley is under and his own impulsive nature, he cannot process the conversations at the time so instead leaves but then takes the information on board when making his next move.
While driving back to his apartment, suddenly the plan has changed again, running away to the stars is out and now it is avert Armageddon again - by full on killing other demons.
Crowley is now throwing his full weight behind Aziraphale and their relationship, no more towing the line between Aziraphale and keeping Hell off his back. While Hell is now aware that Crowley has messed up, and coming for him, Crowley could probably find a way to slither his way out of this situation (No, I’m not apologising for the bad snake joke).
He could also have just left, he had enough time in his flat to set a trap with holy water and the water mister bluff, if he actually wanted to leave to the stars, he could have done.
But he chooses to instead kill (and/or at least hinder) his demon trackers to buy himself and Aziraphale time, all because Aziraphale has told him he is still trying with the original “stop Armageddon” plan. After everything that happened between them and all the hurt comments, Aziraphale is still trying and that is enough to convince Crowley not to run.
And then the big moment, Crowley has killed a demon with holy water, his bluff has been called with Hastur, and Aziraphale calls him “I know where the anti-Christ is”.
Aziraphale is saying he is now fully on “our [Crowley’s] side” – can we interpret it this way? Yes!
Aziraphale explicitly told Crowley that he would never tell him where the anti-Christ is even if he knew, because they are on opposite sides.
And now Aziraphale for the first time is approaching Crowley after (two) big arguments and giving him the single piece of information that shows he is with Crowley.
Crowley seems to have the utmost trust in Aziraphale, since he doesn’t even seem to think to question if Aziraphale is right or not, if the angel says he knows, then he knows!
After trapping Hastur, his first action (again, not thinking anything through) is to go straight to Aziraphale.
Why do I say he is not thinking things through? Because trapping Hastur in an answer machine message is which is literally playing a message showing he has betrayed Hell (rather than losing the anti-Christ being just a “cock up”) is stupid and keeping him alive as a witness means it is problem that Crowley has to sort out later.
But none of that matters, because his angel is on his side and Crowley’s only objective is to be with Aziraphale.
Which makes the bookshop scene even more devastating, can you imagine the joy Crowley must be feeling while driving to the bookshop (despite the circumstances)? Aziraphale has finally moved away from abusive Heaven, shown Crowley that he trusts him and is now firmly on "our side".
Crowley was playing “You're My Best Friend” by Queen which is a love song, probably thinking that Aziraphale and him still have a chance, that hope of averting Armageddon and being together on Earth for the foreseeable future.
But then, Aziraphale isn’t picking up his phone, which makes him on edge again and when he arrives, the bookshop is on FIRE.
He never once seems to think the Aziraphale has betrayed him i.e. returned to heaven to fight or run off himself without Crowley.
Crowley truly believes that someone has killed Aziraphale, as it is the only explanation in that moment, Aziraphale was ready to be with him, them against Heaven and Hell and there was no reason for him to not be in the bookshop and the bookshop not to be on fire unless the angel was dead.
His angel is dead, nothing stings more than having your hopes raised so high and for them to be shattered.
After this harrowing moment, Crowley goes to get drunk and just wait for the end of the world. There’s no more fight, no more plans, not even try and find Aziraphale’s murderer and get revenge – the only plan was to be with Aziraphale and with that gone, he has no interest to do anything else.
I won’t go into the bar drunk scene since that’s a whole analysis on its own, but after Crowley gets hope again, that Aziraphale (even in sceptre form) is still there, or a part of him, his first thought after their chat about the book was to get to him.
Crowley says “wherever you are, I’ll come to you, where are you?”
He doesn’t think beyond the first step, he has no idea where Aziraphale is or how any of it works, but it doesn’t matter to him. Crowley’s only thought is “get to Aziraphale”.
When Aziraphale says about meeting him at the airfield, Aziraphale is noticeably upset at this and questions “why?”, he doesn’t like the idea because it goes against his one plan. But what his angel wants, his angel gets and Crowley will be at that airfield, losing one of his most precious possession in the process as Aziraphale is the number one, and only, plan.

An Ineffable Meeting
This is my first time writing for Dream of the Endless, but I thought it turned out okay. This takes place after season one’s events, and is a crossover between The Sandman and Good Omens. As always characters are not mine, and I hope you all enjoy it!
Description: Morpheus and Y/N, who happens to be Anthony J. Crowley’s sibling, have been dating for a while. Morpheus thinks it’s time for him to meet Crowley, but Y/N is all too aware of how their brother can be
Warnings: suggestive at the end, otherwise none (but if you catch something that I missed please let me know!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Morpheus had witnessed countless beings and entities in both the Dreaming and the mortal realm. Some divine and others horrific, the many faces that the Lord of Dreams viewed seemed to blur after a century or two. However, he never expected that a demon would stand out the most to him.
