Hello everyone!

This is a thread for talking about planning and discussing Good Omens Cosplay. Let’s see if we can get a group together!

For any of you who stumble upon this and haven’t read/don’t know what Good Omens is: It’s a wonderfully hilarious book by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Go check it out!

Characters we have cosplayers for:

Aziraphale: Pen_Zen (Ash)
Crowley: Auricle (Britany)
Adam: Felix
Pepper: Malaria (Valeria)
Pollution or Famine: Hashi
Pollution or Famine: Yagi (Just tell me when you guys make a decision so I can update the list.)
War: Jaqua
Anathema: Miria (?)

I love that you made a thread for this XD; though I have no idea when we will cosplay it, we should figure that out...

For now, I'm really considering Pollution..like 90% sure on that haha

Also! for anyone who's curious http://goodomenslexicon.org/index.php this is a great website for all things GO.

This is one of those times, I say to myself; 'Why must you fill up your cosplays lists SO fast!?'

If I wasn't already full for 2010 and 2011, I would totally join in with this cosplay!

I mean, cosplaying as Famine, would be a lot of fun~ =O
Oh well! Maybe some other time... When I actually HAVE the time and money for it.

I wish you guys luck on this! =D

Malaria · « **Reply #3 on:** November 17, 2009, 09:12:48 pm »

I haven't actually read Good Omens in forever. -puts it on the to-do list-
I seem to remember one of the Them was an awkward nerd ginger kid. I'd totally do that. XD

Hashi · « **Reply #4 on:** November 17, 2009, 09:14:18 pm »

Pepper? alot of the Them were quite nerdy imo XD but Pepper is definitely a red head

jaqua · « **Reply #5 on:** November 17, 2009, 09:17:05 pm »

Malaria, PLEASE be Pepper! She's cute, you're cute, things work out.

And while we're at it... Might as well put me down for War. xD This is a reason why I don't plan ahead: impromptu cosplay opportunities like this come up that I MUST partake in. MUST.

Malaria · « **Reply #6 on:** November 17, 2009, 09:30:12 pm »

No-nonsense little girl of awesome? I think I can pull it off.
I need a job so I can buy wigs. :1

You'd make a fabulous War. <3

jaqua · « **Reply #7 on:** November 17, 2009, 09:42:17 pm »

To be War I just have to wear red and act menacing. I DO THAT ANYWAY

~~don't worry i'm joking~~

Malaria · « **Reply #8 on:** November 17, 2009, 10:42:49 pm »

To be Pepper I just have to destroy you in single combat! : D
So~ Pepper it is.

I've got some suspicious about you.

We need an Adam. Next person to come in is being pressured into Adam.

jaqua · « **Reply #9 on:** November 17, 2009, 11:00:16 pm »

I agree. Next person to post, post carefully.

... >D

Oh man that's right! You defeat me! Oh man... I want all the Them and all the Horsemen just for THAT.

Felix · « **Reply #10 on:** November 18, 2009, 08:03:52 pm »

*stumbles in*

Someone should lend me the book next time I'm in Portland. Because I want to read it.

Malaria · « **Reply #11 on:** November 18, 2009, 08:31:22 pm »

-points- ADAM OMG

This would totally work. Good timing.

Felix · « **Reply #12 on:** November 18, 2009, 08:40:00 pm »

As long as you don't mind Adam being short.

...and I have to read it first. That's kind of important.

jaqua · « **Reply #13 on:** November 19, 2009, 04:53:57 am »

Adam is so excellent, he's like my favorite character. Behind Crowley. And Aziraphale. It's a really simply cosplay really, you'd just have to... Make your hair short, blonde and curly, either via wig or magical hair styling, and then wear a t-shirt, old jeans, and trainers. All the while looking like a ten(?)-year-old boy (I forget how old Adam is sldkfjsd). So short is A-OK MAN.

I'll lend you the book. It's in awful condition so you don't need to worry about being careful with it, either!

