Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] steadfast , I am currently in mourning.

Most of you out there in the Good Omens fandom most likely know of her fabulous fanfiction, and the ongoing Paradise Thwarted. In the latest chapter - SPOILER ALERT - a certain awesome someone dies.

I sort of knew this would happen, but I still spent most of the last part of that chapter crying. I was reeling at first, and then as the others mourned, so did I.

Michael is awesome, no matter how much I make fun of him; he's Saint Michael the Archangel, Badass of God the one who smote Lucifer from Heaven and can singlehandedly defeat a demon army. Viceroy of Heaven, God's Right Hand, Prince of the Seraphim, Leader of the Heavenly Host, Archistratege of God, Expeller of Satan, Advocate of Israel, Archangel of Warriors,  blah blah blah. Yes, I knew all of those by heart and can list more.

And Jen's Michael was adorable. Somehow, she managed to write a character who could loudly proclaim his awesomeness and simply elicit fondly exasperated sighs from us, rather than scorn for his ego. Michael was just too genuine and boyishly enthusiastic to be considered arrogant, or be scorned for his ego. And I roleplayed with him a lot, too, and couldn't help but love him. He's just so adorable. (Talking of roleplay, the archangel living in my head is... there is no nice way to put 'screaming and crying')

I literally cried out and grabbed my netbook screen when Azrael turned up, and read on in shock for a while. And then the tears came. :'S

AWESOMENESS WILL NEVER DIE.

Simon Baker is the PB for Michael in roleplay, and he's who I picture when I read about Jen's Michael.








^ I'm rather fond of this stained glass art of Michael too, though he's not blond in it.

Yes, I'm privileged enough to know what happens in the end. Somehow, I was still crying. Kudos to you, Jen!

*clings to Michael*

*hugs* But you can still roleplay with him. That version isn't dead.

I know, but... reading about his dying in PT was still painful for both myself and Gabriel. :'S

Okay, for the record, I LOVE that second picture. xD;

And um. I'm quite surprised at the outcry, to be honest, I really am. Michael, however, is beaming that everyone cares about "big old me."

Awww, Michael. <3 *snuggles* You're adorable, how could we not care? <3

I cried toooooo!! My Inner Raphael has been sobbing NON-STOP.

I drew an illustration of it (http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy92/Rh-II/1276573677.jpg) during my mourning Q.Q

I sorry :( It was just such a sad scene. Poor Gabriel, he always seemd to be the one left behind to deal with the pain doesn't he :(

*Raphael comes over and hugs Gabriel while he mourns*
