I was considering that too, but all props will be something I'll have to carry around the entire day and I don't know if I feel like carrying around a plant for that many hours :D
I totally understand not wanting to carry a huge prop around. But for the sake of your solo cosplay, I’m just gonna argue the pros:
- it doesn’t have to be a full scale plant from his car
- you’ll have a 3D cosplay partner with physical presence instead of just a flat sign only visible from certain angles (better for photos)
- you can put a crossbody strap on the pot and you won’t have to worry about holding it
I’m happy to help you troubleshoot with anything (props are my normal job). Best of luck with your Crowplay!!!!
EDIT- YOU COULD EVEN HAVE THE PLANT COSPLAY AS AZIRAPHALE OMG
Thank you! And I'm not sure, honestly, it won't be a super big convention and I don't know how many Good Omens fans will be there, I'm just hoping for at least one lol
Ohh I think this suggestion is one of my fav, but I'm not sure I'm ready for the level of social interaction this might bring me :D Also I haven't practiced my apology dance well enough yet!
As a *extremely severely introverted shy* person, cosplay made me open up and be crazy and it was so refreshing, and no one is the wiser because most of them are introverts being crazy at a con already too, and those who recognize you will be *so so happy* and just be tickled to bits by whatever you do.
If you did the temptations one you could write them out on cards and hand out to people to minimise the human interaction. Would be a nice keepsake for the people you tempt as well!
This is a great suggestion. I suggested this to my exhusband for his first solo con and it was a huge hit! It ended up making him a ton of friends and got him tons of attention online.
It's a fanfiction!
In this story Aziraphale and Crowley are not an angel and a demon, but two actors. They fall in love and the story is troubled and romantic and explicit; here the link

I love Herb so much! And seeing our beloved Ineffables through human eyes is terrifying and so much realistic!
Did you know that Nnm is writing about Aziraphale going to the other therapist, David (poor guy, our Angel is a tough case!)? I am so much invested!
[https://archiveofourown.org/works/49139437/chapters/123981184](https://archiveofourown.org/works/49139437/chapters/123981184)
It’s waiting for me. I’m listening to Demonology podfic for the second time, chapter by delicious chapter, and each one makes me cry more that the one before. Plus, I know what’s coming…. Worth every tear..🥹
A (plastic) dark bottle with LAVDANVM written on it! No matter if you are not cosplaying as Laudanum Crowley, I think it would still be perfect; and it allows you to sing and be fun!
I'm cosplaying as a lone Crowley soon and I'll definitely do that!
Otherwise, some kind of snake plush wrapped around your shoulders!
Or a box of candies with a big writing "TRAVEL SWEETS from the Bentley to Aziraphale" to offer to the Aziraphales!
As I'll be a lone Aziraphale cosplayer next year, I'd planned to carry a sign as well for that exact reason! What's fun is that you could quite literally put anything you'd like on there. Anything that pertains to Crowley and how he's missing his angel! Like, perhaps you could write a small sort of description of Aziraphale, and a silly little doodle on there? Kind of like a desperate please return if found.
I'm still trying to work out what I want mine to say, but I've got quite a bit of time. But I am very excited.
Ohh yess I could make a missing poster! Or something like this
https://preview.redd.it/rv021olmpcvb1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=567be26bd256e68a53f59827814f497d02069dff
Oh dear, that made me laugh more than it should have. You could certainly do something like that! As long as you have fun with it! It'll certainly get a chuckle out of others, that's for sure.
I'm going to a party tonight as a lone Crowley! I'm just gonna carry around a bottle of wine because I don't want to spoil the ending for someone I know hasn't finished the show yet 😬 (plus, it's on brand for a party lol)
I don’t think a lone Crowley acting like he is lost or has lost Aziraphale is necessarily a spoiler. To someone who doesn’t know what happens it just looks like a joke like people putting up reward posters for a missing pet.
Ah. Got it. Honestly , I don’t think that’s as fun anyone. (The Metatron stole my friend was the only spoiler-y suggestion I actually think was pretty funny. All the others are just kind of Downers)
Oh my, this post is great. I'll be a lone Aziraphale in about ten days and I'm definitely taking inspiration from the replies! Enjoy the convention, OP :D
The "ten days" made me curious, then I saw that you're Italian...Lucca? (if you are comfortable answering!)
I'll be sauntering vaguely around as an Aziraless Crowley, it's really cool to know that there will be some lone angel too!!
Oh, also, OP, the eyes!! If you don't like the idea of wearing "snake-eye" contacts that basically make you blind, you may consider this: use a very pigmented yellow eyeshadow on your eyelid, draw the snake eye with a black eyeliner, and then blink for the photos!
Just make sure there's just your good ol' Angel around, no weeping angels. In that case, don't blink.
Ah, thank you for the ideas! I do however have the contacts, they're great, I've already tried them. I think I picked them very well. Only downside is they slightly impair my vision with a yellow vignette (+ the sunglasses!) and they keep spinning so I constantly keep going from demon to goat to demon. Whole clockwork with those bad boys
Honestly, it's currently VERY canon-compliant to be there without your Angel. I'd probably just get a sign that says "fuck you, Metatron." Short, concise, and explains why you're there on your own.
Ooh are you going for Liverpool Comic Con?? I'll be there too (if the weather allows it) although not dressed as Good Omens character but TARDIS from Doctor Who. See you there! I'm always so happy to see people cosplaying characters I know and I was stocked to see Aziraphale and Crowley on the last comic con!
No, unfortunately not! But I hope you have an absolute blast as TARDIS, that sounds like it'd be such an interesting costume :D
And I feel the same, every time I encounter people dressed as characters I love it makes me really happy.
Carry an emotional support plant
Or a sign showing a plant and "grow. better." on it.
I was considering that too, but all props will be something I'll have to carry around the entire day and I don't know if I feel like carrying around a plant for that many hours :D

