[META] The Banana Fish Gorilla Shoe Lace with a Dash of Nutmeg Grand Unified Theory of Good Omens Season 2 by mecurtin
Fandoms: Good Omens (TV)
23 Aug 2023

Summary
Or Banana Fish Theory, for short. I was dissatisfied with Good Omens Season 2 in many ways, until I saw tumblr user lonicera-caprifolium point out something about the last few minutes of Episode 6--something structurally similar to Aziraphale's magic trick for which "Banana Fish Gorilla Shoe Lace with a Dash of Nutmeg!" is the trademark distracting phrase.
I was soon convinced that this event *does* occur--and figuring out how, and why, and whether I need to stick pins in a Neil Gaiman doll, has become a research project, which seems to be pulling together a Grand Unified Theory of Good Omens Season 2. I no longer think S2 is an oddly-structured mess, I think it's a high-wire act, though possibly one in a clown suit, and the wire is electrified.

[META] My Prediction about the Good Omens 3 Finale: Imagine There's No Heaven by mecurtin
Fandoms: Good Omens (TV)

Summary
I predict that the finale of Good Omens 3 will transform the GO universe into one where Heaven and Hell never existed. A universe that's billions of years old ... our universe. Because that's what Terry Pratchett would want. Aziraphale and Crowley will probably have to give up their immortality for this to happen. We'll cry, but it will be a *good* cry, a eucatastrophe.

A family tree for "Blood of the Lamb (And Other Sacrifices)" by PeniG. Like the fic, it is in the style of the Golden Age of Mystery.

Summary
I’m making a detailed, shot-by-shot and item-by-item analysis of the visual information in Good Omens: Lockdown. It is extremely visually dense, and I think it’s telling a story—I just don’t know yet what story that is.

[META] Getting to an non-hierarchical Aziraphale-Crowley relationship by mecurtin
Fandoms: Good Omens (TV)
07 Jul 2019
Tags
Summary
stellar_dust noticed that most A/C fanfic includes some status imbalance because Crowley is Fallen and Aziraphale is Unfallen. I wonder what it would take to get them to a truly egalitarian relationship, given that Heaven & Hell, in Good Omens, are two siblings in a dysfunctional, abusive family. By the end of Episode 6 Aziraphale+Crowley have cut ties with most of their abusive family (yay), but they haven't done the work to unlearn the toxic habits of thought it gave them. That's what fanfic is for.

Summary
She picks up her cup and sips delicately of the chrysanthemum tea she brought. It is cooling and calming. She doesn’t need calming, but Mei Changsu might. She is about to administer a medicine that the patient will find disagreeable.
The patient looks fevered, at the moment. “What is wrong with Jingyan?”

Summary
the only surviving part of a longer saga
Far from there the mighty Aelfstane drove his foes toward the royal harbor
Aelf and Dwarrow rode hard beside him and behind them came the dead.
Razanur, young Tuk, looked out from the lofty Tower of Guard
while thither rode his hearty cousin Kalimac the Brandagamba,
in the company of horselords. Dear the cousins of brave Maura
reckless Razar, joyful Kali, though they saw the battle nearing
still their hearts went ever to him who bore the Ring to save them all
Greyaelf, wise, the Fire Ring wielder waited too, he knew ere long
the Witch King, strongest of the Ring-ghouls would come, and they would try their strength.
All their eyes were looking eastward.Bookmarked by mecurtin

Bookmarker's Notes
Combines alliterative verse, kennings and epithets with the "real" Westron names for Frodo, Sam, and Gollum. Prof. Tolkien would be proud.
