11 Good Omens Fic Favorites
a.k.a. I was going to choose my personal top ten but was too indecisive
One of my fandom resolutions for 2023 is to get back into reccing, so here’s a very casual GO rec list to kick things off! Fics are ordered longest to shortest.
As with any rec list, please read the warnings and tags on ao3 and make whatever decisions are best for you. I hope you enjoy!
the bucket list by darcylindbergh (@forineffablereasons)
There was a certain look that Aziraphale wore occasionally—a pinched sort of moue that looked like he’d just taken a very large mouthful of cinnamon—which meant he thought Crowley was being ridiculous. He had put it on. “Hang on,” he had said. “You want us to do human things?” * If you're going to go native, you might as well go all the way.
absolutely stunning, I wanted to take breaks while reading to really let it all sink in, I felt ALL THE EMOTIONS (44k, incomplete, E)
Your Mirror by equestrianstatue (@justlikeeddie)
I'll be your mirror; reflect what you are, in case you don't know. Crowley drummed his fingers briefly against his mug, and then sat back a little in his chair. He gave Aziraphale a long, appraising glance, and then seemed to come to some decision. “Listen, angel,” he said, “let me pitch you something.” Lulled by the familiar patter of Crowley’s voice as he was, Aziraphale still recognised this to be vaguely dangerous territory. He swallowed. “Go on,” he said.
one of the best-executed non-linear narrative fics I've ever read—just masterful, really peels back the layers in their relationship (28k, E)
This Soul Outstreaming by Rend_Herring
“Why did you come here?” Aziraphale interrupts. “Why do you keep doing this?” All the saving, he means, all the chasing after Aziraphale he does. It can’t only be that he’s not keen to endure a replacement. That can’t be it, not anymore. He’s going to get himself in trouble, and then it’ll be Aziraphale’s fault. Crowley’s mouth shuts with a click. He shifts uncomfortably in his seat, reaches for the handle of the fork and taps his fingertips against it before setting his hands in his lap. When he speaks, it’s very soft. “Don’t you know?” he asks. Aziraphale, unnaccustomed to his heart refusing to translate why it throbs with such haste, shakes his head.
sad, tender, funny, and romantic with beautiful prose, really just everything you want, so many quotable lines (22k, E)
Lay me down in Eden by caricari (@heycaricari)
Two supernatural entities go for a walk and Crowley gets more than he bargained for.
SO ROMANTIC OH MY GOD in the dialogue, interior monologue, and actions, excellent characterization, so pure (then explicit lol) (17k, E)
You've Got Kudos by curtaincall (@fremulon)
Aziraphale and Crowley both write fanfiction. As it happens, they both write Good Omens fanfiction. Of course, neither of them would ever admit this to the other. (A love story told primarily in AO3 comments)
this is the most meta thing ever lmao, really impressive skins for the ao3 look—pay attention to all the little details like usernames, etc. (4k, M)
build me a city, call it jerusalem by gyzym (@gyzym)
Man begets man begets The Tales of Men, and there's nothing godly in that; Those Above and Them Below haven't any need for the stories humans have been hungry for since the snake and the Angel with the flaming sword.
pre-show fic written in 2012, leans heavily into religious themes and Biblical references, melancholic, spare but beautiful writing style (3k, T)
The Gift by entanglednow (@entanglednow)
In which there is a little wooden elephant, and a long overdue confession.
simple yet checks all the boxes, very very soft and sweet, the DEVOTION, more biblical settings, truly just lovely (3k, T)
Anthony J. Crowley, Retired Demon and Airbnb Superhost by TheOldAquarian (@darkpurpledawn)
What are you supposed to do when you've been fired from your sweet job in Hell for thwarting the schemes of Satan, you've got a swanky flat in Mayfair, and you're looking for an excuse to spend all your time in someone else's bookshop? Obviously, you turn to the dubious world of short-term vacation rentals. The resulting Airbnb property has been variously described as "an instagram trap," "a vampire den but make it botanical," and "the weirdest bed and breakfast in the shared history of beds and breakfasting."
a highly entertaining series of Airbnb reviews of Crowley’s flat—every single one kills me, as do our ineffable duo’s cameos (3k, G)
Kissing, Accidentally. by skybound2 (@skybound2)
Crowley doesn’t mean to kiss him, really. It just sort of…happens. An…automatic response, if you will. An unintended automatic response. Unexpected, even. It’s not planned, that’s what he’s trying to say. ~~~ Or the one where Crowley gives in and kisses Aziraphale while he has him pinned against a wall.
winner of best use of footnotes, hilarious, Crowley is WHIPPED and an absolute disaster of a demon, just delightful (2k, G)
Too Generous by rfsmiley (@redfacesmiley)
“You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever.” Or: what happened after the [ we all got hit by a ] bus scene (aka "you could stay at my place, if you like")….
the TENSION, the PINING, ahh my heart was in my throat, excellent dialogue, and multiple P&P references (1.5k, T)
Interwoven Footsteps by skybound2 (@skybound2)
It takes them a while to get there. Six thousand years, give or take. But they get there.
criminally underappreciated (probably because it's super short), gorgeous, lush, sweet, their whole story in under 1k words (700, T)

What's the Philippine anime lore? What were popular in south east asia but not in the west?
The number 1 answer is Voltes V.
Virtually unheard of in the West, Voltes V was the biggest among the three super robot shows that reigned as king in the Philippines during the martial law era: Voltes V, Deimos, and Mazinger Z. Virtually everybody in my parents' generation watched one of the three even if they weren't anime fans (Deimos was particularly popular among girls because of its love story), and because local channels distributed and dubbed the show themselves, they were immensely popular among the very poor youth who would otherwise be passed up on as a demographic (since they can't buy any merchandise)
My dad was one of those poor kids. He couldn't afford even a cheap, bootlegged Voltes V since he was sending all my titos and titas to school by working, but whenever Voltes V had a promo with merchandise (like when a hotdog brand sold Voltes V stickers), he would wait outside the grocery and beg the people coming out to get him just one sticker.
