questions and statements are very welcome :D

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements

I wanna talk about The Angel Who Would Be Crowley.

Because I had a certain set of expectations, which got thoroughly trashed in the first five minutes of S2, and my genuine response is, "Oh, fuck, yup. You're right. That's WAY better."

Looking around at GO fandom, I'm not alone in this. So let's talk about it.

Basically, a lot of people (myself included) believed that he was a high-ranking angel, and therefore as chilly and remote as every other powerful angel we'd seen at that point. We pictured Crowley-To-Be as long-haired, regal and imposing --and the fanart at the time reflected this. I'd link some if Tumblr didn't hate links.

Something like this:

We were collectively drawing on a few things --mostly, Crawly's appearance and general bearing in the Biblical scenes of S1--

--But also scattered hints of his importance, backed up by conspicuous absences in Heaven and a few profound displays of power. That's all better covered elsewhere, so I won't reiterate the arguments here. All I'm saying is: I think our headcanons were justified.

But it turns out he was this:

!!!

With his curly little--!!

And his neat white--!!

IT TURNS OUT, he was an angel who squeaked and squealed when he was happy; who flailed his arms around and made explosion noises with his mouth to explain nebulas; who preened when told his stars were pretty. Furfur, who knew him before the Fall, says:

"You used to jump on me back, little monkey in a waistcoat..."

(The use of a diminutive there, 'little'...oh, that fascinates me.)

In a pretty huge subversion of expectations, we're given these glimpses of an angel who was sweet, and joyful, and heart-meltingly silly.

In sum...an innocent.

(Perhaps innocent to a troubling degree.

We see how he troubles Aziraphale, during their first conversation. He starts looking around and behind them, checking to make sure that no one can HEAR the blithe and reckless things coming out of this angel's mouth. This angel who talks like he's never been reprimanded in his life; like it's never occurred to him that anyone would want to hurt him.

Before the Beginning, Aziraphale understood Heaven better than he did. The danger is plainly occurring to Aziraphale.)

So now, we the viewers are in on a cruel joke that Aziraphale has known all along, which is that this --THIS-- is the angel who--

*checks notes*

--did a million lightyear freestyle dive into a boiling pool of sulphur. For asking questions.

...Imagine you are Aziraphale, and everything inside you wants to believe Heaven are the Good Guys, and God is Good and Everything She does is capital-R Right...and now try to reconcile that. Keep trying. I don't think he ever totally managed it in 6000 years.

All this gets further complicated when we learn that, despite all of the above, we were still right. That sweet excitable babby up there?

He WAS a powerful and high-ranking angel.

That much is explicitly confirmed, with significant evidence that he could have been among the mightiest of archangels...

...Who apparently accosted his fellow angels for piggyback rides. And was remembered millennia later by those (now fallen) angels as something 'little.'

What does that tell us about who he was? Is?

Hell, Aziraphale has known to be wary of the archangels (and the judgements of Heaven in general) since before the Fall even happened. He chooses to believe they are Good; he can't fool himself into thinking they are Safe.

Yet he's absolutely certain that Crowley won't hurt Job's children. Enough to stand in a burning building and say to them, "I can't save you, but don't be afraid. I won't need to."

And what reason does he give?

("I know you."

"You do not know me."

"I know the angel you were.")

What does that tell us about who he was? Is?

("The angel you knew is not me."

But how is Aziraphale supposed to believe that, when he can see him all the time?)

tl;dr --yes, this is better. I love the tragedy of it.

'Innocence died screaming' and all that.

Good Omens heacannons: GIFTS EDITION

Crowley likes to give Aziraphale things from nature, mainly flowers and occasionally one of his houseplants (he claims that the bookshop had more sun for the plants, or that the flowers were given to him by his neighbour and he was going to throw them out) (Aziraphale knows the truth, though)

Aziraphale tends to lean towards more man-made gifts, especially sweet treats that he buys or even makes himself - after all, it was Crowley who first introduced him to food, so isn't it fitting that Aziraphale gives him something similar)

both of them love music, and will often dig up records and CDs of songs that they think the other will enjoy

they don't really announce those type of gifts, but Crowley will place a record (not bebop) in Aziraphale's gramophone/record player thingy, and Aziraphale will pop a new CD into the Bentley stereo

it makes them both so happy, doing these little things for each other, and they both blush adorably when receiving the same love and attention back <3

Bentley headcannons: PART 2 BABYYYY

Crowley brought her from new in 1934

this also happened to be the year where driving tests were made mandatory in England

Crowley was so mad that in protest he brought the Bentley and proceeded to drive her at increasingly high speeds around central London

he still hasn't gotten a proper drivers licence to this day (don't tell Aziraphale that though)

Although Crowley has only put petrol in her once, after hearing the saying 'you wouldn't put a soft drink into a car and expect it to run' (this was meant to encourage people to drink more water, though, really, cars can't run on water either...)

