Flowers for Babylon

2020-09-09 11:38:58 +0000 UTCOh! I did not know Pyramus and Thisbe were Babylonian! I knew their story, though, because I'm a Shakespeare nerd: In "A Midsummer Night's Dream," there's a play within a play. A bunch of working-class dudes who have no idea how to put on play hear that the local duke is hiring an acting company to perform at his wedding, so the dudes clumsily throw together a show. As I said, they have no idea how, so the show is really, really stupid. And the story they're telling in the show is Pyramus and Thisbe!

2020-09-08 11:42:55 +0000 UTCWhat about... Why Is It Always Gardens Hanging Gardens of Eden Babylomens Babylon Babes Ziggurat Stardust Hammurabi and the Snake Nebuchadnezzar's Eden 7 Wonders of an Angel's World A World of Wonders Aziraphale's Code / Crowley's Code Hot As Hell, Amorite? OG Starcrossed Lovers (did you know, Pyramus & Thisbe, the original Romeo & Juliet, were a pair of idiot Babylonian teens who offed themselves dramatically in the desert with a three foot sword? "The More You Know") Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all eternity.

2020-09-08 05:53:34 +0000 UTCdepending on the ~~vibe~~ (and ending) of the comic, a line from Somebody Will (by Sassafrass) might be a really nice fit. The whole song is about doing the work now so that some faraway day others might benefit (an idea echoed in the Hamilton line about Legacy "planting seeds in a garden you'll never see"). Esp since these are the early days, laying the groundwork for what both earth and their relationship will be, though they can't see it now It will never get easy to wake from my dream When the future I dream of is so far away. But I am willing to sacrifice something I don’t have For something I won’t have but somebody will someday. And it feels like a waste. All this working and waiting and battling time, And all for a kingdom that all of my efforts will never make mine, But brick by brick the Pyramids rose, With most hidden under the sand, So life by life the project grows In ways I might not understand.

2020-09-08 05:52:13 +0000 UTCBabylon Gardens sounds like a cheap housing project. Gardens of Babylon would work. Flourishing in Babylon? Fountains of Babylon? Crowley Threatens Plants in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Maybe that's how the plants grew so well -- they had a demon gardener on staff. (Hope I'm not stepping on any toes here....)

2020-09-08 00:26:34 +0000 UTCOk, dead serious - maybe Photosynthesis? So plants using sunlight to produce chlorophyll and become green, juxtaposed with Aziraphale being a source of sunlight for Crowley....hmm. I feel like that could also be wicked dumb 😅

2020-09-07 23:56:18 +0000 UTCAhh I’m so excited to see designs for this! 😍 Also how about... 1. Low Hanging Fruit 2. You Can Hang MY Garden 👀 (the emoji’s part of it) 3. The Golden Garden Girls (if they were female presenting) I’m totally kidding, hope this made you laugh 😂 Hmm...maybe something about gardens? Cause they met in Eden and now they’re in Babylon? 🤔

2020-09-07 23:30:46 +0000 UTCPlaying with the words I came up with "Hanging Wonder" but that sounds too NSFW 😉.

2020-09-07 20:25:30 +0000 UTCTHE LIL BEARD!!! I also definitely agree with a play on “Wonders of the World”- Wonder of Heaven/Hell?

2020-09-07 19:59:35 +0000 UTCThere’s a Queen song that mentions the Wonders of the World and the Hanging Gardens - and it’s the one called The Miracle 😅

2020-09-07 19:30:32 +0000 UTCI love that you are considering the shorter beard style! I think the long, full Byzantine beard would get in the way for some things 😉

2020-09-07 19:27:45 +0000 UTCOooh! What about “Wonder”, or something referencing that word? Since the gardens are one of the wonders of the world. Not sure the theme of this comic, but if it’s romance-based that could especially work.
