pt XVI good omens season 2 (still not traumatic) episode 3 EDINBURGH
HELLO IT'S ME IT'S THE OFFICIAL GOOD OMENS MASCOT WHY DO I STILL KEEP INTRODUCING MYSELF IDK. If you don't know who I am, thank God and Satan for their mercy and flee. Also, the day after I post this, I'll be watching the last three episodes on livestream for the first time so. You know. I'm hyped on the energy of this being my last day not enveloped in tears. Take the summary:
Before the episode starts, someone asks why Crowley said in the last episode that Aziraphale couldn't fall because look at him, all angelic when Crowley looked the same as starmaker. I reply that "Crowley thinks he deserved it, he sees Azi as something beautiful and untouched while he probably sees himself as idk marked in some way so god kicked him down."
I am told that I am learning too fast to weaponise the narrative to induce angst. So then I say oh, I go too fast for you. Tears ensue.
The episode begins! Everyone shrieks about Edinburgh, David Tennant, how it is their favourite episode, and SCOTTISH CROWLEY.
We open with lesbians being gay, and then Muriel enters as Inspector Constable! They are very sweet and very determined to do their job right, and they are adopted by Crowley and Aziraphale just like Jim.
Crowley sits on Aziraphale's chair's arm. The maggots all swoon.
Fine, I also swooned.
Aziraphale gaslight-gatekeep-girlboss-mansplain-manipulate-manwhores his way into getting Crowley to give him the Bentley keys (BOUNDARIES. BOUNDARIES.).
WHAT PLENTY OF USE DO BOTH OF YOU GET OUT OF THE BOOKSHOP?
The really ineffable plan is whatever the fuck was happening in Aziraphale's brain when he somehow went from London to Edinburgh via Loch Ness (check the map) and then proceeded to disguise himself as a detective who pretends to be a journalist.
Crowley slays in sleeve garters and a cardigan keeping house in the bookshop meanwhile, does not sell books, instead cleans with Jimbriel and periodically yeets book stacks into corners when distracted.
Aziraphale reads his old diary entries about Crowley, a (6000+) 13 year old with a crush.
MINISODE MINISODE. They are in Edinburgh during the mid 1800s. Victorian outfits, check. Scottish Crowley, check. Capitalist Karen Aziraphale, che-wait what.
Huh. Well. There's a wee bit of body snatchin' going on, to sell to doctors for medical research because there aren't enough murderers, and to make enough money to survive.
Aziraphale channels his inner capitalist judgemental Karen and ruins that plan, come on Aziraphale you have religious trauma but you're better than this, and long story short, Wee Morag dies after Aziraphale realises his error, her friend Elspeth has to sell her corpse for pennies, and is about to commit suicide with laudanum. Azi, oh god. I'm glad you underwent character development at least.
NOW CROWLEY HERE SLAYS. I KNOW THIS IS AZIRAPHALE'S PERSPECTIVE AND IS BIASED. BUT WITH THIS POV, CROWLEY SLAYS.
He calmly educates Aziraphale about how his whole "the poor have more opportunities and you shouldn't give them money or they'll lose the virtue of poverty" is absolute bullshit, and he does this understanding Aziraphale's situation and not losing his temper.
The framing. The framing of the shot when they see Wee Morag and Elspeth sitting down on a step and explaining their situation. Aziraphale stands above, bustling with righteousness, and judges them. Crowley sits down. He sits down next to them, rather than taking the high ground. He meets them where they are and empathises. It is the fact that he is fallen and damned that makes him behave really divine and sorry I wrote a whole hymn on him have it I'll stop rambling just know I love him.
I think his amusement is a facade so hell won't think he's genuinely being good. I think he's morally grey and incredibly brave and kind.
When Elspeth is bouta kill herself with the laudanum, Crowley grabs it and drinks it himself, and grows tiny and then huge, absolutely high off his head. David Tennant takes the opportunity to travel Scotland from east to west in terms of accent variety.
He gives us the good message of NO DYIN'. NO MORE DYIN'. IT'S NOT ON. And then forces Aziraphale (who doesn't want to ruin her virtuous poverty) to give the girl all the guineas he has in his pocket, and tells her to go off and start a farm or something. BUT NOT JUST PRETENDY GOOD, BE PROPERLY GOOD.
He then gets pulled into hell. To be punished for this. Aziraphale is frightened and heartbroken for him, looking around desperately, and we find out that Crowley didn't meet him for a while after. And later he wanted holy water. To protect himself? He got punished by hell. For how long? The whole month in between the incident and the diary entry? There can't be anyone better at punishment and cruelty than hell.
Sorry I'm just screaming here.
Never mind fuck I started this summary really happy and bouncy and listening to a dance playlist. Dionysus by BTS and Italian pop is still playing and now I'm crying.
Is this the natural progression. Fuck I'm crying. Sorry guys something else happens with Aziraphale politely talking to a phone and Crowley smiling really beautifully while unsuccessfully trying to manipulate two lesbians into a relationship and something about a visit I don't care everyone's being morally dubious as usual and then lovely Scottish music outro I CAN'T FUCKING ELABORATE I'M SITTING HERE CRYING OVER CROWLEY.
right summary done, time to go sob, lmao i thought i wouldn't cry today over good omens HAHAHAHA still not traumatic eh HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I was thinking about how our ineffable pair lived a good portion of time in the uk so they are just a hop, skip and a jump away from Ireland.
I decided to do some rough sketches of what I’d have them wear. They both have traditional léine on but Aziraphale’s is lighter and Crowley’s is far darker to fit their looks. Typically they are saffron or white.
Crowley wearing a kilt because she’s always loved being stylish yet out of style, and I’m a sucker for the fact David is Scottish and we’ve always loved our Scottish bros (history probably disagrees but whatever)
Aziraphale is fem presenting here because they always seem to wear things that cover them up quite a lot, it’s what they’re comfortable in. The fem look also just fits his aesthetic more tbh. Also the plaid tartan-esque look is not typical of the time, but I can’t imagine her without it.
I can imagine Crowley being quite Scottish while Aziraphale deals with some moral quandary about penal laws and crime or something idk.
And yes, the embroidery is very intentional.
(Also this is just a sketch so I didn’t try very hard to match either body type, sorry I’m lazy)

