I made this for myself because 1992 script Crowley is a poltergeist personally giving me night terrors

[sp00kytitty]

I keep thinking about this:

So we kmow that any tape left in Crowley's bently turns into a best if Queen's and we also know imagination is a whole thing

What if, when he first got the bently, he had a few tapes, one of them being Queen, put it in the wrong case, and after not paying attention put the, what he didnt think was queen, tape in, happened a couple times, and thought "damn, if its in here for more than a fortnight then it turns into Queen.

Ritual

On Ao3.

The ritual was in session for at least an hour. The members of the cult chanted louder and louder, in the warm humid atmosphere of the cellar.  In the dim light of the hundred blood red candles the tied-up victim feebly tried to get free from her restrains but with no avail. The leather was too strong, and she was drugged to be just aware of her surroundings.

The cult leader flipped the page in his occult book continuing the dark incantation they were repeating when suddenly the pentagram on the other side of the room flared up and two figures appeared. The cult leader didn’t even had time to become surprised when the taller one, a thin dark person an expertly tailored suit, wearing sunglasses hurried to him, and knocked the book out of his hand.

"Would you shut the hell up?!" He shouted with slightly twitching left eye.

The cult leader blinked a couple of times, stunned, and his flock, about a dozen man and women wearing dark foreboding clothes, complete with blood red belts, slowly fell silent as well.

"FINALLY!" Exclaimed the stranger and rubbed his temples. His companion, a shorter man, with fair blond hair and a suit which style would be more at home in the previous century, looked around curiously. When his eyes stopped at the sacrifice he slowly walked up to the altar.

At last, the cult leader managed to compose himself.

"Who the hell are you? " He asked finally his own anger mounting. "Do you have any idea how long does it takes to set up the summoning ritual?"

"Based on the time you were shouting in my goddam head about one and a half hour!"Responded the taller stranger bitingly. The cult leader puffed up himself up and drew his ceremonial knife.

"Now listen to me you assh-" Before he could finish his sentence the tall stranger snorted and then raised one of his fingers and then he tapped it against the cult leader's chest. The occult master disappeared, leaving behind a small puff of acrid smoke, clothes, and the sacrificial knife, which fell to the ground clanking. His flock moved as one person towards the tall man who just calmly raised his finger again. The sudden rush of humans halted, well out of finger reach.

"Before anyone tries to do something nasty." The man slowly removed his sunglasses showing the crowd his vibrant yellow eyes. "Just remember I have a much vibrant imagination on that part. "

The cultists shuddered and knelt down as one.

"Oh my dark master…"  One who, based on his slightly fancier robes must have been the second in command in their little religious organization, spoke up.  "Why did you punish your devoted servants?"

"Don’t 'oh my dark master' me. Have you got any idea what another demon would have done with the lot of you?" Asked the man with almost palpable indignation.

The cultist glanced at each other.

"But, dark master, we done everything written in the book." The demon rolled his eyes and extended his arms.

"Really? Did you really? Because I think the only two things that are genuine here is the book and the sacrifice." At that some cultist glanced towards the girl who oddly quieted down. They tried to raise some objection about the fact that the demon's companion was meticulously worked on untying her, but then the yellow eyed stranger bent down and got something from the floor. It was the ceremonial dagger. The demon started talking without even reacting to those who tried to speak up.

"Look at this! What is this? The book definitely asked for a sacrificial dagger. This is a steak knife painted with gold spray paint. Come on guys you couldn’t have believed this would work. "

"Its…Well…. We have a pentagram." Protested one of the cultists.

"Yes, made out of red paint and glass instead of a priest's blood and crushed rubies. A demon can really tell, I assure you." Sneered the yellow eyed stranger.

"Candles, the candles must be right." Stated another cultist in vain hope.

The demon sniffed into the air and then sighed.

"Cherry scented ones from a supermarket. Not exactly created from the fat of a slaughtered lamb is it? Look, you can't just half ass these things. All or nothing, most demons are really stickler for traditions. I know. I have worked with them." He rubbed his forehead and noticed the small washing machine at the very edge of the room. It was hastily covered in a star patterned tablecloth.  The demon sighed wearily." What the hell do you wanted to summon a demon anyway? "

"For money." Said one of the cultists

"And fame, and dark evil powers." Added the right hand of the previous leader who realized that without his boss, now he might get a chance in the spotlight.

"Become a politician then. You get all the dark evil powers with fame and money as you want. Or a financial advisor, maybe a lawyer. If you don’t want to get that quiet so vile, do organized crime. You all get to go down either way, but at least you get to live a little before that."

There were some murmurs from the members of the cult and then the self-titled new leader spoke up.

"And if we don’t want to do that? " The demon's eyes glinted maliciously.

"Then you can follow your leader wherever I sent him." There was an ocean of menace behind those eyes. Suddenly every cult member began to reconsider their life choices and found out that a life full of normal everyday evils might be infinitely better than just dying right here at the hands of an occult one.  

"I am also taking your book." The demon reached down and grabbed the ancient tome with the same elegance and reverence one would treat a morning newspaper.

"But…" The second man in the cult stepped closer but the demon once again raised his finger and waggled it. The man stepped back into the line.

"And we will be taking this poor girl too."

Suddenly the cultist realized that the demons companion was still in the room. During their talk with the black clad stranger he managed to untie the sacrifice, and gently led the barely conscious girl to the pentagram.

"What?" Asked the leader of the cultists and the demon at the same time.