Since no one would give him any, he taught himself to draw, and got good enough that he could start drawing his own Voltes V sketches until sketching became his future career. To this day, he credits Voltes V with lifting my family out of poverty, and that I wouldn't be here without that robot.
That's why for one of my dad's birthdays, I had a friend comb through an antique store and found a print of the exact same sticker sheet no one would give my dad as a kid. The shop had no idea what it was worth and gave it away for basically free lmao.
Oh and also Voltes V's cancellation by the Marcos regime (they claimed the anime contained too many subversive elements) was so deeply unpopular that it's commonly joked that it's what led to the revolt that ended up kicking Ferdinand Marcos out of power. That's just a joke of course, but whenever it gets brought up at least one old man says "Cancelling Voltes V was the last straw" with deadly seriousness.
Anyway, it turned out Voltes V was so popular in the Philippines and literally nowhere else (including Japan) that when Super Robot Wars featured him, his base city got moved to Manila instead. Its English dub was also done by the Filipinos themselves, as no Western distributor picked the show up, so if you ever find a copy of the show in English you may notice no one sounds remotely american.
_____
Another fun bit of trivia when it comes to anime in the Philippines is that Yu Yu Hakusho got released here with its name (and the names of its entire cast) changed. It was called Ghost Fighter (it's STILL known as Ghost Fighter), and Yusuke was called Eugene. I legitimately did not know for years that this was only in the Philippines, and for the longest time wondered why nobody else ever called the show Ghost Fighter even in English-speaking territories.
To this day my friends and I quote parts of the dub, as translating Yu Yu Hakusho's script into Tagalog made it sound both really funny and yet extremely quotable.

This has been done a million times before and no one asked but I decided to rank the songs from Nerdy Prudes Must Die.
Let's go Nighthawks!
Tumblr media
15. Cool As I Think I Am
I actually do love this song but when I listen to the full album, it’s one of only two songs I sometimes skip. The sound of it is very sweet, just like Pete, and it’s a great song to establish his character and his conflict in stepping outside his set social role (also props for originating the “I’m not a loser” refrain that repeats several times throughout the show to great effect). It’s just maybe not as exciting as the rest of the songs on the list.
14. Bully the Bully
Very catchy and fun, and the “cool beans” verse holds a special place in my heart (as do Grace’s little spins). Half the fun of it are the (very cute) dance moves which makes this song a little less effective when just listening to it. I love the guitar riffs and hearing all the nerds teaming up and happy for the only scene in the entire show.
13. Bury the Bully
I don’t usually prefer the shorter reprise but this song is too unhinged for me not to love it. Some highlights: Grace’s immediate acceptance of the situation and detailed knowledge in disposing of a body (and the casual “how else he gonna fit?” like she’s not suggesting something absolutely psychotic), “oh god, she’s snapping again”, Ruth coming around faster than the rest of the nerds because she’s apparently only slightly less unhinged than Grace, the discordant slamming on the piano keys after every “hack all his limbs off”.
12. Dirty Dudes Must Die
Would be much higher if only it were longer. This was the heel-face turn I was waiting for and Angela absolutely kills it, the deranged energy is off the charts. Grace singing “who will pray for you” and pointing at the audience gives me chills as does that final “run”. It feels like another story is just beginning.
11. Go Go Nighthawks!
I love all the sounds in this song - the beats that sound like lockers closing, the school band drums and trumpets, the jocks grunting and the “caw caws” from the cheerleaders. They add so much and convey such a strong sense of the setting, a must for a show that doesn’t really have any sets lmao. Also, fuck Clivesdale!
10. The Best of You
This song is just super cute and it makes me happy to listen to - Lautski own my entire heart, I can’t help it. Many have pointed out the Disney channel sound of it but it also reminds me a lot like those mid 2000s pop punk British boybands (think McFly and Busted) and I think that was deliberate with the British accent Joey and Mariah put on a couple of the lines. Anyway, I love how overwhelmingly bright and happy this song sounds, because it almost rounds back to sinister as you just know this can’t be the end of the show - we don’t get endings this happy in Hatchetfield!
9. Just For Once
This is the other song I sometimes skip but only because it’s five minutes long and such a character piece that I’m not always in the mood for it. Lauren blows me away with her ability to perform in character. That switch from Ruth’s amateur acting in the verses to the more sincere chorus is so beautiful. And that ending, oof. “I used to dance”, gets me every time.
8. Hatchet Town
I love a good mob song and this is an all time favorite for me. The Hatchetverse has been successful in establishing a multitude of interesting side characters that make the world feel lived in and that really pays off here; the song works if you don’t know most of the characters but it’s so much better if you do. 
This is the first scene in the show that expands the story outside the school and the characters there, and it makes the danger feel all the more pressing, especially with how frantic and sinister it sounds. It’s also endlessly quotable; in a way, aren’t we all Dan Reynolds (with Action News, weekdays at 10 PM)?
7. Dirty Girl
Seems like I’m a much bigger fan of this song than many but I could never resist a musical theater song about sex. I love how weird and gross this song is while also containing some masterful lyrics. I love this bizarre look at sex through Grace’s warped, sheltered worldview. Most of all, I love that this is the first time we hear the line “will you pray for me” in the show and every time it appears after it’s in a wildly different context.
6. Cool As I Think I Am (Reprise) 
This song makes me cry and I’m not afraid to admit it. It's the way Pete starts the song being so brave and so gentle as he convinces Steph to make an impossible choice, how they come together in the middle of it, finally completely honest with each other about their feelings, and how at the end the song slows as they’re both overwhelmed by the tragedy of the situation. “I’d have to let you go” let me go curl up and cry for a week, maybe.
