Memory

"I have always felt it is my destiny to build a machine that would allow man to fly."

Leonardo da Vinci ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please enjoy this fill for a really old IPAT prompt: Memory. Sorry, no limerick this time, because I spent so many hours on putting together this little diorama for a HAPPY MEMORY from our Ineffables' shared history.

Please feel free to take this picture as a prompt to write your own fanfiction or create some fanart! 😘

For more ramblings and credits...

The above Da Vinci diorama was heavily inspired by this beautiful canon piece of art that was brought back to my attention a couple of weeks ago:

(Credit goes to Paul Kidby. You can read more about it here).

To me the fact that Leonardo Da Vinci created this lovely double portrait of Aziraphale and Crowley in the canon GO universe is a strong indicator that they all knew each other well (you get to decide how well). So in my headcanon they might have spent some time together having fun, "sciencing out" in Leonardo's workshop. The idea is not too far-fetched, right?

While Crowley surely must have gotten a blast out of humans trying to invent clever machines that let them fly and testing them himself of course, Aziraphale would surely have appreciated all the marvelous scientific papers!

My LEGO Ineffables' hairstyles are strongly inspired by Paul Kidby's (fake) historical drawing, but I decided to go with less formal outfits here, since I really wanted to show a fun and informal meeting of friends rather than anyone dressing up to have their portrait painted!

Honestly, I can't believe how crammed this set ended up! There are so many little gimmicks hidden (some in plain sight, but out of focus, and some pretty much invisible) that I just gave up catching it all in one picture.

No, I don't expect anyone to admire the stained glass window or the bloody whimsical staircase, but please take a closer look at the piece of art Leonardo is currently working on; you might have seen it elsewhere on the show! Well, Leonard is trying to work on it... guess it's hard to get anything done while a demon is zooming through your workshop with a flying machine! 😉

It took quite a lot of fiddling to get the wings positioned like that, but I really wanted Crowley to stretch a wing over Aziraphale's head for reasons. 🥹

A huge shout-of goes to AREA-X (SEMBO) for providing their wonderful INSPIRATION FROM ART - GREAT ARTIST DIORAMA SERIES, feat. this Leonardo Da Vinci set I used to 'Good Omify' (that's not a word, but it should be) his space!

It was great fun to build, even if the staircase must have been designed in hell! The rest of it, though, feels and looks heavenly! There are so many gorgeous prints, awesome custom pieces, and teeny-tiny details that are barely visible once everything is fully assembled! A Metallic Gold frog sitting below the staircase and looking out the stained glass window? Sure, why not? I love it! 😂

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

@ineffablyruined I hope you enjoy this little interpretation of a happy memory that surely must exist in the canon Good Omens universe, even if we haven't seen it on the show! 🥰

Day 22: Memory | G | WC: 257 | AO3

“What’s this?” Frank asked, a hand on his hip. He’s gazing down at a dusty cardboard box stored at the corner of the King’s apartment. 

“Oh,” Mel replied. She walks over to where the box is, crouching down to turn its other side. A faded black ink inscription at the center reads Family. 

“I haven’t opened this box since we moved here,” said Mel, settling with crossing her legs to sit beside. Frank joins in on warming up the floor. 

Below the surface of the flaps is a photo album, a soft, dark brown leather with a thickness that reached the middle. Memories, etched on the cover. 

The sound of flipping pages filled the quiet reminiscence. Pictures of Mel’s parents, her mom’s golden hair and familiar smile, and her dad’s eyes. First days and birthdays, and Mel, who had always held Becca’s hand in all of them. 

Past halfway through the book, Frank noticed a picture, “You dyed your hair green?”

Mel snickered at his amused tone, nodding, “Freshman undergrad.”

Frank’s brow shot up, intrigued for more. “It seemed cool at the time,” Mel laughs with light in her breath, flustered at the memory.

The turn of the pages slowed as they reached the blank pages of the album, the clear plastic sleeves laid bare, as if time stopped. Mel grazes her finger on the empty spaces, eyes reddening with leaning tears until Frank reaches for her hand. He looks at her with a smile and a promise to fill the pages with memories of their own.

Additional lore below the cut

The Sunlight Zora: A brief history

Prior to 10,000 years ago, the sunlight zora (not called the sunlight zora at the time) resided in deep sea trenches. Whom rarely intermingled with other domains. During the sealing wars between the holders of the tri-force, sheika technology manufacturers were dumping their production waste directly into the oceans off of the akkalan coastline.

This caused rapid algae blooms that created oxygen dead zones in certain parts of the water column. With barren hunting grounds, the small domain was forced to flee inland.

A thousand years would pass as the shrinking population of deep sea zora struggled to establish a new domain. But as the suffering population moved into further reaches of tabantha and hebra, they were saved by the limestone cave systems that run under and through the Hebra mountain range.

As the small domain grew, so did their technology. In order to combat the frigid waters of the dark cave system, they developed an intricate mirror system that condenses and funnels sunlight through the depths of the caverns, warming the water and providing ambient light throughout the upper levels of their growing temple.

Day 22: Memory @kingdonmicrofic

Frank struggles to remember somethings. Others... not so much.

260/241

----

It was weird the things the brain held onto as important. What it deleted in the assumption that the information held no longer term significance.

Frank could remember the first time he threw a punch, but not why.

Where he’d had his first kiss but not the girl in question. If it was even a girl?

The day he realised he wanted to be a doctor. But not when marrying Abby had first occurred to him?

But nearly everything important about Mel seemed to be stuck in his brain. The first time he’d heard her voice. Her mentioning how important she’d found the work in the VA. Her sister.

And yet he forgot his lunch every single fucking morning.

Cassie was speaking about her memory of her worst day with her addiction. Clearly it was resonating with Frank but not in the way he was expecting. He’d anticipated anger at his parents being fucking cheapskates at asking him to move shit. Not hiring the movers he’d recommended. Anger at himself for not lifting that damn box properly. Not going to Robby when he’d first recognised his growing dependency.

Nope instead his brain was cataloguing everything he had on Mel King.

Her voice as she introduced herself. Those eyes entirely focused on him as they worked through their first case. The mutual delight at seeing each other again.

Also the pattern and constellations of freckles and moles. From what entirely appropriate for colleagues if not friends, level of skin exposure he’d seen of Mel King.

Where had he proposed to Abby?

Erm. Looking at the other entries, I kind of misunderstood this prompt. Still, I'm happy with this.

I hope it still counts!

Also the end is messy, I'm sorry. :(

The day Rowan defended her Archon's thesis went by in a blur. But once they got home, Urianger took the time to give her a night she'd remember.
