what if the j stood for 'jay' all this time and he's literally just Anthony Jay Crowley

#good omens #anthony jay z gatsby leno pritchett crowley #i mean probably not #there's a scene in staged where neil gaiman adds initials that don't mean anything to names idk if that's a theme in his writing or what #i mean the z in a. z. fell doesn't stand for anything either #but i'm sure aziraphale 'spotless with paperwork' fell came up with something #anthony j crowley

On the interview with the vampire podcast I heard them use the phrase "messy bitch who lives for drama" and I couldn't stop thinking about it, to the point where I've now managed to adapt it to my three favourite characters in existence

For Lestat de Lioncourt the phrase evidently needs no change. He is THE messy bitch who lives for drama

Crowley after a bit of debate on my good omens blog (and some very good arguments) I decided that the phrase that best describes him is: Messy bitch who lives WITH drama

And finally, Neil Josten, whom I have decided to define as messy bitch who is hunted by drama

The Good Omens Musical Masterpost🎵❤

How it started :)

Some time before 2013: Vicki Larnach, the australian composer and lyricist, read the Good Omens book, imagined figures dancing on stage with brilliant music and thought, ‘Ah, I’m gonna ask Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman if I can turn it into a musical.’ and sent an email to the publishers. The next day she got an email saying, ‘We don’t want a musical but Terry’s coming to Australia, so come and say hello and tell us what you got.’

Rob Wilkins came down to meet Vicki and Jim Hare - Vicki's husband and writer - and took them to meet Terry. They spent an hour and a half with them where Terry asked ‘piercing questions’, had tea with them and they showed Terry a song that Vicki wrote (about the Chattering Nuns). Terry said to Rob, ‘Rob, write and email to Neil, “Dear Neil, this is Terry. I’m sitting in front of two hippies from Sydney and they want to make a musical out of Good Omens and I’m tempted to let them do it.”’ which was the best email they ever heard and then Terry said, ‘Okay, you have me curious.’ - it was because of the Nuns song which sounded like the book. ‘I’m gonna give you six months, come back with a first draft libretto and five songs.’

They then sent it to Terry who sent it to Neil. Terry said, ‘I really like it, you’re moving story, you’re doing all the right things, but where’s showstopper, where’s the toe-tapper, you know I need people to go to intermission just snapping their fingers with the song they just can’t get out of their head, and I haven’t heard that.’ - and they realized that they were so busy serving the story they forgot to do the wow-factor, but found it very encouraging from Terry that he wanted to make it better.

They went through the whole book again to find a centrepiece - and they found it  when Warlock is growing up and Aziraphale and Crowley are with him, and spent months working just on that one thing and called ‘All Living Things’ [the song at the start of this post :)] which is a line from the book.*’ Terry gave that song to a person he knew and asked him to play it to his wife with no context and when the next day the person said that his wife woke up still singing the song Terry said to Vicki and Jim: ‘Well, that’s what I asked you to do.’ 

* [“This here’s Brother Slug,” the gardener would tell him, “and this tiny little critter is Sister Potato Weevil. Remember, Warlock, as you walk your way through the highways and byways of life’s rich and fulsome path, to have love and reverence for all living things.” “Nanny says that wivving fings is fit onwy to be gwound under my heels, Mr. Fwancis,” said little Warlock, stroking Brother Slug, and then wiping his hand conscientiously on his Kermit the Frog overall.]

Vicki and Jim got the permission to being adapting it as a musical in 2013.

Vicki and Jim on it a couple of years ‘fumbling about’, took it as far as they could and decided to bring another person into it: Jay-James Moody

In 2015, Jay James-Moody joined the collaboration initially as a dramaturge and directorial eye, eventually evolving into co-book writer. Vicki, James and Jay have continued to evolve through countless more revisions and a number of private development readings with the support, time and talent of numerous wonderful Australian performers testing the material.

In November 2017, the musical was presented in its then-current form and entirety for the first time before an audience of over 500 eager attendees. The cast included Luke Joslin, Lachlan O’Brien, Nancye Hayes, Barry Quin, Brett O’Neill, Lauren McKenna, Nicholas Craddock, Paul Capsis, Rob Johnson, Amy Lehpamer, Debora Krizak, Blake Erickson, Nat Jobe, Ana Maria Belo, Jordan Hare, Bella Thomas, Anthony Abrakmanov and Samson Hyland.

Following a rapturous response to this reading it continued to be refined and developed.

In 2019, ten days before the show came out they did their last presentation, since then they’ve been to London and shown a videotape of that workshop to Neil and Rob which was ‘a pretty heartstopping experience’ but both Neil and Rob were ‘so lovely and very generous with their time’ and they were showing it to them and in the intermission Neil said ‘I wish Terry could have seen this.’ (see here :))

Differences between the musical and the book

The ending of the musical is a bit different, they were worried about it but Neil said, ‘I totally understand, the ending of the TV series is different, because I had something that was book-shaped and I needed to make it TV-shaped. And you had something that was book-shaped and you needed to make it stage-shaped.’

It opens with the burning of Agnes Nutter and Aziraphale and Crowley are introduced there. 

Act One ends with them ‘essentially breaking up’ because of a huge argument and they dissolve their friendship, Act Two starts with the first time they meet.

The Future?

