We all agree that Crowley hardened pretty quickly between the time of the crucifixion and Rome, yes? He’s seen horrific things done by humans and to humans, whether this comes from their own wonderful, terrible imaginations, or on Heaven’s orders. He’s sulking in this scene specifically because the human he was supposed to tempt toward evil is already doing the butterfly stroke in the deep end. He’s jaded and cynical – about the world, humanity, Heaven, Hell…

…and about Aziraphale.

Because I think that when we see him in Rome, Crowley’s written Aziraphale off. I know it’s appealing to think this disaster snake’s been 100% smitten with his angel since the Beginning – lord knows I stan that headcanon hard – but follow me down this path for a second. 

Under a cut because this is long and image-heavy.

Principal: Mr. Fell, the reason why I called you is because your child punched one of his classmates today.

Warlock: He called Nanny a freak and said she's not a real woman!

Aziraphale, pretending to be mad: Well... young man, let me tell you I am NOT proud of your behaviour AT ALL. You just got yourself in a lot of trouble. I'm talking about DISCIPLINE. If you thought this would change our mind about not going to Disneyland this summer you were absolutely WRONG. And you are NOT getting extra icecream for this either.

Warlock: But...

Aziraphale: NO BUTS, YOUNG MAN! Maybe not buying that new videogame you wanted will teach you to think before punching transphobic little arseholes...

Principal: what

Warlock: what

Aziraphale: what

Crowley leaving Warlock at school: Good luck with your test, kid.

Warlock, not paying attention: Thanks, mom.

Crowley, five minutes later: WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME *almost crashes the Bentley*

Warlock, taking his seat at the classroom: *eyes shot open wide* I MEAN NANNY

So... Hear me out.

Crowley clearly was supposed to be a gardener for Warlock. He knows how to deal with plants, his houseplants are the most gorgeous in the entire London, and he has probably centuries of experience with them. Right? So why did he choose to be the Nanny? Like, of course you can argue that Crowley is secretly a softie who wanted to hang out with a little boy, but consider this:

Aziraphale runs a bookshop. He clearly likes to be alone, in peace and quiet. Of course, he loves people, that's simply how he is - a being of love, but I doubt he would enjoy a constant company of a small, kinda mischievous child like Warlock.

CROWLEY CHOSE TO BE A NANNY BECAUSE HE LOVES AZIRAPHALE AND CARES ABOUT HIS COMFORT MORE THAN HIS OWN, FIGHT ME

Warlock Dowling is not an idiot.

He may only be six years old, but he has eyes. (He heard his mother say that to his father in one of their arguments recently, and he rather likes the sound of the phrase.) He can see things. He’s not an idiot.

And that’s how he knows Nanny Ashtoreth and Brother Francis are in love.

Nanny Ashtoreth’s face goes a funny color when he tells her that, and she makes a strange noise that sounds like “ngk” before she asks, voice a little wobbly, “What makes you think that, dear?”

“You look at each other like you’re in love,” Warlock explains. “You smile at Brother Francis, like this.” He tries to mimic the soft, loving smile that’s always on Nanny’s face when she’s looking at Brother Francis and thinks no one is looking at her. “And you talk to him like you’re in love too. You don’t call Brother Francis stupid, and you don’t tell me to crush him underneath my heels.”

“Well-”

“And Brother Francis looks at you like this, when you’re not looking,” Warlock adds, and he does his best to mimic the fond, tender look that’s always on Brother Francis’s face when he’s looking at Nanny and thinks no one is looking at him. “And he told me to have love for all living creatures, and I said ‘even Nanny?’ and he said ‘especially Nanny.’”

Nanny stares. (She may have her sunglasses on, but Warlock can tell she’s staring anyway.) Warlock looks up at her smugly. “And I’ve seen you going into his cottage at night,” he adds. “Cause you’re in love.”

After a long moment, Nanny kneels down in front of him. “You may not be entirely wrong,” she admits. “But let’s keep this our little secret, alright?”

“Alright,” Warlock agrees easily. Then he stops, frowns, and asks, “Can I have ice cream, if I keep it a secret?”

Nanny laughs and stands, taking Warlock’s hand. “Yes, little hellspawn, you can.”

Warlock skips along next to Nanny as they head to the kitchen. Nanny and Brother Francis are in love, he figured it out all by himself, and now he’s getting ice cream. Life, he decides, is good.

(And maybe, when Nanny and Brother Francis get married, Warlock will get to be in the wedding!)

