The angel you knew is not me.

Currently mainly Good Omens until I catch up with Critical Role again. My name is Indy (they/them)

I wanted to start drawing, so the plan was to draw something for my ficlets. This one is for Look Up to the Skies and See.

✨ New 😘

He knows the effect of the turtleneck, he knows how powerful it is. Doesn't mean he has to wait for his angel to swoon because of it😎

Random quotes from Clocktower tonight:

"I would like to gossip that the Gossip dies through gossip tonight."

"The Goonchild is dead" (my claims kept flip-floping between Goon and Moonchild)

"I'm the Artist. My question was if the demon is sitting to my right." - "What answer did you get?" - "Maybe."

"I'm the Alsaahir and I would like to guess that N is the minion and I am the demon." (It was true but since the demon did not have the Alsahiir ability, it unfortunately didn't do much.)

"I claim Slayer and shoot my left neighbour." Nothing happens. "I would like to nominate my left neighbour." - "Didn't you just shoot him?" - "Yes, and since it didn't work, he must be the No Dashii."

"Is there a way where I'm the demon but I think I'm the Alchemist?" (After the Alchemist was "shot dead by the Slayer" a.k.a. killed through Yagababble)

"I nominate X. He's either the Goblin and we have a Heretic, or he's the Alchemist Goblin and we don't have a Heretic, or we're completely fucked." (True.)

"I was Snake Charmed last night." Town kills the previous Snake Charmer and wins. Me (Storyteller): "I mean you could have maybe gotten away with just bluffing something else." - "Oh, no, I had already hard-claimed Snake Charmer to 7 people." (We were playing with 8 players) - "Then why did you snake charm the demon??" - "I thought it would be helpful to know if he is the demon or not." (I mean, she wasn't wrong. It was very helpful for town lmao)

Me to my neighbour during Sects and Violets: "If you hardclaim, I will hardclaim." - "Uuuuuhhh alright fine, but this requires a lot of trust. I'm the Sweetheart." - "Don't worry, I got you!" Later, me: "I juggle her as Sage." - "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" - "Because you claimed Sweetheart to me!" - "YES, WHICH I DID BECAUSE I'M THE SAGE!" (sad trombone starts playing in my brain)

"I was pithagged into the good Fang Gu tonight." - "Uh... we only have one minion, and a Witch curse went off yesterday." - "The witch pithagged herself into the pithag and then pithagged me into the Fang Gu." - "...let's just get you killed, alright?"

Once again didn't make a post last week because I had drowned in preparations for a biggish Blood on the Clocktower event lol Should we have a Good Omens fic where they play Blood on the Clocktower? Because I keep thinking about how to make that happen while making clear what's happening to people who don't know the game.....

Aaaaanyway:

🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 Putting the “Bet” in “Betrothed” 📱

22k words 🐍 Comedy (& Romance) 🪽 written before s3

Aziraphale and Crowley make a bet on who can live “like a human” the longest. Apparently that includes dating - how convenient for the both of them! If only they had paid any attention to how humans live! But what can you do when, for the past 6000 years, you only had eyes for each other? Meanwhile, the actual humans around our lovebirds are torn between having to suffer through their shenanigans and enjoying the absurd romcom that is unfolding in front of them.

My personal story behind this fic

This was the first story I ever wrote for an exchange that wasn't just between my closest friends. We sent our preferences for writing and our wishes for the story we'd like to receive to the mods of the GOFWW-server and were paired up accordingly.

I got to write for Augenblickgotter who wanted some "Fish out of water" shenanigans from Aziraphale and Crowley among the humans. I couldn't have asked for a better prompt! Of course, to maximise them being big big weirdos without realising, I needed them to actually try to fit in with humanity — and thus, The Bet™ was born.

I missed the deadline by a week, I think, but everyone was very kind about it. It got a lot longer than I had planned for it to be! To quote my own ending notes on chapter 4: "Don't look at the chapter count - absolutely nothing has changed, it has always been like this! This fanfic isn't getting away from me at all! I am a very organised writer and everything is under control! (this was supposed to be a oneshot originally please send help)"

And my favourite part: This is my first fanfic that someone translated into another language. So if you want to read it in Mandarin, you do that: 【好兆头】婚约式赌约（原名：《如同鱼离开圣水》）by The_Rogue_Bard [翻译] Thank you so much, alexiel23856156!

I was storytelling Blood on the Clocktower's Trouble Brewing at an event with a frog-mascot today. We had more than 20 sign ups and ended up with 17 players and made them goodies (so they hopefully come back haha) to remember their roles by.

Forgot to take a picture of the Beggar, and I was too lazy to make tiny guns for the Gunslinger, so it is a general Traveller frog.

The Scarlet Woman is holding a knife behind her back, but it was impossible to photograph it without turning her back to the photo lol

Welcome to Throwback Thursday, which -- thanks to @curiouspupsicle, @rogue-bard, @sakascal, @quitequaintrelle and now @ineffabildaddy and @scribblerinthestars (and I've probably missed someone) -- is now apparently A Thing! (I have yet to catch up with all the er tempting fics that have been posted. Damnit, real life, really.)

I started doing Throwback Thursdays a couple of years ago, featuring favorite fics from the first year or two of the Good Omens fandom, or my own fics that hadn't gotten traction when I shyly poked my foot in the door. Post-s3, these delightful writers have joined in to reflect on their early fic and let us enjoy. I love it.

