#specially about Crowley and Aziraphale

[genderfluidcrowley]

Obsessed with “the right person, but too late”.

It’s not even the wrong time, it’s just that they quietly walked alongside each other for all that right time, and when the confessions finally were made, they were too late.

I love when people use final 15 quotes in a fics during very much not final 15 type moments it makes me so incredibly insane

[ineffectualbookseller]

The visual mirroring between these two moments is just so good.

The differnce between Crowley's genuine attempt to disuade Aziraphle thinking that he is doing good (soon he'll take off his glasses and show his eyes, the mark of his demonic nature, to Aziraphale as a threat - a reminder of what he is) and his warning reminder to Aziraphale that hell can't think this was a decision he made in his right mind (moving in close and tilting his head to look at Aziraphale over the top of his glasses, not as a threat but to remove a layer between them and show his seriousness unobstructed)

The differnce between the resolve in the set of Aziraphales jaw as he stares into the face of his supposed enemy (his belief in Crowley's goodness is so defiant, something we know Aziraphale needs to muster a lot of courage to bring about in himself) and his fond smile as his friend gives him the same admonishment he has hundreds - thousands? - of times before (he can count on Crowley's goodness as a given, the ease and softness he feels with Crowley is so natural to his character)

Just. So. Good.

Noticed a pattern of Crowley reaching out to Aziraphale and Aziraphale rejecting him and now I'm sad

Bonus (Spoilers for Season 2!)

In the face of all that, Crowley is so brave for this

I made myself a little Good Omens poster!! It’s reversible!! I love it so so much!! No, it’s not perfect but what is? The ineffable husbands have absolutely cONSUMED my life recently and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The ending of season 2 ripped my heart and soul apart, but that’s what we have delusion and hope for. Anyway I’m very happy with the vibes of this artwork. Impeccable story, I’m currently reading the book to cope. I am in love.

[edscuntyeyeshadow]

honestly i think ofmd and good omens have the most lovable main characters I’ve seen in any tv show ever. stede, ed, crowley, and aziraphale are all so easy to love and to relate to, their flaws and struggles feel so authentic and raw. and of course a big part part of that is the fact that david, michael, taika and rhys are all such talented actors with so much range. it’s genuinely impossible for me to hate any of these beautiful characters, it’s crazy.

[cryptic-queer-cryptid]

drew The Kiss and then had to comfort myself by drawing their hands during the ball scene and the nightingale 🫶

[ingravinoveritas]

Michael ‘liked’ the first tweet today, and last year he posted a selfie in front of that very bandstand right after filming GO 2 ended and I’m going to go cry now...

[winepresswrath]

I cannot be the only book Warlock enjoyer out there. I know he's a very small part of the story, but even without the Adam's first friends addition you've got:

"I just don't see why everyone and everything has to be burned up and everything," Adam said... even if you win, you can't really beat the other side, because you don't really want to. I mean, not for good. You'll just start all over again. You'll just keep on sending people like these two," he pointed to Crowley and Aziraphale, "to mess people around. It's hard enough bein' people as it is, without other people coming and messin' you around."

and

Crowley grabbed Aziraphale's arm. "You know what happened?" he hissed excitedly. "He was left alone! He grew up human! He's not Evil Incarnate or Good Incarnate, he's just… a human incarnate—"

Warlock is the most messed around person -possibly ever, definitely in modern history- and it was him being messed around that left Adam in peace to grow up a human incarnate and save the world. He's a cosmological whipping boy. If he sucks he sucks specifically because Crowley and Aziraphale are bad at educating children and that's very funny to me. They did that! Obviously in the show it's more intense/interesting because they did that in person, it's borderline deliberate baby acquisition, and then after they spend years looking after him they contemplate murdering him, but even in the book he's the recipient of their dubious godfathering efforts and even though he's stubbornly a normalish stem kid that probably left a mark. this kid was given every opportunity to be the most ridiculously specific flavour of catholicore goth and rejected it all in favour of being one of maybe three people living in england who cares about baseball. Aziraphale and Crowley took a human child and taught him to enjoy artificial banana flavouring. that's on them.

warning: Good Omens series / season 2 spoilers

you have been warned

final warning okay thank you

(also Pride and Prejudice spoilers I guess if anyone still cares about that 210 years on)

·—·

they’re Pride and Prejudice, people! I’m telling you!

Aziraphale still holds onto his anti-Hell, pro-Heaven, anti-demon, pro-angel bias, his prejudice telling him that there is no “institutional problem”, that Crowley fell because he asked questions rather than because Heaven didn’t want questions asked.

Crowley refuses to let go of his pride in his identity (whether that be as one of the fallen, or as part of a side that is neither Heaven nor Hell), and go back to the Heaven that betrayed him, which he doesn’t trust not to ruin everything.

Aziraphale is Lizzy, Crowley is Darcy.

and, come on, we all know what happens in Chapter 34.

Darcy proposes to her. he talks about having tried to pretend the love is not real (“in vain I have struggled”), and asks Lizzy to marry him despite the fact that they come from two different factions who traditionally wouldn’t marry, and despite the fact that he knows she does not possess the same identity he is proud of in himself.

and Lizzy turns him down, because she’s prejudiced against Darcy’s type and this has influenced how and what she thinks about him specifically.

