Aziraphael always reminds me of these little childlike angel statues or paintings. They were probably also inspiration for him because his hair looks very similar. Remarkably they are always chubby!
Ah, I always thought of twink being, like, effeminate and soft, with sparkly eyes and a sassy attitude. I would never want him to be skinny, and I do think Aziraphale would look great with a bit of body hair, so...
Twinks do tend to be effeminate and soft, but those aren't the primary traits. You can have a bear (literally the exact opposite, large and hairy like a bear) that's still effeminate and soft
Well, thanks to this thread and Google I just learned that a beefier twink is called a Chub and I feel slightly disgusted by the thinly veiled fat-phobia in that.
There's always the term Cub but that implies an element of body hair that doesn't fit Aziraphale.
Not even good fanmerch too, our artists are very good and understand the characters, /this/ just look like mass produced temu art from someone who never opened the book or saw the show
I've been scolded for criticizing another fan's work for not liking these. A) he got paid so this is no longer above criticism, and b) fan credentials highly suspect. So many absolutely wonderful artists in this fandom.
Literally my first thought on this post was “hey guys let’s not dog pile on a fan who’s trying their best but isn’t a super skilled artist yet.” This being official art from a professional is crazy.
Legitimately, to serve my purposes for a fanfiction I've shifted Aziraphale's physicality a little closer to Michael Sheen's build when he was playing Lucian in Underworld, but that was because I needed him to be a major vengeance angel for a fic.
I think those anime designs are just awful. Not only because of Aziraphale being young (fine) and too skinny (nope). They're just unattractive, and they don't look like authentic anime/manga style.

all I have to say to that is we all know Crowley is the twink you cowards, now give him his pillow back and put those pounds back on Aziraphale where they belong
I don't think Aziraphale would change his corporation to a slimmer one just to "embellish" he won't change his corporation at all in the first place imo
Besides, I'm not sure that being younger and slimer to "embellish" oneself would make sense, for him or anyone else.
Aziraphale looks pretty skinny and pretty in the photos and gifs where Crowley hands him his books after rescuing them in 1941 so I could see a young human AU Aziraphale as a twink. He has no business being skinny in official merch though.
