if i see "credit to the original artist <3" one more time i might actually lose it
im gonna say it again and im going to say it loud. this is the proper way to go about reposting art:
do you know the artist? if not, go find them. if you cant find them, dont repost it
you found the artist or already knew them? ask to repost with credit
they said no? dont repost it
they dont respond? dont repost it
they said yes? go for it with proper credit
they later ask for it to be taken down? take it down immediately
thats it. its that simple.
"but i want other ppl to see the art!" thats great. link the original post then. not a link on a repost, a link on a post that says "hey guys, this artist is rlly good u should check them out!" if you repost and then link to the og post, most ppl are just going to like the repost. they arent going to take the time to go to the link when they can already see the art
"but i found the art on pinterest!" pinterest is not an artist. it is a site notoriously known for having reposted art. its nice to use to make mood boards and get inspo, but its also almost impossible to find og artists thru posts half the time. if you want to find the artist, you do a reverse image search. if you dont know how to do that, then look it up
"they already gave me permission. why are they telling me to take it down now?" ppl are allowed to change their minds. it can be nice to have more ways for ppl to see ur art, but it can become disheartening when all the attention is on a post that isnt ur own. sometimes ppl are okay with it, and sometimes they arent. if they arent then you need to respect their wishes
artists are not machines. we are humans. we have feelings.
we make art for fun and it sucks a lot when that art we spend hours on is just copy and pasted onto some elses account.
dont repost art. and if you want to, follow the steps above. end of story. there are no loopholes or exceptions. if you want ppl to keep making art free to see, dont be rude. follow the steps and be respectful
i dont normally like ppl taking screenshots of my posts and putting them elsewhere, but im giving blanket permission for this one post. spread the word. put it where you want. tiktok, insta, reddit, etc etc. ive seen so many artists get so upset putting their art behind paywalls like patreon just to keep ppl from stealing it. and i know multiple who have stopped posting altogether and some that are debating stopping.
respect artists, guys. follow the steps. seriously

guys. guys. the ritz is the elitest of elite restaurants. a character who has that kind of disposable income is VERY FUCKING RICH. nobody with a Normal Income is seeing the ritz as anything but a pipe dream. the ineffables can go there in canon bc they can MANIPULATE REALITY. i am about to scream
a crowley who lives with his friends and sees his job in terms of shifts absolutely unequivocally cannot afford the ritz. he is not thinking about the ritz. he is not considering the ritz as a viable destination. at literally any notion of him going to the ritz his first instinct would be Laughter Oh My God U Think I'm A Millionaire. do you understand me. please i can't live like this

Tumblr media
I am back with more Trolls Band Together content! (I’m not turning my tumblr into a trolls blog I swear—) [also, I ain’t gonna draw the details on Ritz’s jumpsuit, I’ve got a neurodivergent brain that refuses to add that sort of detail (but god forbid I miss a shadow or a lineart detail lmao)]
Is it weird for me to ship a rare pair like Veneer x Kid Ritz? Maybe, maybe not, idk. I’m starved for content tho, that’s a thing.
Anyway, have these lovestruck idiots goofing off and flirting, probably in some empty hallway in Ritz’s studio or something. Oh and this doodle of the off-screen (headcanon) reaction from Ritz to Veneer during the interview:
Tumblr media
(Ignore the chairs’ inconsistent perspective)
I love Ritz so much. Did yOU KNOW HIS VA IN SPANISH IS GENDERFLUID??!!! LIKE ME FR OMG HE/THEY NB RITZ HERE WE GOOO—!!!!!!
Ahem. Anyway. Got a few other works on these two. Mostly headcanons. I’ll be releasing them in the following days/weeks. So… yeah. I’m a Ritz stan. And a Veneer stan too. But mostly Ritz.
Have this last doodle, but this time it’s just the pop-star twins:
Tumblr media
Ok bye!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Ok ok last thing, I need to get this out of my system, since I’ve watched to movie a few more times since last post. Have you noticed the amount of *NSYNC references in the movie’s OST?? Like, the last part of Vacay Island’s song is literally the Sailing chorus, and the BroZone’s Back’s beginning is I Want You Back, which sure it’s a The Jackson 5 song but *NSYNC did a cover for it! It’s not just the in-sync/*NSYNC joke John Dory makes at the end of the movie, it’s all over the movie!! I’ve probably missed some other smaller detail, but gosh I love that they made an effort to include more *NSYNC than just a joke and a new song.
