“We need to be a lighthouse!”

[theriverspath]

whoa!!!

Me reading along, thinking about how GO is definitely an example of soft world building, and how this moment does double duty of portraying Gabriel as the type of bully that picks at your insecurities with a charming smile and also reinforcing the previously established "yes, I like the clothes" side of him that genuinely enjoys spending time on Earth, when I smack right into this in the tags:

Y'all. Exactly how far back does Ineffable Bureaucracy go? Gabriel wasn't really a thing in the book. His character was developed for the show.

In S1 at Tadfield, he and Beelzebub appear together on the tarmac in a synchronized move that echoes Crowley and Aziraphale's exit to their respective head offices on the escalators.

Was Gabriel on Earth in the "loose the gut" scene to meet his Hellish counterpart for a secret strategy meeting? Was he jogging off some nerves beforehand? Why am I suddenly standing in front of a corkboard full of photos? What's with all this red string?

I just had a few thoughts, specifically about the scene in Season 1 where Aziraphale and Gabriel talk in the park while Gabriel is out for a jog.

First of all, the "lose the gut" comment. The war is only a few hours off and Gabriel wants Aziraphale to get in shape for it. Which has to be possible, otherwise he wouldn't ask for it. So angels (and by extension, demons) can just... choose to lose fat? That would mean they can also choose to have it? So Aziraphale just... chooses to look like a cinnamon roll. Which is just so wholesome.

But then, why is Gabriel out jogging? More importantly, why is he out jogging on Earth? I can't imagine it's just because Aziraphale asked for a talk and Gabriel decided that this was the best way to meet. He had no qualms simply appearing in a restaurant, or coming to the bookshop, before. Is he running to... well, run? For fun? To stay in shape? Why? If he can choose to be fit, why would he need to work out? Surely, the Supreme Archangel and Commander or the Heavenly Host has better things to do on the dawn of the Apocalypse and the last War than to just... go for a leisurely jog on Earth.

So, maybe, and this is a big maybe, their physical bodies' fitness is separate from that of their true forms? Maybe their human-like bodies need to be maintained the human way? Maybe he told Aziraphale not to lose his physical "gut", but his metaphysical one? Maybe he wants to make sure his own physical body is in good enough shape for what's to come?

I don't know where I'm going with this, there's not really a point to this. I just had a thought and wanted to share.

Like fire and ice.

Is it… a Clue? 👀

Michael McKean posted this photo of him as Sgt. Shadwell last night on Bluesky with no context whatsoever…

Could he be coming back to Good Omens for Season three?

(I hope so, and Madame Tracy too, genuinely love them both so so so much!!!)

And in more concrete news, the amazing Doon Mackichan has confirmed that she will be filming Good Omens in Edinburgh this January when sharing her well-deserved BAFTA win for Best Actress last night:

Could I be any more excited???

"The Cottage" 4 page comic about an Angel doing future plans and a Demon who slowly connecting the dots.

My aziracrow comic I did for Ace Omens Zine vol. 2!

It was one of my first time doing a comic but I'm so happy I had the opportunity to draw this little idea I had in mind!

I'm lowkey manifesting this to happen in season 3 (I'm just manifesting season 3 happening actually)

James Bond Crossover kinda but make the Bond girl BEARDED

[theriverspath]

Oh, I wish I had known about this sooner! It's the end of the day, so I didn't have the chance to plan anything. But I did eat half a veggie pizza for dinner, then spent the evening snuggled up on the couch with a cat and a GO fanfic.* So, maybe the spirit of the holiday found me anyway?

*A Season of Whale Song by @drconstellation

This year is the 5th Annual #Azirafeast, The Feast Day of the Angel Aziraphale, an inclusive fandom event! It’s celebrated on November 19th! It’s a made up holiday that brings the community together, regardless of how a person participates in fandom.

On Nov.19, everyone is welcome to celebrate The Feast Day of Aziraphale by drinking cocoa and wine, eating good food, reading, being stylish on their own terms, enjoying the company of friends and embracing the spirit of Aziraphale! Please share your pics on socials with #Azirafeast!

On Nov. 19, Creators are encouraged to show Aziraphale indulging in what makes him happy or why you love him (canon or fanon!) Create “Lore” for why Aziraphale has a feast day! What miracles throughout history has he performed? Creations can be dramatic, serious, sexy or silly!

All forms of creation are welcome: Draw, write, sing, act, sew, bake, cosplay or anything else! However YOU want to appreciate our favorite Angel. All variations, versions and representations of Aziraphale are welcome for #Azirafeast

And remember, you don’t have to “make” anything to participate in #Azirafeast on Nov. 19. Eating cake and lying to your boss is a great way to celebrate! Confuse some customers, watch a nature documentary, get drunk, listen to your favorite music, be kind to someone who is new or lost!

Anything tagged #Azirafeast I will reblog, the same on Bluesky, Instagram and Twitter. I’ve had a permanent highlight on my Instagram for the last four years, and maintained this tumblr. Checkout what others have made for previous years!

There is also an AO3 collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Azirafeast

Anything added to it I will promote on my socials for #Azirafeast.

I know I don’t have the biggest following, but the idea is that on the feast of Aziraphale, even fans who don’t have a large social media presence will still be seen, still have their experiences noticed, and will feel part of a community that cares.

Folks can get stressed about creating by a “due date.” I encourage folk to post early if they want, and to keep posting after Nov. 19th if they miss the day or don’t finish in time.

Just make sure to tag your contributions, whether they are pics or creations, with #azirafeast so we can celebrate with you! Please feel welcome to take my words and reshare any way that you would like, and make your own posts to generate awareness! Please do share in any fandom communities your part of, or feel free to try and convince people IRL that this is a totally real holiday.

I do not run, own, control or anything of the sort in regards to #azirafeast. The idea came from Cliopadra and a private discord server, and the brilliant folk there randomly picked a date and ran with it. The reason I made this blog and encourage people to participate is because I think it’s a lovely idea! It is NOT “mine.”

Now what if they do this at the same time in season 3?

[theriverspath]

Soft....

And after he's finished with the plants, Crowley carried Aziraphale back to bed for a proper nap.

Anyway, coloring these takes even longer than drawing the artline, there are many moments where I just feel like deleting some of the plants just to finish faster. 🤣

@goodomensafterdark

I want a cozy solarium for myself!!! 😫

[theriverspath]

It is done!

Snekkie has been uploaded to Ravelry, free to download. Feel free to tell me if there are any mistakes or if anything is unclear, and I'll fix it ASAP.

Have fun with it! Nice and beginner friendly, You only need to know how to knit and how to purl. Oh, and cast on and bind off, ideally. Just... make sure you know how to count.

Make sure.

You hear me? I mean it. Make sure you know how to count.

Look what Michael wrote at Comic Con today 😂

He is truly one of us 🤣

[theriverspath]

hc that aziraphale used to submit vague personal ads in the newspaper to plan rendezvous w crowley. the system worked pretty well, except for that time crowley accidently met up w someone who Was Most Assuredly Not Aziraphale

[theriverspath]

Don't look so disappointed. Perhaps one day we could, I don't know, go for a picnic...

If 88 minutes of that hour and a half of the last season isn't them enjoying a picnic in a warm afternoon, I swear-

let them be happy for once please 😭

[theriverspath]

It looks great! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the rest of it!

Aaaand we're done! Now I'm working on the scarf body and thinking about the other side.

So happy with how it turned out!

Once I've uploaded it to ravelry, I'll post the link here as well.

And tagging @theriverspath :)
