don't make me tap the sign

[image id: screenshot of the simpsons "don't make me tap the sign" meme, where the sign is edited to read "“Hastur was a Duke of Hell. Crowley wasn’t even a local councilor” - Good Omens (1990)" /end id]

update: re-read the book lately and realized they spell it "counsellor" bc they're british. this makes sense but it also means my american ass can't help but read "counsellor" as the american "counselor" which is like a therapist or mental health consultant (the way i spelled it originally is like. someone who sits on a council. which is what i'm sure they meant). just wanted to share the fun image of crowley as a therapist ("I see I see. have you tried yelling at plants?"), or even funnier, that "Duke" as a title is like. a level above therapist. grand therapist. high throne of therapy. tier 1 therapist hastur la vista.

#it's very important to me personally that crowley is truly just some guy #like yes he's the serpent of eden and technically invented human sin #which basically just got him a pat on the back and then put to work for the next 6000 years #while the ceo (satan) largely gets the credit for the whole apple thing #bc good omens is a critique of bureaucracy and capitalism #crowley's not special bc of his status with hell or even who he used to be in heaven #he's special bc he's *crowley*#he's special bc he's imaginative and creative and optimistic and clever #he's lived and loved and worked on earth for so long that its had the same profound effect on him that it does on aziraphale #that gives them the perspective that heaven and hell lack #idk its just. a lot of feelings for me #good omens #original post #image id
