For those of us who were using the Good Omens Finale as the "I can't leave this Earth without seeing GOS3", we have a new goal post! Remember, 'Epic! The Musical' is getting an annimated movie! So you'll want to stick around for that! 💜
There's always another reason to stay.
Sometimes that reason is silly little angels and demons. And sometimes its something else.
The important thing is that you are trying and we see you. We support you. We love that you're here.
Log on tomorrow and like more unhinged stuff on Tumblr. We love having you around 🤍🖤

Serenity_Black (she/any) has been writing fanfiction since she was very young, but fell into a dry spell from creating for a while. Then after finding a pair of lovable ethereal beings, Serenity_Black’s love of writing was reignited, further strengthened by an ineffable fandom who welcomed her in and brought incredible encouragement. Keep reading to learn more about her ideations into our beloved Good Omens world.
Serenity_Black has some major upcoming plans in her personal life, but always manages to find time for many other activities when not writing about Good Omens:
“I'm currently in America in Kansas, but will be moving to the East Coast later this year. I'm eyeing the UK for a future move though cause I've always wanted to explore other countries. When I'm not writing I do art, game, stream on TikTok, or I work lol. I'm a pretty simple person who spends most of her free time online with her friends.”
The Good Omens series has been available to view over the last several years, but Serenity_Black didn’t latch on to it immediately…for reasons 😁
“I was aware of Good Omens through ads I saw on Amazon. It 100% looked like something I could enjoy and obsess over. However, I didn't have time for another hyperfixation so I intentionally avoided it! XD When season two dropped I was in a better space and was like 'Sure, I have time!' And I watched the first episode, then the 2nd...then the 3rd and next thing I knew it was 6am and S1 was done xD I've been obsessed ever since!”
This show has SUCH a pull once you dive in - and for Serenity_Black, it did more than just generate a place in her heart for a certain angel and demon:
“Good Omens [was my inspiration to create]. I hadn't been able to write anything, let alone Fanfiction, in 10 years and as soon as the final 15 ended I sat there with all these theories and needed an outlet. I ordered a Bluetooth keyboard from Amazon 3 days later because I was running out of paper. Bought a whiteboard and got to work xD”
That’s absolutely incredible and we are so fortunate that it brought you into the GO fold!!
And if it isn’t pretty obvious by now, we’ll share Serenity_Black’s answer to the one question that we ask all of our writers about who is their favorite pairing😇😈:
“Aziracrow lol I haven't written for any of the others to be honest. I love our Ineffable idiots.”
They really are so inspiring, aren’t they? 🥹 A romance for the universe!! 🥰
Now as you may or may not know, not all of Serenity_Black’s stories are for the faint of heart, as she describes some of her preferred writing themes:
“>.>...<.<... I write smut, angst, whump, and very dark themes. One tag I use a lot is Dead Dove, because when I put a tag I mean that tag and I need people to take them seriously for their own sake. Tags I put aren't just touched on, it's explored in unapologetic detail and I want readers to know that.”
Thanks for the precautions - and the reminder that tags are important!!! And on that note, you may have discovered that Serenity_Black has one other fandom that she is particularly fond of writing in:
“Hannibal NBC! I write the murder husband's cause they allow my smut to get very dark lol”
Indeed! Be sure to check out Serenity_Black’s catalog of works on all of her socials (all links shared at the end of this post):
“I'm mostly on Tumblr and AO3, and while I have a Bluesky, I need to use it more >.<”
While you are visiting these sites, you’ll also discover another wonderful talent that Serenity_Black shares with this fandom outside of writing😍 :
“I am an artist as well as a writer and I have done some fanart for the fandom before.”
Artworks are one of the greatest gifts in the Good Omens fandom!! We are so happy that you share these with us as well!! And among Serenity_Black’s written treasures in the GO realm, one stands out as her absolute favorite:
“'Of Gardens and the Second Coming' is the 78k Season 3 speculation fic I made. It was the first thing I wrote in the GO fandom. Not the first I finished, but the first one I started on. I'm very proud of it. I tried to keep it as canon as possible and make it a realistic possibility that we would get from Amazon.”
That’s pretty amazing!! 😮 And of course, finding the right storylines and themes can present obstacles for all of our writers - as one of our readers wanted to learn from Serenity_Black:
✨✨What have you found that has been the biggest challenge for you about writing GO fic?
“Staying true to the tone of the books. Sometimes I just throw that out the window and write, other times I try to keep that comedy and tone like I did with 'Of Gardens'. But when I want to keep the tone it can be difficult for me because of the subjects I'm used to writing.”
Well you do an incredible job 👏👏👏 And as we approach the final episode of the series, curious minds want to know what else is brewing in Serenity_Black’s mind:
✨✨What's the project you are most excited to be working on at the moment?
