Oh, and yesterday was Azirafeast. That probably helped.

why is good omens trending again. nothings happened apart from minor S3 news

[handyowlet]

Coz this fandom is rabid and it only takes a minor update to rile everyone up.

I’m guessing if he comes back, he’ll be a new character. NG said the Tracy/Shadwell storyline was done, and now we have Shax, so I don’t see Shadwell himself being there. Would love for him to be someone else though.

oh PLEASE tell me my hot mess "definitely was not a bit gay for 60s crowley, had a breakdown about it and came out of it as a raging homophobe" witchfinder sergeant is coming back ive missed him so much

I am shivering with antici….pation!

I know I have been rather quiet of late.

I do apologise, my dears, but I confess I’ve been… well… writing.

So am sort of hoping that you can forgive me and indulge my quiet period a little longer. You will be rewarded in the festive season, I promise! ❤️

reminder about aziraphale and crowley:

they're male. they're female. they're both. they're neither. they're more. they're lesbians. they're gay men. they're queer. they're bisexual. they're butch. they're femme. they're androgynous. they're masculine. they're camp. they're fluid. they're genderless.

they're anything and everything you can imagine because they've been around for all of it. and most of all, they're not real - so there's no 'wrong' way to draw them, to write them, to talk about them, or to think about them in terms of their queerness, as long as you acknowledge they are fundamentally queer.

thank you for listening. as you were

I finally feel successful as a parent. My 4 year old asked me to add The Cure to her favorite songs playlist today!

I fear my reaction may not deter future lickage.

This one told us she licked her classmates jacket. When my spouse told her she didn’t want to be known as the class licker, she made a slurping noise and I lost it. Now she keeps sneaking up behind me, slurping in my ear, and I cannot stop giggling over it.

Aziraphale does not...

Aziraphale does not need to learn and see how awful Heaven is

Does not need to suffer to 'deserve' Crowley

He suffered and cried enough (and so did Crowley)

He does not need to explain to Crowley why he spent millennia 'pretending' they are not friends

Crowley knows why.

Aziraphale does not need to apologise for how he'd turned Crowley away again and again

Crowley knows they can't really run away. Not for long. Not when the whole Universe is set to be destroyed when the Earth is done with. Not when they are always watched.

Aziraphale does not need to Fall to understand Crowley or be worthy to be with him or to understand anything better

Crowley loves him as the angel he is. And Aziraphale loves Crowley exactly as he is. A demon. A demon with a soft heart.

Crowley doesn't want Aziraphale to change. And Aziraphale doesn't want Crowley to change either.

BONUS

Crowley is IMO not self-destructing because Aziraphale left. I think he understands why he did. And I think he will help him willingly. Because Crowley loves Earth too.

It's not like S1 when the world was about to end and Aziraphale was gone.

Aziraphale is gone because the world is about to end. And that was the case in S1 too, Crowley just didn't know it. He does now. He helped when he found out then, and he will again.

OMG Roomba of Doom is a must read. It’s so utterly ridiculous, it’s perfect.

not one shots.

both of these are funny, sweet, gentle, loosely connected stories. Perfect if you are sleep deprived, short on concentration and cranky, or not.

there will be paperwork by entanglednow

My 4 year old decided to help me do yoga today. By lying on my yoga mat. While I was using it.

[handyowlet]

I second this. It’s a great story. I read it in one day as well, last year I think, but I still remember it.

Slightly unhinged AO3 comments: HH

I just devoured Hired Hearts (rated E) by @scrapheapchallenge

Does this count as a certified “slightly unhinged AO3 comments” post if it only includes one screenshot? Eh, it’s my series, I can do whatever I want with it.

I did leave comments on every chapter, but the very last one sums this whole entire situation up quite nicely:

Check it out and, if it sounds like it might be you cupperty, please just read it.

That’s it, that’s the post.

Good Omens fam: Want some super fluffy, super soft, super indulgent S2 doesn’t exist smut? Then I have a recommendation for you.

I’ve just watched the series finale of The Golden Girls. I ask for privacy and understanding in this difficult time.

Woo! My life is complete! Thanks @ineffablepenguin!
