Oh, hi, this blog was almost completely inactive. Then I remembered I had it.

I saw the video. THE video. And, ugh. I had to babies. Mommy had to.

So, I’ve been gone forever, because I am trash. But it’s valentine’s day, and everybody needs some softness every now and then, no?

So, without further ado, an ineffable wedding wip. I never got to finish it and my skills at digital art evolved faster than I cared to perfect this specific piece, so I just had to let it go, faults and all.

To the experienced digital artists: I only picked inkscape up a few months ago, don’t throw rocks at me, good talented people :)

Dep Reads: The Left Hand of Darkness

Hey everyone! I’ve been away for a long, long time, and I am sorry for this. This is more of a fangirl diary where I vent and less of an actual, decent blog, and I am in between recording sessions with my new band, so things kind of went downhill in my little corner of the internet.

But! There is a lot of ineffable husbands fan art and fanfic coming, plus I conquered my ADHD and got back to reading actual books. And since I know most of you ineffables are either queer or interested in works featuring queer rep, here is a recommendation, based on what I am currently reading:

----------------------

The Left Hand of Darkness, by Ursula Le Guin

I am ashamed to admit I’d never gotten my hands on this absolute gem of a novel despite my twenty-five  years. It had been so hyped up to me by friends and acquaiantances that I was super afraid it would not manage to live up to my expectations.

Boy (or girl, or genderless Gethenian) was I WRONG.

So, without further ado, let me tell you, friends, as calmly and astutely as possible. READ THIS THING NOW. No, seriously. Drop whatever it is you’re doing. Read it. It is simply that awesome. It features genderless humanoid aliens, epic adventures in a seemingly endless expanse of hostile, frozen land, lots of politics, and a love story to scream about.

++SPOILERS AHEAD++

So, long story short, this is the story of Genly, an Earthling, sent to the perennially frozen planet Gethen in order to convince the Gethenians to join a sort of confederationTerra is part of. There, our protagonist meets the genderless locals and confronts his own preconceived ideas of feminine and masculine. This is largely due to the deuteragonist, prime-minister-in-exile Estraven, who saves Genly and becomes his most trusted individual in this foreign land.

Duuude. Duuuuuuude. Genly Ai and Estraven. Genly and Estraven. I mean, I get it, Genly, my man. I fell for Estraven about fifty pages in the narrative, and I did not even picture them as being attractive. Estraven alone is a masterclass in how to write  a compelling character: mysterious,  kind, and brave, neither man nor woman and infinitely frustrating to manly man (and initially bigoted) Genly.

While Estraven is woefully easy to fall in love with, Genly himself is too easy to roll your eyes at. Gethen irks him. Why are these people neither male nor female? None of them can be his friend, he tells us, because a friend on this planet can become a lover during mating season, and his masculinity cannot abide by that. Estraven’s feminine side strikes him as untrustworthy (although, seeing as Estraven is a politican, Genly expects him to be, “less than a man.”)

The interracial aspects of their interaction further complicate things. The differences in their respective cultures run so deep that misunderstandings abound. Genly realizes far too late that his dislike for Estraven was misguided and we slowly bear witness to his magnificent character arc as he learns to accept the truth: That Estraven is his friend, that he is both male and female while being neither, that Genly himself appears as strange to Estraven as Estraven does to Genly.

They are not soulmates. You don’t get the feeling of two people who belong together, and they are both aware of that. Their love (and you feel tears well up in your eyes as you witness once misogynist Genly actually acknowledge it as love) blossoms under duress, in isolation, precisely because all they have is one another. They never have sex, although both admit to physical attraction in their respective journals, because, as Genly puts it, their sexual encounters would be encounters bewteen strangers, borne from their similarities whereas their existing love has taught them to bridge their differences. (In retrospect, he wonders if they made the wrong decision; in retrospect, I think they did.)

And, dear oh dear. You actually see the tragedy snowballing towards you since the very beginning, but oh, what a delicious pain. Estraven leaves a hole in your chest like it does in Genly’s, who is left alone and forlorn, anxious to fill the gap and unable to. And you actually get it, because Estraven was an individual of fascinating extremes, brave and self-sacrificial but methodical to a fault, capable of loving completely and inspiring that kind of love in others.

