I think Crowley would make a great toolbelt-lesbian

The funniest thing you can do in a story is have a singular real country in a fantasy setting

The Kingdom of Astrolonia

The Faradin Empire

Guatemala

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

"A while ago, the headmage warned me not to keep too many gargoyles because the floors might cave in... But in my opinion, the actual problem here is the durability of the floors. I hardly think I deserve to be reproached."

"There were a lot of gargoyles around the campus that needed repairing. It was a lot of work to carry each of those back to my (club?)room to do repair work on them but... He told me he didn't even ask me to do that. What a rude man."

????????? 😭😭😭 Even with such a bratty nonsense attitude he's so cute?! And isn't their interaction kinda like a dad telling off his son?!

[supernatural-bias]

it's twenty twenty four if you've seen supernatural and don't think crowley is one of the characters of all time i'm done arguing my case i'm straight up defenestrating you

[starboymp3]

anyways. thinking about the bentley doing literally anything aziraphale tells it.... not speeding, turning yellow, giving him sweets, playing whatever he wants..... you know that quote from howl's moving castle, “calcifer, you're being so obedient”..........

Yuu: ...

Grim: ...

Rollo: ...

Fellow & Gidel, smiling as they sit in the lounge chair:

Yuu: Crowley.

Crowley: Hmm?

Yuu: What the fuck.

Crowley: You're doing such a great job with Mr. Flamme that I thought you should rehabilitate Mr. Honest and his brother.

Yuu: You gonna pay to rehabilitate them?

Crowley: My my, look at the time. I must be going, bye Prefect! *Leaves and slams the door shut*

Yuu: Everyday I get closer...

Rollo: What are we going to do with him? He's too old for any of the courses, except for his brother.

Grim: Can't he just do what Leona does?

Yuu: Leona is 20, this man is 26.

Fellow: I do know my way around math, Beastmaster Homura.

Yuu: ...can you work out a budget?

Fellow, tail is wagging: Watch me~

i think there's something to be said for how in almost every piece of queer media you'll have a scene where character A asks character B to run away with them. i'm talking alpha century, i'm talking sailing to fucking china, i'm talking jonathan sims considering gouging out his eyes with martin blackwood and just walking away, i'm talking peter nureyev and juno steel in season 1, i'm TALKING about LAN WANGJI and "come back to Cloud Recesses with me".

there's just something so inherently bittersweet about the idea of running away with your loved one that's deeply ingrained in the queer experience and i think that's lovely.

And there's also something to be said for the fact the answer is almost always "no"

Ngl I’m really hoping that someone comes along with a more action-oriented cartoon in the future. I obviously enjoy the current ones we have that are a mix between comedy with a few moments of action here and there, but I really want one that really drives home the fight choreography for more than a few minutes per episode. Obviously you can have character growth and humor in there too, however I really miss that sort of style of cartoon

I absolutely cannot stop thinking about the version of Crowley we get to see from before the Fall. He smiles differently, he speaks differently. There's so much oppenness in his expression. He loves what he does! Is genuinly mournful when he learns it will be destroyed.

Compared to the Crowley we see after years of solitude, abuse and treading on eggshells around his bosses. Closed off, furious, suspicious. I do truly believe that after he was called back to Hell in the graveyard that the next time Aziraphale saw him was in 1862, when he asked, in that feeble, broken down voice, for Holy Water. He has spent so much of his existence in survival mode, is desperate to cling to the peace he's found.

Nina describes him as the "hard bitten one" who can't trust anyone ever again, and it sort of gobsmacked me that she could see that!!! that Neil Gaiman would have someone say that!!!!! But, of course, she is in many ways the same.

Whatever happened to Crowley after the Laudanum incident certainly wasn't a one-off. He was certainly punished again and again for deeds seen as too good. Enough so that when he is called kind, when he is called good, when he is thanked, his response is violent panic.

It's easy for us to believe that maybe he's always been like that. But no. Gaiman gave us incontestable proof that there was a time where Crowley smiled freely, where he looked with wide and joyful eyes at the parts of the world he created. The difference from that, to the numb and deeply lonely Crowley that we see with Job, the anxious, repressed and angry Crowley that we see in the present day, is one of the biggest tragedies of all.

i'm going insane over the few years in-between seasons we did not get to see, especially crowley and his glasses.

they have a PLACE. he puts them there as soon as he enters, he feels so comfortable in the bookshop by now he doesn't even need to get drunk first or wait a while. just. immediately takes them off. bares his soul to aziraphale. let's him see.

how did we get here??? how many hours did he spend with aziraphale, just growing more and more relaxed around him, trusting him. trusting that he won't abuse his vulnerability, hell, at that point aziraphale probably cherishes it. yellow IS his favorite colour, after all. crowley's yellow, to be precise.

and the statue he places them on - was that aziraphale asking him to put them somewhere safe after crowley accidentally sat on them or dropped them? maybe it started out as a careless 'i'm just throwing them there i dont give a fuck' and then just. happened again. and again. until suddenly it was *his* spot.

aziraphale has gotten so used to seeing his eyes it will kill him when crowley stops taking his glasses off around him, seeing only his own reflection instead mutual affection.

do you think he will forget the exact colour of his eyes in heaven? do you think he will try to remember the shade and be unsure if it's correct, trying to find the right memories but never being confident that this one is right?

six thousand years and suddenly all he wants is to be able to look into crowley's eyes again.

🐉🍼 is drawing a family tree. He's drawn himself, mama, papa, Grim, his uncles, and...

🐉🍼: "Papa, is grandma Maleficia grandpa Lilia's wife?"

🐉, choking on his coffee: "What? Why would you think that?"

🐉🍼: "Because they're my grandpa and grandma?"

🐉: "Grandmother Maleficia is actually your 'great' grandmother. She is the mother of your direct grandmother, Meleanor."

🐉🍼: "Then grandma Meleanor is grandpa Lilia's wife?"

🐉: "No, your birth grandfather is actually--"

Suddenly, he remembers a particular buffoon of a bird and his mouth presses into a thin line.

🐉: "Actually, yes. Sure. Lilia and mother are married. Why not?"

🐉🍼: "Okay. I will draw grandpa Lilia and grandma Meleanor holding hands."

Somewhere in an island across the ocean...

🐦‍⬛: "Why do I suddenly feel an indescribable sadness..?"

🐦‍⬛: "Oh well, it's probably because lunch time is still an hour away."
