CW for withdrawal... and aspic
Hey look! Aspic is finally a part of the narrative! Along with two very pointed Gatsby references 👀
There is also something in the room I included specifically related to crowley! Can you find it?
THE THRONE

I haven’t had a chance to appreciate how gorgeous this is! All the background details like the throne, painting, and the car are wonderful! The brick work had to have taken forever and a day. I love Crowley’s sad face in the last panel and my heart breaks for them both! I’m so glad Aziraphale has Crowley ❤️ Also, thank you for the aspic, it has been so entertaining! I’ve found so many delightfully cursed photos on the internet 🍔🤭🤯😂

Gatsby owned that yellow car, and he also had a pink suit. Crowley's special reference is his throne - although I wonder how that got there. Or, maybe, Crowley took it FROM there! :D But I also want to swoon over how wonderful your surroundings are! That hotelroom - so luxurious, with that huge window - and WHAT a view! The smaller details you have added, like that awesome painting in the corridoor and the reflection in the mirror by the window. I also noticed that there seems to be sofa cushions thrown all around on the floor - why is that? Has Azi had a fit and thrown things around him?

The funniest part is that you name both references in your comment 😊

Crowley's throne! And look at that beautiful car in front of the hotel... I've only watched The great Gatsby with Leo DiCaprio once, so I'm afraid I won't finde these references. Love Crowley's pink suit. And I hope he finds something better for Aziraphale to eat than this abomination made of aspic!

Oh poor Aziraphale. Poor both of them. 💔💔💔 But the aspic made me laugh. It IS the worst thing ever, a crime against humanity if there ever was one

I really need some comfort now..... poor Zira. And poor, poor Crowley. He's feeling so guilty in the bathroom panel. I can't imagine how he's feeling NOW, seeing Aziraphale like that.....😭

Crowley should tell He'll he invented aspic. Get a commendation, and buy himself some time before another assignment. And like his throne at the table.

Crowley should tell Hell he invented aspiv

God, this hurts a lot. It may be possibly the worst part, although it still means progress. I hope Aziraphale won't have to go full human cold turkey though, it would destroy both of them. Maybe Crowley can help, if just a little? Anyway, this is amazing. I particularly loved the mirror in the fourth panel. Really a nice touch. <3

So is the idea here that Crowley “procured” his famous chair by nicking it from his hotel room? If so, I love it. Souvenir! He needs to get rid of that aspic immediately, though. In Aziraphale’s current condition, all he has to do is look at it and he’ll barf all over the place. Though I do agree with the idea that every time someone threw some veggies in gelatin and called it a “salad” (which happened A LOT in mid-century cookbooks I’ve seen) it was actually Hell behind the whole idea.
Kostgard
2020-08-23 15:05:46 +0000 UTC
Wonder if that aspic will actually taste good either because a) Aziraphale would expect all food to taste good because otherwise why make it? or b) Crowley's wish to be a good caretaker for his angel

I spy Crowley's chair 👀
And damn he looks amazing in this from the hair to the outfit. *fans self*
Poor Azi ❤ he's shaking so bad. Ugh this is so good. 💙💜💜💙❤❤❤

One of my besties went to JW and has regaled me with aspic horror stories. The car in the first panel is a Gatsby ref, yes? (Haven't read Gatsby since sophomore year, so who the hell knows)
Blair
2020-08-23 14:24:05 +0000 UTC
(I’m behind on reading because I don’t handle angst well without a definitive comfort conclusion, but seeing the frickin aspic made me cackle)

Thank whoever he has Crowley - that they have eachother. Withdrawal is so horrid for both parties.

Crowley, you cannot possibly make the poor angel eat that thing.... Surely it would make him sicker.

