Okay So Nearly Always, Crowley Stands To Aziraphale's Left, On The Sinister Side. But In 1823 Edinburgh,

A screenshot from Good Omens season 2 episode 3. It depicts Elspeth, Crowley, and Aziraphale, facing the camera, with Aziraphale to Crowley's left on the right side of the frame. Elspeth and Crowley are pulling a barrel containing a dead body. It is captioned: Don't you know that it's wrong?

A screenshot from Good Omens season 2 episode 3. again of Elspeth, Crowley, and Aziraphale. It is captioned:

A: The lower you start, the more opportunities you have.
So Elspeth here has all the opportunities because she's so poor.
C: That's lunacy.
A: No, that's ineffable.

A screenshot from Good Omens season 2 episode 3. Aziraphale and Crowley stand together in a graveyard, with Crowley on the left of the frame and Aziraphale to the right of the frame, meaning Aziraphale is standing on Crowley's left side.

okay so nearly always, crowley stands to aziraphale's left, on the sinister side. but in 1823 edinburgh, when aziraphale protests against bodysnatching and they start discussing his economic theories of potential goodness, it is aziraphale that stands to the left. which feels like a very deliberate choice when they so carefully keep crowley on the left in every other scene with the two of them

so in this, the episode where crowley does an unambiguously good deed and saves a life, while aziraphale has qualms about what counts as goodness, they've also literally swapped positions, changing where they stand in relation to each other both physically as well as morally

I was thinking about Anthony J Crowley, as all normal ones do, and how it is that he seems to exist alone outside the dichotomy of Heaven and Hell. Crowley wasn't obedient enough to be an angel, he couldn't toe the party line, he wasn't deferential enough to God or any authority. But he's also not cruel, or apathetic enough to be a demon; he's too soft for Hell.

So what is Crowley? Not an angel, not a demon ("Former demon," he says in s2). But he's more than what he's not. Crowley is outside the Heaven/Hell binary because of who he is, the one identity that sets him apart from all other demons and angels: Crowley is the Serpent of Eden. The snake in the garden was the instigator of choice, the inspiration to humans to use free will. That's who Crowley is, and when he inspired Eve to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge, he aligned himself with the fate of humans.

Crowley doesn't belong to Hell, and he certainly doesn't belong to Heaven. Crowley belongs to humanity.

Welcome to Tumblr, Twitter users!

Don’t worry, we don’t have Elon Musk here…

This isn’t Twitter. This isn’t your average every day site. This is Tumblr. We’re crazy. We’re weird. We don’t fit in. We’re the fangirls, the fujoshis, the Superwholockers, and the Steven Universe Critical bloggers. We forgot what “normal” was. So if you’re expecting a normal website…