5. High School Is Killing Me
A killer intro (heh). This is how you set the mood for a show! The slow start with Richie and Ruth is perfect and then the beat kicks in and I ascend to a higher level. A really strong aspect of the songs in this show are the harmonies and we get some incredible ones here - they sound so good together. This may also be the catchiest song on the soundtrack.
4. The Summoning
Oh my god this song!! First the intro with the chant, the trio’s bright voices underscored by the creepy whispers in the background, and then the descent into immediate chaos as soon as the Lords enter. I guess this is more of a “theatrical” song in that it’s not really something you listen to out of context of the musical but it works so incredibly well in context. Hearing all five of the lords together and taunting our protagonists is so insanely good. And I love how this song works musically, too, with the guitars and drums in the louder parts almost battling it out with the piano in the slower parts. Jeff Blim really popped off with this one.
3. Literal Monster
God, the foreboding atmosphere in this song is unmatched. The incredible build-up to our antagonist, managing to make a believable threat out of a cliched high school bully. Kim Whalen belting “He roars, and we cry” lives rent free in my mind. And then Will Branner shows up and lives up to every single expectation instantly. 
2. Nerdy Prudes Must Die
Extremely basic opinion to think this song is great (the real unpopular take might be that it’s only number two) but what do you want me to say? That the similarities to the Halloween theme don’t make me wanna clap my hands with glee? That the music and lyrics don’t both absolutely slap? (“Will you pray for me” I will give you my entire life actually) That Jon Matteson belting “I’m not a loser” might not be the single greatest moment in the entire show? This is why they invented musical theater. I will take no further questions.
1. If I Loved You
Look I am Lautski trash, I will fully admit that, but this song is also just a bop. It’s the most fun song in the show to sing along to, by a mile. It is young, stubborn love boiled down to its most entertaining bits. It is two people almost coming together but missing each other by a hair and that hair is having too much pride to be the first to admit you’ve got a crush. This song has drama, it has fun, it has two characters vehemently denying their feelings for each other while insisting the other only deserves the best. “Don’t need a lover boy, need a lover man” marry me, Mariah Rose. How about that? Also, Joey Richter’s improvement as a singer has been severely underappreciated and this song shows his voice off perfectly. 
I am ranting but that’s because I cannot coherently express how much I love this song. In a soundtrack filled with nothing but hits, this one hits me right in the heart.

I'm curious... What's your fave episode
This is a Very tough call for me, it’s between the S3 finale (molasses flood) or the S4 Saint Olga
Both Garrett and Selorm are GREAT guests that bring wonderful energy to the show
Both are incredibly quotable, with the highlights being “Are you threatening me in front of this ol’ big tank of molasses here?” And “my liege you truly are pretty sick in the head <3”
All guest puppets involved are very fucking good; we all know I love God, but the birch trees having a little mangled Igor jangling between them is soooo good, and Shane gooping that Horse puppet up was so well done, I gotta wonder what they actually used for it. Mfer got absolutely slimed lmao
Both are very good lorewise! S3 finale confirmed the Professor as a time traveler who created the guest puppets inadvertently and the Saint Olga episode introduced my favorite chekhov’s gun of all time (taps blog title) I’ll never shut up about it
S4 is full of banger songs, including the birch trees’; however, nothing will ever beat the fact they hyped up this dumb fucking horse and his ska music All Season & In The AMA, said it would make u WEEP, and then fucking killed him off before he even got to the chorus. And then. AND THEN! His song got fucking hijacked and he can’t do SHIT about it because That’s God™️. Not just that, but everyone loves him and thought he made the song so much better.
Stanley Melvin Wifeguy Murphy’s wife didn’t even die with him.
AND she’s remarrying.
AND he went to hell for mouse murder.
It just doesn’t get better than that. It doesn’t. As a gay jester I have so much respect for the way he was styled upon so thoroughly.
after those 2 it’s definitely the demonic possessions of Loudon though

// Not AskMacan
Hey, thanks for all of the recent asks lately! It's very cool to see so many people interested in this silly format of interacting with the Housamo characters, and I very much enjoy playing the part of Macan and Nomad.
But lately I've been at a loss of what to say to so many asks. For many reasons, but the first being that many of them aren't relevant (which I will touch on in a second), or are a bit too inappropriate to respond to. Although I do have a content warning on this blog, it becomes hard to want to answer asks with that sort of content. And if thats the majority of the asks I'm receiving, it seems like a "give and no take" situation considering how little im putting out.
For those who don't know, I, the owner if this blog, am Grey Asexual, so I'm not particularly interested in the sexual aspect of Macan and Nomad. Yes, I do love the fact they are big titty kitties, but it's less about the gacha-ness and more about the characters' personalities and dynamic (for me at least). Macan is a crazy, loose cannon, and Nomad is a broke guy, and it's very fun. So that's mostly how I structure the jokes and replies. This is not to say I'm just completely uninterested in the dirty jokes, but "Macan and Nomad gay SEX" doesn't do it for me all the time.
The other thing I mentioned is the relevancy of the things being asked... Look I understand some people find reference humor... humorous, but I really do not. And frankly, it urks me, because if I do not understand the reference, I have nothing to say. If other people don't understand the reference, they gain nothing from the joke. And, even if I do understand the reference, I will still lack any kind of way to write a joke, or even an interesting observation. Reference humor is only enjoyable for people who both enjoy and know about the refence. Considering this fandom is small, there's not a lot of circling culture for the benefit of a well-written refence joke, other than that what Housamo provides. And Housamo in of itself is not a very quotable/easily quoted piece of storytelling 🫠
All of this is to say without questions that "strike the rock" so-to-speak, I don't have much to comment, and I'm sorry but lmao this isn't an easy thing to keep up 😅
No, it's no ones job to feed this blog content, and it is not your job to change the questions you want to ask. Just keep in mind without a relevant question pertaining to these characters in this world, there is not much interesting dialog that can come from it. Maybe you'd love to know about how Nomad feels about Black Ops, but like... I don't know anything about it and neither does he, so what am I supposed to write? (Non-specific example.)

