Milk theory? 👁️👁️

ANYTHING FOR YOU TWO!!!!

ok this is gonna be short and mildly insane. i would like everyone to understand that this is pretty much Entirely unfounded & i'm just reading too much into a teeny little thing. however i've convinced myself that this theory is viable against all better judgement

take these mad ramblings with a Monumental grain of salt. im not to be taken seriously ever

so it all boils down to This

Little

Motherfucker.

the milk carton behind Barnaby's house.

it was added with the last large update, and it Immediately made me lose my mind. it's such a... strange thing to add to the map, which already has Teeny Secrets - along with other choice objects that make me narrow my eyes. but this isn't about them.

The very first thing I thought of when I saw the milk carton was the phrase "no use crying over spilled milk". which, of course, essentially means that there's no point in crying over things you can't change / things already done. There are a couple ways i'm interpreting it with this context

Something is going to happen that Barnaby feels personally responsible for. or is responsible for - either indirectly, or maybe he'll do something terrible. i think it's entirely possible that he might do that possible something for Wally. and again, take this with salt, but Clown has implied through trivia and fun hypotheticals that Barnaby would go to lengths for Wally. and yes, i know. taking evidence from "what would the neighbors do in Among Us" is absurd. IN MY DEFENSE! while the trivia isn't really to be taken seriously, there's always a thought process behind character roles and dynamics and behavior, and that is something that can be (carefully) looked into and applied. like in Among Us, apparently Barnaby would, and i quote, "Barnaby does all the Dirty work if Wally is an Impostor- Anything to help his little Buddy out...". anything to help his little buddy out, huh? like, it's been stated that Barnaby knows things about Wally that no one else does. and it's been mildly implied that he's fairly protective of Wally. and we all know that Wally is getting into some deep shit, and whether he means to or not he's likely gonna fuck everything up for everyone. it's not that big of a leap to speculate that Barnaby might do something drastic/horrible/regret-worthy in Wally's name / for his sake.

2. something terrible is going to happen to Barnaby / directly related to Barnaby, and he's going to be absolutely powerless to do anything about it. though i think that's kind of a given... yeah this section is pretty self explanatory

3. Barnaby is going to go missing. because what used to be on milk cartons? Missing Posters! yes yes i know this one is even more of a reach, since milk cartons didnt have missing posters on them till the 80s, but yk. it's a Thought.

my second thought was "oh ok so when the carton spills, it's curtains for Barnaby." this part of the theory is just me being paranoid that Barnaby is going to wind up kicking the bucket - though i suppose if that were the case, there would be a bucket, not milk. well, if a bucket ever appears, i'm going to start prematurely mourning. Still!

the point is - at some point, that milk is probably gonna spill. it may be just a detail as things get better Worse, or it could be indicative of something terrible happening to / because of Barnaby. the milk spills, Panic Time.

Milk Theory.

#good omens #´hello friends!! how are you!! #I hope you're doing well! ( ´ ▽ ` ) #I have a big cough but otherwise I am good! It's nothign bad I am just very slimey #usually I am not a cough person I am not sure where this is coming from #most of the time I just get a stuffy nose #has my nose gotten stronger #but there are good news too I have already found a VERY good chestnut to put into my pocket this autumn!! its very small! (❁´▽`❁) #it's been a very warm autumn in Germany so far so it has not really felt like fall yet #but yesterday it was all rainy and stormy and I had two new books and it was the best day possible to have a slimey cough (: #and now I feel SO much autumn I am close to buying a set of window colors #I do not know what I would to with the window colors I just have this strong urge in me to buy a window color set #the last time I did a window color was at the birtday of a class mate I think she turned 9 and I made a deer #but for some reason we did this craft 5 minutes before we all had to leave so we had to carry our window color deer home wet #unfortunatly for the deer and me I fell down the stairs of her house and smeared the deer all over me and i screamed the entire drive home #which wasn't very long but it probably felt very long for the mother who had a screaming child covered in window color deer inside her car

