Doing the "undress the character" challenge on Instagram with this fine specimen ;p

No matter of we love her or hate her, she'll get chopped into pieces
A "draw this in your style" piece that took me a few hours to make. I still don't love the way Aziraphale looks -_- I need to work on him more. Anyway the artist who made the original piece is "pampd_illustrations" on Instagram! She is currently making a whole comic where Crowley is a merman and Aziraphale is a sailor! Please go check her out . She just reached 5k followers, let's give her a WAHOO! đđ¤đ
Like the devil and the holy water đ¤đ
How long it took me to draw this? Better not to speculate. But I love how it turned out đ
I also want to add that Crowley, before he got his Bentley, had to use black horses and he used to fall off of them because "he is not good with animals"
There have already been some good posts highlighting trivia and changes between the book and show (a couple are here and here) so I thought Iâd add in some more that might be useful and havenât been overdone yet. Ones I think are most helpful are bolded!
Crowley can see in the dark (because heâs a demon, not because heâs a snake)
Crowley does eat (and notes that sleeping is enjoyable after a heavy meal), but on at least one canonical occasion Aziraphale takes Crowleyâs portion of food for himself (angel food cake, to be exact, and he does it without needing to ask) so infer what you will about how we never see Crowley with food in the show
Crowley does read, or at the very least it mentions him attempting to calm his nerves by reading a novel
Aziraphale learned magic when he took a class in the 1870s taught by famous stage magician John Maskelyne
Aziraphale takes his tea without sugar
Crowley does not like to shapeshift, because he is afraid heâll forget how to turn backÂ
Itâs not terribly clear but somewhat implied that Nanny Ashtoreth and Brother Francis were NOT Crowley and Aziraphale (they reference a âteamâ working for them) but that the two did exchange and compare notes on Warlockâs progress frequently. So thank Neil and Co. for the screenplay choices. Additionally, Brother Francis never actually did any real gardening, he just miracled everything to look perfect
When Warlock was 6 years old, nanny and gardener left and were replaced by two tutors, Mr. Harrison (evil) and Mr. Cortese (good)
Aziraphale will employ any means âshort of actual physical violenceâ to discourage customers in his bookshop, including unpleasant damp odors and glowering looks to anyone who walks in
That clunky watch Crowley wears was custom-made to have the time in 20 world capitals as well as the time in Hell, which was always âToo Lateâ, and whose battery burned out years ago but he never noticed so it kept working
In 1653 Aziraphale added his own annotations to the proof sheets of a Bible published by Bilton & Scaggs Publishing (the same as who published the Nice and Accurate Prophecies), adding a bit about losing his flaming sword (basically the dialogue in the scene of the series where God confronts him at the gate in episode 3), and is now known as the Bugger Alle This Bible, one of a special collection of misprinted Bibles Aziraphale is proud to own
Aziraphale does watch films. This includes one documentary about gorillas making nests. He also makes an Exorcist reference.
