[sparrowsortadrawzzz]

*drops through your ceiling* D’you wanna hear about the Good Omens mostly-human-highschool-except-one-of-them-is-a-cryptid (spoiler alert - it’s Beelzebub. And they’ve got issues. Lots of issues. Actually spoiler alert the whole gang has issues [especially Aziraphale] but what’s new?) AU I’ve been cooking up in my head? It’s somewhere between a drama a comedy and a thriller and is like totally saturated in the found family trope.

YES go insane <3

Hi yes hello Sparrow I have a burning question for you

So you know eating contests? The one where you try to eat more of whatever food in a set amount of time than the other competetors? Who do you think would win.

The literal sin of gluttony themself.

The bitch that almost got himself executed for crepes.

I genuinely can’t decide it’s a surprisingly even match it really feels like something that could go either way.

Like I said, Bee is the LITERAL SIN OF GLUTTONY.

But Aziraphale is kind of unhinged? I do actually think he has a shot?

OH MY GOSH WAIT THIS IS HILARIOUS TO THINK ABOUT-

I feel like Beez would try soso hard to win but eventually would give up like "Gabe, I tried, but he's just a fuckin' beazzt-" and Aziraphale would win 💀 but what do you think?? XD

[sparrowsortadrawzzz]

Okay I’m on another thought train and you are the designated person to travel with me on these trips. So. Consider. Reverse omens, right? Classic. Sometimes it’s all the angels and demons flipped, sometimes it’s just the husbands. But consider. Reverse omens but ONLY ineffable bureaucracy gets switched. If anything I think this has the possibility to be the MOST interesting variation of this au because, like, if only Aziraphale and Crowley are switched it changes some things but they’re like…middle to upper-middle class in terms of ranking? Not much about the structure of how things work in heaven and hell changes. Everyone gets switched? More variation but arguably too many moving parts and characters to keep track of. Just Beelzebub and Gabriel (or as Beez would probably called according to our headcanons Zuriel. And …whatever Gabriel is called in this. Any thoughts?) get switched? Throws the whole system into chaos! Like here’s how I see it. Season 1 Gabriel was a total asshole. No doubts about it. Heaven was institutionally fucked up and half of it was probably his fault. Beelzebub though? I’ve always had more of an impression that hell was bad because it’s, y’know, hell. Not that Beelzebub themself was an awful boss. Like aside from killing Eric that one time and yelling a bunch they actually seem like a pretty fair boss. Just evil because that’s their job. So like in this universe hell would be like…infinitely worse. But heaven? I feel like it would actually be substantially less fucked up with Beelzebub calling the shots. The other archangels and the metatitty would likely still cause problems as always but I genuinely don’t think it would be as bad. Crowley likely has a bunch of trauma now so oops but like Aziraphales boss is pretty chill so he likely isn’t as messed up as usual. They probably do still have that firm belief in Armageddon and all that but there probably less “we’ll kill you if you don’t go along with this. pick a side Aziraphale” about it and more “Look man I’ve been ignoring you and my brothe- (yes I’m bringing ssiblingzz shit into this. You probably know my brainrot well enough by now to have guessed I would.) Crowley’s shit for millennia I can’t do that any more. It’s time to fight. Please stop being stubborn I don’t wanna have kill you you’re the only bitch I respect up here.” (Beelzebub has always seemed more aware of Aziraphale and Crowley’s situation than Gabe so I kind of think in this situation they’d actually be the type to turn a blind eye to it?)

I do have more thoughts but I need to make food so enjoy this for now and share any of your ideas. I’ll probably be back soon with more.

OOOOOH WAIT YOUVE GOT A POINT THERE- I think Gabe would be some demon like perhaps Camio (from googling, he seems to be "Demon of persuassion and communication", which seems very up his alley, and his Wikipedia article mentioned him being leader of a bunch of demons, so it makes sense-), and he'd treat Hastur, Shax, and Ligur like he treats Uriel, Michael, and Sandalphon. Beez would for sure be dry, and tired, but I think ze'd be a pretty good boss too- the other Archangels may treat zir with an actual respect! ze might also give Aziraphale some slack for interacting with Crowley, since a) it's zir brother, and b) ze might understand how he feels 👀 Demon!Gabe (Cammy?) tho, he'd smell more of plastic-promises, be more manipulative and conniving, and maybe even be more in his element, cuz being a demon doesn't take a "I'm smart and mighty, follow me" mentality, it takes an obey-or-die mentality. I mean, "t-o-s-t...e. TOAST!!" put great emphasis on that ADHFH- (also him possibly being considered as Lucifer's brother? and fellow starmaker with Angel!Crowley?? SO MANY ANGST OPPORTUNITIES-) however, he would probably be extra with keeping track of the intentions of Crowley's miracles, and yeahh poor Crowbro may be kinda frucked up even more-

I think once he sees how Zuriel actually cares about him and sees him as someone other than a big scary demon, as an actual friend and companion who understands him, he puts down his guard and fight-or-flight, and changes for the better with zir. (maybe he didn't particularly enjoy having to manipulate and scare others into doing what he'd been ordered to do, but had to in order to survive? or maybe he and his possible brother team up and are conniving little shits, whatever you think is best ^^)

THANK YOU FOR SHARING ALL OF THIS WITH ME I LOVE YOUR HEADCANONS ADN STUFF SO MUCHVAHFJDHG

[ho-ho-homosxual]

✨Yippee!!✨

I’ve brushed my teeth and flossed at least once a day for the past six days!!

