LOOK AT HIMMMMM
no shred of dignity left
I’m choking
I’m dying at Aziraphale frantically lowering the blinds in the background 😂😂
This clip is gold! The jump scare reaction. The frantic blinds. The increasingly freaked out “I don’t know”s! It’s exactly what I love about these two. ❤️
How I imagine Crowley moving into the bookshop going:
Crowley: See, the thing is, I’d been sort of just miracling the management to believe I’d been paying rent. But then I was asleep for so long the miracle must have worn off so now they’ve evicted me.
Aziraphale: And… you couldn’t just perform another miracle to convince them to let you stay?
Crowley: Well… It just… It seemed like a lot of trouble… When I could just bring my stuff over here… Since, Y’know, we’re on our own side now?
Aziraphale: . . .
Crowley: Unless I’m too much trouble for you, of course.
Aziraphale: Crowley, you are, by the definition of the word, trouble.
Crowley, crestfallen: Yeah, right. I’ll just… I’m sure it’s not too late to get my flat back.
Aziraphale: Honestly, Crowley. *hauls the confused demon inside, plants and all.*
I honestly suspect it will be something very similar to this 😂
Drew a little demonic fennec fox, for twtr follower milestone event and to Change the Vibe in here 😂
+ also changed the pinned post - apparently it wasn't shortened for many people and that made it hard for them to navigate my blog : (
The “have you been drinking” absolutely takes this from funny to brilliant! 😂
Hi Neil
I was just wondering how many things in the new poster are to big hints for the second season ? What should we look out for ? Very excited for July 28th !!! 🐍😈
All of them.
Cue the fandom wide game of I-Spy!
Do It With Style Events is proud to announce our latest Good Omens Fandom event: Extraordinary Amounts of Cake!
We all love indulging in our favorite flavors of fanworks. Meet cutes! Hurt comfort! Only one bed! No matter how many times we see them, we’re coming back for MORE CAKE!
In this event, creators will be given a “recipe” of tropes to build into a Good Omens fanfic, fanart, or other work. Interpret yours however you like! We want to see your take on the idea, as unique or traditional as you wish. At least one person will have exactly the same recipe, but that’s ok—more cake for everyone!
Signs ups are from April 25th to May 5th. Tropes are handed out on May 10th, and posting starts June 11th. Follow the link below to sign up and submit your favorite tropes!

Interested, but not sure you have time to participate? We’re also looking for betas to help brainstorm, edit, or just cheerlead our creators! Join us on the DIWS server!
Wake up, Good Omens fandom! We're doing something special!
May 10 is both what is often cited as the date the book published (in 1990) and it's the day St Dunstan in the East Church (Neil's inspiration for the scene) would've matched up with the episode 3 Blitz scene (1941).
Bring on your fan works set between '41 and '90!
New or already shared fan works alike, they cover nearly 50 years of Crowley and Aziraphale knowing the other would absolutely, without a doubt save them. That's 50 years of "you can't deny this feeling".
40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. There's so much you can do with those eras, for Aziraphale and Crowley, other angels and demons, and even many of the humans! Especially in bookverse.
Or do something AU and toss canon to the wind!
(I personally love that 1967, another Hard Times cold open scene year, is when London decided to turn the remains of the Blitz scene church INTO A GARDEN. Crowley definitely had something to do with that.)
You can use the tag for any Good Omens celebrations you have on May 10 but especially for showing those fan works set between 1941 (the Blitz scene!) and 1990 (when the book came out!)
AND HEY!
ANY HELP getting the word out is super. I am but a small fan with an even smaller reach. I want anyone who wants to participate to have a chance to hear about it! Thanks SO SO MUCH!
And speaking of thanks: THANK YOU @flantasticclaude for your enthusiasm for this sudden fandom event, and stepping in to make the above wonderful, rainbow-filled graphic to get the word out.🌈😇😈
Let's all have an amazing fandom celebration on May 10!
