Trans Omens Event mini-bang Fic!

My Own Secret Garden Rated T Words: 5,968

Crowley has always known they would get a tattoo of the garden they've been drawing since childhood. They didn't expect the tattoo artist to be so kind, funny, sympathetic... or so incredibly gorgeous...

there is an inherent transness to the angels and demons of good omens when they are in human form and blend in among humans. I think it's beautiful and it's also complicated and very much subjective.

but I can argue that aziraphale can be read as transmasculine/a trans man. he is quite happy with his presentation throughout history and he is, essentially, making an effort to present himself as a man. even if he doesn't grasp the human concept of gender and doesn't connect to it, that's the "form" that makes him happy, that's how he wishes to be perceived. (that's also exactly how I feel, so maybe it's a little bit of projection. but still)

for crowley it's a little different, he is very genderfluid and can be read as transfeminine and transmasculine all of that at once, and that's beautiful. he changes his presentation gender-wise and the same thing about understanding the human concept of gender can apply to him. he still makes an effort to be perceived a certain way, whatever that way is at any given time.

what's interesting is that, in the book, it's mentioned that crowley goes back to his favorite shape (which is man-shaped, at the time), and I like to think that angels and demons have the same relationship to their bodies that trans people do. maybe it changes throughout time, maybe it stays consistent. maybe sometimes they have to change it only for their safety or other things, against their desire.

BLOW UP THEIR PHONES!!!

Is it just me or does this line hit different when you remember that David Tennant actually has a non-binary kid who uses they/them pronouns, and has worn this non-binary rainbow pin to a bunch of interviews in support of them—?

---

[Update] David Tennant continues his trend of being a trans ally respectful & supportive of non-binary people & gender neutral pronouns in the Doctor Who Special: The Star Beast (2023)

Oh- hold on. here ! *Shoves a Trans Crowley in your face* Happy pride 🏳️‍⚧️

Can @neil-gaiman make a young author like me feel better about typos on my already published back cover…

👉🏻👈🏻😖💛

The book itself only has 8 mistakes apparently in 326 pages…

P.S. thanks for writing Good Omens because without it I’d have never met my Fiancé! The Crowley to my Aziraphale…Congrats on season 3!!

Edit because only two people have bought my book

HAPPY DAY OF TRANS VISIBILITY I SEE YOU ALL AND KISS YOU ON THE FOREHEAD

[fru1typunch]

I was told to share my TikTok on respecting each other's Good Omens headcanons here on Tumblr so HERE;

now can we all just shut up and hold hands or something (since aziracrow can't anymore)

[p4nishers]

can we talk about how much queer and trans joy was this season? maggie and nina. they/them muriel, saraquel, beelzebub, even GOD. "you're a good lad" "im not actually, either". that one shopkeeper and his non binary spouse, played by a non binary actor. beelzebub and gabriel. shax, nina and maggie all thinking azi and crowley were together. also yes i'm gonna mention: crowley and aziraphale's kiss. it's just, i get that everyone's hurt and so am i but can we please focus on how beautiful this season was to us? we got so much and i'm so happy, despite the ending.

David Tennant, former Doctor, sauntering demon, protector of trans kids, and all round good guy, attacked proud bigot and "Equalities" minister Kemi Badenoch for being a proud bigot and now Rishi Sunak is going after Tennant saying he is the problem.

The Tories are so fucking toast on election day.

Happy trans day of visibility!

All the love and support goes out to my trans and NB friends out there!
