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 one 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.

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!
There Muriel and her boy Friends Éris from thé show good omens and I think make another character /Voilà l’ange Muriel et son petit amis démoniaque éric. Je pense faire d’autre bientôt
Hi, Good Omens fam, long time no see. I miss you! We're all still dealing with the finale and the fallout one way or another and this post is explicitly not supposed to be a place to argue about it in any way.
Understandably emotions are still running high, but no matter how you feel about it all, your feelings are valid! Hopefully there's still one motto we all agree on, so my Good Omens LEGO babies and I come bearing a little throwback to S1 as a gift for you.
These two want to bring you a little happiness in those hard times and hopefully make you smile with a little re-enactment of this famous moment.
They really did their best to get it as close to the original setting as possible, but please forgive any discrepancies. Almost 2000 years is a long time after all! 😉
Please enjoy, reblog, like, comment,... and most importantly:
You have explicit permission for non-commercial use of this Ineffable LEGO photo as long as you don't alter it and/or remove the credit!
Be kind to each other (and to yourself).
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🩵🩷🤍
On a more serious note, I am well aware that this scene is not actually Aziraphale and Crowley asking people to be kind, but the rather horrible acknowledgement that "Be kind to each other" apparently did get everyone upset enough to crucify Jesus.
And yet, this scene, this snippet, this quote has become one of the fundamental principles of a huge part of the Good Omens fandom. It has been a cornerstone to deal with a lot of bullshit inside and outside the fandom. It's one of the most used gifs as a gentle reminder that whatever bullshit we're dealing with, please be kind to each other. And I love that appropriation of this scene.
I've got to know so many wonderful people in this fandom who embody this principle to the point that I've stayed through the good and the bad times. I'm clinging to the hope that we'll survive the current rift, too! Again, with patience and kindness.
To Our World! 🥂

No comment. Except... you know what music to play now, right? 🦈
This crack take just demanded to be done for today's prompt. Yes, the proportions are not right (compared to the original poster) and you can clearly see where I edited out Crowley's fixtures quite sloppily, but I was running out of time to do a better job, so I didn't even bother with the ones holding the poor shark in place. Sorry, not sorry. 🤷
Also, I honestly like how this version provides a closer look at Crowley in a bikini, right? She's wanted to wear this outfit for a really long time (the Ineffable Wives photo shoots, to be precise), but it didn't happen back then, because I didn't have any swimwear for Aziraphale. Luckily this set-up made both of them happy. 😉
Disclaimer: No LEGO animals were harmed in the making of this poster. Some poor Sluban shark wasn't so lucky got the honor of being introduced to the dark side instead, though. If it's any consolation... he hasn't complained about it. Guess he enjoyed the view too much.
Bon appétit, everyone!

Some demons in Hell were caught unawares
by a visit from all the way downstairs.
A BAD assistant
was very persistent
to let Lord Slorch's teeth induce nightmares!
So, I hope this works as an entry for the first prompt of @texacilian89's Slorch Week? Please let me know if I did anything wrong or... whatever. Right now I'm just glad I got this finished on time. Wahoo!
Happy Shark/Slorch Week, everyone! Enjoy! 🦈🤡
P.S.: @octarinecatwoman, since you asked for Bad Muriel, please enjoy their blurred appearance in the background. Look, how skillfully the lack of a proper custom head for them was omitted! 😉
Not gonna tag anyone for this one, because it's basically just some silly fun with a minifig I already shared. Still, the following addendum applies:
