ARE YOU A TECHNOPATH? Take the test!

For my GOOD OMENS dystopian cyberpunk AU fic.

Could you be a technopath? Personally, I am a level 1: 4/6 and at least a level 2: 4/5, as well as a level 3: 2/5 so... (humblebrag) I am actually on the spectrum.

SOMEONE MADE THIS

CROWLEY’S LAMENT!!!

At long last, it’s here! My eight minute Good Omens-inspired rock opera/character study Crowley’s Lament is out TODAY. This has been such a labor of love for the better part of a year, and I am unbelievably proud to finally present it to all of you. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll headbang. You’ll squeal. I hope you enjoy my music, lyrics, and Walmart David Tennant voice. To the World, everyone!!!

Special thanks to @holmee for the GORGEOUS thumbnail art- I asked for Crowley dramatically sprawled out on a piano and she couldn’t have possibly delivered finer results.

This is the best illustration I've ever seen of my fic (which I must assume it was intended for)

Day 257 of posting Good Omens memes Everyday until Season 3

[tismrot]

Aziraphale and Crowley are NOT talking. But what if they’re sending each other passive aggressive/sad/angrily flirty memes via their celestial iPhones? Could be a thing.

MY 1991 FIC IS BEING PRINTED & BOUND

@amagnificentobsession liked it so much they want to... BIND IT, I can't believe it, it's such an honor. (No, not making any money from this.) I started writing it six months ago, and finished it in early March, I think... And as (before this) I hadn't written anything worth mentioning since, what, 2011, I couldn't let it be printed before I went through it first. And boy, there were a LOT of embarrassing mistakes and errors and grammatical knots that I hope I've managed to untangle without rewriting the whole thing. Link to the revised, edited, BETTER version HERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH, @amagnificentobsession, you're one of the reasons this fandom is starting to feel like family <3

You mean like AO3

So Fox News ran a story about how they think libraries are turning into drug-infested sex dens and I am shocked, shocked that I was never offered any drugs during my 15+ years working in libraries.

LOOK AWAY

Nothing to see here, just need to post something for use in my Good Omens cyberpunk AU fic on AO3.

Just punk Crowley's (21 years old, university student wearing very tight clothes) tattoo design, I'm certain none of you would be into any of that. TW: Yes, all of them. I can't be bothered anymore, just assume it's there.

GOOD OMENS, a cyberpunk human AU - (LINK)

What if 80s aesthetic + hot, young bois meeting at dystopian university? What if future? What if politically controversial and TW: cybertrauma?

Also, what if crêpes and ox ribs and Columbian snow, class war and Manna from Heaven?

“But tismrot,” you might say. “How would Crowley and Aziraphale’s likenesses even fit into a setting like that?”

“Watch me cook,” I’d answer. “Give it one chapter.”

———

About the TW, what I mean by “assume it’s there”, is that whatever humans can experience in a dystopian world, that’s what you should expect. If you have very specific phobias or triggers, feel free to PM me - several readers have already done so, and I don’t mind! Specifying the TWs before each chapter would spoil the story, so I opted for a general warning.

Both have the wine cork. BOTH. I'm certain something happened after they opened that bottle. 120% certain. And I bet it was in 1941.

analyzing some images (for fun)

so i found this pair of promotion images for good omens season 1 on the good omens reference library server and it’s hooked me so so bad im having feelings about it. we’re analyzing them now. not really for meta purposes just fun to see the parallels and differences :)

everything under the cut !

unique traits

aziraphale:

1) his plank background. its older, its crisp, it smells like wood from the screen. mmmm

2) the pencil shavings at the bottom. he does a lot of writing honestly, so i like this. also adds a messy and cozy vibe he always seems to have in that shop…. i like that blessed shop fr

3) his SUSHI. little soy sauce drops near it too—just the right amount of deliberate mess. our first formal introduction to aziraphale in the present day and beginning the Tomfoolery just happens to have sushi... i watch that scene and i go “yeah, that sums up aziraphale i suppose” very nicely. (they dont have sushi Up There) (im literally never gonna forget that)

4) the ray of light shining on the scene. tiny thing, but a bit of the heaven is peeking through..it also sort of blurs the whole image but i think thats just me.

