Day 8: Favourite Angel (not Aziraphale)

The Archangel Fucking Gabriel

Alright, hear me out. I really wanted to put Muriel here, because they're adorable, funny and wholesome. But, well... I'd be lying.

It's very easy to dislike most angels (except Aziraphale and Muriel, I guess), because they are all tremendous assholes and very absolutist-coded. Season 1 Gabriel is no exception to that, but he does stand out compared to others, if only because of his power. Gabriel does not deign to communicate with the "other side" through the "back channels" or resort to physically assaulting Aziraphale outside his bookshop. He is immaculate because he has others to do his dirty work, while he smiles condescendingly and casually gives orders. He isn't creepy like Sandalphon or petty like Michael or Uriel, he's very handsome and constantly exudes power that remains unchallenged. At the same time, he understands his responsibility and is more mature than the other angels. He isn't aggressive for the sake of it, he is just brutally efficient in all he does. So, all in all, he is a COLOSSAL asshole but sort of the type of asshole you'd like to have on your team. He inspires confidence.

And then comes our beloved Season 2 Gabriel, aka Jim, who is an absolute flower petal. Dumb, naive, innocent, confused Jim. Incredibly funny, poor lost soul Gabriel. Who, whilst continuing to pretend "it's for work" actually went behind Heaven's back to hang out with Beelzebub because he liked her. Gabriel, who started running in the "angels fraternizing with demons" race 6000 years after Aziraphale and somehow fucking beat him.

Goddammit, I love Season 2 Gabriel. Loves hot chocolate. Unconventional organizational systems. Rhinestones.

So yeah, from Asshole Supreme to Idiot Deluxe, Gabriel is my favourite Angel (that isn't Aziraphale) and even though it looks like he's fucked off somewhere nice with Beelzebub, I hope we get to see at least a little bit of him in Season 3, maybe in a flashback or something.

Look at the other thing I’m working on hehe

Ok so - there are gonna be a bit limited at least for now because I took the insane decision to hand customize every single chest they’ll come in so each chest is based on a different part of Philip’s life.

I need to also make a slit on the side of each wooden box for the handle and I’m having a few issues with that right now because every time I use the power drill I see the tip slowly sliding off as I use it and I don’t wanna impale my hand so I’m gonna go to the Home Depot store and see what solution they give me there looool

There’ll be about 25 done for now, and if those do well I’ll probably get some other ones later. I still need to put a lot of work on decorating the chests etc to a standard I’m happy with so those will probably take a bit over a month to arrive but I’ll do my best to get them done in a timely manner :D

Translation:

Michael: The moon is so beautiful tonight...

Donovan: Mhm.

"Michael loved to look at the moon. The sun burned his sensitive skin, and only at night could he calmly look at the sky. The moon seemed so far away and unattainable to him... Donovan also loved to look at the moon. Only his moon was very close and incredibly loved to walk at night, which is why the paladin was always yawning, and the bags under his eyes never went away. It didn't matter - the main thing was that the light of his moon did not go out."

The saga with my boys continues. I wish this illustration was canon, but alas. qwq
