I’m sorry Crowley, was fourteenth century England not interesting enough for you? Was there not enough intrigue and assasinations and usurpations?
What on Earth were you doing the whole time?

The “the 14th century was boring” thing is 100% bullshit/Crowley fronting. There is a line, closer to the end of the book, and iirc it goes like this: “He hadn’t felt like this since the 14th century.” The context of the line? How he feels about THE IMPENDING APOCALYPSE.

Crowley LIES TO HIMSELF in his narration. It is his thing, at least towards the start of the book (watch him develop past that). And it was probably not even the intrigue and assassinations and usurpations. Instead, consider that the 14th century is the time in the second millenium when the Black Death hit Europe hardest, with an estimated death toll of 50-75% of the population.

Another line or footnote mentions Crowley took one look at the Spanish Inquisition and then left to get himself drunk for the rest of the century. Current data suggests he does not deal well with seeing huge amounts of death and suffering. And hundreds of years later, apparently, aggressively denies to himself how much it affected him. Because he’s a Demon™, and therefore ought to not be bothered by that.

To all the new fans who didn’t read the book or listened to the audio drama: Crowley is NOT cool, I repeat, the demon Crowley is absolutely not cool. And Aziraphale is an asshole.

David Tennant when asked which of his characters of the past resemble Crowley:
“The only character, I think, is Peter Vincent in the movie Fright Night. He’s a bit rock-n-roll and he thinks he’s really cool, but actually, he is not cool at all. He is rather soft and rather sweet underneath a very swaggery exterior. So there are elements of that to Crowley.” (NYCC)

to clear up misconceptions about Crowley being cool:

Crowley once heard that you can make plants grow better by talking to them. So he decided to put this into practice. Once a month he looks around his apartment and selects the most weedy and underperforming plant, then carries it around to show all the other plants while talking aloud very menacingly  about what a shame it was that this one couldn’t make the cut,  then leave and close the door very ominously behind him.

All of Crowley’s plants grow fantastically well because they are the most terrified plants in London. But I would genuinely ask you to consider the vision of David Tennant, wearing those glasses, walking around an apartment holding a potted plant while making Godfather-style pronouncements to other plants, before making any decisions about Crowley being cool.