The way Azirphale is underestimated and practically infantalized by heaven is so closely tied to his femininity and I think we should talk about it more because I just want to shout about how relatable the way he's treated in his workplace is as a woman working in a traditionally male field

It's in all the little niggling comments from your boss about personal things that hold no bearing on your work

and the assumption that what you're doing must be simple if it was assigned to you

your work is trivialized

and you get these the placating smiles when you're told plans and proposals are rejected and passed over

or when your complaints are dismissed

and you get more of the same from upper management

it all feels so frustrating and draining but you're at work so all you can do is take a breathe put on that mask and move on with your day

It is all so deteimental to your emotional well being and textually, so much of this is tied to Aziraphale's softness, his gayness - his femininity

The thing about working in an environment and gives you this feeling - of being simultaneously destrought watching your belief in yourself get chipped away but also just so irate becuase you know you don't deserve it - is how it builds. It sinks under your skin and feeds into this indignant dejection until you can have a moment of release - but Azirphale doesn't get to bitch about it over drinks with friends, he doesn't get a lunch break where he can go for a walk and listen to an angry scandi death metal playlist, he doesn't even get the chance to cry about it in the bathroom for 5 minutes before confronting it again

(And I talked a little bit about it in the tags of this beautiful photoset but this all comes into play whenever Crowley dismisses his plans or calls him an idiot. These are purely emotional reactions; I really don't think Crowley means much by it - he respects Aziraphale's opinion and genuinely thinks he's brilliant - but Crowley is so quick to use this terminology when Aziraphale is making a decision Crowley thinks is wrong and he doesn't know how much this hurts Aziraphale. Just like Aziraphale doesn't understand the true impact the Fall had on Crowley, Crowley doesn't understand the ways heaven has been tearing away at Aziraphale's self worth)

Aziraphale has been facing this constant drip of denigration since before the beginning of time and has never released the pressure valve. At this point, he's a bomb waiting to go off

#(I want to note that I am coming at this from my personal experience as a woman #but I know femme neurodivergent and disabled folks of all genders face these same issues) #along similar lines I have tons of feelings about how often Aziraphale hides his hands when talking to other angels #to hide his stimming #and look I try not to tie everything back to explaning why Aziraphale ended s2 the way he did but apparently I can't #its just the juiciest character moment to me #also thinking about how angry Crowley was at Gabriel when he was treated like this once #granted shut up and die already IS the worst thing Gabriel has said to Aziraphale but if Crowley knew how much of this was going on... #aziraphale #good omens #go2 spoilers #good omens meta #Thanks to folks who responded to my tags on that post because you really motivated me to find these screen caps #and finish this post which has been sitting in my drafts for ages #also sorry so many of gabriels faces are funny I cant help that jon hamm is comedy gold - i refuse to let it undermine my point

Happy to say that I am back in my "every time I remember the ineffable husbands exist I have to sit down for a second" mindset

#THEY'RE LITERALLY SO ROMANTIC ITS INSANE #if it weren't for them I would be a very different person I promise you that #the way they defy their nature AND learned prejudices to be together #the inherent divinity of humanity and not being completely good or bad but somewhere in the middle out of pure choice and love #THE 6000 YEARS OF PINING. #theyre a bickering old married couple theyre teenagers in their first relationship #they arent even dating yet theyve been in love for centuries #they wont even admit that theyre friends and yet they KNOW the feelings are mutual #i haven't been this feral over them since 2020 pray for me #good omens #good omens 2 #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #ramblies

thinking abt how azi was truly crowley's sunlight through the millenniums. like, here's this demon who didn't mean to fall, who just asked questions and deep down he was still so good. and he is alone, he's the literally the emboidement of the first sin, and NOT by his own choosing. he's so alone and afraid and just wants a real conversation w someone, even if its an angel who'll most likely hate him. and here's the guardian of eden, who gave away his sword, that GOD gave to him, without asking a single question, to help the humans under his charge and he's kind to crowley and crowley is utterly fascinated. zira is basically the first protector, not only to adam and eve BUT CROWLEY TOO. he protects crowley from the first rain bc he's so fundamentally good and kind and crowley can't help seeking him out over the years. when they meet in rome, c is obviously far more withdrawn and angry bc of the things he's seen and was forced to do and there's az again, so happy to see him and even inviting him to dinner. everytime they met, even when crowley was saving azira, he also saved crowley by the simple act of being his friend.

