Something I love from the book is that when Crowley traps Hastur in the answering machine, he genuinely considers taking the tape and leaving it in his car so that it turns into Queen.

He decides this is too cruel a fate. This is right after he has killed Ligur with a bucket of holy water. Agonisingly melting? That's cool, but becoming a Queen track is too far.

No but wait, this shows the brilliance of Crowley! And demonstrates why when pressed Neil Gaiman says that Crowley isn't nearly as bad as Heaven thinks but not nearly as good as he'd like us to believe. And it shows the wonderfulness of choice and what I like to call the Crowley Code.

You see, the bucket of water is no different than the apple and knowledge. It's a consequence to YOUR (Ligur's) action. Crowley has done nothing to guarantee the safety of Ligur and Hastur as they enter his domain. He has put a bucket of holy water on a door. If Ligur and Hastur have any reason to not trust him, they'll check for booby traps. If they don't check, that's on them. Crowley didn't toss a bucket of water on them. They walked under it. Sure he threatens with a mister, but it's a bluff. He could've filled that with holy water too. Enough to get the job done. But that would make his role active, and he doesn't actively murder or actively torture unlike his demonic counterparts are implied to do. He just asks questions and leads people to temptation (doom/demise)

Similarly, Hastur doesn't have to follow him in the telephone lines, but he does. And in doing so he gets trapped. But when given the choice on how to then deal with the tape, Crowley decides that HE isn't going to be responsible directly for doing harm to Hastur. So he doesn't.

This is mirrored in how he encourages Aziraphale to kill the antichrist, not him. Never Crowley pulling the trigger. It's against his very nature. He's not the do-er. His job is to lead folks to their undoing. Not to do it for them.

i think it's fascinating how crowley has never ever actually forced or even pressured aziraphale into anything.. like he knows exactly which buttons to push and how to well. tempt him but he's always playing a very careful game, knowing full well how far he's allowed to go and how far aziraphale wants to go. vs the entire confession scene where their whole dance goes out the window and he begs and pleads and kisses him because he's given up on the slow and safe games and it's all so desperate and uncalculated and human

Best of Neil's stage directions/commentary in the good omens s1 script book

I went back and read this to help me cope after s2, as one does

all the things currently haunting me about michael sheen:

his father, the jack nicholson impersonator so similar in appearance he sometimes played jack nicholson when jack nicholson didn’t show up to events

a scout trying to recruit him for the arsenal youth team and put him on a path to professional soccer

“i quit drama school because i had a breakdown over people thinking my turn as oedipus was just ok” like he was clearly making fun of himself but also what a wild way of putting that

he dated sarah FUCKING silverman for four years and they broke up because he wanted to return to the uk to do an activism after brexit and she didn’t want to abandon the states after tr*mp was elected

he namedropped neilman when he was defending genre fiction in a press interview for twilight and neilman sent him a box of first editions and took him out for the wildest sushi dinner i have ever heard of in my life and showed him a little compartment in his car and he was just like… randomly around for good omens adaptation negotiations as early as the terry gilliam days

i’m updating this post

gave up his life savings to fund the homeless world cup, a beautiful and noble gesture but in the context of the above like jesus christ of COURSE you’re actually that good you BASTARD

had his nametag switched with another baby at the hospital, was originally going to be christopher but the nametag said michael and his parents went with it, is probably the antichrist

tiger-in-the-flightdeck

Went through a serious Goth Phase in his young adulthood and once went on a car trip in the American desert while wearing head to toe leather

Is still very good friends with his ex-partner Kate Beckinsale and visits regularly and spends holidays with her

Their daughter calls him The Sneeby

When their daughter was accepted into college he burst into tears

Insists that nearly all of the characters he’s played over the years are either gay or bi and plays them that way intentionally

Became great friends with Craig Ferguson and their interviews nearly always dissolved into flirtation. He had a running gag about wanting to replace the skeleton puppet as the sidekick

Brags about his first sex scene being with Stephen Fry and is very disappointed that most of it was cut from the film

Doesn’t know how to peel an onion