After being ushered out of the Dreaming by Lucienne, Morpheus found himself seated on a park bench feeding the pigeons. Lucienne claimed that he had become overly stressed the past week, but Morpheus did not see the need for relaxation. A century of imprisonment created a void of pressing matters that could not possibly be ignored. Still, he found some enjoyment from the soot colored avians pecking away at his feet.
“You do know that pigeons prefer sourdough over a baguette, right?”
Morpheus looked to his left, annoyance etched on his face from being disturbed. His displeasure was replaced by curiosity as he took in the person before him. They appeared to be human, at least in the physical sense, but Morpheus was not naive. He could pick out a demon without a second glance, but for once in the several eons of his existence he did not feel the normal disgust that came with meeting members of Hell.
“Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I know these creatures on a very personal level, and they are incredibly picky about their bread.” The demon smiled at Morpheus as they pushed their aviator sunglasses up, the dark lenses preventing him from seeing their eyes. “The name’s Y/N, by the way.”
Morpheus observed the snake tattoo under Y/N’s right ear, the symbol oddly familiar to him, before rolling his eyes and focusing his attention on the birds once more. “It appears that they like this bread well enough.”
“You are rotten at introductions, Mr. Dark and Brooding.”
Morpheus was taken aback by the unexpected nickname. Did this demon who called themselves Y/N truly not comprehend that they were standing before one of the Endless? Y/N tilted their head as they smirked. “Do I know you from someplace? Where exactly have I seen you before?” They tapped their chin in contemplation before snapping their fingers triumphantly. “Twilight! That has to be it!”
“Perhaps you will recall my visit to Hell. Your sovereign, Lucifer Morningstar, called upon every demon to stand before me so I could find my stolen helm. You would have been among those numbers,” Morpheus stated coolly. “I am Morpheus, King of Dreams and ruler of the Nightmare Realm”
“Funny story that,” Y/N admitted with a nervous chuckle as they rubbed the back of their neck, “I may have skipped that call to go to a book signing. Hastur was pissed at me for weeks, but that uptight asshole got over it eventually. On the bright side, guess I can ditch these now, huh?” Y/N removed their sunglasses, and their serpentine eyes met the lighter ones of the dream lord. The realization hit Morpheus as he straightened his back against the bench. “You're a Crawley? The same to have infiltrated the Garden of Eden and tempt humanity. ”
“That was my brother, Anthony J. Crawley, but we go by Crowley now. We found it to be a better fit for us both.”
The chimes from the nearby clock tower located at the center of the park made Y/N jump. “Oh shit, I’m late! We will have to finish this conversation another time, Dream Lord.” The demon rushed off before Morpheus could even offer to take them where they wished to go.
***
That encounter had taken place half a year ago, and since then Morpheus and Y/N Crowley had formed a close bond. It had taken some time, for Morpheus was hesitant when it came to relationships. He was not new to partnerships, far from it in fact, but this relationship was not one that he wanted to lose. This was the reason that Morpheus had summoned Y/N to his throne room.
“Did you really miss me that much, darling,” Y/N quipped as they strutted across the marble floor that stretched in front of Morpheus’ throne. “You are lucky that I finished my demonic business this morning.”
Morpheus rose from his throne to meet the demon halfway, his coat floating gently with his movements. The corner of his lip raised slightly as he stood before Y/N. “Do you find gluing a penny to the sidewalk to be demonic work?”
“It’s the oldest trick in the book, and it has fooled many humans! There are countless times that-”
Morpheus silenced Y/N’s rant as he placed his lips against theirs. Y/N smiled through the kiss as they raised their hand to feel the soft ends of Morpheus’ dark hair. The two parted as Morpheus moved his hand to cradle Y/N’s cheek, his thumb caressing the skin there. His eyes glittered with adoration for his lover, but Y/N had learned every slight detail of his facial expressions. There was more to this look.
“Why are you acting so lovey dovey? I can tell by that look in your eyes that there has to be another reason for calling me here, Dream King.” Y/N’s eyebrows furrowed as they tried to deduce what Morpheus could possibly be up to, and the demon caught on to his plan. Y/N shook their head in disagreement as their slitted eyes averted to the floor. “No, no! Absolutely not! We can’t do this now, Morpheus.”
Y/N only ever used Morpheus’ name when they were serious, but he pursued the idea nonetheless. “If not now, then when? We cannot delay this any longer, my love. By now Crowley is more than aware of our relationship, and he will be expecting to meet the one who is with his sibling.”
Y/N could not meet the icy blue eyes that pleaded with them to give in. The demon always crumbled if they looked into his eyes. “I-I just don’t know how he will react. You are one of the Endless, the greatest beings on this or any plane of existence, and to bring someone so powerful around my brother…he may feel threatened.”
“Then I will reassure him that I am capable of loving you despite my reputation and my position. Please, Y/N, arrange a meeting with Crowley.”
