Well, this has been going around between everyone and their mom, so here's my go!

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon.Okay, so the fandoms... Star Wars (feel free to go beyond movie characters if you are so inclined), Star Trek (TOS), LOTR, Harry Potter, Farscape, Battlestar

Oh boy. This is gonna be fun. I warn you, my Crowley is significantly dorkier than how most people write him...

Crowley:

1. He wants to be the Last Action Hero. When he's alone in his flat he has a tendency to stand around in his naught but his underpants and do fake action sequences that don't look remotely impressive. He often knocks plant pots over. On accident.

2. Crowley's fear of Hell is not really about burning pits and screaming and torture, it's the fact that the place is completely stagnant. Combining the fact that his original Earth form was that of a snake and the fact that he's lived among humans for so many years now, the idea of not changing scares the immortal daylights out of him. He doesn't worry about Aziraphale because the angel does change, just at slower rate (Crowley knows that Aziraphale partly does this to annoy him ever since that comment he made during the Roman Empire).

3. He really does like watching reality TV and gameshows and the like. And it's not only because he secretly squees at the thought of how much he's had to do with it; he actually likes it. Because, as we know very well, he actually likes people, at their best and their worst. Because he knows better than anyone that worst is relative. His taste in music also is not supposed to indicate taste in all that is refined and elegant; rather, his taste in music reflects what goes against the mold and challenges modern perception. People seem to forget that there was a time when Beethoven was wild and obscene to many. ;) Aziraphale seemed to go the same way for a while, but that suddenly stopped with the beebop, and Crowley never did figure out why.

Aziraphale:

1. Aziraphale doesn't really like a lot of people, though he has trouble admitting it. Well, he does like them in a general, sweeping way, but not as individuals usually. And it's not necessarily due to cynicism. In fact, it's partly Crowley's fault; Aziraphale seems to think that you have to know someone for a good long while before you can actually know them in the most important ways. People don't live long enough. So he seldom enjoys their company unless he quickly "clicks" with them, for lack of a better term.

2. One of the only ruins in the world that he cannot visit again are the Minoan ruins on Crete. He has no difficulty in observing the places that humans destroy through wars and neglect, but to see such splendor ruined by the Earth itself seems cruel and dishonest to him. He much prefers the brimstone method when God allows destruction; at least he is showing his face in some manner. (God finds it amusing that Aziraphale assumes that fire and brimstone is 'his method' - he hasn't been directly involved in Earth affairs since Eden.)

3. Aziraphale has never quite understood God's particular enjoyment of the Sound of Music. It never seemed very heavenly to him, and he cannot think why that musical would be more appropriate than, say, Carousel or even something epic like Aida.* He had never thought to guess that it had something to do with the slight crush God happens to have on Julie Andrews.

*Not that he particularly enjoys either of those, in any case. The only musical he has been known to truly enjoy - and this is only when he is good and tipsy - is My Fair Lady, and that's just because he always has found the Cockney accent dreadfully amusing. Oh, and he does happen to like Fiddler On The Roof too, though he's never sure that isn't wrong.