I got contacted by the person who I thought was posting my fics at Archive.org. They were cordial and apologized, and we talked. First, they thought I had been the one to post my fanfics on Archive.org, and they were just linking to it because of that. Second, it’s now clear that they weren’t the one who did repost my fic. So I’m publicly apologizing to them (probably best not to post their name again) here for that – especially since that person has apparently been hit with some harassment because of it. I always feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but I’m old and keep forgetting that the internet has lost its gotdamn mind in the past few years, so: DON’T HARASS PEOPLE. JFC. I’m pissed off about this, too, but this person isn’t the one who put my fic up on another site – and even the one who did it doesn’t deserve death threats. Because that’s happening. But I should’ve expected that people would do this, and I didn’t because I was so freaked out and angry, so, sorry again. I’ve apologized to this person privately as well.
And to be clear, I’m well aware that some people want their work saved at Archive.org, and that a lot of fanfics get archived there – but I thought this was by the author’s choice. AO3 has two features that I (apparently mistakenly) thought would keep my fics from getting snapped by Archive.org: a little toggle in the preferences screen that allows readers to “Hide my work from search engines/indexing,” and the “Show works to AO3 users only” toggle in individual fic preferences. I’ve always had the former checked, but I’ve only occasionally locked my fics to the latter. I now know you need to do both to keep Archive.org trawlers off your fic.
I’m still thinking about creating a Discord for my fic instead. Probably won’t because I don’t really like Discord, but if I can’t keep my fic under my control on AO3 then I’ll need to do something else.
(For those who do not understand this, no, not all writers are grateful to have control of our work snatched out of our hands. Remember AO3 was created by and for writers who didn’t like our stuff being deleted or censored against our will… so I think it’s understandable that a lot of us would also not want our work copied or archived against our will, either. These are times when fic writers are getting shredded on Tiktok for likes, and our labors of love are training chatbots to make a profit. Being able to control our own work is pretty much the only defensive weapon we have.)
So again, to keep Archive.org trawlers off your fic (if that’s how it’s ended up there), you need to check the “Only Show Your Work To Registered Users” box in the post form, or the mass-editing form. If you find your work on Archive.org, you can (email link) request that it be taken down. Since I have hundreds of fics posted and only two seem to have ended up at Archive.org, I think some individual manually put those two there to preserve them, instead of just saving them to a private file or storage like most people do – but Archive.org is public, so doing this to a fic author without asking means taking their work from a nice protective, “domesticated” site like AO3 and releasing it into the wild, without warning. If the person who put up my fics is reading this… yeah, don’t do that. If people want their works archived in perpetuity, let them orphan them or put the fics up on Archive.org themselves.
If the person who got called out for this is reading it, I would like to apologize in part too for my comment reacting to it. My words against you personally were harsh and written in the heat of a full on panic. I stand by my assertion that people should not submit author’s works to other websites or archives without their permission because, as stated above the limited control over our work AO3 affords us is the only bit of defense we as fanfic authors have and the idea of having the ability to distance ourselves from a work of needed being taken away was alarming and hurtful to me, however I should not have made it personal.
As a future note to anybody, please ask your fanfic authors before you archive or repost their work. Sharing active links or downloading your own copies is one thing but please try to let us maintain control of our work. Some of us may end up with need to orphan it or distance ourselves for personal reasons. Thanks.
Hello Mr Gaiman, I was wondering, since Aziraphale in the show, and Crowley in the book were able to bring that poor dove back to life, can they also resurrect humans? Is that something they can do but don't because Heaven and Hell would definitely notice? Are there rules for these things on both sides? Are there rules for healing people as well?
It would take a lot more power than either Crowley or Aziraphale have demonstrated so far to bring a person back from the dead. I don't think there are rules, but I don't think they could do it. It weighs, metaphorically, more than they could lift.
Very interesting to know. Apparently their power does have limits (we do know Aziraphale can heal people though since I’m pretty sure he patches Anathema up when Crowley hits her with the Bentley)
yes, but what if they were cats? Good omens was always one of my favs and the TV adaptation was amazing, I can’t wait for the second season of both Good Omens and the Sandman, and now I need to draw all three of them as cats aaaaah
Aww! I love that they still have their bow tie and sunglasses ❤️
We know, we're excited too! But in order to keep track of the 800+ auction offers in our inbox, we need to initiate contact with bidders ourselves.
Furthermore, because it's important to us to ensure that our eventual donation totals are sound, we need to confirm every donation before the bidder can begin working with their creator(s).
please wait until you get an email from us!