I swear, I’ve never felt so emotional about a novel before. Passionate, yes, in love with the characters’ love, yes, but this? This cracked me right open. During their travels Genly breaks protocol and actually teaches Estraven how to do telepathy, something forbidden. From that point onwards, there is a mysterious parallel drawn between Genly and Estraven’s sibling Arek, culminating in Estraven’s single dying word, that very same name.

The explanation doesn’t come until the very last page, and it is so hearbreaking it had me tugging at my own hair. I hate this book. I love this book. I want to hurl the little papery bastard across my room and then pick it in my arms like a goddamn baby. This story broke me. Estraven broke me. They made me fall in love and then sacrificed themselves, leaving me like Genly, forlorn and with a human-shaped hole in my heart.

Damn this book to hell. Bless this book to Heaven.

Aziraphale spread his fingers over Crowley’s coverts, skimming gentle fingertips down them until he reached one of the white points. “They’re warm,” he breathed, glancing up again.

“They’re stars,“ Crowley whispered, not entirely sure he was ready to be heard. "Well, not- not quite in this dimension, but, you know.”

Aziraphale’s eyes widened and for just a second Crowley thought he had made a mistake, but all Aziraphale did was look back down, eyes tracking over the dotted patterns in his wings. Crowley could tell that he was looking with more than just mortal eyes now, and he held himself perfectly still as Aziraphale’s true form brushed against his in exploration, burning and bright.

“Constellations,“ Aziraphale said, returning back to the compression of mortality. "Crowley, why…?”

Crowley forced a smile that couldn’t hide the pain of that answer. “I… Before, I was a starshaper. When things… when I saw what was coming, I couldn’t stand to think of losing all of them.”

“You hid them in your wings, when you were cast down,” Aziraphale said, so brokenly that Crowley knew he understood, even though he had never shaped stars himself.

I was talking with Ked about what to draw next- and she suggested Crowley with the stars in his wings. It was too beautiful not to draw.

It’s been a big 52 weeks on Tumblr. 

Maybe it was all part of a great big ineffable plan, but Good Omens was the most popular thing on Tumblr in 2019. Bigger than BTS by exactly 4.43%, but who’s counting? As for BTS…well, they deserved a break, but it did cost them the crown. Meanwhile, Marvel had a huge year. We could try to count how many Marvel-related tags are in Year in Review, but it’d definitely be at least 3,000. Steven Universe came to an end as a series, but came back as a beautiful feature-length film; the future’s looking bright. And how many SKAM remakes will make the TV list this year? There are two on this one—we see you, Germany and France. Game of Thrones also reached its conclusion (did we actually sit through all of those seasons for THAT?). Moving on to the Galar Region, Pokémon gave us the biggest gift of the summer: Wooloo. Thank you, Nintendo. Critical Role returns to this list after a long adventure with the Mighty Nein across Wildemount. And finally, we round things off with the Ship of the Year, our Ineffable Husbands, Aziraphale and Crowley. This is Tumblr’s Week Year in Review.

I am the happiest bitch in the world, because I am chill with fandom like that.

Ineffable Husbands, ladies and gents. No one ever doubted.

(Shoutout to my babies Jaime and Brienne for coming 24th despite the entirety of the season).

[annamarcellipalmer]

Saints? Lips? Really?

“I still cannot believe you talked me into this.”

“Oh, no need to be so dramatic about it, dear. It was just a play. And I am not entirely convinced you hated every second of it.”

“No, no, you’re right about that. I couldn’t bring myself to care enough, so hate might be a strong word. Boredom, perhaps? I swear, Aziraphale, they were gloomy before, his gloomy plays, but this was the absolute gloomiest of the lot.”

“I believe that title still belongs to Hamlet, which, may I remind you, you most kindly agreed to”-

“Shut it. I’m a demon.”

“I’ve noticed. I am an angel.”

