Crowley: When you said you were "magical in bed" this isn't what I-
Aziraphale: *holds up 8 of Hearts card* Is this your card?
Crowley: *softly* Holy shit.

Oh god oh god so that fake married post? It’s like 10k in a word file right now. I’m plowing my way through my actual work work so I can work on it in the evenings cause this is a Thing I have mapped out with chapters and I’m having SO much fun with it.
Here let me see if I can find something for Religious Studies teacher Crowley….
“Right,” the demon said, underscoring the subject line on the white board with an embellished flourish as he spun back round to survey the classroom, “who can tell me the four cardinal virtues? Anyone? No? Really? Good grief, all right, can anyone tell me what they think a virtue is?”
Pepper’s hand shot up.
“Yes Ms Moonchild?”
“Do you mean what we actually think they are, or what you think we should think they are?”
Crowley felt the corner of his mouth crook up. He had a feeling this was going to be a lot more fun than he’d initially bargained for.
“Why don’t you tell me both?”

“Sir?” Adam’s hand shot up again, and Crowley very nearly took his glasses off to rub at his eyes. He was starting to understand where the All Mighty had been coming from. The boy was supposed to be in detention, not using it as an excuse to use Crowley like his own personal magic 8 ball for the mysteries of the universe.
“Yes, Mister Young, what is it now?”
“Is selfishness always a sin?”
Crowley looked up at that, taken aback. “I fully suspect that depends on who you ask.”
“I’m asking you,” Adam said, and Crowley was again hit with that note of authority, the persuasive undertone that pulled at the thoughts like a riptide in unsuspecting waters, the weight of the universe pressing down on him as reality morphed to conform to the boy’s will, dragging him along for the ride. He didn’t even know he was doing it, that was the truly remarkable thing. All that power! All that ability! Harnessed by the innocence of a child.
“No,” Crowley answered honestly, “I don’t believe it is. I think sometimes you can do the right thing for very selfish reasons. And if God thinks that’s a sin well…that’s their problem.”
“Until you get to the pearly gates,” Brian piped up cheerfuly, despite the swelling of his split lip, “then it’s your problem.”
“Oh no,” Crowley laughed, pushing his glasses further up his nose as he turned back to the notebook he was supposed to be marking and not doodling on. “Believe you me, if I ever wind up there, it’s still definitely going to be very much their problem. Now, we’re going to play a game, it’s called “shut it and do your homework or you’ll have detention again tomorrow”, got it? Good.”
to be fair, it only took him 6000 years
this scene bRokE me okay
You know what Good Omens does NOT get enough credit for? How it never, not once, makes gender presentation the butt of a joke.
Crowley presenting as female to be Warlock’s Nanny? The way this was filmed, acted, and written wasn’t made to be funny whatsoever. She was stunning, I loved the hat!
Pollution using they/them pronouns while the postman used the gender neutral honorific of sir for them? What’s there to make fun of? They’re royalty.
Archangel Michael, who has a traditionally male name, played by a female actress? Never questioned.
Lord Beelzebub’s androgyny? Only respect for the Lord of Hell.
Aziraphale sharing Madame Tracy’s body? Crowley recognized his angel and accepted it no problem. He was right about the dress too, it did suit him!
Crowley’s pure, unfiltered non-binary/gender-fluid energy in general? Fucking fabulous. Who could seriously make fun of this demon’s style? As someone once pointed out to me, you could swap him with Tilda Swinton and I’d see no difference. What an icon.
Good Omens is the first big show I’ve seen to basically avoid transphobia all together when the opportunity presented itself, and even say fuck you to the gender binary as a bonus. If the biggest binary in all the universe, Heaven and Hell, don’t give a damn about it then why should you?
just learned that the word “ferret” is derived from the Latin word furittus meaning “LITTLE THIEF” and that a group of ferrets is called a BUSINESS and i am absolutely pleased with this new knowledge
I am enriched by this knowledge, thank you
Ah yes. Minotaur. The first cowboy.
I said this to my girlfriend and she just started listing synonyms for ‘bad’ at me.
