I’m sure other people have noticed this, but I love that both human children and goats are in the shot when he’s talking about not killing kids.
And then in s2 Companion to Owls, he saves both kinds of kids.

Highway to Pail Day 5
[Day 1] [Prev] [Next] @do-it-with-style-events
February 5: If you need a boat, I Noah guy.
Crawly didn't save the children.
By the time she'd talked herself into trying, it was already too late. The ark was closed and warded against demonic interference, and she didn't have the kind of power that would let her walk on water or teleport with another living thing. Her miracles could be impressive to a human, but barely registered on Hell's scales.
She watched as the corpses of the valley floated to the surface.
She saw the old man who sold oranges on the third stall from the corner in the market. Young women she'd tempted to a bit of gossip the other day. A little boy named Levi who had just turned four, and had helped his sister Sarai braid Crawly’s hair with flowers last week. A farmer named Toviyah who she couldn't tempt to adultery; she'd been reprimanded for failing that assignment a year ago. A teenager she'd tempted into stealing some food from the kitchen where he worked who had made it a habit, a good gluttony-and-greed one-two. Ayalah, the woman who had turned the temptation tables on Crowley and shown her how to drink.
An infant, born just a four days before. Babies all looked the same to her usually, but this one was born with only one arm, which is pretty distinctive. He hadn't had his bris; Leah, his mother, hadn't named him yet: she had told Crawly she been planning to call her first son Noah. No relation to the man who was apparently God's chosen; it would have been in honor of her grandfather, who'd died suddenly about two years ago. Crawly had been supposed to tempt her into disobeying him, and had wound up comforting her in her grief instead.
Why was this Noah condemned to drown while Noah ben Lamech was allowed to live? What possible sins could a baby have committed?
Crawly watched, and watched, and watched, until the corpses sank again below the waters.
She'd seen divine punishment against humans before. It hadn't happened a lot so far, but the world was still pretty young, and God had seemed to get a taste for it when She'd cast half her angelic children to Hell. But she hadn't been around the other ones much. She'd been able to shrug it off as Her capriciousness, Her cruelty, something Crawly would never be able to understand but might as well accept. What was the word that the angel Aziraphale had used? "Ineffable."
But it was different, when it was people you knew. Crawly had been living here for three years. It was her fault this time, and not just by proxy of the apple thing.
And Crawly thought that maybe, just maybe, if she hadn't dithered, she could have saved some of them. Even if only the baby Noah.
Too late.
Author's note:
My information about Jewish naming customs comes from this website. Apparently male circumcision wasn't commanded until Abraham, but since this is Good Omens I decided to be anachronistic about it.
I tried to make sure I used the Hebrew version of all names, checking with Wikipedia or Behind The Name for accuracy, but since I can't read Hebrew I can't guarantee it.

Unicorns of the Bible
Tumblr media
Job 39:9 (KJV) "Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?"
Job 39:10 (KJV) "Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?" Psalm 92:10 (KJV) "But my horn shalt though exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil." Deuteronomy 33:17 (KJV) "His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh." Numbers 23:22 (KJV) “God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.” Numbers 24:8 (KJV) “God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.” Isaiah 34:7 (KJV) "And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness." Psalm 29:6 (KJV) "He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn." Note: When considering the most popular English translations of the Christian Bible - including the Hebrew texts, of which all of these verses originate- the King James Version (KJV) is considered to be one of the least accurate to the original language, despite using the Masoretic Hebrew as the reference text, which is used as the authorative Hebrew. No other popular translations use "unicorns." Instead, the reader will usually see "wild ox."

