something random that I really love about the good omens fandom is that aziraphale is almost universally drawn wearing glasses even though 1. he is never specified to wear glasses in the book, and 2. being an angel means he would probably have perfect eyesight and would under no circumstances need glasses. i just think it’s really heartwarming that we all collectively accept that aziraphale is one of those pretentious and gay book-loving bastards that wears glasses for the Aesthetic™. glad we’re all on the same page
you should read good omens because one of the characters is canonically a homoromantic asexual angel who likes sleight of hand tricks even though he is literally magic
The Black Dogs of England are said to be violent predictors of death and doom, but that is not always the case. The Gurt Dog (“Great Dog”) is said to wander around Quantock Hills in Somerset, England, and it is different compared to its fellows. The Gurt Dog is said to be a kind and gentle protector of those that wander the moors. It is specifically a protector to small children and legend says that the Gurt Dog watches over children that play alone and will even help guide lonely travelers.

i love characters who have like…. an unreasonable amount of backstory. before they entered the time frame of the tv show they personally saved the life of four different foreign dignitaries, spent five years as a mountain hermit, have lived on every continent including antarctica, speak twelve languages, have studied every form of martial arts you can think of, are an expert vintner, were the subject of two separate famous works of art, and have been implicated in eighteen bank heists around the world. they’re 25 years old. no one questions this.
