Aziraphale may have been a bit tipsy by the time we reached the castle. 10/?
The night's adventures also included pirates, a wild mine train, and a haunted mansion. 9/?
A cruise through the jungle includes snakes and the back side of water. 8/?
Aziraphale remembered the "before" photo this time. The desserts are: passion fruit mousse, corn cheesecake, chocolate peanut butter cake, and two zebra domes (little chocolate mousse rum cakes.) 6/?
Crowley, meanwhile, took a moment to say hi to his rat friends. 5/?
Despite having eaten all the delicious German food, Aziraphale couldn't help but stop for some crepes. 4/?
Here's the dinner part. Aziraphale would have shown you his dessert, but he forgot to take a picture until he'd eaten it all. Crowley preferred the drinks. 3/?
Okay, bluesky is being annoying, so trying fewer pictures at a time. (Hopefully you aren't going to later on get a whole bunch of replies here!) Here is dinner and a show at a German biergarten. 2/?
Ineffables on Vacation, a thread. The #IneffableHusbands arrived at a lovely hotel the other day. They won't be going near the water due to alligators and snakes. Crowley doesn't want the competition. 1/?
My locket. I freaking loved this thing as a teenager because it actually opened and was deep enough to put something in. (Like a single advil, lol)
Thank you @ineffablesilver.bsky.social ! This poor babygirl has a home now.
And finally, some bracelets!! The blue one is all lapis, and the green/purple is African jade and fluorite. Magnetic clasp came from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social and I love it.
These ones have neat settings but were broken, so I had to use glue. Also a little scratched up. They still look pretty, though. The peridot will eventually get some tiny stones to go around the center, but haven't planned that out yet.
These were just plain rings without stones. I could use better tools to do stone setting, but regardless I love the blue topaz here.
Did some cool jewelry stuff last night! First up, this refurb sterling silver ring that I got for only $6. All the tiny stones were missing, and I've replaced them with blue crystal, and I love how that looks. I want to eventually replace the center stone too.
The fish earrings and the snek. I love these silly creatures so much!
Mail from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social has arrived!!! Insane fish, snek, cool pendants, and white sapphire earrings for kiddo. Plus, a rainbow whistle. More close ups in thread.
Wearing my dragon scale pendant from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social today in anticipation of the Dragon's Den collection! Also some of my many creatures.
So, thank you, @peculiarityshop.bsky.social and QueerVC for teaching me to recognize this stuff!!! Also, any idea what the stones might be?
Here's me wearing it. I'm about to head out to my event. I always thought these pieces were cool. Now I know what they're worth, too!
Y'all... This is vintage Mexican sterling, probably from the 1920s-1940s. It's weighty. It's sturdy. It's gorgeous. And I had NO IDEA what I had.
@pandersonstudio.bsky.social is amazing. Check out this Crowley and Aziraphale from the end credits. Someone please write this fanfic.
