good omens + inaccurate quotes (part i)
I made this to try and convert help my friends understand what it is I’m screaming about now. Thought I’d just post it considering the effort I went to. You’re absolutely welcome.
They’re both complete idiots and I love that.

Green Screen - Special Effects in Good Omens
Discussing Crowley’s many hairstyles in Good Omens (with special thanks to Stevie Smith - and apologies to poor Michael Sheen)

Mr. Gaiman, A Good Omens question, please. Watching Crowley and Aziraphale snap their fingers as they "magic" their surroundings, I've noticed that Crowley/Mr. Tennant always uses an upward gesture and Aziraphale/Mr. Sheen always uses a downward gesture (even when Aziraphale finishes with an upward motion, he's always started with a downward motion). Is it brilliant writing, brilliant staging or brilliant acting--or all 3?
All three. When we started, we needed to work out what the gestures in the script actually were, and Douglas and Michael and David and I decided on that: David pulls something up from below, Michael pulls down from above…
#it WAS intentional holy shit#the details in this show#everything is meant You know what, @neil-gaiman is a nerd. He’s on tumblr, he writes fanfic. The other people involved are clearly just as nerdy. What would happen if any of YOU got to make a series out of your original story that you wrote with your best friend and recruited your headcanon-happy fans for the job? yeah. :P all shows should be made this way, tbh.
When Aziraphale hears Crowley’s voice.
Aziraphale in the paintball scene, though. I mean, seriously, y’all
Look

absolute
nerd
Especially that last gif! This is an angel that is literally thousands of years old, he helped create the motherfuckin’ universe, and he is p o u t i n g at Crowley over some paint on his jacket that he could EASILY remove himself.
But wait! There’s more!
Not only has Aziraphale already shown Crowley the stain, but Crowley has already circled him to assess the damage for himself.
And yet, after saying, “Well, I would always know the stain was there,” with that little pout, he turns to show Crowley the stain again.
And then! AND THEN!!
He gives Crowley this look.
Do you see the little raise of his eyebrows??? LOOK AGAIN
He could very easily get rid of this stain himself, but he is doing E V E R Y T H I N G in his power to get Crowley to do it for him.
“I could do this myself,” he’s saying, “but I’d rather you do it. You can do it better than me, can’t you? Please? Please, won’t you???”
The funniest part about this, fam, is that we all know Crowley needs very little prompting to actually indulge Aziraphale’s whims. He’s incredibly indulgent, anyways, we see ample evidence of that in Hard Times.
But this…I think (?) this is the first time that we see Aziraphale actively seeking out and trying to manipulate his way into getting one of those acts of service that Crowley so does like to give to him.
Like, sure, back during the Shakespeare scene, Aziraphale gives Crowley that very hopeful, “oh, WILL YOU?” look when Shakespeare mentions needing a miracle for Hamlet, but that is so different from this.
This is Aziraphale KNOWING that Crowley indulges and using that knowledge for his personal gain.
AND CROWLEY GIVES IT TO HIM. HE JUST. DOES.
That is the face of a spoiled angel that has gotten exactly what he wanted–a certain demon’s love and attention.
And that look Crowley gives him is just as devastating to me as Aziraphale’s sunshine smile over getting what he wanted.
That is a look of UTTER INDULGENCE.
He absolutely knows he’s been played but is happy to let it happen, because there is nothing quite as satisfying as indulging Aziraphale.
That is a look that says, “You’re so obvious, angel, and it’s adorable.”
He’s made his angel happy, what the fuck does he care?

if I was chilling in the 12th century and I saw someone wearing these I would immediately go into catatonic shock at how cool they looked