Ok I’ll stop myself before I turn this into a longer rant than it already is.
Bye for real this time lol _(:3 」∠)_

I've never understood what people mean when they say that Crowley is hiding the truth of Heaven and God's cruelty from Aziraphale to protect him or spare his feelings. That's like...the complete opposite of what Crowley does.
Crowley spends all 6000 years of their time on Earth together making snarky comments about Heaven and God at every opportunity. It's his opening line in Eden, and even before Eden, he meets Aziraphale and two minutes later goes on a rant about how unfair it is to end the world before it’s really started. "What's the point of making an infinite universe if you're only going to let it run for a few thousand years?" He's been forcing Aziraphale to grapple with God's plan literally since the moment they met. Those moments make up like half of the S1E3 intro, and it happens again in every single S2 minisode. "Same God that wants me to whack the kids?" "Tell her that poverty is ineffably wonderful and life is worth living. Go on!" "That's the trouble with you lot. You tend to see things in black and white." Like. Crowley's not trying to hide anything! He thinks Heaven sucks! He thinks God is playing a fucked up game! He tells Aziraphale that all the time!
Crowley sharing or not sharing the minute details of Aziraphale's failed execution is, honestly, a nonissue, and it's kind of frustrating to see it constantly brought up. We don't even know for sure that Crowley never told Aziraphale exactly what was said. Crowley says Aziraphale "doesn't remember it either," when he's talking to Jim--not that he doesn't know, just that he doesn't remember, because he wasn't physically there. But regardless of whether Aziraphale knows the exact words, he absolutely knows that Gabriel "tried very hard to cast [him] into Hellfire and destroy [him]." And he already knows Gabriel is an asshole. That's not news.
And I'm unconvinced that Crowley wouldn't have shared what he learned in Heaven about the Second Coming and Gabriel's trial over breakfast at the Ritz if things hadn't gone completely to shit. Here's my hot take: in the fifteen minutes he and Aziraphale had alone after he got back, he had other things on his mind. Would it have been helpful for Aziraphale to know? Eh, maybe. But honestly, Aziraphale is already aware that Heaven 1) is fully on board with the end of the world, and 2) has no problem punishing angels who try to stop the end of the world. Because, you know. They tried to kill him about it last time. And regardless, I don't think this is an issue of Crowley hiding things--I think he genuinely just forgot, because he was busy getting broken up with. If he'd thought about it, you bet he would have weaponized that to get Aziraphale to stay. And he kind of did! "When Heaven ends life here on Earth, it'll be just as dead as if Hell ended it."
And then there's the Fall, and yeah, fair enough. Crowley probably hasn't shared what the Fall looked like for him, and I think that's information Aziraphale could benefit from. Aziraphale clearly doesn't understand it--if he did, I can't imagine that he would have asked Crowley back to Heaven.
But that's still not Crowley trying to hide the truth about Heaven to protect Aziraphale's feelings, or whatever. He just doesn't want to talk about it! Because it fucking sucked! Crowley's communication problems stem entirely from his reluctance to grapple with his own emotions, and his reluctance to be vulnerable. Bitching about Heaven doesn't make him vulnerable; talking about his Fall really, really does.
Crowley has never once shied away from telling Aziraphale exactly what he thinks about Heaven, or the archangels, or God. He's constantly challenging him, forcing him to consider the people hurt by policy decisions like the Flood, the Crucifixion, Job's trials, or the "virtues of poverty." That's a huge part of their dynamic. Sure, he sucks at telling Aziraphale about himself--he doesn't communicate why he wants holy water, or that he's been living in his car, or anything at all about the Fall (as far as we know)--but when it comes to God? He is painfully honest. That's why Aziraphale is so unsettled by him. Crowley is generally very good to Aziraphale and conscious of his happiness, yes, but he's also not afraid to push him. It's baffling to me that people think that all he does is coddle him when we spend about half the show watching them bicker over this exact issue on screen.