5) and we’ve saved the best for last: the big whopper. the nice and accurate prophecies of agnes nutter, witch. I LOVE THAT BOOK!!!!!!! i cant remember if that ring stain was there but if it isnt in the show on the actual book i’d assume thats to add that ‘thy cocoa doth grow cold’ thing. ALSO. you know what’s being used as a bookmark in the pages?? a check for the ritz. he bookmarked their one chance for living . with a ritz check . MMMMMM. my GOD. that means so much to me even if i cant convey it in words. he KEEPS THE CHECKS 😭😭😭😭😭😭

crowley:

1) let me get my favorite out of the way. crowley’s glasses have fire in their reflection. we’ll talk about the glasses themselves later but the REFLECTION IN THEM. fucking FIRE, BOOKSHOP fire, PAIN, SRIVING THROUGH THE M-25, HELL, I DONT KNOWIM HAVING FEELINGS!!! i do believe this is a bookshop fire reference though, the flames feel too Familiar. the lengths people will go to to attack others 🤧

2) the leather seat background!!!!!!! probably meant to look similar to the bentley’s seats but i cant recall their texture, exactly. maybe just meant to convey modernness—unsure. still, its there <3

3) the tiny little crisp plant </3 its trying his damned best to stay perfect. it might a specific plant that means something, but i cant tell at thsi angle, so i’ll assume its a mini version of the ficus he keeps in the flat. its so SMALL and sitting in ANOTHER POT i CANT

4) the snake slithering!! black and red (in this image it looks orange lol) bellied scales!!!! slithering there, chilling, being crowley, showing hints. love it

5) QUEEN RECORD!!!!! TRYING TO OVERRIDE IT WITH TCHAIKOVSKY!!!!!! the tape over it does a reminisence to crowley’s handwriting, but in a clean ‘this made made to be a font’ way. not exactly just yet. ive become a fan of tchaikovsky recently. amazing darling wonderful crowley, trying to push the rock up the hill for eternity 😞

6) HIS LITTLE DEMON KEY THING. HOLDING A TINY LITTLE BENTLEY CAR KEY OHHH. thats how he doesnt lose the tiny key despite probably not needing one of those. and he CHOSE that intentionally probably. little wings and red circle….URGHHHHHHH

similarities

mmmmm now here’s the good shit. similarities! i’ll bullet point most of them but ohhhhh. ohhhh these. i’ll go from top to bottom as best i can….

1) one of their shoes, obviously. crowley has them iconic snakeskin shoes while aziraphale has his old loafers like the old loafer he is /pos

2) chateauneuf de pape wine bottle labels! (crowley’s is under his glasses, aziraphale’s is next to his shoe). oh my fucking god theyre MATCHING. the labels are old, battered, of course labeling the drink’s age, but mmmmm its these tiny details that get me going….

3) their respective drinks in their mugs—crowley’s a black mug coffee (or what looks to be coffee) and aziraphale’s angel mug tea (or what looks to be tea). i think about that mug sometimes. where did he get that from?? mystery for the ages….

4) their glasses, of course. crowley’s iconic sunglasses and aziraphale’s reading spectacles. i cant really tell the reflections in this pair, but if its supposed to be fucking fire, im done with this. im giving up forever

5) their own watches! aziraphale’s is visibily older while crowley’s is visibly modern, but they function just the same. also, crowley’s is set to 2:56:59 (presumably PM), which is around the time we see when crowley starts checking his watch at warlock’s birthday party. its almost time for disaster to strike!! 😃

6) and finally….their ties!! they have their own ties!!! or more accurately, neck accessories, but i digress. i mesn i assume its crowley’s neck tie, because the fabric looks… different. either way, crowley’s neck thingie is very whispy and aziraphale has his funky little bowtie i love so much,,,

okay thats it. there’s no canonical implications, any fantheories, none of the sort. just saw a pair of images and my mind went GOD DAMN!!!!!! theyre very important to me. i need to look at more promo material 😔

Good Omens cyberpunk AU: I’m writing my dystopian, very political smutfic about young Crowley and young Ezra meeting in the ecofascist city-state of ha-Gan post-ecological collapse.

I’m not posting it on AO3, at least not yet. Mainly because it has some very controversial elements - but rest assured, I am in contract with people from the relevant cultures/groups, who I trust will help me get everything right. I aim not to offend anyone - first and foremost, I wish to entertain, and if I can make you think while you cry and laugh, I might have done something right.

If you’re a thick-skinned individual who won’t accuse me of having opinions or motivations I absolutely do not have, feel free to send me a PM, and I might just give you the link to the Google doc.