Hi stormy, I came aross this tweet. Is it worthy to add to your Rainbow moments ? This time it´s for Seokjin-ie. It´s cute https://twitter.com/namujjinie/status/1614070485448523777?s=20&t=XDbRbGU3Bzje5Oq9poGR1A
have a great day
LMAO
Tumblr media
Idk if I would count this a rainbow moments or a I think you could be queer hint. I think that jumping and hiding into someone when scared is a super natural reaction and one we see him do alot and honestly tons of people do this too. But I also won't discount it either 😂
Tumblr media
Also this comes from the 140501 IZE.CO.KR Magazine interview and I HIGHLY recommend reading it in full. It has some hilarious one liners from every member and could be very quotable 🤣 Including some that I would consider more 💅🏼 than others too lol
Thank you so much for sharing too! I hope you have a great day 💜

Have you already been asked for Deki?
nope! the Orange Guy (as he's been called lol) in my icon! thanks Anon for providing me with what's clearly going to be my most controversial post 🤪 (i don't know if i've ever used this emoji before, what a historic day)
favorite thing about them: it's gotta be his loyalty to the people he loves. sometimes it's even to the point of stupidity, or "you didn't have to do that." but i've never seen anything quite to his level of devotion and committment. all heart ZERO brain on this man. not one brain cell. it's all in the heart.
he's also really hilarious* and like. kinsey 7. nothing will convince me this man is not 100% gay and only married because he's a religious catholic.
(*i don't like most "comedy" because i have an odd sense of humor, and if i want to have a laugh, i'll more often than not put on some liverpool movren content because of how genuinely fucking funny they are together. i always wind up laughing out loud. standup comedians WISH they were movren however he is also funny on his own, albeit sometimes unintentionally...i think)
last--his appearance, duhhh. if i could look like a man i'd want to look like him, this is a known fact. he's got just the right vibe of strong, confident masculinity and the fucking shoulder/back/arm situation is 🔥
least favorite thing about him: ...do you hear me heaving a heavy sigh? lol. i won't go into the graphic details, but the amount of time i've spent being his pro bono defense attorney when it's not deserved! (some things are also not worthy of defending.)
i remember there was a post a while back that said something like "whatever your special interest was at the beginning of the pandemic is always going to have a weird level of significance to you." and at first i was like doesnt apply to me--football was my thing before the pandemic, and it still is. but then i remembered that the pandemic hit just as i was developing an interest in this fool 😂 i guess that explains everything.
favorite line: HOW DO I CHOOSE????? he's so quotable. he also once responded to one of my questions on an insta takeover--he only chose 3 twitter questions and i'm convinced he picked mine because my display name at the time was "Monlyfans" lmao. maybe on one of his lajvs with šime when he was like "who are all these people on instagram pretending to be me????" and šime was like "they're fanpages" or the classic on his southampton twitter takeover, "Peter Crouch is so tall OMG". orrr on his twitter q&a two years ago, when someone asked "your wife or Mo?" and he went "don't make me choose..."
brotp: oh it's gotta be him chilling with Domo, even though tbh. he's so GAY to me that most dudes he talks to make me wanna ship it, lol. i kind of liked him with timo at zenit...oh and when he was gay mentoring dalerka and mostovoy, who seemed to do very well with his teachings (RIP kustovoy)
notp: hmmm. deki x trashy american right wing culture, lmao
otp: it's always that impossible choice of šejan vs movren. they're both so different. something about movren really gets me because i think it has a lot of layers of depth that is not discussed, and i love the contrast especially toward the end of their time together at liverpool, of like global beloved star vs 4th choice center-back on the bench, and how dej had not one ounce of jealousy or resentment toward mo...Idk that's just quite special
random headcanon: i don't think i have one.
unpopular opinion: sigh...i've expressed this before and am Weary...but the lockdown fucked him up hard and he absolutely never recovered mentally. and that just makes me feel bad. you don't have to! but i do and i'm glad that i do. maybe it could have all been different yknow? especially because i've seen similar things happen to people i'm close to in real life.
song i associate with them: well, aside from 'sin pijama' lol...i only really associate songs with him because of my movren fanmix (only time i've ever made a good fanmix for a football ship! and as i've said, it's a very 'i liked the movie Garden State too much when i was a teenager' fanmix lol (guilty as charged)) (lmk if you want me to link it somewhere) some of them are more "mo," some are "dejan," and some are a mix. i'd say the dejan ones are:
-moment's silence (common tongue) by hozier: singing boldly about oral sex and the catholic church? that tracks.
-the only living boy in new york by simon & garfunkel: uh the gayest and most loving song alive? but also the story behind it makes me think of what i said about movren earlier--the "flop" being just so happy for the star. (not saying paul simon is more of a "flop" than art garfunkel LOL but the idea of him writing a song for his friend going down to mexico to be in a movie, and just being affectionate and proud about it! idk!)
favorite picture of them: ahhh...how about:
Tumblr media
also this from ligue 1 for the LOLS 😂 if i had a deki rainbow jersey i'd never take it off

What are the top 5 shows you would recommend to people?
Okay that's an excellent question! Most if not all might be cartoons so brace yourself lmao.
Ever since I've watched Transformers Animated I've made it my mission to make as many people as possible get into it. It's like if Transformers mixed with Teen Titans. It's great! Maybe I'm biased because Prowl was my first f/o lol.
Someone I knew suggested I watch Tuca and Bertie, and I'm glad they did. It's a wonderful adult cartoon. It's hilarious and it makes a an excellent use of the adult medium to tackle serious subjects. I actually really relate to Birdie most of the time, and even Tuca in some ways.
