Good Omens, anyone? [No spoilers!]

[cinderlite]

Has anyone else watched the newest season of Good Omens yet?

My partner and I watched it separately the day of release, but came together to talk about it after. We've been roleplaying it ever since! It's my newest hyperfixation. I'm absolutely obsessed, and it's all I'm thinking about. It's so nice to have a new hyperfixation again. I missed the motivation that comes with it. I feel like I could do just about anything!

While my partner takes a small break from the roleplay, I'm working on a fic for it (so look out for that! soon!). The fic I'm working on is about Aziraphale's Fall from grace, and the aftermath of it. 😇 I've got about 1,000 words for it so far, but I should finish it some time within the next few days (outside of appointments I have).

It's going to be a relatively short fic, but that's mostly because I'm testing the waters with it. I'm still figuring out what my Aziraphale and Crowley are like and tweaking them until they sound just right.

I'll admit, it's weird to have a ship that's so wholesome. Usually, I can only get into the enemies to lovers dynamic and while that's not wrong for Aziracrow, that aspect is already explored in canon. There's no need to rehash that.

Anyway, I would love to have someone to talk to about Good Omens! It's so good, and I just want to scream about it some more.

I'd seen fic/art of them before (around when season one came out) but more like haha crack art than anything and then Neil canonized it, that absolute madman. He's terrific. Their song IS lovely, I grew up listening to a lot of 50's tunes and that was one of my favorites so it was kind of fun that it was actually plot relevant.

SAME! Killed me dead and then left me to go through the five stages of grief, and about twenty stages of denial. I can't want to see how the fandom deals with it once we've had more time to write fic.

Omg congrats! That's very exciting, I can't wait to read it! :D Be prepared for a potential onslaught of comments. I'm used to writing for dead fandoms, and I posted a good omens Drabble a few days back and just like. Comments? Kudos? What are these foreign things?

[cinderlite]

That's so funny! I'd never heard their song before despite listening to music from the 50's (I was raised by my Grandparents), and I wish I had. It would make it more meaningful. My favorite oldies music is like... Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers. Anyway, it's a great ship. I see the potential now. My third eye has opened!

EXACTLY. I am eagerly anticipating the fic that will come out of that scene. I was devastated, and I need closure or fix-it fics. I might even write one myself!

Omg? Really, it sounds like posting in the HP fandom (Snarry is very popular) and getting plowed with comments and kudos. I'm eagerly anticipating it. Also, I finished my fic! You can find it here. It got a little away from me, but I'm proud of it!

You said you posted a Good Omens drabble, right? I'd love to read it!

[whoopsitswhump]

Interesting! While it's not usually my go-to, the 50's has a lot of really great songs. Unchained melody is such a good song! I'm not sure I have a favorite tune from that era. Pshh, my third and fourth eyes have been opened. I'm like, all eyes. And they're all crying after that last scene.

Dude, same!

I've never posted in the HP fandom, but it seems awful large and intimidating. Right on, I'll read it in a bit! :D So hyped.

Indeed I did, here is a link!

[cinderlite]

It really is a good song! It's so pretty, and it makes me happy. I have a couple other favorite songs from that era, but that's because I heard them on my Grandparent's jukeboxes growing up. I have fond memories.

RIGHT. MINE ARE AS WELL. All the eyes, all the weeping. I was not expecting that, but in retrospect it makes sense. Season 2 is the middle of the series, so of course it would all go to hell.

The HP fandom is really fun to post in. Makes me happy that so many people still adore Snarry like I do, haha. It's fair, though, to call them intimidating. It's a really zealous fandom.

Thank you! I can't wait to hear what you think!

THANK YOU. I'll read it and leave a comment!

[whoopsitswhump]

Same here :)

And it'll all stay in hell for the foreseeable future ;-; Oh well, it's a good thing I like suspense and horrible amounts of angst.

I've never gotten into snarry, but I can totally see the appeal! It's a fun ship if you think about it. Great for darkfic >:)

Just left a comment! I think the breeding kink awakened something in me...

Thanks so much :))

SAME. I have Good Omens brain rot right now. I've spent the entire day downloading obscene amounts of fanart. Both on my computer, on my twitter, and on my tumblr. It's EVERYWHERE. I can't shake it, and tbh I don't want to.

OH MAN, Snarry was my first HP ship. I found a Severitis (where Snape is a parent or parent figure to Harry) fic called "Yet Another Snape Saves Harry from the Dursley's" and it got me into the fandom. I started reading the book after that. Then "A Bittersweet Potion" (it's about how Harry's animagus form is a cat and he is adopted by an unaware Snape) got me into Snarry. I looooooove that ship, and you're right, it's great for Dark fic or just Dead Dove concepts in general. 👏

HAHA, I'm glad to hear it!! Breeding kink is great. I love it (and the idea of Crowley being pregnant!).

You're welcome!

[whoopsitswhump]

Yesss, the brainrot is so real! I've been prowling the Tumblr tag like a madman looking for fic and art and meta ect. Honestly not a bad way to spend an afternoon because I am getting SUCH serotonin.

Neat! The fandom isn't really my forte, so it's cool to hear about it :3

Yes and YES :p

[cinderlite]

Right? It's been crazy. Some of my favorites (that devastate me) are One, Two, Three, Four, and a picker-upper five. Also this Zero.

That's so fair! We all have different preferences, and that's just how it works!

[whoopsitswhump]

That second one holy moly man, that's heart wrenching. I mean, all of them except that picker-upper (so cute!) are, but OUCH

[cinderlite]

SOB, I know, right?! Almost all of them hurt, but they do so in such a cathartic way. I relish it.

I'm so glad you liked them!!

[whoopsitswhump]

I am suffering and I am HERE for it :p

[cinderlite]

That is a fucking mood! Have you seen this one yet? One, and Two.

[whoopsitswhump]

Omg I haven't, thank you for sharing! The Bentley is so pretty covered in flowers.

[cinderlite]

You're so welcome!! ♥