About a year after s1 aired, I got, shall we say, medically beaten-up. A lot of staples and things were involved, along with a stern admonition to make no whoopee for six solid weeks. It's not as if I hadn't written smut before that, but... umm, I went kind of crazy, and for the first time took a fly at gender-switching our Ineffables, in F/M and F/F combinations. First it was a three-part arc featuring Naughty Nanny Ashtoreth, and then -- well, Mistress Aziraphale deserved a turn. Last week I re-read the first of four fics featuring her in all her buxom glory, and realized it suited the moment we face after season 3 *makes apotropaic gesture*.

Faith, or, Serpent In My Bosom - rated E, ~3,300 words

They're free of Heaven and Hell, the Earth and their earthly corporations are theirs to enjoy, and it's time to experiment (with an occasional spice of tender blasphemy). And if Crowley still worries that Aziraphale might long to reconcile with Heaven, his angel is quick to reassure him.

(Redeeming Social Value. We need that right now. Don't we?)

“Alexander’s mother was supposed to have nursed her snakes. You wouldn’t know anything about that, would you?”   “Wasn’t even in the area. Not a snake thing anyway. Urban legend.”

“No one would know it to look at you, dear.”

“Entirely selfless, what I’m doin’ here. Mmhm. Spirit of charity. Atonement for my many sins.”

“Oh, certainly.”

Read On AO3

Tagging in the replies as usual; drop a note if you want on or off the list.

I write mainly Good Omens, along with occasional ventures into Sherlock Holmes (BBC and ACD), Doctor Who, and my first love, Star Trek. Find my fic here on AO3.

Gotta say: HUGE fan of the new season of Legend of Vox Machina despite how off-script it went.

Except the recontextualisation of "What's my mother's name"

Idk, they set it up so brilliantly with Vex bullying Scanlan the entire first two seasons, and then they recontextualise it, so that it's not about him feeling like a caricature anymore.

Why did they bully Scanlan so hard in the first two seasons then?

But other than that, this season was soooooo good!!!!

[rogue-bard]

It turns out going out is fun, actually, if you just do things you like to do instead of being forced to sit in a loud bar, be crowded to death and drink alcohol while you're bored and stressed out of your skull at the same time.

[rogue-bard]

This coming across my notes again is so sweet as I'm currently crocheting gifts for the friends I made there, while we just booked rooms for a weekend away together 😭

I love my new, silly, big now one-year-old friend group!!!

Don't think you're too old to make new friends!

[rogue-bard]

Laudna???? In Legend of Vox Machina???? Aaaaaah

[rogue-bard]

"Where's that scary girl? Is she...?"

"Don't worry. I think she's pretty hard to kill."

Ahahaha ha... ha..... Otohan would like a word 🫠

Laudna???? In Legend of Vox Machina???? Aaaaaah

Saying goodbye to the flowers feels so surreal cause it's like hi beautiful brand new characters I met you when I was in high school. I knew you by your stat buffs and the places you left the things you loved. I know how each one of you died. You've been here the whole time but I only just got to know you properly. I love you. I am so honored to witness your dream.

Eigene Anmerkungen für Reblogs in einer Kette

Die Reblog-Kette gehört zu den Dingen, die Tumblr so einzigartig machen. Alle Anmerkungen zu Reblogs werden dem Originaleintrag zugeordnet, egal welchen Zweig die User:innen tatsächlich geliked oder rebloggt haben. Wir wollen weiterhin Gespräche anregen und den Verfasser:innen die Anerkennung geben, die sie verdienen.

Bald kannst du jeden Teil einer Reblog-Kette liken, rebloggen oder darauf antworten, und diese Anmerkung geht an die:den Autor:in des jeweiligen Reblogs. Jeder Reblog hat seine eigenen Zählwerte, statt einer Gesamtzahl aus allen Versionen des Eintrags. Und ja, du kannst mehrere Einträge in einer Kette liken.

Wenn ein Reblog nichts beiträgt, fließt die Anerkennung bis zur letzten Person in der Kette, die etwas beigetragen hat. Dein Eintrag verliert keine Anmerkungen, nur weil er still und leise geteilt wird.

Bisherige Anmerkungen bleiben beim ursprünglichen Eintrag – wir ändern nur, was von nun an passiert. Alle rückwirkend neu zuzuordnen, wäre … eine Menge Arbeit.

Das ist erst der Anfang. Weitere Änderungen werden folgen, während wir das Ganze weiter ausbauen.

Update:

Wir sehen ganz klar, dass es viele starke Meinungen zu dieser Änderung gibt. Wir verstehen das. Die Leidenschaft, die ihr für die Funktionsweise von Tumblr habt, macht diesen Ort so besonders.

Während die Neuerung in den nächsten Tagen eingeführt wird und ihr sie ausprobiert, werden wir eure Antworten und Reblogs weiterhin lesen. Teilt also bitte weiterhin eure Fragen, Bedenken und Ideen mit uns.

Eure Kreativität stand schon immer im Mittelpunkt von Tumblr, egal ob ihr einen Eintrag ursprünglich gepostet habt oder etwas Geniales in den Reblogs hinzufügt – und nichts an dieser Änderung soll das einschränken.

Hey English speakers! Tumblr just announced the shit-update of the reblog-chain AGAIN

And they used the same announcement post word for word. One can only hope they acidentally copied the wrong post. If not - they're planning to destroy the reblog chain by giving the notes to any person who reblogged your art, essay or other original content with a simple "lol".

Welp, no more notes for you about what people think of your original post. They'll now all go to the most popular person in the reblog chain in order to make them even more popular. Insane update.

I hope this was a mistake @tumblr @staff @mitarbeiter