Actually I'm rewatching Sonic X right now and it's so charming so far and I had to add it. It's corny, it makes great use of the Sonic Team, and it has a lot of Looney Tunes-esque gags. So many platonics in that show. I started for Shadow and so far my favorite is Amy. Unfortunately it hasn't aged the best in certain places
Oh my god. Now's my chance. Nobody talks about this but. Dr Katz Professional Therapist. It's an adult cartoon from MTV in the 90s and it's all on youtube for free. It's kind of unique in it's humor, much like Home Movies(which i couldn't actually bring myself to finish but that's another story), the characters don't really sound like they have much of a script and they stutter a lot and the dialogue just feels very natural and it's so charming. And his patients are basically popular comedians of the time doing their little stand up acts and it's super neat because my favorite comedian Brian Regan was in it!!! It even has a perfectly cut scream in one of the episodes. Got me to cackle on multiple occasions. Dr Katz is actually a parental f/o of mine too.
I had a couple of others I was indecisive about what to pick for the last one. But I had just remembered the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared show! I recommend this ONLY for people who are into horror though. It can get a little intense, albeit not as intense as the original shorts. And the humor keeps it from being too disturbing for sure. I found their situation to be strangely relatable, and I love the wacky humor and the dark spin on a children's media that isn't overly edgy and is genuinely fun. Besides I've had this scene stuck in my head.
Honorable mention: It wasn't a show so I couldn't really put this in anywhere, but I highly recommend the new Mickey Mouse shorts that began in 2013. It's a fresh spin on the Disney characters, has incredibly quotable humor on the level of that of Spongebob, and has so many loving obscure references to other Disney properties. Sometimes the shorts will be pretty standard but with this extremely out of pocket moment, but sometimes they'll just be entirely bizarre. My favorite is the one where Mickey and Donald construct and entire potato themed Disneyland for Goofy. I also have an f/o from there too but shhhhh
(Also you might also want to read the tags)

First of all, congratulations to finish watching rottmnt but also, I've got a question bc you just recently watch the series and stuff.
So I watched both the two seasons and the movie multiple times plus these little clips videos bc rottmnt is just maximal comfort for me, but I started to recognize that I'm apperantly rambling random quotes out of nowhere for literally no reason at any given moment.
For example, I was putting some ice cubes into the freezer but they didn't fit so I needed to arrange them a bit and the first thing that came into my mind was quoting Mikey from that episode with the pizza week and this band wanting to put up a show and blowing up the turtles fav pizza places. So I sat there in front of the freezer and just shouted out loud "You will feel pain!" while calmly arranging the ice cubes.
Sad thing is, neither my family or my friends either watched or like rottmnt so in their eyes I'm just shouting out random stuff without any context and I even started to add "just a quote" behind every time I said smth so they don't think I'm talking about them (╸w╺)
Soooo... Do you also happen to... do that or is that some kind of "I watched that shit 5 times in a row and now it's stuck in ma stupid brain" kinda thing?
I'm sorry for rambling btw... (ᵕ—ᴗ—)
Tumblr media
first of all, youre in good company because im a quote machine.
second of all, because of that, i am a terrible person to ask this of lmao
what makes rottmnt different is that it has excellent writing which makes it VERY quotable. especially if you grew up with siblings- its peak sibling chaos energy (fun fact, i was the youngest of six... so very high end mikey spirit from me)
so i dont blame you AT ALL for quoting it. its got some very unique statements
i havent caught myself saying anything (except for eugh boy and ba ba dummmm (because thats a ben schwartz staple in VA work))
BUT i mean i still sing the eggs song from one of the Land Before Time sequels (not even the MAIN MOVIE) whenever i make eggs
so itll happen eventually
prolly on my second rewach

gay bitch fangirls over always sunny
i've just realized that tumblr is the perfect place for a queer bitch to nerd out about her favorite show. i finished it a month ago and...oof, i love this thing. i find it weirdly beautiful in a way. i enjoy seeing the most dysfunctional people put to air's misadventures, and i am definitely one of the disturbed people this show comforts lmao.
despite functionally/nominally about being horrible people doing horrible things, the gang somehow never quite lose every scrap of humanity they have; i guess by virtue of being white trash instead of upper-class. there are times when the gang are appalled at the atrocities someone ELSE comments, and sometimes when even they feel maybe they're going too far. (they usually don't things like "no" stop em tho...)
i also love the way it weaponizes every facet of being a sitcom, and uses them to comment on what happens within the show: +you can just pop in at any time during the show's run and not be too lost, not extremely reliant on past events & arcs
-the gang experiencing extremely traumatic events is not an "arc" or something that is ever dealt with/brought up again, considering their ol' reliable is drinking it down & not talking about it
-as sitcoms go on, they typically become sadder, as it just gets depressing that this group of people literally has nothing else to do with their lives.
+depressing is the point.
-as sitcoms go on, characters typically undergo "flanderization", where previously minor aspects of their character become their entire personality within the show. typically is extremely annoying
+the gang functions as a vicious echo chamber that they are trapped within, as no one in the outside world can stand being with them. also, they are CHRONIC abusers of alcohol & a million other substances like glue. it makes sense that charlie only becomes more illiterate, considering his habits (which include eating cat food & huffing glue) never really change
-to keep sitcoms running, the characters remain perfectly static throughout, and it is only really the situations & people around them that change
+the core of what makes the characters who they are doesn't change much over 15 seasons, but they DO grow with the times; just very, VERY slowly. i think they've handled this adeptly; in season 10, they eased off dennis' creep-oness in the second episode by having him be on the RECEIVING end of his weird rating system, in one of the most hilarious & quotable moments of a show that is already hilarious & quotable throughout. I'M A FIVE STAR MAN!!!!
there's prolly even more i can't think of. but it is such BRUTAL satire of...basically anything i CAN think of. it's this satire that gives depth to, what on the surface, might appear as a banal show that only exists to be offensive. the writers actually do NOT write to offend anybody (except maybe rly stuffy stuck-up ppl lmao)! it started as basically just wanting to write a sitcom that's "real", about a group of friends that are NEVER there for each other (tho they ARE there for each other, sometimes!). and this ended up being the perfect vehicle to satirize a LOT of facets about american life.
i also LOVE the way sunny handles queerness! it is not something that inherently makes you a better NOR a worse person, but it's also smth that always deserves respect, no matter who the queer person is. this is where its sitcom format works beautifully yet again; after mac's genuinely moving coming out moment as the s13 finale, s14 starts off...the way any other season starts off, and i LOVE that.