hi!! first off, thank you for all you do! the organization of this account is quite literally my saving grace!! i was curious if there were any fics relating to Queen? like a favorite headcanon is that crowley sat with freddie mercury and talking endlessly about aziraphale and that’s how “good old fashioned lover boy” came about! have you heard of anything like this??
We have a #queen tag with several posts full of fics like this. Please check that out.
Here are some more fics that explore Crowley and Freddie Mercury's friendship.
Crowley and Freddie by rubylaurus [rated T, 3900 words]
A glimpse into Crowley’s friendship with one of his favorite humans, a dissection of Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy, and slight dip into the existentialism faced by immortal beings on a mortal earth.
Till the end of time, my Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy by nagitoscockfullofhope [rated G, 1300 words]
Freddie and Crowley are friends. One rant leads to the making of the song Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy.
“Maybe. I mean he asked me to dine at the Ritz with him tonight, we’ve done it a couple times in the past but not a lot recently. He also asked me to go on a picnic with him some time!” Crowley smiled fondly, thinking about Aziraphale now.
“Dinning at the Ritz? That sounds pretty romantic."
December 30th, 1976 by FandomFighter [rated M, 1400 words]
The story behind the song 'Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy.'
On The Road by MagnetoTheMagnificent [NR, 791 words]
Why the Bentley only plays Queen, and why it makes Crowley cry
I do hope you enjoy these.

Now, let's think of an innefable husband Valentine's day shtick. We start off with Crowley arriving at aziraphales shop with a bouquet of yellow tulips and Aziraphale has baked like cookies or something for Crowley and got him a new plant of some sort AND MAYBE THEY EXCHANGE STUPID LOVE NOTES OR SOMETHING. They go out and listen to things like "somebody to love" and "a Nightingale sang in Berkeley Square" in the Bentley as the drive to a restaurant where they eat crepes for breakfast. And then they stroll around the park and feed ducks, maybe aziraphale tortures Crowley by doing some magic tricks and Aziraphale listens to Crowley ranting on and on about how "bread is bad for ducks" and such AND BASICALLY JUST ENJOY EACH OTHERS COMPANY. then they dine at the Ritz OF COURSE and end the day with a night picnic watching the sunset and then star gazing on the grass while Crowley got aziraphale his favorite pastries and such that they snack on while spotting different constellations as they sit next to eachother wrapped in a (tartan) blanket. I HONESTLY JUST WANT THEM TO DO LOVEY DOVEY STUFF AND THIS I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY. (If you can't tell I'm treating valentines day as a huge excuse to talk about the innefable husband's, and to forget about the divorce)

I like to think that the first couple episodes of series 3 will include at least a few scenes where Crowley is camped out in Nina's coffee shop. He's angrily chugging shots mixed with whiskey, Nina keeps on trying to give him decaf to mitigate the damage but it doesn't appear to be working, all whilst ranting about Aziraphale but in a manner that makes it abundantly clear that he misses him dearly. Nina, after sharing numerous "are you hearing this?" glances with Maggie eventually asks, "...so do you want him to come back to Earth?"
"No, course not! Why would you even suggest that?"
"It just sounds like you miss him," Maggie mentions, reaching out to pat the top of Crowleys hand in a manner that reminds him so much of Aziraphale he almost flinches.
"'M a demon," he grumbles, tossing back another mugful. "I don't miss people- especially not Supreme Archangels who leave their only friend on Earth to fuck off back to a place that tried to kill him."
"Really? Because you've been groaning for the past hour how you no longer have someone to tease, or go to dinner with, or how fluffy his hair is-"
"I DO NOT MISS HIM!" Crowley's hands slam down onto the table, steam pooling out of his nose. "Do I miss our alcoholic ventures to the Ritz? Yes. But I just like alchohol," Nina and Maggie both eye the two now empty whisky bottles next to him. "Do I miss our weird talks? Sure. But he left me, and now I'm making it a point to not miss him or his silly little love of old music and wine, or how he looks at me whenever I bring him a book, or how he always offers to pay for dinner but I always beat him to it-"
Crowley stills for a moment.
Then several more.
