Neil Gaiman: The truth is that Michael was meant to have played Crowley. That was where it all began: was me going, 'Who do I know who could be Crowley? Michael Sheen loves the book, Michael would do it.', called Michael, do you want to do it, and he's like, 'Yes!', I thought, 'Great, I have a Crowley.'. So when I started writing the scripts, I was writing them going I know I have - at least I have my Crowley, I have Michael Sheen. And around the middle of Episode 3, I was going, 'This Crowley doesn't really feel a lot like Michael Sheen.', and I wrote this sceen when Crowley comes down the center aisle of a church hopping like a man on a beach on a hot day 'cause it's walking on holy ground and I thought, 'David Tennant would be really good at that, I could get David Tennant.', and then when it was all done I figured I had to break it to Michael, that he wasn't going to be Crowley, that I wanted him to be Aziraphale, and he read the scripts, and we had this really really awkward dinner, that because I was trying to pluck the courage to break it to Michael that I wanted him to play Aziraphale, and Michael was trying to find the way to break it to me that he did not want to play Crowley that he wanted to play Aziraphale having read the scripts. So it was an awful dinner until the end where we just like, 'Oh, you too?! Oh! Oh, good! Well I'm thinking of David Tennant, oh good you like him. Okay.' So it became a lot easier at that moment.
here are some drawings of the ever saucy Crowley (played by David Tennant) from my favorite tv-show to binge watch. This was from when I was contemplating my life choices as season one played in the background. We are truly blessed by S2’s turtle neck Crowley and some art of him may come soon!
Hi everyone! Here's a nonet (a type of poem where the syllable count starts at 9 per line and goes down to 1), which I wrote about Aziraphale and Crowley. Hope you guys will like it! 🩷🩷🩷
“What a pain in the ass you are. And it's true: you're not young, you're not new, and you do make people laugh. And me? I'm still with you because you make me laugh. So you know what I got to do? I got to sell my plot in Key Biscayne so I can get one next to you in that shithole Los Copa, so I never miss a laugh.” 😭😭😭
The original Crowley and Aziraphale ♥️
What does it matter? Take it all! I’m 50 years old, there’s only one place in the world I call home, and it’s because you’re there. So take it. What difference does it make if I say you can stay or you say I can stay. It’s ours.” ♥️
Would anyone like a snippet of the upcoming fic Detective!Michael x Psychopaths!David ? Remember when I complained they do not star in enough tv shows/films together so I decided to create one?
They always found the victim in a church.
Older woman, older man. Left at the altar, with their hands folded together in a prayer.
Their eyes gone, a knife that had to carefully remove them never found.
“She was very devoted.” The priest said quietly, standing by Michael. “Lovely woman. Always helped around here. Fantastic mother to her children, and a wife to…”
Younger woman.
“Right, yes.” Michael nodded. He brushed his short grey curls back from his forehead. He was exhausted, having spent the whole night working in the office only to be called to the church an hour after he fell asleep at his desk. It was early morning, the air still cold and fresh.
“Third victim, third church.” Michael’s colleague walked over. The body was being put in the bag, the place secured to not tarnish the evidence.
It was a tiny church in a fairly small village where everyone knew each other. Yet for a reason Michael did not understand, it had three churches, placed like a triangle over the village.
He did not believe in God.
Or Satan, actually, even if the people already started calling the murderer Lucifer.
Imagine Original Elias And Original Michael Met And Were Stoner Bros. Them Causing Pure Chaos At Work For Gertrude And Jonah Cause They Go “Oh They Are Just NEVER Gonna Fire Us Huh?
