Does anyone else think about Satan calling Crowley “darling” in the car “radio call”? Because it creeps me out. It creeped me out the first time and still creeps me out now…

Add to that the mind rape vibe of the entire downloading information into Crowley’s brain thing (which almost gets him discorporated by lorry) and it’s even worse.

Nah, that creeped me out as well.

Now, to be fair, I think the “darling” is there to mimic Freddie Mercury’s speech pattern.

But it’s the words, the fact that Satan is speaking them, the general mind-rapey vibes of the scene, and the fact that Crowley says “They love me down there” coupled with the fact that he’s also terrified of Satan.

It was even creepier in the TV show script, in the final version they cut this bit:

CROWLEY The M25. Yes. Well, glad it went down so well. Yup. Leave it to me.

SATAN (V.O.) That is what we are doing, Crowley. But if anything goes wrong, then those involved will suffer greatly. Even you, Crowley. Especially you.

Crowley nods. He’s terrified.

That’s… an interesting choice of words.

Plus, the song. Beware, this is overreaching so far my arms may fall off, but. While there are many interpretations of Bohemian Rhapsody, the show specifically chooses to play this bit immediately after Satan speaks:

I see a little silhouetto of a man

Scaramouche scaramouche will you do the fandango

Thunderbolt and lightning- very very frightening me

The Scaramouche is a character in Italian Commedia dell'Arte. He’s a clown dressed in black, and he’s either a sort of wily evil gentleman or an fiendish, boisterous but funny character. The fandango is obviously a dance.

You could therefore stretch the lyrics and the context enough to say that Satan, through Queen, is inviting Crowley to dance with the Devil.

There, I officially grasped at too many straws, someone please take the Internet away from me.

(But also the following part of the song they quote in the book literally goes “we will not let you go - let me go!” and those two are the only parts in a 5 minutes song referenced in the book. So maybe I’m not crazy after all.)

Oh yes. Ohhh yes. I’ve been wanting to dig into this for a while now, but I really wasn’t sure how to go about it. But now that it’s come up…

Of course this is all wild speculation since the only interaction we actually see with them is a brief conversation over the radio, and the airbase, where Satan is very much not focused on Crowley. Through the power of extrapolation, though, you can draw some very unsettling conclusions. There’s often a downside to being the head honcho’s ‘favorite’, after all. Especially if your boss is literally Satan.

Very interesting! There’s not enough in canon, of course, for set conclusions. But it very much seems that, at the very least—

Crowley doesn’t have any officially powerful position in Hell.

And yet, he is somewhat of a favourite with Satan.

Personally, I tend to attribute it to Crowley’s imagination. Satan saw that in Crowley and deliberately recruited him. He ensured that Crowley did not and would not ever obtain an official position of power in Hell because Satan saw all that imagination as a potential threat. Yet, he wanted to make use of it too. So stick him up on Earth where it could be useful. Keep him close and favoured. But also frightened and powerless.

Yet… there’s so much we don’t know. Plenty of room for interpretation.

Something big that stood out to me about all of this is the way people rarely seem to acknowledge how petrified Crowley is of Hell. 

Satan is obvious, I mean look at the scene at the airbase. The second Crowley feels that the literal Devil is coming he falls to his knees and cries out. Most have concluded that was because he was in pain, and I think that was certainly apart of it, but I think a big part of it was also fear. I mean, Anathama felt him too and while it makes sense she wouldn’t feel it as much since she’s human, she didn’t even seem to be half as effected as Crowley. I think that’s because Crowley wasn’t only doubling over in pain, but because he was panicking and tried to curl up into himself. 

Another thing to note is Beelzebub. When they show up at the airbase Crowley is a lot less snarky than he usually is. He seems to sort of give up until Aziraphale takes the lead. He’s practically shaking when he bows down to them and I think that bow was also a way to give an excuse to avert his eyes. 

I appreciate @whispsofwind sharing that note from the Script Book too. In the car, when Hell is talking to Crowley over the radio, it specifically notes that Crowley is terrified. And there’s a lot of little notes like that in the book too. 

So yeah. I think Crowley played cool and unbothered not only as a way to look seductive to the humans (and Aziraphale) but also as a sort of coping mechanism to bury the fear he was constantly dealing with all the time. 

Oh yes!! In a nasty place like Hell is portrayed to be— all violence and mob rule— the last thing you want to do is show your fear. You have to play it cool to survive. But he is terrified.

