[ID: A screenshot of a reply by @bookwormgal from 52 minutes ago that reads:

"Wait so, who are you actually recommending people vote for? Biden and Trump are the only candidates who have a chance of winning (in my state at least), so are you voting for Trump explicitly? Or are you voting for a third party candidate in protest? It’s really giving tantrum." End ID.]

You have four posts on your whole blog with the word Palestine in them and one of them is encouraging people to support the genocide against them by rewarding Genocide Joe Biden with another four years with which to commit genocide.

And you're gonna pretend that I'm throwing "a tantrum" by telling people they still have the option of not supporting genocide.

And you're gonna keep pretending that the United States is a democracy while insisting that I /must/ be telling people to vote for Trump because I tell people not to reelect Genocide Joe Biden.

You've literally decided that saying you shouldn't support genocide is throwing "a tantrum".

I hope you understand how blatantly racist and fascist you are. Because we all do.

Don't bother leaving any more replies. Put them in reblogs for everyone to see or shut the fuck up with your genocide apologism and pretending there's no options except Genocide Joe or Trump.

If you want people to believe you're not a fascist white supremacist, don't describe people who are telling you not to support genocide as throwing "a tantrum". Why do you even need to be told this.

Until you have actually literally voted for Genocide Joe Biden and submitted your ballot on election day you literally still have the option of changing your mind and doing the right thing and not literally telling all of history that you were okay with supporting genocide because you thought it would benefit you. You literally still have the option to stop being a fascist white supremacist.

anyone who tells you that you have no other options except to support genocide and white supremacy is lying to you. Anyone who tells you it's too late to do the right thing is lying to you.

Hi, I love the HELL out of this FixerUpperAU fic. I might draw a few scenes from it when I get the time but I just wanted to share it with everybody. Love the mini changes and add ons to it, might actually make me pick up the comic again.

Bookwormgal I love you, I’m at the edge of my fuckin seat 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[aziraphales-library]

Hello! Ive been absolutely obsessed with fics where Crowley is insanely powerful lately, but there’s not really a tag for that since BAMF Crowley is pretty general. Do yall have any recommendations? :)

Hi! We have a #powerful crowley tag, so check that out. Here are some more fics to add...

I Do Not Forgive You by Puerinrotis (M)

The most powerful thing in the world, in the whole cosmos, was love. The second most powerful thing in the cosmos was rage, pure and unadulterated, red and white and blinding, hot and seething rage. Crowley had plenty of both in him to do the impossible. “I’ve had enough of your games, Mother,” Crowley growled, dangerous. “You made the choice to turn one of your most powerful children into a demon and now it��s time that you paid the price for creating a monsssster.” The Supreme Archangel looked up to stare at him in horror as he raised hands drenched in silver blood upwards in a grand gesture and announced with a feverish glow in his golden eyes, “Hello, Aziraphale. It’s time for you to welcome your new God.”

Cast Thou Send Lightnings? by midnightdragons (G)

Cast thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are? — Job 38:35 A brief argument between angel and demon spirals a bit out of control when Crowley's tendency to become struck by lightning when caught up in the throes of his smoking anger makes itself known.

The Art of Creation by Bookwormgal (T)

Once upon a time, long before humans set foot outside of Eden and long before his inelegant landing in a pool of boiling sulfur, Crowley had been an angel. An angel with a very different name and far less cynicism. And that angel was made to build Her creations. He built stars, nebulas, and other beautiful and complicated things far out there in the cosmos. He shaped fundamental elements and materials into new creations. He molded burning fires and sculpted dust into breath-taking patterns. He started bright and powerful reactions, serving as a catalyst to spark the birth of stars. He set various celestial objects spinning. He built. He took raw materials and built wonderous things with them. He built because that was the role that She made him for. In the end, was rebuilding that much different than building? And wasn't rebuilding fairly close to healing? When it was his angel's existence on the line, Crowley was willing to grab at any chance available. He would find a way to fix what had been damaged. He would find a way to save him.

