#crowley had a book with him

[astrhae]

Do I look like I run a bookshop?

Anthony J. Crowley, aka The Co. to A.Z. Fell and Co.

#crowley doesn't just know where things are #he didn't bother to miracle aziraphale's chair back in place #he put it back properly by himself in a very very human way #do you sometimes think that #the first time aziraphale saw crowley #crowley had a book with him #granted it was a book about how to make a nebula #but it was a book nonetheless #crowley and his imagination and enjoying a good story #as much if not more than the next person #and aziraphale admitting they both get enough use from the bookshop #that angel knew what he was doing #when he added 'and Co.' to the bookshop name #my edits #good omens #good omens 2 #good omens spoilers #good omens 2 spoilers #aziraphale #crowley #ineffable husbands #goodomensedit

CROWLEY SSR THOUGHTS

there is zero basis for this, but I can't get this thought of my head

I don't know why I decided to draw it this way

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #(these will be relevant in a moment) #this isn't going to happen. but WHAT IF. #anyway i didn't get him (damnit birdman come home) so i had to look up his story #and let me tell you friends my findings were SHOCKING #crowley canonically likes vegetables which means that the crowley is revaan theory = BUSTED #crowley is sailor venus = CONFIRMED #(i know 'whip of love' is a saying but that's where my mind always goes) #DISCLAIMER: this is (mostly) a joke please continue to hold whatever theories and headcanons you want #but look. c'mon. look over here at this whiteboard i've covered in red yarn. #revaan being a picky eater has come up multiple times and there is an entire whole bit about how much he hated jerky and refused to eat it #and now they've made a point of talking about how crowley will eat almost anything and loOoOoves wild game meat especially #it's SO stupid but i can't help but read way too much into it #(this is tumblr if you don't want to see incredibly stupid overanalysis of anime guys then why are you HERE) #and i gotta hold on to something because otherwise whenever malleus and crowley are onscreen together i just keep going 'same hair color... #unless this is like. some kind of deep cover thing. #lilia doesn't recognize him because he saw him eat a green bean once and revaan would NEVER #crowley's secret is safe for another day #(serious hat on: i do think they're probably connected in some way) #(but there's something deeper going on that we're just not clued into yet that will hopefully explain things) #man forget revaan what if crowley whips off his mask and it turns out he was meleanor this whole time #wait hold on meleanor loves jerky. IT ALL FITS...

"Safety"

I just think he deserves to sit in a window and look at his stars until he falls asleep...

#good omens #good omens fanart #crowley #mine #my art #aziraphale was in the middle of clearing that space for crowley because there's a specific star you can only really see from this window #he was going to make it really nice for him #pillows and a blanket and a bottle of châteauneuf-du-pape waiting for him #but then crowley came over one day sooner than aziraphale expected #and when aziraphale comes home to the bookshop that night #he finds his demon curled up on the windowsill #draped over a few books aziraphale hadn't had time to move yet #but looking comfortable enough #and very peacefully asleep #don't worry #aziraphale is about to bring him a blanket

[p4nishers]

"when aziraphale asks for help in s3 crowley will refuse him" have you SEEN the show?? have you ever in your life watched good omens?? that mf will JUMP on any opportunity even the smallest one to be close to aziraphale again he would drink gallons of holy water if aziraphale asked him to!! that bitch will be up there in heaven THE MILLISECOND he even thinks something is wrong don't be ridiculous

#i feel like yall r forgetting they had a BIG ass falling out after the 1867 fight the script book literally says they haven't talked in OVER #A HUNDRED YEARS and what does crowley do the first time he sees aziraphale after??? fucking SAVE HIM #idk but yall but i very much haven't forgotten #good omens #good omens s2 #azicrow #crowley #aziraphale #aziracrow #ineffable spouses

Does Crowley actually destroy the "bad" plants?

I think not!

Neil Gaiman notably suggested once that he makes the shredder noise to frighten the plants, then sneaks the plant with leaf spots out and gives it to the old lady downstairs.

However, this was just in response to a question asking what could be told to a child who was upset by the scene, and so could not be considered canon. It does seem in character, but trying to be mindful of not headcanonning Crowley into too much of a meow-meow, I was prepared to believe either possibility.

But then, I was reading the book. And though much of the scene in the show was taken line for line, in the book it doesn't say he shreds the plants, or that the sound of a shredder is heard, or anything like that. It says he leaves the flat with the offending plant, and returns an hour or so later with an empty pot.

About the right amount of time to pop downstairs, have a chat and a cup of tea, and re-pot a plant, wouldn't you say? Hmmmmmmm.

