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.
I’m indifferent to whether or not God narrates s3, but if she is, I hope it’s to call these two out on their bullshit.
I found that I haven't posted this here before.
Have you heard of our lord and savior Bildad the Shuhite? ❤️
I have, but I am yet to worship at his shrine in all his live glory. I await his coming.
-give me coffee-
aziraphale: *slumped, his head on the table *
nina, places coffee in front of him: you alright there?
aziraphale: *shakes his head*
nina, smirking: your fella wearing that turtleneck again?
aziraphale: *nods*
nina, takes the coffee away: I’ll get you something stronger
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

Okay but in S3 of Good Omens can we get a reverse wall slam.
I want to see Aziraphale slam Crowley into a wall with either the same exact force as S1 wall slam or more.
Hip thrust and everything.