"I-," he starts, before shoving his glasses up the slope of his nose. "I don't miss him. I just want to make sure Heaven doesn't destroy what we worked so hard to save- and if that means he's gone then fine."
It wasn't fine.

Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy
By: Queen
anytime i refer to them as gay I mean that with our silly human terms. obviously. an angel and a demon dont apply to our silly little terms.
im so gay :>
this is filled with typos and ramblings. i wrote this at 2:00am. apologies.
youtube
youtube
this is a surface level rant on my part. honestly if i had the time and research skills id look up the context of why this was written and how its been used in media up till this point. honestly i might. either way its fairly surface level.
This song is heard when Crowley is going back to Aziraphale in season 2 after he found out about the book of life erasing thing. After listening to this song I have to say. THIS IS AMAZING. obviously the song is good its queen.
Crowley's songs are always queen songs and given the title and given Aziraphales regular dress and general pop culture knowledge i think we know who the “good old fashioned lover boy” is.
This is obviously a romance song but similarly to “A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square.” the lyrics fit their relationship so nicely!!! (as well as being an absolute bop. LISTEN TO THIS GODDAMN SONG. i like the part at 1:44. so cheery!!!)(also this is why Neil Gaimen is AWESOME such small details in the fucking SONG a fucking BENTLEY plays.)(its like 1:09am and im still up after not getting sleep last night and prob none today so ima go on tangents like this hehe)
“Dining at the Ritz, we'll meet at nine
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine o'clock) precisely
I will pay the bill, you taste the wine
Driving back in style, in my saloon, will do quite nicely
Just take me back to yours, that will be fine
Come on and get it”
like come on man. “Dining at the Ritz” its Aziracrows THING. their whole routine is dine at the ritz, Aziraphale eats and crowley drinks copious amounts of alcohol, Crowley is always seen paying the bill (or doing something of the sort), they drive in a cool fucking bentley (with a James Bond bullet hole window screen insert), and they go back to Aziraphales bookshop. and the “that'd be fine” matches Aziraphales general attitude when inviting Crowley back to his place in the 1st season and in older flashbacks. Now thats the most obvious. there are many other examples of lyrics that very conveniently match to them.
“Say the word, your wish is my command”
throughout history when Aziraphale and Crowley met up they did favors. whether it be making Hamlet successful, performing magic on the west end stage, getting holy water (“You go too fast for me Crowley.”YOU MF AZIRAPHALE WHYYYY) or magicing away some paint on a very old well kept jacket. they always do things like this for each other. focusing solely on Crowley's perspective he, throughout history, has always been the one to accept Aziraphales requests with little to no complaints. (until Armageddon i suppose)
even in season 2 he lets Aziraphale use his bentley. Although there is some bickering there, he still lets it happen. He doesn't sell books while Aziraphale is away and he even carries them around (the sleeve garters are a whole other thing in this scene)
now realistically the “good old fashioned lover boy” is, im sure, referring to both of them. also the song just feels gay. just listen to it. its gay. i swear.
Now. not saying it matches perfectly. obviously it doesn't but even the GO fandom links the two pieces of media on occasion(see second link). they are inexplicably connected, whether its false pattern recognition (i have currently forgotten the proper term for that. T-T) or intended by mr gaiman i think its so intriguing that the songs picked to play fit so nicely into the deeper narrative. this. is good media
“Write my letter, feel much better
I'll use my fancy patter on the telephone”
Essentially means smooth talking on the phone. Which you have to admit Crowley does to Aziraphale quite often. And Aziraphale writes letters. honestly its cute. specially im thinking of season 1 when Aziraphale is writing a note to Crowley while they are on the phone. its later in the season in the last ditch rush to stop the antichrist.
I used the bit of lyrics that fit them the best in the beginning of the rant. and time for my least convincing point. the vibe just fits them so well. the slightly old school beat with simple romantic lyrics. Its not anything overtly sexual. just the simplicities of romance. IT FUCKING FITTSSS!!!!
There is so much more but i dont want to make this 10000000000000000000 paragraphs long and i have other good omens stuff i want to rant about:>
just my opinion on a silly song that appears for like a minute in the show!

