Hello, another Good Omens vid! This one is about Crowley's No Good Very Bad Six Thousand Years and how being in love is both the problem and the solution!

( Vid under the cut! )

WELL THAT CERTAINLY WAS A NEW SEASON OF A CANON THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR QUITE A WHILE

( Good Omens 2 thoughts! )

It's that time again!

Ah, linked on twitter but haven't done so here yet!

Still yelling into the void about the Mechanisms! Still more or less on track to write one Mechs fic a month, too -- like, I last posted a complete fic in May, and here we are in July, but given that I did all 79k of this one in June and July, I think we can reasonably say that still counts as about a fic a month.

lies we tell the universe, Nastya/Toy Soldier, Jonny/Tim, Marius/Raphaella, Mechs ensemble

If there was one thing Nastya's kid brother didn't need, it was to be told that he was a god. But here he was, wrapped in dark leather with makeup lines of black lightning spiderwebbing across his face, surrounded by a massive crowd of worshipful enablers.

(Every ninety years eight gods return as young people. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are all dead. It's happening now. It's happening again.)

Iiiiit's a The Wicked + the Divine AU! A lot of them play D&D in horrible tunnels! I had so much fun writing it!!

Look sometimes you and your housemates start imagining ever-more-elaborate weird games that the Mechs might play given that they enjoy violence and cannot die, and then you find yourself writing several thousand words of silly nonsense about it. So, uh, here we are!

Spin the Knife, Jonny d'Ville/Mechs ensemble
As described.

(I keep trying to write Mechs fic that isn't from Jonny's POV, but it goes at a normal pace, and then I start anything from Jonny's POV and entire absurd fics just fall right out.)

Once upon a time, I listened to the Mechanisms' entire discography, then spent the next month and change writing ~39,000 words about my feelings. This is what we get on the other side of that.

moons in collision, like gravity or love, Jonny d'Ville/Mechanisms ensemble

His living heart had hurt, and the new one felt strange: he could feel the clockwork and the gears in his chest where there had once been nothing but messily squeezing muscle, and at that first tickticktick he felt the sick swooping rightness of it so strongly that every moment on either side of it went white with euphoria.

Linear memory's overrated, anyway.

Anyway uh *slaps roof of fic* you can fit so many of my feelings about being trans and having dealt with a lot of immense sadness this past year and still trying to find beauty and meaning and love in things, I guess?? ENJOY.

Happy 2021, I have already finished a fic! It is, uh. Well, I was having a bunch of Magnus Archives feelings, and then me + my housemates all went on a collective bender where we listened to every Mechanisms album within a week, and on the other side of it I have emerged blearily to discover that the first fic featuring cannibalism that I'm putting on the internet is not a Hannibal story but instead one about chaotic immortal space pirates.

Stave Off the Boredom (with Fire and Food), Jonny d'Ville/Ashes O'Reilly, Jonny d'Ville/Gunpowder Tim

Jonny opened his mouth to point out, crankily, that everyone on this ship was a fucking pedant and only Ashes had the thimbleful of brain necessary to understand that obviously he was asking about kinks they'd enjoyed, when Tim said, "Maybe the question should be, what's the kinkiest thing you've never done that you want to try?"

Feat: unsafe wax play, lots of body horror, cannibalism and chill, other bizarreness. I'm slightly worried because the entire Mechs tag seems to be earnest kids from the same discord server, and they all seem lovely but I'm coming in with ... this. Lol.

I got TWO Yuletide fics this year!

Okay, Then, The Wicked & the Divine -- a lovely little post-canon fixit fic for [spoilers redacted, but it's the only part of canon I was unsatisfied with]

& as a treat: Excerpt from Book 22 (lost) of The Noniad by Ortus Nigenad, Locked Tomb Trilogy -- Ortus/Nonius, IN TERRIBLE EPIC VERSE, I was absolutely dying laughing (the best part is that my Locked Tomb request was for literally any character and for the author to follow their heart, and by god they DID)

Family FaceTime was lovely; we've received many holiday cards this week; it's dismal and raining out, but we baked tons of cookies yesterday and there's a whole Yuletide archive to deep-dive into. Also I seem to have said this everywhere but dreamwidth, but: Amiel and I are engaged! I probably have a longer post in me about that, but today is for lounging and reading. Happy Yuletide and whatever winter festivities you celebrate, everyone <3

Oops I tripped and wrote like a thousand words about being mad at JKR. I've been training my entire customer service career to be exactly this sort of angry, and really REALLY no one has to read it, although I guess I'm posting it in case anyone else is the same kind of mad?
