#temptation--accomplished

[ineffableaddiction]

I’m amused by this.

Aziraphale looks at Crowley, then to the ox rib in his hands, back at Crowley and then devours the ox rib.

Like, damn, I really want the demon, but I’ll settle for this other meat he (didn’t really) tempt(ed) me with.

Poor snake, hardly tested by this little tempter 😇😆

You have to blame my patrons and their requests if they put these scenarios in my head 🤭

Ps. She put on fake wings like a Victoria’sectret model 🤣

He might resist Crowley, argue and try to walk away. But the sheer mention of lunch brings him right back. Temptation accomplished, as usual.

David Tennant wearing pink nail polish right after pissing off the prime minister? Iconic. Also he's making me want to paint my nails for the first time in like six years. Idk how he has this much power but give him more

SNAKES - or: the story of how aziraphale was tempted

hello everyone!! <3 this is my most recent edit i did (and my 4th one ever) - it was by far the longest i've ever worked on an edit, as i sort of wanted this to really fit the lyrics and create a sort of "mini story"!

i haven't been on tumblr in ages, but some lovely friends from my discord told me that sharing this on here could bring some people joy, so i hope you enjoy!! <3

The Nameless Successor lasted less than a couple of months. A year may be too generous. By the time we view his memories, he is either dead, or is already succumbing to frenzy. The vestige itself does not hold much information on this Successor's origins; in fact, compared to the others' vestiges, its events progress over a briefer time period. What it does show, however, is a particular quality some may not notice.

His vestige demonstrates not only cowardice, but also a weakness within his mind. When Jack arrives to put him out of his misery, the Nameless Successor folds. He may have awakened as soon as Jack entered the Crypt, and scrambled about until he collapsed to the ground. Perhaps he attempted to intimidate the infamous Hunter. Whatever the case may be, it did not impress the senior Successor, if Jack's reaction is anything to go by.

Bearing the Queen's relics entails a great deal of strength. Many of the Successors we encounter have staved off frenzy for years by sheer force of will. It seems the Nameless Successor could not resist the relic's seductive allure. All those irresistible promises of power were simply too much to ignore.

Every relic sings a wicked temptation into their bearers' minds. Not even the Carrier of the Blood is immune to this magnetic force, if the Bad Ending is anything to go by. The strongest will tends to succumb at some point or another. The higher the Successor's compatibility, the easier it is to endure. However, a great deal of resistance comes from the bearer's own iron will.

You don't fight the Nameless Successor; Jack already has. What you do fight is that Successor's recently-turned Attendant-- the Insatiable Despot. Had we actually fought this particular Successor, the fight would have been quite different. Quicker, even. Would it really have been much of a fight at all?

It takes an exceptional individual to last as a Successor. Not every revenant is capable of bearing that burden... The Nameless Successor is a fine example of this.

We can all agree that it was Crowley who introduced Aziraphale to fiction, right?

Crowley would be like "Know that guy Homer? He gave me this story he wote, wanna take a look?".

And Aziraphale would be like "Fiction?!? I'm an Angel, I only study the true word of God.", but of course would take a peek in the end and immediately get lost in the words, Crowley contendly sitting by his side for hours watching him read.

And this is how he ended up buying the book shop later on.

The Seventh Prince of Hell

Genesis 3:(-7)-5.5

-7   And they assembled all the Lords, the Princes of Hell into a congregation together sometime after the seventh day, but not on a day of rest because even the Dark Council has a day off.

-6     When it came to pass that all grew weary of the powerful pointing presentations, Lord Beelzebub spake with a loud voice, saying unto them, One of uzz brotherzz muzzt go to Earth as Hell’s Represzentative and thwart the doings of Heaven; there izz no choice now that the Almighty has created humanzz. Who amongzt uzz shall take up the project? It comezz with a great deal of extra paperwork, much travel, and no overtime pay. And we shall not reimbursze anything and there shall be no per diem.

-5     From among the Princes of Hell, one stood and said unto the First Prince of Hell, I would like to know exactly why we’re being called to do this. As members of the Dark Council, shouldn’t we just send an ordinary demon instead? Or even a Duke at the very most? After all, there is plenty work in Hell for us without needing to send someone so high-ranked to do something so menial.

-4     It izz to our benefit to take this very seriouszly, Lord Aziraphale, saith Lord Beelzebub unto him. We who loszt the war; we shall not lose Earth az well. Now I will volunteer three Lords of Hell. Step forward when I say your name.

-3     And of the seven Princes of Hell, three stepped forward, and only three; not two nor five, which are the other prime numbers near three and definitely not one, which is not a prime at all but the unit. The first was the Second Prince, who is called Asmodeus and is a demon of lust. The second was the Seventh Prince, who is called Aziraphale and is a demon of collecting stuff. And the third was the Fourth Prince, who is not worth talking about because they only appear in this one scene and for no other reason than to have three characters. I think that Prince is the demon of executive dysfunction or erectile dysfunction or something like that. Maybe both.

-2    And the three Princes, all Lords of Hell and members of the Dark Council, vied for the honors of being Representative on Earth with great reluctance until one of them won. Or lost, depending on how you look at it.

-1    And having won the dubious honors of being Representative on Earth, the Prince of Hell was told by Beelzebub to get up there and make some trouble, whatever that meant.

0     Later that very day on Earth the waters that flowed through Eden burbled, and flames erupted underwater though that would be impossible as flames could not erupt from underwater, except possibly in the case of a volcano or a deep sea trench, but that was not the case in Eden which had neither. However, from this supernatural burbling came a dark creature that slithered onto land, inching itself up out of the waters, over the field, and up an apple tree.

1     Now the octopus was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made, primarily because it was a beast of the sea and not the field. And not properly a beast, but more like a fish, especially since it came out of the waters. Except it wasn’t a fish. And he said unto the woman, So I hear that you were told by God that you could eat anything in the Garden of Eden. Did God say unto you, that you shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2     And the woman said unto the octopus, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the Garden.

3     But of the fruit of the tree that you’re clinging to, octopus, peering out at me from a shaded hollow in the trunk, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4     Was that really God who said that or just one of God’s servants? Because if you heard it from an Archangel named, I don’t know, Gabriel or Michael or Sandalphon or Uriel, you probably shouldn’t listen to them, because they’re all a pack of lying bastards, every last one of them. However, you can trust me. I’m an octopus.

5     And the octopus said unto the woman, You shall not surely die. Besides, God said everything, right? The set of everything is defined as all things in the set. Here we have that the set is all the fruiting trees of Eden. If God didn’t want you to eat from this tree, God would have said, Ye may eat of the fruit of some of the trees of the Garden, but clearly God said every tree. That’s just how formal logic works, you know.

5.5   In fact, not only are these fruits good in a pie, they will also give you knowledge. You will know from good and evil after just one bite. I can’t imagine that God would find that troublesome, could She? After all, you’ll be more like Her, closer to Her, once you can tell the difference between good and evil. Besides, among other things, tasting of the fruit will give you the knowledge of baking a pie...

I'm writing the oyster dinner scene in Rome (which I believe is their first ever shared dinner?? it gave me the Vibes?) and it's bringing me great JOY, azi might have tempted Crowley to an oyster but they've both tempted me into soul-lifting insanity

[ashke-e]

-He looks just like an angel

Aziraphale in the ancient roman era must have been a sight.
