Hell: are consorting with an Angel?
Crowley: yes? Are all you slackers not out there seducing any Angels? You got no game, is that it Hastur? You hating on me because you can’t get any Angel to feel an ounce of Temptation? Tell me, how’s it feel to be so unsexy you try and make one of my greatest demonic acts look traitorous?
to me, the big divergence between book omens and tv omens in regards to aziraphale and crowley’s relationship is this
tv omens: 6000 years of pining, nerds who can’t communicate but everyone knows they’re in love anyway, paranoid about their respective sides finding out, fuel for a billion confession fics that are all amazing ngl
book omens: have been married since 4003 BC and get married again every couple of centuries for the sake of aesthetic, knows no one is watching them so they take every opportunity to be incredibly married-for-a-million-years in public

yall are so fucked with your cancel culture shit. and i dont mean like the james charles and pewdiepie and projared drama or anything like that.
i mean when yall bring up shit from 5+ years ago that people never had repeat offenses on after they immediately apologized after being told they were in the wrong.
you seem to forget people grow and change over time. you seem to forget switching your opinions and growing and doing better and becoming a better person is part of being human, part of being a person. like, not to be that guy but a year ago i was an aphobic transmed. am i now? hell no, because i grew up and realized i was in the wrong and changed.
holy shit. people are humans. dont fucking idolize them and rip them apart when you dig up shit they said 5+ years ago that they have never done since. dont place people on pedestals and expect them to be flawless. nobody is. and this isnt even about violent racism, transphobia/homophobia, or predatory behavior either so dont try to twist my words.
OK HEAR ME OUT:
We all know the Light Fury is a potential mate for Toothless and all the 'Hiccup-teaches-Toothless-to-flirt' thing will happen, but what he doesn't have to because of Grimdel.
Maybe he force the Light Fury to lure Toothless away from Hiccup. He did this so he can repopulate the species but have them to himself, to have an army of Night and Light Furies attack on his command.
And that's when Hiccup and the gang comes in, we still have those Hiccstrid moments and other ones, they will help Toothless AND the Light Fury out of Grimdel grasp.
And the final part is when Toothless make his decision if he wants to stay with Hiccup or with Light. And he did make his decision, by convincing the Light Fury to stat with them. If she agreed that's a win win; If not... then... booo😂😂 BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY...

Michael Sheen Massive Praise Post
I don’t think I have ever actually expressed how much I do appreciate this guy so now it’s high time to do so!
We all agree that Sheen was great as Aziraphale, but it’s still mainly David Tennant to have his own fanvids with Crowley alone and not Michael (nearly no Aziraphale alone fanvids there!). Much as I love their characters as a couple, I’d love to have some sort of POV of each of them as well, but all I have is a lot of Crowley (at least when it comes to fanvids).
Is Aziraphale less interesting because he’s an angel? Well, I think fanbase generally prefers Crowley. Like, we love both, they’re inseparable and there’s usually loads of both of them as one, but if you have to choose just one… Well, I think, it’d be Crowley, not Aziraphale to be chosen by most of fans. Aziraphale is not the dramatic good demon. He’s a bastard who thinks he knows best what’s Right and what’s Wrong or rather he pretends to know. Such a hypocrite! Sure, he’s changing slowly, his certainty is really just a fasade, he’s good at heart and so on, but Crowley is the one we would agree with and sympathize with in the first place. Most of us, at least.
Considering it all, Michael Sheen deserves even more credit for his portrayal of Aziraphale because he managed to make this character as interesting, as lovable as Crowley in fandom’s eyes. I think Aziraphale as a role is way harder to portray than Crowley. And he succeed anyway! It’s pretty obvious here, on Tumblr that Sheen as Aziraphale stole fanbase’s heart. My thoughts are based solely on observation of Good Omens fans here. Of course, you can disagree. I may be wrong. Only idiots think they’re totally right. ;)
I’m so happy to see that on Tumblr Michael Sheen is appreciated properly by the fanbase of GO, but anywhere else, I guess, it's DT mainly. Don’t get me wrong, I love DT, he’s my favourite actor, actually, but it’s just so sad that Michael Sheen, fantastic, outstanding actor, the one who’s so great when it comes to interacting with fans, so supportive of fan activities and stuff, has no great fanbase on his own. Like popculture, various, huge fanbase, focused on him only, not just on this one single role in Good Omens.