Felix · « **Reply #14 on:** November 21, 2009, 05:40:31 pm »

I STARTED READING IT AND IT'S SUPER AWESOME. C8

...I actually somewhat know what you're talking about now.

Were we planning to do this for 2010?

jaqua · « **Reply #15 on:** November 21, 2009, 09:08:11 pm »

Yeah, I'm assuming this year.

THE BOOK IS SO GOOD. THE BEST PART IS WHEN CROWLEY AND AZIRAPHALE GET DRUNK AND TALK ABOUT DOLPHINS AND WHALES. AND BRAINS.

Felix · « **Reply #16 on:** November 21, 2009, 09:29:02 pm »

I JUST READ THAT SCENE. 8D

I love the humour. But then, a book like that just wouldn't work without the right sort of humour.

Auricle · « **Reply #17 on:** November 21, 2009, 10:34:08 pm »

Sppfff. My sister and I were quoting that earlier today. ='D My point is...My point is dolphins.

I seriously love you guys. : D I would have never guessed that there would be so many people interested. I'm so happy that we can all get together on this! X3

Hashi · « **Reply #18 on:** November 21, 2009, 10:43:21 pm »

I used to have an entire icon batch that quoted that scene..but i lost them DX

Definitely agree though, best part of the book XD

I never would have known so many liked GO on here either! haha It seriously made me spazz with happiness when we started planning cosplays...

Good Omens was recommended to me by my History teacher my freshman year of high school,and Ive been addicted to that book since XD; ironically, I got that same teacher to read Hetalia.

Hashi · « **Reply #19 on:** November 28, 2009, 04:26:28 pm »

OKAY.

I dont know who knows of this but there was a screenplay written by Gaiman and Pratchett for the Good Omens movie. But they wrote it as an AU thing.

Its up for download momentarily here http://community.livejournal.com/lower_tadfield/901863.html

but its hilarious. and amazing. and I think itd be sweet if somehow we could act out part of it. Its an actual screenplay~

Auricle · « **Reply #20 on:** November 28, 2009, 07:26:56 pm »

Agggspfff*splutter* Thank you so much for posting that, Hashi! I totally would have missed it otherwise. ='D I really really want to read it right now, but I can't 'cause I'm leaving with a friend in about ten minutes. I'll read it as soon as I can though!

I have absolutely no acting skills, but it would be amazing to act it out, even if only part of it like you said.

Hashi · « **Reply #21 on:** November 28, 2009, 07:30:51 pm »

XD you are very welcome!

Ah, and correction, its written just by Gaiman, as like a response to what the producer wanted the movie to be XD so its like.. a parody thing. Its hilarious though. And if the download stops/is cancelled , I can try uploading it for people too, if they miss the chance or are curious~

Felix · « **Reply #22 on:** November 28, 2009, 09:35:18 pm »

8I

It won't let me see.
I totally didn't make a LJ just so I could see it...

I suck at acting but I'd give it a shot.

Hashi · « **Reply #23 on:** November 28, 2009, 09:36:26 pm »

Ah, they must have locked the entry..um, I can upload it or if you have an IM or something send it that way?

Same goes for anyone else who wants it

Felix · « **Reply #24 on:** December 06, 2009, 08:24:20 pm »

I don't have an IM... would it not work to upload it and post a link in the thread? Or PM it to whomever would like to read it? It would probably be easiest to link to it here, but I also haven't the faintest idea how IM works.

Of course I still have to finish the book first... -shot-

Hashi · « **Reply #25 on:** December 06, 2009, 11:42:18 pm »

Mkay, I uploaded it

http://www.box.net/shared/ih7sj0v6xs

Felix · « **Reply #26 on:** December 07, 2009, 12:03:34 am »

Thank you! <3

Edit: How do I open it? /idiot

Hashi · « **Reply #27 on:** December 07, 2009, 12:25:56 am »

XD oh..you have to unzip it. Its a really large folder, so I couldnt upload it unless I zipped it... the only other way would be to upload each individual page >>;

Felix · « **Reply #28 on:** December 07, 2009, 12:58:40 am »

DDD8

I've unzipped things before. Why can't I do it this time? I tried right-clicking, but I can't find a way to unzip it. Usually there's a decompress option...