Morpheus rested his forehead against Y/N’s, and he felt their shoulders relax. “Fine, but only if you are on your best behavior.”
Morpheus smiled, a rare occurrence that seemed to happen more frequently when he was with Y/N, and he placed a quick but sweet kiss on the end of the demon’s nose. “Only the best for you, my little serpent.”
***
Morpheus and Y/N walked arm in arm down the London street, which was surprisingly empty despite the warm rays of the sun shining down upon them. Y/N was wearing their classic aviators just in case a human happened to pass by, but even the dark lenses did not stop them from taking in Morpheus. How was it possible that this gorgeous being was with a low level demon like them? With that spiky hair that was soft to the touch and eyes that reflected the afternoon light, even the small wrinkles that formed around his eyes as a gentle grin rested on his face. He could be with anyone in existence. Yet, here he was, fully devoted to them and only them. Y/N squeezed Morpheus’ arm as they pressed closer to him, their own smile forming despite the nerves bubbling in their stomach. “We are almost there. Are you sure that you want to do this? We can turn back if you want.” Y/N tried to plant their feet in the ground and move back the way they came, but Morpheus held them close.
“Yes, I want to do this. There is nothing to fear, and everything will be well.” Morpheus intertwined his fingers with Y/N’s as they strolled the final length to their destination. The sign above the corner shop read, A.Z. Fell and Co., and the door was answered by a curly haired blonde before the couple even had the chance to knock.
“Oh Y/N, it is such a pleasure to see you again! It is also a pleasure to make your acquaintance Mr. Morpheus, or Lord Morpheus if you would prefer? Of course I can use any term that you would like…” The man who opened the door continued to ramble as he fiddled with his tie.
“Please,” Morpheus stated, “Morpheus will suffice, I assure you.”
“Brilliant! Oh, I do apologize for not introducing myself. My name is Aziraphale, and I own this little shop. Please, do come inside. Your brother is waiting in the parlor.” Aziraphale stepped aside to let the couple in before rushing off to the kitchen. Y/N escorted Morpheus through the thin path that weaved between stacks and shelves of books, many of which were covered in dust. The two entered the parlor, and Y/N braced themselves for what was to come next.
“Hello, brother dear! Hope you and Aziraphale left plenty of dessert for us. Your sweet tooth has stolen many delicious treats from me,” Y/N spoke as they hugged Crowley.
“Angel is the one with the sweet tooth, little Sis, not me. I did manage to save you some this time, though.” Crowley wrapped his arms around Y/N briefly before turning towards Morpheus. Crowley reluctantly offered his hand, a glare evident despite the sunglasses he wore. “Morpheus, I presume?”
Morpheus clasped the hand that was presented to him. “You are correct, Mr. Crowley.”
“Don’t call me, “Mr. Crowley”, it sounds like that bloody Ozzy Osbourne song. Crowley is fine.”
“As you wish, Crowley.”
Crowley moved back to his previous spot while Y/N and Morpheus sat on the couch opposite of the one he was on. Y/N removed their sunglasses and placed them on the table. “You can take yours off too, brother. I promise you that Morpheus is not one to judge.” Crowley took off his sunglasses with an audible groan, clearly wishing to keep them on. “That’s surprising considering he is one of the Endless.”
“Hold your tongue,” Morpheus growled. If looks could kill, Crowley would have been disincorporated instantly. Y/N began to fiddle with their hands, a clear sign that they were uncomfortable with the conflict, and upon noticing their movements, Morpheus moved his hand to encompass their own. “What I meant to say was that my siblings and myself have been portrayed as heartless beings who do not care for others. This is nothing but a rumor, and I have been looking forward to meeting you, Crowley.”
Y/N was put at ease by the new reply, but Crowley was still very tense. “I’ll go see where Azi is with those desserts,” Y/N mumbled quickly as they clamored into the kitchen. Surely, Aziraphale would be able to help their brother relax. In the meantime, this left Morpheus and Crowley alone in the parlor.
“Your sibling means a great deal to me. My life remained stagnant before they arrived, and now I could not see my future without them. The Dreaming prospers more than ever, and I believe it is due to them being by my side.” Morpheus meant every word he said, but Crowley wasn’t buying it.
“I’ve heard all this before. “ ‘Y/N is my world’ this, and ‘I would never hurt Y/N’ that. Well, they did hurt her. You will be the same.” Crowley sat with his arms crossed as Morpheus began to feel agitated.
“Why do you assume that I would dare to hurt Y/N? They have told me about the past and the lovers who have harmed them, and I am showing them the love they deserve and should have received long ago.”
“I assume these things because you are one of the Endless!” Crowley was standing now, his face matching the fiery color of his hair. “Beings like you take what they please and then throw it out just as quick! That will not happen to Y/N. Not on my watch.”
