Update: I Did A Very Chaotic Run (not Trying To Be An Asshole But Also Doing All The Drugs All At Once)

i am chronically online but not in a way that others recognise unless they are also an active tumblr user in the year 2023 🫡

They're right, you know. There is more. FAR more ...

But for now, here ya go. Welcome back. 😈

We'll have the first results of the French legislative election in 5 hours. On the off chance that someone who reads this is still on the fence, go vote for whichever candidate isn't RN.

MASTER POST

I have a theory on that, and it handily also explains why Nina notices the whole Jane Austen thing as well as making the ball a little less eldritch-horrory. The idea is that this mass hypnosis thing works better (at least when Aziraphale is doing it) when it's for something that people want or are not opposed to, but it falls apart if someone has a reason to nitpick.

When Nina enters the ball, she goes to very upset to not upset at all, and she notices. From that, she's on alert and notices other things, like everyone talking like they're in a Jane Austen novel and the dancing. The other shopkeepers who didn't have such a jarring experience when entering just went with the flow. The fact that Maggie didn't notice anything at first works against the theories that she has any sort of supernatural powers in my opinion. Nina points out the weirdness to Maggie, which raises her awareness, and she's a sweet person who likes Aziraphale and doesn't want to leave him in danger, so his miracle doesn't work. I also think that he *could* make her forget (like Crowley hypnotizing Sister Loquacious in season 1), but that he's avoiding being too heavy-handed.

And as a bonus, it means that there's a bit of a build-in safeguard if you're invited by local ethereal entity trying to set-up humans couple by altering their behavior, state of mind and mode of expression: anything too jarring would snap you out of it.

Hello! Do you happen to know why Aziraphale's miracles don't work on Maggie in ep6? He tries to make her forget and leave and she just answers: "Are you trying to hypnotise me?" We don't see any miracle blockers though.

Hiya! :) I'm afraid I have no idea! :) <3

The idea of Heaven and Hell keeping an eye on the Catholic church in a tail-wagging-the-dog kind of situation because they have to somewhat conform to it believes is hilarious to me. Doubly so if Aziraphale is the one informing Heaven of current Church cano, and it has to go through several steps of misunderstanding and creative reporting.

Is there anything like purgatory in good omens?

Thanks :)

I don't think so. By the time Purgatory became Catholic doctrine in 1274 Heaven and Hell already had everything set up the way they liked it and neither of them were prepared to take on the extra work of running a third place.

I’m so happy that people seem to like my procrastination fixation activity

this video has been going around for a while but the English subtitles didn't match the energy of the spoken French at all. i had to fix it.