Crowley decided to pour 2 whole litres of diet coke into the Bentley and see what happened (he survived for over 5 miles on sheer power of will)

There's always a book in the glove compartment just in case Aziraphale gets bored

currently, it's The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde, but before that it used to be Pride and Prejudice (Crowley read the first couple of chapters of that one and pretended to annoyed by it, but a few days later Aziraphale saw him sneaking back into the car to keep reading it)

He fell asleep in the Bentley once, and when he woke up he realized she had shifted his seat back so he wouldn't get a cramped neck from sitting upright all night <3

awwwwww thank you for tagging me! I haven't been on here for long but yall have been so nice :D

@the-ineffable-parker @snek-of-eden @poirolivia @froggy-having-a-crisis @starks-kid

@literally everyone who's liked/reblogged one of my posts, it makes me so happy!

 A friend threatened me to repost so I will!

Basically, there r tons of fake asses on tumblr who just want comments and followers, so someone started this to see who's actually a good friend. Everyone I tag better repost (and tag other people and preferably threaten them in a creative way as well) bc I'm high on caffeine and newfound lesbianism and will resort to violence.

@ey-theys-was-coronas

@fangirlhehe

I would tag more people but they're the only ones I've really interacted with-

Anyway if you see this you have to reblog and tag with a delight from ur day -- even the littlest thing counts

just reading this hurts

I HAD A DREAM THE GOOD OMENS FINALE CAME OUT AND IT WAS SO BAD AND I HONESTLY WOKE UP IN ACTUAL DISTRESS

SNEK HATS

this has probably been done before BUT Aziraphale makes these little snake hats for Crowley

you know the ones...

THIS !

“I did the ‘I was wrong’ dance in 1650, in 1793, 1941…”

Even More Good Omens Headcannons:

so we know that Hell has a photo of Crowley and Aziraphale shaking hands in 1941, which they attempted to threaten them with

BUT hear me out:

Beelzebub had known Crowley was 'fraternising' with an angel since Rome...

they didn't usually make time to visit Earth, but that Archangel Gabriel was sent down to observe some human thing or another, and really, they couldn't let an agent of heaven have the run of the place, could they?

and while they were there, totally not spying on the Archangel's activities in fly form, they happened to see the demon Crowley speaking with the angel of the eastern gate, Azifela or whatever his name was

they brushed it aside though, confident that it was just another one of Crowley's elaborate temptation plans (several of which Beelzebub had been forced to sit through tedious presentations of)

They thought nothing of it, until a couple of centuries later, when Beelzebub had just popped over to France to watch the revolution play out (well, to watch the guillotine play out - they didn't much care about sides as long the decapitating got done)

and, of course, sensing an angelic presence in the Bastille, they had to check it out (because what if it was Gabriel??)

...

It turned out to be that Aziraphale fellow, who had somehow gotten himself all tied up in a revolution that had absolutely nothing to do with him at all, and Crowley was there with him! And they were b a n t e r i n g

like they were friends or something

which was ridiculous - an angel and a demon couldn't be friends, no matter how hard they tried

and say what you will about Beelzebub, but they're a demon with professional standards, so they snapped a picture of the pair having crepes together (crepes? really) (side note: cameras were definitely invented during the french revolution no need to look it up no really don't google it)

so, yes, over the centuries, Beelzebub had collected enough evidence of Crowley and Aziraphale's...friendship, arrangement, whatever you wanted to call it, to make sure the both of them were sufficiently...dealt with by their respective head offices

but something stopped them from turning in the photographs

maybe it was the spread of compassion they still had buried deep, deep down within their demonic heart

or maybe it was the fact, the feeling, that if Aziraphale and Crowley could do it, become friends against all odds, maybe Gabriel and Beelzebub had a better chance then they thought

The TARDIS rooms headcannons: DOCTOR EDITION

c h a o s

in the best way possible, of course

there are at least 10 different unfinished tinkering projects scattered around the room at all times

whenever the doctor swears he's going to finish one, he gets an idea for another (me with fic writing fr)

he has a desk in the corner, which is mostly covered in notepaper with a mix of English and circular Gallifreyan scrawled across them

and we're pretty sure that's a bed under all that paper

but at this point who knows? Does the doctor even sleep? (he does, just not in his bedroom...or, you know, a bed)

the door to the room changed depending on the preferences of the doctor occupying it

