#aziraphale is an underappreciated beauty

[ingravinoveritas]

I saw this image in a meta post by vroomvroom.... Though to share it with you so as to brighten up your day XD

Haha well thank you so much! This is quite lovely, as there are few things more gorgeous than Sheen booty...other than the man said arse is attached to, of course. I actually had a really rough day at work yesterday--which is why I haven't answered Asks/temporarily turned off Asks entirely, because there are so many in my inbox and I didn't want to disappoint yet more of my followers by being behind in answering them-so this is just the pick-me-up that I needed.

I will also say that we talk a lot about the costume choices for Crowley and how tight David's trousers are, but there is something to be said for excellent tailoring--regardless of tightness. Aziraphale's trousers are not tight, but they are perfectly tailored and show off Michael's shape gorgeously. I know Michael had some input into Aziraphale's clothing choices, but it's just amusing to me that he's supposed to be so "stuffy" and "soft," yet when you put those clothes on Michael, it's all softness underlined by barely concealed strength and muscle, which is quite visually appealing, albeit in a completely different way to David/Crowley.

So yes, I very much appreciate this delightful gift, and you thinking of me when you saw it. xD Thanks for writing in! x

drop your favorite good omens fics pls babe

I’ve only just dipped my toes into the fandom so i haven’t read NEARLY enough to make anything that one could call a rec list but oops my finger slipped

Here’s a hilarious short fic i just read where aziraphale and crowley confess to each other but they both think the other is talking about a different demon / different angel

These post s2 bad communication fics are shamefully underappreciated and deserve more kudos and comments

Ohhh this little delicious fic where crowley pretends he doesn’t care about a fallen aziraphale to save him in hell

Yes i AM one of the ten thousands of people who have read and loved the crowley therapy fic

Aziraphale takes crowley on dates but misunderstandings ensue omg this fic deserves so many more readers

This fic is pure poetry i’m telling you the writing… omg. Beautiful retirement aziraphale and crowley forever rec

I canNOT stop thinking about this loophole sex fic which is SO tender and SO emotional and all the things. All. The. Things.

People please reblog or comment with more recs i really wanna read more but i don’t know where to start. Self recs are allowed btw. In fact i should mention my third wheeling jesus fic

[a-very-sparkly-nerd]

Okayyy I was gonna do this earlier but anxiety, however I cannot let such a masterpiece go underappreciated any longer. 

Your fic where Rayla asks Soren to walk her down the aisle at her wedding (the devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me) made me so emotional 😭 the way she asked him, the reasoning because she doesn't need her parents the way she needs them, how Soren called her his sister, how she told she loves him and kissed him on the cheek, how he said that she looks beautiful and like a fairytale, THE BLUE ROSE AND THE SYMBOLISM OF THAT 😭 😭 😭 😭 

I always had a thought that he would be in the wedding in some way and the fact that someone else put this into words so eloquently and perfectly and preciously just makes me so ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ !!!!!

As a huge fan of the Sorayla sibling-ship im in a puddle melted onto the floor, on the verge of actual happy tears. I dont think you understand what you did to me and my heart. Thank you so much 💓💓💓. You are an absolutely fabulous writer and creator. mwah 😘

LITERALLY WHAT OMG THANK YOU 😭

Me rn (bc I ❤️ Aziraphale):

It honestly just started off at like midnight as "Soren should give Rayla a flower at her wedding. What flower? OOH BLUE ROSE BECAUSE HE TRIED TO KILL HER WHEN SHE WAS HOLDING ONE." And I had an idea in my notes file of "Soren and/or Ez walks Rayla down the aisle bc her parents suck" (or at least something along those lines lol) and then it was like lightning struck. I just love it when things click!

PS, my personal fave moment is Soren choosing Rayla over his sister and how I wrote that. I reread it and kick my legs 🤭

(the fic, if anyone's interested!)