I enjoy fics in which his early success in the Garden has guaranteed his notoriety in Hell forever – but in a bit of a target-on-your-back way. Like, he’s just another run-of-the-mill demon, but because he made the right trouble early on, everybody knows his name and Satan thinks he’s terrific. So he takes credit for things he didn’t do and comes up with flashy presentations to keep them thinking he’s their very best on earth.

But it’s not exactly fun to get a lot of attention in Hell.

Best to stay topside, where his reputation can be a thing of legend down below and he rarely has to interact with his fellow demons, which might make them (like Hastur and Ligur) start to suspect he’s not all that.

Wow, last time I checked it was at ~700. Even missed the 1,000 mark  Whoops.

Anyway, thanks for following my dirty mind!

I wanna add cos tweets are too short.

Imagine you wanna introduce villain like Thanos to the world & its supposed to be the most feared & biggest & most favorite villain,you plan this for years…

And then unexpectadily a young unknown english actor comes & brings to life a villain, an antihero that people love more than hero and despite putting your villain dramaticaly in post credit scene,people still mostly ask about that other guy they were not supposed to care for and what happened to him after attack on NY.

They must have been angry how people fell for Loki! I mean even Bob Iger said noone was gonna remember Loki 6 minutes after Thor movie.

This villain,who was supposed to be just mad brother of Thor,got such a power they literally had to change script to TDW and therefor outcome of the entire MCU & even delete his one single scene in AoU because he gained such a fanbase.

Look at the facts. Posters. Trailers. They have been cutting his screentime to the minimum! At the end,despite being in several movies & literally shaping everyone’s fate since 2011 he got like 30 sec of screentime & didnt get into the final battle (characters who were in 1 movie before did) despite Thanos torturing him & we can say fucking up his life.

What im saying is Marvel cant admit how beloved and famous Loki is. That noone gives a shit about villain they wanted masses to love.

Thanos is only remembered for the fun nicknames we all gave him. Like the Purple Grape, Purple Dildohead, etc. Marvel can die mad about it.

The sad thing is - it could have been so good it they just rolled with it.

I mean - they wanted a villain everybody loved! Who cares if it the one they planned it to be? This is what we would call ‚flexibility‘! They could have given Loki this amazing, ground shaking backstory of (lemme count) … five (!!!!) full time movies before he turns out to be the ultimate savior in endgame! They could have revealed his tragedy! How he suffered! How baffled the avengers are when they finally understand! And the force of this ‚from enemies to friends‘ trophy!! Teaming up with tony! The avengers theme on full volume!!!! (Perhaps with the main theme carried by a horn or some other instrument that sticks out of the orchestra-sound? You know to show his class and royalty within the heroic theme?) damn.

I would have invested all my pocket money for one trip to the cinema after the other… but now I‘m sitting here regretting having seen the Russo’s crap.

@alwida10 exactly my thoughts. They should have been bussinessmen and just go with the flow and milk this thing. Use Loki as much as they could. Instaed…its like their own pride didnt let them.

Aah, so many new followers! I’ve got more ideas coming, which I hope you’ll enjoy. I never expected anyone to see this blog, so this is really cool. :)

I’ve woken up to a lot of asks today demanding I do things - very rudely I might add. I just wanted to make a few things clear:

Yes, it was fun last night to follow direction. Yes, it was a turn on to follow direction. Yes, I enjoy playing the role of the good girl who will do anything for attention and to satisfy everyone. But it’s a role, it’s not who I am. If I follow an ask it’s because I choose to.

I am not tumblr’s sub. I am not your sub. I am not YOUR princess. And you certainly are not my dom.

Not only that, but I don’t sell content. What I post is not posted to satisfy you specifically. It makes me happy, it’s my hobby.

So, if you have a request, pls go ahead and send it to me. But have some respect. I don’t owe you anything.

I’m a very nice person, but the way some of you are demanding stuff is just pissing me off and making me want to ignore all of you. So, please go ahead and ruin it for me and for everyone else.

Honestly, I think I’m just going to go back to reblogging.

I really hate doing this. I’m so ashamed and embarrassed but…

I’m in a bit of a rut thanks to doctor visits, immunotherapy, medication, and to top it all off COVID. I’ve had to go over the amount of sick/personal days I’m given each year so my pay gets docked each time I have to call out. It’s leaving me with basically nothing after I end up paying for everything I need.

I really just need a little help to get by. I am hoping to get out of this little pickle soon. Even if you can’t donate, I’d appreciate if you can pass this along. It would really mean a lot to me.

Thanks

Thanks to everyone who has donated/shared this post so far! It means so much to me
