Lily Tomlin as Agnus Angst in The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe (~1980s)

[frickingnerd]

after despair & hope

pairing: nia x gn!reader

summary: nia scolds you while tending to your injuries

tags: (mutual) hurt/comfort, established romantic relationship, angst with a happy ending, crying!nia, nia rambling when anxious

"how could you be so reckless!?"

nia sighed annoyed, as she carefully tended your wounds. you had gotten into yet another fight with moebius. nia knew that you only did it to protect her, but if it was at the cost of you getting hurt, then she didn't want this! 

"you can't just take on two moebius at once, especially not N and M! have i not told you time and time again how dangerous they are? but no, of course you had to rush head first into a fight and get your ass kicked… you know, i shouldn't even be healing you right now, after that stunt you pulled! maybe that would teach you a lesson…"

nia kept rambling and despite threatening to leave your wounds the way they were, she kept healing you. just because she was upset with you didn't mean she'd let you get hurt. 

"look at that, you've gotten hurt at the same spot you did last time. if you keep this up, you'll mess up your arm so much that even i can't help you anymore. and you won't be able to protect anyone with an injury like that. then i'll have to be the one taking care of you…"

nia's eyes never once left your wounds, making sure she healed them properly. meanwhile your eyes were glued to her, admiring the queen of agnus and how cute she looked while she got angry with you. 

"really, you gotta stop being so reckless. i don't want you to get hurt everytime you leave the castle. and i don't want to worry about you whenever you leave, wondering if you're even coming back to me this time… it's hard for me to see you leave every time. i don't want to lose you, you idiot. but everytime you leave, i feel like i do! it breaks my heart to see you like this…"

suddenly, nia felt tears roll down her cheeks, ones that she hadn't even noticed had filled up her eyes. you carefully wiped them away and  caressed her cheek, making nia look at you. 

"i'm sorry. i promise you, i'll be more careful. i didn't know you cared so much about me…"

nia's cheeks turned red in an instance and she quickly turned away, wiping the remaining tears away. 

"w-well, i… i wouldn't say i care that much or anything… just a normal amount of caring! nothing to be surprised about!"

you laughed as you watched your girlfriend getting flustered over how much she cared about you. despite nia trying to hide it, she loved you a lot and was just a big softie…

1. Kaz Brekker

➳ "The clockmaker, the crow and the mantis" -> Kaz becomes part of an assassin's conspiracy to uncover who paid to have him killed.

➳ "Return to sender" -> When an old admirer continues to bother you with his letters, Kaz makes it his priority to put the fiasco to a stop.

➳ "Apple tree" -> Kaz sometimes hums a melody no one can recognize. The one who sang it to him has bewitched him as much as the tune.

➳ "Agnus Dei" -> You're a Grisha hiding from the Black General. When you reveal your power to save the Crows, Kaz must make a decision: your life or theirs? ➳ "O Rubor Sanguinis" -> Facing the Black General, you must choose whether to do the smart thing or the one you truly crave. Kaz shows affection, just not with words.

➳ "Amendmends" -> Two of your thugs get into a fight at the Crow's club, so you go apologize in person to ensure there won't be any retaliation. Kaz seems suspiciously happy at having the infamous Golden Panther indebted to him. ➳ "Amendments II: The Panther and the Duckling" -> The day comes when you can repay Kaz Brekker with the help of the mysterious "Duckling". Kaz claims you're infuriating but there might be more to his confusing feelings than he realises.

➳ "Could you ever fall in love with me?" / "I can’t even fall asleep." -> angst blurb

➳ "Embroidery" -> When his glove gets torn, you're more than happy to sew it back together and add a little detail of your own.

2. Nikolai Lantsov

➳ "Little Sun" -> Return to the sanctuary means a reunion with his beloved Солныщко. Kisses and slaps are exchanged.

➳ "Sparring" -> You face him in an army sparring match. Despite his noble title, Nikolai can't stop himself from sharing suggestive remarks.

➳ "Man of Faith" -> Nikolai's interest in the Sun Summoner makes you jealous but being the sweetheart he is, he's quick to reassure you about his devotion.

