maybe the reason we don’t see crowley eat very often is because he keeps a snakelike dining schedule and once every couple of weeks he orders half the menu of whichever restaurant he and aziraphale go to for dinner
YES!!!
i worked on the r/goodomens mini bang with wanderingsilvan to draw for their cowboy au fic!!
you can read Gods Gonna Cut You Down by Wanderingsilvan here!
their expressions are just hbshbdhbdh they’re such dumbasses i love them
HE LOOKS LIKE AN ANGRY MARSHMALLOW
I love how Hamm just looks… CONCERNED™.
Noticed something while re-reading Good Omens: the description of Crowley’s flat mentions beds, plural, but bedroom, singular. Ended up with a funny mental image I wanted to share.
Crowley has been waiting for the right time to say “you can stay at my place, if you like“ for longer than he lets on :P
I honestly did not anticipate how many people would find this sad rather than funny/cute. Oops? Rest assured, he does get that sleepover, eventually.
In fact, the night the world didn’t end, they were both too exhausted* to bother with the ladder, and ended up passed out together on the bottom bunk.
*Sure, they don’t technically need sleep, and sure, Aziraphale isn’t in the habit, but c’mon. It had been a long day week eleven years.
Several people in the notes also suggested that Crowley may have gotten his idea of what a couple’s bedroom should look like from watching old sitcoms, and that’s also very valid.
Well this is adorable. I’m os glad it took a fluffy turn ^///^
One of the things I miss about book!Aziraphale is how much of a bastard he is.
Don't get me wrong. As anyone else, I'm utterly charmed by Sheen's performance and I got everything I wanted out of the show, but there is the problem that when Crowley says 'Enough of a bastard to be worth knowing', and Aziraphale smiles, it rings hollow. Because show!Aziraphale is an absolute sweetheart.
What we lost in the translation are the nasty parts of Aziraphale character, starting from the very beginning. "I'm an angel, I can't possibly act bad" is a dangerous idea to live with, and it shows.
On paper, Aziraphale is perfect. He loves people... They just have to stay away from him, because they're an inconvenience. In the book it's implied that he gets rid of the most pressing customers, and we don't know how. They just disappear.
He loves animals... But if he accidentally kills a dove because of his incompetence as a magician, it's not his problem. (And he doesn't care enough to keep his animals in a safe place, which is also telling). Crowley resurrects the dove. Crowley.
He loves to collect rare religios texts... But the wrong ones. The ones that contains sentences as "the unrighteous shall inherit the Kingdom of God", or "thou shaft commit adultery". Those nasty bits are the ones that amuse Aziraphale.
He does miracles... But when Crowley turns the water pistol into real guns, nobody's hurt. When Aziraphale turns the real guns into water pistols (at Warlock's birthday), he misses one. He hears a shot in the distance, and he doesn't care enough to come back to check.
Of course, Aziraphale tries actively to do good. He's pleased when he heals Anathema (and her bike). But. Anathema was a 'Good Samaritan' Textbook Example, so close to the Bible that there could not be any possible doubts about what the 'right' course of action was supposed to be. Anathema was easy.
Adam wasn't easy. Which is why in the book Crowley doesn't have to convince Aziraphale to kill the antichrist, because Aziraphale thinks that he's the antichrist, so killing him must be good. And even if Aziraphale falters when he sees the kid, the fact that he has lasted that long without questioning the goodness of his actions is telling.
In conclusion, I miss book!Aziraphale, the real bastard of the duo.

Good Omens as a d&d game, though
“I’m going to roll to see if I notice the kid isn’t the antichrist right away”
“Okay go for it”
“…nat 1”
“You don’t notice for 11 years”
Crowley’s instagram: edgy photo sets, always aesthetic, taken at 5 pm exactly because that’s the best lighting, forced candid shots that look natural but everyone knows it took him days to arrange everything meticulously
Aziraphale’s instagram: blurry photos of ducks, badly lit photographs of his favorite book passages, manicures, food half eaten bc he forgot to take a picture before eating, candid shots of Crowley looking very stressed and swiping at the phone as if he’s going to knock it away, one(1) selfie of aziraphale taken on accident and he looks absolutely befuddled
crowley goes through 48 emotions in the span of 3 minutes while aziraphale had one single emotion since the Beginning and it’s Constant Anxiety™️
Um EXCUSE U Aziraphale obviously has TWO emotions and they are Constant Anxiety™️ and Eating A Food: Yum!
Otherwise this is 1000% accurate, yes.
Aziraphale being rude to customers (because he needs to see his husband) since 1862
