Hi! My favourite things (or as I like to call them: embodiments of my autism) are Good Omens and Doctor Who, I LOVE THEM SO SO MUCH I also love a lot of other things and will post about whatever I feel like at the time [But mostly Doctor Who at the moment] dolphins knew of the earth's impending doom long before people did -> 42 | an entity of sorts | MIRANDA | Sherlock & Doctor Who but Good Omens IS my autism incarnated.... you will hear of it my child.... We're all stories in the end, just make it a good one eh? - 11 Laugh Hard. Run Fast. Be Kind -12 opening up a can of worms as we speak this is an unnecessarily long bio

[bananafishgorillashoelace2]

im gonna be posting all the good omens extras I find here (like scripts and deleted scenes and all manner of other bits and bobs, but also anything else I want to post about) so they're more easily available to anyone for free so if you haven't already bought them you don't have to so the proceeds don't go to the artist in question.

obviously normally i'd encourage buying these so the artist is properly acknowledged for their work and gets the money for it (tho lots of the time art/literature should also be free for all to enjoy anyway) but in this case it's Neil Gaiman we're talking about.

Happy New Year everyone! May 2026 bring us all joy, happiness, and the Good Omens finale!

Lots of christmassy and winter themed fictions this month and the trend might very well continue into January as I've barely made a tiny dent in the wealth of fictions that have been created thanks to many winter events. Big shout out to Winter Omens Big bang for bringing together great writers and amazing artists! @gowinterbang

As always, these recs will be added to the nice and accurate lists of Di-42, witch, so consider following my side blog to have themed recs always handy! 

As always, I'll try to tag as many writers, artists and poets as I can. 

As always, if you want your work taken off this list, or know someone who does, please let me know. 

As always, don't judge a fiction by the number of kudos!

As always, if you can at all, please don't be shy and leave kudos and comments!

Now I hope you enjoy to hear the things I loved about

December’s Distinctive Fictions

WIPs:

Finding Mr Claus, by CaptClockwork, @clockworkcapt @puzzl3catRated E, chapters 4/?

Human AU where Aziraphale is Santa in a shopping centre grotto and Crowley finds a job as an elf. It's really lovely to witness the immediate attraction between them and the growing bond. There might or might not be a mystery to unravel as well.

Matters Of Perspective, by @naturallyteal Rated M, chapters 3/5. 

Teal’s wonderful gift to me for the GOFC Holiday Swap 2025. Aziraphale barges into a nightclub, determined to ‘rescue’ his demon from the clutches of the humans. Hilarity, sweetness, and hotness ensue. Several POVs, each of which has got its own take on the events, like the title suggests. I'm loving it!

Do You Believe In Love Afterlife? By Letha. Rated E, chapters 30/39.

Compelling and intriguing human/ghost AU which gets better and better with every new chapter. Aziraphale moves into his new shop with living quarters upstairs. It doesn’t take long to realise that the shop is haunted by the ghost of the previous owner. A gentle tale of two souls finding each other with great characterisation and humour. As the story develops more layers and details are added, which I won’t spoil here, but really this is a true treat that I highly recommend!

Mine and Hogs_and_ham The Solstice Dinner, rated E, chapters 2/8. 

Enemies to lovers human AU, full of banter and bickerflirting. Crowley is a grumpy cafe owner in Tadfield, Aziraphale is the sunny proprietor of the local inn. Needless to say, they hate each other. And are not in the least attracted to each other. As if! 

Come and marvel at all the amazing details of Hogs’s art!

My own Just A Neighbour I Know, rated T, chapters 2/3.

My contribution for the GOFC Holiday Swap. Neighbours to lovers human AU. Just a light-hearted affair, featuring awkward flirting, pining, and two very smitten and very oblivious men.

Complete fictions:

Christmas On Whickber Street, by @deichselschwein Rated T, 15k. P. Dec 25.

