I just had a thought about the costume design for Crowley.
The vests he wears mimic a corset. There's usually talk about Aziraphale's clothing layers, but Crowley has them tightly wrapped and covered. His clothing has a lot of buttons, even though they're usually open. His figure lines often form an hourglass.
And that red snakey print shirt under a black lace vest in the 1800s? *chef's kiss*
Not feeling well today so I’m flicking through Netflix, and look who popped up. Not strange to see them there, but to see these beautiful boys right next to each other was amusing & comforting. Perfect timing to make me feel a little better 🥰
Awhile ago I remembered this quote from Doctor Who and my angsty ass immediately thought that it fit so well with this heartbreaking little moment where Aziraphale thought that Crowley called him gorgeous, and then realized that she was talking to the stars 😭
Looking back. "I know what YOU smell like." And suddenly, subtly, it's THERE. Tiniest of bleps here and there. Which Aziraphale knows, because HE bleps in Hell to be in character. Crowley bleps a LOT around Jim-biel, trying to suss out if he's faking it. When he's explaining VAVOOM (and KUDOS to Jon Hamm because Goob's trying to do the Tennant/Crowley Left Eyebrow😄!), and infamously in the "Hello Gabriel" scene. It's been there the whole. Damn. Time.
But I looked, and: yeah, it's here. A half second after this gif starts, when he's hyperventilating and trying not to cry and soldiering on...blep. Tiny blep. Trying to maintain control...
