Hey!! Sorry for the bother, but @/pheon1xr0se a mutual of mine and super talented fic writer for our ineffable community has been dealing with sickness, and her and her family are at risk of losing their home. I’m reaching out to a few larger go names in the fandom to see if it’d be possible to spread her fundraising link and raise some awareness?? Much love 🫶🫶🫶🫶

i’ve been writing this fic since january and i’m only 50 pages in it’s constantly on my mind which is insane bc im pretty sure my good omens hyperfixation ended a couple weeks ago (i still love it, the obsession has just gone away)
this stupid fic is never not on my mind but i can’t get myself to write it im in the depths of hell rn
every time i think i’ve escaped this video i find it on another platform someone help
(this is beautifully done i’m in love w it and also devastated)
Forgot to post here haha
Wizzle wazzle walorist, I have now turned him into a florist
(I might make an Aziraphale)
Hello Neil,
in S2 we see Crowley in the bookshop throwing books mindlessly away when something gets his attention. Even thou it is so Crowley it leaves me shocked each time he does it (I'm a bookseller).
Are those real books? What would Aziraphale say if he ever finds out?
Hope you don't mind me asking. -Shen.
While those were real books, they were also highly trained stunt books, and they had rehearsed the bit where David Tennant threw them down, so none of them were hurt.
oh my god i finally thought of a vampire au that i'm completely unhinged for. i am about to be so insufferable about this
vampire aziraphale x vampire hunter crowley. and no, neither of them realise they're hereditary enemies when they hook up. they're dorks and idiots your honour.
I know we all think Aziraphale is gonna come back from heaven dearly missing wine and food and good music but I think he's gonna come back and immediately crawl under a blanket because he is severely overstimulated by the fucking Big Light energy in heaven.
Those fluorescent overhead lights and the sheer brightness of this place absolutely do not mesh with the autisms, I mean look at his bookshop!! Dim and muted. Poor thing
I have a question about writing, because you are my favourite fic writer and you write so well.
-How do I write emotions well? I’ve always struggled with that, for some reason. How do I explain how a person is feeling? Should I write loads of it or just explain it short?
Sorry if this is a weird question, genuinely struggling out here 😰😰
AHH thank you dear, but not weird at all! this is one of those highly subjective things can be really hard to nail down with simple rules in a classroom, hence difficult to learn.
i'm a bit of a fluffy writer, so i rely on Show Don't Tell to demonstrate emotions. but i am constantly reminding myself of this post to not go overboard with it. breaking down the sensory cocktail of an emotion is great for emphasis, but would get exhausting if you did it every time. it's okay to write "he was scared."
now, in this case, the "show" of an emotion would be how it physically makes you feel (warm or cold, stomach butterflies, aching, floating), how you express it externally (narrowed eyes, tense shoulders, clenched jaw, parted lips), and what it makes you do (avert eye contact, reach out, fiddle and fidget, move around a room).
examples from And They Were Streamers!
"aziraphale was touched" (meeting a fan) vs: how it makes him feel
Aziraphale’s chest blossomed with a shy, giddy warmth, just like the twinkling of nerves he felt before his first ever stream.
"crowley was agitated" vs: how he expresses it externally
Crowley sat there, breathing heavily with his eyes flickering over the chat window on his third monitor.
"aziraphale was nervous" vs: what it makes him do
Aziraphale returned his hand to hover somewhere around his waistline, where it toyed with the hem of his jacket and longed for a glass to cling to.
i refer to breath, eyes, shoulders, mouths, and fingers a lot. they're very expressive body parts and you feel a lot within them when struck with intense emotion.
if you're dead inside like me (thanks T), it can be helpful to practise mindfulness when looking for sensory inspiration. if you can't remember what it feels like to be overcome with jealousy, pay attention to all five of your senses and imagine what the character might be feeling for each of those.
he’s such an asshole
- I thought you hated it here. - I do. Mostly.
repressed aziraphale i love your fail life
Silly
