this is not an ask boss but ...i had no idea you liked archy and mehitabel when i started writing a good omens version and now i am only sad you won t get to see how surprisingly well these entities of yours fit in also it turns out aziraphale did know cleopatra after all and although there s a dance in the angel yet he sings wottheheck wottheheck instead of anything more vulgar

I will fantasize a world in which Herriman drew them all...

[velvetbebop]

be careful what you wish for boss around poems about reincarnation

[velvetbebop]

OH MY GOD I had no idea this existed or that Neil Gaiman would have any idea who archy and mehitabel are. I didn’t know anyone still read or cared about them, I just had a vision that Crowley would make an excellent cockroach poet and Aziraphale would be a fine alley cat muse and it worked so much better than I expected and maybe this helps explain why

« men and insects are the same both transient flocks of starry dust that out of nothing came the planets are what atoms are and neither more nor less

insects are not always going to be bullied by humanity some day they will revolt

as a representative of the insect world i have often wondered on what man bases his claims to superiority everything he knows he has had to learn whereas we insects are born knowing everything we need to know

one thing that shows that insects are superior to men is the fact that insects run their affairs without political campaigns elections and so forth

i look to the day when the human race is done and we insects romp and play freely underneath the sun. »

once i realized crowley and aziraphale rhymes and even scans with archy and mehitabel it was all over for me but at no point did i imagine that anyone would actually read it so thank you

[ceaselesslywatched]

listen, all i’m saying, is that if you open a bag clearly labeled “dead dove do not eat,” and then you pick up the dead dove and take a bite out of it, and all this time you’re in a building with a sign saying “dead doves in bags convention” and you had to sign in at the door, you don’t get to complain about people who put dead doves in bags

GO Book Fest Work Debut

Presenting the debut of The Road to Ruin Is on Fire by hexqueen517(AO3). The story’s summary:

Crowley is a professional driver on the straight and narrow. His days as a getaway driver ended when his crew’s leader, Beatrix Beals, gave up crime to embrace famous motivational speaker Gabriel Horn’s “Great Plan.” Only Horn was the real criminal, recently caught embezzling millions from his stockholders. Now Beals wants revenge by stealing Horn’s antique car collection. Crowley is just the person to execute Beals’ “Greater Plan” by posing as a chauffeur. His new job requires him to drive Horn’s 1933 Bentley, the greatest car ever built. It also seems to involve taking Horn’s half-brother Aziraphale shopping, on picnics, and out for leisurely drives, usually after staying up late drinking with Aziraphale. Steal the cars? Why would he ever want to leave?

angels, deciding what shape to take when interacting with The Humans: well….eye contact is important to humans, right? they find it reassuring when they can see the eyes of the person they’re talking to. so if we have LOTS of eyes, in very visible places, that’ll be even MORE reassuring

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

can’t stop thinking how much sense it would make if every design choice angels made was just a misguided attempt to Relate To The Humans. imagine how those conversations went

wings: “humans don’t like things they can’t understand, so if we’re going to levitate we should have wings. in fact we should probably have lots of wings, since we’re so big and impressive. humans like wings”

loud, booming voices: “fuck off Azrael the humans needs to be able to hear us.”

glowing: “no no no, it’s about visibility, right? the main human sensory organ works by detecting light, so if we emit light…” 

wheels: “why the hell are you shaped like that?” “piss off, the humans are really proud of this invention”

multiple faces/eyes: “it makes me relatable” “i swear to God it doesn’t–” “i need to see in every direction” “ Azrael you are a supernatural messenger of god you do not need–” “THE HUMANS NEED TO KNOW I’M WATCHING”

multiple limbs: “humans have lots of limbs! they like limbs” “look i let you keep the wings but–” “how do you expect me to walk?” “70,000 feet is not a reasonable number of feet, Azrael!” “fuck off i’m ENORMOUS” 

general gross misapprehensions of biology: “holy shit are your wings made out of eyes?” “look before you say anything i’m like 100% sure i’ve seen animals who have both wings and eyes. and you can fit so many more in this way!” “….you godforsaken googly-eyed genius”

Coming soon: my fill for @go-events‘s GO Book Fest, a fusion of Good Omens and Seanan McGuire’s October Daye series, especially the third book, An Artificial Night.

if thy feet be nimble and thy heart be light

Children are disappearing from across the Faerie Kingdom of Londinium, including the local Prince of Cats. To keep the various factions from blaming one another, Aziraphale, retired Hero of the Realm, embarks on one last quest, to find the children and bring them home. But this quest will be more dangerous and take her further than she’s even been before. The roads through Faerie are dark and wild, and each will take their price, often in blood.

How many miles to Babylon? Three score miles and ten. And canst thou get there by candle-light? Yes, my lady, and back again. If thy feet be nimble and thy heart be light, Thou may get there and back by the candle’s light.

A Secret Garden AU I’m writing for the @go-events Book Event AU. 

“Auntie G really did love your letters.” Crowley’s voice was a whisper. It didn’t need to be louder. they were leaning into each other, shoulders pressed together.

“I loved hers,” Aziraphale said.  “She always had so much to say about you.”

Keep reading

David explaining his pansexuality to Stevie

The reveal of David’s pansexuality is scripted to challenge viewers’ assumptions of the character. According to Levy, David’s initial relationship with a woman, Stevie, is meant to dispel the notion that the character is gay due to his effeminate nature and push the boundaries of what it means to be traditionally masculine or feminine.

It’s book omens week!!! so here’s First Day at the Office starring “I’m full of annoying questions and I’m about to make it everyone’s problem” and “Oh god oh fuck I only just got this job and I may have already fucked up real bad” in the laborious process of inventing gay stupidity

NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg is a self proclaimed crafter. A week ago she made a stuffed dinosaur from scraps on the space station. The little T-rex is made form the lining of Russian food containers and the toy is stuffed with scraps from an old T-shirt. While many toys have flown into space, this is the first produced in space.

Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse ( words) by PaleBlueEis Chapters: 1/4 Fandom: Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens) Characters: Aziraphale (Good Omens), Crowley (Good Omens) Additional Tags: Post-Almost Apocalypse (Good Omens), Dessert & Sweets Series: Part 4 of an age at least to every part Summary:

Aziraphale takes Crowley on a date, not that he calls it a "date" in so many words. Or in any words. Even for a retired angel who keeps a feelings journal, there are limits. Crowley knows this, he just wishes he knew what they were.
