Hi! I'm Nes, short for Inès, long for... Well, nothing.
Welcome to my safe place! Take a cup of your favourite drink and make yourself comfortable!
Here you will have mostly reblogs, and sometimes my incoherent thoughts, mainly about Good Omens. I love a lot of things, like Doctor who, David and Georgia, Anna and Michael, or Kaamelott, but the Ineffable Husbands take up most of my brain...
Thanks for coming, and I hope you'll enjoy it here! Don't hesitate to come in my asks or my dm's, they're open, and I'll enjoy the distraction.
Oh and English isn't my first language, I'm sorry for any mistakes I could make!
Okay, so that was the fun part. For the least fun part:
I don't feel like talking about Good Omens without mentioning him:
Maybe you're new to the fandom, or maybe you simply don't know it, but N*il G*iman has been accused by several women of sexual assault.
I won't judge your reaction, do as you think is the best for you! I just think it's important to be informed. There are articles out there if you want to know more. But please, be aware that they can be triggering, so make sure you're in a good place mentally to read them.
If you can and want to, consider having a look at this
As for my reaction: I will never, ever support him, or defend him, or anything. Yes, I still love Good Omens, and the fandom. Yes, I hate NG with all my heart at the same time.

Hi Good Omens fans! I'm a Media Studies researcher who writes about fandom and media. My colleague and I are conducting an academic study of the opinions and experiences of GO fandom members and we would love to hear the voices of fans on Tumblr.
It's an online survey that takes about 30 to 40 minutes to complete (depending on how much you write and engage in fandom) and is open to anyone 18 or older who identifies as a good Omens fan. All responses are completely anonymous.
I hope some of you will be willing to participate or share the post with fellow fans. Every response helps! We are hoping to get as wide a range of perspectives as possible The survey is here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GoodOmensStudy-T
We are excited to hear from you!
Note: This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at Salem State University .
They ask questions about your engagement with the fandom, the things you are looking for in fanart, your expectations for the finale, your reaction to the actual product and your experience of the controversy in the fandom following the release of Good Omens 3 as well as your perception of the different people officially associated with Good Omens.
You are allowed to skip any question you feel uncomfortable answering. They also use the anonymous mode on SurveyMonkey, meaning that your IP address won't be collected.
I'm reblogging this to reach more Good Omens fans and help the researchers get a bigger sample size for their study.
LEGO Lord Archduke Slorch the Vile (and his Heavenly, but certainly not angelic Husband)
Yeah, I'm still struggling with the fandom fallout after GO3 and haven't exactly felt like sharing all my new GO3 LEGO babies in the aftermath, but *gritting my teeth* these babies deserve some love and I hope that there are enough fans left here who will appreciate them *looking around warily*?
If you do, please give them some love. If you don't, just ignore this post and please don't hurt my babies' feelings with any spiteful comments. Seriously, they're trying so hard to bring some joy to this fandom, please don't tread on them. *glares glarefully at anyone even thinking about hurting my babies* Thank you very much!
That being said *putting down the teeny-tiny LEGO shovel*, please enjoy our Ineffable Spouses, sharing an intimate moment (yeah, we wish, I know)!
I bet that Crowley in this wonderful Aziraphale-gifted version of his dream wife Heaven outift must have helped their husband to get dressed up down for his important business trip to Hell, right? Also, still wondering if there was some tartan hidden somewhere... tartan pants maybe? 😉
For additional pictures and some ramblings about the creation of those two idiots, including credit for the "store-bought" parts...
Honestly, I love these ridiculous costumes to pieces! It's not stated explicitly, but still strongly implied that Aziraphale must have miracled up this exact color-inverted replica of Crowley's usual outfit, right down to all the little details, like the snake skin boots and the snake belt!