hi, i saw your post about grigori angels and was wondering why this disproves the kokabiel and baraquiel!crowley theories? sorry if this has been asked before, or it's obvious!
hey anon, nothing to be sorry about!!
i wouldn't necessarily say the fact kokabiel and baraquiel are grigori disproves the theory, if only because we don't know how the grigori story fits into the good omens canon- and playing fast and loose with the bible stories is always an option so it's still a possibility, just an unlikely one if we follow the orginal biblical canon; as the grigori arrive much later on, and their 'fall' is not the same one as we see with 'lucifer's angels'
regardless, the grigori are fascinating to consider- especially in the gomens universe! they're unique amongst angels, and still vastly different from demons- the only ones who well and truly get humans
i'll start by quickly sharing the grigori lore, then bring it back to crowley
The Grigori
the grigori are detailed in the book of enoch, and their time is after eden, after the beginning. with sin now being an option for humans, the grigori were created and sent to earth to understand human behaviour
their name translates to 'the watchers'. an apt title for their role: watchers over humanity. the reason for this is debated, but fundamentally we come down to the important fact that the grigori, with their unique position as Watchers, understood humans better than any other angel- which was the whole point. why humans sinned, and how to influence them towards virtue and faith while still allowing humans to maintain their free will.
then, things began to change. the grigori started to interact with humans, taught us of technology and knowledge that we would soon discover ourselves. they later began to marry humans. they copulated with humans- from this, we had the nephilim. i don't need to reiterate how that particular tale ends. at least, not for the nephilim.
The Second Fall
here's the fun part. at least, in the context of talking about 'Fallen Angels'
in the eyes of god, the grigori had left their place of belonging, heaven, in favour of humans and earth. for this act, they were to fall.
except, the grigori didn't fall. at least, not in the sense we tend to define falling.
jude, verse six, outlines as much. 'and the angels that kept not with their first estate but left with their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgement of the great day'
it would be more accurate to say the grigori were cast out, that they are in 'time out'- for they were not stripped of their grace, nor did they fall to hell/become demons as lucifer's angels did. instead their punishment is to spend the rest of their years on earth, until the day of judgement. for all intents and purposes they are still angels, just not yet allowed back into heaven.
(when we consider that the grigori had already been living on earth, amongst humans, there's something to be said for wondering if this is really a punishment at all. god really fumbled the bag on that one, or maybe it was intentional. the grigori tale is full of interesting debates!)
from what i gathered, this event is [colloquially] referred to as 'the second fall'. it happens after the original fall, the better known one. a long time after- given the grigori are after eden.
the important takeaways about the grigori come down to this: they are unique amongst angels for understanding humans, they are the parents of the nephilim, and they 'fell' from heaven- but not in the same way
Fitting with Good Omens/Angel!Crowley theories
if we're following the biblical canon here, crowley couldn't have been kokabiel or baraqiel for they are both grigori. they didn't fall with lucifer, not as the-angel-that-crowley-was did. by the time of kokabiel and baraquiel, crowley the demon already existed.
the grigori came after the beginning, once humans had already left eden. their 'fall' is referred to as the 'second fall', nevermind the fact that they didn't really fall at all. the grigori aren't in hell, they aren't demons- they're still angels. contrastingly, crowley fell, and very much is a demon- he's part of the first [real] fall, one of lucifer's angels. let's also remember that a very important part of the grigori story is how they fell for, and into bed with, humans- and procreated with them. somehow, this isn't something i envision for the-angel-that-was-crowley
this said, crowley (and aziraphale) were definitely about on earth during the time this was happening. they witnessed the flood themselves (the incident designed for the purpose of destroying the nephilim, the offspring of grigori and humans), and i'm sure at least aziraphale would have heard about the 'second fall', if not also crowley along with the rest of hell (also, imagine how pissed you'd be if you took a million-light-year dive into sulphur, came out a demon of hell, only for these 'watcher angels' to also be called fallen, when all they did was get put in time out for several millenia. the unfairness has to sting)
i like to imagine crowley had a form of healthy tolerance-bordering-appreciation for grigori angels- they value humanity's free will, shared knowledge with humans that often centred on creative and technological developments, even when this meant punishment by god
what makes the grigori so interestingly unique is their understanding of humans and what may drive them to sin. it's a skill that even aziraphale, with his appreciation for humanity, hasn't quite grasped yet
i don't think we'll ever actually see the grigori in good omens, since they're not too widely known of, but they fit so perfect to the good omens theme of discussing human morality and behaviour that we see debated by crowley and aziraphale. they'd both have very different, very strong, feelings about the grigori and their fate- which is fun to think about

