#Crowley good omens questions

[darlingsomeone]

Hear me out Crowley didn’t mean to fall what if he didn’t?

He sauntered vaguely downward. He descended into Hell. And then came back to earth.

So he rose up from Hell.

Any of this sound familiar yet guys?

He doesn’t do most bad things, he lets humans do them

*cough cough free will*

We dont know how time is recorded in Hell so he could of been down there 3 days

He doesn’t look like other demons

He doesn’t want to believe he is good but he keeps doing good things.

If there is such a thing as an AntiChrist couldn’t there be an AntiAntiChrist?

He’s anti-suicide, he orders people to be Properly good, the minisodes are full of him denying he’s good but the worst he does is petty badness, well, mostly.

Maybe I forgot but didn’t Christ say he wasn’t perfect?

Wasn’t at least some Christian stuff about forgiving sins and hanging out with society’s rejected and despised too

So this book was written as a parody originally

It makes a weird kind of sense that Crowley went from Angel to reluctant Demon who didn’t fit in

And ended up hanging out with the imperfect humans who looked like one

he went native like Christ had to to walk on earth.

He loves kids (both kinds) which is like suffer the little children to come unto me or words like that

He performs good miracles even before he makes a deal with Aziraphale to do angelic ones

Also, he can perform resurrections

He can heal

He is compassionate instead of just following orders

He understands sinners and blurred edges, he spent time with Jesus just so he could see some of the world which actually fits some theological ideas about what Jesus did during the time not accounted for in his life. They think he travelled the world.

A demon hanging out with a savior just to be nice to him huh?

HE ASKS QUESTIONS

One of them he asks a lot by his actions and sometimes his words

Why did God forsake him?

i was thinking about that post comparing Jessica Rabbit as an asexual to Barbie and an asexual and then i thought of the Neil Gaiman post (was it a post?) about Crowley and Aziraphale being asexual sexless and then this happened.

anyways. thoughts?

sorry it took so long I meant to do this a week ago but my brain is full of rocks.

[Image ID a three sided venn diagram. the big circles show Margot Robbie's Barbie sitting in front of a mirror, Jessica and Roger Rabbit from the poster of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens standing back to back. Between Barbie and Jessica Rabbit it says "sexualised by society". Between Jessica Rabbit and Aziraphale and Crowley it says "Knows what sex is". Between Aziraphale and Crowley and Barbie it says "no reproductive system(?)". the center is the asexual flag. End ID]

Also i haven't seen the Barbie movie as of this edit so at least please tag your spoilers.

crowley used the metal tool in season 1 to start time, and we learn that he's used it first to start space. to create the stars -- he still remembers how. he still remembers all of heaven's passwords: in the book crowley is described as an optimist because he has the "utter surety... that the universe would look after him". not god, but the universe. and of course he does: he helped create it and he's looking after it, too.

think about it: aziraphale had a sword, but crowley is about to face satan who wants to destroy the world, and crowley's only weapon is a tool of creation

[ineffablelunatics]

Aziraphale pulls down when doing a miracle, because he’s pulling down from Heaven

Post-Fall Crowley pulls up then snaps. Showing that he is pulling power from Hell

Pre-Fall Crowley does both. He pulls down and slightly up then pushes forward because there isn’t an Earth yet. He would be pulling power from anywhere and everywhere. There would only be the divine.

When they perform the Jim miracle together, they both slowly pull respectively from their “own” sides

[fuckyeahgoodomens]

Aziraphale [about Job being talked to by God]: I don't suppose he's getting any answers.

Crowley: No. But just to be able to ask the question.

Updated! A few days ago the contract Crowley signs in S1 came up on discord. Being the crazy person that I am, I set on the quest of finding out what it actually says. I couldn't make out everything, especially at the end where Crowley's hand and the sparks obscure the lines but I made out most of it (transcript below the break).

One of the things I like the most is that the contract specifically says "Anthony Crowley of Mayfair, London." In the book, Hastur tells Crowley not to use that name: "No. Not A. J. Crowley. Your real name.” Crowley nodded mournfully, and drew a complex, wiggly sigil on the paper. It glowed redly in the gloom, just for a moment, and then faded."

Interesting things:

The contract is referred to as "the Agreement" - HA!

The contract is between Hastur and Ligur ("the Customer") and Crowley ("the Service Provider"). Not with Hell itself or with Satan.

The contract never actually says what "the Service" is nor does it say how much Crowley is supposed to be paid (so is it just delivering the baby to the convent, or all the upbringing too?)

There is a part that says Hastur and Ligur will pay the costs when the operation is done. But later on it also says that Crowley will not be reimbursed for his own expenses. Talk about being shortchanged!

Hastur and Ligur will NOT provide any help

Crowley must contribute to a retirement plan (Superannuation) for himself and his employees if he has any (how thoughtful)

And lastly, I learned the UK has Superannuations and it is not just an Australian thing! (go figure! the things GO teaches me)

So here you have it. A contract from Hell! literally If anyone can make out the words I couldn't or finds an error, please let me know and I'll update this one.

Following in @lemmiart ‘s footsteps, I drew the thing in my book 🥺 My friend said this was blasphemous but I plan on dying with this book in my arms, and it makes me happy so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[dorywhynot]

Thinking about this little thing I drew in 2020 and gently gathering this fandom into my arms.