“I want to get back to a fic idea I had of a darker ending to Season 3 where Crowley and Aziraphale end up in Hell thinking the other betrayed them. Not much more than an outline is currently written…”
But Serenity_Black is honoring us by sharing what bits of this post S3 WIP that have been written so far (at least Aziraphale’s POV):
“Aziraphale sat at his Heavenly desk, surrounded by Holy Memos and instructions on the End of Days. He looked haggard, the stubble he’d been fighting had won and his beard was now full and overgrown. His normally short and wispy hair had grown out and started to spiral in on itself creating his own halo of curls. His head was currently resting defeatedly in his hands as he tried to calm himself down.
He had tried everything, everything he could think of over the last year to stop The Second Coming. He had to sit back and face the facts: whether he wanted it to or not, the end of the world was happening in less than a year.
The angel leaned back in his uncomfortable chair wishing, not for the first time, that it was the plush comfy one in his shop. He let out a frustrated sigh.
What am I even doing here? This was a mistake…Crowley was right, Heaven won't change and I’ve been a fool to think it could…
Crowley.
His mind stuck on the name as a pang of longing resonated through him. It had been a year since he’d seen him in person, heard his voice. He’d of course used the globe to peak in on him every once and a while. ‘To make sure he wasn’t causing any trouble’ he’d told himself. He didn't seem to be faring much better than himself. A fact that gave him no satisfaction as he was sure it was his continued absence that had the demon in a constant sour mood.
The other angels had made the time crawl slowly by. They insulted him at every turn, Supreme Archangel or not, and were resistant to even the smallest suggestions. Aziraphale found himself in a petty mood, one that he couldn’t even find it in himself to be ashamed of. He’d had enough of them and their snide remarks behind his back and to his face. He knew they didn’t respect him, they didn’t even like him and at this point the feeling was far past mutual.
His preoccupation was interrupted as Michael slammed a stack of texts onto his desk, knocking some important scrolls to the floor where they rolled away into the ethereally bright halls. Far from startled, Aziraphale opened his eyes slowly and cast a side-long look at the other angel from where he lounged. He’d had just about enough of this and it was about time they knew it.
”I can assure you that I have plenty to do already, Michael.” His voice was low and dangerous, his displeasure on full display with no pretenses took the other angel aback. He sat up slowly looking after the rouge scrolls and back to Michael. “I’m going to need those back. Now.”
Michael blinked, uncertainty and surprise written all over their ageless countenance as they slowly raised their arm and snapped. The scrolls, now miracled back, sat next to the new texts now taking up much needed space on the small desk.
“Thank you,” Aziraphale said cooly, no gratitude behind the words. Michael looked like they wanted to say something and Aziraphale’s eyes narrowed. “What now Michael? Did you forget to insult me to my face today? Because, frankly, after the year I’ve had I can tell you I am rather done with the abuse from the rest of you.”
The other angel's mouth was open, jaw nearly on the floor at being spoken to this way. Yes, Aziraphale had been known to say the off-hand petty thing, but he hadn’t yet been outright rude to them like this before. It seemed to them that the Supreme Archangel had finally snapped.
”It’s just that the Metatron wants these looked through for anything that can accelerate the timeline.” Michael replied flatly, trying not to show that Aziraphale’s tone had gotten under their skin.
Aziraphale, having just made a decision, stood up and straightened his pale waistcoat, brushing off some imaginary dust and turning away from the other. “Then you do it Michael, I’m going out.”
”Going out? Where? There’s work to be done!” Michael seethed, whatever this new attitude was they weren’t having it.
”Where I go is none of your concern,” Aziraphale retorted vehemently. “As for the work….” He turned back to the other angel momentarily, “I am delegating the task to you in my absence. I trust that won't be an issue.”
He didn’t wait around for a reply, he simply walked away from his desk in the direction of the elevator to SoHo leaving a seething Michael in his wake. "
NOTE: The next bit will be Crowley's POV <3)
OOOH that’s wonderful!! We will all look forward to more of this - including Crowley’s side - when you find the time!!
“Most of my ideas have been put aside for right now as I am focusing on getting things set up to move at the end of the year.”
We do wish you all the best on your future moves and hope that everything goes smoothly for you!!! 🤗 🤗
Before we wrap up our time with Serenity_Black, she offers these words of wisdom for anyone who is writing, or thinking of writing their own stories:
“Step away if you need to. Sometimes you have to let your mind and ideas rest. That way you can come back with a fresh perspective and a rested mind.”
