to add to the 'Aziraphale has a beard for a work event' but he literally never says that's his wife, he just says that's his partner (because, she is. she is a business partner! she helps him run the social media of his restoration gig or whatever) and keeps insisting that he doesn't want to get married, she keeps referring to aziraphale by his full name and when she sees crowley she is absolutely DELIGHTED !!! she also starts flirting with him and to everyone on the outside it's like: OHHH!!! THEY'RE POLYAMOROUS!!!!!! to crowley it's like: oh im so screwed meanwhile aziraphale is like: STOP I DONT KNOW IF HE'S STRAIGHT OR NOT PLEASE meanwhile this partner is like: he may enjoy women but i think he might enjoy you a 300% more babes. (advocating for ms sandwich as the beard/hj)
OHHOH LET ME CLARIFY
aziraphale's beard is. his actual wife. they are married, but they are both gay: he is equally her skirt. if anything, it's more for her than it is for him.
so when he rocks up to the work event with his wife, that's his actual fuckin wife who he is married to, who he holds hands with and looks INCREDIBLY SHEEPISH to introduce crowley to, because he has such fun at work with him and hadn't really thought this far ahead, honestly hadn't even realised crowley was going to be at the event. and he's a bit devastated because now crowley's going to think he isn't interested in him, but it was absolutely just as real for him as it was for crowley, but how the hell is he supposed to explain that ahhh yes i'm married technically but it's quite alright, i assure you! we can totally keep flirting and maybe see where this thing goes, just ignore her and errr maybe keep your voice down--
My friend asked me if she could commission a quick drawing of her and her boyfriend as Rats In Love for their anniversary and when i tell you i've never run to my tablet pen faster

Rat Cadash is a smug bastard and unfortunate leader of the inquisition. Ends up with Blackwall, and in the end they're both better for it. Ex-Enforcer and bodyguard for the Carta, they miss their friends and the inherent pride they felt at being the best at their job, but what can ya do?
IMAGINE LIKE. THE POSSIBILITIES. Chat makes him sing a song bc someone donated a very nice amount so he does a little “thank you *name* for this weirdly nice donation” tiny sing song and it’s actually good??? So people try to get Crowley to sing more idk-
HMMM DOES HE?? i try picturing him singing and all i can hear is the apology song SO–
honestly somethin about crowley screams Bad Singer to me. but in a really wonderful, uniquely appealing way. hear me out:
we know he's got this vivid imagination, so i feel like anything he's creatively good at would be in a unique, creative, unorthodox way. like, as an artist, he wouldn't be a realistic renaissance painter, but a push-the-bounds cubist or abstractionist. in architecture, we think of him as brutalist, rather than something with a classic appeal like baroque or even standard minimalism. he's not appealing. but he's revolutionary.
so, with music, he wouldn't sound pretty, can't sing a smooth run or even have an impressive range. but he would have lungs for days and you'd know his voice instantly. i'm talkin cage the elephant, alt j, the vaccines, fucking menomena quality. he doesn't sound pretty but he sounds otherworldly, and he can't sing you to sleep but he'd change whatever genre he tipped his toe in forever.
SOOOO yeah. i think he'd have a shit voice. and it would fucking rock
