Question.

If Person McPerson called a church and the vicar answered. How would the vicar introduce themselves?

[letmetemptyou19]

so my partner and i are both huge good omens fans, but she hasn’t read the book yet and i have. and i think one of my favorite things is constantly having to reiterate to her that aziraphale is actually So Much More Of A Bastard in the book than in the TV show.

she’ll be like “aziraphale would never suggest harming another living being” and i have to be like oh honey. he suggested killing a little boy to get out of work. and then actually tried to do it and only failed because madame tracy said “um wtf??? no???” while he was possessing her.

and then she’ll be like “ok but what about when he revives the dove after the magic show at warlock’s party” they changed that for the show. crowley originally revived it after aziraphale accidentally killed it.

and then she’ll be like “aw i love how aziraphale loves books so much he owns a bookshop” babe people literally think he’s with the mafia because he will resort to anything but physical violence to avoid selling his books. he rents in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in London and never sells anything. the mafia can’t even fuck with aziraphale because he makes them inexplicably disappear whenever they come around and we are never actually told where they go or what he does to them.

“oh but he loves humanity so much it’s so sweet how he would do anything to save humanity” book aziraphale doesn’t want to save humanity, book aziraphale wants to keep going on little dates with his boyfriend and reading books that he won’t sell and drinking tea and listening to his records in his little bookshop because Heaven is boring as fuck. He actively works to avert the apocalypse because he would have to actually do his job otherwise. Crowley quite literally only manages to convince him to help him stop the apocalypse because he reminds Aziraphale how fucking bored he’d be without creature comforts. Crowley’s trump card was literally “help me or you’ll have to watch The Sound of Music.” and Aziraphale FUCKING AGREES TO IT. To get out of watching The Sound of Music.

Book!Aziraphale is a bastard, and I love him.

(I also love TV!Aziraphale, don’t get me wrong, but he’s been debastardized by like 70% and I LOVE BASTARD AZIRAPHALE)

OK! Updates on the merlotl project! 1. I finished my big editing/clean up sweep so I will start replacing/updating chapters at some point probably in the next week. So if you want to preserve the fic with its current status of typos etc uh, I guess download it now lol. 2. Here is a google form with just a single y/n "are you still interested" to help us guide decision-making with the project

https://forms.gle/KS44tEXvpQBLR8xr7

ALSO! Fun fact! Merlotl tags have been canonized on AO3!

Better than discorporation, I guess.

And what if I never needed their souls to be 'intertwined by fate'? What if all that I needed is for them to love each other because they have known and understood and shaped each other for so long? And what if I never cared about them ‘finding each other in every universe?’ What if all that I wanted is for them, in this universe where the odds were so stacked against them, to choose each other?

I love what is in my memory. Places exist in both time and space, so I can never go back home because it has changed so much it no longer exists as the place I loved.

[spin-the-wheel-polls]

At the end of the day, you can’t delay joy until life looks a certain way. You deserve to enjoy your life now.

"I learned a lot from making this" is artist talk for "making this sucked ass and I'm not entirely happy with the result."

Throwback to when I made this as a bday gift

[grayintogreen]

A message to fledgling writers from someone with a lot of experience: you will never be immune to the feeling like your plot is crap and flimsy especially if you watch a lot of book critiques. The important thing (besides like having a beta or a friend to check it for you) is that the average person out there writing flimsy plots does not think this and the fact that you do stop and think “fuck does this make sense?” Is proof you care about your story. And it’s likely not as bad as you think… So you’re probably fine.

A mix between Thank You For My Pornography and my personal Holy Bible.

Don’t get too excited, it’s still me: yours, truly, di-42. I thought I would make a side blog entirely dedicated to Good Omens fanfiction, because I’m addicted to spreading the joy and love these fics bring. If you’ve seen me around, you might know that I make monthly lists with the fictions I read and my (positive only) thoughts about them. You can find all the lists if you scroll down this post. The criteria I use for a fic to be in those lists are: I finish it. That’s it. Or I finish the first one or two chapters for WIPs. If I finish reading a fiction I will say what I like about it, or what the fic is about, in my lists. Those lists are not about recommending the best of the best, they are about telling each other stories, reading each other’s stories, telling other fellow fans about those stories, and generally building community.

I quite often find myself going through my own posts to find some fictions to recommend when someone asks for something specific, so I thought I could make  this side blog and re-organize those fictions by theme. Easier to find more quickly. This is all still a work in progress: I will update when I have the time, and more fictions and themes to add. Some themes will only have one fic, and quite a few fics will be in several lists. I will, in time, link the lists to this pinned post. Feel free to reblog any post and add your own recs (self recs absolutely welcome). Please note, these are just re-shuffles of the fics mentioned in my monthly lists; if you want some more detailed themed recs, you might want to visit curiouspupsicle and curiouspupsiclelibray. If you’re looking for a fic in particular, I’m sure you know you’ll need to ask aziraphales-library. For daily recs, please follow handyowlet. For weekly recs, please follow addledmongoose. For more recs, please follow sabine-smitten-obviously. To have fun with some of the most amazing lines our fantastic writers come up with, please follow good-omens-fanfic-be-like. If you want to check out my monthly lists as they come, that’s my main blog.

If you want your fic to be taken off these lists, please let me know.

Please, now and always, don’t judge a fiction by the number of kudos!
