A REDRAW OF THAT ONE SCENE FROM GOOD OMENS SEASON 1 BECAUSE GAH IT GETS ME
i feel like there is so much opportunity in this show for bonus inhumanity and the idea that discorporated angels are just like. reverse vantablack. so bright it looks like a hole in existence. my man is lucky he was wearing sunglasses that day-
Hi people, I don't usually post my thoughts online, but I REALLY have to post this one because I haven't seen anyone talk about it (yet) and I wanted to know what y'all think.
So, I've been thinking about Good Omens (a lot) and realized that, in season 2, Gabriel knew about the second armageddon and the Metatron's plan, but he never told anyone about it. Aziraphale didn't know about it until he accepted the job as an archangel and the Metatron told him, and, since he had kinda argued with Crowley and was still angry, he wasn't gonna quit the job he got. BUT what if he had already been warned about the plan? What if Gabriel told Aziraphale and Crowley about it before he got away from Earth with Beelzebub? But most importantly: WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T HE WARN THEM?! THAT COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE WHOLE FIGHT/ARGUING SCENE. 😭😭😭
Everyone look at this!
He’s in the bookshop with a moving box!!!

Thank you for your time
I absolutely cannot stop thinking about the version of Crowley we get to see from before the Fall. He smiles differently, he speaks differently. There's so much oppenness in his expression. He loves what he does! Is genuinly mournful when he learns it will be destroyed.
Compared to the Crowley we see after years of solitude, abuse and treading on eggshells around his bosses. Closed off, furious, suspicious. I do truly believe that after he was called back to Hell in the graveyard that the next time Aziraphale saw him was in 1862, when he asked, in that feeble, broken down voice, for Holy Water. He has spent so much of his existence in survival mode, is desperate to cling to the peace he's found.
Nina describes him as the "hard bitten one" who can't trust anyone ever again, and it sort of gobsmacked me that she could see that!!! that Neil Gaiman would have someone say that!!!!! But, of course, she is in many ways the same.
Whatever happened to Crowley after the Laudanum incident certainly wasn't a one-off. He was certainly punished again and again for deeds seen as too good. Enough so that when he is called kind, when he is called good, when he is thanked, his response is violent panic.
It's easy for us to believe that maybe he's always been like that. But no. Gaiman gave us incontestable proof that there was a time where Crowley smiled freely, where he looked with wide and joyful eyes at the parts of the world he created. The difference from that, to the numb and deeply lonely Crowley that we see with Job, the anxious, repressed and angry Crowley that we see in the present day, is one of the biggest tragedies of all.
