The Good Place and Crowley

A while ago, someone sent an ask to Gaiman. It went as follows, “In the book, ‘Golden Girls’ was Crowley’s favorite TV show. Is that slo TV Crowley’s favorite or does he have a current TV show that he prefers?” He answered, “I think he’d love the ‘The Good Place.’”

The Good Place is one of my favorite shows. I completely understand why Crowley would like it. It has some of the best debates of the philosophy and ethics of modern day society including the afterlife. It argues that people should not be defined as good and bad. It shows that people can improve. It tells us why and how they improve.

There’s two things about Crowley that really connect him to these thoughts. 1. Crowley does not like to be defined as good(or nice). Though we haven’t really seen that include bad, I would assume that it would be the similar thought. It also might have something to do with Aziraphale saying those things specifically, but that’s another post. 2. That people are not defined by what happened to them, and that means that anyone can improve.

Crowley fell from Heaven. He fell from grace which made him demon which means that for all intents and purposes, he should be evil. But he isn’t. Crowley doesn’t ever really commit truly evil acts. Any truly evil act that Hell thinks Crowley committed, humans committed. Crowley just took the credit. Crowley likes the thought that people can change. In Hell, he sees tons of people who are awful, but he also sees people who just made some mistakes. He sees demons who are like him who don’t find joy in treating people terribly. He’s seen angels causing harm happily, but others giving away joy like lollipops.

Those two things are fundamental in the show, The Good Place. I would argue Good Omens as well. If Adam had always been treated like he was evil, he probably would have never had friends who he genuinely cared about so much so that their fear pulled him out of his power drunken state. If Aziraphale had assumed the snake was evil(if he even saw him lol), then smited him, where would Crowley and humanity be? The demon with the imagination burned to ash and humanity living with almost decision-less whilst tucked neatly within Eden’s walls. If people couldn’t improve then Shadwell would have never been able to put aside his fears and foolishness so that he could love Madame Tracy and show it. Gabriel and Beelzebub would still be planning Armageddon 2.0 if they hadn’t moved on and fell in love instead.

The Good Place reminds us of the things time and time again. Each of the four main characters get reset, and every time, in the right circumstances, they always become better people. They are also never really defined as good and bad either. At times, others try to define Eleanor as a bad person, but every time, she reminds them that, yes, maybe, she shouldn’t be in the Good Place, but at the very least, she should be in her very own Middle Place. Every time, Chidi teaches her how to become a better person(which only works, because she wants to be one) and in the process, he becomes one too. Just like Gabriel and Beelzebub.

This was way longer than I expected it to be, but here are some quotes from The Good Place and where I think they would fit into Good Omens whether that be place and time or people and relationships.

“Sometimes, when you’re feeling helpless, the secret is to help someone else. Get out of your own head. Trust me. The next time someone asks for help, say yes.” This feels like the whole of S2, specially Aziraphale with Jim and then Maggie

“If you have bills to pay and shit to deal with you don;t have time or energy to become a better person.”  The Resurrectionists in 1827 with Elspeth and Wee Morag

“If there were an answer I could give you to how the universe works, it wouldn’t;t be special. It would just be machinery fulfilling its cosmic design. It would just be a big, dumb food processor. But since nothing seems to make sense, when find something or someone that does, it’s euphoria.” All the couples in GO, but that quote right there seems to be how Crowley and Aziraphale has been holding on for so long

“I guess all I can do is embrace the pandemonium find happiness in the unique insanity of being here, now.” Nina specially during The Ball

“People improve when they get external love and support. How can we hold it against them when they don’t?” Beelzebub and Gabriel

“We have no plan. No one’s coming to save us. So... I’m going to do it.” Aziraphale(specifically him at the end of S2 in my opinion)but also just everybody in S1 with Anathema, Agnus, the Them, Aziraphale and Crowley, just all trying their best

“If soulmates do exist, they’re not found. They’re made. People meet. They get a good feeling, and they get to work building a relationship.” All the couples, but especially Aziraphale and Crowley with the Agreement, they were working on their relationship before they knew they were even working on their relationship

“What matters isn’t if people are good or bad. What matters is if people are trying to be better today than they were yesterday. You asked me where my hope comes from? That’s my answer.” Crowley, because deep down, at the end of the line, we know that he’s an optimist

*reminder that all of this is my opinion, if there’s anymore quotes you would like to add, please do, some of the information might be incorrect

Two households, both alike in dignity (derogatory)

#the good place #Romeo and Juliet #Shakespeare #eleanor shellstrop #Jason Mendoza #i love them both so much #maybe I should go watch this for the sixth time instead of all the new stuff I need to catch up on

[songsandsnakes]

This is more of a question than anything else, but you know the good place S3 (spoilers), wouldn't they still get food place points for doing the good things, because their motivations are pure?

Think about it, they have accepted the fact that they aren't going to get into the good place, and so are trying to save their family and friends out of the goodness in their hearts.

Their motivations, therefore, couldn't have been corrupt, as there was no real reason for them to be good, their promise of moral dessert had been taken away.

#the good place #eleanor shellstrop #chidi anagonye #jason mendoza #tahani al jamil #does this make sense #like seriously #Bc I have no idea if they way I wrote it down is understandable #I just love the good place #This question has plagued me for ages

ART HAS BEEN MADE

[ID: traditional fan art of NBC’s The good place. In the center of the image is a blue couch seen in several posters for the show, painted with guash. At the center of the couch are the words “whenever you’re ready” that come from the title of the series finale. surrounding the couch is a gradient of yellow, orange, red, and green; colored with oil pastels. At the bottom of the gradient, on a white paper background, (from left to right) is a paper clip, a piece of shrimp, a book with the title “what we owe to each other”, a diamond, a Molotov cocktail, and a cactus in a pot. /end ID]

Why did Scott throw Hailey's mattress across the room?! The safe was under the frame he didn’t have to do her like this 😭

#hailey's on it #hoi #i love scott so much #he is so dumb 😭 #he is literally HOI's own Jason Mendoza

[laniidae-passerine]

also loving that Jason does not question that Luang could be his soulmate until he realises there will be no discussion of Blake Bortles. my soulmate can absolutely be a man but there’s no heaven where he isn’t a huge Jacksonville Jaguars fan too

#Jason is very casually and quietly bisexual to the point I frankly think he may not grasp the concept #everyone loves all genders duh. it’s like loving all flavours of white claw. of course it’s that way #very him. what a fella #jason mendoza #tgp #the good place

Nooooooo!!! I hate finishing tv shows ugh. I suck at watching stuff, but when I find one I can actually watch it's amazing, but I feel so empty when I'm done. I FINISHED THE GOOD PLACE. MAN, IS THIS WHAT I'VE BEEN MISSING? UGHHH. NO WAY😭😭😭😭😭 I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY, BRO. But for now I will cry listen to sad music scrolling social media for any good place fan media until I fall asleep or get bored.

I have one more thing to say though...

Stay Sleazy ❤️