(sidenote: i don't think mac's brief coming out then re-entering the closet in s11 is an issue! that's real life. a friend of mine realized she was prolly trans, then decided she wasn't, and recently re-realized that she is lol. THAT'S LIFE!!!! tho, it would've been an issue if mac NEVER came out i think, but they had him come out in s12, and come out beautifully to his dad in s13)
i think always sunny succeeds at having...let's say, "very morally complicated" characters, while not accidentally glorifying them as much as the sopranos or breaking bad (tho i still love those shows hehe), while still having them be human. i think it is a beautifully human show. the show does not lie in the SLIGHTEST about who these people are, yet i am still excited to see another season with this gang i somehow do still root for. it shows us EVERYTHING about who these people are with less shame than we think about ourselves. we share in their every high, every low [of which there are many], and everything in between. and that's what bein' human is all about.

1980s hits!
Anne of Green Gables, The Princess Bride, Back to the Future, The Land Before Time, Oliver & Company & like. Half of Ghibli’s hits are from this era, do you have a fav?
Anne of Green Gables
never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite| masterpiece
Assuming you're talking about the Kevin (?) Sullivan one, BELOVED. I have very fond memories of watching it at my grandparents' place... my grandfather loves AoGG (he was born in New Brunswick!). I used to be quite the Anne girlie lol, still have fond memories of it even though I only remember the first half of the movie 🥰
The Princess Bride
never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece
Top movies of all time. I am not necessarily an 80s 'everything was better then' (lmao not with reagan as president...) but movies in the 80s were insanely next level. The Princess Bride is one of my all time favourite movies! It's perfect for ANY mood, it's bisexual catnip, and it's infinitely quotable. Cary Elwes in this movie is STILL the ideal man.
Back to the Future
never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece
Quite possibly my literal favourite movie of all time. I can never get tired of it. Michael J Fox, short Canadian king. You built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?? (I own four, btw: two BTTF DeLorean Christmas ornaments, a hot wheels one, and a playmobil one). The first movie is perfect on its own, but the trilogy is also insanely good. If you haven't seen it, i think you perhaps haven't lived. Yes the actual time travel science is bullshit according to other time travel movies, but I don't CARE. also I literally wrote a whole BTTF AU. this is my movie.
The Land Before Time
never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece
We had this on VHS (dating myself here...) and I really enjoyed it! Justice for the 80s/90s animations that were not Disney... also they made leafs look fucking delicious.
Oliver & Company
never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece
Disney's flop era... I'm a Robin Hood girlie. Precursor to the weird 2000s era where they just told whatever stories they wanted. Oliver Twist but with animals in New York City is a fun concept. I haven't seen it though. Should I watch it?
Okay yeah, I looked up what Ghiblis were in the 80s and uh.
Castle in the Sky
never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece
All Ghiblis are a masterpiece, but even when you ignore all the fun pirate stuff in Castle in the Sky, it's surprisingly... haunting? We got a bunch of Ghibli movies on DVD one Christmas, and we watched Ponyo one night, and then followed it up with this one... it just feels so... melancholy. And yet full of whimsy (it's a warning about mistreating the earth and resources like so many of them are, goddamn it). Anyway, picturing the giant floating tree now... and feeling emotional.

hi corynn! how about 2, 9, 17, and 40 for the fanfic writers ask game?
so this has been sitting in my inbox for literal weeks and i have just not been able to find the time to answer it. so sorry bri. 🩵but i’m here now! let’s go~
2: talk about a notable time a narrative or character has looked you dead in the eyes and said “fuck your plan, here’s what we’re actually doing.”
honestly this doesn’t happen TOO often to me bc i’m such an outliner, but the one plot-point that comes to mind is how in natgig san wasn’t originally going to have feelings for seonghwa right off the bat. but then i started writing and it just fit. it required some re-outlining, but not that much, because as silly as it sounds i think the characters i’d created were really meant to love eachother. it took a little shifting of tone for their future scenes, but that’s about all.
there’s also been a couple of times that certain scenes go a bit different than i expect them to, but nothing drastic. i try to stick to my outline, especially for elaborate stories like natgig that require a lot of foreshadowing and build-up.
9: in an ideal world where you’re already super successful and published, would you want to see a tv or movie adaptation of your work? why or why not?
i think it really depends on what kind of work of mine were to get an adaption. if we’re talking natgig, i absoluetly think it should be a tv show. there’s far too much content in there for it to be limited to two hours. plus there will be 15 chapters, all very long, that i think could each be its own 45 minute episode.
however, other works i have in the holster (such as the contemporary-style romance i’ll likely be working on next) i think would work better as a movie. no sense dragging it out for a whole mini-series like certain book-to-tv show adaptions have done.
but realistically, if any work i write ever gets made into a movie or tv show or literally anything i think i’d just die of happiness LMAO. so it doesn’t rlly matter.
17: what is your favorite line you’ve ever written?
omg i have no idea. i don’t think my writing is extremely “quotable” per say. i think i’ve written quite a few lines that pack a real punch, but it’s more about their impact within the story itself.
so i think i’ll just cheat this question and say my favourite overall chapter/story i’ve written is part 07 of natgig. there was so much in there that i’m proud of. and while i often am too critical to reread any works older than a month or two back, i don’t have any problem with that one. i think it’s some of my best work.