10's door had about 20 different 'gadgets' glued onto it, while 12's was made of deep mahogany panels and what was probably once a bright brass doorknob (it hasn't been polished in 604 years)

although the various companions can enter the doctor's room at any time, the TARDIS tends to steer them away from it whenever he needs to be alone

but when she thinks that the doctor could stand to gain from actually talking about his feelings for once, companions may find themselves turning a corner and suddenly becoming face-to-face with his door

practically the only clean surface in his room is a set of shelves lined with trinkets and souvenirs that remind his of each of his companions

a preserved rose for Rose Tyler, a bead from one of Clara Oswald's dresses, a framed paper snowflake for Ruby Sunday, and a blank page that some of the companions suspect is from River Song's diary (it is)

pinned onto the wall next to the shelves are a collection of polaroids, one of every person that's ever travelled in the TARDIS

Donna's one has both her and the doctor laughing together (or possibly at each other), and Yaz's one is blushing furiously next to an equally red 13, and Wilfred's one is just him beaming at the camera

the doctor likes to pretend he's not sentimental, but we all know the truth <3

no but like this gives me an idea™

Me, feral and foaming at the mouth as security hauls me off the Doctor Who set: "YOU LEECHES!!! YOU CAN'T KEEP THE WARDROBE ROOM FROM US FOREVER COWARDS!!!! SHOW US THE COMPANION ROOMS! WE WANT TO SEE BELINDA'S ROOM, RUBY'S ROOM, EVEN THAT ONE ROOM THAT'S JUST A VOID WITH A CHAIR IN IT! YOU CAN'T KEEP THE TARDIS'S OTHER ROOMS FROM US FOREVER! WE HAVE RIGHTS!!!" (bites a guard and vanishes in a puff of chronon particles)

good omens headcannon: THE BENTLEY EDITION

and yes, I've fully committed to the Bentley being a sentient entity

we all know this car is Aziracrow's child a (they have a custody agreement)

Crowley gets worried that the Bentley loves Aziraphale more than him (Aziraphale will neither confirm nor deny) so sometimes he'll randomly treat the her to of those really fancy deep cleans where they get all shiny and nice

he calls it her 'spa day'

although the Bentley loves Queen, she has recently taken a liking to Hozier as well

one time when Crowley was brooding during a drive she played From Eden and made him cry

she made sure she had tissues always stocked in the glove box from then on

The Bentley has a secret playlist she plays whenever Aziraphale and Crowley are driving together

it's called "dads <3"

the very last song on it is A Nightingale Sang in Barkley Square

Beelzebub's fly hears the drama

Week 87 of posting Good Omens memes for Everyday until Season 3

yesssss this is GORGEOUS

some of the most slay victorian aziracrow combos i can imagine. the wives walk into a party together in these fits and the room goes silent for a sec. bc they're slaying so hard

me, shivering under 3 blankets on my bed in the middle of winter: sUnSHinE? wHeRe? whErE iS tHe sUNshiNE?

god i love being able to do work from my laptop on a bench in the sunshine with an iced vanilla latte by my side

These are amazing, thank you! I love the idea that she pretends not to care that much but secretly remembers the things the other ghosts like - that's so cute :D

okay, I have like a single headcannon that's been bouncing around my brain for ages: (this revolves around Isaac and Hetty because they're DEAREST FRIENDS and I love them <3)

When Hetty first died, she was used to having at least some control over the people around her, so she struggled a lot with the other ghosts not listening to her

one night she stormed out of the living (heh) room after an argument with some of the others and shut herself in one of the bedrooms. Only Isaac went up to find her

hesitantly, he told her that the men under his command never used to listen to him that much either

The two sat together for a bit, staring at the sunset, which soon became the start of a 130 year friendship

hiiiiii :D

I'm not up to date on ghosts yet but literally every episode makes me love Hetty even more so I was wondering if you have any favourite Hetty fanart/memes/headcannons/basically anything that you wanted to talk about

Hetty is like a meme farm for reaction memes. The whole show kind of is!

Headcanons I have:

- there's a room in the house that most don't know about, where Hetty goes to get away. The older ghosts know because they watched the house being built, but they pretend they dont know for her benefit.

- I find it fascinating that Hetty claiming power over the ghosts because "it's her house" isn't a running joke. Her character seems like she would be that way. Because of this i assume she USED to be that way. I imagine the ghosts had to work through this with her, pressing on the fact that they've been on the land for generations before she was even born until she gave up.