I've just realized something.
Those clear moments where Crowley and Aziraphale are protecting each other with their wings is cute and all.
But why did Aziraphale protect him from the rain??
Is it because it's a Holy type of rain and therefore Crowley can't be caught in it?? And every drop thereafter is Holy.
Does that mean he's been bobbing around for 6000 years dodging the rain because he might sizzle??
And then, when it comes to water; does he just avoid that as well??
Because if we imagine the scene for S3 and their reunion and we imagine that it'll be all dramatic with kissing in the rain, it would just cause him to burn. Unless Aziraphale covers him again and they go for cover.
I have no clue and I might be forgetting a few things; I'm a few drinks into the night and I have regrets.
(Also, cannot believe Grammarly is fucking working whilst my eyesight is failing.)

Good Omens' Noah's ark scene in English and Japanese:
English!Crowley: But they’re drowning everybody else? — Not the kids. You can't kill kids. …well, that's more the kind of thing you'd expect my lot to do. Japanese!Crowley: But they’re drowning everybody else? Including children? They’re also killing the children!? I wouldn't think even demons would go that far!
Losing the "kids" pun was unsurprising, but the tweak from saying "this feels like my side's work" to "this goes beyond demonic" stood out in terms of characterization. What does that imply regarding Crowley's feelings towards "his" side?

Crowley and the Flood
So, approximately how many people/children did Crowley turn into animals to smuggle onto Noah's Ark during the Great Flood?
I mean, technically, Noah had one pair of each unclean animal and seven pairs of each clean animal. But the show displayed the traditional "two of everything" motif associated with Noah's arc.
So I'm thinking the other six pairs of clean animals were all people Crowley turned into animals to smuggle onto the ship.
Thoughts?

Hello! I have question about Crowley look in the Job Memory. Ofc we all love Bildad, but why his appearance is so different from S1 flashbacks from Noah's Ark and crucifixion, when Job Memory was between these events? In S1, Crowley has basically the same hair from Eden until the Crucifixion and also he didn't feel the need to wear glasses.
Three thousand years pass between Noah's Ark and the crucifixion. It never occurred to me that Crowley kept the same look for three thousand years when he normally reinvents himself every decade.