Morpheus pushed himself up and stepped towards Crowley. Even though the Dream Lord towered over Crowley, the demon did not budge. Y/N and Aziraphale entered with the desserts. “Look! Aziraphale ordered those mini pies that I adore,” Y/N said giddily. The chipper sound of their voice caused both Crowley and Morpheus to snap their heads towards them.
“Oh, I told Angel that you would enjoy having some of those,” Crowley replied with a shrug as he backed away from Morpheus. Aziraphale escorted Crowley to sit, his soft expression counter to the grimace that Crowley still wore. Morpheus was still standing as Y/N passed him a mini pie. “You must try this, my darling. These are absolutely to die for!”
Morpheus felt a wave of calm at the melodic sound of his lover’s voice, and he took the pastry with a smile. “Thank you, but I have no doubt that this human dessert does not compare to the sweetness you show me every waking hour.”
Y/N blushed as they scurried over to sit on the sofa again. Aziraphale could not contain his joy as he looked between Morpheus and Y/N. Crowley on the other hand was making no attempts to hide the rage he felt towards Morpheus, the unspoken actions of their broken up disagreement on the verge of exploding from him. Morpheus sent back a displeased glare of his own.
“Did I miss something?” Y/N asked.
“Other than Morpheus proving my point, no,” Crowley sneered as he reached for his own mini pie. Aziraphale swatted his hand, causing him to gape at his normally peaceful boyfriend. “What was that for?!”
“You know what it was for, Crowley,” Aziraphale commented sternly. “Morpheus is our guest, and it is obvious that Y/N is smitten with him, so please behave yourself, dear.”
The sip of champagne that Y/N had attempted to take almost ended up all over their brother sitting across from them. “Azi, you are too kind.”
Y/N shot a look at Crowley, catching him and Morpheus competing for dominance in a staring contest. That was the last straw. “Would you two knock it off! This is precisely why I didn’t want to bring Morpheus here in the first place!”
“How do you know you can trust him? I will not let you be hurt again, especially by an eternal being with a stick up his ass!”
“Morpheus, we are leaving.” Y/N angrily put on their sunglasses, hiding the tears of frustration that threatened to fall from their golden eyes. Crowley knew that he upset his sibling, and that familiar twinge of guilt took over. “Y/N, please, I didn’t mean it-,”
“Crowley, if I may,” Morpheus interjected. “I understand your apprehension about me. In the past I was unkind to many beings and closed myself off from the world, but I swear to you that is no longer who I am.” Morpheus grabbed Y/N’s hand, his eyes soft and welcoming. Y/N accepted and leaned into their lover. “My life is no longer filled with sorrow now that Y/N is with me. I do not wish to cause them more pain, but I will be the one to heal their broken soul.”
Y/N gave a short laugh. “I don’t have a soul, Morpheus, but I appreciate the kind words, love.” Morpheus feigned offense, but the way the corner of his lip curved upwards revealed how he truly felt. Crowley, after listening to the words of the Dream Lord, understood why their sibling fell for him in the first place. The red head let out a defeated sigh. “Fine, I may have jumped the gun a little here,” Crowley admitted. Aziraphale nudged Crowley in the ribs, urging the demon to keep up his apology. “And I am glad that you will be there for my sibling, Morpheus.”
Y/N smiled now that the tension evaporated, and both Crowley and Morpheus were equally happy to see them so pleased. The rest of the afternoon was filled with laughter and Crowley telling as many embarrassing stories about Y/N as he could. After the sun disappeared and the onyx sky spread over the earth, Y/N and Morpheus stepped out of the bookshop.
Aziraphale waved excitedly from the entryway, Crowley’s arm resting securely around his waist. “Please do visit again, you too! Next time I will cook a proper meal!”
“We will be back soon, Aziraphale! Love you, big brother!” Y/N called back as sand swooped around them and Morpheus.
“Love you too, Y/N, and don’t be too flirty with my sister, Morpheus, or I will come to the Dreaming and deal with you myself!” Crowley threatened with a smirk. The sand already engulfed the two beings before Morpheus could throw his own witty quip, but that did not stop him from telling it to Y/N as they stood before his throne. “Your brother is quite the character. He reminds me of Desire, but he is much more tolerable than them.”
“That tiff you had with Crowley says otherwise, and I am not sure if I have forgiven you entirely.” Y/N crossed their arms and turned their back to Morpheus, a playful smile unrevealed to Dream. Y/N was caught off guard when Morpheus scooped up the demon and moved to his throne. He sat down and placed Y/N onto his lap before layering a row of kisses up their neck. Morpheus stopped when he reached Y/N’s ear.
“Do not forget who rules this realm. Still, I do not wish for you to leave here upset.” Morpheus pulled back, his eyes darker and full of yearning. “Allow me to show you how genuinely sorry I am, my beautiful serpent.”