- as she has experienced growth she has become more interested in the modern world, asking the ghosts more questions about their lives and cultural changes.

- she is really good at remembering facts about people and insists she does it to manipulate but she actually does care.

I had more and I'm sure I'll think of them as soon as I hit post. Do you have any? @all-the-hyper-fixations

I just realized something:

OKAY so in one of my headcannons I mentioned how Aziraphale and Crowley danced in the rain together...

Crowley: "A sudden rainstorm forces them beneath a canopy - they look into each others eyes and realize they were made for each other."

Aziraphale: "People would gather and do some formal dancing and then realize they had misunderstood each other and were actually deeply in love."

dancing in the rain is literally both of their ideas of falling in love combined T_T

omg this is adorable THANK YOU

Hi :D

kinda random ask but: your username is 'stoat on toast'...could you draw a stoat on toast? bonus points if it's cute and bonus bonus points if drawing it makes you happy :)

two sleepy boys

(it did :))

ooooooh I love this concept

Headcannon:

Tolkien describes many of the elves in LOTR as ‘beautiful and perilous’ or some other combination to the same effect. What if Elves created uncanny valley effects towards the other races of Middle-earth?

The elves keep a little too still.

They blink, but hardly enough to be ‘normal’.

Their skin is a little too perfect.

Elves’ grace feels more predatory.

They can be completely silent.

In conclusion, give me more unsettling Tolkien elves. Please, fanfic writers I beg you.

If I get too close, and I'm not how you hoped, forgive my northern attitude, oh I was raised out in the cold...and if the sun don't rise, 'til the summertime, forgive my northern attitude, oh I was raised on little light (Northern Attitude)

I wouldn't know where to start, sweet music playing in the dark, be still my foolish heart, don't ruin this on me (Almost)

In some sad way I already know...I will not ask you where you came from, I could not ask and neither would you...honey, just put your sweet lips on my lips, we could just kiss like real people do. (like real people do)

T_T

Thinking about doing an ineffables meme series but including Hozier lyrics. Y’know, for funsies.

headcannon time:

the whole time Aziraphale was pretending to be the gardener for Warlock's family Crowley was just...fixing the plants for him

like I love Aziraphale dearly but that angel cannot garden

everything is either over-watered or as dry as a literal desert

Crowley is fighting for both their jobs over here

he's just running around on his breaks trying desperately to keep the plants alive without Aziraphale or the Dowling's noticing

because he would never let his angel realise he's killing the plants

facts

even more Aziracrow headcannons

on some (very rare) nights in the bookshop, one of the two puts on a record they brought from Maggie and they dance in the candlelight for hours

although Crowley will forever claim to be a Queen fan first and foremost, both the angel and the demon have a soft spot for old-timey music (especially the songs with a waltz-like beat)

they spend the first few times just learning how to slow-dance (Aziraphale knows the Gavotte and Crowley...we don't talk about Crowley's...dancing...and dancing is a very generous term to describe what he does)

learning to dance goes just about as well as you would expect, but after many a trodden-on foot, the two get there

one very embarrassing time, Nina walked in on the pair in the middle of a slow-dance (Crowley's head was resting on Aziraphale's, and Aziraphale's arm was around Crowley's waist) Nina and Maggie wouldn't stop gushing about how cute they were afterwards

one time on a particularly stormy afternoon the streets outside the bookshop were deserted

well, almost deserted...

if you were looking closely, you might just catch a glimpse of a tall redhead with the brightest yellow eyes you've ever seen dancing slowly with a shorter blonde wearing an alarming amount of tartan, both of whom were staring at the other with the most adoring smile you've seen in a long time

HIII i love your blog lol!

awwww thank you! I love your profile pic the duck is adorable :D

we are among you

reblog if you wear glasses. too many mutuals don't know they have glasses wearers in their midsts

ask game!! 15 and 36?

Thank you for the asks :D

15: last thing I ate was some of my brother's Easter bunny (he shall never know)

36: Do I paint my nails? Yessss normally they're black and pink (the only two colours I have lol)

good omens: WEDDING EDITION (part 1)

yeah that's right; below is my idea for the perfect Aziracrow wedding <3

they argue for ages about the venue until they see a news article saying that South Downs in England has officially re-introduced native nightingales into the area

and I mean, after seeing that, could they get married anywhere else?