It's probably really obvious, too.

Malaria · « **Reply #29 on:** December 07, 2009, 05:04:35 pm »

Are you using Windows Vista or 7? 'Cause those should let you view without unzipping. You just have to click the folder.

Felix · « **Reply #30 on:** January 03, 2010, 02:30:17 pm »

I have XP... but I figured it out. (Now I just have to finish the book... I didn't over break because I fail.)

MiriaRose · « **Reply #31 on:** January 03, 2010, 05:25:08 pm »

Like I said in the Kumo thread, I'll totally be Anathema if I can figure out how she looks. ~~and if I stop being lazy and actually look~~

Malaria · « **Reply #32 on:** January 03, 2010, 05:36:57 pm »

Miria: There's nothing for her on the Good Omens Lexicon. Just pretty pictures. : (
http://goodomenslexicon.org/entries/anathema.php

Felix: I think my copy of Good Omens only just came into the library today, so you're not alone.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #33 on:** January 03, 2010, 05:52:25 pm »

Well, it's a start, at least.

Felix · « **Reply #34 on:** January 03, 2010, 06:15:08 pm »

Hahaha, but you've actually read it all the way through before.

If I find a good descriptive passage I'll be sure to save the page, Miria. Perhaps you could check the scene in which she first appears?

MiriaRose · « **Reply #35 on:** January 03, 2010, 06:50:20 pm »

I did, the only thing they mention is that she carries around a bread knife.

Well. I think that's the first scene she appears in. I'll go check~

goatchild · « **Reply #36 on:** January 03, 2010, 09:51:30 pm »

I may or may not do Famine. Or switch with Hashi and do Pollution cuz slicked-back wigs look better on her than they do on me. >> In any case, I suppose you can count me in. That means all we need is a Death and we have all of the Horsemen! And Death is easy! : D Now I just need to jump on the rereading bandwagon...

Malaria · « **Reply #37 on:** April 11, 2010, 09:34:34 pm »

I AM REVIVING THIS THREAD IN ORDER TO START A HIGH PRESSURE RECRUITING CAMPAIGN

seriously dudes, this group would be adorable.

goatchild · « **Reply #38 on:** April 11, 2010, 09:37:09 pm »

Ahahahaha I love how I never posted this here, but Hashi is being Famine and I am being Pollution for sure. XD And we might try to convince Hideaki to be Death, which would give us all four horsemen! 8D

Felix · « **Reply #39 on:** April 13, 2010, 07:25:56 pm »

I still haven't finished reading the book.
^dork.

goatchild · « **Reply #40 on:** April 14, 2010, 09:26:08 pm »

I haven't even started rereading it yet. XD I will over summer for sure.

Felix · « **Reply #41 on:** April 15, 2010, 03:21:34 pm »

BUT AT LEAST YOU'VE READ IT BEFORE.

Hahaha, I can finish it on that obscenely long airplane flight if all else fails. Ugh.

goatchild · « **Reply #42 on:** April 15, 2010, 06:17:16 pm »

Oh the joys of international flights. I suppose I could read it on the plane to Japan. Assuming I'm awake, which I prolly won't be knowing me. >>

Hashi · « **Reply #43 on:** May 14, 2010, 01:34:10 pm »

REVIVING THIS THREAD.

I dont know why my thumb is glowing but I feel for this books its as appropriate as anything else

Felix · « **Reply #44 on:** May 14, 2010, 10:39:21 pm »

Your dorm looks super sketchy in that picture. BUT IT'S OKAY BECAUSE GLOWING THUMBS MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER.
I should stop dumping my stupid in random innocent threads.

We should probably mention that this is most likely moved to photoshoot-preceding-con status. That seems to be what we've agreed on, at least...

thesirensings · « **Reply #45 on:** May 21, 2010, 11:12:25 pm »

This thread makes me super happy.