I loved this gentle human AU where Crowley and Aziraphale are neighbour shopkeepers, but haven’t as yet been introduced to each other. Each of them makes some assumptions about the other of course. Aziraphale assumes that Crowley shouts at his customers, and Crowley assumes that ‘& Co’ is preventing Aziraphale from enjoying the Christmas spirit. Luckily, he has a plan. With lovely art by hakuthemagicdragon.

Santa, Interrupted, by @thinkinginscripts. Rated T, 15k. P. Dec 25.

Lovely human AU with some very touching moments! A story about being brave and going for the things you want. Angst free, lighthearted, solid and funny (whatever the writer might say). And with wonderful art by Maon25.

Group Chat: Flat 3B, by whatkeepsusalive @lara102dt Rated T, 31k. P. Dec 25.

Flatmate human AU. This fiction is the sweetest, fluffiest, most adorably tooth rotting thing ever. Every chapter brought the sun to my day and left a big grin on my face. Crowley and Aziraphale are flatmates. If they cook together, text all day long, banter lovingly and cuddle on the sofa, certainly that's all part of being flatmates, isn't it?

What Fools Trees Mortal Be, by nineprecisely. Rated T, 18k. P. Jun 25.

This human AU is just so, so gorgeous! The humour, the banter, the wholesomeness, their vulnerabilities, their bravery! Awesome! And all the Shakespeare puns! Aziraphale has recently moved into town and goes to buy a Christmas tree. Guess who sells Christmas trees? This fic is incredibly funny and has very light-hearted parts, however it gets intense at some point, do read the tags!

One shots and short stories: 

Christmas Magic, by @tigerseye67 Rated G, 1.5k. P. Dec 25.

Lovely and delicate in universe fiction where Aziraphale impersonates Santa Claus in a shopping centre grotto. And Crowley, of course, helps. Heartwarming. 

The Weather Outside Is Frightful, by IneffableMoot @arlospace, @savyl Rated T, 5k. P. Dec 25.

Funny and sweet pre canon story in which Crowley and Aziraphale exchange gifts and challenge each other to a duel on Christmas day. The humour is great as always with this writer, and the art is lovely! 

The Day Before Christmas, by @theineffableauthor , @waitingtobebroken .Rated T, 6k. P. Dec 25.

Great humour and characterisation in this sweet and light-hearted human meet cute, just as we have come to expect of this lovely writer. The art is amazing and so expressive as well! Aziraphale is about to close the shop for Christmas when a last minute customer comes into the bookshop. The cheek of him! 

Good New, by caricari. Rated T, 3k. P. Feb 20.

Oh, the fluff and the sweetness in this fiction are incredible! Post season 1 story leading to their first kiss. Great characterisation, humour and cosiness.

Tis The Damn Season, by KiaraMGrey. Rated T, 6k. P. Dec 20.

Lovely human AU where our Ineffables meet on a train on Christmas eve. Instant connection and sweetness ensue.

All The Pretty Girls (I Have Waited), by @spectrallydistracted. Rated M, 8k. P. Dec 24.

I loved this human meet cute! Aziraphale works in a coffee shop where Crowley meets his dates. A different woman every week. If only he could work out why he's not taken by any of them! Very sweet story about falling in love and about self discovery. With the added bonus of the theme of found and chosen family in the background, to which I'm always partial.

Unplanned Niceness, by Savil. Rated T, 822 words. P. Dec 25.

Just a snippet of the lives of an angel and a demon on a random Christmas eve. Incredibly sweet and magnificently hilarious.

A Snow Job Cock-Up, by LemonTart @lemon-tart-221. Rated M, 1,2k. P. Jan 25.

I loved the silliness and the humour of this post canon, established relationship fluffy story!

Good Omens Flufftober 2025: Letters, by @angie-words. Rated G, 666 words. P. Oct 25.

What a tender and sweet ficlet! The writer captures the bond and the love between our Ineffables beautifully in this post canon fluffy story! While looking for his belt in his and Aziraphale's cottage, Crowley finds some letters. 