Good omens for the fandom ask! :)

oh I am SO glad you asked <3

Marcela's Good Omens:

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Aziraphale. I think about him 26/7, and the extra 2 hours I actually see him in the 4th dimension after a nightshift. she's everything and I'm just Ken. he's also the sun and the stars and he has a beautiful nose. by god, I would hand-repair that waistcoat

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

Muriel!! not a discovery here. such a baby. but I do approach that sentiment with wariness, because of their autistic undertones (and I've seen some people bringing attention to the babification of "adult" characters for those characteristics. personally, I think all angels are clueless and a little naive, as isolated as they are in Heaven. some of them simply don't let it show). I adore them, the cuteness and chaotic potential is off the charts. let Crowley adopt them already

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

look LOOK it's Mrs. Sandwich actually. I feel like everyone loved her and her brief kinship with Crowley, but she's so underappreciated and should have a least one single uninterrupted scene to herself, is what I'm saying. she's an icon.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

*basing on the description because I feel bad calling them glup shitto ksjhsdf

Saraqael - my eyes do a zero point focus whenever they appear on screen. like, what are your motivations. how do you remember Crowley, why did you help him. who allowed you to be so chill in Heaven, Heaven isn't chill? what do you know. what is your plan. it also helps that Liz Caar is an amazing actress and I would watch anything she's in

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

i feel like that's not the definition I know of "poor little meow meow" - it's more like, I love them, but they are so wet and pathetic? so. the very special way Crowley breaks down during the fire at the bookshop and then when he's so drunk he thinks he's hallucinating Aziraphale. the saddest wettest snake moment. he's so devastated i'm almost surprised he doesn't meow. he needs a hug so bad

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

ngl I want Eric (the disposable demon) destroyed in every way possible besides actual holy water stuff. he needs to keep coming back like a cockroach, it's one of my favourite gags in the show

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

hey remember the utter Asshole of S1? I'd send him to superhell so he could have the time of his life with his future flyspouse and speedrun the resignation letter process. but also, because he deserves it. it would fix him. that was fun <3 if you wanna send me an off-anon ask with your username I'll tag you too!!

oh, did someone say Good Omens podfic recs? I got Good Omens podfic recs! Really, what I got is podficcer recs. Protip, if you enjoy fanfic read aloud (podfic), the best thing to do is find your fave podficcers in a fandom and follow them. Here are some Good Omens recs by podficcer with a couple samples from each person, but in most cases these podficcers have done many fics so I encourage you to check out their author page on AO3! The list:

Podfixx is very prolific and does amazing Crowley and Aziraphale voices! Does anyone need me to rec Podfixx at this stage? Nonetheless, I am. Some of my faves are The Grindr Logo Doesn't Even Have a G In It, Morning Has Broken, and of course Slow Show.

klb is wonderful! such moving emotional performances, and I always see something new from the fic in their voicing of it. I'm of course biased towards their podfic of my fic long distance, but may I also suggest all the effects of drunkenness and The Curious Attractiveness of Others?

Thimblerig does absolutely beautiful readings, with great attention to sensuality of language and description. For that I especially recommend The Adoration of the Fallen and Aphasia

Semperfiona is an amazing podficcer who knows just how to make the most important beats of a story land perfectly. I loved In the Pocket of the Universe, Six Days at Mr Fell's, and To a Nunnery Go, and Quickly, Too (note the excellent taste in amazing queer themes, another huge plus in a podficcer!)

1lostone has such a talent for dramatic irony in narration, and for being able to communicate both the character and what the narration thinks of the character in their voice. I very much enjoyed Honest Angel and A Metaphor of Some Kind.

CompassRose has amazing pacing—I love how measured and deliberate their narration is, while also being soft and sensual. I loved Part of the Whole Design and Follow the White Lines but there's so much gold here!

ReadByBelle has such a lovely narrative voice that just carries me along. I would recommend A Home at the Beginning of the World and A Guarantee and Not a Promise

Triedunture does gorgeous readings, I think mostly of their own fic? They're so lovely and immersive. I loved Light Years and For the Angel Who Has Everything.

There are so many great and talented podficcers out there making Good Omens podfic! And podfic is one of the most underappreciated fan forms, so if you like these podfics, remember to go back and give 'em a comment or a kudos.

Hey! Thank you so much for all the amazing you do…!

I just wondered if you had any good recommendations for fics with audio options?

Thanks!!

Hello! I assume by audio options you mean podfics? We have a #podfic tag with a few. I don't listen to them myself, but here are some fics I've read and loved that have podfics available...

[Podfic] Petrichor & Parchment by Literarion (E)

“Mr. Crowley, I presume?” Aziraphale asked in lieu of an introduction, which was not forthcoming. The guy hadn’t even removed his sunglasses. Oh God, he had a tattoo on his face. Aziraphale wasn’t one to judge, but… what kind of gardener had a snake tattoo on his face?

