Aziraphale - Blog Posts
Watching Good Omens season 2 was like reading the most perfect, slow-burn 100k-word fanfiction in a nice, relaxing bubble bath surrounded by scented candles. But when you get to the end, you realise it's an abandoned, unfinished fic that was last updated five years ago, and you are left alone with this earth-shattering cliffhanger, and on top of that, someone throws a toaster in.
Happy 1 year GO anniversary to me! :D
1 year ago I posted my very first GO drawing ever. It was a test sketch page where I tried to figure out how I wanna draw those chartacters and I think a lot of progress happened since then.
(Anyway, here is a redraw of the exact same sketch page I did back then~)
People who draw Crowley and Aziraphale in slutty fem clothes while still staying true to what their bodies look like in canon, I thank you for your service
Full on internal screaming when they bump into each other accidentally during Regency England.
Much external bickering. And telling people to go fall off their horses.
Everyone else absolutely gets the (right) wrong idea.
Nobody tell him.
It all came out over dumplings, as it should.
Style consistency went straight out the window, but I like it. My sister taught me that anything that makes you laugh is worth spending time on.
Ineffable mess with pencils.
โชLet them kiss ๐๐๐ป
Big fan of angels being autistic btw. "How does an entity like that have a neurological condition" Well they can act like that. Angels having traits that read as autistic. Incomprehensible being trying for their best mimicry of human behavior. You understand
The real reason Crowley gets in a twist about the capital letter Clue is because Aziraphale once spent an entire decade in Sherlock Holmes cosplay and Crowley would rather kiss Ligur's head-chameleon with tongue than go through that again.
Bonus: Crowley thinks he's starting to understand the appeal of detective work.
Idk guys. Aziraphale really took control on this one.
Aziraphale being worried about Crowley
I can't believe so many Good Omens fans and content creator are being guilt tripped into dropping the book and show as a whole in fear of being seen as a Neil Gaiman apologist, it is completely fine to separate art from the artist people have been doing it for YEARS ( see harry potter, miraculous ladybug etc. ) If it's a purely personal choice then I understand but if people are doing it out of fear of being judged then that's a problem. Also is everybody just gonna leave out the fact Terry Pratchett also wrote the book? It wasn't just Neil. We can still support the amazing person and writer that was Terry, the performances of Michael Sheen and David Tennant plus everybody else that was involved in the making of the show. Stop giving Neil ALL the credit.
Sleepy book guys!! :D
We've known each other a ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ time. We've been on this planet for a ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ time. I mean, you and me. I could always ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ on you. You could always ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ on me. We're a ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐, a group. Group of the ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ of us. And we've spent our ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ existence pretending that we aren't. I mean, the last ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ years, not really. And I would like to be ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐โฆ [looks away] I mean, if Gabriel and Beelzebub can do it, go off ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐, then we can. Just the two of us. We don't need Heaven, we don't need Hell, they're ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐. We need to get ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ from them, just be ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐. You and me, what do you say?
What do I do with the information that Crowley is named Rampa in French
Read this quote in a book today and honestly it gives such Crowley energy
Dear Diary, today Crowley and I had crรชpesโฆ

Still can't stop thinking about season 2 so here's some tiny versions of them ๐ฅบ
thinking about Good Omens 2. and stories, and the shape of them, and Terry Pratchett and his themes. and something clicked.
Aziraphale is cackling.
it's not just the ball. he spends the entire season trying to force the story into a shape it's not, and everyone suffers for it.
i've seen some less than charitable takes on Crowley's actions and they all ignore how much Crowley did try to talk to Aziraphale, did try to ask Aziraphale questions, did try to help, only to be ignored or brushed off. because his questions, his offers, they didnโt fit with the story Aziraphale was telling himself.
quiet, gentle, and romantic. it was, if you're our favorite Angel - right up until the end, at least. because he decided that's the story he was in. from the very beginning, he's off in la-la land, living out this romcom with a cute little mystery wrapped up in it, completely ignoring what's actually going on around him. i'll set Nina and Maggie up! (completely ignoring that Nina tells him she has a partner, and at that point, he has no reason to think she's anything less than happy.) i'll take ~our~ car to go do investigate this silly little mystery (he's not taking it even a little bit seriously!) while you stay here and run the bookshop and it will be so quaint and domestic! soon we'll dance and confess our feelings that we obviously share because we're already so clearly a couple we just need to finally say it!
Crowley knows the entire time that they're in a horror story but Aziraphale ignores every attempt he makes to point that out because it doesn't fit the story he decided he's in the middle of.
he brushes off Crowley's concerns and questions - his QUESTIONS! - like they're nothing. he doesn't want to see it, so he doesn't. and Crowley should have told him more?
why would he?
when you are CLEARLY in distress and it's being BLATANTLY AND WILLFULLY IGNORED, what the fuck are you supposed to do? "Crowley didn't comminicate" well okay if I were having a panic attack about something and my husband completely ignored it, chattering on about our dinner plans or whatever, that wouldnโt exactly make me want to open up about what was wrong! that would send the very fucking clear signal that he didn't want to know!
words aren't the only way we communicate and Crowley's body language, the entire season, is that of someone who is living in a horror story, knows he's living in a horror story, and is fucking terrified. if Aziraphale were paying any attention to Crowley instead of focusing all his energy trying to set things up just so for the big climax of his love story, he would know something major was wrong.
why would Crowley have told him how cruel Gabriel was about the execution when Aziraphale's already so thoroughly convinced that heaven is pure and good and has shown over and over through the millennia that he's not really open to considering that it can be cruel!
just look at them at the dance. Crowley freaking out because there's a horde of demons out there and Aziraphale giggling as they go to dance. that's the whole season!
you know who Crowley reminds me of this season?
he's watching helplessly and with increasing levels of distress as Aziraphale shoves every plot point into the romcom hole even though it's obviously not remotely romcom shaped! and i'm sick of people saying he was abusive because he raises his voice about it a few times!
โI did the โI was wrongโ dance in 1650, in 1793, 1941โฆโ