Aziraphale and Crowley Timeline
I made a timeline of the Aziraphale and Crowley relationship based on the TV show, book, stage directions, and Neil Gaiman’s blog. It was designed to track negative space and off-screen interactions for the purposes of fic writing, so maybe other fic writers would enjoy it. Please add anything I missed. I’ll edit as necessary.
Before the Beginning — Nebula rollout
Aziraphale shares his name with a heavy implication that they have not met before.
Crowley tells Nina and Maggie, “We’ve been talking for millions of years,” implying some sort of relationship before Crowley’s fall.
Sunday, October 21, 4004 B.C. at 9:13 a.m. — The creation of the universe
4004 B.C., "just after the beginning" — The Garden of Eden
Crowley (Crawly) tells Aziraphale his new name, which implies minimal interaction since Crowley’s fall. They were aware of each other’s presence in the garden as evidenced by Crowley having noticed the flaming sword.
3004 B.C., Mesopotamia — Noah’s Ark
Crowley follows up on the flaming sword, which implies but does not confirm that they haven’t interacted since Eden.
[3004 BC - 2500 BC: NO INTERACTION as evidenced by Aziraphale’s comment, “I haven’t seen you since the flood.”
2500 B.C., Land of Uz — Job
2000 B.C., Sodom and Gomorrah
It’s confirmed from the TV show that Aziraphale was present (as evidenced by their comment about Sandalphon’s participation)
It’s confirmed from the book that Crowley was not present and did not visit afterwards.
[800 BC - 200 BC: Deleted scene from TV show, Arabian Nights-inspired]
33 A.D., Golgotha — The crucifixion
41 A.D., Rome — Aziraphale runs into Crowley
537 A.D., Kingdom of West Essex — Crowley suggests they stop working just to cancel each other out
[1020 A.D. (BOOK CANON) — Arrangement (non-interference) is established. Then, they extend the arrangement to “hold the fort” for one another.]
[1023 A.D. (BOOK CANON) — Crowley comes back to argue that you need to start people off equal in order to let them choose between good and evil, equivalent of The Resurrectionists in the TV series.]
[1400s: “Papal” scene, cut from TV show]
[1567 A.D. — Mary Queen of Scots dies, this scene was cut and converted to The Resurrectionists]
[1556 AD - 1598 AD (BOOK CANON): Crowley is in Spain when he receives a commendation for the Spanish Inquisition. He checks it out then comes back and gets drunk for a week. Time range is evidenced by the line, “That Hieronymus Bosch,” who is a painter who inspired King Phillip II.]
1601, Globe Theatre, London — Hamlet
CONFIRMED: Multiple interactions between Wessex (537 AD) and now as evidenced by Crowley’s statement that they’ve covered for each other “dozens of times now.”
1650, Unknown — First “I Was Wrong” dance (performed by Aziraphale)
[1600 - 1800, United States: A scene set during the Wild West, cut from TV show]
1793, Paris — The French Revolution
A recent interaction is implied by Crowley saying, “I thought you were opening a bookshop.”
1800, London — The bookshop opens (confirmed that it opened “a couple years” after Mr. Hatchard in Piccadilly, founded 1797)
[Book — Crowley is asleep through most of the 19th century, gets up in 1832 for bathroom]
1820s, U.K. — Aziraphale’s diary excerpt, in which he mentions that he told Crowley the story “afterwards” (although “afterwards” can be a very long time for two immortal beings so it doesn’t confirm much)
1827, Edinburgh  — The Resurrectionists
[Confirmed: “It was the last I was to see of Crowley for quite some time.”]
1862, St. James Park, London — Crowley requests holy water
Their understanding of the agreement is, “Stay out of each other’s way. Lend a hand when needed.”
[1862 - 1941: NO INTERACTION as evidenced by the stage directions that Aziraphale has not seen Crowley in a hundred years.]
1941, London
[1960s: cut scene set in America, note: both female-presenting]
1967, Soho — Aziraphale gets holy water for Crowley
2008, U.K. — Antichrist is born
2013, U.S. — Crowley and Aziraphale both begin work for the Dowlings
[“The story starts, as it will end, in a garden” — although technically garden is no longer where it started]

The biblical end times - Millennium.
A future vision of the 1000-year reign of Christ. TOWL 103
Tumblr media
So, I've always said that TWD is using the bible and very specifically the biblical end time events as a template for the show.
Episode 3 didn't disappoint in giving us some major biblical end times symbolism.
Overall, the whole premise of The Walking Dead is in fact biblical.
The concept is just a reworked version of fallen humanity in need of a saviour/cure.
The Zombies are a representation of fallen humankind, walking around, unaware, that they are the walking dead.
As Rick says, "We're all infected," and death without a cure brings about a state of undying permanent death.
Knowing this is the template they are using can really unlock the symbolism in the show.
It also guarantees that they will eventually bring a cure, through most likely Beth who has been marked as Jesus.
