i wish i knew how to edit gifs because

i wanna put the words “HBA fans” over Lucifer’s face and “Poke and Blue” over Dean’s because this is a little bit how we feel when we get new reviews or inbox messages 

[housebreakingangels]

so that happened huh

[housebreakingangels]

hey I know it's been like five years but your fic is still my favourite so like... just putting it out there....

You are so sweet and honestly Blue and I are still trying to wrap our heads around this cop out of a confession, burn your gays in hell, shit show, color by numbers event that just blew up. I just. We expect nothing but are still let down. 

Though it did have me opening the HBA google doc for the first time in about a year............

[housebreakingangels]

hooray

[housebreakingangels]

Still holding out hope for an update :'(

The good news is: we’re writing againThe bad news is: we’re slooooooooooooow because the fandom (and source material) kinda pissed us off.

But the point is… you’re not holding out for no reason! Onnnnnne Daaaaay

[housebreakingangels]

I thought y’all had left the fandom! How are you?

Poke:Busy honestly. Mostly a good busy in my case. Mostly.

We kind did leave the fandom, but we still have a lot of love for the characters we loved before things really lost us. Every now and again we add a few paragraphs to HBA. I wish I had the headspace to write more of it faster (the GO miniseries had be able to knock out a whole page, I might rewatch it again and see if it helps). Honestly, I miss the fandom sometimes, you guys can be a lot of fun!

Blue: You’ll pry the SPN fandom from my cold dead hands. But with all the new episodes and how little I care about anything that happened past....about season 7 it’s been hard to get motivated to write. I’m kind of hoping with the series ending my fixit urges will return because it will be DONE. I’m actually currently rewatching the first couple of seasons or SPN right now.

Ok but, which one of these screams Lucifer?

Asking for reasons.

Hi, I'm doing research for a costume design, and I was wondering if there was a master list of tiaras that had wing/bird imagery in them?

There’s not but I can make you one.  I didn’t realize how many bird tiaras there were but I kept thinking of more to add.  Around the turn of the century winged aigrettes were very popular so there are definitely more than I was able to list here.  The wings could usually be removed to be worn as brooches and we sometimes see them being worn that way today.

Cockerel Diadem by René Lalique, 1898

Grand Tiara by Buccellati

Queen Farida of Egypt’s Diamond Peacock Tiara (there’s a bird to the left of the fan tail but it’s hard to see in the old photos)

Ida McKinley’s Winged Tiara by J. Dreicer

Egyptian Tiara by Carlo & Arthur Giuliano

Duchess of Roxburghe’s Valkyrie Tiara by Cartier

Winged Tiara by Cartier, 1901

Swallow Flight Tiara by Boucheron, 1907

Winged Tiara by Boucheron, early 1900s

Pearl Winged Tiara by Chaumet, 1906

Winged Tiara by Chaumet, 1899

I had to stop myself because this is already ridiculously long but there are more winged tiaras out there.  I hope this helps!

[housebreakingangels]

Will you ever update!!????

Here’s hoping!

We definitely have plans. How long it takes us to get back to those plans is in the air.

When you finally have the urge to write again but you don't remember where you were exactly in your head so you gotta reread the whole thing that you've got so far to make sure you don't cross any streams -B

[housebreakingangels]

hi im sorry to ask but i read your 'pretty princess' fic and i was wondering where you went to read that new shiritsu horitsuba gakuen chapter i have searched everywhere and cant find it

Oh hey there! Don’t be sorry for asking at all. To my knowledge no one’s posted the scanlations proper but we do have the raws and a translation post so you can read them side by side. There’s a master post of all Horitsuba Material here if you’d like. If you have anymore questions about this feel free to come and ask me on my main blog @kurogabae so that we don’t clutter the HBA blog with non-SPN things. I hope this helped!!

^that was Poke

I also kind of lost my writing mojo for awhile and didn’t update or attempt to write anything for like a year. But it seems to be coming back to me and... I may have... been rewatching old SPN >__>  So maybe not by the end of the year but some time before next summer there will be more hopefully.

This will probably never be abandoned even if it slows. You will pry HBA from my cold dead fingers.

~Blue

Has the fic been abandoned? :(

No, not at all. We’ve just fallen out of the SPN fandom and it’s been very hard getting back on the horse. We fully intend to update this. My personal goal is to update by the end of the year, but I can’t make promises.