A Tropical Christmas, by AlwaysBeMyBaby @alwaysbemybae Rated G. 666 words. P. Dec 25.

Lovely post canon fluff. Our Ineffables are spending Christmas in Hawai’i. But it doesn't snow in Hawai’i, does it?

Comics: 

Harmless, by cerulen_wings @maon25 Rated G. P. Dec 25.

Lit teacher Aziraphale and biology teacher Crowley share the same classroom. This comic is the sweetest little thing!

Art:

Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time, by @hogs-and-ham. SFW. P. Dec 25.

Stunning piece depicting a cosy Christmas scene with our Ineffables. Have fun discovering all the little details in the background!

All I Want For Christmas Is You, by @ineffablechocolatecheesecake. SFW. P. Dec 25.

This is the cutest, most adorable thing you'll ever see, trust me!

ARTWORK-Spicy Ineffable Wives, by Louisepop. NSFW P. Dec 25.

Beautiful scene depicting our Ineffable Wives in an intimate moment.

You Shall Have Lace, by beardo @e-rated-beardo. NSFW. P. Dec 25.

Crowley. In lace. On a bed. Ngkffffffgangk.

Poems:

Elegy: The Final Fifteen, by AlwaysBeMyBaby. Rated T. P. Dec 24.

This poem revisits the final fifteen, but it will leave you with a hopeful sense that everything will be alright. And isn't it what we all need? 

It's deep, heartwarming, touching and beautifully crafted.

Read November’s list here.

Eternal life on Earth, as zombies? Yeah, no...

Not granted. This ending is the not the lady.

Aziraphale, it's okay. It's a dream. You're having a nightmare. This isn't real, as the last shots help emphasize. You're going to wake up soon, and use the lessons you learned in this dream of S2 & S3 to make a world where you and Crowley win.

You'll make it happen, make it real, with the parts of this dream that were great (Gabriel & the pre-Shax Ball) and then some, because the purpose of this very bad dream is that it is your subconscious giving you the path to make the world where all of this horribleness? It never happens.

It's three card monte with the Dickens novels, too, and the lady there when it comes to the ending/the structure is not Bleak House or Hard Times-- it's A Christmas Carol. Your dream of becoming Mr. Fezziwig, whom you were quoting to Nina in S2, first required you to experience a Scrooge-like dream-- only about a trillion times more scary.

Reality ended with 1.06's "The Very Last Day of the Rest of Their Lives"-- when we saw the very last day we'd ever see of the rest (the remainder) of yours, before the story switched to show us some, heh, rest... sleep... for the rest (the remainder) of the series. Rest is sleep; but rest is also euphemistic for death. Those two meanings of the word together form the plot of S2 & S3, minus the flashbacks (which I think we could say now were separated out into minisodes or occurred before the opening of the season to emphasize that they are real versus the non-reality of the dream.)

Your nightmare was of the last week of your life: your horribly tragic death, your terrifying bardo, and the Hell to which you damned yourself that feels more than a little inspired by the fate once granted by Furfur to a certain trio of Nazi foils: eternal life on Earth as zombies...

...but none of it was real. It told us a lot about what was on your mind in reality but none of it actually happened. We last left you right here, thank goodness...

Your nightmare gets terrifying but there's maybe nothing in it more frightening than that sweet astrophysics professor in the end is there now, Dr. Frankenstein? There's nothing more horrifying in this dream than that passionless version of Crowley and the others like him that would follow. The ones that you know, over and over, for all of infinite time, are not the person you love. That's why it's such a good thing that none of this-- even the parts we loved-- was actually real. Not yet, anyway.

Because the point is that you're going to wake up here and realize that you dreamt a truth that could happen but only if, as Dickens once had The Ghost of Christmas Present tell Scrooge, these shadows remain unaltered. Only if you do nothing. Only if you learn nothing from the dream... and I already know that you will not learn nothing because that same title of 1.06? The one for the episode showing us the last day we'd ever see you in reality, before the story showed us the dream that is your path to making happen the world you want?

