#crowley as a pitch

[saglaophonos]

crowley love interest-ing himself was the best and worst thing that could've happened to aziraphale's ego. like take edinburgh for example aziraphale does whatever he wants, follows his protagonist whims, and ultimately Learns Something Important. crowley lets him while showing him unconditional love and just cleans up whatever mess aziraphale leaves behind. it is the perfect dynamic and the best thing that the end of s2 does is blow it up because despite going on for thousands of years it is utterly unsustainable

I've been interested for a while in characters that end up being popular in certain corners of fandom because of the potential they have for being...I'm not sure how to phrase this. So I'm going to go with "Kink Receptacles." These characters may be part of any number of thematically/emotionally resonant ships (and usually are) but in the totality of fic that features them, it's VERY obvious that some of their appeal is that there's a perception that they can plausibly be written/drawn taking part and enjoying a wide variety of kinks.

Does this make sense?

Here are some examples of Kink Receptacles in my opinion:

Loki (Marvel Cinematic Universe) - Magic. Morally questionable at best. For nerds, whatever's going on with Sleipnir and also the Þrymskviða.

The actual focus is Pitch Black (Rise of the Guardians) here but I personally felt including Sandy was kind of important for this. They worked as a pair for the weirder stuff. Anyway, Pitch Black. He's shirtless. Has a British accent. Weird and undefined nightmare powers. He's probably already in your bedroom, under your bed.

Venom (Venom 2018) - Is there anything this alien slime can't do? Well. No, actually. That's the appeal.

Crowley (Good Omens) - I'm using an image from the show but I was reading fic before the show came out and let me tell you, the fact that he's sometimes a snake and "can do really weird things with his tongue" was all that was needed.

The Skeksis, collectively (Dark Crystal) - Yes the ancient evil gross (hedonistic) vulture creatures. No I'm not kidding. Do with this knowledge what you will.

Anyway, I would love to know about other fandoms' Kink Receptacle characters, maybe we can come up with some sort of theory or at least have fun screaming when it's weird.

Good Omens 2 and Wayward Son - A Fan's Commentary on Fandom Reactions

I’m going to start off by saying apologies for any obvious grammatical errors. I am writing purely from the heart here. 

Also, apologies to my Sandman friends. If you haven’t read The Simon Snow Trilogy, this will go over your heads. However, I have been going back and forth on writing this meta since the release of Good Omens 2, and I just finished reading a spectacular meta on queer ships becoming canon by @avelera, which you can find here (read it, it’s brilliant). Anyway, I feel now’s a good time to let out all of my feelings when it comes to Good Omens 2 and how similar it was to reading Wayward Son. 

Simon Snow friends, you all know that Wayward Son is my favourite book out of the trilogy. You also know that this can be considered a controversial take within the fandom. And I don’t mean that in a toxic way, this fandom is one of the more wholesome fandoms I’ve seen; But in the way of like… Wayward Son is itself a polarizing book. 

I say this, knowing full well what went down when Wayward Son was released. Perhaps I had the advantage of not being completely embroiled within the Simon Snow  fandom until after I’d finished reading the book, but I lived on the periphery. I followed Rainbow on Twitter (fuck you, I am not calling it X), I had saved some artwork on Pinterest (before I found out those were stolen, wherein I immediately unpinned them and deleted my fandom folders), and I was excited to get Wayward Son as soon as it came out. So much so that I asked my husband to go to the Indigo near his office and buy it because I wanted to read it right away. 

Friends, I demolished that book within a DAY. 

Then I read it again. And again. And again. 

Then I wrote my first fanfiction in eight years. 

This book changed me. But you all know that. I’ve talked about it often, and that’s not what this meta (Editorial? Opinion piece? Shouting into the void?) is about. 

What I am going to talk about is the amount of pure vitriol this book got once it was released. There was SO MUCH complaining about the book. It was too short! There was no point to it! Why aren’t Simon and Baz having sexy vampire sex? Why aren’t they living together (never mind that this was briefly discussed at the end of Carry On, but go off I guess)? 

And you know what’s even funnier? Within a couple of weeks (it might have even been days, I’m a little fuzzy on timelines) Rainbow announced the third book. We knew, right away, that Wayward Son was meant to be an in-between book! Rainbow, being a fandom person herself, has said time and time again that she had always considered Wayward Son as an in-between book, structured like The Empire Strikes Back within the Star Wars original trilogy. Like think of the in-between books of any series, they are ALWAYS the darkest ones. In order to fully appreciate the win in the end, you need to go through the tough shit. 

