The Magic Trick You Didn’t See: Being An Analysis Of Good Omens Season 2

The Magic Trick You Didn’t See: Being An Analysis of Good Omens Season 2

(or: Neil Gaiman, Your Brain is Gorgeous But I Have Cracked Your Sneaky Little Code And Have You Dead To Rights*) (*Maybe)

***

Soooooo I just spent the last 48 hours having a BREATHTAKING GALAXY BRAIN EPIPHANY about Good Omens Season 2 and feverishly writing a fuckin16,000 word essay about the incredible magic trick that @neil-gaiman pulled off.

Yes, it’s long, but I PROMISE your brains will explode. Do you want to know how magic works? Do you want to know what Metatron’s deal is (I’m like 99% sure of this and it’s EXTREMELY FUCKING GOOD)? Do you want to know about the Mystery of the Vanishing Eccles Cakes and the big fat beautiful clue I found in the opening credits? Do you go through the whole inventory of Chekov’s Firearm & Heavy Artillery Discount Warehouse?

Here is the essay, go read it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/193IXS11XN46lziHRb6eUpM17yK0BQkRqke1Wh64A_e0/ When ur done u can tell me I’m an insane crackpot, and u know what, i won’t even be offended

In case you don’t know whether you want to bother reading the whole enormous thing on google docs, I’ve put the first couple sections of it under the cut. JUST TRUST ME OKAY, HEAR ME OUT, THIS IS VERY EXTREMELY COOL, NEIL IS GOOD AT HIS JOB–

two chapters already gone by and i’m still reeling from this scene, y’all. so intense. so good. the comic came out all sketchy, but i’m prob not going to put more effort to clean it up. it still looks nice so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. (please click on the images for better quality)

Hi Cross-san dearest (｡’▽’｡)♡ I'm a big fan of your Narumitsu artworks. Is it ok if I could request a Narumitsu artwork? Just a simple one where a tired Chief Prosecutor Miles got home and sees a shirtless Phoenix sleeping on their bed looking so angelic, he can't resist but kiss Phoenix on the cheek. But Feenie woke up, straddled his lap and kissed Miles on the lips. Sorry for the long post, but I just felt so happy in seeing episode 7 of the AA Anime. Thanks and take care. (´ ▽｀).。ｏ♡

Ask and you shall receive, especially on them lawyers pfft.