That title also words out to saying that the remainder of your and Crowley's lives are a very last day: a very (true) last (enduring/eternal) day (also just means a period of time). It means that the reality we saw of S1 is your true eternity, which means you wake from this dream and you make that eternity happen. You and Crowley get your happy ending together-- you win.

The bad omen of this dream tells us how you, back in the reality we'll never see, make a world of good ones. It takes us into your mind and shows us you forming the plan that will get you there.

You're going to wake up soon from all of this and, after you sob at the sight and sounds of your Crowley-- oh, thank Somebody, his beautiful yellow eyes!-- sleepily saying "angel, shh, s'alright, it was a dream"? After you have a panic attack and a good cry in Crowley's arms for awhile? You're going to know what to do. You know where to start now.

You know that everything would just be better if you could just be that one, particular person of Crowley but that the key to making a world where that is possible? The one, singular thing you could do to start to make that happen, which the dream shows us your mind has worked out? Is to be nearer to one other, particular person: the archangel Gabriel.

It's the end and the beginning of the dream: cocoa delivery and Jim's hot chocolate. You can stop a personal Armageddon with a cheese sandwich but if you could just talk to Gabriel on his own, in the privacy of the bookshop? You can save the world. Because the answer, as your dream seems to have taught you, is that it's not about power. It's not about being Supreme Archangel. You aren't going to change a thing in Heaven that way.

Your dream, in which all of the archangels were seen by you as very human people? It was your mind telling you that the way you make a world where you and Crowley can be together is to treat the angels like the people they are. The dream showed you the path, and it begins with you letting Gabriel in. If you do that, you're also letting Beelzebub in, and then there's a group, a group of the four of you, and that's the start.

You need to make a world where, instead of being afraid, you and Crowley unlock the door to the fellow ducks. And letting in Gabriel? That opens more doors. Because if there's a four of you? Then you've made a space where you can start letting in others. You'll be building a place they can go. You need to make it a real embassy. Gabriel can help you with that. And there's one person, in particular, that you know if you all could let in? You'd be able to stop Armageddon: Michael.

But that's not even the reason to. It's because you've all overlooked Michael and your dream is reminding you that you know that she needs someone to talk to. You will group the books together by the first letter of their first sentences, like what Jim was doing in S2. That's how you win-- you get them all to talk about their frozen peas. And you will.

It's alright, Aziraphale. Just hang on, the dream is very nearly over. Can you hear that? The sleepy person calling you "angel" and gently trying to get you to wake up? They are definitely, definitely your nightingale, don't worry...

🎶Flashbacks, warm nights/*almost* left behind🎶, Aziraphale... a whooshing of you into consciousness as the final shot when whooshing is a sound of rushing through the air and then it fast cuts to the better song over the ending credits-- to the song we already know is you and Crowley...

To "You're My Best Friend", right on the 🎶oooh, you're makin' me live🎶lyric-- a song we haven't heard since S1, when Crowley was whooshing to you after dealing with Hastur and Ligur. When he had nearly died and was rushing to you in The Bentley, desperate to get back to you, just as you are right now desperate to escape this dream of death and eternity without a real him.

The song switched in S1 when Crowley found the bookshop on fire. It switched over to "Somebody to Love." The fire was a separate song-- one not present here in the end of S3. The song for you two rushing back to one another is the one that's much more the two of you-- "You're My Best Friend." That's the one playing. It's the one we heard in reality before, and your world of reality and your Crowley will be what, and who, you see when you wake up.

Cyndi Lauper is fun and all, Aziraphale, but your Bentley eventually turns every song you put it into Queen, now doesn't it? 😉 It's the reality of S1 forever. And there's no need to play the other song about finding somebody-- or an ending lol-- to love. We-- and you-- found the lady.

Every single lingering question I had about this story has been solved by this now, Aziraphale, so I'm rolling with it 😂 and very excited to unpack S2 & S3 from this POV and psychoanalyze the fuck out of you for dreaming your own insane bardo lol...