But I would walk 500 miles by Augenblickgotter (T)

There's a conspiring of foes from both sides that forcefully kidnap Aziraphale. Crowley is in hot pursuit and will stop at nothing, finding some unlikely aid along the way, and bringing up his True Form when the time is needed. Some depictions of pain and violence, minor character deaths by Holy Water, and mild gore. Also mild claustrophobic and dingy descriptions of Hell. And the boys relationship can be flat out platonic asexual best of friends or downright dirty lovers. The story is up to you and is more about how far they would go for each other. ;) No, no monster sex in this one either (comb for my last fic if you need it). Just BAMF Crowley ready to walk 500 Miles through Heaven or Hell to save his Angel.

This Is Who You Are by Azeutrecia (M)

Post S2 finale. Canon-friendly. This is a story of two tricksters …who have strong feelings for each other that they’re terrible at expressing …who have a status imbalance …who aren’t who they thought they were …who both are dealing with multiple types of trauma …in a dystopian divine+occult world …that may be entangled in a conspiracy based on the power of names and stories

Fanfiction Recommendation 137: How to Woo a Demon (Good Omens)

How to Woo a Demon - Chapter 1 - Bookwormgal - Good Omens (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

This story is great. Aziraphale decides to woo Crowley in line with how demons woo each other, but Crowley doesn't realise it . . . after all, there is no way an angel would know about demonic wooing.

Can you tell us which Good Omens fic made you cry?

Heya

This is the very first good omens fic ive read since 2020, How to Woo a Demon by Bookwormgal its so funny and filled with pining and misunderstanding pfft. Aziraphale tries to court Crowley by learning demon courting culture and its confusing Crowley with hope and denial

But its this fic by the same author that made me cry in the supermarket lmaooo, Somebody to Love which has got me bawling every other chapter cuz its a silent pining crowley fic and I always ache for pining crowleys 😭 issa modified Hanahaki fic where Satan cursed all demons to cough out plants if they ever feel love, any kind of love, as a metaphor come true for how loving God (or anything) causes only pain and suffering. Crowley gets creative and clever about how to handle his love flower curse through the millenia. Its a "through history" fic, love those, the slow burn sustains me.

Another one is called Forgotten Moments, I must warn though, its of Aziraphale erasing the scant seconds of Crowleys memory, each and every time he confesses to him throughout their lifetime. Its both for their protection and bc of his stupidity but yeah, stolen snippets of confessions of love through history. Love it though made me sad

This authors got a lot of good stuff! I hope i can find more fics to my liking although it might prove difficult as we have such an extensive catalogue of the same two dumb old men falling in love in 46 thousand different ways. Love that for us though, an eternal buffet

[houseofsannae]

Ah, sorry, I think I DID mix your fic up with another one! (Instinctively Family, by Bookwormgal, if you've read that one) Actual question though, are you going to include any other Disney characters specific to Mickey & Co.? Like, for instance, Magica or Poe De Spell, any of Scrooge's extended cast, etc?

No worries, and no I haven't, thanks for the recommendation! ^_^

As of right now, I don't have any plans to, specifically because I haven't seen anything those characters are from (either version of DuckTales, Goof Troop, any of the Mickey comics, etc). I only learned about Mortimer Mouse recently, for example :P Plans are always subject to change as I learn and experience new things, of course, so this is a "not at this time, sorry", not a hard "no".

28 pranks later 20 years later by sparrow9642

repairing pieces of a broken past by percivalthewriterIII

[ineffableclassics]

Everyone knows that demons can’t feel love. It was one of those well-established facts that no one even bothered to doubt anymore. The sky is blue, the Ineffable Plan was beyond comprehension or understanding, angels do not question or doubt Her commands, and demons can’t love. Angels could sense love and none of them ever sensed love in the presence of demons. Everyone considered that to be conclusive evidence and moved on. Believing otherwise was foolish and a waste of time.

But while it was considered an unquestionable fact of the universe, it wasn’t quite accurate. Demons were perfectly capable of feeling love. Any form of love. Despite common knowledge and despite the fact that the Fall ensured that they could no longer sense Her love, demons can experience love.

What demons can’t do, however, is feel love and survive.

Fic Rec Time!