Great points!! Clearing your mind is good for all aspects of life - not just writing. And here’s one more tip from Serenity_Black to help you get those creative juices flowing when you do set off on the writing journey:
“Let your mind wander to weird places and then write it down! You don't have to share it with anyone, but exercise your imagination! Give someone a hair and ears! Or make them a sea creature! Imagine what their life would be like if they lived nearby a volcano! Go crazy with it! Just explore and write. That's the important bit.”
Thank you so much, Serenity_Black, for exploring and writing for all of us. It was truly our pleasure to learn more about you and share your story with this fandom ☺️❤️

The Good Omens Prime account posted a new poster today, and Peter Anderson Studio decided to give us a ring.
Of course we had to answer the call... Would be rude not to.
Translation and explanation for the poster is below the cut.
So first off for those that are curious, this is nowhere near the Angelic trial script found in season 2. On closer inspection, the symbols seemed to be some sort of repeating flourish font. So we had to find the font.
I spent 3 whole US dollars on this terrible decorative filigree.
Now all that's left is to type out every single letter by hand one by one, and presto change-o
So what mysteeeeeerious secrets have we revealed?
"dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit..."
If that quote looks familiar to you, you're probably a graphic designer. This text is a mixture of standard placeholder Latin, corrupted fragments, and keyboard-mashing, a literal translation is impossible. However, we can translate the source phrases from which these rings were built.
In professional typesetting, Lorem Ipsum text is meant to simulate the "look" of a document without the "distraction" of meaning. If we translate the intended meaning of the recognizable Latin roots, the inscription reads like a fragmented philosophical treatise on pain and duty.
Most of these rings are derived from the same sentence:
"Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit…"
"There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain…"
Ring 1 (outside)
elit sed do adipiscin do eius modg elit exe adipiscing elit adipiscing elit rcit- tion ind of orem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing
Ring 2
orem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit sed do eiusmod ugimt sit vo(vd)luptatem nda dbc iueq sunt in culpa qui dolor incia
These rings focus on dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod.
"…pursuing excellence, but also through the work and pain of the moment. [Corrupted gibberish: dugimt, dbc] …they are in fault who [fail in their] duty through a weakness of mind."
Ring 3
ipsum mnnv dnmvn dfgnkda iem io sum dolor sit amet consecti dolor ea mc vemo cillu volu m dolor eenia i voluus m “Heart broken World Broken What’s the point of anything?” di
This ring contains the most corruption
Recognizable Roots: veniam, illum, voluptas.
"…[Gibberish]… pain itself… [Gibberish]… that piece of pleasure… [Gibberish]… Heart broken World Broken What’s the point of anything?"
Ring 4
Amet consectetur adipiscing elit sed do eius ____lee dolor in reprmin i fmm ve n iekjd eo ore voluptate sum dolor sit
Ring 5
adipiscing elit sed do eiusmod tempor cu quip ex ea comms ltmn jrew t r t e f nb ai nima veniam esi ea commor
These rings use fragments of the section discussing "the effort required to achieve results."
reprehenderit, voluptate, eiusmod tempor, ex ea commodo.
"…to find fault in [reprehenderit] pleasure… [Gibberish]… through the effort of work… [Gibberish]… unless they result in some convenience or advantage."
Ring 6
corporis suscipit laeorios am ev a dkd wr scing elit sed mque laudante totam rem aper iam ullam
This ring pulls from the "laborious" section of the text.
corporis suscipit laboriosam, laudantium, rem aperiam, ullam.
"…undertakes laborious physical exercise… [Gibberish]… praising… I will open the whole matter… [Gibberish]… no one."
Ring 7 (left side) Ring 7 (right side)
um dolor sit ame i consese __ur adipiscing orem ipsum dolor sit
Ring 8 (left side) Ring 8 (right side)
eiusmoddbc iue qwkl Orem ipsum dolor sit
Ring 9 (left side) Ring 9 (right side)
mec at sua dolor i dolor ee mn neu
These outer/inner fragments are repetitions of the same opening phrases.
"Pain itself… consectetur… eiusmod… their own pain."
Conclusion:
Peter Anderson studios are giant trolls and deserve
to be put in a corner to think about what they’ve done.
On behalf of everyone in the @ineffable-detective-agency who worked on this rush job:
You can also check out our instagram where we posted it first. You can ping Peter Anderson while you're at it and tell them to try harder next time.

Thanks for the tag @willgrahamsballsack this was fun! I do too much art, game a lot, and love to read xD my bag is either over-flowing or is just my wallet and keys and a few tampons lol xD
I think as someone who watched Hannibal (tv show) for the very first time in the year 2026 what has stunned me the most is the amount of tumblr accounts with urls somehow related to Hannibal lecter and will grahams genitals. truly mindblowing but very much appreciated