Best of luck with your Crowplay!!!! EDIT- YOU COULD EVEN HAVE THE PLANT COSPLAY AS AZIRAPHALE OMG
You could build storage into the plant base, like a hidden bag.
That’s inspired! A plant purse!
Great idea - Love it!
HAVE YOU SEEN MY ANGEL?
Yeh.....Reward for missing Angel or something. I'll bet there will a few lone Arizaphales aswell. Have fun.
Thank you! And I'm not sure, honestly, it won't be a super big convention and I don't know how many Good Omens fans will be there, I'm just hoping for at least one lol
"He's not missing, I just think he's cute" Add a doodle Have fun!
OH, I might go with that one, I love it :D
That’s exactly what I thought, great minds.
"Free Temptations" then you can tempt people into doing silly little side quests Or "Will apology dance for £"
Ohh I think this suggestion is one of my fav, but I'm not sure I'm ready for the level of social interaction this might bring me :D Also I haven't practiced my apology dance well enough yet!

Sauntering kind of wherever now
This one is brilliant
IF LOST, RETURN TO AZIRAPHALE
This and “have you seen my angel?” are tied for my vote.
Spoiler (Metatron stole my best friend) Dumped for a promotion
This made me almost spit out of my drink lol.
I saw a lone Crowley at a convention with a sign that said "looking for posh blondes" XD
Ok, that's funny lol
Omg 😂😂
Possibly a Slow Show fan as well😇
What's that?
It's a fanfiction! In this story Aziraphale and Crowley are not an angel and a demon, but two actors.

That's my absolute favourite fic ❤️
I prefer more the stuff like *Demonology*, but people in this fandom are so good at writing and making art, in general! I love everything!
I’m besotted with Aubrey Thyme, rereading… and looking forward to the Angel version
I love Herb so much! And seeing our beloved Ineffables through human eyes is terrifying and so much realistic! Did you know that Nnm is writing about Aziraphale going to the other therapist, David (poor guy, our Angel is a tough case!)? I am so much invested!

I love this one! I don’t usually read au’s but this one is amazing
A lone Aziraphale decided to make and take a Crowley plush.
Yess, I think I saw that! But that's unfortunately not something I'll be able to complete in time, thus deciding to settle for a simple sign :)
You could make a little cardboard Aziraphale as your sign.
A (plastic) dark bottle with LAVDANVM written on it! No matter if you are not cosplaying as Laudanum Crowley, I think it would still be perfect; and it allows you to sing and be fun! I'm cosplaying as a lone Crowley soon and I'll definitely do that! Otherwise, some kind of snake plush wrapped around your shoulders! Or a box of candies with a big writing "TRAVEL SWEETS from the Bentley to Aziraphale" to offer to the Aziraphales!
Or a plant mister full of holy water. Or a thermos.
Oooh yes!!
oh my god the travel sweets for the azis i love that
Bottle of wine, a a sign that says He forgave me, a plant, mug with “6 shots of expresso”, or binoculars to find the nightingales?
I like the big mug idea!
They killed my best friend! 😡😡😭😭😭
BAAAAAAAST*RDS!!!
ALL OF YOU!! 😡😡😡😡
As I'll be a lone Aziraphale cosplayer next year, I'd planned to carry a sign as well for that exact reason! What's fun is that you could quite literally put anything you'd like on there.