Seriously, Crowley's torso was relatively easy to design for me, because it is a copy of his usual outfit, so I dug up my old torso design file and edited the hell out of it (literally) before getting it printed on a Tan LEGO torso. The rounded bottom part of his jacket covering the hips was meticulously cut and folded out of painted paper. The colours actually match better than it looks in these pictures.
The boots were giving me the biggest challenge here! I could not just have them printed on some LEGO legs, because I wanted to use those longer custom legs by Leyilebrick, the only valid option for Crowley in those bloody tight jeans, imo. Ahem.
So, yeah, recreating snake skin boots in LEGO minifigure scale? Shoot me now! Well, the results are far from perfect, but I tried my best. It really would have helped to have hi-res screencaps, but I still haven't found any, so most of the creative process was squinting at blurry enlarged images, a huge dose of 'best guess' and a lot of swearing! Oh, also acrylic markers and masking tape, of course! 🤷
Crowley's hair used to be this custom hairpiece before I painted the hell out of it. Unfortunately it's not available anymore. I'd love to get my hands on more of those pieces for other versions of Crowley!
Credit for the head goes to Minifigs.me! I bought and "beheaded" their Prince of Darkness minifigure, because those round golden sunglasses looked like a great match! I might have taken a teeny-tiny bit of secret pleasure in this act of revenge on behalf of some mistreated bat(s). *looking around innocently* 🦇
Ah, Lord Archduke Slorch the Vile, my beloved! Seriously, this costume is so horrible I can't help but love it! How, and I mean how the fuck, could Aziraphale come off genuinely intimidating in this ridiculous Joker mock-up?! Thank you for your acting skills, Michael Sheen! 🤡
People who know me and my bloody annoying perfectionism had a good laugh at my struggle to not get anything about this one perfect. Let his face be smudged. Let his teeth be sharp, but don't try to fix them any further. Let those silver chains dangle crookedly. Let his half gloves look ragged. Use the most ugly colours for his hairpiece (taken from this minifig) and don't worry about a smooth finish. Let his coat and shoulder pads look torn. Let him look horrible and own it! A Master of the Secret Torments, indeed! *still apologizing to my inner Monk who died a million times in the process of making this minifigure*
Anyway, I'm really grateful I had at least one BTS picture to work with here. Slorch's clompy (why isn't that an official word?) boots are hilarious! Initially I used some off-brand legs with printed boots and added some 1x1 plates for the high soles, but it didn't look that great. In addition those legs were too loose for the LEGO hips with the silver belt, making the whole figure fall over again and again, so I ultimately ditched those and just stole a pair of Crowley's long legs (the husbands really don't mind sharing). Since all the printed details from the other legs were almost completely hidden by the coat anyway, this solution works for me.
"Credit" for the head and torso: I took this Joker head and this LEGO torso and ruined modified the shit out of them! No idea if the way I painted the face is suggestion enough of the big mismatched nose, but whatever. Fun fact: if you'd pull off Lord Slorch's coat, you might still find the HARES OF HAVOC print on the backside, which I found too funny to remove! 🐇
All the dangly bits around the hips, the coat itself with its shoulder pads, and the chains dangling form the collar are made of masking tape and painted with acrylic markers. The spiked collar around the neck used to be on of these boring LEGO neck collars before I repurposed it lovingly! 🔪
Hopefully I didn't forget anything important. Feel free to ask if I did.

Please enjoy, reblog, like, comment,... but please don't reblog this post to any communities. Thank you!
Tagging the usual crowd with the customary addendum to please let me know if you want to be added to or removed from the list! 😘
Post-GO3 Addendum:
If you want to be removed specifically from any future Good Omens 3 LEGO posts, please also let me know! Hopefully I will find the time to share more of my LEGO babies soon, but some of them will be from S3!
They are perfect! Adorable little creatures (in the most demonic way, obviously). The details on lord Slorch are insane 🤯. You ARE crazy, dear! And a master of these Lego minifigures 🤩
I'll fight anybody who tries to hurt your babies, they are amazing!!! 😘