I've already talked about how the CRM rings are a depiction of the Trinity. They are called Borromean rings. They symbolically represent the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So CRM=God.
103 TOWL gives us a glimpse into a shadow of the future.
We see Rick enter into the "Millennium park"
Tumblr media
What is the biblical millennium?
It's described as the thousand year reign of Christ when he returns. It begins after the battle of Armageddon.
The millennium is a time when the earth is restored to a garden of Eden like state. (The beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning)
Hence, the focus here, as Rick is about to enter, is on a garden/park, and it's all powered by the CRM (God)
We even get a representation of the Trinity in the wind turbines powering the garden, all while the millennium park sign is in the background behind Rick.
Tumblr media
It's a time of abundance and peace.
Again, the focus when Rick enters is also on the abundance of produce, and yes, we instantly see a Beth (Christ) lookalike.
With French beret...
Tumblr media
Jadis gives us more hints about this millennium. She says they have a 500-year plan to remake the world better than before.
Tumblr media
To recreate the world and finally beat death.
Tumblr media
Since the millennium is known as the 1000-year reign of Christ, and we just saw the millennium sign, plus a Beth (Christ) lookalike. Jadis' "besting death" comment is drawing from this bible verse...
1 Corinthians 15:54-57 O Hades, where is your victory? ' The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jesus Christ has conquered death.
Before Jadis entered into the millennium, she explained that she would take lost souls and give them to the CRM (God).
Tumblr media
Now, if you remember back to Daryl Dixon episode 1, it's called Lost Soul (Lame Perdue), and Daryl's journey has very much been a spiritual journey to find Beth, just like he found Isabelle in that lost soul episode.
It's also why the episode Find Me with Leah was all about finding Beth.
or...as Aaron puts it. "Good news."
Tumblr media
"I have Good News"
I've mentioned before how Aaron saying the term "good news" right as the music box plays is SIGNIFICANT.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ means Good News.
So, finding Jesus Christ is finding the "good news" and, by extension, Beth. That is why Aaron says those exact words when the music box plays.
Tumblr media
Daryl, as the lost soul, is on a journey to find the "Good news." 🎶 🎵 📦
Jadis mentions quite a few more biblical references before the end of the episode, including saying...
"I'm a believer", and "We're the last light of the world" 🌎
Tumblr media
We also see the consignee talking with Michonne, saying they are on the doorstep to paradise. (The millennium)
Tumblr media
The separation of the sheep 🐑 and the goats 🐐
One other aspect of the millennium they are reworking in TOWL is the theme of the A's and B's.
There are conditions of entry into the millennium kingdom after the battle, and it's known as the separation of the sheep 🐑 and the goats 🐐
The idea of A's and B's comes from this verse...
Matthew 25.31
All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
The sheep, the followers, or believers will be granted entry into the Millennium after the battle of Armageddon.
And no surprise, we see Jadis and Rick walk past a sheep 🐑 sign to add another link to the chain.
Tumblr media
Goats are not allowed into the kingdom.
In this context, being a goat or "Greatest of all time" indicates a mindset of thinking you are god, and want to be in power, or be the leader.
Which is why Satan fell and got kicked out of heaven in the first place. He wanted to be God...
Isaiah 14.13
You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. 14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High."
It's also why you may have seen Satan represented by the symbolism of a goat 🐐 or Baphomet.
The A & B theme has a dual and opposite meaning.
While we have been presented with its meaning in the show being related to the A's = Strong/leaders and the B's = Survivors/followers.
It's actually another take on the conditions of entry into the millennium kingdom.
Only the B's or Believers will be able to enter and will be the ones who live...
While the A's or Apostates/goats won't be granted entry.
The battle of Armageddon that proceeds the millennium.
The reason it's called the battle of Armageddon is because the battle will take place in the Valley of Megiddo.
You have already seen a depiction of the battle of Armageddon in TWD. You just might not realise it, I'll show you soon...
The battle of Armageddon is where the nations of the earth gather to try and destroy God (CRM)
Revelation 16.14
Demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.
‭‭Revelation 16:16
Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
In season 9, we saw the last battle against the Saviours, and it was a representation of this battle. The Saviours war was fought in a representation of that valley.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They chose that filming location to depict the Valley of Magiddo.
Tumblr media
After the battle, Satan is locked up for the 1000-years.
Here is one verse they are pulling from about Satan, the 1000-year millennium at the end of the battle.
Revelation 20.1-6
And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended.
So... Satan is bound and locked up for the 1000 years (goats won't enter) after the battle of Armageddon, which he loses.
After the war with The Saviours, who got locked up and spent a long time locked away in the "pit"?
Negan!
Yes, Negan was symbolically Satan. His weapon of choice is called Lucille, a play on Lucifer.
Tumblr media
Not long after that battle, and Negan getting locked up, Rick gets taken away into the millennium...
