He's a big, bad demon, sent by God to destrrrrrroy you all! Big arms, thunderous voice, hamming it up for his audience, but he stops to check in with the kids by saying in a normal voice, "Ready?" before he sets the place ablaze.
"Ready?" is what you say to kids before you throw them in the pool, or scream and start running after them, or snatch them up to swing them around. It's a quick little checking-in with them so they know, "ok this is going to be fun-scary get ready!" It's how you let them know that everything will be ok because you're just playing with them.
This little consideration is how I know this show was made by people who have small children.
And the fact that Crowley was playing with the kids is just adorable.
Bildaddy's 1000th Follower Mutual Celebration Video
Bildaddy loves every single one of you (platonic) Thank you all for joining the flock! When Bildad is your goatherd, you shall not want. Or, well, not for ox ribs (platonic), at least, anyway--or brocs ribs (platonic) for our vegan and vegetarian kids (species, age neutral)
If you're wondering why I've been quieter today, this is your answer.
I included as many people as possible, especially those who replied/reblogged the original 969 Follower Post. But if you're feeling left out, let me know and I can make sure you're in the next video.
Y’all ever forget bildad is a disguise for Crowley? Like I understand the “who’s Crowley?” Joke but like, I genuinely forgot bildad wasn’t another character that just showed up for a bit and died of natural causes like all the other humans.
pt XIV good omens season 2 (still not traumatic) episode 2
Here we go. It might not have been traumatic, but it has made me utterly in love with a fictional character. Great.
While everyone runs around between episode 1 and 2 to use the loo or fetch emotional support fruit, in preparation for my inevitable gay panic for Crowley, I eat an emotional support banana as the intro sequence plays.
I realise too late that bananas remind me of fellatio.
The episode begins. There are incoherent screams of BILDADDY through the chat. The phrase religious fervour and ecstasy comes to mind. I do not say it.
God and Satan are betting on a poor bloke so his goats and kids are going to be dead, Crowley has a permit to wreak havoc, Aziraphale is scandalised.
Gabriel's angel hair is very Lord Farquaad. Everyone agrees.
Jimbriel is determined to make his new dad proud, and rearranges all the books in alphabetical order of the first letter of the first sentence. Aziraphale struggles to compliment him.
CROWLEY LIVES IN THE BENTLEY. I'M READY TO RIP THROUGH REALITY'S FABRIC TO GIVE THAT IMMORTAL SOME LOVE AND AFFECTION. AND OF COURSE HE STILL KEEPS ALL HIS PLANTS AND HAS THEM IN THE BACK. @neil-gaiman WHY MUST YOU CAREFULLY CRAFT BEAUTY THAT BREAKS ME.
Anyway.
NO NOT ANYWAY I'M STILL RAGING BUT WE HAVE A SUMMARY TO DO AND I'M A FUCKING PROFESSIONAL GODDAMN IT.
Angels are assholes. Jimbriel is very supportive bookseller's son.
The shit-job subtlety attempt last episode was very powerful because TOGETHER THEY ARE STRONGER! *unicorn music*
Aziraphale strokes Crowley's chest. The fandom sobs.
Crowley suggests getting humans wet to make them 'vavoom' and the apple falls from my slack jaw mid bite.
Aziraphale and Crowley are shit at interpreting human media.
Job storyline. If I open my mouth I'll start scream-crying about how Crowley didn't even kill the goats. He had both heaven and hell's permission, orders from God and Satan, and he didn't even kill the goats. Anyway no we're not doing this now thanks.
Crowley introduces Aziraphale to food. Aziraphale goes ham on the ox rib while Crowley has a little spring awakening about his kinks. I eat my other emotional support banana in honour of the blowjob angles.
Crowley didn't even want to reveal that he'd saved the goats to Aziraphale even though Aziraphale was looking at him with betrayal, because it was for the goats and he wanted to-
Sorry. I'm so fucking normal about goats.
David Tennant and his son are having a HECK of a time.
All Crowley wanted to do was ask questions and christ if he isn't angelic who is he put goats' safety over his-
Bildaddy is the best cobbler and obstetrician. Gabriel is an idiot.
Back in actual time, Crowley gives up on Aziraphale mid-flashback and they saunter off to facilitate some lesbian romancing.
OUR BOOKSHOP. OUR CAR. PLENTY OF USE.
Boundaries, Aziraphale, please. Someone reminds us that the Bentley is all Crowley has left. I fill with preternatural RAGE again.
Aziraphale poor baby has a crisis over betraying heaven. Crowley comforts him even though Crowley fell so every defence of heaven is an attack to himself. I'm totally normal and start eating my emotional support kiwi.
Still eating my emotional support kiwi when the episode ends. Crowley says Aziraphale is too pure and angelic looking to be a demon which means that she doesn't see how pure and angelic she was while making the stars, she thinks she was marked in some way, imperfect. It is okay for her to fall, not Aziraphale.
Anyway yes summary all done.
BUT THE GOATS. CROWLEY DEFIED HEAVEN AND HELL FOR GOATS. AND-
