So, an idea for a Good Omens Human AU hit me and, in true me fashion, it just refuses to leave my brain.

SO

If I were to write a silly, fluffy, strangers-to-friends-to-lovers human AU where Serpent a.k.a Crowley is a rock/pop singer (I was thinking like a cover artist, because I can't go writing thousands of original songs for this guy, that would require too many of my braincells. Though there would be an explanation as to why Crowley doesn't sing original stuff, eventually) and Aziraphale is a much less-known, very shy and private, but jaw-droppingly talented opera singer, known as the "Angel of Eden" given his tendency to perform in said theater; and in which they meet because Aziraphale is dragged to one of Serpent's concerts by his best friend Anathema....

...would...would anybody object to that?...

And of course Crowley has anxiety and self-esteem and such problems behind his demonic, cool-and-aloof on-stage persona, 'cause that's my signature. (I'm not quite sure why, nervous breakdowns and the like just always end up happening in my stories. Should I be worried...?)

But anyway! I'm trailing off!

Would...um...would I...have the fandom's blessing? Or at least one bored soul who'd read it just to pass the time?

...

Have I actually already written a whole chunk of what would be the first chapter? Possibly.

Will I share a little so you can see my vision? Sure!

[For context, this takes place in the midst of Serpent's concert, which Aziraphale is attending with Anathema]

- Right! - he sighed into the microphone - I like rock as much as the next guy, but if I keep shouting like a fucking maniac I'll finish snapping my bitchy little vocal cords in half! - laughter echoed through the crowd, making Serpent smile - So, let's try not to do that and sing something slower, yeah? -

To Aziraphale's surprise, the man circled around the piano and sat down on the stool, placing his hands elegantly on the keys. He played a couple of loose notes and addressed his audience again.

- What should we go for? Hm?- he said softly into the microphone before letting out a quiet chuckle as the crowd erupted in applause - Oh, shut the fuck up! I know exactly what you want, you bastards! - he playfully snapped at them.

Then, his slim fingers began moving on the keys as if they had always been meant to be there, leaving Aziraphale near breathless. After a few notes, he began to sing, and the audience exploded.

You know the distance never made a difference to me.

I swam a lake of fire, I'd have walked across the floor of any sea.

Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen,

And all that we believe,

So I thought you were like an angel to me.

His voice felt like silk against Aziraphale's ears, his mouth agape. With all the drumming and the electric guitars, he hadn't really had the chance to listen to Serpent's voice. And now that he could, he was completely entranced. His eyes were glued to the red-haired man, whose eyes were, in turn, closed in concentration beneath the yellow lenses of his glasses.

Funny how true colours shine in darkness and in secrecy.

If there were scarlet flags, they washed out in the mind of me.

Where a blindin' light shone on you every night.

And either side of my sleep,

Where you were held frozen like an angel to me.

It ain't the being alone. Sha-la-la

It ain't the empty home, baby. Sha-la-la.

You know I'm good on my own.Sha-la-la

Sha-la-la, baby, you know, it's more the being unknown.

So much of the livin', love,

is the being unknown.

So, eh, yeah...thoughts?

[intheviolethour]

Fuck everyone who is blindly believing this bullshit and OPs manipulation of subjective opinions about fiction into "truth" (not to mention out of context "evidence" and blatant lies about phoenix). Fiction is not real life. Everyone on that post has taken one false accusation and turned it into a disturbing moral panic. No critical thinking anywhere.

Migraine Madness & Wriothesley Pulls on Genshin (Blog) (PhoenixWrites)

Carrd ✰ Home ✰ FictionPress ✰ Writing List

Yesterday was quite the adventure for me. At least, near the end of the day. Here I am, thinking that the rest of the day is going to be chill. Then, a major migraine hits me right before I leave work. Let me tell you, migraines are just the worst while driving. This is especially prevalent at night where I had to experience a truck riding behind me with his blaring high-beam lights.

