Sadly, there's not enough room in the poll for the iconic Heaven disguise, but it's always worth sharing

Crowley hair studies: all in one

Phew! I dare say I spent as much time editing these collages with the reference pics as I did on the original sketches, haha. You can browse the relevant tag, but also here’s an index of all the parts in chronological order:

Before the beginning

4004 BC (Garden of Eden)

3004 BC (Mesopotamia)

2500 BC (Land of Uz)

33 AD (Golgotha)

41 AD (Rome)

1601 (London — Globe Theatre)

1793 (Paris)

1827 (Edinburgh)

1862 (London — Holy Water request)

1941 (London — the Blitz)

1967 (London — Holy Water heist)

1970s (Disco Tony)

2007 (delivering the Antichrist)

2012 (Nanny Ashtoreth)

2012 (man bun)

2018 (main S1 storyline)

2023 (main S2 storyline)

2023 (undercover in Heaven)

I had an absolute blast working on these, and I learned so much about so many things!!

Crowley

I love how Crowley keeps reinventing him/herself.

Even between S1 and S2, there are a lot of differences in mannerisms. Aside from the “In the Beginning“ part, Crowley is a lot more somber and protective of Aziraphale.

If you compare S2 to S1, you see a lot less of the happiness/goofiness that he’d previously displayed.

Crowley’s demeanor in S2 reminds me a lot of the holy water scene. In this scene, Crowley was afraid of something. He asked Aziraphale to help him, as a means of insurance.

So what’s going on? And why is this about the happiest we see Crowley (aside from his attempt to make Nina and Maggie vavoom)?

There are several causes, but I think the main ones are:

- We never saw Crowley deal with the trauma of believing that his friend had been killed. Sure, he was drinking (and probably the most vulnerable) afterwards, but that pain didn’t go away just because Aziraphale was fine. He still feels it, and is determined it will never happen again.

- At the end of S1, Aziraphale believed that they had averted “the big one.” Crowley knows better. He’s waiting for the heaven and hell vs humanity battle that he mentioned after they swapped faces back. It keeps him from filly enjoying things, and makes him watchful.

- Even though heaven and hell were leaving them alone, Crowley didn’t trust either. He lived in his car, not telling Aziraphale. If they cohabitated, it could definitely put Aziraphale in danger. Again, they are still indirectly causing the ineffable couple to not fully be themselves. When Jimbriel showed up at Aziraphale’s door, it brought them unwanted attention. There was no way that was going to end well.

So what will Crowley be like in S3? Will we see a more somber version, or perhaps a “screw it all” over the top goofball? Or something completely different, like a vengeful Crowley?

What I’m hoping we get at the end is a very happy Crowley with his very happy angel, both free of the awfulness that has prevented them from being themselves… as individuals and as the group of the two of them.

Thought for the day

I love Edinburgh Crowley so much. David really lets his freak flag fly all over this one. He pulls out *all* the accents ( I was never sure if NG was trolling him or not). The huge grins, almost winking at the audience everytime he has a clever line. And this one in particular kills me.

There are at least 100 different versions, too. Proper ones and posh ones, Edinburgh vs Glaswegian, Orkney vs Highlander, and on and on. Sgt Shadwell's. Some of them are unintelligible to anyone outside the clan. Many contain vocabularies of their very own.

"An' prithee which'un o'deh Scottish accen's deeya wan'a'muh tae doo, laddie?" Is how I'm sure David answered that question.

[laudaddysmitten]

Don't ask me why, because I don't know...but I made a transcript:

"Look at you, you're gorgeous"

**Stupidly besotted grin**

"You can't kill kids"

"Aren't I just." **wink**

**smolder of quiet righteous anger**

"Give me a jug of whatever you think's drinkable"

"Meeeh...possibly..."

"Why would you insinuate..."

"What's for lunch?"

"People'd pay good money for a nice set of gnashers" **grin**

"Do ducks have ears? Must do."

"Right...."

**Turn around in "60's-sexy" **

"Can I hear a wahoo?"

"It's not that bad once you get used to it."

🎶"When earth's destroyed." 🎶

"Uhhh... not yet, but there's more to evil than just killing people."

"Your friends got together and saved the world. Well done, have a gold star."

"I meet a lot of people."

Reposting because I somehow forgot Edinburgh (I'll never forgive myself)

I really wanted to get all of them in one poll, but the delicious demon does love to switch things up. I'll probably do one for the 20th and 21st century looks, too, because yummm

[brainwormcity]

I've seen people remark on how awkward the 1967 scene is and that is so frustrating because, for me, it is one of the most emotionally resonant flashbacks in the entire series. It is so multifaceted and ripe with implication and that assertion is baffling. As though just because this conversation appears to be hard for them, it must mean that there has to be some sense of weirdness or awkwardness between them?

This scene feeds heavily into my theory that 1941 ended in some sort of aborted romantic moment between the two, most likely initiated by Crowley. Aziraphale can barely stand to look at Crowley because the very first moment he looks him in the face, he can't stop himself from giving him this hooded eyes, barely contained look of longing.

