so the gals at the @jumpingpuddlespodcast and I were chatting about the city of atlantis in between recording. and we started talking about the design of the city and how we would've loved if it had taken more of an inspiration from the greek/minoan/roman civilizations! (i truly believe the ancients were pretentious enough to walk around in togas lmfao) so i did a quick google search and these are some of my fav pics I've stumbled onto!
that first picture of the statues in a circle above a circle of water IS SO ATLANTIS CODED. @stargatelov3r actually highlighted that the circle of water could very much be a gate! and this is 100% canon to me now ahha. like im SURE the ancients had some secret caverns under the base where they did all kinds of shady rituals/experiments ahah.
once again, the amazing ash pointed out that of course the ancients would have statues of themselves all over the city lol. and I LOVE the idea of the statues being at the entrance of atlantis. (also obsessed with the different platforms that are separated by water + range in height !!!)
100% believe that the city had some sort of canal that ran in between all the platforms and connected the city! also the ARCHES AND THE BOATS MHMMMMM
an indor bathhouse !! the ancients definitely didn’t believe in private bathrooms unless you were on the council or extremely rich lmfao
I like to think there would be a bunch of these little temples on the water all over the city! each temple would be dedicated to a different god and they could have public services every once a while :)))))
THE COLUMNS !!!!!!!! it's actually a crime there weren't any in the show aha. and I love the no walls/open space in this pic! I love the idea of waking up to the ocean right outside (also ik this is kinda dangerous but we're gonna pretend this is before the wraith war so the ancients had unlimited ZPM energy hehe)
I feel like this one is self explanatory. except I think the monarchy was an outdated belief in ancient culture & they had more of a roman republic kinda vibe. but the throne is there for show ahha
all I have to say for this is W A T E R F A L L S !!! it’s what we deserved !!!!!
the arches. the sunlight. the little pond. the stairs. im just babbling now but OHMYNSOFSF (I like to think this is Elizabeth's private bath ahah)
also ash mentioned that it would've been cool to see the ancients have murals painted on the walls AND Y'ALLLLLLL. this is where the minoan influence comes into play! known for their bright colors and beautiful wall art, I can just picture images like this depicting the ancients and their history all over the city <33333

Aziraphale making a fist with his hands during that wall scene as if resisting and Crowley’s small waist looking very tempting and inviting for big hands.
Oh, yes, Anon. I noticed that about that scene, too. Let’s get a screenshot of that particular moment up so we can enjoy it:
One thing I’ve always loved about Good Omens and Aziraphale/Crowley (and Michael/David, of course) is that it’s a study in contrasts. The long, slim lines of Crowley’s body juxtaposed with the strong softness of Aziraphale’s body. I can’t help but see the parallels with Michael and David, which I’ve talked about on my blog previously, about David liking men who are bigger than he is, and so it’s interesting to see that play out in a fashion with Crowley and Aziraphale.
I can absolutely see Aziraphale making a fist to keep from putting his hands on Crowley’s waist, knowing how easily he could pull him close, hips to hips, not a hairsbreadth of room between them. It’s the fact that he knows that and is still so blissfully ready to surrender to Crowley that makes this scene so incredible.
Can you imagine if, during one of the takes, Michael did put his hands on David’s waist? I know Neil has attested to how professional they both are and claims there are no bloopers from the first season, but imagine if Michael didn’t do it as a joke or to purposely blow the take...but just out of pure instinct. His instincts for Aziraphale and the character, but also his own instinct to just naturally put his hands on David’s waist when they’re that close.
Oh, yes. That is certainly a lovely thought. But one we’ll have to relegate to fantasy unless/until we get to see Aziraphale and Crowley touch that way in season 2. Fingers crossed...

literally in another universe snowbairdplinth could've been THE revolution. they wouldn't even really need any allies, lbr.
like, between coryo's cunning, sej's conscience, and lucy gray's charisma? the snow name, the plinth fortune, the baird d12 but neither district nor capitol pedigree?
coryo could've actually been like, panem's first 20-year-old president, who outlaws the hunger games and who the districts still listen to because he has sej and lucy gray on side. and yeah maybe coryo still kills a bunch of people but like whatever, no one really bats an eye -- who's gonna mourn gaul, anyways? no one in the districts, that's for sure. even if gaul didn't suck ass they'd be busy with cool covey music and awesome new legislation.
in a better universe i am 100% certain snowbairdplinth could've managed a fairly bloodless revolution, six decades early.