2020-08-23 13:35:59 +0000 UTC
The last slide KILLED MEEEE. ALSO, as a culinary student, Aspic is something we royally don't make because of how awful it is. It's so gross, especially what's in it🤢🤢
Ashley Langlois
2020-08-23 13:31:43 +0000 UTC
yeah, it says "the Viking Hotel" on the first panel

I just remember you mentioned some cuddles. It felt like the right time. 💕
Melina Barbuto
2020-08-23 13:13:06 +0000 UTC
That entire process is way too much for me to draw right now, so I will not be digging in too deep. Everybody needs cuddles in this story, and frankly so do I. It will not get that gnarly I promise you 💕
Whiteley Foster
2020-08-23 13:11:23 +0000 UTC
It's only started, yet. There's the shakes, the nausea, then the taking it out on whoever is closest.. in waves, like it'll repeat. And finally the wiped out miserable exhaustion where he'd rather be dead. He might even ask for hellfire before it's over, since he's been on whatever he's been taking for several years now. Depends on how mentally stable he is, whether he can get over that hurdle without actually coming out and asking. He's gonna need some serious therapy. Crowley might too, because the whole process is incredibly painful all around.

Is it a hotel? I thought it was a private sanitarium. Meant for high-class detox. The 1920's version of Betty Ford.
Kaiannanthi
2020-08-23 12:49:15 +0000 UTC
I’m ready for their cuddles now 😭 I hate that he’s suffering so much...but glad he has Crowley.
Melina Barbuto
2020-08-23 12:28:09 +0000 UTC
That is a ridiculously pretty aspic. He should see some of the ones I’ve seen. At least there’s color
WeAreStarStuff618
2020-08-23 12:26:09 +0000 UTC
On the other hand, this is probably the hardest part of detox. Good job portraying this. It's completely awful to watch your loved one go through this. But especially in Aziraphale's case, it's necessary for him to stay off the drugs later. Hopefully, the memory of this horrible time will be stronger than any urge to try again.
Kaiannanthi
2020-08-23 12:25:48 +0000 UTC
Ahh, nvm. Someone already got it.
Kaiannanthi
2020-08-23 12:11:23 +0000 UTC
It's his throne chair.

The sheer amount of Judgment coming off Crowley in panel 3. He should absolutely take credit for aspic. 😂

"I'm afraid I'm not hungry" from Aziraphale gives me more chills than any scene in a horror movie. 😔

The pink suit. YAY!!! The aspic? 🤢🤮 Crowley's throne 👌 Idk why, but I thought Crowley was coming back to an empty room? POOR AZIRAPHALE!!!

IneffableKink
2020-08-23 11:35:38 +0000 UTC
Absolutely! 😅
My parents in law produce and sell that stuff in their restaurant here in Germany with meat in it. The guests love it, but every time I prepare an ordered plate, it seems to me that someone has thrown up on a salad bouquet and I'm told to cover it with cut red onions just to hide it. No need to take an eating break for at least an hour afterwards 🤢.

and the pink suit, got that reference....
Thanks for yet another wonderful update to this story... despite both aspic and withdrawal 😉

2020-08-23 11:06:08 +0000 UTC
oh, oh poor dear... withdrawal is a very hard thing to get through to say the least, but it is good Aziraphale got Crowley for support, something and someone to hold on to 😔 wiggling aspic followed by a panel with Aziraphale shaking in his struggles and his voice small and breaking (at least he sounds this way in my head) hurts very much, but now I believe in them, together they can do it, I believe they can fight this 🥺
you make the most beautiful interiors, this hotel room has so many gorgeous, unique details, love it ❤️ especially the panel with Crowley's reflection in a mirror, beautiful detail ❤️ and yeah, Crowley would definitely be promoted for this cursed dish 😣

2020-08-23 11:05:41 +0000 UTC
Fyre got it! It’s the pink suit! (Thank you for noticing the painting though, it’s based off of a famous 1919 painting called Tennis at Newport, took me a while to paint it 😂 )
Whiteley Foster
2020-08-23 11:04:11 +0000 UTC
I was also thinking the painting kinda looks like a scene from the movie

I have also loved the sneak peeks of Crowley and the aspic all week, and still love it now! 😂

I thought we might be seeing this this weekend, based on the chibi drawing...this is lovely. The worst thing Crowley has ever seen. Love it. And Crowley's suit is just delightful.

I love the idea of Crowley sending something utterly vile to Beez and Zi liking it, it’s so awful it’s probably considered a delicacy in hell. Poor babies I’m glad Aziraphale isn’t going through this alone
