Another image/scenario my brain gave me, submitted for examination...

Crowley, brooding like heck after TF15, is at GMC/GMD, or maybe some random cafe with outdoor seating, when Shax shows up looking horrendously smug. In a moment of petty, spiteful foolishness that's apparently strong enough to override her self-preservation instincts, she tosses a slightly heat-damaged ring and pocket-watch-and-chain onto the table and gloats to Crowley about how his ridiculous little angel is Satan's new favourite toy, so why shouldn't he (Crowley) take the opportunity to get an upgrade? [gestures to herself]

Crowley stands up, but otherwise goes very very quiet and very very still; Shax somehow fails to notice just how volcanically furious he is even though he's emitting rather a lot of smoke. She clues in somewhat when a red glow begins pulsing under his skin and he snarls, "An upgrade? YOU??? After ssssssix thousssssand yearsssss of Aziraphale?????" The penny really drops when Crowley smites her with lightning hard enough to outright discorporate her and leave the pavement where she was standing glowing white-hot.

Crowley flops back into his chair, picks up the ring and considers putting it on his finger, but then miracles up a chain to wear it around his neck instead, on the grounds that for anything involving rings and fingers, Aziraphale should be both physically present and lucid enough to provide input.

He turns his attention to the pocket watch, turning it in his hand and running his fingers over the so-familiar surface. He opens it, and receives rather a shock when he sees the photograph from 1941, miraculously shrunk down and fixed inside the lid! Once the emotions have worn off sufficiently, he closes the watch and attaches it to his own waistcoat, while planning a recklessly daring rescue mission.

---

Not sure how in character any of this might be for Crowley or Shax, but what the heck! I really like the idea that the photo's in Az's pocket watch -- hidden in plain sight, in possibly the safest place in all Creation :D (No-one's going to be taking that watch from Az easily!)

...And I literally only realised while typing this that the scenario parallels a certain other shenanigan involving important memory-related things hidden in a pocket watch, with DT in a lead role! :D

This was wild in a great way, @jotun-philosopher! Shax really needs some work on romantic overtures... 😂 I love the idea of the photo being in Aziraphale's pocket watch! I know some people think they destroyed it and I could see it both ways but I'm a sap and hope they still have it hidden somewhere. Love the idea of the magician having it hidden secretly on him this whole time.

Your post had me a bit 😭 though (in an angsty, good way lol) because I realized that while I have thought about the fact that I think that S3 Aziraphale might look a bit different in the present, I haven't been thinking that much about how him getting to that point means the clothes he's been wearing for over 200 years and his watch and his ring are going to be gone. I know we had a short taste of that a little in S1 when he's discorporated but then when Adam brought him back, the full Aziraphale starter kit came back with him. There is the possibility that Aziraphale remains in the same outfit but it seems more likely to me that it'll change for a bit.

I'm thinking maybe it won't be quite so dire as him never having the option of recovering any of it that he might like to have if only because I feel like we can't have been looking at that angel ring for the last two seasons without it being given to Crowley but I have the feeling that while we'll undoubtedly love whatever Aziraphale's look in the present is, when the flashbacks start, we'll be all THE TARTAN BOW TIE, THE VEST, THE WATCH 😭😭😭for a bit.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

thanks for the tag, @seasidesandstarscapes !! 💖

How many works do you have on AO3? 40 :)

What's your total AO3 word count? 137,805

What fandoms do you write for? my active ones right now are the boys in the boat and gloryhammer, but i consider myself a terror/the north water writer despite barely touching any of my fics in yearsssss. i love boat media what can i say !

Top five fics by kudos? i was something made for god to label fragile (now i'm stuck) - 1149 (OFMD) out of time, eternal heatstroke - 641 (OFMD) sure as the sun come up from the south - 380 (OFMD) steppin' around in a desert of joy - 311 (Ted Lasso) I'm a stitch away from making it (and a scar away from falling apart) - 279 (IT Chapter 2)

Do you respond to comments? yes!!! sometimes uhhh years late but that's only because i forget that i only replied in my head. i think even the smallest comment deserves a thank you :) <- tiny fandom rarepair enjoyer mindset

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? amazing question i could list like 6 immediately with vastly different vibes but i'm gonna pick it always leads to you in my hometown (The Boys in the Boat) because i looove the ending. those men are not having a good time with their emotions and marital status.

What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? i HAVE to go with hustling for the good life (never thought i'd meet you here) (Bullet Train) it's one of my fave fics ever and i love the ending so much 🥺🥺 need those guys to be happy (AND ALIVE!) forever and ever

Do you get hate on fics? oh i used to get death threats yeah!! deeply whatever 2 me though i'm writing for me and the 5 freaks who live in my pocket

Do you write smut? less and less lately but yeah :)

Craziest crossover? i don't write crossovers :)

Have you ever had a fic stolen? not that i know of, thankfully!

