I wouldn't say it better, thank you I'm going to be sentimental. Thanks to everyone from the kindest fandom I ever be part of, you're making amazing job.
When I read fanfiction or look at art, I fall in love again and again in so so many ways with them. Every. Damn. Time.
I've seen lots of fans remark on how wonderful it is that the Good Omens fandom leaves space for such diverse interpretations of the characters and story. So many of us find different ways to see ourselves in Aziraphale and Crowley, whether that's our identities or experiences or interests...
But for me this goes beyond just having space for different fans' preferences. What amazes me about this fandom is that I adore and resonate with so many seemingly conflicting interpretations of Aziraphale and Crowley's story, and I think lots of others do too. I'll read a fic in which they've been together romantically for 6000 years and it makes as much sense to me as one in which they get together after thwarting the apocalypse, and of course I'll love a queer platonic take on their relationship just as much. I read fics in which they are asexual and I'm like "yeah, exactly!" on the same day that I'll savor a tender and sexy PWP fic. I've read and seen them portrayed as every experience of gender identity and been like "yup, that's them (and I see myself in that too)". I've read different takes on how they experience human mental health or neurodiversity and they all resonate. I've read fics where Aziraphale's kisses burn like holy water and I'm thinking, "of course that is what would happen"; fics where angel kisses turn to freckles ("obviously"); then I'll read a different interpretation where kisses are just soft and human and that makes perfect sense too.
What's amazing about this experience is that I don't recall feeling this way about previous fandoms and ships. With other ships I tended to have a singular narrative in my head about "how it would be", and beyond AUs I felt like the fandom kind of did too. Maybe that's because I'm older now, but I don't think it's just my age... this fandom is fundamentally queerer and more pluralistic.
The way that the Good Omens fandom invites us all to hold multiple different headcanons and interpretations without them feeling "conflicting" is amazing. It's a beautiful expression of plurality, empathy, and fluidity that itself reflects a rather queer and feminist way of seeing the world. And that's lovely. What if we saw more of the real world that way, with room for gray area and nuance? Letting two conflicting things be true at once, just like Crowley and Aziraphale integrate darkness/light? Like them, we're conditioned to think about binary options and "two sides". Like them, we can inspire each other to see life more fluidly than that, while also taking a firm stand for something we believe in.
Folks, we are getting a slightly (no fuck Sherlock) heated there. Smutty smutty chapter 8 is waiting on AO3 and you need to read this. You need. You REALLY do. This is my far more boldly drawing I ever did, but I don’t regret anything! I have a great time to work on this particular piece and this amazing fic would be updated much sooner, because elf wrote it ages ago and I read it that day and did a sketch, but you know, sometimes stuffs happen.
The rest of pict you can find in fic (no nudes, I promise), though everybody knows this was going to happen I don't want to take all the fun of reading ♡
THAT was a delight.
Thank you for breathing a new life into that old picture ♥️
Soft angel and even softier demon. My fellow followers, I beg you, go an read it. It will make your day lighter, as did mine.
NEW FIC UP ON AO3!!!
This is actually inspired by a beautiful piece of fanart by @siskey
Just borrowed ipad, working on a new thing and waiting for a new episode.
I miss drawing. Hopefully I’m back.
that’s why I love this fandom so much. we are coping in mysterious ways, constantly miserable or high on silly shoemaker/starmaker as fuck ♥️
I love good omens fandom posts atm because 50% of posts are like “Oh you thought you were finally over the ending? WELL THINK ABOUT THIS-“, 40% are just gif of the kiss with a caption like “They both loved each other so much they forgot to ask how the other wanted to be loved” or something like that and the other 10% is just Bildad the Shuhite
July is almost over and I feel quite guilty for making such a messy and quick sketch of Crowley. So, there is new version with his beloved and the most terrified plants in London. (I am not sure if it is any better or not)
My holidays officially started today (yay!) and I got up without an alarm clock instead of someone particular. I know how hard it is, but you can do it! Wake up Crowley and go to hug your husband.
HEY! Look look I am here too 😊 *patting my own shoulder*
A snippet of my very little baby comic for this amazing zine! There are so so so many gorgeous and lovely works, trust me.
What could Crowley be reminiscencing when looking at the postcard? This incredible art is provided by @siskey in collaboration of @elfontheshelves who provided the postcard’s text !
These yellow eyes will hunt me for a days.
I haven't read it yet, but I can say it would be the great manifest of two amazing creators. I am on my way babe.
Chapter two of @naromoreau and stevie's Noir au is up!
I've done 4 pieces for this one, the other three are embedded in the fic. Mind the tags.
I almost discorporate! Holy sunset, it marvelous piece of beautiful idiots 🙏
@idonotknowhowtonamemyblog send me a photo of a beautiful sunset and kindly let me incorporate it into this piece!
This Crowley-staring-into-stars-on-his-ship-called-Bentley idea was haunting me for last days.
He's a pirate, a very bad pirate, who saves drowning kids and falling angels from the sea. And his stars will always lead him on the sail.
(Anathema included, because she is a witch AND pirate girl and nobody can change my mind)
(what does the wheel look like omg)
Hello people!there are my works I don't write (even if I really really really want, I could break my both arms and nothing would come up), but I do art, mostly Good Omens fanart and studies.my sideblog with Good Omens content https://www.tumblr.com/siskeyblog
