Crowley before The Fall

Ok, so I love angelology, it’s so interesting to me and is one of the main reasons I found out about Good Omens.

We all know Crowley used to be an angel and helped build some nebulas, but that was it from season 1.

“You’d have to be a throne or a dominion, or above”.

Crowley had access to the files, meaning that he was a very high ranking angel, let me explain:

In christian catholic angelology there’s 9 chorus (types of angels) divided into 3 ranks (being the 1st rank the highest) so we have:

1st rank

• Seraphim

• Cherubim

• Thrones

2nd rank

• Dominions

• Virtues

• Powers

3rd rank

• Principalities (Here’s Aziraphale)

• Archangels

• Angels

Considering the duties from the 1st rank and dominions (from the 2nd rank) I consider Crowley was a throne, here’s why:

- Seraphim are the caretakers of God’s throne, continuously singing “holy, holy, holy”, they have 3 pairs of wings and they use one of the pairs to cover their faces from the light of God. “The Burning One”.

- Cherubim protect the entry into the garden of Eden, and they continue to guard holy spaces where God dwells and Heaven and Earth overlap. “The One who Blesses”. (Aziraphale has the characteristics of a Seraph, but I’ll explain that on another post).

- Thrones hold the throne of God, they’re depicted as great wheels containing many eyes, and reside in the area of the cosmos where material form begins to take shape. They mete out divine justice and maintain the cosmic harmony of all universal laws.

- Dominions help keep the world in proper order, they’re know for delivering God’s justice into just situations and help angels in lower ranks stay organized to perform their work well.

“Let there be matter, let there be gravity, let there be everything from pages 11 to 3,000,602 inclusive”.

- Crowley (S201 01:10)

“I wasn’t the original concept designer, but I worked very closely with upstairs on it”.

- Crowley (S201 02:10)

Crowley: Gravity, it’s, umm… A thing that happens when objects are pulled together. In this case, they’re all pulled downwards because the earth is the largest thing around.

Gabriel: Why?

Crowley: Honestly, I don’t remember. Seemed like a good idea when we were all talking about it.

- (S2E3 16:35)

Crowley made the nebulas Elephant’s Tank, Carina and Horsehead (with Saraqael); also helped create the star factory (universe).

Also, at The Fall, some angels from every chorus fell, so it would be no surprise if a throne fell as well.

In 0.5 seconds and without saying a single word, Michael Sheen changed lives.

This was the bitchiest bitch moment Aziraphale had in all 2 seasons. Thank you for your service, respectfully, I am deceased.

feathered-serpents:

I do think people are forgetting, sometimes willingly, that Aziraphale is JUST as heartbroken over the rejection as Crowley

They did not walk out of there with Crowley destroyed and Aziraphale bummed but getting over it once he was in the elevator. Aziraphale went to Crowley all giddy and excited because he really thought this was finally it, this was finally their chance to be happy, and he sees it as Crowley taking that chance and stomping on it. H wasn’t lying when he said he needed Crowley, he DOES, and now he thinks Crowley chose his hate for heaven over his love for him just as Crowley thinks Aziraphale chose his devotion to god over his devotion to him

It wasn’t as simple as “Aziraphale rejected Crowley” they both think the other rejected them it was essentially the messiest mutual break up you’ve ever seen

They’re both completely heartbroken and do not see the part they played in their own heartbreak. Both thinking THE OTHER caused it. It’s such a mess. It’s SUCH a mess I cannot STAND these two

He’s just an Angel… I know.

Good Omens (2019-)

weaver-z:

I love being part of the Good Omens fandom because it’s the only fandom I’m in that hasn’t simmered down yet. You people are 2014 levels of crazy. You’re in Neil’s inbox calling him “babygirl” and writing 16000-word theory essays that will absolutely come back to haunt you in a Youtube retrospective some day. I love having to apologize to my mutuals for your behavior. It makes me feel young again.