#a cupperty if you will #it wouldn't be the first time something was “suggested” that later turned out to be canon: see Greasy Johnson #I need more content of Crowley and his wholesome friendship with the old lady downstairs #remember this is the same Crowley who canonically watches the Golden Girls #Tangent: much has been discussed on the subject of Crowley treating his plants as a mirror to the way Hell treats him: #This is also in the book: “It was the way they talked to you. As if you were a houseplant who had started shedding leaves on the carpet.” #good omens #crowley #anthony j crowley #good omens book #good omens meta

I have this disease called I love drawing them doing absolutely fuck all

#good omens #book omens #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #Azi is soo thinking “I cant not fuck him” #also hc that Crowley keeps pothos vines #and had one that lived for 20 years and was devastated when it died. #He will not admit to this ever #wowie look at that #air conditioning #aloe's awsome art

[idliketobeatree]

rereading the book omens again and I must admit, Aziraphale really is That Bitch most of the time. that being said, I really enjoy the special kind of uwu and sluttiness Michael brings to the table

#he's The Southern Pansy. and overall #such a lovable bastard #you can actually see how much Crowley has to win him over #and convince him to stop the Apocalypse #you'd never guess he's an angel just from his behaviour bc the bitchiness is so strongly layered #wonder how much of that is Heaven's residue personality #and how much him being... well #himself #so complex and interesting #i thank Michael Sheen everyday for bringing this character to the screen #good omens #aziraphale #ineffable husbands #book omens #air conditioning #also in the show he's so smitten with Crowley it's actually embarrassing #the difference between book omens and show omens is that in the show Aziraphale is a teen girl with a massive (un)requited crush #and in the book he's had 6000 years of old gay marriage bickering practise #lmao #marcela talks

y’all I’ve been playing chapter 4 and- (spoilers IG)

Crowley gave MC a phone to contact him for emergencies and then just proceeded to turn his phone off??? While they’re basically being held against their will in Scarabia???

reason number infinity of why I’d make a shitty MC is id be putting magic toaster in bathtub way before this 😭😭😭

#Crowley hate gang #Another reason why I’d make a shitty mc is I would try to beat the shit out of him the second he got back from his “vital investigation” #Like MFER I haven’t seen my family in a month and you’re gonna take a vacation??? #If Dire Crowley had WhatsApp meme but it’s just mc and Crewel spamming Kay why ess #tw sui implied #tw sewerslide #tw s3lf harm #tw sui joke #twisted wonderland malleus #disney twst #disney twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland #twst scarabia #twst book 4 #Maybe I should do like a list on why I’d make a shitty mc #Reason number one I tried to go grocery shopping for myself once and I bought soda #crackers/spray cheese #Salt and vinegar chips and called it a day

[winepresswrath]

I do gotta say tho, even tho I’m mad at aziraphale because he’s being a terrible boyfriend like what you said about the “I forgive you like” because WHAT. But also I really like the way the show really demonstrates the underlying cruelty of heaven and it’s angels. Really shows the hypocrisy of a group of beings who are supposed to do good, especially aziraphale who really buys into the heaven propaganda, who hurts people, particularly the person who means the most to him. Because like you said he fully just takes advantage of that devotion Crowley has for him. Insane, this shwo makes me INSANE

I missed this anon and yeah! The angels were one of my favourite parts of the season, and I think the strongest element aside from Neil Gaiman deciding he's just a simple man who wants to put his otp in situations. They are deeply awful and I kind of love them. They are the exact kind of moralizing hypocrites who are callous and cruel precisely because they think being on team good means everything they do is justified and it's actually impossible for them to be in the wrong (they're angels! is it even possible for them to do the wrong thing?).

but!! To me, they also seem like they're basically kids? Obviously they're not literally children, but there is this very consistent reoccurring joke about how childish/sheltered/immature they are. Muriel is the most obvious example, but the archangels come off like bratty twelve year olds to her sweet little kid.

Gabriel is basically teenager in love flipping off his family as he runs away with his backstreet guy. Uriel is constantly picking at Michael, Michael is playing at being in charge like it's a game, and it's ridiculously easy for both Aziraphale and Crowely to trick them obvious half assed lies. They're not allowed to ask questions! The Metatron treats them like badly behaved kids out past their curfew. At any point an old man with a beard may pop up to scold them and send them home, and they're all scared of doing something wrong by his standards and getting in trouble with this guy who is pointedly not God but who lines up exactly with the pop-culture idea of god the father, and who offers Aziraphale, among other things, a respite from the hard work of figuring out what the right thing to do is for himself. It's fine! You don't have to question the belief system you were born into or make a painful break with everything you've ever known! Aziraphale has had six thousand years on earth to grow up, but the other angels have been sitting in a sterile white box playing "i'm not touching you" games with each other and filing paperwork.

And I think that's extra interesting because this season also really emphasizes:

Heaven has Institutional Problems

Aziraphale isn't the only angel who's unhappy in heaven. Gabriel and Muriel were both completely miserable. They just didn't understand that they were unhappy because they'd never experienced anything else.

