( @neil-gaiman , @fuckyeahgoodomens sorry for the tag but you might like this? Hopefully 🙏?)
Hi @neil-gaiman , I hope you're doing well, I'm trying my luck reaching you by tagging you cause Tumbler won't let me attach a video to an ask,
anyways, me and my friend @candi-doggo cosplayed crowley and aziraphale (me as crowley, and him as aziraphale) to a con, and well... we caused some mayhem at the cosplay display event :)
so here is our recreation of the infamous scene on the red carpet, hope you're proud of us, we'd love to get your reaction
I was at a Pride Parade a few days ago, and just have to show my sign. I’m a die hard Good Omens Fan, so it was my duty to bring this sign… a lot of people loved it and i’m glad they did!
+ I even found GO cosplayers who were willing to let me take a photo of them with my sign. Thank you!
The costume details in Good Omens never cease to amaze me
I was working on cosplay research and looked up 'men's dress shirt rounded collar' since I noticed Aziraphale's blue dress shirt collar is rounded, not pointed:
So it turns out...
"The rounded collar was part of Eton College‘s dress code beginning in the mid-1800s. Because men wanted to be perceived as belonging to this exclusive club, the rounded, or “club” collar was copied by the masses." (Source)
Between that and the fact that Aziraphale's waistcoat, from what I can find, most closely matches shawl collar waistcoat designs from the 1830s, and his waistcoat at Saint James Park in 1862 is the first one we see him wear that most closely resembles his 'modern day' one, it's safe to say our lad is stuck at the start of the 19th century.
Which COULD be hilarious given undergarment styles of the time:
Through the late 19th century - union suits! Lovely for cold London winters.
1907...
However, I suspect 1940s style to be most likely, as it seems to be what he emulated when pretending to be Crowley at the end of Season 1.
1940s undergarments:
Anyway this has been your fashion history dork brain dump LOL
Highlights of ComicCon include but are not limited to:
-A Bildad the Shuhite cosplayer who showed off a long scroll "permit" signed by David Tennant and gave me a ribbon for my badge that says "I was cobbled/midwifed by Bildad the Shuhite". This same Bildad screamed in response to being given one of my snakes and said "I have lizards!" but I think the lizards were in a backpack somewhere so I didn't end up getting one, which is just as well because I'm sure Job wanted them back.
-An Aziraphale cosplayer who gave me a "missing snake" poster with Crowley on it, and the three subsequent people who showed me copies of the poster after being instructed to show it to any Crowley they saw. This Aziraphale's response to receiving one of my snakes was "Have I finally found him...?"
-The James Long For Jim Short For Gabriel cosplayer with a tartan toga, a cardboard box, and a matchbox with a little fly in it. He was very cool and he let me and my girlfriend re-create the "minor miracle" shot with him
-The person who asked for a photo of me and my girlfriend and then just casually slid friendship bracelets onto both of our wrists, hers said "oh Lord, heal this bike" and mine said "Vavoom" which happens to be one of my favorite s2 Crowley quotes
-The Aziraphale and Crowley cosplayers with huge wings that gave me and my girlfriend stickers of Blackbeard and Crowley as drinking buddies
-The 60s Ineffable Wives cosplayers! You were doing the Lord's... Satan's... well, somebody's work, anyway!
-Me amusing myself and no one else by joking that my feet hurt because I was walking on "comic-con-secrated ground". I made this joke at least three times
-The other Aziraphales and Crowleys that did the "Spiderman pointing at himself" meme with me and my girlfriend
-My good friends Tanya and Kassidy who were very patiently taking photos while my girlfriend and I re-created The Kiss. After the fact my girlfriend was like "that was the most violent kiss I've ever experienced in my life" and I was like "sorry if I hurt you but you saw the scene that was NOT a gentle kiss!"
-The Beelzebub cosplayer who, in return for one of my snakes, attempted to give me a fly that was intended for a Jim/Gabriel cosplayer. It was the sweetest thing ever but I gave it back in hopes that they'd find the Jim I saw earlier, and because, let's be real, Crowley would not take good care of that fly.
