On The Road To Season 3 - Day 20

Aziraphale seeing Crowley in his Prince of Hell outfit that he looks terrifying, incredibly hot and handsome in:

“Oh no. I guess this is it. We lost. Heaven lost. You must now imprison me and take me to Hell, Crowley. I shall be your 😏loyal servant😏”

“Aziraphale, what the fuck are you doing, he hasn’t even said anything yet!”

“Shut the fuck, Metatron.”

I think the religious satire in good omens is so clever like I could literally talk about it forever. Especially the contrast between Aziraphale and Crowley. My favourite way to explain it is that Aziraphale represents the top to bottom thinking whilst Crowley represents the bottom to top thinking when approaching religion. Top to bottom thinking is essentially starting with the answer and twisting the question to fit. This is really common in real life bible-bashers. Here, the answer is always God. God always knows what is good, what is right and why anything happens at all. Why must the world end after 6,000 years? Because God said it should. Why must an eleven year old boy be the vehicle for Armageddon? God. Why can't an angel and a demon be friends? God wouldn't want it that way. Aziraphale is so indoctrinated by this mentality that it seems obvious to him. It entirely baffles him when Crowley doesn't subscribe to this way of thinking as well. Bottom to top thinking is beginning with the question and then finding the answer - this way of thinking is why science always prevails over religion in a structured debate. Why is the world ending after 6,000 years? Because Heaven and Hell both think that it should. What can be done to stop an eleven year old boy from being the vehicle for Armageddon? Neutralise him. Why is Crowley, a demon, close friends with an angel like Aziraphale? Because he enjoys his company and companionship. Crowley is like a projection of Aziraphale's future. It's even more than that, too. Crowley is all the people who got out. Who grew up/lived in in a toxically religious environment who have moved on and become disillusioned with God and with religion. Aziraphale is all the people still trapped in that environment that know that's not where they belong, but stay because they don't know anything else. It's a genius allegory for toxic mindsets some Christians live by and I am honestly obsessed with it.

Hc that in Edinburgh when Aziraphale is like “Still, that was very kind of you” and Crowley’s like “Not kind. Off my head on laudanum. Not responsible for my actions” etc etc, Aziraphale was calling him kind in hopes he’d get pushed up against a wall again

I think that is why he does it always lmao like

the way he looks at him and leans in

bbg you’re so silly and down so bad oml

Istg he thinks he’s performing a proper temptation here what a silly goose

that's how it happened, right? 🥰

Us time

(thank you all for your heartwarming welcome backs ❤️❤️ kind of feels like coming home from a long trip)

doctor who companions will go "he's the most incredible man i've ever met... he's like fire; bright, brilliant, and burning whatever gets too close." and then the camera turns and it's Some Guy eating sand

So I went to my therapist the other day, and later in the appointment I mentioned that I like to write self-insert fiction to cope. I also said that I generally hide it and felt embarrassed mentioning it due to the way people treat the concept online.

She said that self-inserting yourself into art and writing is an incredibly healthy way to feel good about yourself, and that she was appalled when I told her about the way it’s mocked on the internet.

So never feel bad about self-inserting or enjoying reader insert fanfiction, 1/1 professionals agree that it’s good for you and that the jerks who say you’re doing something wrong are just uneducated and don’t understand. Never listen to the anons who try to make you feel bad <3 

Have a really nice day!

Metatron: Almighty, it’s done.

God *hungover*: Wait, what’s done?

Metatron: I told Aziraphale ‘fuck Crowley’. So he did.

God *groans*: You weren’t actually meant to tell him… ah never mind, at least they finally did it. Six thousand years is way too fucking long. Satan said it’s gonna take them at least ten thousand, so I won. Again. Fucking brilliant. I’m gonna call him. Tell Aziraphale I can marry them when they’re free.

Metatron: ……. M-marry them?

God: ???

Metatron: ???

God: Metatron?

Metatron *sweating*: Yes?

God: I feel like your fuck is different to my fuck.
