Just Thinking About Wild Blue Yonder And The Welsh Tradition Of Mari Lwyd (the Horse Skull That Visits

Just thinking about Wild Blue Yonder and the Welsh tradition of Mari Lwyd (the horse skull that visits your door), and the Doctor treating the no-things like evil spirits with the salt and then being worried about invoking a superstition at the End of the Universe…

…and then there’s the captain of the ship, literally a horse skull, knocking at the door, invoking this tradition that is shrouded in mystery and is thought to have been originally meant as a way of warding off evil spirits…

Image 1/5: An illustration of Crowley & Aziraphale from the show Good Omens. Aziraphale is contentedly sitting on a tufted chair: one leg crossed, reading a book, scotch in hand. Crowley looms, looking down at him with INTENT behind his eyes. He’s made quite a dent in his scotch. Aziraphale is completely oblivious.

Caption: I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)

Image 2/5: Crowley leans over Aziraphale, his knee on the chair as he sets his scotch aside. Aziraphale looks up and notices him for the first time as he idly turns a page.

Caption: There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)

Image 3/5: Crowley is fully straddling Aziraphale in his chair now, calmly taking off his reading glasses and setting aside his book for him. Aziraphale looks up at Crowley, curious, no longer distracted. He goes to set his drink down.

Caption: You’re like the finish of a novel that I’ll finally have to take to bed (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)

Image 4/5: Crowley leans in to cup Aziraphale’s face, his thumb between his lips. Aziraphale is flustered, blushed. The scotch is dropped to the floor and long forgotten as he tries to figure out where to put his hands.

Caption: You Fascinate Me (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)

Image 5/5: IN FOR THE KILL. Crowley leans in to kiss Aziraphale, one hand on his cheek while the other grips the back of his neck. Aziraphale sits up, leans forward, and gives himself permission to enjoy this. His hands are still tentative, but he’ll figure it out soon enough.

Caption: …So. (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)

I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed You fascinate me so

Two hearts, stupid clothes, you can’t miss him! Go on, scan the whole parsec, he’s not here! God knows where he is right now, but I promise you he’s doing whatever the hell he wants and not giving a damn about me, and I am just fine with that!

#Aziraphale didn’t know he was starving for Crowley’s love until he tasted him.

we definitely do not fucking talk enough about how Crowley was left in charge of the bookshop and within 0.05 seconds he was wearing fucking SLEEVE GARTERS like some kind of goth Aziraphale cosplay
