Just finished the first draft of Ch.10 of my Good Omens fic All Roads Lead Back. This chapter is a bit different because it's mostly backstory of a new OC. I thought of the idea like a month ago and I knew exactly how I was going to introduce her. I'm hoping to have it locked and posted w/in the next couple of days. So, here's a little excerpt:

Once upon a time an Angel was sent to a small town about an hours' drive outside of London to monitor and protect the local squirrel population until further notice. Why? Well, the longer she remained there, the more she suspected literally no reason at all besides Gabriel’s desire to show the Almighty what a tight ship he was running. Everyone occupied with tasks and missions. Or maybe the pompous dick just didn’t like her. A squirrel or two occasionally stopped to socialise, but mostly they just squirrelled about in proper squirrel fashion and paid her no mind.

Her only escape from the boredom was gardening and music. When weather allowed, she would fling open the doors and windows of her small cottage and blast Fleetwood Mac, Bowie, Blondie, or whatever, whilst she tending to flowerbeds. Generally no one complained about this habit of hers because the homes in her village had a decent amount of space between them, so it wasn't like she was blowing out anyone’s eardrums. Besides, they all appreciated her taste in music. With one exception.

. . . “The Sex Pistols were not well received,” the Angel says with a giggle as Aziraphale and Crowley listen to her story with tingling curiosity. “So I removed them from my gardening soundtrack rotation right away.”

“That was very polite of you,” Aziraphale says with a smart nod, quite certain he also would not appreciate the musical stylings of a band called The Sex Pistols.

. . . One day the Angel was weeding between the peonies and primrose when a handsome young man who often roamed about with his dog wandered over to the fence around her little patch of the world. “No music today?” He asked with a gentle smile.

“Nah. I need to replace the needle on my record player, it scratched up Miles Davis pretty bad the other day. But I probably should have replaced it ages ago, so. Joke’s on me.”

“Bummer.” The man’s smile went from gentle to shy. “I, uh, when I take Pippin out for walks I usually go by this place just to hear what you’re playing. You have killer taste.”

“I get that a lot.” Something about the man’s smile made her insides feel warm.

“Have you heard of Cyndi Lauper? She’s pretty new.”

The Angel flipped through her mental catalogue and came up empty. “Ummmmm, I don’t think so.”

“You should check her out. She’s got, like, the most unique voice.”

“I’ll add it to my list.” Ask his name! She shouted at herself with a bizarre urgency she didn’t quite understand. “Sorry, I didn’t get your name.”

“Allan. And I already know your name-not in a creepy way!” He yelped the moment he said the words and heard how they sounded. “But, you’re, y’know the Garden Music Girl. You’re kinda . . . known. Around here. In general.”

The Angel didn’t know what to say. She bit the corner of her lip as her insides got even warmer and she wondered what Allan’s favourite food was. If it’s pizza I know a great spot, I could take him there. And maybe a pint at Salty Dog if he-

“I am so stupid!” Allan interrupted her inner dialogue. “Christ, what an idiot! I can get you a great deal on a new needle. Or hell, a whole new player if you want. My family runs a record shop in London.”

. . . . “Zoe!” Aziraphale cuts off the story with a sharp gasp when he makes the connection, then turns to Crowley. “Darling, this is Maggie’s mother!”

Crowley tilts an ear closer to Aziraphale, wondering if perhaps he misheard. “How’s that?”

A fond expression washes over Zoe’s face as she thinks back on her mortal days. “It took me a minute to realise I was in love with Allan but as soon as I did, unplugging from Heaven so we could grow old together and have kids was the easiest decision I ever made.”

“And as a human, you never . . .”

“Nope.” Zoe shook her head. “I had no idea you were an Angel. To me you were just the sweet, quirky guy who owned our building."

Moon-kissed child of Hircine: / Accept mine proffered blessing do / So thou wilt never flee or rue. / From faun to fear-bringer, / Nadir to night-singer / Even the odds and return those who huntest thou to basest parts / Hearts and all.

My Skyrim Dragonborn, Vakna True-Thunder shortly after turning an unlucky band of highwaymen into a three-course meal. Wanted to make an illustration alluding to her history with lycanthropy and the Daedric Prince of Prey over the course of a decade. After all, where is the sport in hunting an unarmed prisoner on the run--a young messenger for the Jarl of Windhelm himself who had yet to see even her sixteenth winter? The pursuing Dominion jailers and hounds never had any intention of playing fair, blood moon or not, so Hircine offered the desperate girl the power to even these odds and make his forest a proper hunting ground once more. And in years since, she has certainly never let this power go to waste.