➳ "Femme fatale" -> When you reveal how you won the suspiciously heavy bag of coins, Nikolai is overwhelmed with anger at the thought of you being intimate with another man.

➳ "The King and the Swallow" -> Unexpected reunion with his childhood friend and the sworn protector of the royal family takes a dramatic turn when Nikolai inquires about her uncharacteristic, cold demeanour. Confessions are shared - the good ones and the bad ones alike.

➳ "Cinderella" -> Nikolai is a party person, you're not. But he's also a fool in love, so when you quietly disappear, he wastes no time finding you.

➳ "In Emerald Hearts, Emerald Minds" -> When Vasily asks you to forget his half-brother and marry him instead, you escape the Little Palace along Alina. Nikolai realizes something strange is going on when Kaz mentions seeing a similar emerald ring on the woman that came with the Sun Summoner. With how much you and Nikolai have been running in circles to find each other, the reunion aboard Volkvolny feels almost fated.

➳ "Sea shanties" -> Alina witnesses Sturmhond's love for his boatswain. Hurting yourself while fixing the net leads to singing sea shanties and Sturmhond almost kissing the love of his life.

➳ "Who am I to complain?" -> When your parents come to visit, Nikolai finally understands why you've never been keen to talk about them. Being the King and your husband, he isn't afraid to defy them.

SET SIXTEEN - ROUND ONE - MATCH EIGHT

"Agnus" (2022 - Konstantin Korobov) / "The Cup Of His Murders Is Flowing Over And In His Coat Shall Be Many Curses" (2017 - Teagan White)

AGNUS: never fails to fill me with a sudden and furious desire to sink my teeth into something (spottedsnake)

THE CUP OF HIS MURDERS IS FLOWING OVER AND IN HIS COAT SHALL BE MANY CURSES: Teagan Whites art is just incredible, and I love this work and another one from the same series called "Apparition" about prey animals taking revenge. The titles are modified quotes from The Prophecies of the Brahan Seer, but they are so fitting and eerie. It's such intricate and beautiful work, but the subject matter is so so dark and there is a post on instagram about refusing to depict nature healed, alive, as if nothing was wrong and it validates a lot of my existential angst but also makes me want to scream and learn more about nature and create things as beautiful as this. (light-through-the-leaves)

("Agnus" is 2022 oil and gold on canvas by Russian artist Konstantin Korobov.

"The Cup Of His Murders Is Flowing Over And In His Coat Shall Be Many Curses" is a 2017 gouache and watercolor on paper piece by non-binary American artist Teagan White. It measures 12" x 16")

Do you have recomendations (or a list) of fanfics with Crowley Whump?

I think I've given a few recs here and there but never a big rec list so here ya go! Tons of excellent Crowley whump fanfics:

Five Times Aziraphale Saves Crowley (And One Time He Fails) by Captain_Kieren Summary:

Basically what it says on the tin. 1. Holy Water 2. Exorcised 3. Thrown 4. Stabbed 5. Demon Hunter +1. Betrayed

Crowley's Armageddon and Recovery by Wolfgirl4vr Summary:

Aziraphale and Crowley couldn't stop Armageddon. Adam changed his mind, and now the war is finally happening. Crowley is captured and there is no sign of Aziraphale. As a prisoner of Heaven, Crowley endures more than he thought the Angel's were capable of. Especially from the Angel Gabriel, and through it all, all he can think about is Aziraphale, and hopes that his friend is still in hiding. Crowley only hopes that he can escape before the Angel's kill him, but is help closer than he realizes.

my first Good Omens fic please be gentle by taylor_tut Summary:

My first Good Omens fic! There's not enough Crowley whump in the world so I'm here to p r o v i d e for y'all. This one was a request from my tumblr. Aziraphale and Crowley are in charge of a holy object, and even just being close to it drains Crowley's energy. Eventually, he collapses, and Aziraphale is there for him.

Suspendin' Gravity by ahyperactivehero (ahyperactiverhero) Summary:

Takes place directly after the bus ride in episode 6. Aziraphale rejects Crowley's offer to come home with him, only to change his mind. He finds the puddle of Holy Water and assumes he's too late.

