hi i wrote a song for crowley in a warped sort of catholic hymn style
ELEIMON AEGOVOSKOS [Crowley's Hymn]
Kyrie eleison
Sinner, repenter, o lover of mine
Take what you will, I lay at your shrine
Hellfire, holy water alike
Bring damnation, salvation, oh peace be mine
Please be mine
Nightshade nightingale
Challenger of God
Sea that parted, hope that failed
Loveless child of the Lord
Tempter so tempted, o starmaker’s smile
Give what you will, an inch for a mile
Your kindness, wrath, both so alike
Bring violent seduction, so beautiful, vile
O beautiful guileless guile
Haloed and hallowed, o hollowed outcry
Pray to the ruins of your darling sky
Now lovers and allies, or foes alike
We are ruined, remade, or at least we try
O at least we try
Heaven and Hell, o my Fallen divine
Equal in wrath, follow close behind
Mercy, damnation, twin judgements alike
On your knees, your judgement will not be so blind
You have never been blind
Forgive me for being blind
O forgive me for being blind
Dies irae
On your knees, your judgement
Is not so blind
You see as they see, you feel it in kind
On your knees, your judgement
Is not so blind
Your damnation has made you divine
Your damnation has made you divine
Please forgive me
And please be mine
Kyrie eleison
-Asmi
Notes: There are references to old poems and hymns here, including Kyrie eleison which in Greek means Lord have Mercy, roughly, and Dies irae, an old Latin poem about the Last Judgement or Judgement Day, when God decides who is saved and who is cast into eternal flames.
The line On your knees your judgement is not so blind refers to that one shot in Season 2 Episode 3, where rather than Aziraphale who stands and judges the poor bodysnatchers, Crowley sits next to them and understands. Because he is fallen, and on his knees, his judgement isn't as blind as Heaven's.
Hellfire, holy water alike bring salvation, damnation refers to a sentiment I believe Crowley expresses about how whether Hell ends the world or Heaven, it will be ended just the same.
Now lovers and allies, or foes alike refers to their arrangement, about how either they are allies and lovers, or at the very least foes who are very, very similar at heart.
Finally, the title, Eleimon Aegovoskos, is Greek for Merciful Goatherd. Yep, this is a reference to the Job storyline. Because of how Crowley saved the goats though Heaven and Hell said to destroy them, and also because of that one Biblical story about Abraham where he is ordered to sacrifice his son, but really there is a goat waiting to be sacrificed instead. Crowley spares even the goats from needless sacrifice. Hence Merciful Goatherd, similar to how God is a merciful shepherd (I believe, I'm not sure) because Crowley's damnation has made him divine. I'm not Christian and I don't know much about this, so I'm open to corrections :")

I LEARNED TO CROTCHET TO MAKE CROWLEY STUFF
I'm so normal about Crowley maggots I swear. But I wanted a black beanie (I always wear those) with yellow Crowley eyes on the front 🥺 and so I decided to. Well. Learn to crotchet so that I could make one.
ANYWAY so @singalongpoppet and @bat-plus-moth-equals-both took me under their yarny wings and taught me today AND LOOK GUYS THIS IS THE FIRST SHAPE I MADE. IT'S THE BASIC RECTANGLE BUT NATURALLY I FUCKED UP AND IT TAPERED COZ I MISSED A STITCH. THEN I REALISED IT LOOKS LIKE A MAGGOT. SO I ADDED EYES AND A MOUTH. but poorly so when you turn it over you see an eldritch mess of knot and thread that look vaguely like a face but totally normal from the front. Kind of like the good omens fandom pretending to be normal while burning on the inside.
LOOK MY FIRST CROTCHET THING AND IT'S YOU ALL!! I MADE A LITTLE MAGGOT! SCREW ADULTHOOD I'M DOING ARTS AND CRAFTS AND IT'S THANKS TO CROWLEY.
