I got a laptop with Windows 11 for an IT course so I can get certified, and doing the first time device set-up for it made me want to commit unspeakable violence

Windows 11 should not exist, no one should use it for any reason, it puts ads in the file explorer and has made it so file searches are also web searches and this cannot be turned off except through registry editing. Whoever is responsible for those decisions should be killed, full stop.

Switch to linux, it's free and it's good.

one thing i haven't seen people here talk about with regard to the show yesterday: one of the confessions was that someone had made their mum wait in the parking lot while they were at the show during the last tour, and dan was like oh god are any of your parents waiting outside right now too?

and what i just wanna know is. when you guys left the building. did you also see the parents parked outside? because i did. and it felt like looking at dogs who had been tied to a bike rack outside a shop. did anyone else get sad at the sight. i wouldn't even have noticed if they hadn't brought it up in the show

Came to me in a dream

[kingofthieves]

Hi, I’m trying to find a fic where Aziraphale is a nursery/kindergarten teacher and Crowley is a parent. I think at one point Crowley holds a party and Aziraphale gets a panic attack at it? (That could be a different fic though. If it is, could you also find that one?)

Thanks :)

Hello. I can find two fics in which Aziraphale is a teacher and Crowley is a parent...

Crossing Guard(ian Angel) by snae_b (E)

Single dad Crowley is a mess on the first day of kindergarten. He never thought the day could go worse than it already is.

What We Make of It (Shotgun Wedding) by charlottemadison (E)

The important thing, Crowley tells himself -- the most important thing -- is Adam, his brilliant, creative, empathetic nephew. Being fourteen's hard enough; the kid didn't ask to deal with the weight of the world on top of it. And if taking care of Adam means Crowley has to tough it out at a job he can’t stand, so be it. And if Crowley's job means that Adam’s charming English teacher is NOT a romantic possibility, well, that's just how things go. But the occasional drink with Aziraphale proves hard to resist. They frequent the same pub, so who can object to them saying hello? Briefly sharing a table? Perhaps a little conversation? The painful knowledge that it can’t be anything more -- not without somebody getting fired or sued or both -- well, that can't be helped. Until Crowley stumbles onto a terribly reckless idea...

dark mode galaxy-themed ao3 site skin

Since the frog theme I made earlier was light mode, I decided to make a dark mode skin as well. This one is galaxy-themed and in shades of purple, pink, and blue.

You can get the code and instructions for how to use it here.

there really do need to be far more pediatric bioethics training programs. there are so many nuances to pediatric care that are not covered by any general bioethics program. most notably, the lack of power when it comes to their own medical decision making, and the importance of having adults to advocate for them where parents and doctors fail.

i think the absence of these programs comes from wider society not valuing those under the age of 18 as whole people who deserve to have their needs understood and met.

there are conversations happening now over if these programs are needed, but i feel like the best way to discover this is to actually create these programs and observe their impact on patient care.

They invented love 😔 the whole artwork can’t be posted here (you can find it in my n/sfw twitter), cough, but these details might be nice enough on their own 🌸 your honor all I wanted was for them to be able to build some kind of calm and serene environment together. They don’t need to kiss. Although I’d be among those who would appreciate it.

[kingofthieves]

I will never, ever get over people thinking Izzy is canonically Ed’s ex. How do you interpret a relationship between two people that badly? I’ll never understand. There is zero romantic chemistry between them. Like…are we even watching the same show?

Hey! Do you lot know of any Good Omens/Hunger Games AUs?? Thanks!

I found one. Mind the tags!...

The Games Without Winners by feathereddino (M)

The second day of the 33rd Hunger Games should be a low-key day of sloth and gluttony for former victor Crowley Antonius. His tributes are dead, his sponsors are appeased, his escorts are high, and his agenda is in the wind. Of course, his husband, a fellow victor, still has a tribute alive in the Games. Crowley might want to limit his time to supporting Aziraphale Fell and his District 5 tribute, but the Capitol and its Hunger Games madness have far more items for him to attend to. It seems the demands on a victor never end.

Con saying Izzy felt about Edward the way Con felt about the boy he was friends with at camp being taken away has destroyed and rebuilt me on several levels, all of them queer.

Hiya! First of all, I wanted to thank you guys for the absolutely AMAZING work you do for this fandom. Don't know what we'd all do without you!

Do you have any recommendation for fics where Crowley was in an abusive relationship before Aziraphale? Doesn't need to be the main thing™, and I'm not fussy about AU or not, I just like that kind of hurt/comfort after?? The kind of vibe "In Which the Flower Grows", if you of it?

Thank you so much and hope you have a lovely day!

Be sure to check our previous rec here and and here. Generally your best bet would be to check #crowley/lucifer and #unhealthy crowley/lucifer tag

Shackled by rainbow_salt [M], WIP

Crowley and his boyfriend move into the flat next to Ezra and his husband’s. But things get complicated when they start to fall for each other, while also dealing with issues in their respective relationships.

Next-door neighbours AU, but replace most of the typical fluff with angst.

When I Watch The World Burn (All I Think About Is You) by CosmicOcelot [M]

Behold: Crowley, taking 6000 years to figure out the difference between Love and Lust.

Lavender, Chamomile, and a Rather Permanent Arrangement by southdownsraph [M]

Crowley owns the flower shop across the street from A. Z. Fell's tattoo shop, and can't help but be intrigued by the slightly eccentric, yet incredibly friendly tattoo artist. When Crowley does finally pluck up the courage to talk to him beyond the occasional pleasantries, he kicks off the beginning of a friendship that could so easily drift into something else entirely.

Black Ice by DarkHedgehog [E]

Crowley's dream was to become a world class ice figure skater and win gold medal at the Olympics. His coach, best friend and lover Lukyan has made all of this possible. So what if they have to hide their relationship from the world? It's because no one would understand. But that's okay, Crowley doesn't really need any other people in his life.

If anyone knows of any more fics like this, let us know here!
