Oh, and...

I've been thinking that if I could ask Gneil and/or PTerry one Good Omens-related question, it would actually have nothing to do with the theology of the changed world or a second apocalypse or the mysteries of the Horsepersons or anything related to whether or not Aziraphale and Crowley are So Doing It (tm). Those are all things for fandom to play with, which it does quite nicely.

It would be a fairly straightforward question.

Who was Adam's mother?



If there's any fic or meta on this subject anywhere, please point me!

You know, I never once thought of that. But if you DO happen to find anything, make sure to post linkage because now I'm curious too.

awwww, icon love!

It just started driving me crazy all of a sudden. The obvious assumption is that she must have been human, but then why would Hastur and Ligur have had to bring him, presumably from Hell? Wouldn't he have been on earth already?

I think it's safe to assume that she would not have been the mothering kind.

I mean, if God picked a meek virgin to carry His son, whom would Satan have picked? (I'm not hinting at prostitution here: that's obviously too neutral.)

Some random (but attractive) damned soul hoping for a promotion by putting out for the Big Guy? Would Lucifer have gone for a "trophy wife" or just good genes?

Couldn't he have both? Damned souls are scarce.

But I was thinking of a living woman--one willing to make a pact with the devil in return for RL advantages.

How about Madonna? The name'd be ironic, then. Although it's way too close to RPF for my liking.

Bwah! She must have done something dramatic to be such a big star with that annoying squeaky voice of hers. And that might explain all her mystical BS now. :)

That's a damn good theory.

(I mean, it's not like LOTR where nobody has living a mother and you just accept it as a literary convention.)

And all her pseudo-blasphemy in the earlier days. E.g., 'Like a Prayer':

In the midnight hour I can feel your power...

I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice

And it would, of course, make her just 'Like a Virgin' in a special way.


The more I think about this, the better it fits.

It even explains why she's being such an insufferable public broody hen now...

YOU WIN.

And the more she elaborates the truer it gets!

Thanks!

It's a good revenge for all the pop she infected my friends with when I was a tween.
