Just finished Good Omens - if you have a free afternoon, watch it. It’s very very well done. Of coarse, I’ve never read the book, but from a fresh perspective it’s quite wonderful. The costume/set design, as well as cinematography was also pretty choice. There was also a wonderful lack of white washing

Also fuck the tv show for making ligur and dagon and the unnamed demons with the eyelashes so attractive. I’m so angry

i don’t think i’ve seen any kind of tumblr analysis that so far does justice to the face journey crowley goes through when he first meets aziraphale and finds out about the sword.

for context’s sake, this is how he reacts when he finds out aziraphale’s got rid of his own sword:

see that? that’s surprise, that’s unexpectedly-impressed, that’s holy-shit-this-is-an-angel-fucking-up-this-delights me. this is is this a rebellion? can angels rebel? i love it, five minutes on this strange green-and-blue rock and i’ve already found a playmate.

then compare with this, which is crowley hearing aziraphale explain why he ‘rebelled’ by giving away said sword: to whit, freezing cold, dangerous animals, pregnant woman:

that’s…dare i say it, tender? soft? certainly no less surprised but unexplicably, unexpectedly, touched. you can almost see the little flinch he experiences from that not-so-subtle heartflip that has just occurred. oh. oh. he didn’t lose his sword because he’s a brainless angel, or because he wanted to cause some trouble or stick it to the almighty he was just…being nice.

like, whatever reason the forces of hell had for rebelling, they sure as hell didn’t do it for nice reasons. i’m pretty certain, judging by the hell we see onscreen, that compassion features pretty heavily Down There. (nor, judging by the likes of gabriel or sandalphon, can i imagine angels are exactly known for their compassion amongst their demonic counterparts). crowley has come to earth expecting exactly 0% heartstrings-pulling, and then within the first half hour he meets this fluffy soft boi who smiles rather shyly even when he’s not supposed to and is painfully loyal to his boss even when he doesn’t understand Her ways and then does something daft like that, like giving away a heavenly flaming sword to a human for no other reason other than it’s a kind thing to do

and he’s an angel, they’re not supposed to do the wrong thing for the right reason, they’re sticklers, and yet look at what he’s just done…

and the next thing you know, crowley’s falling harder and faster than the day lucifer and the guys rocked up and asked ‘hey crawley, you up to anything today?’. and that is glorious.

leighremyalexander asked:

I'm sure you are super swamped with messages but I wanted to write you that reading "Good Omens" was the only reason I passed Intro to English Literature from beginning to 1745. Our final was to write an essay on "Paradise Lost". I used the thesis that Lucifer could not be evil if it was already known that he would fall as stated in the epic, and a bunch of other BS I made up about free will. I never would have thought of it without the "Ineffable Plan". So thank you so very much for that.

You are so welcome!

emilyelizabethfowl asked:

hi! wikipedia says you've played a role in Good Omens as an actor, but doesn't include what it was like it did with other such cases. Is it just an error? I can't find anything on it online. If it's true, whom did you play?

I was a sleeping man in a cinema and the voice of three bunny rabbits.