Black Lines by Eladriel Summary:

Two years after the not-apocalypse Crowley gets attacked by an old enemy and left with a wound that will kill him slowly. What will Aziraphale do when he finds out? Will they find a way to safe him?

Holy Mistakes by winterspirit13 Summary:

anonymous asked: Can you do a piece where Crowley is accidentally burned by the holy water Aziraphale gave him, and while it isn't enough to kill him he's hurt real bad and Aziraphale feels super guilty? I love your blog!

When Aziraphale gives Crowley the thermos full of holy water, it's like a leap of faith for the angel. Crowley basks in the newfound trust, but that's quickly taken away. Hurt, he sulks, and things get out of hand when Aziraphale won't pick up the phone. One thing leads to the next, and there's a very hurt demon being helped by a very worried, guilty angel.

Things turn out for the best, somehow.

I Stretch Out My Hands by sherlocktheholmes Summary:

With no final prophecy from Agnus Nutter, and no word from Heaven or Hell for months, Aziraphale and Crowley are cautiously optimistic that neither of them will face retribution. They never considered that they should fear personal revenge.

My Life With You Means Everything, So I Won't Give Up That Easily by PositivePumpkin for jessikast Summary:

After the apocalypse, house hunting with Aziraphale gets an interruption. Or, Crowley is summoned by some humans who actually want to start the apocalypse.

Palliative Practices by VerdantVulpus  Summary:

Based on the following prompt. What if every time Crowley does a good deed, he suffers pain after because it goes against his demonic nature (and the greater the good, the more intense the pain)? Then Aziraphale finds out that Crowley has been living with that pain ever since the Arrangement. or 5 times Crowley masked his pain and 1 time he accepted help.

Hell Freezes Over by lilac341 Summary:

Crowley is not supposed to be cold. Or silent. Or still. Heaven puts an icy curse on Crowley to get rid of him once and for all. Aziraphale must find out how to unfreeze his demon companion. Tenderness and angst ensue.

let sleeping snakes lie by kythen Summary:

The world doesn't end. Crowley falls asleep. And Aziraphale stays by his side, waiting for him to wake up again.

Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach by Nnm Summary:

As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following: --His clothing was expensive and stylish; --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne; --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;” --He looked angry; --He was wearing sunglasses. What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

Growing Pains by hope_in_the_dark Summary:

“So if he comes back, you’ll… what? Take him into your arms, let him back into your life? No questions asked?” Crowley grunted. The therapist — Mark, Nina had said — was sitting forward in his chair, looking at Crowley with a kind smile and wide eyes. He was what the humans would call ‘emotionally intelligent.’ Crowley was looking to tap into a little of that. Crowley goes to therapy, because he needs it. This is a story of healing, learning, growing, and an eventual happy ending. Post-Season-2.

And Will Again by justajemreally  Summary:

Crowley hasn’t breathed for seventeen minutes. His heart has thumped twice in that time.

The Deepest Pit by EdosianOrchids901 Summary:

Stricken by unexplained depression, Crowley gets stuck in bed. He can’t even cheer up once Aziraphale comes to check on him. But as always, Aziraphale is happy to keep him company even in the darkest moments.

All Good Hearts are Heavy by Sarah_hadeschild Summary:

Crowley has always dealt with bouts of depression-- periods in which he cannot bring himself to do much more than exist. Over the centuries, he grew accustomed to enduring these episodes on his own. But now, Aziraphale is with him. And although the angel cannot miracle away his lover's distress, he can try the only remedy he knows with any certainty. He can love him. (A comfort one-shot with lots of love, and very little plot)

Late For Lunch by obsidian_boi Summary:

Crowley and Aziraphale have a lunch date and Crowley is running late. He just can't seem to pull himself off of his couch, but he knows he has to get up, has to be there for his angel… He just can't seem to do it. Part 1

Never Late for Lunch by obsidian_boi Summary:

Crowely's late for lunch and Aziraphale grows worried. The demon is never late for lunch, well, at least never this late. After not hearing from his friend for a stretch of time, the angel finally brings himself to go check on Crowley, but he isn't prepared for the state he finds his friend in. He immediately wants to help Crowley, but what if there isn't anything he can do? Aziraphale's POV of Late for Lunch

Cold Showers and Dark Thoughts by obsidian_boi Summary:

Crowley's sleep is plagued with nightmares and when he wakes from one, he doesn't want to disturb his angel. Dragging himself to the shower instead, Crowley succumbs to his dark thoughts. Will his angel find him in time?

