Hi @mrfell.bsky.social and @serpensdiabolus.bsky.social, here's my art-fic for #GoodOmens #TheMischief #BookOfPride! A wee bit late by UK time, but it's still June 30 here on the US East Coast, so I'm hoping it counts. 😊 Happy #Pride! 🌈😇😈🌈 #AziraCrow #IneffableHusbands

An image with a mini-fic written on top of it.

Image:
Two statues in a garden, each on a plinth. On the left is an angel holding a sword and a book, wings mantled in defense; the plinth for this statue bears the word Love. On the right is a demon holding an apple and a crank for winding up the Bentley (or the universe), his wings readied to take flight; the plinth for this statue bears the word Hope. A rainbow arcs overheard, and flowers bedeck the grass beneath.

Fic text:
Why did you put those in the garden, my dear?

To remember, of course.

Weren’t they meant to be our headstones?

Meant to be, yeah. But He should have known better. Can’t kill those two: love and hope. The harder you try, the brighter they shine.

The brighter we shine, my dear. Like beacons in the night! We sure showed Him, didn’t we?

Pride, angel? Isn’t that a sin?

Too right, my dear. Too right. I’ll just…add it to my collection. Anyway, it’s good to take pride in some things.

Is that so, angel?

It is indeed! Fighting the good fight. Being wholly oneself. Loving one another. [a pause] Loving you.

Aziraphale! Warn me before you get all mushy!

[a warm chuckle] Forgive me?

Oh, all right. Fancy some dinner? Our table at the Ritz?

You spoil me, Crowley.

Ngyeah, whatever. [muttered] I am spoilt merely by knowing you.

Keep that up, and we won’t make it to dinner.

Lust, angel?

What’s the good of collecting if I don’t have the full set?

I remembered to put the hub first this time!

Near-perfect 4x3 results: purple, green, blue, yellow, hub first on all 4, zero mistakes.

I thought blue was more obvious than green.

Caught my cat making that face recently.

This is who runs this account

A very annoyed-looking, regal black cat reclining on a high platform of a cat tree, with one paw draped over the side. His pupils are wide black pools of anger centered in green rings of spite, and he is glaring at something in the vicinity of the photographer’s right elbow. (Given his level of annoyance, the recipient of the glare is probably his adopted sister, who is not pictured. She was born with pure tortie-tude, and he is Not Having It.)

I have no dog and no snow. Would a photo of my cat protesting Mondays by trying to eat my office chair be of any help?

You almost can’t see my fridge through the magnets, and it’s hard to choose a favorite, but I like this one a lot.

Bing Crosby AND Danny Kaye No skirts, but I’d argue that’s only because logically, the sisters’ dresses wouldn’t have actually fit them. But they are performing a song about being sisters while dressed in parts of the women’s costumes, so it counts.

Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye wearing blue scarves, belts, and headbands and carrying large feathered fans as they perform “Sisters” in the movie White Christmas.

Looks like I do, too! I’m Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) trained and keep a well-stocked first aid kit and a case of bottled water on hand (especially during hurricane season).

A green canvas backpack with reflective patches and the letters C E R T stitched on it in bright yellow. Packs like this are worn or carried by people who are trained to provide community support in advance of the arrival of emergency services personnel during emergency situations. There is a piece of blue painter’s tape on the pack below the reflective patch.

This is the talking skeleton from The Last Unicorn. He’ll drink all your wine and betray you to greedy tyrant King Haggard for trying to escape with Lady Amalthea. Quite an asshole, but not a Nazi. (Haggard used the Red Bull to drive the unicorns into the sea so he could keep them for his own.)

Talking skeleton from The Last Unicorn, slumped on a rocky outcropping of a cave wall, looking very, very drunk and behaving like a desperate addict as he gestures toward something with one long-fingered hand. He wears the remnants of a pewter-colored crown comprised of a thin band topped with 4-5 thin, gemmed spikes.

A lighted water display at Universal Studios Florida. Jets of water shoot high into the air, lit from below in orangey-red, deep fuchsia, vibrant magenta, and blue-violet. They stand out against the dark night sky behind.

On iPhone? Or laptop? If phone, what settings do you have applied? Some are definitely better than others with the new “liquid glass” look. This is how it looks on mine:

Legend (1985) and Blade Runner (1982) - a Ridley Scott double feature (For a Rutger Hauer double feature, I’d show Blade Runner and Ladyhawke.)

Poster images from Legend and Blade Runner. The Legend poster depicts Tim Curry as Darkness, Tom Cruise as Jack, Mia Sara as Lili, and a single unicorn in a “golden hour” wooded background scene. The Blade Runner poster depicts Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, Sean Young as Rachael, Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty, and Daryl Hannah as Pris against a blue-toned dystopian city background.

No bingos for me. I may have a ton of bad habits, but I also have a few good ones. (My favorite, drilled into me by my first digital art prof, back in the pre-autosave days: save early, save often. He made us recite it at the start of every class.)