The next thing we see is Aziraphale immediately launching into a statement about his fear for Crowley's existence that is as brutally sincere as it is heartrending. His eyes are wide, his voice is heavy with emotion, and it's clear that he is terrified beyond belief to lose Crowley. Even as he acquiesces and gives him the holy water, you can see that he wants to take it back and deny him it all over again.

Then, of course, Crowley asks if he can give him a lift, which is definitely something that they both know is a totally different question than what lies on the surface, given that they're mere feet from the bookshop and at first Crowley frowns so deeply that it's almost cartoonish but a moment after Aziraphale turns him down you get this glimpse of very real sadness:

Aziraphale sees it for what it is and in an attempt to comfort him, without being able to do what currently seems impossible to him, shares a fanciful but resigned fantasy about spending time together unbothered and unrestrained, all to the tune of these tight little, loving smiles:

When he asks again, you can just see Crowley's desperation for Aziraphale not to go. It's hard to say how long they'd been apart, but it's safe to say that for them, that previous interaction likely is very fresh in their minds.

Aziraphale has always been more fearful than Crowley when it comes to their feelings for each other. You could even potentially look at the holy water as a metaphor for their relationship. In his expressions of concern about The Arrangement, Aziraphale has always been remarking on how Crowley could be destroyed, similarly to his words here. So when he's telling him, "You go too fast for me, Crowley," what he's really saying is, "I'm terribly afraid and I'm not ready to take that step if it means that I could lose you." And it's plain to see by the wistful look on his face that it pains him greatly to say it:

The scene so quickly cuts to Crowley looking intensely at the holy water after Aziraphale has left the car (as if trying to convince you that that was the real point of the scene) that it's easy to miss this devastated expression on Crowley's face:

There's no look of perceived rejection on his face. Just a somber look of resignation. There are so many barriers in front of them, and I think that Crowley was willing to risk it but understood that Aziraphale wasn't ready to.

This is the most honest and laid bare we ever see these two be when it comes to their emotions. There's so much being said without being said and even their actual words (i.e. Crowley remembering exactly the amount of time when the 'fraternizing' conversation happened) are so full of emotion that it might even be a bit hard for some people to watch.

It's not awkward. It's just that the scene is just so incredibly earnest and heavy with coded language that it's easy to be swept up by the fact that the two aren't engaged in their typical banter and bickering. What we truly have here is an incredibly difficult and loving conversation between two people who are stuck in a seemingly impossible situation.

I DREAMT THIS (and I HAD TO draw it and share it with the world😭✨)! Get ready to C-R-Y!

• Sleep Dearie Sleep, 1916 •

I'm ✨SO PROUD✨ of this one!😭🩷

Attention: ANGST!

World War I.

Anthony J. Crowley leaves to fight in France. After a year, he is wounded and ends up in the infirmary. There he meets the field doctor Aziraphale Fell, who heals his wounds and somehow manages to warm his heart. He falls in love with him, but he's unable to tell him anything. So, every night in the trenches - when it rains water, fire or mud - he writes letters. Letters and letters that will never arrive.

The war becomes more and more violent, as do his feelings. He steals Aziraphale's fountain pen, then his photograph from the infirmary tent. He puts it in his wallet, to keep it close to his heart.

Each day he advances on the battlefield, he vows to deliver those letters to Aziraphale's caring and gentle hands, but each time he returns, he fails to keep his oath.

One day, the last time he sees the sun touch the ground, he loses his life. In his last moments, the only thing he cares about is not letting blood stain Aziraphale's photograph.

The last thing he sees, just before drifting off to eternal sleep, is Aziraphale's smile.

Two days later, a corporal reaches the medical tent and hands Aziraphale Crowley's last item.

Crowley always thought his love was unrequited, but Aziraphale fell in love with him too, a year earlier, the first time he saw Crowley, playing with a stray kitten and a tender smile.

🩷

That's what happens when I rewatch 1917, War Horse and All Quiet on the Western Front all in one day.

(I had this dream, it was so vivid, I HAD TO put into an artwork. I have no regrets✨)

Bonus: ✨details✨

1. Crowley stole Aziraphale's fountain pen (it has his surname engraved) to write him letters.

2. He keep those letters into his wallet, close to his heart.

3.He also stole Aziraphale's photograph (it's the last thing he saw).

4. Once it's returned to him (together with the letters) Aziraphale sees behind his photo, Crowley's last promise. The one he couldn't keep.

5. Crowley always thought his love was one-sided.

6. But Aziraphale actually fell for him first, after seeing him playing with a cat, a long time before.

HERE THE FULL LETTER💌✨:

Nov 2, 1916

My dear Angel,

As I sit here in the cold embrace of this ditch, the distant echoes of battle remind me of how fleeting moments are. Each day feels like a cruel gift, and yet your sight warms me against the chill. I find solace in thoughts of your gentle hards, the way they skillfully mend wounds while my heart aches for a different kind of healing.

You may never know the depth of my devotion admiration, how your laughter dances through my mind like sunlight breaking through storm clouds.

In this world torn apart by war, you are a fragile thread connecting me to something beautiful.

Should fate be unkind and silence fall upon me, remember that affect friendshi love can bloom even in the darkest fields.

If I do not return today, carry with you the knowledge that you were my light amidst shadows, a truth I cherished silently but deeply.

Yours always,

Anthony
