I know we all think Aziraphale is gonna come back from heaven dearly missing wine and food and good music but I think he's gonna come back and immediately crawl under a blanket because he is severely overstimulated by the fucking Big Light energy in heaven.
Those fluorescent overhead lights and the sheer brightness of this place absolutely do not mesh with the autisms, I mean look at his bookshop!! Dim and muted. Poor thing
While I'm waiting for the heatwave'll end so I could start drawing smthg real, here are some silly but refreshing sketches. Yeh that scene from Slow Show
i’d like to report that i am still in the depths of hell
my inspiration for this fic faded months ago but my desire to finish it has not
i’ve been writing this fic since january and i’m only 50 pages in it’s constantly on my mind which is insane bc im pretty sure my good omens hyperfixation ended a couple weeks ago (i still love it, the obsession has just gone away)
this stupid fic is never not on my mind but i can’t get myself to write it im in the depths of hell rn
Good Omens Textposts Part 2
I stare at the screen for hours, trying to make the words come out, but they won't. I can't compel myself to take a break, because there's this voice screaming at me from the base of my brain...
"You've been told you're a great writer, and you want to be a published author. But all you have to show for it after forty-four years are a dozen crash-and-burn writing projects. When you have the time to write, you don't, for a host of reasons. If you don't have something written by the time you die--which comes closer with every passing day--you've wasted your gifts, you've wasted all the effort people put into educating you, and you've wasted your life. So sit down and WRITE, you worthless piece of shit!"
How do you get past the paralysis caused by the obligation to produce? Is there a way to trick your brain and your body into writing? Or do you just slog on through, no matter how long you have to sit there to get a thousand words a day out?
Perhaps you could try to be kinder to yourself.
I always give myself permission to write or to do nothing at all (staring out of the window or at a wall is okay). After a while spent staring at a wall it's often easier to write.
Remember if you write a page a day -- 300 words -- at the end of a year you'll have a 100,000 word novel.
“Are you really going to watch that again?”
Indeed I am, and I’d appreciate it if you’d kindly walk that judgement way the hell back, please. I’m here to dissociate and heal at the same time.
i have a spreadsheet for every fic ive read this year and its all categorized by like a dozen dif things it’s my pride and joy
writing long adoring comments on fics is my passion
Just finished Editor's Note.
Kindly,
Fuck you.
No, not kindly. You are entirely at fault.
For everything.
I have never in my life felt an emotion so strongly, one that I cannot place. The best way I could describe it, is an eagerness so tense I cannot move without letting everything out in a half-scream groan of resolution.
It's as if I am crying without tears or the rock in my throat that won't let me speak... thank you.
And thank you for the immense inspiration and elation I have for my own writing after reading this.
Now to read your Kravitz/Taako fics, I'm so excited.
this is so gratifying omg 🥺 thank you so much for reading, sorry for the not-rock in your throat 💛
i've been wanting to rotoscope another gif since that kiss, and @blairamok's ice skating wip looks SO AMAZING i was inspired to have another go
(much to love the gif makers!! crowley + aziraphale)