Rushing In, Rushing Out by Smooty Summary:

Crowley has a nightmare

walk like christ in grace and love by wartimelovers Summary:

“Just tell me, please, if it hurts too much.” As if, Crowley thought. Would be a funny old world if we told each other how we feel. or Crowley feels some very human effects of stepping on consecrated ground and Aziraphale tries to help.

Somebody to Love by Bookwormgal  Summary:

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.

Tension by supernaturaltimemachine Summary:

"Crowley was in pain. Not the acceptable kind either. Not anything human, like loss or doubt or a stubbed toe. Living on earth more than made up for those inconveniences. No, what Crowley was feeling was ethereal." Or, Crowley's wings hurt, and Aziraphale is determined to do something about it.

[put-me-out-of-my-destiny]

So, I'm strongly of the opinion that the logical move for DMC6 is to be about Nero tracking down his mother. And given that during the development of both 4 and 5, the idea of giving Nero a sister named Angela was floated, it would make sense to use this plot to reveal that Nero has a long lost twin sister (having twins tends to run in families, after all).

Obviously, there are so many directions that plot could be taken, both good and bad. But the version that exists in my head goes something like this:

Nero's mother wasn't just a civilian, but directly affiliated with the Order of the Sword, some kind of role in their science division (maybe she had worked under Agnus at some point? I don't know if that timeline adds up).

She saw Vergil stroll into Fortuna, with his unnaturally white hair and complete lack of subtlety, and immediately clocked him as a demon. However, even she is shocked to learn he's the son of Sparda himself.

She helps Vergil find the information he's looking for (disclaimer, I haven't read Deadly Fortune), and learns what she can about him in the process.

Between her curiosity about demons, and Vergil being unused to this kind attention... They get what they want from each other, then go their separate ways.

However, soon after Vergil has left, she discovers that she's pregnant, and is absolutely ecstatic to have found such a unique research opportunity!

She gives birth to twins, and decides to conduct an experiment: She separated them, leaving one at the orphanage, and raising the other herself, somewhere far away from Fortuna.

What hypothesis is she testing? I don't really know. Perhaps some take on nature v.s. nurture? Or maybe she's experimenting on Angela in particular, and Nero's the control subject?

I also don't know exactly what kind of mother she would be to Angela. Her being a good and loving mother to her - or initially seeming to be, at least - would really sting for Nero. I don't think it has to be one or the other, though, she can truly care for both her children even while mistreating them.

I think in this hypothetical game, the antagonist would either be Nero's mother, Angela, or both of them working together.

The former would be a lot like Arius, Arkham, or Sanctus, a human seeking demonic power (though maybe she doesn't wish to become a demon quite like Arkham and Sanctus did).

The latter would either be like Vergil in DMC3, trying to open a portal to the demon world for her own reasons, or like Credo in DMC4, aiding her mother out of love and loyalty, ignorant - or just in denial - to the damage her scheme would cause.

Her being like Vergil would be interesting if nature v.s. nurture was a big theme of this story, but her being in a similar situation to Credo would put Nero through more angst.

Something I could also see happening is Nico's loyalty being a little bit split. Obviously, she's on Nero's side, but she too sees the scientific potential of demonic power, and could possibly feel conflicted if Nero's mother were warm enough to her, and maybe even swayed to her side if she was dishonest enough. Plus, I'm 100% sure she would fall head-over-heels for Angela.

...I'll have to make another post about all about Angela, actually.