--

The funny part is that I actually had it three years ago and dismissed it. My notes on the 1.06 episode title read: "if very last day = true eternity & rest = death & sleep? rest of show a dream?" and then I said nah. Whole other season, probably at least two... It can't be a dream for two seasons, can it? They set up reality plot with Crowley's "all of us vs. all of them" in the end of S1, didn't they? There needs to be another way that these words work together... I couldn't see it there a la blue dot effect... just as I wrote about. 😂 I had the lady in my sight but I couldn't see her.

I enjoyed being able to see what the story does with discernment and the story being crafted so that none of us would be able to fully know entirely what we were looking at until it was complete. We'd find plenty of ladies along the way, as I and all of you did, but never all of them.

They did set up the reality of Armageddon coming back around in S1, but in a way where, now, the idea is that the dream shows you the book Aziraphale and Crowley will write together without the story writing it for them. It's like giving the characters the free will to self-determine the rest... with a little determinism thrown in by the dream giving us Clues as to how it all goes.

I would have hated the ending without that final shot showing that it's a dream but the final shot makes it all work.

Plus, they got me to ignore the words, which I really enjoyed. 😂 I understood the words correctly but I couldn't hear them. They 'no Nightingales'''d me and I speak wink-wink "French and German" so I found that fun. Because, when it comes to story, Harry the Fish was a bit right-- the cards do want to be a bit manipulated. I wanted to be a combination of validated and very surprised and I was happily both.

It's about discernment and it's a narrative magic trick so the idea would always be that the lady would be right there all along and we'd get some of it along the way but not all of it and then, when the dealer stops and the cards get turned over in the end? We'd have enough to see the big picture, and it'd all slide into place-- and this does.

It's designed so that we're all people standing in Times Square and we can't see America to make its point about how that's true of all of us. It's the human condition. Even the most discerning of us ducks are going to get a lot but never everything because we're people, and it's all just shuffle shuffle shuffle shuffle shuffle... and, honestly? It probably wouldn't be any fun any other way.

[rougeside10]

@vidavalor So....

All of this was just a nightmare??

[vidavalor]

Not The Great War flashback but the rest, yes.

What Is Real:

-Everything in S1, including all of the flashbacks.

-Good Omens: Lockdown. Why/how?

Because there's a loophole where "The Very Last Day of the Rest of Their Lives" in 1.06? The name of the episode where we see them for the last time in reality? It means that, technically, we could see/hear them again at night in reality lol, so long as it wasn't day, which would get around the end of reality in the story. Lockdown was set at night, ending with Crowley's "good night, angel."

Lockdown also set up the idea of a nightmare coming by having a ton of visuals foreshadowing elements of it so I think it was meant to be real. It's likely not the night that Aziraphale is having the dream, though, as the nightmare mentions the post-Covid lockdown world. I suppose he could have dreamt what he thought that would be like but there are also Clues in the last scene of S3 that suggest he's having the dream while in bed with Crowley, and that Crowley will be there when he wakes up. So, it likely takes place some time in the future after Lockdown.

-Before the Beginning, A Conversation with Owls (Job minisode), The Resurrectionists (1827), Nazi Zombie Flesheaters (1941, Part 2), The War in Heaven

What Is Not Real aka What is Aziraphale's Nightmare:

-All the story set in the present in S2 & S3, including the Asa & Anthony world, and the Ineffable Bureaucracy flashback. (But Gabriel and Beelzebub are a thing in reality, as we all could tell, and so could Aziraphale. Seeing them in the reality together inspired their plot in his dream.)

[jotun-philosopher]

That shot of wartime!Aziraphale -- is it just me, or does the sash thingy he's wearing look similar to the blanket he gives Jimbriel in S2E1?

[vidavalor]

omg it is! and jim was wearing it the same way. it's yet another bit of him wearing aziraphale's clothes/the blanket, like i was looking at in the sleep post. love it.

[iammyownproblematicfave]

My head is spinning...

