See you in 1977

It is literally impossible to pick a favorite line from this because the entire thing is gold. 

I get lost thinking about the journey Crowley makes from Eden to the Apocalypse. I completely adore pre-Flood Crawly, the way that he’s still gleeful and curious about the world. He’s such a wily mischief fluff.

In praise of terrific and deliberate costume design: I can’t believe it took me this long to notice the way he gradually covers up his eyes more and more. After the Flood, she has her head covered. The next time we see him, post-Crucifixion, the sunglasses have arrived. And the specs get progressively larger over time, hiding more and more.

(I particularly love the L-shaped lenses in 1862.)

By the time we reach the Apocalypse, the glasses are opaque and completely closed off. Solid, armored protection on all sides.

(I know I didn’t catch every era, don’t @ me, tumblr gif search is the worst and the general progression seems fairly obvious, especially because of where it ends.)

You can see the progression on Crowley’s face too, of course. Watching Humans being Humans for so long starts to get to a demon. The glasses have to be impenetrable when this is where time and the Ineffable Plan have brought you.

(Got to be careful who gets to see you with the glasses off.)

(Got to have a whole glove box filled with extras so as never to be caught without them.)

There is something carefree about Crowley’s very first park bench scene with Aziraphale, in ep1. But it’s such a different kind of carefree than we used to see before the Flood. It’s world-weary, resigned, cool. He’s seen it all and he knows how the game is played.

This contrast, to me, is so perfect: he’s still Crowley. He’s just been around the block a few times by now.

And even after all of this, he wants to save the world.

It is amazing, especially how we see an immortal creature ‘mature’ in a way over the millennia. Just because they don’t age like we do, doesn’t mean they don’t grow as people.

Also, by the time we get to modern day, Crowley is only seen without sunglasses in 3 different settings:

1) when he’s at home by himself

2) when the glasses are destroyed/forcibly removed (I could rant for days about how horrible Hastur is for doing this)

3) the one time he willingly takes off his glasses while in full view of another person: in the bookshop with Aziraphale

tl;dr Crowley’s sunglasses are his emotional guardrails and he only chooses to be vulnerable around his angel, also please call an ambulance because I am DEAD

YES. I mean, both of them change in many ways, to be fair, but Crowley’s is more evident for many reasons– he’s more accustomed to being let down, to change opinion, for a start, and in the tv show Aziraphale is the stubbornly optimist of the two (also he doesn’t let his disappointment show).

Anyway, I find the concept of maturing for immortal beings so fascinating. We don’t really know how old they were when they met (was time even a concept at all?), but there is an innocence to both of them in the beginning, a sort of ingenuity from being out there in the world for the first time, that’s really not that far from the concept of youth.

Look at them chatting with the enemy. Do they even know that’s not allowed?

And I maintain that it’s no coincidence that Crowley’s making his first baby steps here, metaphorically and literally.

okokok I absolutely love all that you said, but that last bit just slapped me up the side of the head because if this is the first time Crowley’s been in a physical earthly form, and he was at first a snake and then transformed into a human-shape next to Aziraphale, walking under Aziraphale’s wing was literally his first steps he ever took and I just

I just. I gotta lie down. Holy shit.

The first steps little Crowley ever took, and it was towards Aziraphale

GODDAMNIT GOOD OMENS, YOU’RE ONLY SIX EPISODES LONG AND YOU KEEP MAKING ME FEEL NEW FEELS TWO YEARS LATER

The thing is, adding experiences that shape who you are, that’s most of what growing up is. Sure, for us mortals there’s also the biological development of the brain itself allowing for greater complexity and storage capacity and emotional control. They didn’t have to go through that; they’re mature-brained from the start. But they aren’t omniscient. They learn, they have emotional reactions to what they learn, and it shapes them. So it’s not surprising that the first time we see them, they have adult mental capacity but a child-like innocence and confusion about the world. They may have been around for untold millennia beforehand, but the world is new, and their being placed in it is an emergence into a completely new and complex environment - which is very much akin to being born, really. Until now their reality has been just Heaven or Hell (both, in Crowley’s case), with all the surreality that entails. Their adjacent-to-mortal existences have only just begun. So here they stand on the wall, discussing the whole baffling situation as middle-aged newborns.

(And since Crowley is newly arrived on Earth, and he only appears to shift into humanoid form to chat up the angel on the wall, it’s a logical conclusion that those might well be his first steps in a physical body. And he uses them to shuffle closer to The Enemy for protection. I think we all need to lie down.)

Misha's inner Cas: mine (x)

follow up: aziraphale introduces crowley to people as his sweetheart

aziraphale: and this is anthony, my sweetheart

crowley: i’m sorry, your what?

aziraphale: my sweetheart. you don’t like it?

crowley, tearing up: no it’s……………..fine

Crowley, choking back tears: I’ll get used to it. 

Voice of God: Crowley never does get used to it. In fact, every time Aziraphale uses the word, Crowley is reminded that he has something no other demon in the history of the Universe has ever had: an angel who loves him.