Crowley in a dress.

a beautiful black lacy dress, complete with tall silver heels (not that he needs the extra height)

Aziraphale has a tartan bowtie, of course

they're both wearing a green carnation pinned to their lapels (Aziraphale got the idea from his dear friend Oscar)

when Aziraphale goes to walk down the aisle, time almost seems to slow down (and maybe it does; who knows?)

he's almost glowing a soft golden colour from the sheer joy

he gives the impression of a sunrise - warm, peaceful, and filled with hope for the coming day

Crowley, on the other hand, looks like a sunset

bold, elegant, and strong, never quiet the same from day to day, but with a hint of pink some nights, splashes of purples and blues on others - the kind of breathtaking view that makes you stop and watch for a while

standing together, they look like they were made for each (which, of course, they were)

not night and day, exactly, nor twilight and dusk, but the gorgeous bursts of colour that paint the earth's skies to celebrate the dawn of a new time and the completion of a finished one

even Gabriel and Beelzebub (who weren't on the list but showed up anyway) had to admit that they looked lovely

behind the archway is a delicate, shining stain glass window that depicts (in the most accurate detail you will ever find) the garden of Eden

if you look very closely, you might spot a couple of black scales amongst the branches of an apple tree, or a gleaming white feather or two

the archway that the couple is standing under is decorated with roses, some of which are colours that any gardening enthusiasts attending are pretty sure don't exist, or at least, haven't been discovered yet

on the left side the roses are a gorgeous, glossy black

on the right side, the roses are a fluffy, sun-catching white

as the roses get closer to the middle of the archway, they form a gradient, from black and white to a very light and a very dark grey

and right in the middle, hanging above the pair when they kiss, the roses are almost the colour of stars on a clear night

I love these so much !!!

The 14th Doctor's Adventures

So, it's time for a little theory that may spiral into its own AO3 fic. My theory on what 14 uses his TARDIS for in his own time. Like 15 suggested, he uses it for therapy. 14 chooses his solo travel, not for adventure but for closure.

His first stop is to his oldest friend. He takes the TARDIS back to 2011, wearing a perception filter so he isn't mistaken for 10. And 14 attends the funeral of Brigadier, Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. He stands in the back, out of sight. He mourns and grieves, letting himself stop and feel. He pays his respects to The Brig and says goodbye, promising to watch over his family. Then he catches sight of Sarah Jane and knows his next stop, another old friend.

He takes the TARDIS forward from 2011 to 2017, from one funeral to another. Still wearing the perception filter, 14 stands on a nearby hill, watching and hearing the funeral of Sarah Jane Smith. And like his old friend Jo Grant said, it breaks both his hearts. 14 leaves a TARDIS key and a version of his sonic screwdriver on Sarah Jane's grave and turns away. Unlike The Brig's funeral, 14's grief over Sarah Jane is raw and quiet. He steps away and simply whispers

"Goodbye. My Sarah Jane" and then leaves for The TARDIS, to a much happier location. 14 uses The TARDIS to attend every single major event he missed from his companions lives.

He visits Jamie McCrimmon back in 19th century Scotland, finding his old friend regained his memories in his twilight years and the two embrace and catch up with each other.

He attends weddings of his friends, Martha and Mickey, Tegan and Nysaa, Jack and River (that one throws him off slightly). He dances and laughs and lets himself feel.

He visits Chiswick in the late 2000s, standing outside the hospital and seeing Donna and Shaun leave, carrying a tiny little baby that he knows will one day be Rose Noble.

He's there for Kate Stewart after her father is gone, explaining how he was there, that he's a future Doctor. 14 lets Kate scream and shout at him and then cry on his shoulder, just holds her.

14 visits Jack Harkness after he lost both his grandson Steven and Ianto Jones and helps his friend. He drags Jack up out of his depression and helps him, even letting Jack hate him and blame him, for which Jack later apologises for.

14 goes back again to 1970's New Jersey and breaks the rules, visiting Amy and Rory in their later life. He meets their adoptive son and talks about everything that's happened to both of them, reassuring them he saved River in the end and spent 24 years in the same place as her at the end of their time together.

While 15 is off amongst the stars, fighting robots and racism and shapeshifters and Gods of Chaos, 14 is bouncing all around Earth, dropping in on old friends and healing broken trust. He goes everywhere, everywhen for everyone. He is The Doctor in a way he never was before. And he loves every minute of it.

@emilythezeldafan @crypt--creature

im crying that ineffable pin is cute T_T

wait AND there's a sonic screwdriver one?? 10/10 adorable <3

New additions to the pin jacket!

Can y'all guess where I got these? (2 of these I haven't even posted about)
