The Thought Just Hit Me That While Azi Has Done The Apology Dance Several Times Before, Crowley Never

The thought just hit me that while Azi has done the apology dance several times before, Crowley never has. This is the first time Crowley has to do it. This is the first time Azi gets to see him dance it. And Crowley surely felt a little humiliated (ofc that doesn't matter if it's for his angel), since he doesn't do that sort of stuff. Apologising and being nice is Azi's stuff (supposedly; it's not like I buy it). Azi does this all the time. But now, Azi saw Crowley temporarily drop his cool, confident, protective appearance to do something nice. For him.

Only problem: I'm only a writer if I get my shit together and actually write down what I daydream about 25/8 🥲 Y'all better bet I put "creative hallucinator" on my next resume 🥲 Probably adding "with procrastination issues"

But then again not actually writing is probably 70% of the job description of being a writer sooo...

❝ I wish I could say fanfic writing as a part of my special skills while applying for a job ❞ and what if I say you actually can? because writing fanfic can actually be used as a part of your special skills while applying for a job and it is valid. writing is writing. literally the only thing differentiate fanfic writers from writers who publish and sell original works is that fanfic writers can’t publish and sell their works. that’s all. that’s the only difference. don’t let anyone tell you “fanfic writers aren’t real writers because their works aren’t as good as those of writers who write and sell original works” because that’s utter bullshit. I’ve read so many well written fanfics that are so much better than some published original novels. (here’s the proof.)

wanna know the trick? if you don’t think you’re gonna be taken seriously if you say you write fanfics while in a job interview, then say creative writing. because writing fanfics is considered creative writing. it is creative writing.

fanfic writers can write novel-length fiction, fanfic writers can write as good as any other writers who write original works if not better. fanfic writers are writers and they are just as valid.

you, a fanfic writer, may even be more dedicated and passionate than writers who sell original works because, while they write because it’s their job, you literally write 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 free 👏🏻 out 👏🏻 of 👏🏻 pure 👏🏻 love 👏🏻 and 👏🏻 passion.

that’s a whole novel and you wrote that with pure love and passion. that’s pretty mind blowing.

so yes, you absolutely can and should say creative writing while applying for a job, and say it proudly. you are a writer.

Happy birthday to all my poor souls born on 29ᵗʰ February!

"Miracles don't work like that."

Okay, hear me out... I have another theory.

In case you don't remember, basically Aziraphale lied to heaven about having miracled Nina to fall in love with Maggie, they're sending someone to confirm it, Aziracrow has to make her fall for Maggie, Crowley suggests Aziraphale should just miracle her to fall in love with Maggie, Aziraphale says that miracles wouldn't work like that.

Since Crowley—as a former angel—didn't know that feelings of love can't be miracled up (hence Aziraphale pointing it out to him), and since the other angels didn't know it either, as they just "sent someone to check" (if they knew it wasn't possible, they wouldn't have considered the possibility of Aziraphale telling the truth and sent someone to check in the first place), I think it is safe to conclude that it is not known to angels—neither fallen sauntered-vaguely-downwards nor active angels—whether it is possible to miracle up feelings of love. Therefore, Aziraphale must have tried it himself before to find out and gain that knowledge. Sure, he may have already tried to make others fall in love before in history, but if you ask me, he definitely tried with Crowley.

(or he didn't because he believed Crowley and he would end up together anyway and should do so in a natural, honest way, which would make it hella romantic and kinda sad now with the ending of S2 because they haven't ended up together (yet))

Aziracrow, probably...

Crowley: Look Angel, we're standing under a mistletoe! You know what that means... Aziraphale: (oblivious) Crowley, this isn't a mistletoe- Crowley: *hectically miracles the branch into a mistletoe* Whatcha saying? Couldn't hear you
