starknightkirby asked:

Does the shoes that Crowley wore during the world war hurt him or did he get hurt by being nice and saving Aziraphale and the books?

this just in: local idiot wears size 10 even he has size 12, but at least the shoes look nice!


Okay, no, actually, it’s something different. It’s a mix of information you get both from the scene and the book. So on one hand, you have this in the series:

CROWLEY: Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow-ow-ow! Ow!

They all turn around. Crowley is walking down the aisle towards them, walking amazingly gingerly. He has nice snakeskin shoes, but is still walking like a man in bare feet on very hot sand.

CROWLEY (CONT’D): Sorry! Ow! Consecrated ground! It’s like being at the beach in bare feet.

Now, why would he walk like a man in bare feet? The answer to this is in the book:

Crowley had dark hair and good cheekbones and he was wearing snakeskin shoes, or at least presumably he was wearing shoes, and he could do really weird things with his tongue.

What do we get from this? Is Crowley wearing shoes in a church? No, he’s barefoot in a church and directly touching the consecrated ground with his feet-looking-like-shoes. And as we know (see: holy water) consecrated things hurt demons, some more than others.

And apparently, graveyard ground is the consecrated ground which hurts the least since Hastur and Ligur are lurking on it for quite a while in episode one.

Or maybe it doesnt hurt through shoes. We see Crowley hold the thermos of holy water with no pain in his hands. Therefore holyness is stopped by barriers. Crowley learned his lesson in the church and now wears actual shoes when he walks places like the graveyard.

Which I would love to see Aziraphale and other angels go ‘omgwtf’ when they see Crowley nonchalantly walking down a church aisle.

Once Crowley gets the idea to actually wear shoes he visits all the churches he was never able to before. He is such a tourist. He takes pictures and makes the latin go all mispelled as a joke.

One time he visited Notre Dame and…uh…well he went too far. It was an accident. BUT he saved the bees and the rose window.

I love the fics where Crowley must enter a church to save Aziraphale and its burning him. But SHOES AND GLOVES. Crowley is so clever. The angels are holding aziraphale in a church for bad reasons and Crowley saunters in in full hazmat gear for the rescue.

The demons, after the Apocalypse: Crowley, this is holy water, now please take a bath.

Crowley, while they have not figured out to bodyswitch:

tired: Aziraphale isn’t gay because he’s nonbinary

wired: Aziraphale IS gay because he’s still living in the 19th century and sees gender and sexuality as inextricably tied together

inspired: Aziraphale doesn’t know how to quantify his gayness when his partner keeps hoarding the genders and bouncing around them

Someone: Aren’t you gay?

Aziraphale, who presents masculine and uses he/him pronouns but has no particular attachment to gender, watching his spouse who is currently his wife superglue coins to the sidewalk: I have no idea how to answer that question.

HAHA good omens as long as he's happy with his partner demon
