We all agree that 1992 script!Crowley is Not a Proper Crowley™. So what does make up a proper Crowley?
1. Loves earth, wants to continue living there for as long as possible - doesn’t want the apocalypse to happen!
2. Likes humans, thinks they’re clever, enjoys the things they create
3. Low Grade Evil - the M25 and the coins glued to the sidewalk, he doesn’t want to HURT people, he just wants a little mischief - often ends up inconveniencing himself with his wiles
4. Squicked by torture! Check out this demon, he hates the 14th century, doesn’t enjoy human suffering like his fellow demons, is sickened by edgy, sadistic humans.
5. HUMANSONA - gender, lifestyle, flashy flat, Crowley wants to come off as a certain kind of human, and gets invested in how he comes off - changes his name, Anthony J Crowley. Tries to sign the document with his chosen name instead of his demonic sigil.
6. Wily Old Serpent - Gives humankind the knowledge of good and evil. Crowley pokes holes in the system, sees the flaws in the plans, thinks up things no one else does, asks too many questions. Curious, slippery, clever, uses holy water on a fellow demon! Thinks fast, telephone escape plan (so long sucker!)
7. The point is DOLPHINS! Gets drunk and rambles emotionally - he’s passionate about stuff! Whales! Space! Whatever it is that water slides off! Takes a train of thought and RUNS with it, loves a good argu-Ducks!!
8. Do it with style. The DRAMA. The James Bond bullet hole stickers on his car (what a nerd). The Saunter. Ciao. There he is now, the flash bastard. Blasting Queen, waving from inside his burning car.
9. Ngk
10. Local Demon’s Cool Facade Cracks Under Dreadful Odds - scared, anxious boy underneath the sunglasses. Scheduled panic time. Shitshitshitshit!
11. Enjoys Aziraphale’s company! Respects and actively thinks of him as a friend, someone he trusts and cares about! WANTS to spend time with him, considers him better company than demons and other angels (and likely humans too)
12. Runs into a burning building for Aziraphale. Stands with him at the end of the world, facing down certain death to defend the earth and the humans they care about. Both angel and demon align themselves with earth, big character arc, Crowley finally stands up for what he believes in.
13. Can I tempt you to some lunch? - Respects the Sacred Intimacy of going out for lunch with his object of affection. Clandestine meetings. The Arrangement. Arguments that last over a few decades. Feeding the ducks. Going to the museum. Bickering. Ancient History Shenanigans. The Intimacy of being Drunk Together.
14. BENTLEY - Powered by pure imagination and Freddie Mercury, Mr. High Tech is deeply attached to his vintage car. V good for driving angels around, road trips are essential. Tape player, Only Plays Queen.
15. snek. eyes. dubious feets?? really weird things with his tongue.
16. Hi guys - shows up late to the graveyard, gives Hastur and Ligur a little wave. They’re not impressed.
17. “talks” to his plants
18. Sad goodbye when Aziraphale leaves without paying attention to him :(
20. sleepy snek. Big nap.
Dear Good Omens Tumblr fandom and Neil Gaiman fans,
Please can we put a short hiatus on sending Neil Asks? If you follow his Tumblr then you’ll have seen that he’s currently too busy to take his full planned family holiday as he needs to work.
We can’t help with that but we might be able to help Neil by not drawing him into reblogs of reblogs of Asks. We’ve also got to accept that we’re going to have to “wait and see” for Good Omens series 2, American Gods, Sandman and everything else he’s juggling right now.
I am sorry if I’m overstepping by making this request, and I am positive that Neil would never ask this himself. His respect for (and willingness to engage with) readers and fans is a huge reason we love him so.
Family is so important. Please let’s help Neil make sure he gets to spend as much time with them on the holiday as he can. Thank you.
i hope they hold hands. that’s all i have to say.
Yesss. Me personally I would love hand holding and a hug :)) ❤!
Four in the Afternoon
Written for @do-it-with-style-events “Who Needs a Great Plan” event, day 1, prompt “Four,” and inspired by this art by @lookitsstevie that was so cute I had to rush back to my word doc and write another fic.
–
It was past the hottest part of the day. You know these things when you’re a serpent, even if you haven’t actually been a serpent for a very long time.
Subtle clues. A shift in the wind, the angle of the sun, the return of the creatures that sought shelter from the summer heat, rodents and birds, and beautiful angels.
Crowley propped his head up, emerging from the grass and wildflowers to smile as Aziraphale emerged from the shade of the tree, pressing his book shut. “How does the basking go, dear?”
“Good.” Crowley stretched his legs, flexed his toes, tilted his head back to gaze at the sky, drawing in every drop of sunlight he could get. It made him drowsy, and warm, and happy, though he couldn’t let too many people find out about that last one. “Do we need to head back?”
Aziraphale slid his book into the picnic basket and glanced up at the sun. “Oh…it’s only four in the afternoon. We still have time.”
“Mmmmh. Not getting hungry?”
“Not quite yet.” The grass swished, and Aziraphale’s head came into view, silver hair shining brighter than his halo ever had. “Is it comfortable down there?”
Before Crowley could answer, Aziraphale had stretched himself out on the grass, one arm held out beside him. Wiggling his hips, Crowley side-winded closer, settling his head on his angel’s shoulder, slipping an arm around to embrace him.
“You know,” Aziraphale said, “It’s been ages since I sat and watched the clouds. I think I’ll give it a try.”
“Aren’t any clouds.” Crowley shut his eyes and drank in a new source of warmth, better than sunlight, just there beside him.
“Ah, well.” His arm tightened, pulling his demon a little closer. “I’m sure I’ll find some way to pass the time.”
Crowley and his lovely
terrorizedcollection of house plants.Tried to play around with a collection of low-light plants that he would have (including one that is a gift from Aziraphale).
I don’t know what possessed me to do this, but here, have a billion crowleys
This absolutely adorable commission swept me off my feet. It was meant to be a present, so I had to hold off on posting it, but now I finally can! :) I’ll just on any chance to draw these two, but this was especially sweet.