Not to mention, this migraine made me want to puke. This was the dizzy and nauseous kind of migraine. Probably from stress. Probably from me wanting to leave work. Well, probably also because I wanted to pull for the new Genshin character 😅. Oh, Wriothesley. Wriothesley. Don't even get me started on my next fictional character fixation.

I just wanted to go home and pull for him. Luckily, I did. Eventually. Well, after vomiting up a storm. That part wasn't fun. That was how bad that migraine was. Truthfully, I haven't had a stress migraine like that in a long while. Before that was a migraine caused by my shifting teeth from braces, which also wasn't fun.

Weirdly enough, I came home to my mother also experiences similar symptoms. It was if we both caught something. Whether it was the universe giving us a message or coincidental is up to debate. To conclude, life does happen. But also, Wriothesley pulls on Genshin? Yeah, let me talk about that.

For one, love this character. Not going into detail, but love this character. I already wrote tons of short stories related to him and my new character I wrote specifically for Genshin. Anyway, with a waning migraine I voice chatted with some online friends and screen shared my pulls.

Originally, I was going to do my pulls with the whole Discord community server I'm a part of with friends. But then I changed my mind and decided to just do it with my two besties because I was already drained from social interactions (if the migraine was not an obvious indication).

As for pulling Wriothesley, it went better than I imagined. In total I had 120 intertwined. I got C0 in under 20 pulls (which I was not guaranteed because of Alhaitham). Then I won the 50/50 again after pulling over 60, getting C1 Wriothesley and C0 Dehya in the same pull (first image). I was in complete disbelief. I swear, HoYoverse gave me pity after the shitty evening I had. Unrelated note, I'm also in love with his splash art (second image).

Needless to say, my mood was greatly improved afterwards. Had a couple of laughs with my friends too. If anyone plays Genshin or is interested in playing, my UID is located on my Carrd (also in the screenshots of my pulls of course). I'd love to gush over Wriothesley lol. Anyway, I know this kind of post isn't something I do. But I do hope to do more blog-type posts. Knowing me, I'll probably forget to do more.

Not necessarily for opinion posts. But--look, I'll be honest with you. I LOVE most of the tropes you posted about and I write them. Often. I'm primarily a smut writer. So although you've expressed you meant it playfully and apologized (thank you for that), seeing a list of tropes that I use frequently that you immediately click out of or Bug You--do you see how it could be hurtful for me to scroll past that or another writer who also frequently uses those tropes? It's just a common courtesy. Like I super hate a lot of the Steddie interpretations of their scenes and how they write the characters in their fics, but I wouldn't post that opinion on the Steddie tag because I don't want to hurt other writers' feelings. Does that make sense?

Yes! I do see how it could be hurtful, and did, as soon as the first message came through warning me it was hurtful. I even went to a mutual and was like "I need you to tell me, no validation, does this sound mean and pretentious", because I was concerned. So I took it down, because I recognized how it would make me feel if someone wrote a post like that and I wrote those tropes. But by then it was too late; it had hurt people and then other people were so angry they came at me and my own writing for what I'd said. It makes perfect sense. I understood the hurting-people-so-I-should-apologize-and-take-it-down thing. Also I should clarify I do not click out of those things if I see them in fics! They were patterns I'd noticed and I started wanting to read fics that didn't have those patterns, but I shouldn't have made the post. It just wasn't uplifting or even helpful to any writers. Appreciate you letting me know how you feel, personally, too! Communication is great. Never meant to hurt any other writers' feelings, but I wasn't careful. I'll know better next time. Thanks again!

🦋what are you most insecure about when you post a fic?

🌻what makes you want to give up on writing? what makes you keep going?

Thanks for the ask! 😊

🦋what are you most insecure about when you post a fic?

Depends on the fic, but with the ones with a more comedic tone, I usually worry that jokes won't land. One time I also posted a story where I had accidentally copy and double-pasted an edited section smack in the middle of the story, so I am somewhat paranoid about doing that again also.