40: best piece of feedback you’ve ever gotten.
anything and everything @sorikkung has ever sent me LMAO. while i absolutely love receiving compliments and they make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, my favourite feedback is when people just ramble about the story and what they think of the characters/plot/setting etc. it gives me so much insight into what people are thinking and what’s leaving an impact. and nobody gives me better insight into that than rascal🫶🫶
send me an ask for fanfic writers!

10 13 15 17 go >:-)
">:-)" thanks d*d where's your chin
Archduke Franz Ferdinand
10. What is your favourite quote by / about them?
Favourite quote by OR about him.... How do I choose from so many absolute BANGERS........ He was SO quotable and had just as many iconic if sometimes hilariously cutting things said about him, Legends Only behaviour.* But Oh Well it's got to be:
"Maybe today we shall get a few more little bullets."
Said RIGHT after they threw a bomb at him like sir you are f**king hilarious but at What Cost 💀
And about him?
"Franz Ferdinand loved his wife. He changed his mind."
~ The Lost History of 1914 by Jack Beatty ((about his decision to go on the Sarajevo trip)) KILLS me every time. Imprinted into my brain burned into my skull makes me FERAL bite concrete eat glass lick rust etc etc
((*straight up the only guy who beats him in this is literally Khrushchev I think. THAT is an accomplishment.))
13. If you had the chance to meet them, what is the first thing you would ask them?
"Would You Like A Free Autism Diagnosis"
First things first, ABSOLUTELY NONE of that world war stuff of course. It was the last thing he wanted. So where to begin?????? So many things!!! I want to let him know I Get Him Though, the way he hoped someone in the future would!! I want to ask him how he Coped being so shunned by those around him. I want to ask if he somehow always knew he'd meet someone like Sophie and if everything would eventually fall into place, if he knew he would build a home. Hell, I'd even ask what he thought of Ludwig II because they were, imho, very similar people, only a generation apart and had common circles. He was bound to think something. Lmao I could ask how he thought Ludwig died I literally ask everyone who knows him this 💀💀💀
But maybe all that can wait till I ask "shall we go to a flea market?". He knew his stuff well and hoarded like CRAZY and THAT'S the exact sort of person you'd want to go on such a trip with HHHHHH!!!! 🤡🤡🤡🤡 Might as well give him a break as Guy Who Accidentally Started WWI, you know.
15. Describe them one sentence (I know it’s hard, just give it a shot)! ^^
Poor Little Meow Meow
uh oh well........ Emo Time i guess,,,, I'd say: He wasn't difficult to love so much as easy to hate, because his love burned just as fiercely as his rage and it scared most from looking past the icy blue eyes.
17. Is there a song that reminds you of them?
Lmao "A sOnG" guy with an entire franzi playlist like "yeah i gotchu" *scrolls through their playlist* "I Will Not Choose A Taylor Swift I Will Not Choose A Taylor Swift IWillNotChooseATayl":
Curses by The Crane Wives:
Tumblr media
"Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust The devil's after both of us."

(—) ★ spotted!!  KARTER WINDSOR on the cover of this week’s most recent tabloid! many say that the 33 year old looks like MICHAEL B JORDAN, but i don’t really see it. while  the FORMER PRINCE / REALITY TV STAR / INFLUENCER is known for being CUNNING my inside sources say that they have a tendency to be UNRELIABLE i swear, every time i think of them, i hear the song DOGTOOTH BY TYLER THE CREATOR  { he/him / cis male} - penned by IVY, 21, CISFEMALE, SHE / HER
hi luvs !!! i'm ivy :)) so happy to see you all ! please excuse my bad timing and bad impulse control , i just kept typing HAHA but can't wait to write with you !!
𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒 :
name : karter antonio windsor age : thirty - three birthday : june 4th sign : gemini - gasp !! birthplace : london , england career : formerly , prince ! now . . . reality tv star & social media heartthrob !
𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 :
soo for those who hadn't already guessed , karter completes the windsor siblings trio ! he was formerly prince of uk until a few years ago , when their parents relinquished the royal title & moved them all to america !
but let's take a few steps back. before all this , honestly , karter had very few complaints with his royal life. he always felt like he was made for a life of luxury and attention , and he'd practically come out the womb trying to charm those around him. he enjoyed his privilege and wasn't shy in using it , often grinning at all the house staff when he'd act up and asking them not to tell his parents about whatever trouble he got into.
the more stiff , less idealized parts of royalty didn't appeal to him , however. in fact , there were probably pictures released of him falling asleep during royal ceremonies & trying to escape LMAO ! it was w relatively selfish intentions , honestly , his thought always being why put so much effort into something that matters so little to me ? i wouldn't be surprised if his parents constantly had to wrangle him growing up !!
but his redeeming quality def was his charisma as i mentioned. though most can agree he wasn't the most poised prince , he was very approachable & generally not ultra uppity ? and for that , he did best in public appearances , service projects , etc. basically he was like ... i want you to adore me but not worship me !
anyways , when he got to america the best way i can explain it is modern giselle from enchanted HA ! like ... he was so overwhelmed w all this newfound freedom , not only from moving but no longer being a royal ? and well ... he went crazy.
karter wasn't even there a week before the paparazzi had pictures of him club hopping , dancing over everyone , and being an absolute mess !! sure , there were those who he knew were only talking to him for his status , but he didn't mind. in fact ... part of him liked how his title could make people's heads turn , for better or for worse. because at least they were looking at him.
i find it entirely canon that when approached by the paparazzi regarding his chaotic life he said - " if you want the royal story , read my parent's book ! but if you want to know the karter story , just turn on tmz ! i'm sure you'll find me there. "
yeah .... guys he's one of my most chaotic muses yet HAHA !!!
but soon the appeal of mindless partying wore off , and so did the intrigue of the former prince moving to town. he wanted more attention , and didn't want it to stop with his title.
so , in 2021 , he starred in a too hot to handle-esque reality show , very steamy & scandalous vibes ?? i probably don't have to explain that he had an absolute field day but ! it also blew him up once again , w him developing a new sub-set of fans who now knew him as reality tv karter , not just former prince karter !