GOOD OMENS in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER (a fanfic helper)
I tried to find this online, but I only found bits and pieces here and there. This should be a very good tool when writing fanfics, or just for understanding the narrative - so, here's my best attempt at a timeline for the canonized events in the show. Let me know if I missed any, or if something is wrong! CHRONOLOGY of GOOD OMENS 4004 BC: Before the Beginning (Sunday, October 21st, Nowhere, no name for Crowley) Aziraphale meets Crowley as an angel in Heaven pre-Beginning and Crowley makes a star factory. 4004 BC: The Eden Wall (Rather more than 7 days later, Crawley) Crowley finds Aziriaphale on the Eden wall and they talk about right and wrong. Aziraphale gave his sword to Adam and lies to God about it. Eve looks about 6 months pregnant. 3004 BC: Noah’s Ark (Ancient Mesopotamia, Crawley) Crowley finds Aziraphale in front of the Ark and they talk about how God will drown kids. 2500 BC: A Companion to Owls (Land of Uz, Crawley) Crowley and Aziraphale work together to save Job's kids from God. 1353 - 1336 BC: Nefertiti's reign as queen, during which, at some point, Aziraphale did a magic trick for her. (Thebes/Luxor, ancient Egypt, Crawley) (unfilmed, just mentioned) We know he fooled her with a "lone caraway seed and three cowry shells" 33 AD: Crucifixion of Jesus (Golgotha, Palestine, name change to Crowley) Crowley (canonically confirmed female form) tells Aziraphale she showed Jesus the world. 41 AD: Oysters in Rome (41 AD) Aziraphale playfully tempts Crowley to go eat oysters with him at Petronus' restaurant. If this isn't innuendo, I don't know what is. 537 AD: Medieval England/King Arthur (Kingdom of West Essex) Aziraphale as a knight of the Round Table meets the Black Knight (Crowley) who suggests the Arrangement for the first time. Aziraphale says no. 1020: The Arrangement is agreed to (unfilmed, just mentioned in the book or by Neil) I can't find the exact date - tell me if this is wrong? 1040 - 1601: Crowley and Aziraphale act on their arrangement "dozens of times", as mentioned in the Globe Theatre. As far as I've understood this arrangement (correct me if I'm wrong) it means that whenever they receive orders from Heaven or Hell, they tell the other, compare notes, and if it takes place in the same area, they agree that just one of them has to go do both tasks. Either that, or both tell their respective bosses that the task has been done, because they would have cancelled each other out either way. Letters would probably be too risky communication other than "Let's meet up at....", so I assume they have seen a lot of each other during this time. 1500s: Something related to the Catholic Church and the Papacy (Rome?). (Unfilmed idea) My theory: Raphael/Crowley (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino) works as painter in Rome from 1508 until his "death" in 1520. He was invited to Rome by Pope Julius II and was immediately commissioned to work on a series of frescoes for the Pope's private library in the Vatican Palace. Crowley can't enter consecrated spaces. Hilarity ensues. This would explain his conversation about helicopters (in the book) with Leonardo da Vinci. 1601: Hamlet (Globe Theatre, London) Aziraphale and Crowley meet inconspicuously as Shakespeare struggles with Hamlet (both actor and play), and Aziraphale agrees to do both his and Crowley's assignments in Edinburgh. 1650: Aziraphale does his first apology dance (unknown) Nothing more is known about this event. 1655: Agnes Nutter's book is published, and doesn't sell a single copy. 1656: Agnes Nutter is burned (Lancashire, England, 1656) After writing the Nice and Accurate Prophecies, she is burned by Pulsifer's ancestor. 1793: French Revolution (The Bastille, Paris) Aziraphale puts himself in harm's way by dressing like a nobleman while looking for crepes in revolutionary Paris, just so that Crowley will save him. 1800s: Aziraphale opens his bookshop. (Soho, London) I can't figure out when, it just says 19th century online. Crowley asks if Aziraphale wasn't supposed to open a bookshop when he saves him in the Bastille.
1827: The Resurrectionist (Edinburgh, October) Aziraphale and Crowley discuss morality, meet Elspeth and Wee Morag - and the body snatching doctor.
1827 - ????: Crowley sleeps or is in Hell We don't actually know long or exactly when, but in the book it's mentioned he only got up to go to the toilet once. Why?
1862: St. James’s Park, London Crowley is paranoid, Aziraphale won't give him holy water. 1862 - ????: Wild West meetup (Unfilmed idea) Neil Gaiman just had the idea, it wasn't filmed.
1928: Crowley buys the Bentley And he keeps it in tip-top shape until the Not-Apocalypse. 1933: Aziraphale gets his driving license (unknown location)
1941: WW2 Blitz (London) Church bombing, magic show, photo taken, shades of dark and light grey.
1967: Aziraphale gives Crowley holy water (Soho, London) ...And says Crowley goes too fast for him. He does it because Crowley is about to orchestrate the robbery of a church. One of the robbers is Witchfinder Sergeant Shadwell, who we meet later. He offers his 'army' to Crowley.
1980s: Crowley designs the M25 (Hell) No other demons understand the whole thing about constant, low-level, effortless evil.
2007: Three children are born in a hospital in Tadfield The old switch-a-roo.
2007 - later that night: Godfather meetup (Soho, ca 2009) They're drunk, talking about whale brains and agreeing to raise Warlock as nanny and gardener.
2012 - 2018: Raising Warlock (Winfield House, England) He's way too normal! 2018: Not-Apocalypse (Saturday, August 11th, Tadfield Airbase) Do I need to explain this? 2019 - 2023: Beelzebub and Gabriel start meeting each other. We see them meet in an American bar, a Russian café and in the Resurrectionist in Edinburgh. 2020: Lockdown (London) Aziraphale goes on about cake, Crowley wants to come by and watch him eat. Aziraphale chickens out.
2023: Jimbriel (Soho, London) A naked archangel with amnesia shows up on Aziraphale's doorstep. --- UPDATED AND IMPROVED
