The Little Blonde Angel Support Group is going as well as could be expected…which isn’t well at all.

Oo! but OREOS!

“Aziraphale,” he repeated softly.

"Ah. Nnh. Eh. Ah. Nng. El."

Aziraphale held his breath while the merlotl went through the sounds again, trying to fit them in a mouth that was either out of practice or was never designed for such a name as his. It started and ended with a sigh, the barest exhalation of sound, but the middle sounded like he was swallowing, choking on the syllable with a squeeze of air forcing a click through his throat.

Aziraphale felt something painful twist in his chest. He had known humans to make less effort with his name. People who could speak it perfectly well if they just took the time to. They just didn’t think he was worth the bother. He felt his eyes water, and he knew he was going to start crying in a moment.

“That’s it. Angel.” He pressed a hand to his chest again. “Angel. Angel—try that?”

The question of intelligence and cognition in Xenoerpeton anthropoides is one that has never been asked before, much less explored. To do so would require a researcher to come into contact with one of these elusive semi-aquatic creatures (more commonly known as merlotl). Professor Aziraphale Eastwise, finds himself in the curious, privileged position to engage with one of these creatures up close and personal. Finally, a chance to answer all the questions he’s ever had about these strange evolutionary cousins. And the answers he receives aren’t what he expects of a simple creature—even one who is human-like.

Crowley is a social pariah among his kind who is undeniably funny, clever, curious, sensitive, caring, and intelligent. His discovery of the depths of merlotl thought and social habits could cement his fame and renown for decades to come, but this opportunity comes at a cost—Aziraphale is trapped in a cave with slowly dwindling supplies and rapidly diminishing hope. The longer he’s trapped, the more he finds himself considering questions of a forbidden nature. Questions that can’t possibly be ethical or natural. Or wanted.

Besides, surely it isn’t productive to even consider what attraction or mating behaviors look like in merlotl. After all, if a primate and an amphibious creature fell in love, where would they live? And Aziraphale needs rescue soon. Never has the adage, “publish or perish” been more apt. Or: How budget cuts lead to the discovery of a century—and the discovery of Aziraphale's heart. A story about falling in love with the subject of one’s research grant.

It's here! This is what I've been steadily working away at since March based on art by the incredible @sungmee!! A tender monsterlover tale full of angst and survival and terror. (But also love and healing.)

I'm on my summertime era👀✨

• An angel and a demon sunbathing in Southern Italy •

I like to think of this one as a postcard Aziraphale would write to Gabriel and Beelzebub with a lot of kind words and exciting news... only for Crowley to seize it from him before he sends it off to keep it for himself ❤️

Next fanart will be... 🔥✨

One should always have at least 2 craft projects going. That way, when one of them is messed up and misbehaving, you can switch to another, and let the first one sit there and think about what it's done.

I feel like politicians' insults about each other have really gone down hill. These days it's all "moron" and "loser", so childish. Think what you will of Paul Keating, but he gave us such gems as "he's a shiver waiting for a spine", "debating him is like being flogged with warm lettuce", "he's like a lizard on a rock: alive but looking dead", "he's all tip and no iceberg".

Where's the creativity these days?!

New Chapter of Good Omens Sailor AU, Anchored - Turning the Corner

This ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ is the official chapter summary on AO3. Summary:

Previously, reporter Ferdinand Furness interviewed Crowley and Aziraphale. The reporter tried to heighten tension between the rivals in the upcoming single-handed Bilton & Scaggs Round the World Classic. Instead, he found himself on the back foot as the pair teamed up to get the better of him. In this chapter, our pair get to know each other better over lunch before posing in a photoshoot for their World Sailing cover story.

But to me, it's the first chapter referencing a naked Aziraphale and his tattoos. Yes, really. (Sorry, no smut. I promised a slow burn and I meant it.) 🐌 🔥 This fic is complete and posts a new chapter every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Anchored (11239 words) by CuriousPupsicle Chapters: 5/27 Fandom: Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Terry Pratchett Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens), Maggie/Nina (Good Omens) Characters: Crowley (Good Omens), Aziraphale (Good Omens), Beelzebub (Good Omens), Nina (Good Omens), Maggie (Good Omens), Satan | Lucifer (Good Omens), Dagon (Good Omens), Eric | Disposable Demon (Good Omens), Hastur (Good Omens), Ligur (Good Omens), Adam Young (Good Omens), Brian (Good Omens), Anathema Device, Pepper (Good Omens), Wensleydale (Good Omens), Sergeant Shadwell (Good Omens), Madame Tracy (Good Omens), Original Characters, Furfur (Good Omens), Shax (Good Omens), Josh (Good Omens), Ms Cheng (Good Omens) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Human, Sailing, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, But not really enemies more like rivals, Boat puns, Slow Burn, Happy Ending, Implied/Referenced Homophobia, Sexism, Strong Aziraphale (Good Omens), Strong Female Characters, Sailboat Racing, Sailboat cruising, Crowley is Good With Kids (Good Omens), Aziraphale is Good With Kids (Good Omens), sorry-the burn is so slow glaciers have formed lakes faster, Aziraphale is "just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing" (Good Omens) Summary: Anthony J. Crowley has it all. He's captain of the world-class sailing yacht Hellish and famous for his daring, viral stunts. Sponsored by the wealthy fashion empire Scratch, Crowley can't spend his earnings fast enough. And fans throng wherever he appears. Why does it no longer feel like enough? Does it have anything to do with Aziraphale Fell, his rival in the upcoming Bilton & Scaggs Round the World Classic Sailboat Race?

Frank Herbert's Catholic Problems really permeate dune at every conceivable level but one of the clearest might be when he's like And then. The scariest old woman you've seen in your life Hurts you. So bad. Unimaginable pain. But if you don't tolerate it she'll kill you. Because suffering through pain without flinching away is what my scary space cult thinks makes them more human than other people. And it's intentional to be clear dune is a lot of very very intentional critique of various religious organizations but some of that makes you kinda pause and go Hey man? Are you good