What I loved about Wayward Son was it took that idea and spun it. It went all “ok, yeah we dealt with the win, now let’s deal with the aftermath. Only then can we have the makeouts and sexy times these guys deserved.”  (and damn, did Any Way The Wind Blows deliver on that promise).

But I am getting away from myself again. Point is, it was always meant to be an in-between book. There was always meant to be a resolution at the end of the trilogy. But that sure as hell didn’t stop people from outright demanding Rainbow give them the happy ending NOW. Pestering her on Twitter, (not so much on Tumblr) demanding she do this, or do that, or “you better not kill Baz” (even though she has ALWAYS SAID SHE NEVER WOULD) or “they better not break up” (even though, narratively, it was heading in that direction). The closer the book got to release date, the more people complained about how awful Wayward Son was. 

It was really disheartening to see. 

Which is why I got really upset when the SAME THING happened after the release of Good Omens 2. 

(For clarification purposes, because several of my friends have spoken to me about their own personal issues with Good Omens 2. And you are all super fucking valid. I am strictly referring to the amount of anger I saw online because although Aziraphale and Crowley kissed, they didn’t have an immediate happily ever after. I am also speaking of the anger expressed because the season wasn’t wrapped up in a neat little bow.)

Like with the release of Wayward Son, people seemed to have forgotten that season 2 of Good Omens was meant to be an inbetween season. Neil Gaiman has not been shy to talk about that. He has said over and over again that Season 2 was always meant to be a bridge between the Good Omens he and Terry Pratchett wrote together, and the sequel they had been planning. 

What… did you all just forget about that? Do you not know how narrative writing works? 

It’s like people refused to take a step back and breathe for a second and appreciate the season for what it was. A beautiful romantic story (because, IT WAS! Just like Neil said it would be), as well as a lead up into what will be the epic, dramatic conclusion. No, instead people started demanding the happy ending NOW, and getting angry when Neil wouldn’t budge and offer more information (even though he never has before) (funny how people just… forgot that).

It was Wayward Son all over again.

Yeah, I’m not going to lie, I was crushed with the way Good Omens 2 left off. Just like I was so confused when Wayward Son ended out of the blue. You know what I did about that? I wrote fic, I read the book again, and I happily anticipated the upcoming final part that would tie up all the loose ends.

Know what I’m doing to heal after Good Omens 2? I’m looking at gifs, rewatching episodes, laughing at memes and crack, and hoping to all the gods of story writing that Amazon approves of a third season, so that Neil Gaiman can be allowed to finish the story he and Terry Pratchett built together.

It’s become sad to watch this feral hunger from fans demanding immediate gratification, and getting upset when it isn’t the ending or gratification they were expecting. Wayward Son came out after years of Carry On fans having nothing else but the one book. Like I said, I wasn’t part of the fandom then, so I don’t know how fans from 2015 felt upon learning they’d get more Simon and Baz. Same with Good Omens. I only really got into the fandom a few months before season 2 came out. So I don’t know how OG fans felt waiting and waiting and waiting. So maybe I have that going for me as an advantage, that my hunger wasn’t growing more and more feral. 

Then again, I’m now a part of The Sandman fandom, and we’re essentially waiting on Season 2 to start development. And while I’m hoping a few things are tweaked (like Dream and Hob’s relationship), I’d be more than fine if it stays the same as in the comics. And if they decide to go about that in an entirely different way, I’d be fine with that too. You know why? Because I’ve learned to trust the writers of the stories I love not to lead me astray. 

And if I’m unhappy with something –because nothing is ever 100% perfect, and even my favourite stories end up coming short– there are always fanfictions to write, gifs to laugh at, and fandom friends to discuss plots and meta with. 

I may have lost the point of this meta. I tend to do that, following a train of thought that doesn’t always make sense in the end. 

Fandom friends, can we all just agree to take a breath and be thankful of the stories given to us? Can we learn to appreciate the entire picture, and not just a tiny section of it? And for the love of all that is holy, can we learn to be patient and to listen when our story tellers remind us to wait and see? To trust them when they assure us that our characters will have a happy ending, even if they need to traverse a little in the dark to get there?