Hey You with the Pretty Face (Welcome to the Human Race)

Hey You with the Pretty Face (Welcome to the Human Race)

by KnicknacksAndTrinkets

Anathema Device had been expecting a lot of things out of her trip to England. She had expected that her flight would be delayed by half an hour, that the woman sitting next to her would snore loudly, and that the taxi driver who had picked her up from the airport would take at least 2 wrong turns. Of course, she had been absolutely right in expecting all of that, because really, her job as a professional descendent was less to expect, and more to know.

What she hadn’t expected from her trip to England was to be hit by a massive Bentley blasting Queen music as she was cycling through the backroads of a quiet Oxfordshire village. ------------------- What if Agnus Nutter had written another prophecy- about a young witch and two immortal beings forming an unlikely alliance to work to prevent the apocalypse? And what if in the end, it turned out they all had a lot more in common than they thought?

tomorrow with you

pairing: nia x gn!reader

summary: you're part of the cycle & each version of you had been in love with nia. but nia worries things might be different this time

tags: former romantic relationship, reincarnated!reader, angst with an open ending, 'mortal' x 'immortal' dynamic

you had been in love with nia everytime you got reborn. each time the two of you met again, you ended up falling in love once more. nia knew it couldn't always be like this, that eventually there would be a version of you that might not fall in love with her. at some point, her luck might run out. and nia was terrified of that day…

this new version of you was part of the ouroboros, traveling alongside noah, mio and the others. when nia saw you again, she was as happy as she could be. but quickly, doubt started to kick in. perhaps this would be the time things would change. maybe now that you were free from the flame clock, things would be different…

nia tried to act natural around you and while she didn't seem too suspicious, she knew that at some point she'd let something slip on accident, if she tried to keep things up like this. so she did what she thought to be best; talking about her feelings to someone she could trust. 

she had seen the way mio and noah looked at each other, so she figured that she'd talk to those two. her daughter and her boyfriend. perhaps an odd choice, but nia wasn't very picky. she just needed to get some things off her chest and get some advice from people who knew how difficult love could be. 

she told the two of them almost everything. that she knew you, even before aionios came to be, that you were in love with each other even back then and that you were trapped in the cycle, yet had fallen in love with her each time, until now. 

it was a lot at once for mio and noah, but after getting a grasp of the situation, they tried giving some advice. given that they were heading to origin, this might be the last time she'd see you. whatever nia had on her chest now, she had to get it off! she had to tell you about everything. and even if things went wrong, there was nothing to lose. once they'd reach origin and reboot the worlds, the two of you would return to your normal lives again. 

nia was hesitant at first, but they were right. perhaps dumping all that information on you at once was a bad idea, but not saying anything at all was even worse!

when she confronted you, things went as expected. you were overwhelmed by all the information, trying to somehow wrap your head around it. the idea of you dating the queen of agnus seemed ridiculous! and yet, there was something about her that felt familiar. somehow you wanted to believe her. 

but despite all of that, you turned her down. nia's worst nightmare had come true. this was the one time her luck had run out. 

you told her that no matter what was between the two of you, that rebooting origin was your priority now. and if nia was speaking the truth, then she'd see you again in the old world, with your memories of her still intact…

Oh man these two levels on DMD can be pretty fucking brutal, mostly due to a lot of the fights taking place within tight spaces, especially inside cages!

They even have you fight a Blitz while inside a cage! Look at that!

The first boss, Agnus, is decent, you just have to keep a cool head at the enemies he spawns in. I only really have trouble avoiding that attack where he spins two giant blades like a top and then launches them at you

After Nero is done angsting a lot about losing Kyrie (again) we go to Mission 10 and quite possibly the hardest boss in the entire game:

Uncle Dante himself!

It's very appropriate for him to be such a pain in the ass to beat. On DMD the dude's nearly untouchable, if you try hitting him with the sword he will ALWAYS block and if you try to shoot at him he will either dodge or return back fire with his own guns

The only real way to damage him is as soon as he's done with one of his attacks but you only have a brief, REALLY fucking brief window of opportunity and it's really easy to get flustered and fuck it up

He's also almost immune to the Buster Grab, even if you do manage to grab him it will just result in that animations where they both clash their swords for a while. The only way to actually damage him with a buster is to have Devil Trigger turned on

Wanna know something REALLY cool about this fight though?

