Me: I wonder if Neil will give Aziraphale a line where he goes on about how handsome Crowley is
Me: However if he doesn’t, I believe in Michael Sheen
Neil confirmed that Crowley is not Lucifer and then proceeded to make him do things that are known as Lucifer things (Morningstar, Serpent of Eden, etc)
I mean even the looks.
them🥰
I love it when in fics aziraphale expects crowley to kiss him passionately and hard and tempting but then crowley holds aziraphale’s cheeks between his fingertips the way you hold the finest glass and the kiss is delicate and heartbreakingly breakable i am so weak for it
There is a separate comedy genre called "Catherine Tate talking about Doctor Who" lore", and David Tennant is the biggest fan. An interviewer could ask Catherine any dw related question and you would hear David Tennant rushing from another floor yelling "WAIT FOR ME! I WANT TO SEE HER ANSWER THAT!"
they are actually so crowley and aziraphale
like hello
Aziraphale: Ahhh romance novels. Beautiful bad boys with their soft hearts for their heroines. Rescuing their loved ones. Always owning a cool car. Always secretive. Always powerful.
Aziraphale: *Looks at Crowley, the bad boy, with a soft heart for his heroine, always rescuing her, with his beloved Bentley, full of secrets and ready to stop the time to save Aziraphale and the World*
Aziraphale:
😇😇
I love how Crowley saw this angel on the wall & slithers up and is like ssssssss and the angel goes Wot? and Crowley repeats, Well that was a shit show wasn't it? and the angel goes Oh, yeah, it was and Crowley goes God's being a bit of a bitch about an apple, eh. Anyway s'not like the whole good/evil thing even matters and the angel goes Stfu it was your idea in the first place and Crowley goes Ehhh my boss just said to come up here and fuck shit up & God seemed tetchy 'bout the apples and they talk about God and the Great Plan and Crowley goes Hang on, you had a great big bleedin sword earlier to defend Eden, where is it? and the angel goes Uhh yeah well I gave it to the humans God just kicked out and Crowley instantly falls in love ?? and this whole time this angel is like Bsjxbsbsudpuxeb I've had a crush on you since before Creation and now you're a bad boy demon and I like it even more??
And then God rocks up and goes Where's ya sword, Eastern boy? and Aziraphale deadass LIES TO GOD and God just fucking NOPES out halfway through his bullshit speech about losing it, and 6,000 years later She's watching them go on dates, and She fucking ships it
So I made a post on why I relate to Crowley and I adore him, obviously. I think a few you misunderstood what I meant there, though (which is understandable, I was a bit incoherent but that is inevitable on this blog). I wasn't saying Aziraphale didn't care about Crowley or was horrible to him, rather the opposite.
What I was saying was maybe Crowley felt unloved against his better judgement, because he knows he is loved by Aziraphale, but maybe everything he has been through has started to chip away at that knowledge. It's happened to me, I'm sure it's happened to a few of you. You are assured that you are loved, you can see them doing things for you, but you feel unloved. Maybe because of the other people who don't love you. Maybe because... you don't love yourself.
But I definitely wasn't putting down Aziraphale, who is a beautiful character. I adore him. I love how every single second, all his emotions are on his face. That's actually how I realised they'd switched bodies--in heaven, 'Aziraphale' had a cool, dismissive look on his face. That could only be Crowley, I knew, because Crowley is a bit better (not a lot, not around Azi of course) at masking his emotions.
That's what's so beautiful about Azi, we can just see how much he feels, how much he adores Crowley, how much hope he had, how much faith in Heaven, how much determination to do the right thing. How determined he is to keep Crowley safe, to make Crowley smile and laugh, and how much it kills him every time he has to push Crowley away for both of their sakes, or he thinks he has to. You both want to protect that optimism and faith, and also shake him and tell him the truth. But how do we know better than him, a 6000 year old angel? There's so much that we don't know, that may have happened behind the scenes, that's orchestrating his decisions.
Some of you are certain that there is more, that he doesn't still believe that what Heaven offers is genuine, because how could he? I'm also sure that there is more, but can I also offer an alternate idea? Even if there wasn't more, maybe he isn't to blame if he did continue to believe in Heaven's goodness.
We've been in toxic relationships. With friends, partners, family. I know how hard it is to accept that something you love is not worthy of that love. Something you admired is something flawed. Something you would do anything to keep is something you need to push away.
The worst of all, of course, is that time, somewhere in our childhood or teens or adulthood, when a lot of us realise our parent or parents are not heroes. That we don't agree with them. That they were wrong about a lot of things. Because they taught us everything, they were our guides, how could they be wrong? And if we can't believe in them, then what are we supposed to believe in?
Maybe Aziraphale is going through that journey, over all those millennia. Some of us are forced to realise it before we even turn ten, some of us haven't realised it yet, some of us may not ever or may not need to.
Maybe Aziraphale is just a child of God, realising that Heaven, his technical family, is not the Good that not only they but the entire world believes them to be. Everyone says Heaven is good, including a lot of Hell, including a lot of humankind, it's just given. What is Heavenly is good. And Aziraphale wants to be good.
But he's going through that painful journey of realising that good may not be what he was taught, that good comes in many shades and tints and hues. And we can see him do it, we can see him defy Heaven and God, for Crowley or for humans or for himself. He's doing it, and we need to see how it isn't easy for him. Having your entire system of belief deconstructed is painful and awful. And if you were wrong once, how do you know you won't be the next time?
It's hard enough for Crowley, torn between whether he was unworthy or whether Heaven was wrong. Imagine the tumult that Aziraphale goes through, because if Heaven accepts him and Heaven isn't always good, does that mean Aziraphale has been doing it all wrong all his life?
He's going through something that we all go through, and is every bit as relatable as Crowley is. I love them both so much. I'm so glad that there's a third season, to see how that arc closes, to see if maybe they find the answers we're all looking for.
@adverbian and @howmanyholesinswisscheese, I hope this helps? Again, I haven't watched season 2 yet and have a horrible memory since I've been watching season 1 heavily medicated, so this is just from what I know and can tell and headcanon, perhaps.
Post Season 2 fanfictions be like
Aziraphale: I am back
Crowley: I am mad at you
Aziraphale: No you are not
Crowley: No I am not
loud making out noises