For 6000 years Aziraphale thought dolphins were fish
Crowley watched Mary Poppins on TV at Christmas one year
Aziraphale buys his clothes, while Crowley manifests them
Anathema refers to Crowley and Aziraphale as âtwo consenting cycle repairmenâ :)
Anathemaâs bicycle is named Phaeton
Aziraphaleâs bookshop is situated directly next to another bookshop called âIntimate Booksâ and he occasionally gets confused customers that wrongly come into his shop
Anathema is British, not American, in the book
Adam has an older sister named Sarah
Aziraphale is the first angel to own a computer
After the non-Armageddon, Adam alters reality to send Warlock on a plane to America, because Adam thinks America is a cool and magical place and that Warlock deserves something good. (We do not find out if Warlockâs life improves, only that he liked England because it was âa good place to be an Americanâ)
Crowley was so impressed by how diabolically mundane the warranty conditions for computers were that he sent a stack of them down to Hellâs âImmortal Soulsâ agreement department with a memo saying âLearn, guysâ
When Crowley trapped Hastur on his answering machine, he considered taking the tape and playing it in his car until it became Freddie Mercury, but he decided even that was taking it too far
While NOT show canon, in the book the combination to Crowleyâs safe containing the holy water is 4-0-0-4, the year he âslithered onto this stupid, marvellous planetâ (Neil has stated that the combination in the show is meaningless and was the default for the safe they bought)
In the book, it does NOT expressly say that Crowley destroys the plants he deems failures, just that he leaves and returns an hour later with an empty flowerpot
Crowleyâs flat contains a bedroom, office, kitchen, lounge, and bathroom, each âforever clean and perfectâ because he doesnât really âliveâ there, as well as a fridge stocked with gourmet food that never spoils and the fridge isnât even plugged in
Shadwell believes that Aziraphale is a Russian spy
Crowley and Aziraphale had both visited Shadwellâs apartment exactly once (and Aziraphale was rather disgusted by the state of the place)
In the book (as opposed to the show) Aziraphale is full aware (and nonplussed) that thereâs only a 50/50 chance Heaven would win against Hell in Armageddon, and that it doesnât matter for humans so much anyways because everyone will be killed horribly as civilian casualties during the war itself (a hilarious and very bitchy speech absolutely worth reading, when he possesses Marvin the TV preacher)
The road to Hell isnât paved with good intentions, rather with frozen door-to-door salesmen, and young demons go ice-skating down it on weekends
Madame Tracyâs real name is Marjorie Potts
Aziraphale has âneat, copperplateâ handwriting
Crowley is an optimist
It turns out, Hasturâs murder of the telephone salespeople prevented a Crowley-esque domino effect of thousands of people getting angry from the calls and passing that anger on and on, thus actually spreading a wave of low-level goodness across London
In the book, the M25 wasnât actually on fire, but rather an inexplicable glowing combination of âpain and dark lightâ called infra-black, and was both 700 degrees Celsius and -140 at the same time. The Bentley spontaneously combusted when crossing it.
When Crowley meets Aziraphale-as-Tracy, he does say âIs that you? Nice dressâ but the TV version added the âIt suits you.â However in the book he also says âArenât you going to introduce me to your new body?â :)))
When Adam acknowledges Crowley at the airbase, Crowley feels true terror for the first time in his life, because while Hell could make you cease to exist, the Antichrist could make it so you never existed in the first place
When Aziraphale makes the soldier disappear, he actually was transported back to his childhood home in America where his family lives
In the book, to get them both home from Tadfield Crowley steals a Jeep from the airbase
Crowley and Aziraphale are deadass just referred to as âthe couple with the bottle [of wine]â one time
There is no body swap scene at the end, because there didnât need to be; in the book, the stakes of Aziraphale and Crowleyâs Arrangement were not nearly as high. A big deal was never made of it, as they were too unimportant to warrant the attention of their superiors. Retribution never came. While they could get in trouble (and Crowley was threatened many times) for defying orders concerning the Apocalypse, little mention was made of their friendship being a crime. Thus, they never had any real reason to deny being friends, and were much more comfortable with their loyalties and each other. This lack of tension marks the biggest divergence between the series and book, and creates a starkly different (and interesting!) dynamic for the characters in the show.
Just me but I get the distinct sense that book Aziraphale and Crowley are already an old bickering married couple and this explains the distinct lack of pining lmao.
Anyway, I hope these were enjoyable or helpful!
Guys I have a big question about the "Good Omens: lockdown" video. So, in the video we see a map where Tadfield is circled right? Which means that it must have some sort of importance, so probably Aziraphale knows that Adam is there, and since he finds out where Adam is only a few days before the Armageddon, we can assume this is happening AFTER the Armageddon't. But if that's the case, why is Aziraphale so sure that Crowley is (or should be) out and about? Tempting people, making them do the wrong thing. They don't have sides, so they don't have a "job", they can do whatever they want. Is it because it's their nature? But the all series is meant to show that everyone Is free to do and be whoever they want, no matter nature, side or prophecies...
So why? Is this before or after Armageddon't? I don't get it T_T am I stupid?
â¨AT THE BEGINNING â¨
Am I ready for a full month of Good Omens fanarts? HELL YEAH!!!