[Podfic] Summer's End by Literarion (E)

2095. Britain is a post-apocalyptic wasteland ravaged by droughts, the collapse of civilisation, and hordes of the undead. Despite that, Aziraphale’s life is actually pretty good. He has his caravan, his books, and his work, offering his services to the men who stop by Tadfield on their arduous journey north. One day, a mysterious stranger knocks on his door. Crowley is charming and handsome and he appears to know his way around a vegetable garden. He comes with the tempting offer of a mutually beneficial arrangement. But it’s in Aziraphale’s best interest not to get too attached. A dystopian cottagecore sex worker AU.

[Multivoice Podfic] Choose Your Princes Wisely by Multiple (T)

“There’s an enchanted castle West in the Hellian slopes, and apparently it comes with a prince looking for a bride or bridegroom to free him from a dark fae’s curse.” “I see,” Aziraphale says finally, when he realizes both Gabriel and Uriel are staring at him expectantly. “You want me to marry a beast?” Gabriel's mouth flattens. “I want you to take this gods’ blessed opportunity to secure your family’s future for good." OR Aziraphale is a professional quest hero who just wants to sit by the fire and read a book, if his overbearing family will ever let him; Crowley is a serpent demon who needs a gullible hero he can con into gathering some critical ingredients for a human corporation spell. Hijinks and a lot of terribly inconvenient feelings ensue.

[Podfic] Something to do with these sacred words by nantook (T)

Crowley confesses early, and Crowley confesses often. Aziraphale never knows quite what to say.

[Podfic] Right Here by Im_Not_Occult (E)

Although Aziraphale has sensed Crowley's love for millennia, after their trials he decides to be honest about his own feelings. So desperate to finally be close, Aziraphale doesn't anticipate that physical intimacy might be rather overwhelming for an ethereal being in a human body. He has wonderfully transcendent celestial experiences that take him away from the moment with Crowley. Together, he and Crowley discover a new level of intimacy as they try to work out this issue--and the shape of their new Arrangement. Featuring: 16k words of unrepentant softness, open conversations about sex, ethereal and human intimacy, a certain promised picnic, and a little bit of bickering between hereditary enemies.

[Fic & Podfic] Press L in the Chat (for Love) by Multiple (E)

Bickering fan-content creators Aziraphale and Crowley only have three things in common — they are both avid fans of a new revolutionary TV series about pirates, they are popular for their fantastic fanfiction and fanart… and they are members of the same discord server. Neither of them likes the other, but across the chaotic virtual world of a discord chatroom, who knows what can happen when these two unlikely fans are paired up for an exciting collaboration? Us. We know ;) Discord Server AU — a collaboration between Phoenix_Soar (fic) and Djapchan (multivoice podfic organization & editing) for Pod-Together 2022

Anthony J. Crowley is a talented architect (between jobs, temporarily). He has everything he ever wanted—a posh flat, a vintage car, and his plants. He should be happy and yet happiness eludes him.

Until his friend introduces him to Aziraphale—a kind stranger who has just inherited a cottage which is in dire need of renovating.

Could the two of them put their differences aside and overcome their anxieties for long enough to build something new and beautiful together...?

Next entry in the Bird Omens series, our respective micromanagers of Heaven and Hell. I chose a bald eagle for Gabriel because it’s just pure irony and I love it, also I’m still not over drawing a bald eagle with a 'do and a full suit. Beelzebub is a northern bald ibis/waldrapp — or if you’re in my household because ‘stralya: a bin chicken, which is a critically threatened old-world bird species that are underappreciated for their unique style of beauty. 

Gabriel’s halo is bronze ink, with Orion as his constellation. Beelzebub’s infernal halo is in pearlescent red ink, with Gemini as their constellation. 

I also included the process shot of initial base inks, and the irridescence buildup for Beelzebub’s feathers; they have no black on them at all, it was built up with 11 colours and toned with grey. 

Crowley is up next in the project! 

Others in the series: Aziraphale 

[aziraphales-library]

I really have to recommend A Little Place in the country by die_traumerei (dietraumerei on tumblr). It has: butch Aziraphale, genderqueer Crowley, a beautiful ace relationship, SO MUCH CUDDLING, disabled Crowley, queer found family...(basically everything you could ever want!) imo it is grossly underappreciated and I'm trying to change that. It's already at almost 100k and it is the perfect time to start reading it!

Of course!

A Little Place in the Country by die_traumerei

Wanting a change, Crowley and Aziraphale decide to buy a place in the country and fix it up. It goes exactly the way you'd think, and exactly opposite of the way they thought.

(Featuring a female-presenting Aziraphale and a Crowley who experiments a lot with gender. Also, a lot of discussion on drywall.)