🌻what makes you want to give up on writing? what makes you keep going?

What makes me want to give up sometimes is the pressure I put on myself to write when I don't really want to, or when I have a lot going on and need to take a break. When stories haunt me, or when the time between WIP chapters starts to become a chasm, I unnecessarily fixate. I have to remind myself that this is my hobby, to give myself grace, and to focus on enjoying what I'm doing instead of feeling obligated to churn something out. What makes me keep going is when people enjoy what I write and tell me so, especially when they point out the bits and pieces that they really liked.

Fic Writer Asks.

Guess who just posted Eternity Chapter 11 on Ao3!!

Here is a little snippet, please do by all means imagine me giggling and kicking my feet like a schoolgirl whilst writing this, because it is in fact exactly how it happened.

It had been almost five minutes since Crowley had promised he’d be done in a minute; and the ticking of the clock had begun to get on the angel’s nerves. He was about to growl at the door again when the knob clicked and turned as it opened at last. Then, the demon walked out of it, and all of Aziraphale’s thoughts froze on the spot. [...]

- Oh. My. God – she said – You literally can’t take your eyes of each other. That’s adorable -

- We are not...! That was not...! - he aimlessly tried to justify himself, getting more flustered by the minute – Oh, just shut up – he finally settled on.

- This is going to be a long night for you, my friend – Eleyn nudged him softly on the shoulder – What with the thin dark duke sauntering around -

- Oh, for...! - Aziraphale’s eyes went wide open in shock at the nickname, cheeks now a deep crimson – Did you have to?! -

- Oh, absolutely – she smirked knowingly at him and walked out of the room, having way too much fun, leaving him to pray his skin would dial back down to its normal shade in the time it took to close the door behind him.

And, as promised, inspo pics! (For context if you haven't read it, the four of them have to go to a formal fundraising event to get their hands in a very important object which is going to be auctioned; so naturally I had to find elegant/formal getups for them, and these are the pictures I used as inspiration for their outfits!)

Under the cut, In order: Muriel, Eleyn (OC, can't tell you who she is because it's a SPOILER for chapter 3), Aziraphale and Crowley

I changed some things, like replacing the tie with a bowtie (Obv, might I add) and losing the flower for Az, or switching some accessories in the others.

BUT!!!!!

I DARE YOU to tell me that that three-piece suit does not SCREAM Crowley at the top of it's fabric-based lungs!

I mean, GOOD. LORD. My brain just kept seeing David Tennant in that and subsequently shortcircuiting in a closed loop until I said "Fuck it, I'm sticking Crowley in this suit"

I MEAN LOOK AT IT

Ahem. Sorry, just needed to get that out of my system. I feel better.

......Damn, the brainrot.

Anyway! What do you guys think about the outfits?

Cool Asks for Fic Writers

9. Do you ever have plans to write anything other than fic?

GOSH I... I want to. I think I'm a pretty decent writer, maybe even good, but my struggle is completing anything longer than 3 chapters. I have several long fic that are sitting and waiting for me to come back but the muse and drive all dried up. And I focus so much more and more easily on fanfic!

I would love to write and publish horror, I think I'd be good at it, but I can't *Finish* things, can't follow through from start to finish, and that is, unfortunately, required. It is a 'Maybe One Day' goal ♥

4. Are there any other fic writers you admire? If so, who and why?

God, so many... The current writer I'm googa over is staywiththething on Ao3. I've only been reading One of his fics, as it seems he's deleted the rest since I've been told he wrote Outlast fiction before the current Renfield works. But his prose is very ensnaring and I'm a sucker for it, and he captured character voices very well and I'm a smidge envious of the ability.

Another is Stranger Things writer AlternateDoom, again I fell for their prose and characterization (you'll see that is my weak point!)

