AU where Crowley lied and said to God that the suggestion box was also Aziraphale’s idea.

They lied bc they genuinely thought that if they said that someone else had the same idea, it’d add weigh to their suggestion…

God knew it was a lie but just so Crowley could be devoured by guilt forever, She banished them both.

After that, Crowley undoubtedly felt so guilty toward Azazel (the demon name Aziraphale choose for himself) they decided to protect him the best they could from both Hell and Heaven.

Azazel never knew about Crowley’s lie. He just thought he had made a shtty job working on humans and thus got banished.

He is visually impaired, since he’s linked to the proteus salamander. And grew a moustache that actually helps him feel and “see” his surrounding!

And as the usual, these two have a hard time building a healthy relationship. Azazel is very much opened about his love for Crowley, mainly because he doesn’t fear Heaven anymore. But Crowley is still feeling very guilty, so they try to act distant. (but it’s so hard, they constantly fail)

Olm (Proteus anguinus), family Proteidae, far NW Italy

This aquatic salamander is neotenic/paedomorphic (retaining juvenile traits - ie. gills and other aquatic adaptations)

Found only in karst rock cave systems with ample water in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia Hercegovina, and far NW Italy.

Also called the "human fish", proteus, and white cave salamander.

Olms are blind, but have excellent sense of smell and hearing (for a salamander).

Here's the full suite of Hellfire Gala variant covers unveiled today, April 19th. I'd say the fashion designs are, on the whole, improved from last year, but they're also less fantastical and more geared towards dressed-up interpretations of existing costumes than the first Gala.

Bound for all eternity ✨

I fell in love with "Sinbad Legend of the Seven Seas" when I was a child and I still have so much love for this movie and the trio's dynamics, so here is a lil' tribute to them!

Very famous pose ref is here

Paradigm Shift

My contribution to the Slice of Cybertron zine. I couldn't decide which pre-war favs I desired to draw the most so I came up with an excuse to include all of them.

This is a redraw of an image I made in 2018 if I remember correctly, also there isn't enough Proteus art. As a curiosity, the crystals on the side of the couch where he is sitting are made of Pyrite, a mineral that is also called "fool's gold" and of relatively low value but very malleable.

Animal of the Day!

Olm (Proteus anguinus)

Photo from All That’s Interesting)

Conservation Status- Vulnerable

Habitat- Southern Europe

Size (Weight/Length)- 30 cm

Diet- Snails; Crustaceans; Insect larvae

Cool Facts- It’s unlikely that you’ll ever see an olm in the wild, let alone in captivity. Originally thought to be baby dragons when first discovered in 1689, the olm is perfectly adapted for life underground. Olms are found in expansive, wet caves. While you might think that a completely blind salamander wouldn’t survive, the olm is a prolific hunter, being able to both hear and smell underwater, it will eat anything it can get its mouth around. Olms don’t mature until almost 14 years old and it is believed that some can live as long as humans. These salamanders can survive up to ten years without food, going into a type of deep sleep. Being extremely vulnerable to change and only breeding every 12 years, conservationists are hard at work protecting olms from climate change and pollution of their cave systems.

Rating- 13/10 (No shoes, no shirt, no eyes, service please.)
