#good omens swap au

[mommyashtoreth]

Whenever you see a gomens swap au (one of the only interesting types of gomens au, I fear) there's a 50% chance it'll actually be "what if Aziraphale was the demon and Crowley was the angel" and a 50% chance it'll be "what if we lived in the timeline where Michael Sheen was actually cast as Crowley". And there IS a difference between the two but people act like there isn't

@ato-dato s human swap au is giving me that sweet sweet serotonin needed to draw thems middle aged disasters

You know that moment when you're helping your crush neighbor move his plants even tho he doesn't really need to move them anywhere and pretends he does just so you would spend time together?

Yeah they don't know either

💛🕊️ Five times Aziraphale gave Crowley a gift plus one time Crowley gave a gift in return.

DID YOU KNOW THAT @contritecactite, once again, wrote a VERY GOOD fic about my bad omens spouses??? and it's so wonderfully GOOD???!?!?!!

anywhooo, a very big special thanks again to elle for writing this! it's been just a real treat talking to them and the klapollomb gomens s2 support group about bad omens 🥺 i'm really, really thankful that y'all decided to indulge me and my freakingg swap au wheezes <33

i'm gonna cut myself off here and ramble more under keep reading :0]

like these drawings? they're prints, here! | like what i do? support me on ko-fi!

seeing this get written was an experience! one of the things keeping me alive during prelim exams LOL if i remember correctly, this kind of started bc i was curious if bomens zira would actually have, i guess, a real demon equivalent the way shax (stork), beelzebub (fly), and furfur (deer) do. so i looked up the words 'crow demon' and whaddya know!

a crow demon!! and what's that? "cause Love"?

what a perfect fit for demon!aziraphale! and really, i was only messing around the first time i had the idea of "haha lol wouldn't it be funny if demon aziraphale was a crow", and then bam! all of it started to, surprisingly, fit well together pfttt (special thanks to bepo for being the one to piece it all together wheezes <33) (also, just really thank you all for bouncing ideas with me, it really does make me happy dfgdhjd <3333)

and then elle wrote a little snippet at first (IIRC) and then he just feakign!!!!!!! WOAGH!!!!!!! just, tasty delicious words, a fic that made me kick my feet like i was a schoolgirl while reading the whole thing ASKSKS <333

i'm really happy with all the spot art i drew for this! wanted it to look very uhhh, i wouldn't say storybook, but watercolor illustrations were definitely a huge inspiration! i wanted them to feel as nice and cozy as YOU would feel while reading elle's fic <3

i do gotta thank elle again for making these two fem-presenting when they were at the dowlings' bc then i get to draw butch gardener crowley. do you know how much that means to me? do you know do you do y do you know how m how much that how m b butches butches butches .

Good omens swapped:

Aziraphale: Aziraphale hates the term demon, he prefers to be called a “fallen Angel” if he is needed to be referred to at all. He spends his existence in complete sorrow, which is represented in his nightingale companion which follows him everywhere. She does not sing, for the female nightingales are mute. He spends his time obsessing over trying to one day be holy once more. This can often lead him to extreme measures taken. Destroying himself in the process. It’s not that he wants to go back to heaven, he just wants to figure out who he is, to be good, that’s all he ever wanted to be after all, good.

Aziraphales fall came from multiple instances of right intention, wrong action. After meeting the Angel Raphael and hearing his intriguing questions, Aziraphale voiced them in his own ways. While Raphael was much more careful about his “radical” Ideas, Aziraphale saw no issue in bringing up these questions. Being a cherub, most shrugged him off or found him annoying, until he was assigned to the garden of Eden. There, Aziraphale became curious about the apple tree God had told the humans not to eat from. They were off limits to humans, but surely not angels? In his sporadic Inquiry, he took a bite from the apple tree. Finding the taste astonishing, he offered Eve an apple as she passed by. For surely he should share the delicious creation God had made? Soon realizing his mistakes, he frantically offered his flaming sword to the couple, hoping this act could redeem his sin. He was wrong.

With all of the mistakes Aziraphale made, he was casts from heaven, and became fallen. His eyes “bleed” tar like tears in the presence of other demons(or when he is emotional), as if his body is reminding him of his fate. He became incredibly emotional after the fall, and often times his emotions become uncontrollable. This is especially the case in his specific job.. which is punishing sinners. For that’s the best thing a demon can do that heaven will not.