“My point, you incorrigible idiot, is that you are by no means allowed to call me kind. I am not. I only miracled your stupid play successful because you are insufferable whenever you sulk”-

“I barely insinuated anything. Anyway, I am sorry. I only meant to point out that Hamlet’s ending was rather dismal, whereas this one, oh, I don’t know. I mean, yes, they both died, but the families? The illogical, generations-deep enmity between them? The bard left us with some hope that, perhaps, those misguided people wouldn’t succumb to blind hatred in the future.”

“Bollocks to that.”

“Language, dear.”

“No, seriously, what an utter pile of steaming”-

“-well, I’ve had enough of this uncouth-“

“Will you let me finish? Bollocks to that. Fuck the families. Fuck. Them. Oh, look at your face, is your hereditary enemy being too crass for those holy ears? Well. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Fuck this play, fuck the bard, and fuck those arseholes. What should we call them? Veronese? Veronians? Ugh, whatever. If they didn’t have sticks shoved up their”-

“Crowley!”

“No one had to die, angel! That’s my point! ‘Twas love, for Satan’s sake! If Romeo had grabbed a sword and sm- disc- murdered a Capulet they would been so bloody proud, the twats! Instead, what did they do? They essentially punished a child for loving another! Excuse me for wanting them to rot in Heav- Hel- well, somewhere.”

“Tsk. God grants second chances in her Mercy, Crowley, and so should we. Well, not you, obviously. I, for one, found the idea of both families learning a lesson quite comforting. There’s justice in their ordeal.”

“Seriously? Would you say that if you were them? Dead?”

He just hang with the wrong people. Sketching to pass the time, things getting, as per usual, angsty.

[annamarcellipalmer]

Some concept art for my angsty fanfic, the one I am writing at glacial paces and everybody must think is fictional by this point.

My headcanon is that *if* Zira falls, Crowley, who wishes he had someone by his side when he went through the pain, will take *such good* care of him. Not only because he is a giver by nature but because our soft boy Zira would be destroyed otherwise.

I used sloppy lines and abstract coloring because I wanted to depict a vague sense of loss, of whatever might be transpiring within Zira’s head as he sports this forlorn expression. Because the scene is both sad and incredibly intimate I wished to draw it in a cartoony (ish) style that would take some of the edge off.

Ineffable (the website)

I was searching for the poster from Good Omens’ Hell (to print and hang around in my office…) and I stumbled into this little gem of a website. It looks like no one has mentioned it yet here on Tumblr, so if you, like me, have missed it, I suggest you go visit right now.

http://www.silvascreen.com/ineffable/

It’s a simple click and browse website but it’s very fun to visit! And it’s clearly been made with lots of love for the book and the tv series.

It was made by the same company that published the soundtrack to Good Omens, Silva Screen ( @silvascreenrecords​ ) and if you click around you can find some bonus material from the show and the CD.

I was able to download the digital booklet from the soundtrack, with introduction by Neil Gaiman. I also visited Heaven, Hell, Eden and Aziraphale’s bookshop. 

And at the end I was rewarded with a lot of cool wallpapers!

Keep reading

[fuckyeahgoodomens]

Ohhh, nice! Thhank you. Didn’t know about it! :)

The posters in detail are actually a little tweaked, for example the guilotine :D: (has ‘crepes and brioche’ inscription :D)

aaaw this one  ❤

Also in Hell (you click on Crowley’s apple / then on falling feather / then on Agnes’ book / then to go down on the escalators) are all these hell posters for download :)

@neil-gaiman​ Hiya Neil, did you know about this? :)

“Something simple” they said and made something I wouldn’t make at gunpoint. OP, I lowkey hate you. ;)

So, the bet was: can I draw ANYTHING using ONLY my left hand?

Gave myself ten minutes and a ballpoint pen. This was the result. I thought it’d be amusing to share.

(Zira, baby, I am so sorry.)

[annamarcellipalmer]

I love your go art, especially that one coffee portrait of Beezlebub and the white and black painting of ineffable husbands, thank you so much for sharing 🌠💫✨(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧

AAaaaaa thank you so much for your kindness and for checking out my stuff! You made my day and possibly my week! I know I am not super active on the fandom, but may I express my thanks through a super quick anathema coffee portrait..? ;)
