i keep seeing tendrils of wider fandom discourse crossing my dash about who's a better fit for Lizzie or Darcy in Pride and Prejudice but HONESTLY

i'm currently very wrapped up in and entertained by the idea of a Northanger Abbey au - ie, Aziraphale as Catherine Morland and convinced he's living through a gothic novel surrounded by rakes and villains at every turn, meanwhile Tilney!Crowley is just hanging about like 'i would not be a real gothic hero if you PAID me but sure i can pretend if you're into that in the interests of taking the piss'

#good omens #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #aziraphale #crowley #i was listening to a lecture on Northanger Abbey earlier and this hasnt left my brain since #there was even a bit where the lecturer pointed out that like #the part in the conclusion that gets all sardonically dressed up as Tinley's ~banishment~ and their ~separation~#boils down to 'while they were figuring out the logistics of getting engaged Tilney fucked off back to his house and grew some plants'#meanwhile his dad is absolutely raging and kind of unwittingly trying to behave like a villainous gothic parent #but has no real power to do so and so Tilney and Catherine just go off and do their own thing #northanger abbey #theres a lot of options for who could be who in the supporting cast as well i think #like honestly without thinking about any relationship dynamics Shax would just make a good isabella #but really i do think isabella would have to be gabriel #so that beelzebub can be captain tilney and they can have THAT whole mess going on #i think Anathema would work well as Eleanor #the problem im running into really is that gabriel would be excellent as either thorpe sibling #a choice would have to be made