[vidavalor]

Hi love 💕I hope in a good way. Thanks for reading. More thoughts, if you're interested:

Aziraphale's Nightmare Clue:

S2 & S3 are obsessed with sleep... and what little sleep there was in the reality of S1? Foreshadowed the dream of S2/S3. For an explanatio

There's also a post on how Nina proves it as well and more general thoughts about this theory and the rubber duck in the eternal flame. And, well...

...here is Gabriel talking with Aziraphale in the bookshop post-S3 (Aziraphale's knees in the bottom corner of the shot) in the promo photo released during S1 that never made a lick of sense until now.

[vidavalor]

@ao3cassandraic, if you have time, I'd love to know what you think of how I'm looking at it this way. I saw you tag me in a post and I will respond with thoughts (I noticed a possible Clue to 1650 thrown in there near the end!) but I think that most questions you said in that post that you still have can be explained by this and looking at The Book of Life metaphorically in the dream. Strip it back to the core of the story being about Armageddon as a metaphor for a personal crisis/mental health breakdown and this all works, plus explains the last shot in S3.

There are also whole shots-- opening of 2.03 & S3 among them-- that can now be seen as being designed purposefully to show us that S2 & S3 is Aziraphale's dream and I'm doing different posts on all various Clues, like this one about Nina, as I find them. Not only does it make it make sense, imho, but it actually explains the choices of the final shot and it makes the whole thing about a million times better. Everything I keep finding is lining up to this and it's actually a happy ending so that... also helps. 😂

As, I don't know about you but I was like first off, this can't be real, as all of that felt intentionally dream-like, but if you're trying to sell it to me as real and you're leaving this on Derek the Bookshop Owner what the actual holy fuck... but then I saw the last shot and went oh fucking hell it's a dream thank god lol. And now I'm rewatching it and it's just... omg this was so obviously a dream how did we not see this...

Poll results

The results are here, whether you voted or not, it’s too late now (it's always too late).

Let’s analyze these numbers (I’ll try to be as objective as possible). There’s almost 1600 votes for the poll about the film as a whole and more than 1000 for the ending of the film, so there’s a wide sample of people in both polls. As a whole, we can say that these numbers are not good news for amazon & co. 

Post by @nimbusalba · 1 poll

💬 24  🔁 158  ❤️ 132 · Tumblr · It's been a few days and I'm curious. The fandom is divided. My dash is obviously biased, so let's see the nu

A staggering 50% of the voters didn’t like or even hated the finale as a whole, with quite a lot more hate (28,1%) than dislike (21,9%) (we are a passionate fandom). 

Almost a quarter (23%) of the fans are not sure yet what to think about it.

And, obviously (this is maths after all), the other quarter (25,9%) has positive reviews. Almost 1 out of 5 people liked it (19,6%) while only a few really loved it as a whole (6,3%).

Now, if we see the results for the ending of the finale, the numbers change a bit (thanks to @fellshish for the addition of this poll, which is quite interesting). 

Almost the same number of people who loved the film as a whole also loved its ending (6.9%). However there’s a big dip in people liking the ending (11,7%), which brings us to 18,6% of people having positive feelings about the ending of the finale. That’s 7,4% less people having positive feelings towards the ending than the film as a whole, and most of that descent comes out of the ones liking it, rather than the ones loving the film (who are almost the same number in both polls). 

About the voters with negative feelings towards the ending, we can see there’s an overwhelming 57,5%, with most of them hating that ending (43,4%) (what’s not to hate? Sorry, objectivity!) and just 14,1% who disliked it. Again, we are passionate people in this fandom. 

Finally there’s almost the same number of people in both polls who haven’t reached a decision over the ending yet (23,9%).

It’s very interesting that more than 7% of voters are positive towards the film as a whole but hate the ending (there is much more hate than dislike in the ending poll). There’s many people too who dislike the film but hate the ending.

