Hey new faces!

Our silliness over here regarding Aziraphale’s reading halo has taken off a bit, and I’ve noticed a few folks dropping in to say hello. Welcome to the beginning of what’s going to be a long and ridiculous Good Omens cosplay adventure. Everything will be collected over on Ineffable Wives on Instagram  - so if you’re looking to follow the journey in one place without all the extra nonsense of our lives that’s your best bet. For all the extra nonsense of our actual lives, you can go here:

Aziraphale can manifest a halo, which he mostly uses as a reading light

He would

The halo isn’t really a ring halo either, just like Crowley doesn’t have horns. Instead, his entire head lights up like a glowstick.

Either that or no matter what angle you look at it it’s always behind his head like this:

Like Mickey Mouse’s ears.

I blew the dust off my tumblr and dug out this post (which I originally saw on Instagram) just so I could say thank you for inspiring this ridiculousness. Crowley likes to sleep, Aziraphale likes to read. A bed is comfy for both of these things, so sharing works. Usually. After all, Aziraphale was just enough of a bastard to be worth liking. <3

because honestly you guys were exactly right (more nonsense over at Ineffable Wives on Insta)

<3 One of my favourite cosplay things I’ve ever done and I’m literally wearing my PJs.

There’s been some question as to what I’m reading. It’s Mort. ;)

This is my crafting room at the end of last year following a week-long overhaul (after regular work hours and with a trip to IKEA on the weekend). - 12 bags of rubbish were thrown out (I feel awful about this, landfill is a huge issue but I need to take it as a reminder not to buy stuff I don’t absolutely need) - Built in wardrobe was completely overhauled. All shelves were filled with organised fabric, all hanging costumes organised together and all cosplay shoes arranged underneath. Props and worba is stored on the left hand side of the wardrobe. - Ikea bookcase for all my books - Ikea Kallax box storage for completed costumes that get folded. All labelled too! - Rainbow drawers for crafting/sewing materials. Each drawer is labelled. - Cat for stealing the chair. I am in the process of moving some things around and reorganising so I may do a video of my space later on when that’s done!

Sewing/crafting rooms get messy so quickly and mine looked like a tornado had gone through it last year. I cleaned it out as you can see in these photos using the UFYH 20/10 method, but it still needed a complete overhaul. Photos of that next!

Listen up, fellow self-pitying nerd boys—we are not the victims here. We are not the underdogs. We are not the ones who have our ownership over our bodies and our emotions stepped on constantly by other people’s entitlement. We’re not the ones where one out of six of us will have someone violently attempt to take control of our bodies in our lifetimes. We are not Lewis from Revenge of the Nerds, we are not Steve Urkel from Family Matters, we are not Preston Myers from Can’t Hardly Wait, we are not Seth Rogen in every movie Seth Rogen has ever been in, we are not fucking Mario racing to the castle to beat Bowser because we know there’s a princess in there waiting for us. We are not the lovable nerdy protagonist who’s lovable because he’s the protagonist. We’re not guaranteed to get laid by the hot chick of our dreams as long as we work hard enough at it. There isn’t a team of writers or a studio audience pulling for us to triumph by “getting the girl” in the end. And when our clever ruses and schemes to “get girls” fail, it’s not because the girls are too stupid or too bitchy or too shallow to play by those unwritten rules we’ve absorbed. It’s because other people’s bodies and other people’s love are not something that can be taken nor even something that can be earned—they can be given freely, by choice, or not.

Wow! You make an amazing Lightning and an amazing Lady Nathan (Natalie?) Drake!

[charalanahzard]

I’ve been thinking ‘Nadine’?

[zanekrios]

Pretty amazing cosplay :D

[dandraco]

I thought this was Lara Croft……

[charalanahzard]

I am confused by how many people are saying this. This costume is *almost* exactly Uncharted 3 Nathan Drake, I’m pretty sure just hair + lady just make people automatically think it’s Lara?

[ardellacosplay]

You look entirely awesome! I did fem Indiana Jones and got nothing but "OMG you look like Lara Croft!" I know the pain.
