I figured out a simple guide to the alignment chart last night

Lawful: Rules matter more to me than individuals.
Chaotic: Individuals matter more to me than rules.

Good: Other people’s well-being is more important than my own.
Evil: My own well-being is more important than other people’s.

Neutrals: My opinion of what is more important is determined on a case-by-case basis.

So a Lawful Good character’s guiding moral philosophy might be “I follow the rules because the rules keep people safe, even if they are sometimes inconvenient or harmful to me or other individuals.” A Chaotic Evil character’s guiding moral philosophy would be like “Screw the rules and screw you.”

This is a very succint way of explaining a long post from a few months ago. It is also kind of how it was originally written, and is what I use. No more “Is he chaotic neutral or chaotic evil” questions.

It also makes Evil a playable alignment

a helpful tutorial

I was taking with my friend about good omens and we were wondering how the hell aziraphale-as-crowley managed to get into that bath without getting his socks wet and so I drew this ‘helpful’ guide.

I like to imagine that all the demons had to just awkwardly stand around watching him clamber around getting into this bathtub… @neil-gaiman can you confirm?

This is even better than the people trying to get Good Omens cancelled on Netflix. I might confirm it when I stop laughing.

I have been thinking about this scene a lot and while I appreciate the OP’s version as well as the very fine illustration, I can’t help but slightly disagree.  I have always seen Crowley stand at the foot edge of the tub, raise his arms dramatically, falling backward in slow motion with an evil grin on his face, making a massive splash like the dramatic bitch that he is.  It took a minor miracle to not get his socks wet, but it was worth it.  Now I need an illustration of the entry I described for comparison…. for science of course.

a comparison! (for science, of course)

…okay, but can we consider this option? for arguments sake?

I imagined a lot of things while we were making Good Omens. I never ever once imagined this thread.

celestial observer & infernal times have the same page design so clearly they are owned by the same parent company and I can only conclude that it exists independently of either heaven or hell, reporting the news from a neutral standpoint for audiences of both angels and demons, and is where I will go when I die

somewhere in the middle floors of heaven and hell are a scrappy team of dead reporters constantly fighting their bosses to put news about american politics in the celestial observer and arts/entertainment coverage in the infernal times and they are my new favorite characters