[ask-emoripals]

Also sorry to do so many asks but you can call the ship "Fairy Floss" maybe?

Because Fairy Floss is another name for Cotton Candy and fairies are kinda associated with plants and whatnot?

(Idk sorry for so many asks I'm just unreasonably pumped)

Az: Yippee great idea! Fairy floss makes so much sense, and it’s a cute name too! Also don’t apologize at all, it’s okay. Really, it’s on me for not having the energy to answer some asks sometimes.

[sparrowsortadrawzzz]

do you ever think that Crowley must be really salty that BEELZEBUB got namedropped in a god-damn queen song? Like. Damn. Imagine your favourite band (that you’re friends with because I absolutely love the ‘Crowley and Freddie Mercury were besties’ thing) needs to name drop a demon in their song and they don’t choose you.

thats so funny to think about actually- cuz like. poor Crowley, your boss/possible sibling got put in a song from your bestie's band 😭 but also, it's kinda like if you complained about your life, including your sibling, to your friend, and then they wrote a song including your sib's name 💀

what if Ozzy Osbourne namedropped him in Mr Crowley to make him feel better! they could have been drinking buddies!

[sappymix1]

I'm waiting on pain meds for my arm! And then I will go to walgreens bc my floss ran out and also to the grocery store :3 I'm being productive today and I'm happy about it :)

aah thank you 😭 omg i hope your arm feels better soon?? but also yippee for being productive :3

Why Do Cowboys Say “Yee-Haw?”

There Are Several Vocal Cues Riders Use To Spur Their Horses Into Action—And “Yee-Haw” Is Not Usually One of Them.

— By Sam Hindman | April 10, 2025

When you think of a Stereotypical Cowboy, there are a couple of images that’ll likely come to mind: A horse, some cows, and a comically large hat, to name a few. Now, picture that cowboy gearing up to gallop off into the sunset—you can practically hear him bellowing a hearty yee-haw as he swirls his lasso in the air.

Even though it’s a Classic Cowboy Trope, you have to wonder: Did Cowboys Actually Say That Popular Phrase?

The Origins of Yee-Haw

Did Cowboys Actually Say Yee-Haw?

The Origins of Yee-Haw

The New Oxford American Dictionary defines Yee-Haw as “An Expression of Enthusiasm, Typically Associated with Cowboys or Rural Inhabitants of the Southern U.S.” But how did it get there?

A Cowboy and His Horse, Circa the 1880s. | Buyenlarge/GettyImages

Some Folks trace Yee-Haw back to old horse commands, specifically Gee (“Go Right”) and Haw (“Go Left”). These were common calls for guiding oxen and horses, and they’ve been used as far back as the 1800s. Over time, those directional commands may have morphed into More Expressive Yells, Like Gee-Haw, and eventually Yee-Haw.

By the early 1900s, yee-haw (and other exuberant exclamations like Yippee or Yahoo) was cropping up in literature and everyday speech, especially in Western-themed books and films. The media loved it, and it stuck around for quite some time. But as it turns out, the phrase was more common in pop culture than it was out in the plains.

Did Cowboys Actually Say Yee-Haw?

The Image of a Cowboy Yelling Yee-Haw was more of a Hollywood Trope than a Historical Truth. Real-life Cowboys, especially those from the late-1800s cattle drive era, were far more likely to say things like Whoa, Git Along, or Come By.

It’s also important to note that a huge portion of the cowboy workforce wasn’t white. Up to one in three cowboys was Black, Mexican, or Indigenous—all groups whose expressions and languages were rarely represented in Old Western Films. Many spoke Spanish or were influenced by Mexican Vaqueros and used terms like Arriba, Vámonos, or Dale.

Despite its theatricality, yee-haw endures. You probably won’t find any Modern Equestrians saying it (just like you Won’t Hear Giddy-up Around Most Barns, either). But you will hear Yee-Haw in All Sorts of Spirited Situations, from Little Kids on a Park Carousel to Instagram Cowgirls Posing in Pink Fringe and Snakeskin Boots. It’s been memed, reclaimed, and reimagined. Sometimes, a good old-fashioned yee-haw just hits the spot, cowboy or not.

“...Your vords have already gutted me, tonight.”

“I Know I’m No Good…

 “...But I At Least Thought…”

They all joined in at once.

“...That You Were.”

The bassist’s face grew bruised in tone as he tried to talk aloud. He shrieked out in pain as air entered his lungs again, as clotting blood was forced through his veins by means of a tainted heart.

“ YOU WANT A TRAITOR, I’LL GIVE YOU A FUCKING TRAITOR!

“ THERE IS NOTHING LEFT THAT IS WORTH IT!”

