You for real are just doing all the side quests in between atws (not that I’m complaining)

i promise i’m gonna ACTUALLY focus on that one next 😂 starting to feel way too guilty about how long it’s been and leaving it unfinished for so long is just stressing me out now

Did you ever have different names for any of ur fics? Like was bnf always gonna been called that or did it have a different title at some point?

oh yeahhh i can be really indecisive sometimes! titles are hardd. but funnily enough, Big Name Feelings was that from the start, since i called it 'bnf au' in my head for so long, i thought it would be funny if the acronym for the fic was bnf as well. so that worked out perfectly

i ummed and awed over ATWS for a while before zita came up with "and they were streamers". i thought about calling it "everything in moderation" (the title of the first chapter) and brainstormed a few dozen others, that i trashed/forgot almost immediately.

flawless was also "almost flawless" for most of the time i worked on it (hence the "he said, almost flawlessly" drops in the first chapter hahah) then i thought about changing it to "flawless, but" but meg suggested just "flawless" in the end 💪 at the very start i also considered some other lines from Helium, like "sunflowers in the rain", but it was the "flawless but for that one thing" lyric that got me so attached to the idea, i wanted to reference it somehow.

editor au is another one that is currently a toss up between two titles, i'll let you know how that goes 😂

being a writer and an artist is actually fucking wicked because i can write aziraphale into a cute outfit and think "GOD what i would give to see that" and realise "abt 2 hours actually"

and then! i get to see it!!

Worst of all, it was cold all the time, which meant Aziraphale was rugged up all the time, looking totally soft and pink-cheeked and cheery in his never ending range of thick knits, which made Crowley want to scream into the nearest pillow and/or bite his own hand off.

#crowley pov in ATWS is fucking suffering. can you blame him #look at this angel #good omens #gomens #ratwips #rat draws #aziraphale

hey just hopping in to say im going through a bit of a sore spot rn (it’ll get better, its just rough currently) and your fics coupled with your art have brought me such an immense amount of comfort and escapism. i hope you know how appreciated and important everything you do is. thank you

sending you all the love in the world!!! 🥺

please have this abandoned cuddle wip for more comforts

fuck i’m having an EMOTION realising the difference between streamer!aziraphale and bnf!aziraphale

i was like WOW it’s so different drawing this atws cartoon and seeing how bitchy and confident he looks next to the bnf version… why does bnf!aziraphale feel so timid and baby? they’re both grown, independent men with steady jobs and self indulgent interests, and yet…

it’s. it’s crowley. even though neither aziraphale is in a (real) relationship with crowley yet, atws aziraphale has still lived with him for 16.44 years and had him as an integral part of his life, whilst bnf!aziraphale is barely 6 months into a very slowly growing friendship.

crowley’s already imbued so much confidence in him just by being around. by loving him.

drunk dress meet cute plz? 👀💕

omg just remembered i got this one from a writing prompt tumblr but it won't leave my brain 😭 possibly a pwp because i'm so stuck on the prompt i can't think of how to flesh it out more

aziraphale and crowley are neighbours, never actually spoken tho (crowley is very Severe, don't make eye contact)

but one night, far too late to be decent, crowley knocks on aziraphale's door. he looks an absolute mess, hair all fucked up and mascara only half removed, he's wearing satin pyjama bottoms underneath a super tight rucked up little dress. and he is completely breathless.

but before aziraphale can even ask if he's okay ("do you need me to call someone????? the police? your mum maybe???") crowley's like "I CANNOT GET THIS ZIPPER UNDONE, PLEASE."

anyway he'd invite him inside out of the cold, wrangle the jammed zipper down the back of the dress, probably near-discorporate from every inch of skin that's slowly revealed until crowley just whips the whole bitch off when it's undone. maybe sits down while aziraphale offers him some water and something to eat, but by the time aziraphale comes back, he's fallen asleep on the couch, and gets the mercy/mortification of waking up shirtless at the hot angel's place

feeling parasocial about crowley’s hands 👁️👁️

#ratwips #bnf au

[mrghostrat]

ceo / assistant au is set in the 90s btw

i gave crowley a blackberry before googling that the first one came out in 2002 😔 BUT. pager crowley. palm pilot crowley. deciphering and organising aziraphale’s slew of handwritten daily planners. high waisted as fuck jeans that make azirpahale’s brain screech like a dial up modem the first time he sees crowley in casualwear. aziraphale’s white 1995 bentley that crowley chauffeurs him around in 👏 do you see my vision

#ceo au #ratwips

[mrghostrat]

i just spent nine and a half straight hours working on the bnf finale art. and i’m not even done 👁️👁️

hope you like it

#ratwips #it’s coming along very very very good #i got so much more done than i thought i would #bnf au

[mrghostrat]

it's gonna take a while to recover creatively and find my flow, but!! 467 words of atws written 😭💛 the ice has successfully broken

[mrghostrat]

Oh god I can totally see why PA/CEO is so hard to choose between.. on one hand you have crowley biting ppl who try to make aziraphale a doormat (so sweet! he's a NICE asshole! just don't say that to his face lmao) and on the other you have aziraphale dragging crowley out of his golden girls marathons to Get. Things. Done. (sassy angel! most ppl see crowley as Cool while aziraphale has and will have to listen to him yell at his plants then secretly take them to a neighbors house again!!)

GOD. THE BRAIN WORMS ARE CONTAGIOUS. Maybe you could take the dynamics of one and put it in another au??? Like uhhh

* bodyguard crowley from Version A

* um. okay that's all I can thinks of- WAIT. WAIT AAIT WAIT.

* AUTHOR CROWLEY, EDITOR AZIRAPHALE, VERSION B DYNAMICS... consider. Consider consider consider. 👀👀👀
