Guess who my favourite Frozen character is?
I’ve been seeing quite a lot of theories or AU of Hans having the power of fire and you have no idea how much I want this!
I was searching for a fire related song for him to draw to, then I remembered Hellfire. One of my favourite disney songs.
I especially love this cover of Heaven’s Light and Hellfire.
I want to make a Heaven’s Light version with Hans in the future, but for now have FIRE!

So I’ve been having thoughts about immortality in Good Omens. (Meaning I’ve been thoroughly overthinking it and will subject you all to my nonsense now.)
By “immortality” I mean “cannot be made to cease to exist”.
This is going to be both a bit macabre (in a very abstract way, nothing gory) and a bit blasphemous, sorry in advance. Get out of here if you need to.
For the demons and angels, the characters themselves distinguish between death, which happens to humans and is permanent, and discorporation, which is the destruction of their human-style bodies that is uncomfortable to painful, very inconvenient and gets them sent back to Heaven/Hell without those bodies.
This distinction is how we get “angels and demons are immortal”: because they can come back from having their mortal vessels destroyed. Their bodies don’t age, they can be shot, beheaded, suffer a fatal car crash, and they can just get a new body and go back to their life.
A discorporated angel/demon has to fill in the mount of annoying paperwork related to it, and then they’re given a new meatbag vessel to get around in and are sent back to Earth.
Thatlooks like immortality, but if you think about it, that isn’t what immortality is. Not really.
For angels and demons, the analogue to death isn’t discorporation, it’s extinction by Holy Water respectively Hellfire, which we learn is permanent, and erases the demon/angel in their entirety. No coming back.
So they aren’t immortal at all, it just takes different means to kill them than it takes to kill a human - which makes sense, they are entirely different beings after all.
It’s made rather clear that this extinction is nothing they can return from in any manner, and that nothing of their being remains.
And, once you think about it, that is actually a lot more drastic than death for the humans is, because in Good Omens, life after death is undoubtedly real, and outside of not having a body anymore, a person seems to remain mostly the same after death. As we can learn from the seance scene and Ron’s appearance as well as from Leslie the delivery man’s experiences, their personalities and memory stay intact. Which means that death isn’t actually an ending for the humans in Good Omens, they basically just ditch their bodies and live on as souls - which does sound a real lot like it is an analogue to discorporation after all. The only difference is that it isn’t reversible (normally, Adam does reverse several deaths when he restarts the world, but this is an isolated case). Under normal circumstances, you could say human bodies are temporary vessels for the life on Earth, they are easy to damage and have a short shelf life, they start to fail after just a couple of decades, and after one body is used up, there won’t be a new one. The soul however lives on.
We don’t learn if human souls can be destroyed or harmed in any way at all. If they can’t be, humans might be the true immortals here, because only their bodies can be destroyed, but not their souls/actual selves. Angels and demons on the other hand can be permanently erased from existence even on this metaphysical level.
(Tangential thought, but fascinating: Angels and demons are metaphysical beings because their true selves are metaphysical and incorporeal, they just live in the corporation for a while…. Which, again, if you compare them, is true for the humans as well: humans retain their memories and personality after death/losing their bodies, so what makes up the human is incorporeal, aka it’s the soul. Which makes humans merely a different sort of non-corporeal beings. Their souls/true selves however can’t be destroyed, unlike those of angels and demons.)
What do we have outside of angels/demons and humans to contemplate and compare? The Apocalyptic Horsepeople can be killed (or at least temporarily discorporated). Death claims they will be back, as they are never far away (at least as long a humans exist, as they are monsters from the darkest parts of the minds of humanity). So their destruction is not permanent - it’s a discorporation, not death, not extinction.
The only being outside of God (presumably God is indestructible) we meet who cannot be destroyed in any way is Death, at least not without destroying Everything Else alongside him.
So, if we break it down, it’s more like:
Immortal beings
- God. Ineffable, mysterious and distant. If not indestructible by nature, then by lack of reachability.
- Death. Creation’s Shadow, untouchable unless you want to destroy all of creation along with him.
- Humans. Their bodies can be easily destroyed, but the souls move on to an afterlife of some kind, seemingly unchanged and eternal.
- TheHorsepeople. Can be destroyed temporarily, but are direct consequences of humanity’s nature and will be back as long as humans exist.
Mortal beings
- Angelsanddemons. Pretty sturdy creatures actually, can replace bodies indefinitely, hard to damage physically and metaphysically, but will be permanently wiped from existence if exposed to certain substances. (I’m including the Metatron and Satan here, as I think they’re just a special type of angel/demon, so one can probably Holy Water or Hellfire them to extinction.)
Like. It’s not looking good for the angels and demons here, ’s all I’m saying. They seem to be the only type of being that can be actually completely destroyed.
(If Aziraphale and Crowley actually do go native, and I like that idea, they’d be the first angel and demon to reach actual immortality. Which, given that Heaven and Hell believe this has already happened, probably makes them pretty scary from an angelic/demonic perspective.)