Will had enough strength to writhe and kick, causing the candle-drippers to stumble and let their sticks fall onto the fur Murder laid on.

“THIS WORLD DESERVES TO BURN!

“I WILL DESTROY THIS PLACE WITH MY OWN BARE HANDS,

“…AND I WILL PROVE YOU WRONG!”

TRAITOR! 

TRAITOR! TRAITOR!

 TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR!

TOO LATE! TOO LATE!  WAKE UP! 

TOO LATE!  WAKE UP! WAKE UP!

beep. beep. beep. beep. beep.

Flying up into a sitting position, Nathan discovered he was in a medical wing. A Mordhaus medical wing. His face was plastered in fruit stickers on one side - Toki’s work - while the band and Edgar Jomfru sat patiently.

“ Nathans !” Skwisgaar cried. He started to act strange - standing up from his chair, immediately approaching Explosion and using his fingers to comb through his crunchy sea-salted hair. 

“I hord thats star hiss likes a poorly pluggeds guitar.. ughh-huh… and I stoods there frozens as an ice-clickle...as you… as you zapped to nothings! Ams diskusted with myselfs…”

Where was his guitar? The blonde grew more emotional, switching to Swedish as he wept. 

Abigail was also there, putting her hands around one of Nathan’s. Edgar was excited to see him wake, asking him questions that Nathan was too out of it to answer.

He noticed Pickles was sitting in a chair at the wing, talking to a doctor. His mouth looked like a near-successful play on a Clown Tooth Knock-Out carnival game.

“Well, the swelling is down, but looking at the x-rays and the state of your molars, I’m afraid we’ll have to take all of your teeth out, sir.”

“Gad, really?”

“Heh. No . We’ll get you all fixed up like it never happened. But I do want you to floss more.”

“I mean, I want to be taller, but that’s not happening.”

While they continued to talk, Murderface sat silently with the gang. Nathan’s face perked up when Will noticed his eyes on him.

He wasn’t really there.

I tried to warn you...

You were in there for far too long, sport. 

Woke up too quick…

The bends of the brain, I call it.

Your mind is drowning. 

“Nat’n! You’re up! Hey, dood!”

“Look at that, yippee!”

“...Hah, uh. Does he normally look at people like that when he wakes up ?”

“Aagh, dood, sorry. Dentists make him nervous.

“ Nat’n? You doin’ okay? ”

“...Nat’n?”

A Choir of Stitches

Part 1: A Rose Woven by Thorns

Clementine woke up with a start, the early sky echoed through the quiet home as birds singing a serene melody. She went down the stairs, a tiny creek slightly being heard through the empty halls with Clementine preparing her breakfast, dried tomatoes in oily pasta. She ate her meal as the clock struck, it was 6:00 AM. As she started packing her bags, the morning sun had shown its face while the wind sung to her ears, the trees swaying to the eerie melody. She packed her bags and prepared for the train. Her bag was as big as her, it was filled with things like crochet hooks, embroidery floss, needles, and some food to keep her going for a long trip.

CLEMENTINE: Ah, nothing better than breakfast in the morning. Well, best be off!

Clementine said to her empty home before she traveled along the fields, the wind still blowing on her hair. As she walked across her small town of Needlethread in the early morning, the temperature was cold. The tips of branches started to frost as the leaves turned brown and orange as they fell to the ground, almost succumbing into dust. It felt nice as the sparrows and swallows chattered on and on, the leaves rustling against each other.

Her train arrived, its loud whistle chiming through deaf ears. The townspeople were still asleep as Clementine rode the empty train, hollow of the people talking about their mediocre days, gossiping about whatever was conspiring in the next towns over, Clementine was disappointed, this ride was going to be a lonely one after all. She looked at the orange swaying leaves, the autumn flowers showing their bright colors and petals as if displays of beauty stored in each plant for Clementine, she gazed at them with curious eyes. As the train ran through the rusty, old tracks, Clementine had no choice but to explore the car.

Clementine looked across the fresh windows starting to frost, the white flakes of ice are on time, the last breath of autumn welcomes the cold, then the cold melts into the warm embrace of spring as it is burned away by summer. She found a bed to sleep in, the festive red and green plaid blanket, striking her eyes out of all the warm and dark shades of brown with gold details, she put down her bag, lay on the bed, and she stared at the unfamiliar ceiling.

Hours pass, her eyes shut… the train doors open.

Suddenly, a crowd settled into the train, hundreds- no, thousands of people fill every seat, the train almost looking like a walking concert for hours to pass, she woke with a jolt, the warm feeling of giggles and chatter fill her ears as she sat up, a smile gracing her face. She happily entered the crowd of chatter with her own stories, pleasing everyone around her as she told the horrors of summer to the children resting comfily in their thick quilts, crochet hooks synchronizing to the floss, loop after loop. They heartily laughed as this society of people from every corner of the earth conjoined like threads making one big ball of yarn. As hours passed by, the rising sun has reached it's very top, perfect noon. The chatter has subsided like the wind's whistle getting ever more silent, the birds singing their ballads and laments, the cliffside the train was approaching gave its passengers a breeze that smelled of persimmons and cinnamon.
