So what’s the deal with queer media about middle aged gay men falling in love, also having a lesbian couple that is supposed to be a parallel of the main couple

That trope where ship AB parallels an older ship CD but A parallels C's aesthetic but D's actions/role in the dynamic and B parallels D's aesthetic but C's actions/role in the dynamic

That's the good shit right here. More of this please

Here comes my Good Omens animatic <333

Song is "Boats & Birds" by Gregory & the Hawk!

Nina calling Maggie an Angel was actually the sweetest thing and I need them back in season 3

i love tagging good omens characters "go [character name]" bc it's like i'm saying "go crowley!", "go nina!", "go maggie!", "go muriel!" let's go lesbians, nonbinary folks and queer people, let's go!!!

[Start ID: Pages 28 to 30 of a Good Omens narrative featuring Muriel.

28. Muriel looks at Nina: "Uhm." They tilt their head to regard the lights again, brows furrowed. Then, they smile tightly: "Oh...no, you're right, of course." Muriel turns back to Nina, smiling genuinely this time: "It does look sort of silly. Thank you!" Nina looks confused as she watches Muriel go: "...you're welcome?"

29. Heading towards the coffee shop, Maggie sidles up to Nina, smiling: "Nina! Business busy this morning?" Nina returns her gaze to the retreating figure of Muriel: "...no, not really." She crosses her arms. "...something about that new "bookshop keep" is off." Maggie gasps: "Nina! You can't just say that-" but she pauses. Her eyes follow to where Nina is looking. "Hang on..."

30. "...what do you mean by "new"?" she asks. They watch the bookshop across the street. "Something's fishy," Nina says, finally. /End ID.]

New meme format

I found Maggie very relatable because she didn't do party as a teenager and doesn't like alcohol. That might sound silly, but for someone who has constantly seen, and at some point even been told, that it was considered weird, odd not to do that, that it wasn't normal, that's a little spark of joy.

Aziraphale and Crowley meet again, a week after they went their separate ways. They know that they love each other but now they still have to figure out some things and perhaps also save the world.

What happens next? And what happened before?

In Chapter 4:

Muriel loved rides in the Bentley. They had decided so just now.

"Thank you so much for driving me, Mr Crowley!"

Muriel patted the inside of the Bentley's door.

The Bentley turned light blue for a moment just until a dangerous growl from Crowley turned it back to black.

"The music is nice," Muriel said.

The Bentley hadn't stopped playing Owl City since Muriel had entered and Crowley no longer understood what was happening to his car.

"Where are we going?"

"Picking up Maggie from the dentist. Nina's got an emergency at the coffee shop and Maggie is having the good drugs and shouldn't take public transport," Crowley explained calmly. "Why are you even here?"

"I don't know. I just like driving in your vehicle-car-Bentley." Muriel looked out the window and admired the busy street and the people jumping out of the way while screaming.

i wrote a 5+1 Maggie/Nina fic for good omens 2

Aziraphale miracled Nina a record player on the night of the Wickber Street Trader’s Association meeting. Maggie plays Nina some music 5 times, and Nina returns the favour.

Why didn't Aziraphale's miracles work to erase Maggie and Nina's memories?

looking out

I can’t believe I went through all of Season 2 assuming Nina was the stand-in for Crowley when you actually pay attention it’s so CLEAR that she’s Aziraphale. I was tricked by her spiky, sarcastic, cynical outer shell and lulled into a false sense of security by Maggie’s bubbly optimism and wholesome goodness, because on the surface they reflect the ineffable husbands perfectly, in their personalities, their aesthetics, even many of their actions and morals. but not, and this is the real key, when it comes to their “relationship”. but those first impressions really had me damn fooled. 

I missed the blatantness of Nina’s “we’re just friends. actually we’re not friends. we barely know each other.” the same thing Aziraphale said in season 1.  the way he still struggles to quantify their friendship when Nina asks. Nina’s sarcasm when Crowley asks about rain and awnings because it worked for him (we all know it LMAO). hell, that whole convo the girls have in the rain is so AziraCrow (“I know. I’m not your type” “...You have no idea” hits so much harder the second time, help meeeee.) “Lindsay” maybe being symbolic of Heaven and Aziraphale’s toxic relationship with them and their abuse? (the handwritten text messages in red pen make me think of angry notes on paperwork, anyone else?) because Crowley has never actually cared about what Hell thinks of him, just not getting into trouble (or him or Aziraphale getting hurt). Maggie is always chasing Nina. NINA NEVER GOES IN THE RECORD STORE. Just like Crowley always goes to the bookstore, to Aziraphale, Zira NEVER WENT TO THE FLAT (apart from The Swap but that doesn’t count imo). Crowley has always chased Zira, not the other way around. Always there to rescue him, always going to him for company, always relying on their shared connection, always US. OUR SIDE. All through season one, he comes to Zira every time to work together, never trying to work alongside Hell in any way that isn’t to save their skins or Earth, while Zira hides things from Crowley because he STILL thinks Heaven is ultimately good and will do the right thing if he can just show them. fix it from the inside. 

Maggie working up the courage to finally say something, to put herself out there, while Nina is utterly oblivious and then when she does realise Maggie has feelings, becoming standoffish, putting up that barrier, fighting it, denying it, ITS SO CROWLEY AND AZIRAPHALE IN THAT ORDER. the way I was fooled into thinking Nina’s trust issues are Crowley because he does have trust issues ofc he does BUT Crowley has ALWAYS TRUSTED AZIRAPHALE. has always relied on him. has always been hurt when Aziraphale doesn’t immediately reciprocate the way he expects (the holy water request, the bandstand, the “off in the stars” etc). he’s always the one putting himself forward. Aziraphale has always been the one to second guess everything, to fight their connection, their similarities, their friendship. the girls really made me think it was going to be okay when they sat Crowley down, even as my inner sirens were going haywire about Metatron interfering, they were telling Crowley he just needs to open up and it’ll all work out BUT HE’S ALREADY AT THAT POINT. he may not say it, and by gosh is that part of their damn problem, but he’s always SHOWN IT. he’s not Nina who needs time to heal and recover from her broken trust, he’s always been Maggie believing it doesn’t matter, they’ll end up together in the end anyway AND I WALKED RIGHT INTO THE TRAP THAT THIS MEANT THEY WERE GOING TO BE OKAYYYYYYYYYYY

KNOW ITS FOR THE BETTER.

I don't know what I miss more, having free time to draw or these fellas

The raven cycle!!!!

Oh I love these guys. Everything about these books, I want to draw them soooo much more (I probably will)!!

Guys I'm back-

It has been a nightmare lately this is the only thing I managed to draw in weeks? Finals and uni stuff that's taking all of my time and energy, slowly turning me into a cafeinated slug (worst part is caffeine doesn't even have an effect on me? I only drink coffee for the TASTE can you imagine). Anyway the rush won't be over until end of January but hopefully I'll be able to ignore the stress and draw anyway :)