Summary:

An encounter with a Variant results in Loki coming in contact with a dangerous magical artifact. One that is guaranteed to extinguish the life out of anyone who is unfortunate enough to be affected by it. He knows that he is doomed the moment it happens.

His friends are not likely to let that happen.

Genuinely good gen fics that still deliver emotionally are harder to find than they should be, and this one is excellent.

If you enjoy the kind of things I like to write (and read), you'll love it.

Summary: Time. Space. Reality. It’s more than a linear path. When faced with the impossible, magic does the unthinkable.

Something is coming, something bad, he knows it, he can feel it, and somewhere something that is somehow his is calling out to him, it’s what woke him up in the first place, but what is it and why is it so important?

After all there are only six infinity stones, Right?

[aziraphales-library]

HELLO LOVELY PEOPLE!! this might be too specific of a trope so if it is i’m sorry ab that but do you know of any fics where crowley is cursed or controlled in some way to hurt aziraphale? thanks and have a slay day!!!

Hi! Here are some fics in which Crowley is forced into hurting Aziraphale. Mind the tags and warnings on ALL of these ones, folks!...

Hell's Greatest Punishment by evilwriter37 (E)

Hell possesses Crowley and makes him hurt Aziraphale as a way of punishing him.

F to pay respects (I swear this isn't a crackfic) by satiricalScythe (NR)

In which upon failing to destroy the traitors to Heaven and Hell themselves, Gabriel and Beelzebub realize what they much do - if they can't destroy Aziraphale and Crowley, they'll make them destroy each other. Idk if this really earned the graphic depictions tag, but better safe than sorry. It was originally far more bloody but I cut a lot of parts out to make it work.

The Night Of Time by NuriaSchnee (E)

Aziraphale and Crowley are about to take their relationship to the next level when Gabriel and Michael's wrath falls on them. To punish them, they implant a fake reality into Crowley's memory in which he becomes a proper demon for a while and hurts Aziraphale several times. However, they leave Azirapahale untouched and aware that none of it has been real.

The Uncanny Valley by mozbee (E)

“Oi, Crawley.” He freezes, then turns, because you should never turn your back on a Duke of Hell. He sees the woman leering at him, and kicks himself for not paying attention before, to her blank eyes, the slightly sour smell wafting off her now he’s looking for it. “Have a nice night,” she rasps, and suddenly lifts her hand and blows a palmful of black powder into his face. Crowley coughs and stumbles back, out of the elevator, dropping to the floor, eyes watering. Its gone up his nose, down his throat; he can feel it, cloying and irritating. “What the fuck—” he tries, but suddenly he’s gripped with a new, urgent thought: angel. He pauses, mind perking up at the thought. Angel. He stares up at Hastur, who’s giggling and tossing long blonde hair over his borrowed shoulder. “That’s right, demon: you smell an angel.” “I—” It’s important, this bit about the angel, but it’s harder to put his finger on why. “You smell the angel,” Hastur says, and reaches out, to grip his chin in harsh fingers. “You want to kill the angel, don’t you, Crawley? Don’t you, demon?”

Fire in the Blood by Lurlur (E)

Heaven and Hell are in disarray, Earth is feeling the consequences. Crowley is hit with a lust curse from a rogue incubus which triggers a series of events that he'll never be able to undo. This fic features explicit rape and the aftermath. It is emotionally ugly. Look after yourselves.

Branded by Bookwormgal (M)

The mark on Crowley's face was not a tattoo. When Lucifer, still furious and his pride damaged, took out his frustration out on the first thing to catch his attention after the Fall. Rage, possessiveness, and a need to prove that he was not as weak as he felt when he was cast out spurred him into action. He claimed the broken and fallen creature in every way, relishing the confusion and fear. And he left a piece of his power tangled up in the former angel's essence, the only easily visible sign being a shape manifesting on his eventual corporeal body. But rather quickly, Lucifer found other things to occupy himself and the demon was sent up to Earth to cause some trouble. Six thousand years later and newly-enraged by the betrayal and halted apocalypse, Lucifer finally decides to make use of that power that he left behind. The devil is not one to surrender something that he'd claimed so easily. And the traitor would pay. He would make Crowley suffer.
