twitter family

Summary:

down with the patriarchy @peppergaladriel
if 11-year-old us saw us now, living in 3 different cities, seeing each other once a month, and sort of gay, depressed & surviving uni thanks to coffee and cheap wine

pew pew @BRIAN007
the apocalypse almost seems unreal now lol

 

Or: it's been eight years since the Nopocalypse, Crowley and Aziraphale are still on Twitter, the kids go to university, and it's Adam and Warlock's turn to follow their godparents' example and hopelessly pine for each other.

[A sequel to twitter cryptids.]

Notes:

here we finally are. twitter cryptids part 2, set in 2026. I hope you like it as much as the first one! <3

now, before we start, let's catch up on the kids because it would take too long to explain in the fic:

Adam - 18, bi, studies environmental science (the same thing as Anathema) at Oxford, works at a vegetarian bistro
Warlock - 18, gay, studies computer science at University of London (with a future specialisation in either game development or VR), works at an escape room and hates is
Pepper - 19, lesbian, studies gender studies at LSE, writes articles sometimes, has a girlfriend
Wensleydale - 18, ace, studies economics at Oxford, doesn't work, no relationship
Brian - 19, straight, is a mechanic apprentice in Reading, drives for Uber Eats, has a girlfriend
Trixie - 18, straight, a high school senior, will study art at UCLA from September onwards, does commissions and fanart, no relationship, long-distance friends with the Them

Adam & Wensley still live in Tadfield and carpool to uni in Adam's car (spoiler alert: Crowley taught him how to drive), Warlock & Pepper & her gf share a flat in London, and Brian moved to Reading (pronounced red-ing for those who don't know; it's like a 20-minute drive to where Tadfield would be) with his family when he was 16. and just a reminder for Americans that they can legally drink at that age in the UK :)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Tegan 🌿🌱 @smol_potato
you know, it’s really funny that here he’s the #TwitterCryptids demon but in his videos he gives no sign he’s anything but a human who knows a lot of things and it’s CONFUSING

 

Lucy Ferrera @lucyfer
@smol_potato and even if the youtube people follow him here they think it’s another one of his pranks jfsfskc

 

🍕 pizza 🍕 @pepperony
ikr? he’s fucking with people on purpose

 

Connor @28connor
obviously, he’s a demon 😁😁

 

in your dreams @cannoli_oli
those people out there really still think he’s exaggerating and using his History Teacher Knowledge when he literally showed photos he and aziraphale took in the 19th century once like calm down nonbeliever karens who subbed for the recipes

down with the patriarchy @peppergaladriel
it’s an incident we Do Not Talk About

 

queen of mars 👽 @TrixArt
so you’re far enough in the relationship to talk about adam being the antichrist, eh, pepper? 😏

 

down with the patriarchy @peppergaladriel
binch nat is the love of my LIFE

 

natasha @gingeralecat

queen of mars 👽 @TrixArt

Amen 👼🏿 @amenadiel
Uncle Crowley did WHAT?

 

walking panic noodle @ajcrowley
ehhh it was the coronavirus year, holidays were difficult

 

 

 

down with the patriarchy @peppergaladriel
friend 1: *heart eyes*
friend 2: *heart eyes back*
both: in denial
me: 🤦🏾♀️

 

witch mum @anathema_d
almost reminds me of their uncles…

 

Bookworm @tea_and_scones
We were like that, weren’t we?

 

walking panic noodle @ajcrowley
wait,, are u talking about adam and warlock? ADAM and WARLOCK? since WHEN

 

witch mum @anathema_d

walking panic noodle @ajcrowley
but- but- BUT-

 

emo prince @warlocking
excuse me I may be a gay disaster but I’m not in love with adam?? he’s my best friend??

 

Save the Planet 🌍 @AdamYoung

Bookworm @tea_and_scones
Ah. I see 😇😏 Shall we bring better wine and cake for tomorrow’s picnic in Tadfield?

 

witch mum @anathema_d

down with the patriarchy @peppergaladriel
PLEASE 🙏🏾

 

pew pew @BRIAN007
the one good thing about 2020 is that it was the year aziraphale finally learnt to bake

 

 

 

walking panic noodle @ajcrowley
one more month. ONE MORE MONTH and then the semester’s over. you can do this, crowley, it’s your third year doing it

 

no. 1 history fan @haleyscometh
yep, relatable

 

aesthetic @coffeelove
do you ever regret aziraphale talking you into it? university of brighton?

 

walking panic noodle @ajcrowley
welllllllll I could quit any time could I? and I like having an audience that listens to me and doesn’t ask me what a computer is. I’m sharing my memories with someone who’s interested in them, imagine that! and besides, there’s a lot of low-grade evil in academia.

walking panic noodle @ajcrowley
and, u know. he was right. by the 4th year of living together, things really got Intense because we are, deep down, still an angel and a demon who are VERY capable of driving each other mad. so now that we both work, we see each other evenings & weekends like back in the day
|
walking panic noodle @ajcrowley
and it’s alright. we look forward to the company, esp when we don’t even work at the same campus. cabin fever & boredom gets to everyone. his snapping and telling me he was getting a job and I could either go with him or continue being a useless demon was what I needed, really

walking panic noodle @ajcrowley
bonus point: aziraphale doesn’t even mind riding the bentley to work every day as much anymore now that I managed to undo the queen curse and learnt to slow down when there’s “traffic”. he even tried driving once :)

 

Bookworm @tea_and_scones
Which was enough, thank you very much. A demonic machine! I prefer mopeds.

 

walking panic noodle @ajcrowley
and going 40mph, yeah, I know. you do you

 

melinda p. @holyfool
I didn’t know mr aziraphale could drive anything at all

 

Bookworm @tea_and_scones
Oh, needs must. I can’t get everywhere I need by wing, or with Crowley.

 

turtleneck kween @turtelturtle

I saw him fly once and he landed in our swimming pool