Have you ever had a fic translated? no, and i'm not sure i'd be into it!! i wouldn't want a translation in a language i don't know because i wouldn't be able to ensure that things are worded the way i want them to be. i've translated my own writing before and i know that's a struggle even when i'm the original writer so you know.

Have you ever co-written a fic before? also no, once again i'm very very controlling about how i want my writing to look and feel and taste. i couldn't write together with someone else without ruining our relationship i think

All time favorite ship i will always always always come back to eddie carr/doc thorne from the second jurassic park novel. they're so crazymaking i'm forever obsessed with them.

What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? a so far unnamed continuation of call to rise (Gloryhammer) that lives as a long ass outline and several disjointed scenes in my wip folder. i haven't forgotten about her but i have also not made any progress :(

What are your writing strengths? NOT narration/dialogue balance that's for sure!! i'll get so carried away with my beloved descriptions and fun narration that i'll forget to write a single line of dialogue until i'm 600 words in

Thoughts on dialogue in another language? it's one of my big fic icks to be frank 😭 i simply don't think switching back and forth between two different languages does either one justice. the rhythm is different! the vibe is different! it's always always jarring and a lot of times not done well at all. i avoid it when i'm reading and i don't write it

First fandom you wrote in? everyone can judge me for this. it was hollywood undead rpf

Favorite fic you've written? posssssibly let me under your skin (The Terror) i just like the vibe so so much. absolutely miserable depressing yet tender small town armitozer. beloved!!!! but i have so many unpublished ones i absolutely adore, it would be hard to pick. also i didn't feel like linking my other fav fic which is the dead doviest dead dove i've ever written. it fucks though

If you were forced to write only one genre for the rest of your life (like James Patterson lol) what would you want it to be? keeping this makeshift 20th question by seasides because i like it :) my preferred genres would be either period fiction (not specifying when because i want the wiggle room) or nonfiction. i would LOVE to write nonfiction. who's got the time though

i'm gonna tag @duesternis @derry-rain @smolsleepyfox and @zonkutonshorrifyingpeenie if you guys feel like it :))

[randomthunk]

Hi I just found your blog again after being obsessed for yearsssss as a preteen and I do not remember the “wife” being in your bio so I just want to give you a (presumably very late) congratulations!! I literally still think about your old whouffaldi art every time doctor who comes up in my life. As a kid when I first found tumblr, before I made an account (I was a rule follower and waited until I turned 13 to make my account 💀) I would literally just pull up your blog specifically at all hours of the day to get my 12/clara fix, so you are like. A very intrinsic part of me winding up on a site I’ve been on active of for 10 years now/making my first every social media account on 8 years ago. Anyways sorry I’m rambling I’m just excited to have found you again and I hope you are doing very well all these years later and thank you very much for all the content back in the day hope you have a nice day bye :3

And to REALLY blow your mind, I haven't just been married for 2 years, but I'm also now PREGNANT. Crazy!

This is such an insanely humbling thing to read (thank you), and not only am I flattered (thank you again), but I also relate immensely to it. I have scattered bookmarks of artists who drew stuff I liked (especially when it was niche) and I would just go and look at it, study it, revel in it. Even when it was like, blogs that never updated, I still enjoyed popping in and browsing, as if I was going through some strange little gallery.

I do sometimes think about the fact that not only have I been online for a long time, but I've had this dang blog for so long. I started it in late 2010, and it's 2024 - that's a longass time to hold on to ONE social media account and consistently update it. There are 14-year-olds who could be following me who were born the year this place started. The impact on people younger than me is...a really strange thing to think about. Eveyone's roughly my age, right? No? Huh.

[purebredpussyhound]

At least 3 of these are one really annoying curious anon hi blows kisses um will you talk about underwater head??? Ive never considered the options there

It's been ages and I've only given it but I was told that it just feels better. I do also just like pressure of having to hold my breath while I do it. I haven't had easy pool access in yearsssss

[the-vanir-queen]

Go to the dentist! I just went and if I had waited longer it could've cost me multiple teeth. Please go ASAP

😭😭 I haven't gone in yearsssss they're gonna judge meeeeee

[fearsomeandwretched]

I shouldn't have to say this but I actually haven't bought make up in yearsssss I'm trying to get back into it and I had to pick up some stuff lol obviously this is nowhere near an every day or regular thing for me

[setsugekka]

Floral lace had me tossing and turning in my bed, kicking my feet and giggling like a school girl !!