on the show i imagine he was the epitome of this gifset , but also always saying the most off the wall quotable things during his confessionals ? and essentially became one of those people you love to hate.
so ever since , he's been wiggling his way into the mainstream influencer / celebrity culture for his own projects ! since he's done numerous modeling gigs for big companies , had small roles on several entertainment networks , and currently is guest starring as a returning contestant for the reality show he starred in !
he wanted to give acting a try but is lowkey terrified no one would take him seriously & they'd only gonna cast him for comedic relief roles. not because he wouldn't like it but like ... he would hate to feel like that's all he can do ??
fitness has always been incredibly important to him , though , and when he moved to america he had a desire to do something of true meaning that would allow him to generate his own income. his big project right now though is trying to open an exclusive gym in hollywood , where celebrities can work out amongst each other without the prying eyes of the public ! it's still in the works , but he's looking for help to get him started up !
so most of his own income has come from public appearances & sponsorships , and since most of that is getting saved up for the gym he's living relatively below his means.
his relationship w his parents has also grown incredibly complicated now , as he hasn't exactly been the model son of the year , and at the age of 33 is still making a life of clubbing and chaos. but more than that , he's been more distant from his parent's lately , as he feels close association always is going to group him as a royal and not as his own person ? so he's been more distant than usual , and he feels guilty as hell , but hasn't done much about it , either.
𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐀 :
I SWEAR i try so hard to keep these short and they never are ... here's to making sure i keep this personality section reeeal concise !
ok so i think i got most the obvious things out the way via his background , but as you can tell this man is a lothario !! full of charisma , heeeavy flirt , adores attention but doesn't know how to keep a relationship to save his life.
honestly though ... smarter than he comes across ! those who first meet him might think he's a himbo , because he can come across as pretty aloof , but well-meaning ! the truth is though , he is smarter than he seems , he just doesn't like to share everything w the public , but wants them to feel like they know everything. by " dumbing down " his image to a party guy he keeps the headlines about him predictable and frequent , but keeps them away from the things that truly matter to him in life.
in the romantic sense , though , he is horrid at relationships bc he a.) he doesn't want one b.) he can't tell he can come across as such an asshole sometimes by being so blunt ?? he doesn't want a relationship , and since he can be self-centered , doesn't understand that other people may ? he also sees himself as a walking red flag after all the news about him so doesn't expect those to approach him to be in the market for something seriously anyways.
part of him hates this , though , because he feels like he can't be taken seriously. numerous brands he's tried working with clown him bc of his background , and he struggles to make true friends in america bc he feels like they're all either clout chasers or just see him as someone to party with !!
that being said , he can come across as emotionally guarded bc he doesn't know who he can trust. but when he trusts you ?? ugh this man is fiercely loyal ! almost to a fault. bc on that token , he can be incredibly protective and will go to war for those he loves.
when you truly get to know him below his exterior , i would say he radiates golden retriever energy. very clingy & affectionate , dotes heavily on those he loves , as well as constantly poking fun of his loved ones in healthy doses.
when they first moved to the us , he had intended to adopt a german shepard who would accompany him on his runs , only to realize he'd said the wrong name when he asked them about the dog rescue. well out came this little yorkie and well .... he felt too bad to complain , and now he has a 8 pound dog named zoe who he accidentally fell in love with and yes she still accompanies him on his runs !!
sidenote i need to remind myself ivy u literally won't have anything else to write w people if you keep typing !! so i'm gonna stop myself here because otherwise i won't shut up !! pls i would love to plot w u all and i'm so excited to be with you MWAH !
𝐖𝐂𝐒 :
costars !! i'm keeping the premise relatively vague on purpose , but at some point in 2021 karter starred in a show similar to too hot to handle !! so i would love it if some of his costars were still around , esp if they had drama on the show ? or alternatively , someone who the show did evil editing on to make it seem like they had a rivalry when they were actually cool w each other !
roomies question mark ?? if this doesn't happen i'll probably have it be canon he lives on his own ! but tbh i could see karter being in the chaos spawn that is a content house ! probably 25+ leaning since idk i don't think he needs to be living up w people too much younger than him efjjefoijeoi ! but i think it could be so fun to have a hype house vibe except like ... they're all a little older and so it gives it a bit of a different vibe !
exes !! you'll soon see i love a messy plot so any sort of ex would be great. bitter , still a little in love , a relationship that never really became a thing , high school sweethearts ( if somehow they were in the uk lol ! )
current fwbs , messy or not ! he has both drama-filled and more tame situationships , so this could go anyway !
the one that got away ? i feel like there's max oooone person who karter truly thought he could love at some point or another. but maybe sh*t happened and they didn't make it out together. would totally love a more angst leaning plot where there could potentially still be lingering feelings but not necessarily !!
if there's any other muses from the uk , i'd also love to see childhood-oriented / long-term connections ! he's also probably much closer to them than most others in hollywood which would give a different side of him for sure !
enemies / frenemies !! i definitely think there's people who don't like karter and i would love to see some muses he has a more tense relationship w !! honestly he's drawn to people who don't like him bc he's ultra-competitive and it makes him want them to like him that much more. but on the other hand , maybe also someone he has a mutual nemesis-sort of relationship w , and who's twitter feuds are constantly making celeb gossip news ?
former tour guide also !! i assume karter's probably been to america at some point before moving , but regardless it was definitely a culture shock not only moving but to no longer be treated as royalty ?? so i think it'd be super fun to have someone who showed him the ropes around ( maybe even hollywood specifically for those who were born into the life ) , and grow close in the process ! we could also do flashback threads for this of their adventures if u would like !
any and everything else. <3 if i can think of anything better , i'll add it , but truly i love nearly everything & totally like just talking it out as well !! never feel afraid to hit me up bc if you don't have an idea , we can plot it out 'till we do !! <3