The moment you've been waiting for has finally arrived - we've processed all the signups, posted and tagged all the auction posts, made all the edits creators have contacted us about, and run all the scripts to open the bidding forms, which means...
Bidding closes at 8:00pm EST on Sunday, March 5. Any bid that registers on the bid sheet with a timestamp after 8:00:05pm (or before 8:00:00am this morning) will not be counted.
If you subscribe to a bidding spreadsheet, remember that it may take a few minutes for it to notify you of a new bid, so don't rely on it in the last moments of the auction.
If you win your auction, we will require proof of your donation to one of the listed nonprofits by 8pm on Sunday, March 12 (a week after auctions close) or your auction may be passed on to the second bidder.
Good luck!
Bidding officially opens on our auctions at 8:00AM EST tomorrow, March 1, and runs until 8:00PM EST Sunday, March 5!
Please remember that we run scripts that go through and open/close all of our 800+ bidding forms, and that this process can take several minutes. We may start opening forms before 8am because of this, and many forms will close after 8pm - but bids that register on the bid sheet earlier than 8:00:00AM tomorrow or after 8:00:05PM on Sunday will not be counted. If the auction you're interested in isn't open right at 8am, check back in a few minutes!
While you're waiting, read over our bidding policies to make sure you know what's what (especially if you plan to put together a group bid!), and take a look at the Craft Bazaar - we've added several more stalls since it opened Sunday night!
This will sound confrontational but its a genuine question, I promise. Why is it ‘embarrassing’ to wonder about the sex lives of these characters? GO is not a childrens book or show as far as i know, the characters are not underage, unable to consent, related, cheating, canonically asexual or any other thing that would make them having sex even remotely reprehensible or anything like that. They literally get called husbands every single day on this app and im sure you’re well aware people are very much writing about them having sex constantly so I’m just wondering. Is it just the word choice? If someone had asked when az and crowley ‘made tender consensual love’ instead, would there be less actual harrassment in their inbox right now? Or is it just very bad and wrong to discuss gay sex… ok maybe it is confrontational after all. oops
I think you might have misread or misconstrued what I wrote, when I said "I feel a bit embarrassed for the people sending them when they come through, but nothing more than that". My embarrassment is over what people think is appropriate to send as messages to the author, not over whatever they want to speculate about. They have the whole of Tumblr, not to mention AO3, to ponder, imagine and discuss anything they like about any and all things in the stories, including sex, gay and straight. But sending stuff like that to me is just inappropriate... it's like watching someone turn up to a school meeting drunk, or watching someone trying to tell dirty jokes to an audience that wishes they'd stop. I'm the wrong audience, and it makes me embarrassed on their behalf.
Every now and again, in the Asks, someone will write apologizing for something they sent in years before, which they've now realized was inappropriate -- or which they always knew was inappropriate and they've grown enough as people to apologize. And enough of those messages have come in over the years that I'm never upset at receiving inappropriate asks. Just embarrassed for the people sending them, and hoping they don't beat themselves up too badly when they figure out, as many of them seem to eventually, that perhaps that wasn't a very sensible thing to do.
Oh f**k this ask!!! You knew damn well what he meant. Don’t try to be cute!
Remember, bidding doesn’t start until 8am EST on Wednesday, March 1, but we know that bidders appreciate having a few days to scope things out ahead of time.
So we’re pleased to announce that this year’s browsing period is officially open:
If you’re looking for a specific fandom or type of fanwork, or even one creator in particular, your best bet is our extensive tags page - and be sure to check out this post to learn how to get the most out of Dreamwidth’s tagging system. (We sometimes get people wondering why we host the auction on DW instead of Tumblr or another site - their excellent tagging system is one big reason!)
Be aware that we are still tweaking things as creators let us know where there might be mistakes in their posts or just things they’ve decided they want to change. Creators cannot change their auction posts once bidding has started, so be sure to reread the auctions you want before you bid just to be sure nothing changed between now and Wednesday!
If you have questions or see problems for us to fix, the best way to contact us is always via email to fandomtrumpshate at gmail.com.
Have fun browsing!
Browsing for the auction is open!
Does it make you sad at all there are already so many spoilers for season 2 of Good Omens? Do you wish we would stop asking for more?
It doesn't make me sad. But it baffles me that people are still convinced that if they ask I will answer.