Now, just like Negan was let out of prison, Satan, too, is released after a long period of time.
‭‭Revelation 20:7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison.
So, Negan getting out of prison was a rework of Satan getting released.
Thoughts on...
The cure - Echelon - Phamakon - Mark of the Beast.
The Echelon briefing will be related to a cure, and it's connected to pharmakeia or pharmacy (a drug).
Again, as I've mentioned, we are repeating seasons 1 and 5 combined.
The CDC in season 1 of TWD, was a failed hope for a pharmacological cure that ends up burning.
Whereas season 5 gave us Beth as Christ sacrificing her blood.
Tumblr media
As i mentioned above, Jesus defeats death. Is the cure through death and blood sacrifice, and in the show that will come through Beth.
That cure will grant entry into the millennial kingdom.
So there will be two "cures" presented. One will be real, and one will be fake or poison, as Major Beale said to Rick.
Tumblr media
Phamakon means cure AND poison, and they are related to the word pharmacy.
The thing is, if the biblical end times is the template they're following, and it is, then there is another kingdom at play here, the Millennial Kingdom of Christ and the other kingdom is the kingdom of the beast.
The kingdom of the beast is the ruling kingdom prior to the millennium, it's this kingdom that causes the world to come and fight against God in the battle of Armageddon.
The two kingdoms are mirror inverted images of each other.
The other condition of entry into the millennium is to have NOT taken the Mark of the Beast - the mark of the Antichrist.
Revelation 20.4
I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
The mark of the beast is forced on all people of the world prior to the battle of Armageddon...
‭‭Revelation 13:17
And it makes everyone — small and great, rich and poor, free and slave — to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark: the beast’s name or the number of its name.
During the kingdom of the beast or the Antichrist kingdom, if you don't receive the Mark of the Beast, you won't be able to buy and sell, and you will be killed. Ultimately you won't be a part of the Antichrist Kingdom if you don't bow the knee and become a follower.
Its the inverse to the millennium kingdom where you will also have to be a follower.
The conditions of entry are almost identical into each kingdom but one will bring a real cure while one bring a poison.
The Kingdom of the antichrist also has a trinity, it includes the Antichrist, the beast and the false prophet.
Antichrist kingdom ♾️ Millennial kingdom.
This episode (103) is called "Bye", a callback to Beth's "Glad I didn't say goodbye" remark, but it's also a hint at buying and selling aka the mark of the beast.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here we see in the millennial kingdom a sign depicting buying, selling and trading, of the abundance of produce available to those who were granted entry into the kingdom. The condition of entry again was to take the real cure and be a follower of the real Christ (Beth)
In complete opposition and fulfillment of beginning to end, the beast kingdom will only allow in those who bow to the fake cure and the fake Christ, but it's a poison...
When Major Beale mentioned Pharmakon, my eyes 👀 flew out of my head because of this verse from the book of Revelation...
Rev 18.23
‭‭The light of a lamp will never shine in you again; and the voice of a groom and bride will never be heard in you again. All this will happen because your merchants were the nobility of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.
The word “sorcery” used here is translated from the Greek word pharmakeia. This is where we get our word pharmacy.
The bible mentions powerful people using Pharmacy and deceiving the whole world just before the millennium.
So, while a pharmacy drug will be presented as a cure, it will actually be a deception. Like Major Beale said, Pharmakon cure is poison.
Revelation 19.20
And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
Just like in season one at the CDC, it's false hope of a cure burns. 🔥 🔥 🔥 Along with the mark of the beast.
Tumblr media
We did get two hints at the CDC, one of the real cure and one of the fake cure BTW.
Dr Jenner says a blood test is the condition of entry.
Tumblr media
So...blood is the condition of entry 🤔 that will come through the blood of Christ.
We see a representation of this with Andrea (Beth) giving blood. She's the only one we actually see giving blood.
Tumblr media
We also saw a representation of the fake cure and it's end result. When Dr Jenner locks them in the CDC he presses 3 digits on a keypad.
Tumblr media
999
‭‭Revelation 13:18
This calls for wisdom: Let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, because it is the number of a person. Its number is 666.
Him locking them in (The beast Kingdom) activates the self destruction that leads to the CDC burning.
Revelation 19.20
And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
It is not a coincidence that the outbreak that causes the end of the world, began with a drug in the form of an injection...and the CDC burns 🔥 after a failed attempt at a cure.
💉 👀 beginning to end.
Now, this show likes to repeat, reverse, and invert the story over and over.
They are giving a mix of this end time symbolism to both the good guys and the bad guys deliberately.
But we will eventually see all groups come together to fight the CRM.
We are on a collision course with a bigger, badder, and better version of that battle of Armageddon, but this time with Beth included.
Because yes, this story is still all about her.
I liken her to the Holy Ghost of the Trinity right now. Because even though she's not present on the show, if you're aware, she's influencing every aspect of it.