#please reblog and tag y'all this took like 12+ hours over the course of three days to finish #and I'm quite proud of how it turned out #plus I always love an excuse to draw Vakna shirtless lmao #skyrim #elder scrolls #skyrim oc #elder scrolls oc #TES oc #skyrim dragonborn #werewolf art #female werewolf #hircine #tesblr #also I know I abuse the blue/red color scheme constantly #but it just looks so cool #plus those are very much her colors #my art

"she was my best friend in the whole wide universe. i absolutely love her. oh. mmm. do i say things like that now? she's so ordinary, she's brilliant." currently going absolutely feral over donna noble, temp from chiswick, making the same choice over and over again, and holding the doctor to his mark over and over again. donna noble who, in the fires of pompeii, made that choice to sacrifice pompeii for the world --- who saw her world burn around her just as the doctor saw gallifrey burn around him

donna noble who made the doctor save just someone. who still chose to be kind and brave and human and loving even in her grief and heartbreak -- donna who crashes back into the doctor's life for a third time and shows him through her choices that this is the doctor. not a god, just someone ordinary. someone scared and flawed and fallible, but someone who ultimately tries anyway. someone who despite and in spite and because of the broken world still cares enough to try and save it

and the doctor. the doctor, who doesn't know who he really is anymore, who spent the past hundreds of years without donna -- the doctor, who said virtue is virtue in extremis. without witness and without reward -- he finally tells her, no.

no, this isn't who the doctor is. this is who donna turned the doctor into. this is who he is because of her. and it's finally time to make amends

#the doctor is SO PROUD of the DoctorDonna #because she's the best parts of humanity and the best parts of time lord #and i'm quite sure that the doctor holds himself to HER standards #it's both so jarring and welcome to see this new doctor be so OPEN and honest with his affection #this was supposed to be silly gifset but watch me cry over them for the next week #doctor who #the star beast #my edits #doctor who spoilers #donna noble #dwedit #dailydw #catherine tate #david tennant #tvedit #i have ISSUES with the “letting go” because i'm not ready #to let go of a decade worth of trauma from s4 #but akdhdhdhdhk this scene and its parallels to pompeii has me by the throat

Athazagoraphobia:

The intense or irrational fear of being forgotten, or of forgetting someone or something.

#She broke that promise she made to never forget her.#To the point where she didn't even recognize her when she was brought back.#This is a mistake that she will never forget or repeat again.#You can say that it wasn't her fault. that timeline shenanigans were involved.#But that doesn't matter. She remembered. and then she forgot.#Whether or not it's her fault for breaking her promise is irrelevant.#It was her promise. and she broke it.#Chasing the Sunrise AU #CTS AU #my art #Really quite proud of this one.#I'm not proud of how it took 4 hours to make but whatev.

After fleeing from Monster's Basin to a new settlement by a river in a temperate forest, Buckeye and Magic Man's sapling child is safely planted. Now we can breathe easy as we build a new home for ourselves from the ground up.

First things first, our beloved T'au baby is now our beloved T'au adult! Happy birthday Pro!!

She has matured with the 'heavy sleeper' trait, which means she can now share a room with restless, nyctophobic Bella without issue. As soon as we can, we'll get Euclid to make some proper T'au fatigues and armour. I am going to enjoy drawing tall, lanky, air-caste T'au shenanigans.

The first two randomly generated names for the settlement were "Isk", which sounded too much like "Ick", and "Wessleton", which made me think of that annoying guy from Disney's 'Frozen'.

Fortunately, the third option was "Loyalty's Meander," which was very nice and thematic. After all, loyalty drove us to abandon Monster's Basin and come here, and the new settlement is set on a pretty meandering river—it's the perfect name!

My mother refuses to watch any of the videos coming out of Palestine, and she refuses to read the details of the horrors happening there.

I tell her she has to - people are being slaughtered, we cannot look away even for a moment. She says she can't handle it. She says she'll break down, and then she'll be of no use to anybody.

Today she managed to raise £700 for Medical Aid Palestine, while I was too busy crying.

