Don’t ever hug a lobster when you see one on the street,

For decorum is essential when a lobster you must greet.

You may comment on the weather, compliment his choice of hat,

But crustaceans like their space if one should stop them for a chat.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you’re strolling down the coast,

Simply nod and give a greeting, or a handshake at the most,

For a lobster’s first priority is formal social graces,

And one seemes over-familiar if a lobster one embraces.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you meet one in the sea,

For a lobster’s spines and chitin make it difficult, you see,

And he might become self-conscious if you bring that fact to light,

Who knew reading could be so exhausting. 🤣 ---- Finally, my first Asa & Anthony art!! I love my old man yaoi!💕 One of my favourite things is being able to draw them like this, since canonically Anthony reads books and Asa sleeps.

Summary:

"Say goodbye, then."

Or! What if they didn't? Or if they did, it didn't matter. Because it's them, you see. Everything.

Excerpt:

He feels upside down and inside out, at home in his body with this body, and like he's brand new, finding sensation, hell, nerve endings he never realised he had. He should tread carefully, because he wants to fly.

He can feel a sense of the same strange reticence in Asa. There's a gentle tremor in the fingers combing through his hair, caressing his neck. The room feels too close around them. The atoms are greedily voyeuristic, holding them too tightly. And then it's equally too large, as though they've truly been catapulted to space and it's only them. Alone in an entire universe, quiet and soft and breathy where there can be no sound or heat or light, and yet, it feels about to explode in a roar of light.

God, voiced by Frances McDormand, has not been heard from since season 1. The God who appears in the bookshop at the end of season 3 was summoned by Aziraphale writing in the new Book of Life. She is the embodiment of Aziraphale's hopes and fears about what God really is, and she does everything exactly as Aziraphale would hope -- she obeys Crowley's command to pause in destroying them. She answers their questions sincerely, not in riddles. She allows them true choice. And she honors their wishes.

Aziraphale brings here there, and she does as Aziraphale wills, for once. One interpretation could be that this is not actually God (the God who was shuffling the cards in season 1) but Aziraphale's manifestation of God.

Season 1, as an adaptation of the book, resolves the problems of season 1 and the book, and does so in a way that really doesn't need a sequel. Season 2 reopens all of the same problems, and creates an ever-recurring repetion of these same problems, within the system it creates. As long as Heaven and Hell exist, the same crisis will repeat. The finale ends the cycle of crisis by ending the system of Heaven and Hell, at Az & Crowley's choice.

Aziraphale and Crowley end up together, on their own side. They end up with Aziraphale being ready to give up the earth to just be with Crowley -- you can see the disappointment on his face when Crowley says the opposite, until he realizes Crowley is right. And Crowley is finally willing to sacrifice being with Aziraphale, for humanity, which is what Aziraphale was trying to do at the end of season 2. They both come around to seeing each other's point of view, together. That is their happy ending. They're finally on the same side. For real. For good.

Summary:

Fairies aren’t real. Love potions aren’t real, either. Unless they are…

Prologue & Chapter 1:

Following the fables in his books, Aziraphale arrives in a wooded somewhere looking for the infamous Robin Goodfellow — a.k.a. Puck the jester fairy. But a surprise is waiting for him on the fairy's front steps… [THREE MONTHS EARLIER] After seeing A Midsummer Night's Dream for the first time, Crowley and Aziraphale have a chance to pick William Shakespeare's brain about where he gets his inspiration. His answer sends them on a quest of their own.

Dear all,

A new trend is starting to appear in AO3 comments: impersonation of known writers in certain fandoms to write extremely mean comments.

The username is going to appear as such:

This, for example, is a member of Good Omens After Dark, who we know and love and can absolutely ENSURE would never post something as nasty as the bot I'm showing here has posted. That, as it was brought to our attention, made it very obvious to us that something new had appeared on AO3.

All the known writers you all respect and love have a registered account on AO3: please consider this fact when you see such a comment by an account whose name you might recognise.

No self-respecting writer posting on AO3 would post the nasty things that we're seeing floating around posted by those new types of bots

And they would certainly not go through the trouble of leaving that comment with their actual account name as a Guest name.

Report and block, and please stay safe. Do not engage with those accounts, they are entirely meant to discourage you and to make you delete your works.

If you do believe that you are being treated very unfairly by a GOAD member however, never hesitate to report it to the GOAD mods, as that is not the type of behaviour that we accept from our members.

Signed,

i'm offering fanart for good omens and marvel! go check it out and please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Browsing for Fandom Trumps Hate 2026 is open, and I am excited to participate for the first time.

Afraid-Industry's FTH Auction Page

I am offering a 5,000 to 10,000 word Good Omens fanfic. I love writing stories as gifts that I wouldn't necessarily write if left to my own devices, so I can't wait to see what prompt my bidder throws at me.

Want to see what kind of stuff I usually write? Check out my work on AO3. I like silly. I like sweet. I like two (or sometimes three to four) idiots in love. I like making people feel things. I like challenging myself and trying to grow. Have questions about a potential prompt? DM me. I'd love to chat.

Let's do it. Hate needs to be trumped more than ever this year.
