It was kind of satisfying watching Drawlight’s downward spiral from “close friend of Norrell” (who’s really only using him for good publicity) to scam artist to debtor’s prison, but I still think he deserved worse.

re: drawlight's old fics

TL;DR i'm not sharing drawlight's fics anymore because i personally don't feel comfortable doing so. i'm sorry if that disappoints people.

i've gotten some more messages recently about sharing their old fanfic, which i understand as more people have returned to good omens. for context, drawlight is a friend and years back, after they left the fandom, they gave me permission to share their fic if i got messages for it.

but that was years ago. and i've thought a lot about it and feel that if they wanted to share their fic, they would. it's not my art to share and i care about them more than helping people access the things drawlight themself doesn't want to think about. this is not me condemning anyone for sharing these fics in private btw, i understand! but i personally don't want to be the "keeper of drawlight fic" especially when i know how much the shitty part of the fandom hurt them back in 2019.

they reuploaded Salinity a little while back, which is their most famous work. i know Literarion has several podfic if you're alright with audiobooks.

anyway, that's all and please remember 1) don't send the show creators or actors another fan's work, and 2) be kind to each other. fanart is not a reason to shit all over someone. if you hate it, block it.

Even after everything that's happened in this book, I wasn't expecting an outright murder.

[whumpidumpi]

please please please does anyone know if there's a way to read the old drawlight works? I read 'ad astra' like 4 years ago and I still think about it. I wish there was a way to read all their good omens works again

maybe @aziraphales-library ?

Good Omens Fic Rec: I Will Get Up Now And Go About The City

This is the story of six-thousand years and a borrowed jacket. (A tale told in vignettes.)

Length: 30,146 words

AO3 Rating: Explicit / Spice Level 🔥🔥🔥

Best for: At Home, Romance

Triggers: None

Read it here, fic by drawlight (ripeteeth)

*Minor Spoilers* I actually read the summary wrong when I opened this and thought it was vignettes about specifically a borrowed jacket and that is not the case lol. But I'm glad to be wrong. This was a wonderful collection of vignettes, beautifully arranged. The author does list out the order you could read if you want it chronological, but I think it's best the way it's already laid out. We move back and forth through time, every backstory giving context to the present. The prose is sometimes frantic, a stream of conscience that makes it feel very intimate, but on my first read was a little hard for me to focus on. I needed to go to bed when I read this and was fighting it. That's not the fault of this story, but I enjoyed my second read through much more because I was in the right headspace for it. Just keep that in mind when you read this! Pay attention, you'll want to soak all this romance up.

Childermass' adventures on grindr

Original post: X

Bonus Uskglass:

[slow-burn-sally]

Are you in an Age Of Sail fandom like The Terror, Black Sails, or Master and Commander?

Are you in a fantasy/time travel fandom like Dr. Who, The Librarians, or The Magicians?

Are you in a period piece fandom like Pride & Prejudice, Bridgerton, or Persuasion?

Are you looking for a new hyperfixation or special interest to absolutely lose your mind over? Well then, step right up! Have I got the fandom for you!

It's Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell!

This book and series have everything, folks! True love! Intrigue! Magic! Ships! Politics! Sly, subtle jokes! The sweetest cinnamon rolls! The most dastardly villains!

And it comes in two flavors! You can either watch the well done and chock-full-of-hotties 2015 TV series, or! you can read Susanna Clarke's deceptively addictive 800 page book full of footnotes! Both are guaranteed to pull the soul from your body and keep you enslaved in an enchanted fairy kingdom for the rest of your earthly days!

The series is now available for the low, low price of $5 on Amazon! Or, watch it FREE on YouTube! You can buy the book at affordable rates on many platforms where books are sold, and the audiobook is great too!

And if That doesn't sell you on this fandom, then just wait until you lay your peepers on this boy:

So, drop everything! Run to your local internet source or bookseller, and start an adventure of a lifetime that will leave your heart buried in a dark wood beneath the snow where you can still feel its ache!

Invest now, and we'll even throw in this grumpy autistic guy for free!

Someone needs to study the way Lascelles acts towards the men he wants to fuck.

Sketchy sketch of part of “Leucrocuta, the Wolf of the Evening” I might turn into something eventually.

[shloodles]

ID: four sketches of characters from jonathan strange and mr. norrell. 1) norrell, a mouse-like older man with an oversized wig slumped in an armchair with a cup of tea in his lap, looking extremely weary. 2) norrell glaring at childermass, a younger man with messy hair in a ponytail, who is leaning against a wall with arms crossed, looking at norrell judgmentally. 3) lascelles and drawlight looking at the viewer. lascelles, standing behind drawlight, is a slim man with short hair wearing a disinterested expression and holding a small glass of something. drawlight, a shorter plumper man with rouged cheeks and a wig is wiggling his fingers with a delighted and nefarious expression. 4) segundus, a young thin man with curly hair standing stock straight with his hands clasped awkwardly yet delicately in front of him, staring straight ahead with a haunted expression. behind him stands honeyfoot, an older portly man with thin hair, looking slightly bewildered. end ID