Good Omens Headcanons: Disposable Demon

i think Bunny Demon is a much better name for him, i’ve read it somewhere here on tumblr. in the script book he’s called junior demon

in some lists of the show’s cast it says his name is Eric??? I’ll take that one

fucking look at him he’s so cute

he gets fed to the hell hound in ep1 and has several versions of himself in ep4, so it’s clear why he’s the ‘disposable demon’ and why he’s the one sent to Heaven for Aziraphale’s trial: when things could get ugly, even for Hell’s standards, he’s the one to do the job

his curse is to be reborn every few days, but his memories never actually vanish (so he does remember Hastur killing him, too)

thus i really really like the idea of we/us/our pronouns but hey

definitely has been killed off for fun by Hastur and Ligur before

does he think about his role in the grand scheme of things? about his dark raison d’être? his purpose? write me some angst goddammit;;

he’s so enthusiastic and proud??? like, he genuinely likes to explain the plan to Hastur and is so well informed about everything

he makes jokes. guys, this is important. Crowley is said to be the only demon with an imagination, and yet Eric knows jokes and thinks of funny/charming things to say, even if his jokes are rubbish

‘darkforce one’ omg please marry me

seems to know that Hastur is out of sorts with Crowley, so he’s either very empathetic or very well informed, or both

his face is so expressive! he’s giggly and excited! boy is emotional

he knows about recent human culture. he knows what jokes are, he knows what selfies are. he’s probably been to Earth a fair bit

the way he talks about selfies leads me to believe he likes to take selfies;;

he jokes about avocados and is So Ironic about them, but he eats avocado toast on a regular basis you can’t change my mind

probably listens to k-pop

knows about the greek and the fields of meggido. he’s that one colleague who’s educated af and way overqualified for the job, but explains everything in easy language for everyone to understand

goth aesthetics, black lace, giant scarves

look at his killer make-up! he enjoys doing make-up, nail polish etc.

in jewish iconography bunnies are ‘unclean’, so maybe that’s why he sports that aesthetic. in ancient greece, bunnies were gifts between lovers, symbolized vitality, and attributed Aphrodite (wow). in christian iconography they symbolize mostly lust and unbridled sexuality, one of the seven deadly sins

‘breed/spawn like rabbits’ — that may be the reason there are so many versions of him

but, given that he is familiar with recent human culture, he must know about pet bunnies or even playboy bunnies. anyway he chose(?) fucking bunny ears over insect/amphibian/reptilian aesthetics he’s soft

I really like the hc that Crowley’s yellow eyes aren’t the only snake thing about him n he’s got scales instead of skin in some places n stuff like that. I have this scenario in my head that I haven’t been able to work into a fic where Crowley usually likes the finest human food but sometimes he just. Gotta eat a tasty looking snake food because it looks too good. And once the cottage gets an infestation and Aziraphale is like “oh gotta call the exterminator i guess” but Crowley. He doesn’t call the exterminator he gets into an old set of clothes and tears up the baseboard while Aziraphale is out for the day intending to get the house put back together before he gets home so Aziraphale doesn’t find out this embarrassing thing he’s going to do. But he just finds the rats and pounces on them and unhinges his jaw and goes to town. But Aziraphale comes back early and walks in on him swallowing a rat whole. And is like “my dear what the fuck.” But Crowley can’t answer because he has a fucking rat halfway down his throat

The Good Omens costumes at FIDM Los Angeles!

[dorlyphrisila]

Hello Mr. Gaiman, I hope you are having a good day/night so far. So this may be a silly question, but there is still one thing i can quite wrap around my head: Why was Crowley watching a movie about pastel bunny rabbits of all things?

Because that was what was playing, and he wanted to sit down and collect his thoughts in a dark place. In my head, he’s somewhere like the old Victoria Station cartoon theatre, long since demolished (1981 I think) in our world, but perhaps Aziraphale kept it around a bit longer in the Good Omens universe, because Crowley once mentioned that he’d liked it.

[dorlyphrisila]

Hello Mr. Gaiman! I have two questions to ask of you: 1. What’s the show playing on the TV when Crowley meets up with Mr Shadwell to talk about finding Adam for the first time? 2. Do you plan on releasing a sequel for Good Omens or are you going to keep it as it is in Terry Pratchetts honour?

1) Witchfinder General, starring Vincent Price.

2) There is an entire novel plot that nobody knows about, and Terry was absolutely in favour of that story being told. Whether or not we do it depends on a lot of factors though. (Of which my time is a big one.)

Lost Hat (A short comic) 

This was the scene that inspired me to draw the comic. The idea has been in my head since June, after the release of the Good Omens episodes. It went lying in my folders for a while, but I’m glad to finally have it finished!  Thank you for reading :)
