No but do you guys see the significance of introducing Francesca's season like this?? She doesn't like the limelight and so the secondary storyline makes so much sense. Idk if this was intentional but it was something.
Good Omens 2 appreciation post for that moment after Nina has just rocked Crowley's world with the revelation that no, he isn't slick and yes, it is glaringly obvious to everyone just how head over heels in love with Aziraphale he is.
Crowley takes himself off to the french restaurant and is drowning his sorrows in a bottle of wine while having the realisation that he's been following the angel around like a lovesick puppy all day with no other possible agenda other than to be around him.
And then he sees Aziraphale and whistles him over but the angel is too busy to join him for a wine in the middle of the day and Crowley tries to divert questions by complaining that he's scared Gabriel/Jim is gonna smite him and he'll be well and truly smote, no, smoted? Smited? What's the word he's looking for?
And the angel gives him a knowing look and says:
"Smitten, I believe."
PERFECTION.
GRAMMATICAL CORRECTION AND DIAGNOSIS IN A SENTENCE.
AZIRAPHALE JUST READ HIM LIKE A HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE BOOK AND DOESN'T EVEN REALISE HE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.
This is my new favourite double entendre.
Smitten as the past tense of Smite. And the exact reason Crowley is drinking in the middle of the day.
He's realising he's smitten, your honour.
I hope Neil closed the laptop with a dramatic flourish after writing that line. Hell if I'd written a moment that perfect I'd take a victory lap of the kitchen and then call someone to tell them how clever I'd been before I pop.
Uranian Intelligence: Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury (the planet of intellect) so often you’ll find people with strong Uranian energy are genius’ and tend to be smarter than Mercurian people because Uranus is associated with things that are out of the ordinary so they tend to think outside of the box and create things or come up with ideas that no one else does. This is also the planet associated with influence so you’ll notice lots of these people share their wisdoms with the world and become popular from it. I find that this applies to both Tropical and Sidereal. I personally still use the outer planets in Sidereal on Astro.com
Genius Indications: Uranus dominant, Aquarius Sun, Uranus chart ruler/Aquarius ascendant, Aquarius midheaven, Aquarius stellium, 11th house stellium, Aquarius north node, 11th house north node, Uranus in the 1st house, Uranus in the 3rd house
Famous Examples (Tropical + Sidereal, WHS + Placidus):
• Albert Einstein - 11h stellium + Uranus in the 3h
Do not talk about giftedness, inborn talents! One can name great men of all kinds who were very little gifted. They acquired greatness, became “geniuses” (as we put it), through qualities the lack of which no one who knew what they were would boast of: they all possessed that seriousness of the efficient workman which first learns to construct the parts properly before it ventures to fashion a great whole; they allowed themselves time for it, because they took more pleasure in making the little, secondary things well than in the effect of a dazzling whole.
