When shax says "shall we send up some sushi" to azi, just to be clear (I'm a lil dumb), she is mocking their love of humanity in a way, ( the humanity in them maybe ) , right?
Right.
brightlightfevr asked:
i think it’s cool that you use tumblr. you dont see a lot of celebrities or writers/producers/actors on here anymore. i appreciate what you’re doing.
also you’re going to jail and then to hell for that new season
I’m still processing that people are saying this because they cared more than they expected to about what happened. And they aren’t saying it because they thought the acting or the way it was shot or the direction or the VFX were bad, or that the dialogue was clumsy or out of character. They say it because it made them feel things they weren’t expecting to feel.

Hello Neil! Quite sorry if you’ve already answered this question but I’ve been reading a certain book by the name of, ‘Anatomy’ by Dana Schwartz and was wondering if this book inspired the 3rd episode in the new season of good omens… Just thought they both pertained to restrictionists and also saw your quote on it! Have a wonderful evening.
Dana’s book is wonderful, as is Dana, but no. Cat Clarke and I chose The Resurrectionists because we were shooting in Edinburgh and because it was a place we could go for some wonderful moral choices for Aziraphale.

Hi Mr. Gaiman)
I have a question regarding Crowley and Aziraphale not being able to resurrect humans. It seemed like the demons killed Mr. Brown, but than we see him alive and well at the end of the last episode. I thought Crowley brought him back to life after escorting Maggie and Nina out. Was I wrong to think that? what actually happened?
I know you get a lot of questions and might not get to this one. either way thank you in advance and have a good day)
P.S. I loooved the second season and can’t stop thinking about it.
Mr Brown had not been killed. He was taken by the demons and stashed away to be dealt with later – Shax was still intimidated by Crowley’s declaration that the demons could not kill civilian humans at that point.
eunice3104 asked:
Hello Neil :)
First of all, I must say that I love Season 2 very much and thank you for everything you've done
Just a small question about the beginning of the second season. We can see that Crowley stopped Aziraphale, who was passing by like a meteor, while creating the small nebula he was responsible for. Was Aziraphale also on the way to participate in building the universe or completing any other tasks at that time? Or is he just taking a leisurely walk with nothing to do?
Aziraphale was on his way from somewhere to somewhere else, working industriously on whichever portion of the creation he was assigned to.
dazzlinghahn asked:
Every day my mind realises just how seriously and deeply devastating that final episode of good omens was. I don’t even mean devastating in the bad way, but in the way where it makes you feel REAL feelings, when you can feel your heart sink with frustration and compassion. Idk i might just be an overly emotional gal but this is my thank you and well done note to you. Not many people have the ability to create a story so fictional yet SO real. Thank you <3
You are so welcome. That was what we were all going for: to make people feel real feelings.
I’m glad that people are responding to it like this, too.
virtueangel asked:
Hi Neil. I’ve let a lot of my questions go unanswered or stuck to my own speculation because I know you’ve got quite a full inbox, but there’s one scene that I can’t seem to make any sense of even after doing outside research. When Crowley and Aziraphale go to the pub in S2E2 and Aziraphale asks Crowley if he knows who Jane Austen is, Crowley says that he’d never forget her because she was the “mastermind” behind the 1810 Clerkenwell Diamond Robbery. When I first watched the episode, that reference did seem familiar to me but I couldn’t place my finger on where it was from. So I did some research on this supposed heist and all that comes up is text posts of people on Tumblr quoting that conversation from the show, or the Clerkenwell Crime Syndicate in the 1980s-‘90s. The Clerkenwell Diamond Robbery isn’t a real thing that happened, is it? What is Crowley alluding to with that? Or who is he getting Jane Austen mixed up with?
I’m surprised that enterprising people haven’t created an entire website by now telling in detail the story of the 1810 Clerkenwell Diamond Robbery. Perhaps it was hushed up.
thatwwirdo asked:
At the risk of adding to your Sisyphean pile of asks, Mr Gaiman, what did Mrs Sandwich mean by her "I've got more than that, love" comment in episode 5? The tone of Crowley's response is not entirely clear to me either so I can't make inferences very well.
P.S. Loved the season, currently consuming every iteration and adaptation of good omens over and over.
Alas the previous conversation about her not being scared of the mob because she was armed with her hatpin was cut. So just assume it means that she has more than her hatpin (which is what Crowley has asked about).
luthienspower asked:
Hi, Neil!
I was wondering, why doesn't Crowley have a "normal human job" like Aziraphale. Like Aziraphale is a bookseller. Why isn't Crowley like a chef or something like that.
I remember in 1991 one of the notes Terry and I got from the studio on our original script was that Crowley needed a job as well and that Aziraphale needed a more glamorous job than Bookseller. It was the first time I’d ever written a script so I tried giving Crowley a job in the next draft, but he wasn’t really very good at it, and it wasn’t very convincing.
He sort of has a job in 1941.
tmdz145 asked:
Hello! I was wondering if you could explain what Crowley meant by “…no nightingales.” Aziraphale seemed to not be happy to have Crowley point that out.
I think it must have something to do with the song that played in his car, and I remember the narrator mentioned a nightingale singing, but that no one heard it, at the end of season 1 as well. However I didn’t understand why it was mentioned by Crowley right at that moment, nor at the end of season 1 actually.
If it won’t spoil anything coming in future would you mind explaining that line please? (Ps. I am completely smitten with this show and the characters. powerful television, bravo.) Thank you
The song is from Season 1. It was playing in the Ritz when they dined:
And the lyrics of the song may help to explain things.