Raphael: Raphael can only be explained as quite an extraordinary and unusual Angel. His opinions and questions he asks carefully will often lead to quiet some debate. While most angels found him a sprain in their wing, Raphael simply was too important to send off. And the Angel knew this. He did not agree with heaven in all terms, especially when it came to how things ran. This lead him to try and separate and distance himself from his responsibilities, not like they ever checked anyway. So he spent most his time on earth running a green shop and meeting with his odd friend, the old book shop seller across the road.

Raphael doesn’t think heaven is as cracked up as it is supposed to be, and he tries desperately to convince Aziraphale the same. He sees how destructive heavens ideals were to Aziraphale’s mind, and saw how torturous it was to reside in hell. But despite his many times offering azirpahale a life outside of heaven and hell, he is often rejected. Raphael feels responsible for a part of Aziraphales fall. Putting all these ideas and questions into him that were his own. He knows the only reason he hasn’t fallen as well is because of his status, and feels a heavy guilt when it comes to that. So In return, he tries to do his part in protecting Aziraphale.. from himself and the destructive mindset he was manipulated into.

So sorry this is so long they’ve been on my brain for days! Anyway, hope you like my take on the role reverse au that the fandom has created! I’ve had fun thinking up new ideas, but I can’t take credit for all of them, @sabellart helped me a lot in coming up with ideas especially for Aziraphale!

[spritepespi]

that otp meme or whatever

[ho-ho-homosxual]

Aziaraphale: I'm so happy, I could kiss you!

Crowley: Um, neat!

~later~

Crowley, lying face down on her bed: I said “neat”. Who the fuck says neat these days? It's not neat to say neat but I said it anyways because I'm fucking stupid!

Azwren, reading a book: Don't beat yourself up too much. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what I did when Dovey confessed his love for me?

Crowley, turning on his side and looking up at him: Didn't you thank him?

Azwren, closes the book and looks at the ceiling: I fucking thanked him.

my own swap version :3

i rly want to put more on paper about the many more things i came up with for them, but im not sure if i can cause of how busy i am 😩

[mommyashtoreth]

I KNOW I've posted abt au names already but people are also bad at "swap au" names. The thing about gomens is that Aziraphale and Crowley are not and are not meant to be analogues for real-life theological figures. Within a swap au, there's no reason for Aziraphale to be named after a "real" demon or Crowley to be named after a "real" angel. "Aziraphale" is a made-up name that Gaiman and Pratchett thought "sounded angel-like" and "Crowley" is the name of a real occultist who became quite famous in British pop culture, especially with the misconception that he was a Satanist. Therefore, angel!Crowley needs to be named like a white Evangelical baby and demon!Aziraphale needs to be named, like, Blavatsky or something

[u3pxx]

shut it! just because i’m an angel does not mean i am nice.

(now i don't actually know what the in-universe context for this/what would've driven them to make the same pose, i just wanted to redraw this scene bc i thought it'd be funny with their counterparts pftt)

GOOD OMENS SWAP AU VALENTINE'S

I thought it'd be fun to draw Baraqiel and Azira for today (these are my swap!AU versions of Aziraphale and Crowley)

[anteakwa]

tried my hand at a good omens swap au of my own :D (small synopsis under cut)

basically azazel (aziraphale) fell in place of raphael (crowley) who was spared to save the archangels' reputation, but in turn was permanently stationed on earth until armageddon to perform blessings and smite demons. but he quickly learned that the archangels weren't actually keeping track of how many demons he was smiting, so he just focused on blessings. he never really regained his faith in heaven after that and held contempt for heaven and the other archangels, while azzie believed his falling was a mistake and thinks that if he proves himself enough then he'll be accepted back into heaven as an angel. of course raphael knows heaven isn't all it's cracked up to be and tries to tell azzie he's better off making a life for himself on earth like he has, but azzie isn't great at listening.

in the present day, raphael owns an office where he performs blessings for humans in need, while azzie keeps a collection of ancient artifacts he definitely did not steal and obtained totally legitimately.