It's the perfect amount of fluff and cheekiness ; i mean the pinning had me on my toes, the playful banter is chef's kiss, and i couldn't wait for the moment where the mc would just cave in ASDGFGZJEGAFIA

You write so beautifully it makes me want to read this over and over again ❤️❤️❤️

hewwo! what a lovely message for me to wake up to 🥰

funny story, i haven't read that fic in yearsssss so rereading it again now finally to put it back up it felt so new to me, and i remember hating this fic!! but this time around i was like you know what? she's kinda cute. i kinda worked on this one. the joys of a fresh pair of my own eyes lmao.

ANYWAY! thanks so much for this! it always brightens my day when someone sends me a nice message like this, i appreciate it a lot! i hope you have a wonderful day or night for yourself too 💗

[harryfeatgaga]

you and harry have been close friends for yearsssss and in your early 20s you had a super casual fwb thing from time to time more like you were each other's booty call but obvs your friendship survived and you haven't slept together since until Harry and his current casual hook up are looking for a third and who better than you? You guys do it, you fuxking enjoy it and fantasy checked ✔️ but you and harry go " hmm 🤔 we really are this good together, we should totally give it a go 😌"

OHHHHHHFJNFJIJNJFINFFJI PLEASEEEE WHAT THE FUCKKKFDFJJD

[rahleeyah]

ok ok ok ok

first, I was so worked up last night after the eps I couldn’t sleep and I’m so excited for next week. eeek!

second, I want to second what you’ve said abt rollins bc I’ve felt the same way for yearsssss. but I thought I was maybe not getting/missing something about their relationship? let me explain…

so we know liv and amanda are friends and, at some point, are close (considering she is jesse’s godmother). however, i feel like for a long time they’ve only been giving work friend status. and once you no longer work together, that relationship falls apart. you no longer have things in common at work and never really had much in common in your personal lives to begin with.

this would explain why she didn’t tell her abt the baby, imo. they’re not close and haven’t been for a while. and that’s ok! seasons of life and all that…

but idk..am I missing something? admittedly, I’m not the biggest 2.0 fan so when those eps are on I usually don’t watch and haven’t seen most in YEARS.

I do think there's a work friends thing happening to some extent - if it were not for the job it's hard to imagine them liking each other enough to be friends (they are both, also, not the kind of people who have friends). But the work they do has made their bond profound; there isn't a lot outside work that would make them friends but bc of what they've been thru together they matter to each other, very much. Anything Amanda needs, Liv will be there, no question. It's harder to imagine Amanda showing up for Liv - outside of a work context - but I don't think that's bc Amanda doesn't care about her, I think it's bc Amanda is not the kind of person who shows up. Like you don't call her if you need help moving. She's not coming. Liv will rent the truck and bring water bottles for everybody. I'd like to say they trust each other but that's not quite true; Amanda trusts Liv, and Liv wants to trust Amanda, but she's been burned there too many times and there is always something just a little. I don't wanna say judgemental but Liv is keenly aware of Amanda's faults, and they both know it. So Amanda keeps things from Liv, bc she doesn't want a sermon, bc she doesn't want to disappoint Liv. Liv keeps things from Amanda, bc Amanda is not the kind of girl you share your deepest secrets with, unless you're drunk. There has always been an imbalance in their relationship; Liv is older, and was something of a mentor figure, and has always sort of mothered Amanda, and I think now that she's older and maybe a little wiser Amanda resents that. But in their relationship, Liv has to be the Responsible One (when she's not!! Really!! It's a role she has to play bc) Amanda's whole deal makes Liv look stable. And Amanda is the one with the husband and the babies and the safe, warm home life Liv dreams about, and Amanda can't talk to Liv about it; I'm fully going off script here but I like to think it's bc even tho Amanda loves carisi and her babies and is happy there's a part of her that chafes inside of her safe life, and she can't be honest with Liv about that, bc she has what Liv wants and she maybe thinks Liv will think she's ungrateful. Their relationship is complicated bc they're complicated; they're both a little fucked up, in some similar ways, in some different but complimentary ways, in some diametrically opposed ways, and it makes things that should be simple - telling your friend you're pregnant - incredibly complicated - now you have to explain why you haven't called her for months while she's been mourning you as if you died. There is so much to dig into with those two honestly

Opinions on watership down?

MAN THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK HOLY SHIT

This book/series keeps following me around just begging me to check it out, but it constantly slips my mind… I have a Watership down enamel pin (didn't know it was Watership down themed until after I bought it) and I saw the newer netflix adaptation, but I have been meaning to sit my ass down and watch that original animated movie for YEARSSSSS and I kept fucking forgetting

When I was a kid I used to hang around a group of homeless guys and one of them offered me a really old copy of the book as a gift, but I had it in my head that I have to be polite and refuse gifts from people that weren't close friends or family, and I regret that decision to this day 😭 Watership Down has literally been stuck in my head since I was a little kid and I somehow STILL haven't read it

[asoftenderlove]

Realized I haven't had a beef lasagna in yearsssss
