Basically Neil Gaiman was casually dropping hints about Good Omens 2 plot as early as 2019:
Aziraphale has memorized the Winnie the Pooh books, several Georgette Heyer novels, and Bobo’s Modern Coin Magic, though.
Georgette Heyer was an English novelist and short-story writer, in both the Regency romance (which she has virtually invented, based on extensive historical research as well as Jane Austen’s influences) and detective fiction genres. She used romantic plots and happy endings in both.
That is, with the exception of Penhallow, her 1942 mystery novel explaining how a desperate act intended to bring about good consequences brings only more tragedy in its wake instead (and spoiler alert: murdering a thoroughly unlikeable elderly character doesn’t secure the expected peace or happiness).
J. B. Bobo’s Modern Coin Magic, while not that modern anymore with a publishing date of 1952, provides a complete treatise on sleight of hand coin conjuring, making an excellent companion for those who want to impress and entertain with some classic magic tricks. Including working professional magicians like Fell the Marvelous.
But what about the Winnie the Pooh books? Sure, they offer the ultimate childhood escapist fantasy with a happy-go-lucky story and cheerful characters living in the Garden of— um, Hundred Acre Wood. The original Ashdown Forest is, by the way, located under the South Downs National Park authority.
A. A. Milne has participated in and survived two world wars. Writing was a creative way of talking about his struggles and those of many other individuals affected by trauma, mental health issues and illnesses that are left untreated and undiagnosed. Each of the animals famously symbolizes different disorder.
And according to the major theme of the power of friendship saving the day (with an occasional help of Christopher Robin, who plays his ineffable game as long as his adults let him), even a scary guest turns out not so scary after all, becoming a new friend himself.
Welcome back, sexy witch Crowley. And he brought a little conjured friend 💜

I’m going old school, Doctor.
“YOU killed Torvic, Doctor; and by rights, you should have been mine. You should have been the Master and he should have been you”
— Personification of Death to the Doctor (Big Finish DW Audiobook -Master)
There is purple fire in your eyes It wasn't there before My heavy tongue is rough with rust And my heart is sore With longing Yearning Hunger Thirst For the things I lost That weren't even mine at all Like the blue that once held My whole universe, But now there's only an ugly void Where your eyes used to be Where are you?
i was so excited to share this one :))

The Doctor only experiences gender against their will. The Master is simultaneously a girlboss and a manwhore. Hope this helps