#sunlight by hozier is literally this but with fancy words #no like UGH i don't know how to articulate this properly cause it's so much more than azi being kind to crowley. its being the only person #to see him. to truly know him and see thru the walls he built up and yes crowley may have been the one to seek him out and save him but #aziraphale LET him do it and never treated him with anything other than an equal and azi gave him a chance when nobody else did and UGHH #it most have meant so much to crowley after hell's cruelty #like i really do believe the simple fact that azi was unbashedly himself around him meant far more to crowley than empty kindness #EACH DAY YOU'D RISE W ME KNOW THAT I'D GLADLY BE THE ICARUS TO UR CERTAINTY OH MY SUNLIGHT SUNLIGHT SUNLIGHT #STRAP A WING TO ME DEAD TRAP CLAD HAPPILY WITH WAX MELTED I'D MEET THE SEA UNDER SUNLIGHT SUNLIGHT SUNLIGHT #ineffable husbands #good omens #good omens s2 #azicrow #good omens season 2 #aziraphale #crowley #hozier

Finally got around to watching Our Flag Means Death this week and now, mere days later, season 2 of Good Omens has dropped and Both of them Hurt Me in the Same Way

I got a double dose of gay angst and I am Upsetti Spaghetti

#good omens spoilers #good omens #good omens 2 #ofmd #our flag means death #frankly its hurtful #everyone else experienced this pain last year #really a ''double it and give it to the next person'' situation #i blame capitalism for making me buy multiple streaming subscriptions

don't make me tap the sign

[image id: screenshot of the simpsons "don't make me tap the sign" meme, where the sign is edited to read "“Hastur was a Duke of Hell. Crowley wasn’t even a local councilor” - Good Omens (1990)" /end id]

update: re-read the book lately and realized they spell it "counsellor" bc they're british. this makes sense but it also means my american ass can't help but read "counsellor" as the american "counselor" which is like a therapist or mental health consultant (the way i spelled it originally is like. someone who sits on a council. which is what i'm sure they meant). just wanted to share the fun image of crowley as a therapist ("I see I see. have you tried yelling at plants?"), or even funnier, that "Duke" as a title is like. a level above therapist. grand therapist. high throne of therapy. tier 1 therapist hastur la vista.

#it's very important to me personally that crowley is truly just some guy #like yes he's the serpent of eden and technically invented human sin #which basically just got him a pat on the back and then put to work for the next 6000 years #while the ceo (satan) largely gets the credit for the whole apple thing #bc good omens is a critique of bureaucracy and capitalism #crowley's not special bc of his status with hell or even who he used to be in heaven #he's special bc he's *crowley* #he's special bc he's imaginative and creative and optimistic and clever #he's lived and loved and worked on earth for so long that its had the same profound effect on him that it does on aziraphale #that gives them the perspective that heaven and hell lack #idk its just. a lot of feelings for me #good omens #original post #image id

In my mind, Aziraphale is "agender" and Crowley is "gender fluid".*

Aziraphale (they/them) and a possible (it/its) while Crowley is a (She/Her), (He/him), (they/them), and if need be, a (xie/xem).

*Since they're an angel and a demon that means human pronoun/gender rules don't exactly work "normally"

I love the way the Good Omens fandom handles the whole gender/pronoun thing for the characters.

I also really love the (they/them) for Muriel!

Rest in Peace. You were a good car.

