A River of Stars, Ch. 2

Chapter 2: Duty and Desire

Rating: T

Summary:

Aziraphale is missing training. The plans for Alpha Centauri are late. As Aziraphale and the Starmaker get swept up in a whirlwind of new emotions their responsibilities begin to fall by the wayside. With the angels around them taking notice, it's only a matter of time before a higher power will have to step in and get the Great Plan back on track.

Excerpt:

“The Angel of the Eastern Gate,” Gabriel said in clipped tones. “Is that who this is?” Staring off into the distance the Starmaker nodded curtly. “He’s in every one of these ‘sketches,’ then?” Another nod. “And you think this is an appropriate use of your time… ogling a cherub when you have actual important work to be doing?”

“Well… I mean, ogling might be a bit of an overstatement, if you’re asking me.”

“I’m not.” Gabriel’s voice was hard, and the Starmaker flinched at the sound of it. It was one that he heard often enough to know that Gabriel wasn’t in the mood for any other opinion. “The plans are due tomorrow. And I’m not interested in any excuses. Put aside any… whatever you have for this lesser angel and get to it.”

She exists!! And she only took a couple of weeks and a new handsaw to make. And yes, you can manipulate both the trunk to make words and the jaw to make chomps (which is probably my favorite part)

2024 October 30th

A friend introduced me to the game Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival (by adamgryu on itch.io) and I was so thoroughly charmed by it that I dropped everything to plan out a carving. Pumpkin carving is very serious business after all. :]

I really didn't expect it to come out this well! The carving in that game is a technical marvel but it is uhhhh fussy. And not very precise. And while you get an undo button, there's no eraser or means to sketch!

I descended into madness a lil' bit on Siffrin, but they're recognizable! Success!! RIP to his eyebrow and silver pins though. The mental gymnastics required for his eye/hair and hand did collateral damage to them. Loop's hand also took me like 6 tries lmfao.

Bonus stuff under the cut!

Ghost selfie ghost selfie!

If 2024's server is still up while you're reading this and you want to see my pumpkin for yourself, have directions!

Go to the Forgotten World alternate universe, turn right from the spawn point, and hang right following the road. You should see a big arch sign for "Dusty Fields." Follow the road under it, and my pumpkin is on the left near the red barn!

Time taken on the digital art part was 4 hours and 7 minutes. Loop took half the time Siffrin did, they were MADE for the polygon lasso tool. No clue how long I spent head-in-hands-ing on the carving part, haha.

Bonus WIP lore! I did a little test to get a feel for the restrictions of carving before I started drawing, and behold their magnificence:

Can you see why I was surprised the final pumpkin came out good? I had "Expectation VS Reality" jokes ready to go, but they were unnecessary. 😂

Lastly, have Light Mode Goofy Loop because they killed me when I flipped the lights on. They are SO crusty <3
