I recently saw a group of people in the GO fandom who couldn't wrap their heads around how David Tennant sits, while I could only think that I sit exactly the same way in fact, in that moment I was sitting the same way as that image

So I present unto you, the guide to bisexual sitting by @bugbugboy and David Tennant

Thank you for your time :)

Dragon Age AU!!

Qunari saarebas Aziraphale and Dalish Rogue turned Crow (no pun intended) Crowley

[one-time-i-dreamt]

Crowley and Aziraphale from Good Omens had a really gorgeous Minecraft world with a big mine and a little beach house. :)

Ok but why are half the canon asexual characters all in Netflix? Like do other platforms and tv channels know about asexuality?!?

OMG

I’m not an artist, or I’d do it myself… but has anyone created art of Crowley as Flaming June, by Frederic Leighton. It’s a really famous work, and between Crowley’s red hair and unlikely sprawl, I feel certain that this needs to happen.

[dora-papp]

Crazy June ahead:

- Fénytörés reprint, finally back in bookstores

- the birthday of three of my novels

- an event at a library

- book signing in Budapest during Book Week

- Budapest Pride

- EU elections

A busy month for me every year. Let's roll!

Chapters: 7/7

Summary:

Once, Aziraphale, Crowley, and Crowley's sentient snake tattoo made a game of exchanging tiny kisses. After their holy water argument, and their reunion at the church, the game becomes all too real. With their lives more intertwined than ever, can they find a balance between safety and expressing what they feel for each other?

A year and a half later, it’s the sequel to Temporary Tattoo that nobody asked for!

St Dunstan-in-the-East and 1941/1967

Diving back into Tumblr with this one. Haven't written meta musing in years, here we go. All photos & gifs are not mine, but used for help illustrating my thoughts.

I've been fascinated diving into the possibility of hidden details surrounding the bombed church in 1941. Neil Gaiman confirmed that he had St Dunstan-in-the-East in mind for it, while Douglas Mackinnon explained why it doesn't quite match up visually.

Here's the thing.. there's an odd coincidence with the Good Omens timeline further along once we establish St Dunstan's as the setting.

We also can't talk about this without mentioning the eagle lectern standing at the end of the hall in Crowley's apartment throughout Season 1.

The same one that survived the bombing of the church in 1941. Neil states that Crowley bought it from the people who demolished the church. Despite how minimalist Crowley keeps his apartment, he kept a souvenir of probably one of the most important nights in their history we've seen so far, and the only flashback that appears in both seasons.

This is where things start to unintentionally (or maybe intentionally, who knows) start to align.

The history of St Dunstan's has a second specific year that coincides with another critical point on the Good Omens timeline.

From Wikipedia - "In the re-organisation of the Anglican Church in London following the War it was decided not to rebuild St Dunstan's, and in 1967 the City of London Corporation decided to turn the ruins of the church into a public garden, which opened in 1971."

The church sat destroyed for 26 years, until 1967 when suddenly the city decided to .. change it into a garden. A garden built on the ashes of holy ground. The same year this scene plays out.

But I want to go back to St Dunstan's in 1941 first, because some of the parallels of what happened during the flashback compared to what happened with Eden deserve some attention too. The Angel of the Eastern gate in a church bearing a direct reference to the eastern direction. A situation where Aziraphale has weaponized a temptation - offering knowledge in the form of prophecies to a set of humans, as a set up for them to fail and be caught by the authorities. Just as Crowley hinted about Adam and Eve were likely set up to fail by God by the too-obvious placement of the tree. The Snake of Eden himself, present in both situations. He's warning/tempting the Nazis to flee the church, due to his interference in where the bombs would land that night, a similarity to how Adam & Eve fled Eden due to the chain of events he set in motion by tempting Eve. He even takes the time to discuss 'getting into trouble' and introducing his newest name to Aziraphale, just like they did on Eden's walls. And just like Eden, Crowley relies on Aziraphale to shelter him once the skies start to fall.

This time though, a garden springs from the ruins of a holy ground he helped to tear down. A garden created & enjoyed by all humanity.

Phew. Back to 1967.

With these matching timelines.. Did Aziraphale's gesture in handing over the holy water + indicating a picnic or lunch at the Ritz was more his speed cause Crowley to get sentimental over their past? Did he influence the city into doing something with the church's grounds as an unspoken thank you to Aziraphale, also gaining himself access to the lectern to buy & take home? He waited 26 years before buying that lectern, so why did it suddenly matter to him in 1967? He could have gone and stolen it whenever he wanted prior to then.

Or did Crowley make the first move here? Did he influence the city government into doing something first with St Dunstan's as an unspoken attempt to reach out? Which caught Aziraphale's attention, reminding him of Crowley's comments about holy water and causing him to look further just what he was up to at this time?

