Crowley thought him and Aziraphale could be like Gabriel and Beelzebub, going off together for the rest of eternity, but then he realised they weren’t on “our side” anymore and Aziraphale couldn't accept that Crowley isn't an angel and Crowley not wanting to go back to be an angel.
Crowley just wanted to be with Aziraphale, his angel.
One of my favourite things about Good Omens is how there’s no homophobia.
Despite the biblical references, Aziraphale & Crowley’s relationship isn’t seen as a sin because of their sexuality.
Some may argue and say it’s because they’re an angel and a demon; they don’t have genders; therefore, they’re not gay. But they still present themselves as male humans to the general public and males around each other and Heaven and Hell.
Heaven and Hell don’t hate Aziraphale and Crowley’s relationship because it seems like a same-sex relationship.
Heaven and Hell don’t like Aziraphale & Crowley in season 2 because they’re seen as “traitors” after Armageddon.
So, they’re not homophobic.
It’s similar to how, in The Owl House (another excellent TV show that got queer representation right), Amity’s parents hated Luz, not because she was a girl, instead because she was a “troublemaker human” to them.
Am I the only that finds it more frustrating when the author says “use your imagination” than an unfinished fic.
Because when it’s unfinished there’s at least the tiniest amount of hope of the author coming back to it.
But when it’s “use your imagination” I just wanna throw my phone at the wall.
Good Omens Season 2 has hurt my heart that nothing but Season 3 redemption can heal.
To be honest, I can’t decide if I ship Sherlock and John romantically or platonically.
I’m not sure if want them to be in a romantic relationship because we need more LGBTGIA+ representation in media, and Sherlock and John’s pairing is a good idea.
A detective and his assistant, solving crimes, going on adventures and saving each other. Falling in love on the way.
But on the other hand, having them as platonic close friends shows a healthy close male friendship without any toxic masculinity/insecurities, and showing that two friends can care for each other without any romance.
We don’t know much about Crowley when he was angel. He didn’t mean to fall he just “sauntered vaguely downwards”. He hung around with the wrong people, “with Lucifer and the guys” and asked too many questions.
I’m gonna be focusing on him hanging around with the wrong people, specifically with Lucifer.
What if, when Crowley was an angel, he fell in love with Lucifer.
When I say “fell in love” I don’t mean actually falling in love with him, not the true love he felt for Aziraphale. Crowley might’ve had a teenager-like crush on Lucifer.
We don’t know how Lucifer canonically looks in the show, he might’ve been one of the most beautiful, handsome creatures ever.
Lucifer could’ve tricked Crowley to become a devil. Lucifer might’ve seduced him in a way. Lucifer could’ve said “You’re an Angel, I’m a Demon, this won’t work. But if you also become a demon we could be together.”
Crowley refused it at first. He wanted to be with Lucifer but he wasn’t ready to give up being an Angel.
It started off with small things. For example Lucifer could’ve made Crowley to believe the duties heaven gave him was boring and he could just lie about it. He might’ve told him he could lie all the time in hell, not having to do boring tasks.
But small things snowball into big things.
Overtime Crowley spending more time Lucifer and Lucifer messing with his mind, making him questioning everything about heaven causing him to fall, sorry I mean “sauntering vaguely downwards”.
We don’t know if Crowley hated becoming a demon but if he did have an adolescent crush on Lucifer, even though he didn’t mean to fall he might’ve been relieved to become a demon. He would’ve thought he had a chance with Lucifer. But when he went to Lucifer, Lucifer just told him “I just tricked you into becoming one of us, I never loved you.” breaking Crowley’s heart.
Kinda like a good girl falling in love with the bad boy but when she becomes a bad girl the bad boy leaves her. (In this scenario Crowley is the good girl and Lucifer is the bad boy.)
When he first met Aziraphale, he might’ve even thought about tricking him to become a demon like he once was. But when Aziraphale put his wing over him that made him change his mind.
Because when they first met it was time for the first rain. They didn’t know it if would rain holy water and the first rain was probably the holiest, it might’ve rained holy water. So Aziraphale covering Crowley with his wing, from Crowley’s POV would be Aziraphale protecting him.
He might’ve thought “This random Angel that I just met decided to protect me, I should leave him as an Angel.”
And/Or he might’ve become friends with Aziraphale to protect him from Lucifer. To make sure no more innocent angels like he once was fall because of getting tricked by a demon.
Credit to this beautiful animatic (that made me cry) for the idea:
I LOVED the movie.
I love how different and real this felt compared to most hero movies. There was no scene where Sir Nicholas Winton delivered an emotional heroic speech to a crowd to get help and donations (given the time period and place they were in, that would’ve been incredibly unrealistic as freedom of speech was limited). “Show, not tell” was achieved beautifully in this film. Instead of everything working out in a night, they showed Nicky, Doreen and Trevor working long hours, racing time day and night.
Instead of Sir Winton saying he loved and cared about kids, they showed it by him photographing kids and doing everything within his power to find foster homes for them. I also loved the scene where he gives kids small pieces of chocolate and how happy the kids look during that scene. It also makes the viewers realise how small things most take for granted, such as chocolate, can be a privilege to some and how fortunate we are to have it.
I also loved how they showed Sir Winton grieving the loss of the children they couldn’t save. The producers didn’t change it to a perfect happy ending where everyone lives. Instead, they mentioned what happened to those who weren’t as fortunate, but the 669 lives they rescued are worth celebrating.
I also appreciate at the end of the movie, they told us what happened to Nicky’s friends. They weren’t just forgotten; instead, they were mentioned without too much screen time, as this movie is about Sir Nicholas Winton and the children he saved.
I’m tired, I’m bed, in need of sleep. But I can’t sleep because I can’t wait for season 2 of Good Omens.
I feel like I’ve waited 6000 years for this.
I won’t miss it for the world.
"The worst he could say is no."
Aziraphale: "I forgive you."
