Yall might be onto something here!

It could be Crowley‘s way of saying “I hate what you’re doing, but I trust you”. Crowley might have realized that the Metatron is watching them and that he can’t downright say what he wants to say.

I still believe the emotions and hurt in this scene were genuine on both sides. But that doesn’t mean there is no second secret meaning. I mean pretty much everything in this show has a double or triple meaning, and the final fifteen probably say 10 different things at the same time.

Michael babygirl, I apologize now for the close-up screenshots of your mouth I am going to put on the internet. Call Neil if you have issues with it, it's his fault.

Honey, why are you chewing on a ball bearing? I was going to be lenient and say it's a glint off of some saliva but nah she's suckin on a damn pie weight. I didn't see her take a bite of any dippin dots, did you? Who let her near my stash of Buckyballs that I was hiding from the Consumer Product Safety Commission? Just because you are bbgurl doesn't mean you get to eat bbpellets.

CROWLEY’S LAMENT!!!

At long last, it’s here! My eight minute Good Omens-inspired rock opera/character study Crowley’s Lament is out TODAY. This has been such a labor of love for the better part of a year, and I am unbelievably proud to finally present it to all of you. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll headbang. You’ll squeal. I hope you enjoy my music, lyrics, and Walmart David Tennant voice. To the World, everyone!!!

Special thanks to @holmee for the GORGEOUS thumbnail art- I asked for Crowley dramatically sprawled out on a piano and she couldn’t have possibly delivered finer results.

i saw a very interesting post recently from @fellthemarvelous about how Aziraphale is often treated the way female love interests are— likely because his hobbies and emotions are more traditionally feminine whereas crowley’s style and anger are more traditionally masculine despite the fact that neither of them are gendered. the thesis of the post was essentially that because crowley is the one who fell, fans have decided that aziraphale only exists to comfort and protect and bring peace to crowley rather than be his own person with his own emotions and ambitions. i’d never been able to put this into words, but it’s like this person stole what i was feeling right from my brain and i am so thankful to their eloquence.

but it did get me thinking about the end of season 2— specifically how many fans, even people who defend aziraphale for what he did, believe that the “only” way for his choices in the finale to be valid are if he did them for crowley’s safety/well-being. i’ve seen so many arguments along the lines of “oh, he has to go back so he can fix Heaven for Crowley and make heal from falling” or “oh, he has to go back to Heaven because if he doesn’t, Metatron could go after crowley and he needs to keep him safe”. and while both of these very popular aziraphale-defenses are valid (this is not an attack on anyone’s opinion!) and i wouldn’t be surprised if they played into his reasoning for leaving, i can’t help but think of that lovely person’s female-love-interest argument.

i don’t actually think aziraphale leaving for heaven needs to be related to crowley at all. it can, of course— and likely does— but aziraphale has gone through just as much Heaven-induced trauma as crowley has, something that many fans (and even the characters themselves, sometimes) like to forget. aziraphale knows first-hand how abusive Heaven is to young angels and humans who they deem unworthy of being saved. and so to me, it is just as valid if it turns out aziraphale going back to Heaven wasn’t “for” crowley at all, but rather a way to protect these other generations from the abuse of Heaven that aziraphale has witnessed and been victim to. is it so hard or unacceptable to think that aziraphale could make a choice that doesn’t have to do with his love life? he is not obligated—nor is crowley!— to live entirely as though he’s making something up/repaying/protecting his love interest. that kind codependency is not something to idolize. i guess what i’m trying to say here is that there are other reasons to go back to Heaven having nothing to do with keeping crowley safe, and while that is a perfectly valid interpretation, i’m not personally a fan of the widespread belief that it’s the only interpretation that makes what aziraphale did “forgivable”.

#THIS #I personally believe he had several reasons for going back #protecting Crowley ofc #but ALSO protecting the humans and earth #and actually make a change in heaven and help angels such as Muriel #and also ofc him being not 100% healed from his trauma #I don’t even think he underdtands all of them hinself #good omens #good omens 2 #the final fifteen

“Have you ever heard of David Tennant?”

Crowley blinked. Not that he needed to of course, but it helped him to think like a human sometimes.

“David Who?”

“Tennant.”

“Are you talking about your tenant who owns the shop for musical instruments? Wasn’t his name David?”

“What? No! I mean yes, Mr. Arnold’s first name is David I believe. But that is not what I was talking about. Even though Mr. Arnold does play a role in this.”

Crowley’s head was swimming. Now he was utterly confused.

————————

Just posted chapter 1 of my first (ao3) fanfiction! If you ever wondered what would happen, if Crowley found out about the existence of David Tennant, this is the story for you. Chaotic fun and trauma in one package deal!

Guess I should get going with my matching 9 minute Aziraphale song, too.