The 501st was having a meeting with a few members of the Guard, Senators Amidala and Organa, and some members of the Jedi Council. Anakin was currently going on a tangent about the Guard's laziness and stupidity. Or what he assumed was so. One of the Guards on duty was getting agitated. Those who were truly paying attention could see his armor shaking as his rage began to bubble past the point he could hide. Commander Fox was aware of Fenrir's rising anger.
Said Commander was kind enough to warn the council and Senate members prior to the meeting that he would be prone to lash out. Especially when Skywalker was around and in one of his rants. Despite his somewhat cordial behavior during the events of Five's disappearance and later the incident with Ritz, the Jedi Knight was still prone to rants against the Guard. It had gotten to the point that no Guardsman was willing to deal with him alone or at all. Hence the meeting. And once the male got into a new rant about how lazy the men on guard duty were Fenrir finally snapped.
The riot trooper hit the Knight with the butt of his blaster, knocking him to the floor and startling everyone in the room but the Guards. The clone raised his foot and stomped onto the weakest point in the man's leg and a crack was heard. Anakin wailed in pain and Fenrir held up his blaster to point at Jesse in warning. The other members of the 501st froze. The second oldest member of the Coruscanti Wolfpack growled and reached down to pull the wounded Jedi to his feet. Albeit unsteadily.
"Stand the fuck up. You stand back up. The rest of you sit down, or else."
Fenrir growled and most of the ones standing did so but Jesse. Fenrir looked at him and motioned for him to sit too. The blue clad clone did so with hesitation. The red clad riot trooper kept Anakin from sitting down and made him fall into a shaky parade rest. Back straight, legs shoulder length, arms behind the back crossed, and chin held high. Every time a noise of pain would leave the Jedi's mouth, Fenrir would scoff.
"What is it? Your leg? Shut the fuck up and be quiet. You have no right to complain."
He snarled and waved at Senator Amidala to begin her own talking. The brunette woman nodded, slightly disturbed by the events taking place, but used to Fenrir's type of teaching. He knew no better way to teach than experience. After an hour, Anakin started to flag and slump over. Only to get smacked on the back by Fenrir.
"Oi! Did I say you could be at ease?! Straighten up, you shithead! You ain't allowed to relax until I say so. You're a Jedi! Fucking act like it!"
Fenrir snapped and the brunette Jedi fixed his posture despite the pain. Obi-wan was looking mildly distressed by his old Padawan's treatment. Plo Koon was wincing with every growl Fenrir rumbled out. Despite the months having gone by, the Guard was still icy towards those outside of their unit. The only ones willing to be somewhat cordial were the Commanders, CMO Stitches, and very rarely Chemi. Due to the fact that the Healing Halls had been helping heal the Trooper turned Scientist's air ways.
They were never out right mean or cruel, but they never dropped their guard. They never allowed visitors. And they didn't try to make nice. They were all business and professional politeness. Except for a very small group of shinies who hadn't been abandoned yet. And they had been warned about said abandonment happening at any point. So they were enjoying their time while it seemingly lasted. When it was nearing the end of the meeting, Fenrir was still pacing behind Anakin with the gaze of a predator.
He never let the Knight relax, always barking for him to straighten up or fix his posture. The Jedi's broken leg was shaking, yet Fenrir didn't seem to care. He snapped when Anakin would go to ask to sit. Claiming that he had no right. That he wasn't allowed to sit with their "Noble Guests". At first those not in the know didn't really like the way the Guardsman was treating him. Until it finally clicked that he was treating Anakin the same way they were treated.
"Fix your fucking posture, Jedi! I didn't fucking say you could relax!"
Anakin was nearing his physical limit. Yet no one was interfering with what the crazy trooper was doing. He didn't understand why his master or Padme weren't doing anything! His leg hurt! Yet whenever he began to slip, the trooper would snap at him.
"And this is the end of the meeting. Trooper Fenrir, would you kindly allow the Knight to relax?"
Senator Organa asked with a wary smile. Fenrir growled softly but nodded. Hitting Anakin on the back and stepping around to face him.
"Did you learn your lesson, Jedi? Or am I gonna have to start paying a visit to the temple to teach you fucking discipline?"