"Excuse me, can we have a minute? I need to talk with my friend over there." The demon briskly walked to the other man and stepped right next to him. They started a muffled conversation, but the cultists do manage to glimpse some tidbits here and there, along the lines of:

"Look you can't just pick up every stray when you see them. We were at a DINNER we can't just arrive with a half-naked young women. Its impolite."

"Oh come on, Crowley, when was the last time something being impolite ever worried you?"

"Five hundred bc…That's not the point here. Look can we not do this right now."

"If you won't let me take her home before we continue our dinner, I shan't continue our dinner at all."

"What? Don't be like that…"

"I said what I said." With that the man in the lighter suit puffed himself off. His companion answered with a now clearly audible.

"Fine."

The demon, named Crowley, turned back towards the cultist. "We are taking the girl too. She was a sacrifice after all and I'm a demon. And I haven't even eaten out your eyeballs or something like that like any of my old coworkers would have. So how about you sit a little here thinking about the prospects I raised and I won't be forced to vaporize any of you before we go? Sounds like a plan isn't it?"

The cultists slowly nodded, wholeheartedly agreeing with the not being vaporized part, and being generally lukewarm about the other things.

"Wonderful. Off we go then��What?" He asked as his companion gently tugged on his sleeves and whispered a question in his ears. "No of course not. I know you are particular about that. He just has some swimming to do." The demons companion nodded smiling, and waved at the cultists.

"In shark infested waters." Added Crowley before he disappeared in a puff of sulfurish smoke. The other man snorted, and also popped away with the girl they were meant to sacrifice.

There was a long and awkward silence in the room followed by a bit of shuffling. After a couple of minutes one of the cultists spoke up.

"Brendon…"

"Master Occultist." Corrected the former second man of the cult, rapidly climbing at the top of the ladder before anyone could dispute his ascension.

"Master Occultist….what the hell just happened here?"

"I have absolutely no idea."

A quick Anthony Jolene Crowley

[alecs-potatofarm]

best demon there is

[aethelflaedladyofmercia]

Please remember in your fic writing that this is A Thing Crowley Does. Not just referencing movies or having nerdy memorabilia or accidentally quoting a line nearly identical to a famous movie that won’t be produced for a few centuries.

Crowley memorizes cool monologues from action movies and adapts them to the situation when he needs to look especially tough.

I- I don’t know how I missed this.

When Crowley is in the confrontation with Hastur and bluffing about the squirt bottle having holy water in it, he says “Do you feel lucky?”  He’s quoting Dirty Harry.  Even Crowley’s speech about “This is the most efficient plant mister in the world, capable of turning even a Duke of hell into a puddle yadayadayada” mirrors Dirty Harry’s monologue about his gun in the “do you feel lucky” scene.

I can’t believe it.  Crowley’s stress response in life-threatening situations is to quote action movies.  This is honestly better than the James Bond bullet hole windshield transfer stickers.  Anthony J Crowley Serpent of Eden and Tempter of Mankind is a fuckin nerd pass it on

I can’t get over how bitchy Aziraphale is in this scene.  They’re sitting there trying to think of a way to stop the apocalypse and Aziraphale is correcting Crowley’s vocabulary.  “I’m not occult, you may be occult, but I’m not occult, angels aren't occult, Crowley, they’re ethereal, not occult-”  Are you fucking kidding me, Aziraphale

I think the thing that fucks me up about AJ Crowley is he’s a demon but his wants/needs are so basic and innocent. Think about what we see him express desire for in the book. Physical safety. Autonomy. Companionship. Intellectual stimulation. The comfort of good wine and food. Typical demon-y things like power, destruction, hurting people--they’re just not up there.  I feel like his behavior matches up with how a smart and mostly good-hearted (and a little mischievous and easily bored) human would act when faced with the shitty circumstances Crowley gets thrown at him.  

[not-a-space-alien]

Honestly one of my favorite thoughts about Good Omens is that Crowley, a demon, upheld God's command to love His creation better than every angel that gathered to carry out Armegeddon.

[not-a-space-alien]

to be honest I’m pretty chill about hogwarts house headcanons until someone puts AJ Crowley into something other than Slytherin.  I mean consider:

Snake.  he’s literally a snake.  Parseltongue.  Snake patronus.  Snake animagus.  Everything about him is a snake.

Slytherins are shrewd and use their cunning to achieve their ends. Crowley uses his smarts to overpower two dukes of hell who massively outgun him with nothing but a bucket of holy water and a telephone.  If that’s not cunning or shrewd I don’t know what to tell you

“But Slytherins are ambitious!” I hear you cry.  True, Crowley doesn’t have a title and doesn’t aspire to power, but.  You wouldn’t consider “I’m going to stop the blessed Apocalypse when literally everyone on my side and the opposite side are working to make it happen” to be ambitious?

But also being an ambitious Slytherin also means being a good leader, and he manages to convince a goody-goody angel to help him stop the apocalypse for personal gain, as well as working alongside Aziraphale at the end to spin that cobweb of lies to Metatron and Beelzebub, not to mention getting to Eve to eat the apple.  Crowley is boss at getting people to do what he wants.

Quoting the hp wiki here:   “[Slytherins] also have highly developed senses of self-preservation.”  Crowley’s first instinct when danger rears its head is to run the fuck away, and only stays for the final showdown with heaven and hell’s representatives because Aziraphale asks him to.

“The qualities which Salazar valued in the students he chose included cleverness, resourcefulness, determination, and ‘a certain disregard for the rules.’”  All of this is so Crowley.

He’s literally a snake

He’s also got the whole “people assume you’re evil” thing going on so
