(different anon) I'm so glad loosely Ballroom isn't abandoned!! I'm going to wait how ever long it takes I reread it periodically I love it so much!! the shakespeare, shakespearian!!!!! the date the slapstick the RUMBA SCENE the oh no he's hot the horsemen the all and everything I'm gnawing at the walls i love it so much.

hi different anon i’m dad

thank you for shouting out the horsemen specifically they are my baby boys and i love them

THANKS FOR READING and for your patience! honestly speaking i’ll probably finish my other current WIP before we get a chance to finish loosely ballroom and i’m hoping to do that before the year is out. i was a bit worried that my less-than-positive reaction to s2 might have murdered my enthusiasm but as it turns out i’m a spiteful bitch. i’ve also been beta-ing a fic for a pal which is getting published soon and he is a legitimate genius and i will be screaming from every rooftop about it so WATCH THIS SPACE FOR GOOD FIC

Crowley's duck fixation has gone too far

Hi, i've only just discovered your and marginalia_device's Loosely Ballroom a few weeks ago, and i've been delightfully savoring every chapter slowly, but then the last chapter came and i realized it wasn't finished yet! Did you guys take a hiatus? Or did you decide to stop writing it? (if you do i understand, and thank you and marginalia_device for this wonderful fic!

hello lovely nonnie!

we are on a very, very, very long hiatus. neither of us consider LB abandoned, but I’ve tried to say when we might be able to get back to writing it in the past, and time and circumstance have made a liar of me every time

we know exactly how it ends, how we get there, every silly number and costume they’re both going to wear before the end — the issue is simply that we (mainly marginalia) has some pretty big and unavoidable career responsibilities of the sort that make it impossible to write it at the minute. SUCCESS…….. TRULY A CURSE

thank you for your kind kind words and I’m so pleased and weirded out (affectionate) that still all these years (YEARS! INSANE!) later, people are discovering it and loving it!

It wasn’t something [Crowley] indulged in often - even the word felt strange, to indulge, but as odd as it was, it felt right. It was a strange pleasure but a pleasure nonetheless. Something about the tickling, itching tightness of the skin, the feeling of being marked by the passage of time, of carrying the memory of the day in his body.

He arched his back, feeling like the earth was pressing upwards, holding him aloft, rather than him pressing down against it. Perhaps, he thought, he’d catch the sun a little - a kiss of prickling pink on the bridge of his nose and the high points of his cheeks…

suuuuper quick sketch from @indieninja92’s God May Not Play Games where Crowley is relaxing in the medieval Irish sun and will shortly be joined by a very sweaty angel on horseback

!!!!!

sure would be nice if the fic writers updated at some point

cha cha cha

These arrived and i need to sort out my poor Patreons in limbo send outs, but you have until end of today-ish to get in the shop before it shuts! (Not liking this back and forth closure, but it's the sensible option on a one man band operation.)

you’re laughing. they’re horrifically misinterpreting my favorite character’s personality and you’re laughing

[mortifyingideal]

I love tumblr because you’ll see a beautiful poetic text post cross your dash saying something like “when two characters loathe each other but only because they perceive the self in the other, a jagged reflection whose gaze they cannot meet. They circle one another eternally like spiral galaxies, and neither will ever be able to admit that they understand the other better than anyone else they’ve ever known🌌”

And then you read the tags your mutual put on it and they’re “#SO true #this is Glomgold and Scrooge McDuck fr🥺” and you have to go about your day and deal with that

[mortifyingideal]

NEEDED to tell you i'm so relieved you posted your thoughts on s2 i feel so freaking vindicated. your honour he wouldn't say that!!!!!

i am more than happy to vindicate you darling! the season was not good, imho, and that’s all there is to it. there were however so many fun and delightful Aziraphale moments this season, mostly coming through in Michael’s acting choices and delivery rather than brilliant writing which was notably absent throughout. and i am simply going to cling onto those and anything else, well
