Crowley's relationship with Heaven is just so damn personal. While almost all of the other demons betrayed Heaven to end up in Hell, I'm almost certain that he was betrayed BY Heaven.
And I think that Crowley was always so goddamn optimistic as an Angel. And he absolutely once believed that Heaven could be absolutely brilliant. He believed it had great potential. "Oh, they want to shut all of this down again in 6000 years? Dang, that's kinda sad, but let's suggest a better idea, surely they'll notice their mistake"
Crowley was never bitter about that. Disappointed, yeah, but optimistic Heaven could and would change.
And I think he desperately held onto that belief until he fell.
I believe Crowley had NO idea he'd fall. Maybe there were signs he ignored because he was too optimistic, maybe there were no signs at all.
When there's a revolution and you're not entirely supporting the side that is being revolted against, you automatically become a revolutionary.
Crowley believed until the very last second that Heaven could do so much good if they'd only listen to his suggestions.
And even directly after his Fall, when he came back to conciousness and had to climb out of a burning pit of whatever it was, bleeding and in pain, he still believed in Heaven.
Stumbling around where he landed, he knew that none of the things around him were particularly good signs, but he tried to psych himself up with his ground-shattering optimism. This wasn't nice, this wasn't good, but it was okay. He was okay. This was okay. He'd be fine.
Heaven would never do this to him. This had to be a mistake, a big misunderstanding. This looked an awful lot like Hell, but it wasn't. Couldn't be. He hadn't fallen. He'd never fall. He wasn't one of the bad guys, after all, right? Right?
This was okay. He'd just have to find his way out of here. Back up there.
And then, Crowley came to a stop in front of the reflective surface of another pit of dark something. He bowed down to inspect it, and that's when he saw it.
His wings. His once beautiful, white Angel wings, now pitch-black and tattered. A face that was supposed to be his, bruised and smeared with blood and dirt. And those eyes - YELLOW, snakelike eyes - staring back at him with terror.
And that's when he knew.

Crowley Headcanons always argue that they love either sickly sweet treats and desserts,
or vacuum sealed raw rats that they keep by the three-dozen in their fridge...
There is no in between 🤣🤣

something about crowley falling because he asked too many questions resonates with the autistic experience of having your questions be seen as inherently disrespectful and being denied answers/punished for it. questioning anything/asking for clarifications made you the bad guy.
this is one of the many reasons why crowley is such a relatable character to me and why I am very protective of my hc of him as autistic (because even though we don't act exactly the same way, I understand exactly how he feels)

Some thoughts about “Just a ‘J’ really…”
Aziraphale knows it’s just an initial that doesn’t really stand for anything, but Mr. Anthony J. Crowley’s name proceeds him far beyond the angel… Did people who knew of him know it as the initial “J.” or the name “Jay?” I ask because the name “Jay” reached a peak of popularity in the 1950s and 60s.
Now we all know Crowley has a soft spot for kids. If he were to, say, find a way to protect children during the war (allied and annex, since he could justify it to hell as “protecting wars of the future” or some shit) that might be enough to build him a reputation… (Also, just the cute idea of him stowing them in churches, making the kids laugh as he hops around in his hat! The funny American accent he did for Aziraphale… seemed like an animated thing someone who’s used to interacting with children would do is all I’m saying. Might need to do a separate meta about Crowley and kids in 1941 🤷‍♀️)
But anyway my point is (dolphins) that if he was saving kids in 1941… When the oldest of them were having kids in the 1950s, did they choose the name “Jay” after the funny hopping man in the church who saved their lives?
Is Anthony “it’s just a J, really” Crowley responsible for the rise of popularity of the name “Jay”?

i know we get to see Crowley’s wings in the show and canonically that’s what they look like
BUT
I like to imagine that The Fall burned his wings entirely, they’re no longer useful and that’s a big part of why it’s called The Fall. Crowley’s wings, once pure white and glittered like the stars he made in just the right light are now scortched, a muddy mixture of black and ash grey, and cannot be used, the feathers are burned down to nothing and torn.
That even long after The Fall, his wings still hurt and burn as a reminder of It to the point that there’s always a faint stinging of pain on his shoulder blades.
i love making myself sad 👍