Jesus Christ (Beth) is coming soon.

just woke up from sleeping for 11 hours, during which time I had a dream about being involved in a massive worldwide scavenger hunt that was apparently a yearly event. Rough timeline of events:
- met a guy at... some kind of cafe on a mountain? Who ran a solar power plant nearby. Discussed art with him and apparently he was a former animator. Organized a figure drawing session together. Briefly discussed another solar plant nearby called "The Garden Of Eden" ???
- figure drawing session located in some kind of dollhouse miniatures market. Lots of tiny furniture, model was a lady I know IRL weirdly. She had like a Victorian dress on it was pretty cool
-accompanying a lawyer to a cafe in some kind of weird alternate version of the current town I live in. Cafe was in an area with a bunch of doctors offices and stuff. Owner of the cafe had a very determined opinion that a man who had lived above the cafe was innocent of a murder he'd been accused of. Cafe owner had a big family including twin great grsnddaughters who were dressed as horror movie characters (they were like 6) Ate a chocolate pastry from this cafe, then helped with cleaning dishes. Cafe owner's big family helped with cleaning also. Everyone there got a text message stating that they were now scavenger hunt participants. I team up with the granddaughter of the cafe owner, a girl a bit younger than me.
- interlude about an Argentinian art collective whose street performance art had gotten co opted by Anonymous
-scavenger hunt time! Was in some location that was like..... a surreal dream version of New York? I think the cafe was still there but all the buildings around it had changed. There was one that had a bunch of interesting architectural tricks to make it seem super tall, but was currently under renovation, that we had to take a bunch of photos if for the scavenger hunt. There was also an old sign factory
- we had these lanyard bracelets where a section would light up whenever we found something, ours were green I guess we were on the green team?
- went through a shortcut tunnel from a team meeting to somewhere called "Oranger street" that looked vaguely French
- somehow ended up at a job interview at a disney park imagineering workshop, comparing a bunch of apparently randomized wood pieces. Found "one of Disney's kids" named Happy who was super old but very affable, talked with him about animation history. The wood pieces thing got revised to them cutting a big chunk of wood into a bunch of sticks and we had to try to put it back together in order to gain access to "the private Manatee room". I figured out how to get that access without winning the challenge
and that's where I woke up. WEIRD ONE

Garden of Eden, Arches National Park (No. 3)
Balanced Rock is one of the most popular features of Arches National Park, situated in Grand County, Utah, United States. Balanced Rock is located next to the park's main road, at about 9.2 miles (14.8 km) from the park entrance. It is one of only a few prominent features clearly visible from the road.
The total height of Balanced Rock is 128 feet (39 m), with the balancing rock rising 55 feet (16.75 m) above the base. This rock is the largest of its kind in the park, weighing approximately 3,577 tons, the same as an icebreaker ship or 27 blue whales. Balanced Rock had a smaller sibling named "Chip-Off-the-Old-Block" that collapsed in the winter of 1975–76, the eventual fate of this feature as well.
There is also a short loop trail leading around the base of the rock.

What do I want from life? I want what I had when I was little.
I want a green neighborhood full of friends.
I want bike rides in the park and messy chalk hands from drawing flowers on the sidewalk.
I want hot chocolate waiting in the lodge after I run my sled over a bump and fall face-first into the snow.
I want lush gardens full of colorful flowers, and I want to wander them with my friends and pretend we’re lost in the wild and eat chives and wild strawberries.
I want fresh plum jam made from the trees in the front yard. I want one of those trees to grow horizontally after a storm blew it over, and to still produce fruit and provide shade for an Eden of hostas and ginger.
I want a swing.
I want to run over cobblestones singing nonsense and getting sunburned and falling and scraping my knee.
I want to dance in the sprinklers until I’m soaked through.
I want to catch fireflies in jars and release a terrific burst of light when I let them go.
I want a fairy garden of small plants and little stone frogs.
I want to go ice skating on a makeshift rink made by pouring water over a flat section of the park on a particularly cold day.
I want family friends with a weeping willow where I’ll hide with my closest friends and trade secrets.
I want a watermelon dress.
I want to pick dandelion flowers before they go to seed, to help keep them from spreading like my mom had me do. I want a field of dandelion flowers in water glasses pouring over the kitchen counter and monopolizing the windowsills more than they did the yard.
I want to get dressed up for orchestra concerts and fall asleep while someone drives me home.
I want to hear my dad playing “Beauty and the Beast” on the pump organ. Whether he’s there, whether the organ’s there, I want a place that feels so much like home that I can hear him.
I want piano recitals that were really just salons, where everyone sat on the floor of our teacher’s home and there were cookies and punch to feed an army.
I want joy and laughter and sunlight. I want pain that is fleeting and moments of sadness that belong to an overall state of contentment. I want love, and I want life.
Above all, I want life.