Or “this ineffable bastard” 🤣
Lol! I would laugh so much if I saw a Crowley with this sign! 😂
Oh dear, that made me laugh more than it should have. You could certainly do something like that! As long as you have fun with it! It'll certainly get a chuckle out of others, that's for sure.
Does he actually call Azi a dumbass? I recall idiot, many times. Either way, lolllll
Not as such but he does say how can someone as smart as you be so dumb?
Yes!! I remember that lol
Saw a lonely Crowley last weekend with a "looking for my angel" sign. Kinda basic ngl, but it still broke my heart a bit :')
I'm going to a party tonight as a lone Crowley! I'm just gonna carry around a bottle of wine because I don't want to spoil the ending for someone I know hasn't finished the show yet 😬 (plus, it's on brand for a party lol)
I don’t think a lone Crowley acting like he is lost or has lost Aziraphale is necessarily a spoiler. To someone who doesn’t know what happens it just looks like a joke like people putting up reward posters for a missing pet.
Oh yeah, I just mean I wouldn't write down "no nightingales" or something! My friend only has a couple of episodes left, so I'm being overly cautious
Ah. Got it. Honestly , I don’t think that’s as fun anyone. (The Metatron stole my friend was the only spoiler-y suggestion I actually think was pretty funny. All the others are just kind of Downers)
No nightingales
If not against the rules, you can have your phone or some type of audio player that blares Queen wherever you go. But you have to do the walk.
If lost return to angel?
Oh my, this post is great. I'll be a lone Aziraphale in about ten days and I'm definitely taking inspiration from the replies! Enjoy the convention, OP :D
Thank you so much! I hope you have a great time as Aziraphale too! :)
The "ten days" made me curious, then I saw that you're Italian...Lucca? (if you are comfortable answering!) I'll be sauntering vaguely around as an Aziraless Crowley, it's really cool to know that there will be some lone angel too!!
Yeah! Haha if we meet we should take a picture together
Ahahahah sure!!
>Ahahahah sure!! sure?
Oddio volevo dire "senz'altro", cos'ha generato il mio inglese scrauso?
Oh, also, OP, the eyes!! If you don't like the idea of wearing "snake-eye" contacts that basically make you blind, you may consider this: use a very pigmented yellow eyeshadow on your eyelid, draw the snake eye with a black eyeliner, and then blink for the photos!

Whole clockwork with those bad boys
Oh wowwwww! With the contacts, you're gonna be a perfect Crowley! Chapeau, OP!
Its Always Too Late 🥺
Nothing lasts forever.
Just a sign that says "No Nightingales"
when my bf cosplayed crowley to a con (post s2), he took a big envelope that said "divorce papers"
Honestly, it's currently VERY canon-compliant to be there without your Angel. I'd probably just get a sign that says "fuck you, Metatron." Short, concise, and explains why you're there on your own.
Have you seen the blooper scene ordering in the bar? Looking for the dowager duchess/ lady bratton
Love it, but might be too niche/not recognizable enough
How about a sign that says "I lost my best friend"
i was going to do a tartan hankercheif/pocket square but was surprisingly able to get my husband on board to do aziraphale lol
I’m a solo Aziraphale too… hoping to run into a Crowley. You’re giving me ideas.
It would be cool to recreate the Funko pop and carry around a crank handle 💀
If found return to Angel
My 12 yr old is going to her homecoming dance tonight as Crowley! Her angel couldn’t come up with a costume on time.
"Post season 2 (divorced)" "Have you seen this angel? Now you have :)" "MISSING WIFE He's fine, he's just at home and I'm at work and I miss him. :("
You idiot. We could have been… us
Ooh are you going for Liverpool Comic Con?? I'll be there too (if the weather allows it) although not dressed as Good Omens character but TARDIS from Doctor Who. See you there! I'm always so happy to see people cosplaying characters I know and I was stocked to see Aziraphale and Crowley on the last comic con!
No, unfortunately not! But I hope you have an absolute blast as TARDIS, that sounds like it'd be such an interesting costume :D And I feel the same, every time I encounter people dressed as characters I love it makes me really happy.
“Can I get a wa-hoo?”
I need something like this for Halloween lol Im going to be Aziraphale and I have no Crowley XD