If there's one thing that strikes me during the car conversation, is that it feels like something broke again between these two between 1941 and 1967. They aren't acting like they are in the same headspace or relationship development that they were when we last saw them, drinking wine and agreeing on shades of gray in 1941 part 2. (Enter my thoughts that there's a third act to 1941 in season 3, as evidenced by Aziraphale's mention of a yet-unseen apology dance). Either one of them instigating a reach out after a period of silence via an act of service feels on brand, similar to Crowley's breaking of their 80-year silence by showing up to rescue Aziraphale in the first place in 1941.

Or it's simply digging in too deep on what is probably an occam's razor - Crowley took advantage of the city's renovation to buy the lectern for himself, without any additional motivations or reasons. It's just a coincidence that it matches up to 1967.

Any which way you look at it, Crowley getting the lectern, the church being transformed into a public garden, and Aziraphale's Holy Water all happen around the same time, thanks to the confirmation about the church's identity as St Dunstan-in-the-east. (Which is a lovely place, I visited it earlier this year, definitely recommend if you are looking for Good Omens-inspired locals).

i need to rewatch the entirety of Good Omens S1 to confirm it but. did. did Crowley have unique time control powers and we just collectively never talked about it and never examined the potential implications

[icantalk710]

Just got back from helping to light on fire thousands of corporate/real estate/Republican dollars spent propping up a moderate Democrat against a socialist pushing universal rent control, universal healthcare in NY, building public renewables and tackling the climate crisis, and more, and boy are my everythings tired

WHAT IF crowleys MOM NEVER DIED?

WHAT A LOADED GUN QUESTION!! Crowley wonders about it a lot you know. Some nights spent staring at the unresponsive ceiling, sprawled out fully, alone in the bed he shares with the people he's committed his life to. He asks himself what would be different if they'd both survived the attack. If the rubble fell in a better way that wouldn't have brutally, but swiftly ended her life. There's no world where this doesn't happen. He wasn't planning on taking on the entry exams to join the League of Heroes. The lil birdy already started looking into colleges for after he'd graduate from high school (which he was on the fast track to doing rather early anyways...) He'd have gone for a robotic engineering degree, like actually getting that certificate under his belt and maybe a minor in musical theater... But that doesn't happen here. They don't get best case scenario. It's unrealistic. He'd be mutilated still. She, June, his mother, would have probably sustained injuries too because how could you not in a bombing incident of a building, you know? But it wouldn't have been as scarring. He would've gotten to apologize to her for not being faster to make sure his ma got out. She would have said it wasn't his fault. She'd promise to find whoever dun hurt her baby bird and put all six of her bullets between their eyes. They'd heal together and they'd have gotten back to their feet eventually. Crowley would've still gone down the hero path. There's no doubt that seeing other families getting messed up over a villain attack would have left marks to drive him to try to help people... But there'd be no twisted, complex grief and anger from his father, Buzzard, over the death of his beloved wife. He'd be harsh in his training, but not in the delusional sense where it more so became a way to vet out his frustration and rage at the situation on his literal teenage son boy. Maybe they would've even had a relationship that wouldn't need salvaging or cutting off.

And once he started his work, his drive wouldn't be obsessive. It'd be genuine, but not built on delusional sense of justice or twisted self-punishment to thrive in his career Or Else. He wouldn't feel like it's repentance for being a victim when he should've been a hero during a time where he shouldn't have even been in a situation like he was. Although Coyote June was definitely a villainess, she'd still tell her baby bird how proud she was. She'd say it to all her youngin's! Jr. would never have to wonder what it's like to have a mom either.

And!! He'd get to introduce his first and second loves to his parents, both hands clasping his future spouses. Crowley's always wondered what she'd think of them. There's no doubt she'd have loved to meet the two of them. Unsurprisingly Mack's a bit of a fan of her villain work (And wow she knew HIS moms too??? They lost touch years ago but they could reconnect??? Country women up to absolutely no good. Gotta love it!) For sure June would've liked Rachael too. Could appreciate a hard workin', morally grey gal like her that has the patience for her lil fruitcake of a son. Frankly, she'd learn that they're BOTH villains and crack up eerily similarly to how Crowley does, elbowing her husband and saying that Crowley's following EXACTLY in the family footsteps, to which the older hero would roll his eyes and act like it wasn't as amusing as she'd say it was. Crow would still snicker though.

In true motherly fashion, too, she'd arrive unannounced to Crowley's house, always when he seems to be the busiest with his projects, complaining that he never calls and squeezing him until he complains too much (even though he'd be secretly happy she stopped by. He's bad about calling other people sometimes, even family members).

That was... A lot of words to say he'd be... He'd be happier. There wouldn't be swirling questions of what if in his head. He wouldn't have had nearly the harsh awakening into rocketing into adulthood that he went through. He wouldn't have to wonder what she'd think or do or anything of the sort. The despair, the guilt, the needing to break out of perpetual cycles of beaten in insanity over a tragedy wouldn't exist in the first place. Crowley would still be Crowley but not... Not as heavy. Not with as much to keep away from everyone else.

There wouldn't be another ghost fluttering in the mansion, who's wooden floors still hold the memories of the sixth generation of blood spilled there.
