I wish they had shot this scene where Crowley regrets scolding Aziraphale and pours him a cup of wine. 🍷🦪

Hello! Ive been searching for a fic that has the book, tv, and radio Aziraphale's all as brothers and Crowley also has a matching set of little siblings. All of them are different ages (book boys eldest, then radio then tv) and around school/ daycare age. God is also the mother to all of the Azriaphales and is away on a trip(?) (Maybe work?) so book Aziraphale is helping the house stay together. The book Crowley is a tattoo artist. (Probably)

I dont think it was very long fic and i think it had fan art.

Thank you!!! Have a good day!!

Hi! The only thing I can find similar to this description is a comic...

Four of A Kind AU (Art-work) by CatofApocalypse & Shae_C (T)

Good Omens: Four of a Kind AU ------------ What if all versions of Crowleys are siblings? (Same for Aziraphale)

Do any of our followers know the fic anon is looking for?

There is exactly one (1) good thing in the Good Omens Movie Script and it is this.

[whispsofwind]

Now that the post about Radio Omens the other day reminded me, I keep coming back to how much Good Omens fascinates me in terms of the adaptation process.

This may sound silly, but having the book, and then the radio drama, the tv show, and the tv show script, I find myself comparing the different choices made in each version. Between radio and tv show especially: it's incredibly interesting to me, to see how the same book was adapted. I would call both versions faithful to the original, but they're still different.

Like, the simplest example, and the one I often come back to in my mind, is that first scene when Crowley is driving the Bentley, going towards the graveyard.

This is a pretty important scene, being the one that reintroduces Crowley to us after 6000 years have passed. It's the scene where we learn what he has become.

So, in the book we are told about the M25, establishing how Crowley works on Earth. We are introduced to the Bentley, to Queen, the over-the-top wristwatch, to Crowley's hate for the 14th Century, and we are given a short physical description. Most interestingly, the scene ends implying that Crowley did something to a couple of policemen who were chasing him, but we aren't told what.

Jump forward to the radio adaptation in 2014. They give us basically the same scene as the book: a lot of things are adapted word for word. However, two big differences are there: one, now Crowley is telling us about the M25, the Bentley, everything; he's basically boasting about it, while in the book it was mostly narration. And second, he murders the policemen (Terry and Neil, nooooo): their car comes alive and eats them.

This to me is possibly the biggest change in the Radio drama: Crowley in this version is a character who occasionally murders people just because he's in the mood for it. Him boasting is a necessity of the new media, him killing the policemen is an adaptation choice.

Jump forward again, and we have the TV show. The TV show decided to cut this scene completely: we get only a glimpse of the Bentley and a few notes of Queen before moving along to the awkward meeting with Hastur and Ligur. I think this was a good choice, because the first episode of the miniseries already jumps from one location to another as it is.

(I think the book was more effective in making you think Crowley is cool for a few paragraphs, while in the show we immediately jump to Crowley nodding along with "Glorious. Tool. Yeah". But I'm not complaining).

But the really interesting thing to me is that the scene is in the script book. It was just never filmed -if I understood it correctly, at some point we were supposed to meet Crowley while he's messing with the telephones, a scene that was filmed; then we would follow him to his car, have the chase scene, and then move along to the meeting at the graveyard.

Anyway, the scene is there, and Crowley this time doesn't kill the policemen: he turns their engine into a pile of wriggling mice. I consider this closer to the characterization Crowley has in the book: someone who, when given the choice between violence and a prank, will choose a prank.

And while a cut scene that wasn't even filmed isn't technically canon to a show, knowing that Crowley was written with this characterization in mind is, to me, still relevant.

I think I already wrote about this, but it's such an interesting look in how adaptations work, what gets cut, what gets adapted, and how it gets adapted.

I have to say, I've become a lot less anal about adaptation fidelity as I grow older and learn more about the process, and the limitations of each form of entertainment. But the process itself is still so interesting to me.

In 2013, Amy Hoff was authorized by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett to stage a theatre play adaptation of Good Omens for the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, along with her company the Cult Classic Theatre. Amy Hoff’s website mentions that GO is currently unavailable for stage production or adaptation. As far as I know, these pics above are the only ones that exist to remember this play by, and I’ve never heard of any recording or footage of any sort for it, nor do I think the script is available, which is a terrible shame. I made this post because I was completely unable to find what I had originally seen online ages ago, and I thought it’d be a good idea to gather everything in one place again.

I made this for myself because 1992 script Crowley is a poltergeist personally giving me night terrors

I'm seeing a few posts about how all the other Crowleys would react to movie!Crowley and how horrified they would be and that's good shit but y'all are sleeping on how the AZIRAPHALES would react to movie!Crowley. You think book!Aziraphale would put up with his shit? Think again. He'll get one word out and find himself locked in a closet that wasn't there before stuck in a devil's trap bc book!Aziraphale Does Not Have Time For This Shit
