Theangelwithawand - Angel With A Wand

Appreciation post for all the beginner artists who work hard despite the AI ​​looming over us. You are fabulous. You are precious. Keep up the hard work, you are needed.

Okay, so I’m working on Part 4 of Domestic Burlesque, it’s just that it covers 1964-1966 (if you know you know). Obviously, it’s going to end happily, but it gets pretty dark. So, I decided to post a little bit of fluff first. Please let me know what you think!

Good Omens S2 Trailer Thoughts:

- What’s going on with Crowley and Aziraphale? Where was Crowley? Why is Crowley so nervous. Why is Aziraphale so chilly? Maybe this takes place later in the series than it appears? Wait! I got it! Crowley went into hibernation during lockdown remember? Maybe that's actually canon?!

- Aw! Crowley takes off his glasses to be more open with Aziraphale.

- I liked the bookstore set better last season.

- Michael…your hair is so awful.

- Poor Muriel. How did no one tell her about Crowley? How does she not know what Gabriel looks like? There’s literally a poster of him in Heaven. Maybe by this point she’s already working with Aziraphale and Crowley.

- Um, Mr. Gaiman have you been spending time on ao3? Because um…the whole amnesiac/ Gabriel stuck with Aziraphale for some reason on Earth thing is familiar…

- Poor Crowley. He’s just not having a good time. I wonder if that lightening is coming at him or from him. The latter is kind’ve angelic…

- “You know what it’s like, when you don’t know anything at all, and yet you’re totally certain that everything would be better if you were just near one particular person?” Ahhhhh! My heart!

- Aziraphale thinking back to 1945 and Crowley during that line. Ahhhh! Az is still so in denial it’s hilarious.

- Ooh, Crowley in heaven! I wonder if we’ll get to see how it feels for him to be back.

- Crowley’s angel disguise is so awful! What is his hair? 😂

- Tennant and Sheen together again!

The mystery plot is great and everything, but I’m here for Crowley and Aziraphale adopting Muriel and watching their found family create chaos…

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!

Season 2 Spoilers:

The only way for this to be fixed is for Aziraphale to be put in one last, very dramatic “Crowley and/or Humanity vs Heaven” situation.

And he chooses Crowley. He chooses their side. Bonus points if he does it instinctively.

Maybe we bring it around to the “I’ve never killed anything” bit from season one.

Neil and fic writers feel free to use this. Just give me credit. 😂

And when this happens, it’s gonna feel so good.

And it better end in their garden in the South Downs.

Head canon: When Midge and Lenny get married, he has the numbers from her fortune cookie engraved on her wedding ring. She has “I’ll always bring my umbrella” engraved on his.

This head canon comes features in “Two Comics Walk Into Temple…” part of my “Domestic Burlesque” series on ao3. Please go check it out and review!

On Crowley’s Misunderstanding

Good Omens Season 2 Spoilers Below:

In episode 2 when Crowley asks Nina about Maggie she says, “Not a thing. Definitely. We’re just friends. Actually we barely know each other.”

This is verbatim what Aziraphale used to say about Crowley. And Crowley, who misinterprets the understanding between himself and the angel, says “Got it.”

He doesn’t get it. Yeah, it’s an excuse but it doesn’t mean “this is the person I’m deeply in love with, I just can’t say it”. It means, “We have some kind of deep connection but we haven’t worked it out yet”.

And Crowley just doesn’t seem to get that heaven is still a big part of Aziraphale.

He rejects Aziraphale too. Aziraphale asks him to go to Heaven with him and Crowley says no. And we the audience understand why, but Aziraphale doesn’t.

They’ve clearly never talked about any of this before.

Plus, throughout the entire season, he doesn’t seem to consistently know where Aziraphale’s loyalties are.

He says “the existence I have carved out for myself.”

Aziraphale is the one to say “I thought we carved it out for ourselves”.

Crowley straight up says that Aziraphale only calls when he’s bored, when he needs to gush about his good deeds, or if he needs something.

After meeting Muriel, Crowley says, “I don’t know how your lot have stayed in charge all this time.”

My point is dolphins that they need to communicate!!! Both of them are at fault for what happened, and yet how could they possibly know any better?

wait whats wrong with chatgpt :(

just the minor little issue of it actively killing the planet, draining the creative marrow from everything it touches, and posing an existential threat to workers, responsibility, national security, and, oh yeah, privacy.

imagine a machine that not only guzzles electricity but also flattens human expression into soulless, regurgitated slop while quietly replacing entire industries. and let’s not forget. every word it generates is a tiny little middle finger to the concept of accountability. so, yeah. nothing major. just a slow-motion apocalypse wrapped in a shiny, user-friendly interface

What even. I’m just… it’s YOUR book. YOUR fantasy world. Aren’t you at least… interested in it?

Regeneration and Character Arcs:

It’s a popular fan theory that Ten is a regeneration made for Rose. I have mixed feelings about the idea that he’s ’incomplete’ without her.

There’s also something kind of sweet about Nine wanting to become the pretty boy he thinks she likes or (if allowing himself to be self-loathing) deserves. It’s only sweet because he literally has to change.

The Stone Rose novel confirms that Ten’s accent in-universe specifically came from Rose. It’s a less extreme version of him being made entirely for her. Plus, it’s a cool sci-fi exploration of how humans pick up accents after long, continuous exposure. A very alien way to retain a quirk of human nature.

There’s something nearly Shakespearean and so acutely human about Ten’s arc. He loves, loses, grieves, heals, and makes new connections. He moves from ‘I exist for Rose’ to ‘I miss Rose and wish I could exist with her but I’m also allowing myself to care about these other people.’ Then he loses them. It drives him to unthinkable darkness, and by the time he claws his way into the light, it is time for him to die.

Is that arc any more impactful if he’s literally created for someone?

I don’t know.