it's not because I'm tipsy at the moment (yes I am) but the fact of having spent a nice day with friends made me think about what's important in life and what you want from life, from the future... basically, in life, we should aim to be happy.
If other people get in the way, it's wrong.
Tumblr media
The goal is happiness. so for the future, I wish everyone only one thing: to be happy.

Someone showed me the script book, the part where @neil-gaiman added "if David can do the accent" for Victorian Crowley and after watching the episode I'm just...
Neil: Hey, David, can you do a Scottish accent for Crowley?
David: Yeah :)
Neil: Great, which one?
David: Yeah :)

[photo id: One the top left is a portrait of Crowley, with his head slightly tilted up and he is tearing up. To his left are lines from a conversation between him and Aziraphale in parentheses; "Oh Crowley, nothing lasts forever" to which Crowley responds "No, i suppose it doesn't". To Crowley's right is Aziraphale, Looking very sad and about to cry. To his right is another conversation quote in parentheses; He says "I forgive you" and Crowley says "Don't Bother". In between them are the lyrics from Coming Home by Falling In Reverse; "Even if it's hard". In the middle right of the page is continuing of the lyrics; "Even when i'm far". On the bottom of the page is Crowley dancing around because he's on hallowed grounds, and Aziraphale holding Crowley because he's drunk on laudanum. Between those two instances is the final part of the lyrics for this piece, "I will always be there". /End id]
(oh, Crowley. nothing lasts forever. No, i suppose it doesn't.)
Even if it's hard
(I forgive you. Don't bother.)
Even if i'm far
I will always be there
part two:
i was gonna stop here but i have more ideas so i'm gonna keep going lollll

Inspired by @vavoom-sorted-art !
SUMMARY: What if Crowley didn't get pulled down to Hell for his good deed? What if more than a high is what he got from the Laudanum? What if it gave him the liquid courage to do something even more outrageous?
Scottish Crowley is my one true love and that one artwork she did is permanently etched into my skull.
Please check out her work, and as always, thanks for coming <3

congrats to david tennant for finally getting to be scottish in a tv show. it’s even funnier because in the edinburgh scenes they made him sound more scottish than he actually is. he has spent years not using his real accent on tv and then they make him make it more extreme

I can’t stop thinking about how “Flower of Scotland” came out in the 60s so Elspeth had NO idea what Crowley was singing and probably thought he made it up