So I was thinking to myself, Crowley had that star-starter crank thing at the airbase at the end of the world. But where did he get it from? The Bentley

#yOU GUYS #crowley #the bentley #good omens #good omens meta #sort of its more like good omens m...aking me cry over a vehicle #something something i can't abandon the person i used to be so i carry her #i am HAVING a MOMENT here

Hey is there a howls moving castle/good omens au yet? I feel like there is or at least there should be

#crowley as howl and aziraphale as sophie obviously #crowley being the boy who swallowed a star #aziraphale magicing/miracling life into objects through sheer bitchyness and force of will #that scene where howl/crowley's like 'im done running I needed you to help me be brave and fight' or whatever #do you guys see my vision #I can't be the first person to think of this tho like its gotta be out there right #good omens #ineffible husbands #aziraphale #crowley #howls moving castle #neil gaiman

people making all those body-switching drink spiking memory altering theories when its so much easier to admit you felt like the writing wasn't that good this season. knowing a thing is mid and still enjoying it is so freeing try it sometime

#so many of those theories make no sense and would just make the writing worse? #i promise you don't need to TJLC your way out feeling unsatisfied with your the season because it only leads to more disappointment #when the secret good 4th episode of sherlock doesnt happen #its me talking #personally i think the clue to liking the season is admitting that most things in it are just there for fun #its either for fun or to give emotional context to a characters behaviour literally thats it #'what was the point of the minisodes' for fun and to give emotional context to aziraphale's moral struggles #'why were there zombies' for fun #'why are nina and maggie like that' 90 percent of the time to give clear parallels to crowley and aziraphale #the other 10 is just less than stellar writing #'why was the job storyline there' among other reasons to drive the point that aziraphale still sees the angel in crowley #etc etc #would the season work better if it was shorter? almost certainly! but im having too much fun to care #gomens #good omens spoilers #idk why i wrote so much on this topic. oh well

i checked back in on dan and phil because people said they were uploading to their gaming channel again and i havent watched them in years really and i still have good omens brainrot going on so you can imagine that im just mixing old and new fixations and making the obvious connection here

that connection being crowley dan and aziraphale phil. i just had to say that

#obligatory 'this is not making any comment on the nature of their relationship' because its not my or anyones business lol #its literally just how they act and also theyre british #and you cant rly have one without the other can you #good omens #my post #when the fuck was the last time i tagged dan and phil on this blog. i guarantee it had to be 2016 #what the fuck even did i have as the tags. i dont want to know #dan and phil #it is also not lost on me that phil has a video on his channel where they mention good omens at least once. if they do more idk #do i want to tag more. gosh i probably should not ajfjsjd #i know for a fact i am not the first person to make this connection its way too obvious

the leak just sucks on multiple levels, and not just because it shits on the collaborative effort of the people who made it, neil included

it will alienate a bunch of homophobic fans who will not watch on principle, or even boycott it, driving down viewership, which as we know is a big thing on streaming platforms and could potentially ruin the chances of us getting S3 as neil intended

it personally ruined, for me, a moment that i already knew was gonna happen (fuck off people who called the show queerbaiting, it never was)

those who will somehow manage to avoid spoilers online will, at some point before it airs, be spoiled anyway bec fans will never shut up about it, naturally, not even irl, and this is pride month

fans on here will also spiral into increasingly elaborate/grandiose takes between now and july, and by the time the episode airs many will be like 'oh, that's just disappointing', get angry, and decide to harass neil about it. you can tell me i'm wrong all you want but that's exactly what's gonna happen

and finally, context is fucking everything, so we can't even be sure if it's them in the scene because the entire climax of s1 was based on a body switch, so like,,,, we might be setting our expectations for something that might not even be what we immediately assumed it was.

like, it's fine to be happy about the spoiler, we're all fans here, it's natural. but acting like it's not going to have major repercussions is bullshit.

personally, i'm just going to not talk about it until it's time.