Angels who aren't Aziraphale can change and grow! There's very explicitly Gabriel being changed by love and Muriel growing up a bit on earth, and from a more fan-theory angle there's also Jimbriel, who I think is probably basically Gabriel minus the war and six thousand years of playing referee for Michael and Uriel while unleashing an assortment of plague and calamities on earth because that's God's will! Buck up champ.

We also get Gabriel and Beezelebub talking about how their underlings basically live for Armageddon, "if you can call that living." This is so bleak. They've all been on a six thousand year time out just dreaming of the day they get to beat the shit out of each other until they feel better, but it won't work because eternity is just more of the box.

Anyway I think it's going in a distinctly eden adjacent direction. Aziraphale is going to tempt those angels with knowledge and the capacity for change. I have veered so far from your ask anon i'm sorry you're right heaven really went all out on sucking this season & while Crowley and Aziraphale are both fucking it up Crowley refrains from being spectacularly cruel to Aziraphale about it and Aziraphale should learn to return the favour. I forgive you!! I forGIVE you. I forgive YOU. "you can be an angel again" is actually a worse thing to say than "you're a demon. i don't even like you." when he finally picks crowley over heaven i'm going to lose my mind.

#good omens spoilers #good omens season two spoilers #idk it makes me sad that i didn't like the humans very much this season because i think ideally they're central to this whole how to be #a person question i also hope we get to see more of hell next season because i do think they're stuck in basically the same place #with a different aesthetic! and the stick being #thrown into a torture pit instead of thrown into hell #or like. mindwiped and locked in an office for all eternity #gabriel broke my heart which is embarrassing but when he goes from not even understanding what music is to experiencing #the simple pleasure of sharing a song with someone for the very first time and almost immediately hits repeat for eternity... baby. baby bo #i would also like more crowley! this was very much the season of aziraphale #which is fine but i missed him yelling questions at god and the bits where it seemed he really wanted aziraphale's opinion instead of just #wanting aziraphale to develop better opinions #next season had better be crowley wrestles with the universe i am telling you!!! #remember three months ago when i was like eh... another good omens season #i bet it'll be cute but i'm content with my book #i don't go here i said strapping on my clown shoes #seriously though i do think crowley is scared to admit to wanting to be good both because god rejected him and he doesn't want #to be a sucker for her (he is only interested in being a sucker for aziraphale) #and like. chase after something he's barred from and has already been told isn't for him. #and that's why it's so hard for him to admit even to himself that he too would be unhappy ditching earth #in ways that parallel aziraphale's unwillingness to let go of heaven as a source of moral authority and goodness #but the way aziraphale goes oh no! i cannot trust my own judgement and desires. They are suspect! #my judgement is that crowley is good and also funny and sexy. my desires are for his company and also his body #therefore the source of these desires is also maybe bad. i mean he's a demon. he's got to be bad #right??? but no. but i saw him do a good thing. but maybe i didn't? I should probably take a stance on this. #and he makes this crowley's problem until the apocalypse but then the second he gets the chance to cram crowley and his feelings for him #back in a heaven approved box he jumps at it in a way that requires just being WILDLY insensitive and dismissive of crowley's feelings #he's not just being a dick about their relationship he is being a dick about crowley as a person. and he should know better but is choosing #not to because he wants the easy out so badly. anyway i love him he was my favourite character all season no notes #good omens

Sorry if Muriels face is lopsided and weird, I've never drawn her before, but I'm dying to see her in S2 she looks so precious, 😫❤️. I had to draw this scene I randomly thought of while sketching zira and crow crow. I can completely see crowley and zira being checked on by muriel but, Maybe she just happens to walk in on a moment a conversation they were having.

#the convo was about books #it led to animals and then snakes #obviously crowley had to be involved #Aiziraphale was definitely just asking about the eyes #he was only looking at crowleys similarities to an actual snake #and wondering how he got through all the years with such beautiful- snakey eyes #art #fluff #good omens #good omens fanart #good omens season 2 #neil gaiman #crowley×aziraphale #crowley #aziraphale #i still love them very much #10/10 relationship #neil gaiman and terry were actually spot on with the character i love them so much it makes me go into a spasm when i seem them #david tennant as the actor was just chefs kiss #micheal sheen we gotta love him too #micheal sheen #david tennant

I can't possibly be mad at Aziraphale because

1. I love him,

2. This has always felt like a fanfic to me and while there are fix-it fanfics or 'Here's what I think happens' ones, there are also ones where we say 'This is an emotional turmoil we need to go through for the catharsis in our stifled lives' and this feels like that to me, like if we changed just one thing and made this character just a little more afraid, they would mess up and then they'd have to face a whole lot of things that are buried deep down and maybe digging up some dirt can help me discover something just like Aziraphale's gonna discover a whole hell of a lot, and maybe 'my' angel would never do this, but if he did....

and 3. He's been through 6,000 years of trauma and gaslit the WHOLE time and I simply don't know what that feels like, but I DO know the thoughts that go through my head when I'm as inconvenienced as someone having the bass of their music up too loud while I'm trying to sleep, hoo boy I am not a perfect person, so I'm aware of peoples' flaws and I think I should prooobably be a bit more forgiving of them XP

I think he is very entitled to one MAJOR fuckup. Six thousand years, I mean MAJOR. Annnnd the problem with that is that he has SO much more power than he realizes, so it iiiiis a big one.......

