Is it just me who sees this, or is LfL fandom sometimes forgetting what the point of the plot is?

Willy will never be Larry.

Never wanted to be him.

And probably wouldn't want to choose him as a cover.

The whole city knows about Larry and Willy. and they are ABSOLUTELY different. fundamentally. and this is, in fact, the point. that Willy screwed up. because I'm 100% sure that everyone who knows Larry would immediately know that it's not him. just because it's OBVIOUS. Willy simply didn't have the time or chance to change anything, he needed at least something, at least some kind of cover. and in a moment of common sense, he would never choose as the cover the person with whom every second citizen probably greets. even such a short-lived one cover, and it IS short-lived one. Guys, don't forget: this is cut skin. it will begin to rot and smell very tasty in day, maximum two days.😋

Willy has no desire to be Larry. there is no goal to take this life for himself. This is very dangerous and unprofitable for a terrible criminal who has escaped from prison.

combining them into one character is strange, just like seeing Larry as Willy (and most people draw Larry as Willy. I can’t blame them, it’s hard for me to move away from such a vision too, we are told throughout the game that this is “Larry”, but we even found out that they look completely different).

The anxiety of the internet

Willy.

boop boop!

i think about this panel sometimes. me when gorrister is nice for once in his pathetic life and shows basic kindness towards someone in the group

something about gorrister letting benny grab onto his shirt so he can follow along ): they make me sick, because despite everything— the fighting and the torture, they're friends.

they all care about one another and will help in anyway they can. they're all just traumatized and miserable, they take that out on each other but they do love one another in their own, weird fucked up way.

The Big Damn Kiss

Buckle up, my fellow Good Omens Ineffable Mystery Puzzlers, Crackpotters, and Assorted Brainrotters, because I learned something HUGE yesterday.

This will be a bit of a long post, because I want to show you exactly how I got where I am. I want you to understand. I want to put all the naysayers to bed (ha! But I'm still gonna try), and settle this once and for all.

I know (almost) exactly what Crowley gave to Aziraphale during the kiss.

DO NOT TAKE ANY OF MY THEORIES TO NEIL! PLEASE!

Okay? Okay. Thanks. Shall we begin?

Ahem.

Firstly, whether you believe me or not, I am 100% certain that Crowley did, indeed, give something to Aziraphale in his mouth during The Kiss. I've covered that in the link previous. Okay? Okay.

I did not know what it was. I've now heard theories that it was a bullet (nope), a ball bearing (nope), hellfire (nope), and no one, NO ONE has suggested what I see. (If you have, hello! Talk to me!)

Here's our first foreshadowing Clue:

And here's our next foreshadowing Clue:

And the next:

And our last Clue:

With me so far? Well, that first GIF is a bit off, I couldn't find one of Crowley actually spitting out the flies. But he does. When Beelzebub first drags him to Hell, he actually goes "Pleaugh!" and spits out four or five flies. Edit: Found it!

Moving right along, we come to Crowley in Heaven with Muriel, looking at the trial. We learn two important things here:

One, Gabriel doesn't have a desk.

Two, Muriel does. Where they keep the records. And it's a bit lonely. Every few hundred years, someone comes and asks for something. Muriel can't access the sensitive ones, you have to be pretty high up. A throne, dominion, or higher. Like, maybe Supreme Archangel?

So if Gabriel doesn't have a desk, whose desk is he at when he's getting ready to leave Heaven? Of course I can't find a damn picture of Gabriel at the desk, but it's Muriel's. Where they keep the RECORDS.

Gabriel puts his memory into the fly, then gets on the elevator to go to Earth.

Now, when Gabriel opens the fly with his memories inside, we find out that it's a container. Bigger on the inside. You can put thing(S) in it. The bit we see of him remembering is shot in two parts, one where he's flying down a red tunnel, one where he's flying down a blue. If you slow this scene down and watch, you can see that he is NOT looking at just his own memories. There is more going on here, more that he was not present for. @embracing-the-ineffable put up a great meta about that here. Go look!

Now I figured Gabriel must have taken something else. Something important. Something useful. Something he meant to give to Aziraphale, except he forgot.

I also figured he must have left whatever it was in the fly when he took his memories out. Crowley must have realized while watching the trial footage that Gabriel also grabbed something else. I don't know when Crowley grabs the fly, but he does. And that is what he gives to Aziraphale in the kiss. Why? Well.

I had no idea what Gabriel took until I started working on the chiastic structure of season 2. I'm not done with that analysis yet, but let me show you one thing that I have found so far:

(The numbers are just to try and help me navigate the story and its events without time stamps)

My note #357 of what happens isn't quite right, but when I saw the only two times Aziraphale says "I forgive you" are towards the beginning of Season 2 and towards the end, I realized I had something.

Rephrase line 357: Crowley's kiss is forgiven IN EXCHANGE FOR RECORDS.

(Not that I think Crowley's kiss needs to be forgiven. It's just what Aziraphale says, and had to say at that moment, because the Metatron was listening in.)

What does Heaven in Good Omens remind us of most of all?

A big corporate entity. And what do powerful people do when they get fired from a big corporate entity? They download all their emails while they're cleaning out their desks. Damning emails. Emails that can be used to black mail or even destroy big corporate entities. Or, ya know, maybe they swipe some sensitive RECORDS?

Oh yes.

Records that Gabriel meant to give to Aziraphale, but he forgot. Records that Crowley realized Gabriel had put in the fly. The fly that Crowley grabbed once Gabriel had his memory out. The fly that he gave to Aziraphale when he kissed him. The fly that no longer held Gabriel's memory, but did still contain those damning records.

Here's Aziraphale reading the records:

Here's Aziraphale being horrified and outraged by what he's reading:

And here's Aziraphale realizing he has got some GOOD DIRT on Heaven. Maybe enough to bring them down:

That's it folks. I have no idea what the records actually say, and maybe we're not meant to know until season 3, but whatever it is, it's GOOD.

That's my story, and by God Herself, I'm sticking to it.

Ight so i've done some math and basically gave larry a timeline, (This is just a headcannon)

Killed from 1996-1999 (on record) Caught 2001 age 33 2003 escaped age 35 <----- (Unsure of year) 2004 current age 36 <----- (Unsure of year) 1996 Age 27 started killing (on record) (Possibly could have starter earlier and killed more) Kill count 36 (Based on the kills in the game AKA the 17 that was said he killed. the bodies of the people hunting him. and the player, Though these are just the ones on record and could possibly be more,)

The fact that Ted is the only character that gets a transportation from AM where it has electric tentacles, is very, very questionable.🤨