If you're fighting him on a new game + (like I am) Dante will use all of the moves and weapons you had previously acquired while playing as him

No really, on your very first playthrough he won't be using half of this stuff, but the better you'll get as him the worse he'll fuck you over when fighting him.

The only thing he never uses is his Devil Trigger, I guess to communicate that, even with how hard this battle is, he's fundementally holding back against Nero.

Also, the next Mission will be the last Nero Mission for quite a while! After which we'll be switching over to the wacky whohoo pizza man himself!

And the game's real issues will start showing up...

One thing that i loved about and that goes a bit under the radar of Ashera's ascension quest, buried under great character moments and so much sweet, sweet angst, is how it works as another little sign on how Moebius might not the world as put together as the claim. The Agnus/Keves soldier cycle isn't fool proof memories aren't erased completely so eventually even without the annihilation events wiping the world of Aionios out the cycle will eventually create forces that will fight against it, if things kept going Ashera would probably start her own city like rebellion force because the copper they're trying to sell is shit

jesus christ Ashera was executed so many times that she’s still feeling the trauma over a thousand years later, what the fuck

Written in 1977 by Jane Wagner, this monologue from "The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe" still holds weight in present day (an astonishing 44 years later omg what is time?!) Sharing this video from the 1991 film adaptation today since it's Lily Tomlin's birthday 💗

Video transcription:

"On the radio today, I hear them say, 'the air today is unacceptable; people with breathing problems should not go out.' I wanted to shout, 'what's unacceptable is that the air is unacceptable.' I think, 'wow, breathing is a biohazard.'"

[emergency alarm begins blaring in background]

"I rush to my behavior modification center. They can help me cut down on my habit of breathing. From the cubicle next to mine, I hear: 'Do you want to stop drinking?' 'No!' 'Do you want to stop smoking?' 'No!' 'Do you want to stop over-eating?' 'No! I want to stop caring that I eat and drink and smoke too much!'

[alarm abruptly stops in background]

"New marketing business venture: start behavior modification-type religion where people can go to learn to stop caring. The candlelight service is about to begin. Anyone who wants to is welcome to come in. I want to share something vital I just read in this self-help book I took. 'Will' by G. Gordon Liddy - master of the Watergate caper, my new guru - who in holding his hand over a lit candle said, 'the trick is not to mind it.' ...

['you light up my life' by debby boone, which has been quietly underscoring the 'candlelight service', swells at the chorus]

"...and I don't mind it. When I first came into this world, Elvis was already fat. And I didn't mind it when I heard Ozzy Osbourne bit the head off a bat. I don't mind I was born after the time of the crime known as Watergate, and I must have missed out on those things that made America great. But I don't mind it. And I don't mind it, no matter how much contempt I have for society, it is nothing compared to the contempt society has for me. I didn't mind it when I learned the phrase 'truth in advertising' was just some lie thought up by some guy in advertising. And I don't mind that I took my goldfish and I put it in water from the faucet and it died; our drinking water caused it. I tried my mouth-to-mouth resuscitation skills. My dad said, 'you are the daughter of a scientist; it should have been mouth-to-gills.'

"Oh, but I don't mind it. I don't mind it. I don't mind each morning I get up, I feel like I want to vomit. I don't mind that the teenage suicide rate is soaring like Halley's Comet. The boy in school that I love most died last year of an overdose, but I don't mind it. I've set as my goal to get so strong I could peel onions all day long, and never shed one tear. I want my skin to thicken so if I am panic-stricken when the Greenhouse Effect is here, I won't even feel the fear as I watch me and the world disappear. The trick is not to mind it. If you're looking for peace, this is where you will find it.

"Gordon Liddy showed me the way. I have been on heavy metaphor maintenance all day. For life is like that candle flame, and we are like Gordon Liddy's hand hovering over it. And it hurts like hell. But the trick is not to mind it."

[gasps in pain]

"Oh... I mind it. I mind it. I mind it."
