#Crowleys fall

[ineffablehusbandscentral]

Crowley sauntering vaguely downwards

[hyperfixating-rn-brb]

I think if it go3 we don't see either crowley or aziraphale fall... mmm.

Im not sure which would hurt more and I'm not sure if I actually want that pain.

but ohh it'd hurt so good

Idk if i am having a brain moment or if this was common sense, but considering the way God hasn't really spoken to anyone in quite a while and probably wasn't all that talkative even before the Fall and the beginning ofthe earth and humanity, made me realise that when Crowley implied that he never actually got to ask God his questions in the Job minisode, it may very well be that he actually neved got to God and was likely stopped by the Metatron before he could reach her

Or, similarly to Aziraphale in s1 when he tried contacting God w the summoning circle inside the bookshop, the metatron showed up instead bc God wasnt really talking to anyone

That being said, it makes me wonder if God was even the one making the call of letting so many of the angels fall (although, admittedly, that might be a wide reach)

I've been doing a lot of analysis on Good Omens recently so here's some things I've gathered from the scene in S1E5 where Crowley is talking to himself drunk in a bar after he believes Aziraphale had been killed. (This might not be new for everyone, this is also just my opinion and thoughts, I'm just having fun so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt lol) Before going into the quote and what each part means, I would like to specify that Neil Gaiman stated that Crowley isn't the most reliable narrator of his own fall. From this I am assuming that although most of what Crowley is saying aren't direct lies, but that he likely sugarcoated and holds back some information. Neil also stated that Crowley (before the fall) wasn't as innocent / good as he paints himself to be, and isn't nearly as evil as Heaven would like to imagine.

“I never asked to be a demon. I was just minding my own business one day and then, oh look here, it's Lucifer and the guys. Food hadn’t been that good lately, didn’t have anything on for the rest of the afternoon. Next thing I’m doing a million lightyear freestyle dive into a pool of boiling sulfur.”  

There are a few things that we can take out from this quote. 

“I never asked to be a demon.” This is the second time Crowley specified his intent with falling. He never wanted this, he never meant for this to happen. Although he doesn’t directly say that he feels it's undeserved, it is clear that he in some ways regrets his actions and that the intent of falling wasn’t there. 

“I was just minding my own business one day.” Here's what I believe is very clear sugarcoating on his behalf. He paints himself as innocent and unknowing of what would happen. Although it may be true to some extent that he didn’t realise it would lead to him and others falling. It would be wrong to assume that it wasn't also his own doing which caused him to join Lucifer and to join the rebellion and further, participate in the great war. 

“Look here, it’s Lucifer and the guys.” These are the people he blames for falling, the “wrong people” he hung around with so to say. (There was a theory at some point that Crowley was Lucifer and he was talking about himself in the third person but this has been debunked by Neil Gaiman who said that Lucifer turned into Satan.) In this way he is also somewhat sugarcoating (imo) because he makes it seem as if others dragged him into the rebellion and the war, while yes there may have been peer pressure and outside influences, Crowley is someone who makes his own decisions and doesn't just go along with something he doesn't agree with.

“Food hadn’t been that good lately, didn’t have anything on for the rest of the afternoon.” Another instance of Crowley sugarcoating what had happened, I personally find it hard to believe that just one random afternoon a large group of angels just on a whim decided to rebel and start a war, as well as that I find it hard to believe Crowley joined the rebellion and war because “the food hadn’t been that good lately”. There was definitely a more serious and substantial reason for the rebellion and why Crowley joined. His language here also plays it off as no big deal, while clearly, it is a big deal, he just has a hard time confronting that reality.

“Next thing I’m doing a million light year freestyle dive into a pool of boiling sulfur.” This line is very different from the others, as his tone also shifts slightly, you can clearly feel the hurt and pain of this memory. From this we also learn that when an Angel turns into a Demon, they fall into boiling sulfur. But clearly to Crowley, this is a very painful and traumatic memory, I just wanna give him a hug.

Aziraphale fell first

Crowley fell harder

[theseus8349]

Crowley would definitely struggle against the fall the fees few millenia and just give up at some point (I think it was said their fall was around a million light years long)

How is the only thing I actually put effort into Crowleys hand🧍‍♂️

[unpaintedcrownails]

SO WHAT IF CROWLEY SAID IN S1 THAT OR ACTUALLY THE BOOK HE SAID THAT HE DIDNT LIKE TURNING INTO A SNAKE BC HE WAS AFRAID HE'D FORGET HOW TO TURN BACK WHAT IF WHEN HE FELL HE WAS TURNED ONTO A SNAKE AND FREAKING OUT HE DIDNT KNOW HOW TO TURN INTO A HUMAN LOOKING CORPORATION

[chaoticamelay]

Does Crowley have a high pain tolerance bc he's got red hair, or because he compares every injury to his Fall and the pain never seems that bad in comparis- *I am killed instantly*

[matxhstixkers]

MATH DOODLE BE OPON YE

crowleys fall :)

[dovessoiscanon]

Are you there God? It’s me, Crowley…

the moment Crowley falls and his eyes change :)

[killrisma]

The Fall wasn’t gradual, it didn’t start out as a light tickle and turn into a burn; It was immediate, it was complete and total from the very moment that it happened. That didn’t mean that it was over in an instant, however.

No, Falling wasn’t quick. It wasn’t slow either. There were no words to describe the way that time distorted as one Fell, just as there were no words to describe the agony one feels as their very being is torn to shreds and pasted back together with Hellfire as the glue.

Falling was, well,

Ineffable.

[galaxgay]

Everyone talks about Crowley's fall being painful and angsty and all that stuff. Boiling lake of sulfur, sure. Being tossed out by your own mother, absolutely- sucks. Absolutely sucks.

However i wonder if he crawled out of that lake and felt... relief.

The sore kind that makes you laugh dryly while saying "well, i guess this is it now" but relief nonetheless.

[doerrferr]

yeah i still can’t do full on pieces on procreate or hold my apple pencil properly but weewoo i present thee my janky version of crowley’s fall

[wadeofbublegum]

[annoyinglyobsessive]

What if shooting stars happen because the stars are falling out of the sky cause they want to be near Crowley?
