✨️ crowley's fall ✨️
TW: blood, body horror!!
assorted things from go1 and 2 and internet that I think should become relevant again in go3 and random musings:
the further prophecies than anathema and newt burned (bro what did agnes know)
1941 p3 (i'm a firm believer that they almost kissed and azi panicked.)
also 1941 p3 but it's the nazi zombies
uriel being hesitant to destroy maggie and nina (I saw a meta abt their loyalties shifting after gabriel left, couldn't find it again but interesting)
michael trying to grab as much power as she can
michael having some sort of back channel into hell (who was it she called?)
where adam and the them went (are they just hanging out? he's gotta be relevant but he's not the antichrist anymore? but theres a chance of *some* power still- bush burning in 1.06)
4 horsemen.
where tf is god
"some of the lesser demons have been put on half rations" excuse me sir what the fuck is being rationed? (miracles? who killed god istg)
why is hell so understaffed they apparently had 10 million for armageddon't
"what... Heaven and hell... against... humanity?" (oop let's go)
give me fucking nightingales pls and ty
South downs cottage pls (starts and ends in a garden. ending garden st james from s1 or south downs garden in s3? is south downs even a thing or were we just supremely gaslit?)
a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square- they used the 1st verse in s1, 2nd in s2, and the third (most romantic imo) should (pls) be used in s3?
crowleys inconsistent fall narrative
who crowley remembers from heaven
does azi remember heaven before the fall?
what if anathema got pregnant when she did it with newt in s1
does crowley ever catch on to azi painting everything *that* shade of yellow?
the letter azi wrote in the lockdown video
will jesus recognize crowley from when crow showed him the wonders of the world?
add more!
aurora - dangerous thing
Crowley knew. From the moment they met, he knew that Aziraphale was a dangerous thing. Dangerous in his devotion. Dangerous in his hope. Dangerous in his love for a heaven that, in the end, would not love him back. And yet... Crowley couldn't help himself. Because there is no end to the fall.

He was the most beautiful angel in Heaven. The closest to God. The one with whom God was confronted daily. He could have been called his right-hand man. Yet, Raziel now found him strangely disturbing.
Guess who are we talking about? 😏 Chapter 12 is here for you!
Love this pic by @corkskew
Do you guys think if they showed a flashback of how crowley falls in s3 would ot be pkaying dont stop me now by queen
"oh yeah I'm thriugh the sky, yeah
two hundred degrees thats why they call me mr farenheit
I'm travelling st the speed of light"
sounds likely as its crowley and queen and the lryics seem to match up
tell me your thoguhts on this
Crowley sauntering vaguely downwards
aziracrowifying from eden by hozier: the master post
I know that everyone azirocrows from eden because duh but stay with me okay. because I think there's a cool interpretation that isn't so much about crowley longing for aza(there's still plenty of longing) it's more about crowley seeing himself and his situation in aza/aza's situation and reflecting on his fall/situation and how that is reflected in aza's. basically cool parrallels and crowley hating the system and loving aziraphale. let's go lyric by lyric shall we
Babe There's something tragic about you Something so magic about you Don't you agree?
pretty basic stuff here. I think crowley see aziraphale as uniquely moral, just the epitome of everything right and good. now crowley has magic for all intents and purposes, but aziraphale he is true magic, the strength of aza's morals is something he can barely comprehend to the extent that it becomes magical. especially in the context of heaven, a heaven that doesn't share aziraphale's moral fiber. and even in the context of that aziraphale manages to be so good. he thinks it's so magical. and he equally thinks it's tragic because aziraphale should be the standard for good, aziraphale is the only real good thing and he has to exist in heaven. and the don't you agree, in the plot of the song, I like to imagine this being the early stages of crowley appealing to aziraphale to be friends. he asks aza if they can be agreed on his assessment of aziraphale's relationship with heaven.