I blame it on the fact that Michael was not in many popculture, high quality productions and there’s a lot of him being just supporting character, not the main one. DT has Doctor Who, Jessica Jones, Good Omens, Broadchurch… Michael Sheen, on the other hand, has… Twilight. I don’t wish to insult Twilight fans, but still we do need more of Michael Sheen in things like Good Omens. Otherwise, no huge, proper Michael Sheen popculture fanbase can be formed.
I myself saw him in so many productions and just didn’t remember him in any of them. But then Good Omens was announced and I started doing some research on him and I found out I knew him already! I just… didn’t remember him! Mostly because those productions he was in were not my jam or he was just supporting character in them. It’s a real shame!
But it could be so much better, even without new, main roles in things similar to, let’s say, Doctor Who.
I mean, for example, we have Bright Young Things. Great idea to make a movie, great cast, mostly, but result’s a bit dull. How much better that movie could be if Miles (Michael Sheen) was its main character! With that queer, dramatic, camp acting I love so much? The movie could be awesome! Not to say… GAY RIGHTS! It’d be fantastic production, a bit absurd, a bit sad about queer people in 20s with queer main character struggling with his identity!
Same goes to Passengers. Just a normal movie, nothing special (it is so for me, you can disagree), but imagine the very same movie from the perspective of Arthur (Michael Sheen), an android, who observes the couple, learns watching them. If we could also have some witty narration to it (much like God in Good Omens) it’d be great, wouldn’t it? Instead of that boring couple on a spaceship plot, we could have android observing the human couple, changing thanks to them, while having all sorts of identity issues.
But we don’t have it, unfortunately.
My point in this chaotic praise post is that Michael Sheen is intriguing actor and he needs more recognition. And that’s my point!
Oh, but what do I love about his acting so much? His acting style is so very emotional, a bit dramatic, camp even (I do love camp aesthetics, by the way), queer-like. He has very expressive eyes and elegant smiles, those tiny twitches and graceful or, on the contrary, nervous gestures. It all makes you think, while watching him, that there’s some buzzing energy inside him, some constantly changing flow of thoughts and emotions. He reflects them so well, even those slight shifts, shadows of thoughts on his features. You can actually read the character he’s portraying without him even speaking. All it takes to understand the character here is just watching his body language! Oh, and his voice! Such a nice voice to hear; soothing, low, but not too low and I love his ability to make it slightly higher than it is or lower and a little bit harsh. His manner of speaking is also pretty elegant, clear and easy to understand for me as a non-native speaker. It probably means that his way of spelling words is super correct or something.
He’s certainly too good to be supporting character or acting in low quality stuff. There’s not enough of him being the main character and in good stuff.
Yes, that’s my point! :)
We all joke a lot about Anthony Janthony Crowley (and I love it), but I also really like the theory that the J refers to his old name, his name as an angel.
So I researched some angels who have names beginning with J.
And I found Jophiel.
While most of his description doesn’t really fit Crowley, there is one thing that just blew my mind.
But before I tell you, remember: The first time Aziraphale and Crowley met was on the wall of the garden of Eden. And they don’t just run into each other by accident, Crowley deliberately slithered up to the angel.
And I thought about this a lot. Why did Crowley approach Aziraphale? He just tempted Eve and Adam and should expect any angel to be furious with him, and even if you forget about that, he’s a demon, for god’s, for satan’s, for somebody’s sake, why is he so eager to start a conversation with an angel? And as they talk, one of the first things he brings up is Aziraphales flaming sword. It’s a little out of the blue if you ask me, why is he so interested in the sword? Well, let me finally tell you what was so mindblowing for me about Jophiel:
So why is Crowley approaching Aziraphale? Because maybe he knew that this angel was assigned the sword that used to be his.
That’s why he almost immediately brings it up, that’s the reason he wanted to meet Aziraphale, despite the risk of approaching an angel. I also like to mention that he is rather serious and critical, when he starts questioning Aziraphale.
Maybe he’s even afraid of how someone else might use it, after all we know that Crowley isn’t a fan of God “testing” and punishing the humans.
That’s why he is so delighted when he hears that Aziraphale actually gave it to the humans.
He’s surprised and amused here, but I can’t help but think that he is relieved as well. Because now he knows that his old sword isn’t in the hands of an angel who is eager to smite the humans. A lot of fans think that Crowley fell in love with Aziraphale because the angel gave his sword to the humans, and if it truely belonged to Crowley in the past, it makes this moment even more meaningful. I know it’s just a theory, but I just love how this connection would deepen their bond even further. So yeah. Anthony Jophiel Crowley.
GAY RIGHTS!
