crowley used the metal tool in season 1 to start time, and we learn that he's used it first to start space. to create the stars -- he still remembers how. he still remembers all of heaven's passwords: in the book crowley is described as an optimist because he has the "utter surety... that the universe would look after him". not god, but the universe. and of course he does: he helped create it and he's looking after it, too.

think about it: aziraphale had a sword, but crowley is about to face satan who wants to destroy the world, and crowley's only weapon is a tool of creation

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !

Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)

I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!

someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)

uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE

Do you think Aziraphale is the literal origin of the damsel in distress trope or did he get the idea from reading books

"when aziraphale asks for help in s3 crowley will refuse him" have you SEEN the show?? have you ever in your life watched good omens?? that mf will JUMP on any opportunity even the smallest one to be close to aziraphale again he would drink gallons of holy water if aziraphale asked him to!! that bitch will be up there in heaven THE MILLISECOND he even thinks something is wrong don't be ridiculous

Dont mind me just sobbing at the fact that Crowley was supposed to be the one to save the dead dove 😭

I have had a rough week, so I drew 60s ineffable wives to cheer myself up : )

This picture is either currently being used as a bookmark in one of the books that NEVER leaves Aziraphale's desk, or is carefully clipped into the Bentley's sun visor. Neil needs to tell me which in season 3

i do not care how they make it happen but aziraphale and crowley deserve tenderness in s3. Not necessarily another kiss but just… az putting his hand on crowley’s neck as they look at each other, crowley being allowed to run their fingers through the angel’s hair, sitting together on the sofa with crowley’s head in az’s lap, az calling crowley ‘darling’ or ‘my dear’, crowley bringing their angel flowers, they deserve the opportunity to show the other how much they love them

thats it, ducks!! what water slides off of!!

+ motivational aziraphale on the top right of my canvas to keep me from blowing a gasket while painting @_@

+ ref!!

Guys I’ve made a breakthrough

(I’ll add more gifs later just- bear with me for a second)

Crowley didn’t fall in love in the beginning, no. He fell in love when he and Aziraphale were in Job’s cellar. Let me explain

So we all know Crowley is describing how he fell in love when he talks about making Maggie and Nina fall in love under an awning

We all thought it was referencing the first scene in the beginning where Aziraphale covers him with his wing as the first rainstorm approaches

But if you stop to think about it, you realise it’s only Crowley is under the awning, in this case Aziraphale’s wing. And they don’t face eachother. AND it’s not actually raining yet.

They’re side by side yes, but only Crowley won’t get wet, since Aziraphale can’t physically get under his own wing. (Unless magical shenanigans but yeah)

That’s why I think he’s referring to the first time they "ate" together.

Think about it, he talks about a "sudden downpour" and I don’t know about you but the storm that unleashes on Job’s house (is it even his house??) seems extremely sudden and violent to me.

And if you compare it to the way he makes the rain happen for Nina and Maggie, I think you’ll find it’s very similar

And I mean it makes so much sense! Just think about how much he loves watching Aziraphale eat! It was the first time he saw him eat, and they looked into each other’s eyes.

Ever since then he’s been madly in love.

when you don't know anything at all, and yet

(aka what if after season 2 heaven takes aziraphale's memories too)

take me to church is a great choice for crowley, but all i can see rn is crowley jumping around burning his lil' demonic feet, take him to church but metaphorically not for real please

so on the subject of the "Crowley is secretly Revaan/Laverne/Levin/please Twst give us his name" theory, I think my feelings are best summed up as "I don't really buy it, but it's funny". like, in all seriousness, I'm not opposed to it; I have enjoyed the writing in Twst so far and I'm willing to trust that whatever happens will, you know, make sense and not be terrible. but I'm just not really convinced by the current evidence! maybe that'll change once we learn more, we'll see!

with that said, may I propose a few alternate theories about the possible Crowley/Revaan connection:

I just started Good Omens, mostly to understand why everyone ships Aziraphale and Crowley so much.

I'm like halfway in the third episode

I understand now. 😭

Aziraphale telling Crowley that all Crowley needs to do is shoot the gun at him, and he'll do the hard part really is their whole relationship in a nutshell, because undoubtedly the hard part is holding a gun at someone you love's face and hoping that you miss, but Crowley constantly sets his fears/doubts/boundaries/wants aside for Aziraphale, and Aziraphale has such a skewed sense of their relationship, because he's gotten so used to Crowley doing things for him that that's just how they work (but also it's a trust that Crowley will always be there to help, that Crowley can hold a gun pointed at his face and it'll be fine), and ironically the magic show only happened in the first place because Aziraphale wanted to repay Crowley for helping him out before that

I’m still thinking about the Book of Life because it’s such an obvious Chekhov’s gun. I don’t recall it ever being mentioned in S1, but in S2 it is highlighted twice as a very real, serious threat, and then it’s never brought up again. It can’t just hang indefinitely in the air like that, so I expect it will be used at some point in S3.

But in a way, this threat is kind of hollow when used towards Crowley, because Heaven can’t erase him from history, and they know they can’t. The Fall of Man is such a crucial point in the Great/Ineffable Plan that I doubt they would be willing to mess with that, as much as they hate him. He’s the literal Serpent of Eden! How can the Plan proceed if there’s no one to tempt Eve? The existence of The Serpent is such a core part of the Fall of Man (both in the GO universe and in biblical lore in general) that I think it would be simply too big a risk to take.

From our point of view, Aziraphale is also crucial for the history of humanity until this point. It’s not explicitly stated, but think about it for a moment: would Adam and Eve have survived, had Aziraphale not given them his sword? There’s beasts out there, and it’s cold, and she’s expecting already. We literally see Adam fight a lion with the sword mere moments after being exiled from Eden; I don’t think their odds would have been all that good without it. It’s at least likely that Humanity has managed to survive the Fall and thrive because of Aziraphale’s actions.

Here’s the thing, though: we know this, but Heaven doesn’t, because Aziraphale has been lying to them (and to God!!!) about this ever since the Beginning. What has he done of worth in the eyes of Heaven? Sure, he was guarding the Eastern Gate, he’s been on Earth thwarting demons and all that jazz, but as far as they know, he’s never had a pivotal role in the Plan (except for. You know. Stopping Armageddon. But they didn’t want him to have that role, and they still resent him for it). There’s no reason for them to hesitate, should they be threatened by his existence, because to them he’s not necessary to carry out the will of God (as opposed to Crowley).

So yeah. I think the Book of Life will make another appearance in S3. And, if it does, I think Aziraphale is the most likely candidate as its victim.