Babe There's something lonesome about you Something so wholesome about you Get closer to me
as time goes marching forward and aziraphale finds that he does agree with crowley, crowley gets to discover so much more about aza. he discovers how lonely aziraphale is in heaven and he discovers how obscenely adorable aza is(just crowley falling in love with aziraphale and his magic and his books and his food and and and). Crowley finds himself urging aziraphale closer. for a few moments even he can't tell what his intentions are. does he just want aza to be less lonely? does he want to tempt aza toward evil? does he want to purify himself? does he just want to be less lonely? does he just want to be closer to aziraphale? perhaps it's a little bit of all of them. regardless his surprise when aziraphale does get closer to him and he gets to discover even more about him is pleasant but still strong
No tired sighs, no rolling eyes, no irony No 'who cares', no vacant stares, no time for me
crowley has seen so many tired sighs, rolling eyes, and examples of irony from heaven. but the closer he gets to aza, the more he discovers that aziraphale distinctly lacks them. those gabriel qualities that are holy in heaven, aza entirely rejects. but that doesn't mean he has qualities of the other side. the 'who care' nature of demons, the vacant stares he gets constantly down below, the time that beelzebub will make for crowley's nonsense. all of these things, aziraphale doesn't have. he cares so much, he only ever looks at things intently, and crowley has to be on his best behaviour around aziraphale or he gets really disappointed. crowley is falling so far in love with this angel. because aziraphale isn't a side, aziraphale defies sides and is so good. crowley can't stay away.
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
what crowley finds truly remarkable about this angel that the more he knows, the more his life becomes better. because the angel is so familiar, a version of himself that he had once wanted to be, a view in the mirror thousands of years prior. crowley isn't that person anymore. his idealism is now imprisoned in this demon body where it can't be expressed. the chivalry he wants to act upon for aziraphale, it's fallen, fallen on it's own sword. his innocence died screaming all the way down to the basement. but this angel that can express the idealism, that can be chivalrous, that maintains innocence in the face of everything, he feels familiar to crowley because at some point thats where crowley thought he would be, that's the reflection he had hoped to see in the mirror. so now he slithers all the way from Eden, just to sit outside aza's door and pretend that the window he peeks through is a mirror.
Babe There's something wretched about this Something so precious about this Where to begin?
this relationship their forging, that they each fight for everyday in tiny ways, they see it in different ways. aziraphale views it as something so precious, something that he would rearrange the cosmos for. and while crowley also loves and values the relationship, he would firstly describe it as wretched. he's a demon after all, he's down with the wretched. aziraphale doesn't see it that way and trying to explain it to him is always a struggle. when crowley attempts he doesn't even know where to even begin (((author brainrot interjection: IT BEGINS AS IT WILL END IN A GARDEN anyways back to out regularly scheduled programming)))
Babe There's something broken about this But I might be hoping about this Oh, what a sin
he begins before his fall, back when he still had idealism and chivalry and innocence. he knew even then that something was broken with this system, he had questions about it, he had suggestions. and more importantly, he had hope. he had hope that people would answer his questions, they would listen to his suggestions, they would understand where he was coming from, they would want the same thing that he did for the system, to make it better. but to suggest or ask a question that said the system is broken, that was a sin.
To the strand a picnic plan for you and me A rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree
for the angels who didn't have questions, god would have picnics and all good things. but for god's other men like crowley who had questions, god handed them the rope to hang themselves and make their way downstairs.
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
so yes, aziraphale is familiar, aziraphale feels like that angel that crowley almost was. and as he sees this idealism imprisoned in heaven, as he watches the other angels pushing aziraphale onto his own sword like a vampire on a stake, and bears witness to this pure good being ostracized by the people who are supposed to be the good ones, he kills the last bits of innocence in his soul, he loses any hope he had for the system, he burns it all to the ground, he leaves eden, he just slithers to aziraphale's door and sits there
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know I slithered here from Eden just to hide outside your door
bonus aziraphale pov: as stupid as it sounds, aziraphale also sees himself in crowley. crowley is idealistic and chivalrous and though crowley never sees it, aziraphale loves the innocent parts of crowley. the way crowley takes care of his plants, the way his car is so important to him, the way his appearance takes up a significant part of his brain. aziraphale has lost care for the system as time went on. the innocent urge to make sure people are seeing what they wish to see, he left that behind a while ago. now all he has is the selfish want to do good. because aziraphale doesn't do good for other people, he does it singularly for himself because he makes him feel good. when he sees crowley, who cares so deeply about right and wrong as ideals, he sees a part of him in the past. the part of him that had tried so hard to be the angel god wanted him to be. so aziraphale sees crowley's idealism imprisoned in this demonic form because the system didn't let him express it. he sees a system that pushed crowley onto his own sword. he looks at crowley and he still sees that childlike innocence in his faith in objective good that's separate from god. that innocence that aza once had died screaming a long time ago. when aziraphale goes to see crowley, he feels a little bit like he's slithering, that he's really the snake coming from eden to tempt crowley so he hides outside crowley's door.