Darcy leaves this proposal feeling hurt, betrayed, and upset, while Lizzy is too confident that she is right in the core beliefs that influenced her decision. and they go away needing to work on themselves.

(is all of this sounding familiar?)

and then they meet again and fall in love and there’s a successful proposal etc etc.

Crowley’s pride in what he is won’t let him take Aziraphale at half quality, still part of Heaven; Aziraphale must be so exceptional as to transcend that restrictive category. an angel who would buy into that nonsense is not what Crowley stands for. he cares about people in his own, very small category: their side, which he thought included Aziraphale. those outside Crowley’s side are not to be ruining Crowley’s “precious, peaceful, fragile existence”.

meanwhile, Aziraphale’s prejudice presents him two options. either Crowley remains a demon which means he is bad, or Crowley becomes an angel again, which means he can be properly good. in the second case, Aziraphale can have him. Aziraphale can’t have Crowley if he’s bad, which he must be if he’s a demon.

there’s a subtle difference between the two.

Crowley’s tactic is more about self-preservation for his group (which would have included Aziraphale if Aziraphale’d agreed to dump Heaven for their side, just as Darcy’s remaining pride extends to protecting Lizzy when they are married (“Darcy could never receive him [Wickham] at Pemberley”)).

Aziraphale is being self-righteous for the good in the world (which he would have done for Crowley too if Crowley’d agreed to be an angel, just as Lizzy loses her shit at Darcy for not helping Wickham and all of his myriad other moral failings and then turns around and defends him once she’s convinced he’s good (“that [her dislike of him] is all to be forgot”)).

of course, this all might be an accident on the part of the writers, but then again….

Crowley and Aziraphale’s ideas to get Nina and Maggie together were sheltering from the rain, one fabulous kiss, and Pride and Prejudice.

Crowley and Aziraphale have already had their sheltering from the rain — twice, actually (at the end of the creation scene, and the end of the Eden scene). they have also had their kiss — no explanation needed.

this is their Pride and Prejudice, right down to Crowley (Darcy) protesting when a dance with Aziraphale (Lizzy) is suggested.

I could go into how Pride and Prejudice is in and of itself a Much Ado About Nothing retelling, but honestly that’s not particularly relevant, just cool. (do watch the David Tennant and Catherine Tate Much Ado, though.)

so, my hypothesis for the conclusion of a potential series 3 is as follows.

it will involve Crowley’s equivalent of “one word from you will silence me forever”: Aziraphale’s last chance to answer in the affirmative and be with him. Aziraphale will learn that Crowley is not bad simply for being a demon (I hope), and Crowley will realise Aziraphale should be let into his heart even if he wasn’t always on Crowley’s side (I hope).

Darcy / Crowley stops refusing to interact positively with anybody not in the little clique, and Lizzy / Aziraphale stops believing an entire group to be awful.

I don’t know if I have anything else coherent to say on this. something about how they have to accept the things they cannot change about the other and change the things the other cannot accept about them?

(also Gabriel could arguably be Wickham, given that Crowley tries to convince Aziraphale that Gabriel did a nasty thing and should be kept away from those he wants to keep safe but Aziraphale won’t believe Gabriel is a bad person because Gabriel isn’t one of the group he considers to be bad… I mean, it’s just their pride and their prejudice again isn’t it. whether we’re talking about Darcy, Lizzy, and Wickham, or Crowley, Aziraphale, and Gabriel.

I’m not going to follow that extension of the comparison too far, though, because I don’t think I can reasonably claim that Beelzebub is Lydia.)

concluision: I don’t care whether it’s Benedick and Beatrice, or Darcy and Lizzy, or Crowley and Aziraphale. I love all of their dynamics.

and we have amazing things to look forward to if we can convince the company to make series 3.

The thing is that not a lot of you hear the lyrics:

"And I look at the phone on the floor and I drink

That nice wine you were saving, it's saving me now, love"

and immediately picture Crowley after the finale of season 2, and I think- I mean- it's not on.

You have to see it, please tell me you see it

The lyrics are from "Blossoms" by The Amazing Devil

[marvins-fuckass-tie]

i’m at a bar and someone mentioned the bible and I was going to find some way to enter the conversation and make it about Good Omens

[risetherivermoon]

i wonder if aziraphale remembers talking to crowley before he fell.. if they ever make the connection that crowley and that angel are the same person, i wonder if he'll think its his fault that she fell

[scatterbrainedart]

My posts about Crowley: His existence is fundamentally lonely. He is the father of free thinking, as well as the creator of manipulation. He is always too fast, too slow, at the wrong place at the wrong time, hanging around the wrong people. Every win he has even gotten has been ripped from him and instead rewarded to the antagonists of his point of view.

My posts about Aziraphale: I just fucjijg love him somuch like she is mt little scrinblo scruble ullodulloosble and I lov him so soomcuh theure so powerful amd silly and whimsical wtf

[queer-reader-07]

you mean to tell me that most people don’t get irrevocably attached to the media they consume??

they just watch a show and what? MOVE ON?! i call bullshit.