I sure as hell am, and I hope you will too. 

Gonna tag @carryonsimoncarryonbaz because she was instrumental in encouraging me to write this.

The thing about Crowley is that he already tried fighting* the system and the end result was his fellow rebels making a new system suspiciously similar to the old system with torture pits and demotivational posters in place of the aggressive hypocrisy and kardashiancore interior decorating. And then after that he decided to fight the apocalypse and the apocalypse thwarted itself with minimal involvement required from him. His biggest contribution was fucking up a simple handoff completely accidentally. His apparent belief that it'll all sort itself out without him or it won't and either way his involvement will be largely irrelevant to everyone but himself is pretty well founded. I'm sure by the end of season three he'll have learned a valuable lesson about how admitting that you want to make positive contributions to the world is something you can do on your own terms and not simply an exercise in opening yourself up to god's preordained judgement and hell's torture pits and but he's old and tired and has probably never been kissed let him have a very specific vision for his retirement.

*ok his version of fighting was probably just asking a lot of very annoying questions and then semi-accidentally joining a rebellion.

#good omens #also while I am being a bit rude Aziraphale wasn't exactly like gosh how wonderful I can go back #and fix everything his response as a tea drinker was #there's no coffee in heaven I'm not going until the metatron told him there could be Crowley in heaven and then he got very exited #I don't think he was thinking about the apocalypse in anything but the most general terms until #the metatron mentioned the second coming to him #do not get it twisted he wants to make a difference he's very excited for systemic reform he believes that things can be better! #but like. he got giddy for standing in the light of god's love with his not-boyfriend he was picturing an eternity of Crowley and thinking #that he could live without sushi #and Sondheim if he could have that #he's down horrendous he's just also delusional about his favourite person's feelings and perspective #tbh I think this is interesting specifically because Aziraphale had very much not made his save the world with me pitch yet #Crowley did it in season one #Crowley also knows the angels are gunning hard for the apocalypse again during their big fight but doesn't bring it up #Aziraphale knows in general terms they'll probably try again but it's not really on his mind #come to heaven with me isn't save the world with me and I think that's what he'll be going for in Season three

OK,but what if Baz & Simon watch Good Omens?

What it, after, when Baz uses „alistair fucking crowley“ as a way of cursing, Simon has to actively suppress making a good omens reference (and he succeeds like maybe, 60% of the time)

What if they laugh about the wholesomeness o the good omens universe in comparison to how they‘ve been brought up, but silenlty find comfort in the thought of finding wholesomeness in the weirdest of circumstances?

What if they watch Aziraphale and Crowley, being told to be on different sides but being drawn togehter time after time; against all prejudices finding comfort in eacht other?

What if they watch both having a difficult time finding the rights words for their feelings, but understanding each other anyway?

What if they watch how aziraphale & crowley finally fail to at the end of season 2?

What if Baz watches two immortal beings on screen being happy (mostly)?

Guys this is fun and all but can someone ask for a commission or smt?

Sadly I couldn't scape capitalism and my debts are stacking and job's are not popping

So wtf do you even sell?

I am glad you asked!

I like to draw, and I invested on a wood laser cut machine, and now that I know how It works I can do THIS

These are wood earrings (8€ a pair), I made the drawings, then laser cutted the wood and then painted them. Also varnish them for protection.

I also made them into pendants (8€ the big ones and 6€ de tiny) and keychans (8€ each one)

I am open for commissions of wood things like, "I want (put here what you want) as a keychan", but then I will charge a little bit more for the new drawing.

If the drawing it's very simple, something like this, It will be only +3€

But if it's something more complex like this, the price will be discussed on message. Idk right now how much, but a complex lineart Illustration could be around 25€.

Talking about this Illustration!!

Heheje I have It in a lgbtqia+ rgb led lamp!!

I also do like "traditional" commisions, with:

Simple chibi sketch for 3€ (+2€ for clean lineart, +1€ for colour)

Complex bust sketch for 25€ (could be more if too detailed) (+5€ clean lineart, +2€ colour) (but again depends on the commission)

Yes I know everything it's good omens, sorry (not really).

If you read till here, thank u so much.

I will be posting parts of this "ad" but I really wanted to put everything first in the same post.

And think of buying something, maybe? No? Pls?