The 'Aziraphale Still Believes in Heaven' Take
Is one that I see so often. Too often. The way many fans (still) say Aziraphale is so naïve, he's never learned anything, he never changes, Metatron just offered him a promotion and he happily jumped on it. Happy to go back to Heaven. Still in their clutches. Leaving Crowley behind. Cos nothing lasts forever. Amirite? Poor long-suffering Crowley. So patient. Goes through so much. Aww. Takes that say that because Crowley never told Aziraphale about the venom in Gabriel's "Shut your stupid mouth and die already", Aziraphale has no idea that Heaven is not the good guys, that he still believes they are on the side of truth and light.
Takes that claim Aziraphale wants Crowley to come to Heaven and be an angel again so they can be happy like in the good old times. Takes that basically say that Aziraphale is stupid. And blind. LISTEN Do you mean this Aziraphale:
Tumblr media
Who knew before Crowley did that something is rotten in the state of Denmark, that things are wrong and one can get in a lot of trouble for a thing as minor as a suggestion to improve things. Is this the Aziraphale that would seriously suggest to Crowley, who he was immediately deeply anxious over, to go back to 'good old times'? What good old times? How is Heaven a place of light when:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A bunch of angels comes down to Earth to bully and PUNCH ONE OF THEIR OWN?
Tumblr media
Why would he think they are the light when they shame him for being who he is?
Yes, I HC is that ultimately, Aziraphale still believes in God, in Her inherent goodness, even if Her tasks were often odd... and not lining up with what he thought was right. He thinks (remember my own HC) something somewhere went wrong with the what She wanted and the how it was understood and executed. And yes, Aziraphale wants to do good. But that's not tied to him being an angel. And it's not a bad thing ffs! Crowley does good as well. Aziraphale might be the only one who knows, but he knows. Maybe getting humans out of the Garden to seek knowledge was always a (certainty) possibility, and maybe not, but it was Aziraphale's decision to arm them.
Tumblr media
And She didn't make him Fall for it. And do you remember when:
Tumblr media
Aziraphale first openly questioned that Heaven was actually doing what God actually wanted? He had a think after the Flood, didn't he. He did what he thought was right. He trusted Crowley over his fellow angels, with his own sense of rightness. He and Crowley saved the kids that Aziraphale triple checked the Archangels saw no problem in letting die to make things easier. And She didn't make him Fall for it. In Edinburgh:
Tumblr media
Az re-evaluated the thinking he was taught and did a full 180 degree turn, trying in few hours to save the grave-robbing girl AND the possible future lives of children that could be helped via more learning. And when we come to Metatron and his threats, we don't see the full conversation, but don't we see enough? Aziraphale says that he's not interested. Metatron keeps nagging at him. Pushing the symbolic coffee from Coffee or Death at him. Flattering him with obvious untruths. After all, Aziraphale knows what Heaven thinks of him. He tried to reason with Metatron before. Metatron tells him they know how deep his disobedience lies:
Tumblr media
Aziraphale is not a fool. He knows this is an offer of come quietly or we will find a way to destroy you and your demon this time. Aziraphale didn't have to hear Metatron's quip of: "For one prince of Heaven to be cast into the outer darkness makes a good story. For it to happen twice, makes it look like there is some kind of institutional problem." He knows the system is rotten. He knows for a LONG time. Did you see his face when he met Muriel and realised what a lonely sad existence they lead.
Tumblr media
AND Crowley doesn't love Aziraphale despite the fact that he's being used to get out of trouble, being made to listen about random things the angel enjoys from symphonies to food and plays, and who continues to believe in goodness and kindness. CROWLEY LOVES AZIRAPAHLE BECAUSE OF THOSE THINGS AND because he sees Aziraphale for what he is, an angel who thinks for himself, changes his mind, learns, angel who is brave, who stands for the right thing, who sacrifices his own happiness for the safety of others, especially the demon he loves. They are the same. They are lonely. They are one of a kind. And they love each other.
Tumblr media
Aziraphale wants to stay at home. In the home he built for himself and Crowley. On Earth where he's found so much to love. But he knows it is impossible. As Crowley confesses his love, Aziraphale struggles to stay on his plan to push him away, to make him stay. He'll miss Crowley terribly. He wants them to be together. For him, they were an 'us' the whole S2. However tenuously. Fragile existence and all that.
Tumblr media
But even this was ripped away from him. And whatever he's planning, he knows he needs to do the first steps on his own. He can't submit Crowley to the torture that being in Heaven is going to be for him, an unwanted, despised angel. And that would be even worse for an unwanted demon. He had to push him away.
Tumblr media
So he leaves. Furious. And determined. Whether it is to burn the place down or find God and ask Her all the questions to Her face I don't know. But his love will push him through.
Tumblr media
And if I see one more simplistic take of the snarky demon is really good isn't he, so that means the stuffy angel is bad (and needs to change to be worthy of the demon) I will curse their dreams with lines about shades of grey. AZIRAPHALE AND CROWLEY ALREADY LOVE EACH OTHER

Aziraphale tried confessing his love once a while ago. He wasn't brave enough to really state facts though, so he tried his best at giving seemingly obvious hints. Crowley didn't get them.
That caused Aziraphale spiralling quite a bit, so much that he never tried it again out of fear of being rejected (again).

Could we get some dire Crowley nsfw headcanons? I feel so hard for him jgjbfuh
Not many people ask for him, but he's really hot!
Pairing: Dire Crowley x Fem!Reader
Tags: nsfw, smut, BDSM, toy use, buying clothes, dom/sub dynmics, cute nicknames, marks, showing off
A/N: I think it's the mask... it's the mask for sure.
Tumblr media
A big BDSM enthusiast, the kind that has a whole collection of the gear in a closet
Calls you kitten, darling, love, plaything
The kind of man who will buy you any kind of clothes you want and then proceed to show you off, and insist he takes it off later that same night
Proud to show any mark you might make on him only if you show the ones he made on you
You can only take his mask off after you've made him come once
Uses a lot of toys both in and out of the bedroom
His pointy ears are his weakspot and he hates that you figured that out
If you're being too much of a brat he will make you wear a toy up your pussy for the entire next day, and you better keep it down when he activates the vibrations, you don't want everyone on staff to know what a slut you are
Will fuck you in his office any chance he gets
Knows you wear full bondage gear under your clothes when you feel extra kinky
Has two phones, one for work, and the other full of nudes, videos and voice mails you sent to each other
Never masturbates because he feels like the only time pleasure should be had is when you're doing it to each other, toys are of course and so is mutual masturbation, but nothing solo