He asked and the Jedi paled. He did in fact realize that this had been used as an example of what the Guard did daily. What they were forced to do every hour of every day. Before the Sith Lord was killed, before CMO Stitches had the supplies to treat them all. Before they could take time off and didn't have to support the entire Coruscanti police and security system. When they were under constant threat of death and recon.
"You can relax now. But if I hear anything about you talking shit again, I'll break more than just your fucking leg. I'll make you wear armor, go patrolling with me, and spend the whole day with no help for those injuries. And let me tell you, it isn't a walk in the fucking park. Not on this "Cushy Posting"."
Fenrir snarled and Anakin fell to the floor to sit. Whining with pain as Obi-wan walked over to check on him. Stitches didn't help, deciding that his old protege could deal with it. He should have learned that much with him. Kix just sighed as the Guards all walked out of the room. Fenrir more at a stalk than a walk with the intent of finding either his Soka or his Ori'vod, Chemi. Or even his own ad, Pup.
If Anakin had anything else to say, he kept it firmly to himself. Coruscant had Guard eyes and ears everywhere, after all.

Just ranting and being a downer i guess
This was a great gig. Super amazing perfect performances. Flawless execution, incredible that Alex pulled through. They all sounded absolutely flawless.
But nothing special. We've seen the same stuff all tour. Like what's the point of doing Glasto if they're not going to do anything special for it. On the ten year anniversary of the last time no less.
I'm trying so hard not to be bitter because it was truly a spectacular show. But.. guys, c'mon..
No Miles. No new outfits. No new songs. No new arrangement. No Glasto special. Only the same show they've been playing for 60 shows already..
So predictable.. indeed...
Fuck it breaks my heart that I feel like this, because it was truly an AMAZING show and they sounded perfect. Performed to perfection. I'd just expected something else. Something more. Why did they even do it if they didn't want to plan anything for it?
They did so well. Amazing songs, amazing everything. Truly a powerful performance. But one like all of the others. And I'd expected more.
I know they can do more and they just don't. They didn't cease the opportunity to do something special and significant. They have so much potential and they didn't do anything with it. They just went with the tried and true, and it's so unlike them and it breaks my heart because does that mean they're not that band anymore?
Fuck, my heart is running away with me, sorry for being such a downer but I'm just so disappointed.
I loved it so much, had such high hopes, and then it just fizzled out to nothing in a mess of catering to their new young TikTok audience..
Sure, we got James Ford on synth and Alex rapping Star Treatment, but that was literally it. Everything else was exactly the same.
Why??? I just don't get it.
And no Miles. I really don't understand that one. I hope it is some inane practical logistical reason, like some of you have been saying. Because Miles said he'd be there if they'd have him. And they obviously wanted him there, just look how happy they all were when he played with them the other day.
Ugh. I feel bad now.
AND NO FUCKING RITZ EITHER

guys the only thing i need to see from season 3 is aziraphale ranting about how much he loves crowley
freely and openly with the kind of animated expression that he wears when he gets excited about a Plan, the shy smile from when he asked crowley to dance, the stars in his eyes like when he realized that crowley turned the goats into birds and saved his books
because what we do have (you go too fast for me, crowley...maybe we could dine at the ritz) is so achingly pretty? and he's been running a bookstore for 200 years, the only things he loves more than pretty words are sushi helping people and crowley? and part of what makes crowley's dialogue at the ending so charming is that it's so stilted, words aren't his thing but he knows that they are aziraphale's so he tries anyway?
we have all these cues that *aziraphale* should be the more verbal and openly affectionate one of them, and yet we've barely heard a peep out of him so far.
because fucking heaven has made him think that they are the only ones who can be good
that the fact that aziraphale thinks that crowley is good means that either crowley is meant to be an angel or aziraphale is meant to fall
and either possibility terrifies him, so his own love terrifies him and he keeps it all bottled up
i just KNOW that he has hundreds of poems in his head that he's shut down before even trying to put them on paper, too afraid to even admit that they're love poems
and if season 3 gives aziraphale any peace, gives us even a fraction of his open love, i think it will do him (and every fan like myself who has ever been closeted, ever written poetry while closeted) some justice