What is the future for the musical: in 2021 they said that they need to work on some things and then they hope to do another run, initially in Australia.

There will be a CD of the soundtrack available when the show is produced in it’s full version.

Anthony Jay Crowley, I see what you did there.

Forgive me if anyone has pointed this out before but I think Crowley's chosen middle name from S1 *might* actually be J as in, just a Jay. You see, the Eurasian Jay is a fairly common and cute as heck bird common in most of Europe, Asia and Northern Africa that's part of the Corvidae family (same as crows and ravens). Not only are they crow-family birds, they're also great at adapting to their environments, and are superior mimics, and just like crows, often pretend to be other birds (see constantly changing snazzy clothes).

Eurasian Jays have two other very distinct characteristics: 1) They are extremely smart, and plan for the future. And 2) The males of the species FUCKING LOVE BRINGING AND FEEDING THEIR MATE SPECIAL FOODS THE MATE LOVES AS A PART OF COURTSHIP.

I mean, we knew about the cake and... whatever this was from S1.

But now we *know* know from the ox rib scene.

That Crowley loves not just watching Aziraphale eat and enjoy eating, but offering him special and delicious treats. For courtship reasons. It makes him happy. Do know what they call the Eurasian Jay in the UK?

Things The Good Omens Fandom Has Collectively Decided Upon And I Love With Whatever The Hell Is Left Of My Soul

I do, however, have notes at the bottom.

Crowley's middle name is Janthony. †

Aziraphale's pyjamas are thus: light blue, either collar pyjamas or a nightshirt, fluffy slippers, and DEFINITELY a nightcap.

Gabriel is an Asshole™.

Muriel is a wholesome baby. (we haven't even MET them yet and we love them!)

Aziraphale and Crowley are just Together. It doesn't matter what your idea of their relationship is - they can be best friends, in love, in a queerplatonic relationship, married - but they are Together, and that's what counts. Also I love how there is basically ZERO shipping discourse in this fandom (that I know of, and I don't want to ever see it if there is).

And we have a whole LIST of names for the failed apocalypse. ‡

† Here is my opinion on the Crowley's Full Name Thing (a lot of these are my own suggestions)

Tired: Anthony J. Crowley

Wired: Anthony Janthony Crowley

Inspired: Anthony Jay Crowley (he does say "just a j, so maybe he meant it this way?)

Desired: Anthony Jupiter Crowley (because he helped make SPACE)

The Person Who Wrote This Ought To Be Fired: Anthony Just-A-J-Really Crowley. (I'm the one who came up with this and I am so sorry. I'll see my sorry self out.)

‡ These are a few of my favourites (including my own ones), feel free to add more if you wish!

Armageddoff

Apocalypse No

Ragna-right-okay-never-mind

The Apoca-nope

Armageddon't

The Not-Pocalypse

Arma-get-on-with-it

The Apocaflop

And finally, for your pleasure...

The Little Rapture That Couldn't.

Thank you and goodnight! (walks out of the room backwards, bangs into doorframe before continuing like nothing happened)

Anthony just-a-Jay Crowley...

[nature documentary voice]

The Eurasian jay is a relatively small corvid...

The most characteristic call is a harsh, rasping screech that is used upon sighting various predators and as a advertising call...

The jay is well known for its mimicry, often sounding so like a different species that it is difficult to distinguish its true identity unless the bird is seen...

Both sexes build the nest which is usually placed in a fork or on a branch of a tree...

Both parents feed and care for the young...

Similar to other corvids, Eurasian jays have been reported to plan for future needs...

Male Eurasian jays also take into account the desires of their partner when sharing food with her as a courtship ritual.

The bird is called jay, without any epithets, by English speakers in Great Britain and Ireland.

This is not suggesting that the "J" is meant to indicate a "jay", it's just a random brain shortcircuit that happened to me this morning and made me laugh.

THE FOLLOWING IS RELATED TO GOOD OMENS I SWEAR

Back in 2017, I bought a bicycle. It's a foldable bicycle that I still have and I still use. Fast forward a bot to late 2018/early 2019, I was talking to a close group of friends and thought I should name my bike. I wasn't emotionally attached to it back then, and I'm still not, despite using it a few times a week for the past six years. And so I named my bike J (pronounced like Jay). This was for two reasons: 1. Bicycle is a long word to type when you're talking to someone through messages (and the shortened version of "bike" does not exist in my native language) and 2. I thought I could turn it into a joke that if I said things like "I'm going home with J", people outside of my friend group who would hear this would assume that I have a boyfriend and ask me who J is.

Unfortunately, no one ever did ask me that, after the quarantine in 2020 I dropped the whole thing, especially since my group of friends changed and none of the people I was spending time with were there when I came up with the idea in the first place. But for about a year or so, I did call my bike J.

Now, you might be thinking "Okay, okay. Cool story and all that, but what does this have to do with Good Omens?"

And I'm getting to that, don't worry.

Just today, I was talking to a new friend about my past and somehow ended up talking about the whole "naming my bike J" story. I haven't thought about this since I've stopped doing it.

And then it hit me.

I and Anthony Janthony Crowley did the exact same thing around the same time and despite me watching Good Omens in 2019, I never realised that. If anyone would've asked me why I named my bike J, and not B or P or K, I would've simply responded with "It's just a J, really."
