writing is the most insane hobby it's like,
is it easy? no
is it fast? also no
but is it fun? well,
While Crowley's Sassy Face™️ is obviously the star here, I would also like to appreciate Aziraphale's answering Chuckle and Bob™️.
"Happy, Angel?"
"Yes, quite."
Seriously, just fuck already. Please.
Us time
(thank you all for your heartwarming welcome backs ❤️❤️ kind of feels like coming home from a long trip)

The “Are you sure you’re sure?” from Crowley during the magic shop scene still kills me every time, the care and concern in his voice was so prominent and at that point he didn’t know he’d be directly involved
All of his concern was directed at Aziraphale
Then he proceeded to tempt the shopkeeper into giving Aziraphale what he wanted and immediately agreed to help him
He’s so down bad it’s ridiculous
This is my first post on Tumblr, so you'll probably see fanart, and Good Omens stuff from me, so, hi! 🌟
Fandom acting like Aziraphale is the Bad Guy for asking Crowley to become an angel again is something else. I'm not arguing that offering to turn him into an angel again was the right thing to do, but CONTEXT MATTERS!!
Things Crowley has canonically said about his fall:
"I never asked to be a demon. I was just minding my own business one day and then… Oh, lookie here, it’s Lucifer and the guys. Oh, hey, the food hadn’t been that good lately. I didn’t have anything on for the rest of that afternoon. Next thing, I’m doing a million-light-year freestyle dive into a pool of boiling sulphur." (Aziraphale appeared to Crowley right after he said this so it's not outside of the realm of possibility that he found Crowley by following his voice in the first place.)
"I didn't mean to fall. I just hung around the wrong people."
"I didn't really fall. I just, you know, sauntered vaguely downwards." (Crowley says this to Aziraphale in the same scene he asks for holy water.)
Crowley was turned into a demon against his will.
Crowley hates being a demon too. It makes sense that Aziraphale would mistakenly believe that Crowley might accept the idea of becoming an angel again if what we were witnessing was Aziraphale being honest with Crowley in the final fifteen.
Again, I'm not saying he was right to ask that of Crowley, but let's not just decide that Aziraphale is a Bad Person for asking when he's witnessed ways in which Crowley has suffered as a demon.
There is indeed a lesson to be learned here, but why bring a little more context into the situation when it's just easier to villainize Aziraphale, am I right?
Yes, he was wrong to ask Crowley to become an angel again because it's not what Crowley wants. No, he's not a monster for offering. This is seriously all because of their stunning inability to communicate what it is they actually want.
Aziraphale has to break free from whatever hold Heaven still has on him, but he doesn't deserve to be treated like the Bad Guy.
It is entirely possible to criticize Aziraphale's actions without painting him as a monstrous abusive prick.

Azi *trying to flirt again*: Crowley, is it hot in here or-
Crowley: I suppose, but it's less than 90°F ...
Azi *suppressing gay tears of frustration*: WHY. GOD. WHY.
Crowley: What? Why is it less than 90 degrees?
Azi:
Crowley: ...because you're acute angel.
If we compare Crowley about to confess his feelings to Aziraphale before he finds out about Heaven's offer, and after he finds out about the offer...
The posture, the swaying, the sniff, the positioning. Except he's so, so much more tense this time.
Like he desperately tries to start again and then he just-
The eyebrow raise on the 4th gif, he looks like he's going to throw up. fuck man
I am unwell.