#it makes me SO SAD to think of people being angry at Aziraphale (I mean like permanently not like 'Oh you dumb bastard') #because I've done this story before and I KNOW the kind of apology and tears that he's heading towards I've SEEN IT I've IMAGINED IT #but frankly the Aziraphale in my head has never had to go through the kind of crap TV Aziraphale has. Heaven just leaves him alone #He's afraid it will do something to him and Crowley in the book but then Adam literally protects them eternally with magic! Not for TV ange #good omens spoilers #good omens

I am in considerations for watching good omen season 2. I liked season 1, it was fun. I know lots about s2 tumblr is noisy about it. People seem to really dislike Aziraphale, or sometimes he is just an object for Crowley joy, so maybe he is bad in s2. Maybe it is lots about all the wonderful things about Crowley and not about the nice things about Aziraphale. ANXIETY. Maybe I will reread the book instead. That will be much nicer I think. Way less anxiety.

#To consider: I love him. He is best. #To consider: doesn't seem like show ppl love him so much. Mostly ppl love Crowley #So maybe that means I had better read the book. #There's so much hostility over GO from all sides of all arguments. #For myself I will forever be grief about the lost opportunity of Aziraphale being played by a trans person #A big fat colourful queer trans actor. That'd have been so very nice. #But I do love Michael Sheen. He makes a lovely Aziraphale. #I would also pay really good money to see trans people write and direct for Aziraphale. All the trans people <3 I love so much #Doctor Who Redacted I love so so much I hope all the franchises I love get some stuff put into loving hands of queer lgbiia trans people

Good Omens struck me as a serious enough book at first but then you run into descriptions such as (paraphrasing here) “a flaming twisted metal lemon from hell” as a description of a car on fire, “a sound like that of a thousand glass harmonicas all being played off key” for a whine and “like in scifi movies when a massive space ship flies at light speed and all the stars stretch out but not like that at all” when describing a motorcycle flying

#good omens #neil gaiman #terry pratchett #this book is hilarious #not to mention that time it was explained that people’s impressions of Aziraphale are that he’s smart English and gay #then they had to specify that he’s not English and angels don’t have sexes unless they try so he’s not a man #BUT NEVER CORRECTED THE GAY THING #I know him and Crowley are together or whatever but it’s still funny #Neil is always like “they’re genderless and married #of course they are thank you Neil #love that for them #well he’s English but he’s not actually from England he’s from heaven but whatever

[p4nishers]

ok but the fact that "aziraphale is softening. they haven't spoken in a hundred years: he's realizing they're still friends" and "there's no need to thank me that's what...friends...are for" was in the same night is making me go INSANE

#we NEED to talk more abt the 1941 ep im so serious im not normal about it like i had such high expectations and it suppressed them all. #am i disappointed there wasn't a rejection scene like i predicted?? yes ofc but also aziraphale said he did the apology dance that year so #i wonder what else could've fucking happened #but anyway. let's focus on what DID happen: aziraphale literally GLOWING with love in the car. crowley telling him to shut up cause of a #compliment. aziraphale helping crowley out and crowley looking at him like 'you'd do that for me?'. crowley not only letting aziraphale #practice magic with him but ACTIVELY playing a character to help him and i mean that scene was literally just crowley flirting with him #crowley indulging aziraphale by going to the magic shop with him and agreeing to participate in his show despite the fact that he NEVER EVEN #SHOT A GUN BEFORE. him just leafing thru the guidebook till he realizes there's a miracle blocker than starting to frantically flip thru it #her hands SHAKING on the gun and them being so afraid of hurting az. 'no paperwork :))' sure my guy that's what u r so happy about ofc #'but do u really think it went well' 'absolutely' with such sincerity. the book description saying smth abt ifa demon were to happen across #aziraphale they should report it immediately to the demon crowley. 'you could've just walked away' 'well you said 'trust me'' 'and you did' #its just. its one of my favorite eps it's so nice #good omens #azicrow #good omens s2 #aziracrow #go s2 spoilers #go s2 #good omens script book #good omens s2 spoilers #aziraphale x crowley
