Had a silly idea of combining Crowley gifs with Zaphod Beeblebrox quotes because they're my two favorite characters and I'm very weird. I think it weirdly works, though

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

[amata-haan]

[amata-haan]

I’ve been going through the Google reviews for Good Omens and it’s hilarious because it’s so easy to tell who hasn’t read the book. 'Why did they have to go and make it gay?' clearly you’ve never heard Aziraphale described as "gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide (pg 151)"

Crowley x Queen lockscreens ✨ I made those lockscreens for my phone because I have exam tomorrow🤦🏻‍♀️anyway feel free to use if you like any

[amata-haan]

HI CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW THE METATRON IS THE DEMON ON AZIRAPHALE'S SHOULDER IN THIS SHOT

literally has anyone done a full analysis of the shoulder symbolism in this show yet it's so- 😭

like, s1 we have

And of course my beloved

and now in s2 we have this

and this

does this count?

also THIS from the edinburgh minisode (crowley is the angel on aziraphale's shoulder here)

what does it all MEANNNN

I’m both shocked and not surprised, and now it seems like tendinitis wasn’t the only reason the europe tour was cut short.

One of my favorite things are etsy shops that consist entirely of good omens fan art

#good omens #etsy #i love it but it’s terrible for my bank balance #aziraphale #crowley #ineffable husbands

reblog to give the person you reblogged this from a fucking break

[amata-haan]

ineffable husbands are trending on twitter again

#good omens #aziraphale #crowley #ineffable husbands #david tennant #michael sheen

This reminds me of when David said to Michael, “You’re the Debbie McGee to my Paul Daniels”

😐

Maybe Aziraphale looked so hurt after the kiss, because he’s been thinking about their first kiss for so long, he had never thought it would be one out of desperation.

Aziraphale, who reads romance novels and thinks the best way to get people together is at an elaborate ball, must have imagined up a thousand different ways they would share their first kiss.

Looking at the stars together.

Under a meteor shower.

Even in the backseat of the Bentley.

Never had he considered it to be anything other than a romantic gesture that confirms their love for one another.

For it to be so desperate, so searching, it was a complete shock.

#just another in a long line of things to cry over

Fanfic Recs!

Been on a reading spree so I thought it would be nice to rec a few of my favourite Good Omens fics

The Many-Venomed Earth (teen) - Gorgeous AU 1930s detective story where amateur sleuth Aziraphale must get Crowley off a murder charge. Yes that pun was intentional but actually this one is rated teen. I absolutely INHALED this fic and am halfway through the sequel - it's just brilliant.

Trial & Error (E) - Crowley on trial again - this time in Heaven, and the Supreme Archangel Aziraphale is the judge. AWK-WARD. Hilarious, angsty and hot, what more could you ask!

Half agony half hope (teen) - absolutely loved this one! Regency AU which basically uses the British class system as a replacement for Heaven, with a lovely bit of moral awakening, especially for Aziraphale. I’m a sucker for a good bit of history and there are some nice real historical events referenced within - part of said moral awakening - and really deftly done. highly recommend.

Jesus, Etc (Gen)- the very first Good Omens fic I read, in that desperate post S2 period where all I wanted was a funny, happy resolution for those ineffable idiots...and this one delivered!

A Narrow Escape to the Country (teen) - properly funny. Aziraphale and Crowley appear on a daytime househunting tv series. Hilarity ensues.

Married at first sight (teen)- another reality show, which I have not watched, but that did not interfere with my enjoyment of this fic. Fake marriage is like…my favourite trope. Give me more.

Muddle through somehow (teen)- oh wait, here’s some more! Fake marriage and fake kid and fake country cottage. The voices are spot on in this one!

The Grinder Logo Doesn’t Even Have a G in It (E) - You've almost certainly read this already and if you haven't you must. Post season 1 fic which manages to do footnotes RIGHT. Properly funny, extremely hot, and pretty flipping adorable. I loved it.

Slow Show (E) - AU. Who possibly hasn’t heard of this fic? But it is fantastic, and hot and romantic and gorgeous.