Finally, the addition of @thebright1 had a little over 400 votes. Most of the voters (53,2%) found sense in s2e6 final 15 before season 3 aired. About 2 out of 5 voters (43%) haven’t understand the meaning yet, and an astonishing 3,9% have found its meaning after watching go3 (I’m astonished because s3 didn’t deal with any of the issues the F15 brought up, imho)

In conclusion we can say that only a quarter of voters are happy with the finale, and that is even less for the ending, with just 7,4% of voters who liked or loved it. That said, we could argue that the film is disliked in general and its ending in particular is hated by most of the people who voted on this poll. 

All in all, we could say the fandom is divided, yes, but we are not so far away and the edges of the division are a bit blurry.

Thanks for voting, reblogging, and commenting on this poll.

Sorry for not posting this yesterday, but motherhood took its toll on time once again.

[fellshish]

this is very interesting! it should definitely be noted that these polls are likely to have circulated mostly within finale critical spaces (because of who created them / possible blocked blogs and tags etc)

so this isn’t really science….. nevertheless i find the difference between enjoyers of the finale vs enjoyers of the final 15 minutes of the finale quite telling 🫶

[quoththemaiden]

I totally agree with this both being likely a biased sample and also it being very interesting.

Something particularly interesting to me is that if it is biased on favor of people not liking it: That implies that at least a quarter of the fandom liked the finale. If it were just 5%, obviously you still shouldn't be rude to the 1-in-20 fans who enjoyed it, but 1-in-4 is a lot of people. It makes it clear that the responsibility lies with both the people who liked it and those who didn't like it to aim for objectivity when labeling things.

AO3 already has canonical tags for:

Canon Compliant - Good Omens (TV) Season 3

Not Canon Compliant - Episode: s02e06 Every Day - Final Fifteen Minutes (Good Omens)

Not Good Omens Season 3 Compliant

Not Good Omens Seasons 2 and 3 Compliant

Good Omens (TV) Season 3 Fix-It

New Universe Anthony Crowley/New Universe Asa Fell (Good Omens)

New Universe Anthony Crowley & New Universe Asa Fell are Crowley & Aziraphale (Good Omens)

New Universe Anthony Crowley & New Universe Asa Fell are not Crowley & Aziraphale (Good Omens)

Those can be super useful!

Along with that, it's worth taking a breath before hitting Post on your fanart or fanfic.

You can state that your art or fic is an alternate ending to the TV series without saying that canon is fucking stupid and everyone hates it — because that clearly isn't true. At least one in four people think it was pretty fun, actually. And those people may also think a different ending would also be fun and be happy to see yours!

Similarly, if you loved the finale and want to draw or write about Lord Slorch the Vile, I am so there with you... but I'd probably click away if the artist's/author's note is ranting that anyone who hates the finale is a fucking crybaby who just doesn't get it.

There's so much room in this fandom and so many parts of the sandbox that people can enjoy, including a lot of overlap for people who have different opinions about the finale. It's worth taking a moment to make sure you aren't being needlessly insulting to fellow fans who haven't done anything wrong and just want to play in the same space with the same toys you do.

A little addition to the Jehoshua’s card game alternate ending

[fuckyeahgoodomens]

Some of the subtle clues that Aziraphale and Crowley switched bodies

Bonus - not so subtle anymore, where ‘Crowley’ is sitting prim and proper and ‘Aziraphale’ kind of lying on the bench (plus their reverse sitting position)

Bonus 2:

Bonus 3: We usually see Aziraphale under the sign E (east), but ‘Aziraphale’ under the opposite W (west)

Those who think that wisdom and whimsy are mutually exclusive have neither. It's vitally important to do the right thing when the consequences are dire, and to do a whole bunch of utterly frivolous silly dumb shit when it doesn't matter what you do.

Happy Pride Month!

(Crowley’s shirt is based off of a design by Art by Veya, and the flags featured are the lesbian, gay male, genderfluid, bi, non-binary, intersex, trans, and demisexual flags. The fact that there are so many more flags that would work to include if there was more space says a lot about the characters, I think.)
