#what have I started?

[crowleysgirl56]

Ok, hear me out: Good Omens Human AU: WWE professional wrestling.

Has anyone done this yet? Ok, here is my stream of consciousness:

I imagine Crowley to be the high flying, heartbreaking, stunt type character. Like a Jeff or Matt Hardy, or a Shaun Michaels. He’d be the young newcomer breaking out into the business, gaining massive popularity, adored by the fans and potentially the new face of the business.

Aziraphale would be a more established, professional, and experienced performer. He’d been old school, like a pure striker, but also maybe slightly flamboyant like a Ric Flair or Dusty Rhodes. He’d be initially skeptical of Crowley’s character and disapprove of the suggested changes to the business. He doesn’t want to move with the times and stuck in his golden era ways.

Plot points:

Enemy to lovers - Aziraphale would be annoyed with the idea of Crowley being “the new guy” not playing by the rules, but over time comes to appreciate what he can bring to the business and also admire his immense talent. Crowley would be annoyed with an “old” fuddy duddy unwilling to move with the times or diversify for the sake of the business, but comes to appreciate Aziraphale’s experience and encouragement and what he can learn from him.

Road to Wrestlemania - obviously they’d have to face off in the main event as their characters would continue to be sworn enemies.

Secret relationship - this would develop and deepen over time, and they would be terrified of it being revealed and breaking kayfabe. How could they possibly overcome the media and scrutiny. Possible themes of homophobia could be explored.

Alliances - Crowley would probably be part of some sort of team dynamic involving Beelzebub and maybe Shax and Dagon. Some kind of demonic themed characters.

Overcoming injury - Crowley might suffer a possible career ending injury, either sustained through interference from another jealous wrestler (Gabriel or Hastur?), or protecting Aziraphale from a dangerous move, or from Aziraphale failing to perform a choreographed stunt correctly. Each possibility would lead the subtext of the story in three different directions so not sure which would be best?

Bittersweet ending? - I imagine that either they would get to maintain their relationship but one or both their careers would end. Or they would keep their careers in tact but the relationship would end.

Thank you for reading my ramblings. Am I insane? (Probably)

(Was inspired because Wrestlemania was on the weekend and I apparently cannot separate Good Omens from any other aspect of my life now 🤣)

If she has no fans call the ambulance cause I am dead

Here’s my take on the whole audio books vs. reading:

Oral tradition of storytelling predates written ones by millennias, and honestly, which one you like is just a personal preference.

The actual difference is

when listening, you have no idea how to write characters’ names

when reading, you have no idea how to pronounce characters’ names

hope this helps!

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

Right, from your last blog, tell me how It's Raining Tacos is AziraCrow coded 😏

Firstly, I’m going to have to say thank you for completing destroying my algorithms, considering I had to Google this song to know what the hell it was (the internet is weird and scary place sometimes). 😝

Secondly here’s my best guess:

Aziraphale sat at his desk calmly calculating his stocktake from the last month, whilst Crowley lounged in his usual place on the settee, mindlessly scrolling through his phone.

Then for the fourteenth time that day Crowley started humming an incessant tune that Aziraphale could finally no longer ignore. Slamming down his fountain pen Aziraphale turned to Crowley, “Really dearest, I must insist if you can’t find yourself another ear worm, could you at least go for a walk!”

Crowley growled as he stood up, “Fine! I’ll go see if the ducks want my company!” Grabbing his sunglasses with an overdramatic flourish, he strode across the bookshop floor and slammed the door on his way out. Although he wouldn’t admit it, Crowley was also frustrated with the unrelenting tune and made a point to hurl his phone into the lake when he stalked through St James Park.

Peace at last, Aziraphale returned to his accounts, when a sudden thought struck him, “I’ve never eaten a taco”. If he hurried perhaps he could catch up with Crowley and convince him to join him at that new Mexican bistro up the road.