And a third shoutout for writer LeftHandedRick who does Rick and Morty fic primarily, and who does such great world building and character interaction ♥

Universe's Voyage - Abadestres I

Notes

Another practice short story I wrote the other day for my character, Prince Abadestres. I hope everyone enjoys it.

A nebulous haze stretches over the vacancy. Alongside the misty paths, pools of glittering dust darts the transient plane. An arch of marble and stone towers over the existence. Beneath, the lone Prince backs into a pillar, humming a soft tune. The silence was rather unnatural, for he thought the whispers of the universe would clamor his mind. Perhaps, it was finally peaceful enough to write a story? Without the distractions and responsibilities of watching over a loud universe, it would be possible.

But it was strange. Where were the sounds now? Did the universe fall asleep? Such a thing would be impossible for time was fluid and ever changing and always turning. Perhaps he was dreaming again. Dreaming about the quiet beginnings of a universe. He could see it now. The light escaping the darkened void in a puddle before him.

It was a replay of the universe's creation. There it was, the Abadastarix laying off its layers of light. The light being stripped like a snake's skin. The god formed into the Golden Eagle. A fabled reminder of creation. Right before the Prince's eyes in a dream. How he could interpret said creation and mold it into his own. From the Eagle's will and grace, the Prince's own thoughts could spark creation too.

Abadestres rose above the lustrous pond. He lifted his arm and swiftly swayed his hand. The gesture erased the scene of creation with ripples of sparkling purples and blues obscuring it. For as long as this dream lasted, he would imagine another world. An escape from his troubles.

This world contained no other beings. It would only be for him and him only. Though if there was another he could fall for, he would surely allow them in. Further, if he could break the glass of the Astrolabe's barriers and run to the planet of acid and rain he would save his sister. They would run and fall into this undisclosed creation of his own world.

Through this world, creating their own definition of an odyssey. The process would be long and arduous as creation did take time. The Daybreak Council would eventually revert his efforts. With Patherex being the sole ruler of planets, the Prince's efforts would not last.

But he could dream. And dream some more. After all, his sole existence was dreaming. If not in the reality of the Astrolabe or the confines of Daybreak's wishes, he would sit and observe the universe. Or write stories of said universe. Dreaming and dreaming.

What were the universe's mortals like? Would there be anyone that would comprehend the Prince's gaze? Or would there be at least one that understood him?

Abadestres let go, lowering his arm. He fell back instantaneously, allowing himself to free fall. But as he did, the dream scene disappeared. The misty pink background faded into blackness. The nebulous, purple haze that stretched out into the ether dissipated. He closed his eyes, allowing the darkness to take him.

"If I could run", The Prince mumbled.

A fluffiness surrounded him. It covered him up like a blanket. Soft and tender. This fluff felt more like feathers. It soothed his soul, reminding him of his Phoenix ascension. Those years of the universe where he transformed, free falling as a Phoenix into the endless void of space. He loosened his grip and allowed his body to succumb to it.

"I would run far, far away. Hide at the edge of the ever growing universe, constantly chasing it as it expanded", Abadestres finished.

With one breath in and then out, he opened his eyes. The green auroras in the sky, coupled with the endless clash of simulated black holes, their tendrils taking in the star dust. The ceiling of his celestial room. Back to the true reality of the Astrolabe.

Hey dear—the tagging idea is that when you scroll, you’re looking for…positive content. Like if you’re looking on the Joe Quinn tag to reblog pretty pics and come across a post that says “I hate Joe Quinn, he’s an awful actor” even though the content is technically Joe Quinn, it’s considered rude to post hate in the tag. It’s a very tumblr-only thing. Like if i were to complain about fic tropes I did not like, I’d def post it on my blog because I enjoy bitching, but I wouldn’t tag it in case I hurt someone’s feelings. Does that make sense?

Hellloooooo- Who would hate Joe Quinn, first of all, scary times- That does make sense, thank you, yes. Still can't find a gif of someone sitting and listening and nodding amiably.

So then I wouldn't tag any opinion posts just in case?