ATTENTION GOOD OMENS ARTISTS!!! POTENTIAL COMMISSION

I'm currently working on the Good Omens fan song to end all Good Omens fan songs: Crowley's Lament, an 8 minute MT/rock opera that takes us on a journey through his character, from pulsing piano-fueled frustration with the Almighty to romantic longing to crushing heartbreak. It's swaggering. It's dark. It's dramatic. It's funny. It's devastating. It's Crowley. I truly think you guys are gonna love it, and I'm hoping to have a demo fully produced and on Youtube sometime within the next few months. This song is in need of a THUMBNAIL!!! The idea I have in mind is Crowley dramatically sprawled out on a piano, and I don't think any other art like this exists. So if you're interested, please DM me with your going rate, and I'll look at your art and choose based on whoever's style fits what I have in mind! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

#THIS IS GOING TO BE HUGE #whatever you think of how great her song is going to be #it’ll be SO much greater #trust me #crowley's lament #crowley #good omens #david tennant #fan art #good omens art #musical theatre #fandom #original song

ok i can't sit on this. i love parallels being drawn between the bookshop and eden, and the books within and the tree of knowledge etc. but have we thought about how the bookshop might actually represent the tree of life? yk, the very thing in eden the cherub(im) were meant to guard in the first place, so adam and eve could not achieve immortality? are we sleeping on how aziraphale doesn't like to sell those books. that stories themselves are eternal, in the sense that the characters and people within them live forever. and that in order for him to appropriately part with the books and the bookshop itself, to be able to start afresh in the south downs and fully shed the cloak of his original purpose, he might end up finally giving them away to humans? gives away the fruit? how he's already started doing so? have we thought about this? can anyone hear m

New concept idea: blackout poetry of the bible but make it as gay as possible (and good omens themed of course)

[flyingfluse]

YESS! Crowley is the name he chose for himself, so Aziraphale calling him by his chosen name instead of the demon name that was given to him says SO MUCH about how he values Crowley as an individual and his autonomy. Bonus points for the fact that Crowley most likely chose the name in remembrance of the crows in the Job minisode that symbolize both Crowley’s hidden kindness as well as their nascent trust in the other and partnership.

Okay. Okay. I get that we all love Crowley calling Aziraphale 'angel' (bcz WHO FUCKING DOESN'T?? I MEAN, "Blasphemy? That's not not like you, angel." KILLS ME EVERY TIME) and obviously everyone wants Azi to have some cute little pet name for him (**ahem** 'dear' **ahem**) BUT JUST HEAR ME OUT.

BUT WHAT IF. The cute little pet name is literally just?? His name?? Like, I can't be the only one noticing how many times Aziraphale starts his sentences with 'Crowley,' even in the middle of a conversation with no one else around he could be talking to??

ANDANDAND he's the only angel who calls Crowley by his name as opposed to 'demon' (Yes, I'm talking about the fucking metratron rn) or 'the demon Crowley', 'the enemy', etc.

BUT THE THING IS, Crowley never TOLD Aziraphale his name the first time they met- we don't even know what his name WAS back when he was an angel- we know he's changed it before, and the original 'Crawley' doesn't seem particularly suited to an Angel ("well, you were a snake") so we don't even fucking KNOW the name heaven called him back when he was the starmaker.

Even hell barely call him Crowley, with the first scene of Ligur (literally one of the demons Crowley interacts with the MOST after Beezlebub and probably Hastur) featuring him asking "what's he calling himself these days?" (probably just another representation of how little hell actually cares about him, but moving on)

OVERALL, the only person (angel? being? idfk) to CONSTANTLY refer to him by name- whilst talking TO him, not ABOUT him- is Aziraphale. Personally, I think that constitutes a 'cute little pet name' 😇😇

[flyingfluse]

Aziraphale is literally such a good character. The more I think about him the more I go completely feral. He was specifically created as a warrior to fight and protect. He’s soft and camp and likes feather boas. He’s spent 6000 years acting like he’s the most kind and polite perfect little angel but he’ll fucking destroy you with a single glare. He’s an absolute bitch. His face lights up with the smile of a thousand suns. He’ll kill someone for crêpes with his boyfriend. He lies to God. He needs the biggest hug in the whole world. His standards will NEVER be met. He has travel sweets. He painted his bookshop the colour of his soulmate’s eyes. He’s one bad day away from having a mental breakdown so intense it would explode half the planet. He loves humans so much but if any of them so much as speak to him he’ll require three business days to recuperate. He is THE Southern Pansy. He declared war on Hell because they interrupted the Jane Austen ball he meticulously planned just to dance with his boyfriend. He is so so traumatised and hasn’t experienced a straightforward emotion in his life. He WOULD bite people if he was given the opportunity. He is the most annoying bastard you’ve ever met (affectionate). He can’t speak French.