Maybe my mum still knows best.

#i do still think it's important to watch the videos though #palestinians are begging us to listen and pay attention and i think ignoring it for your own comfort is shitty and cowardly #but. something to think about i guess #how to maximize your help. sometimes that is stepping back #my mums quite excessive with it though like normally she refuses to engage with the news at all #the only reason she has any idea whats happening is because i tell her every day #idk i'm very proud of my mum though ig and the point is everyone can help in different ways #gaza #palestine #israel #free palestine #ceasefire now #mental health #world news #politics #god i feel like i am going crazy

Red Eyes and Evil Time, practically the same thing right (Patreon)

#Doodles #Villainsona #Just Desserts #Sona double feature!#Red Eyes and Evil Time /are/ different for the record lol #There's overlap and they're both eye details but they're different #Mmm Red Eyes feels so niiiice <3 And I've been pacing myself so it's Just Red Eyes!#No red shines :) Which can happen even on Red Eyes #In fact it's probably more common - the red shines on Blue Eyes was something of an oddity #No one knows the lore except me I'll explain someday lol #For now it's just fun to be in Red Eyes! :D And the occasional Evil Time as well lol - all the overlaps!#I somehow accidentally made a like?? Cotton Candied Popcorn themed outfit for Eli for the first one lol that wasn't my intention #I mean it's cute I'm not about to fight it lol I'd love for my sonas to have other clothes inspired by each other haha #Eli's eyes are still quite fun to draw as well haha those bright pops of colour - Red Purple or Blue they're all so stark and shaped #Back to their classic feminine outfit good for them uwu #Silly lad #They're also still a scientist first and foremost - it's all chemicals there's gotta be a way to recreate it externally!#Local vampire scientist creates mood stabilizers more at 7 lol #I'm quite pleased with the three-red two-purple one-blue gradient as well hehe - the decay! :D I like it as a visual #Charm tiiime <3 <3 Happy Charm time in Evil Time! Usually better than bad mood Evil Time lol - at least for those around her #Still chaotic to be in it haha - but happy chaos is happy! Lol #Again more fun with eyes the light bounce in the one where she's holding the melt is so cute and looks so nice on my paper too <3 #I had a silly comic idea for her for the next time I get into Red Eyes as well - if I remember lol #Big Love is hearts! It just makes sense #Also I am Really proud of the cleaning job I did on that last one lol - from original to this? Night and day ngl #Guess that goes to show how little cleaning I do on-page lol #For some I do! Others...#Still thinking up outfits - you can probably just make out ''Hero Charm'' in her hair lol trying to think around different themes #Something that could become something else! Add or subtract an element and it changes the ''meaning'' of the outfit #Kinda like her initial caped design that Kaiein rejected hmmm

Squirreldaisy ivypool and Dovewing?

MAN these were so so fun to design..... the black ear tips and manes run strong in the fire fam btw

I already drew them in these poses/with these expressions, but now that I think about it... I think they'd maybe be a little less like how they are in canon. I think Daisy and Squilf would be very protective of them, and not allow anyone to take away their happiness. the whole ordeal ofc would still be stressful, but I'd like to believe that they maybe would be a little better off.

These are doodles for the species guide, but I like them enough to post them alone (～￣▽￣)～

The twins!! Finally have a face to their names..

I should formally introduce them on their refs, but I'll put a little info here! These are Atomus (left) and Evelyn (right) Cogitonis. They're the first two Pseudo-Humans created by Eregarde Cogitonis.

They do not like Eregarde (❁´◡`❁)

A version with a closeup of their eyes!

#art #oc #original character #digital art #my art #leel's art #Now I gotta draw their deity forms..#I have ideas for Evelyn but zero for Atomus so we'll see how that goes #Anyway.. them!! I am quite proud of them! I remember being hesitant with adding them as major characters #to the story but they work really really well #Plus we already have Alice (who was created in a lab as well but unlike these two is or was a real human)#and Demi and Pea were also lab-made!#I don't have Atomus' fancy outfit planned yet so he gets to wear lab merch for now #These two can and will punch you in the face and it will hurt #Atomus is a bit more docile than Evelyn but he can match her energy #Yes they braid each other's hair #They have Romirr's hair colour... I'm not expecting anyone to notice but I think it's neat...#Atomus Cogitonis #Evelyn Cogitonis
