Fandom Acting Like Aziraphale Is The Bad Guy For Asking Crowley To Become An Angel Again Is Something

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.

It Still Hurts That Crowley Was Still Holding Onto Hope And STAYED Despite Everything

It still hurts that Crowley was still holding onto hope and STAYED despite everything

He still wanted to be there for Aziraphale, if anything had gone wrong or Aziraphale changed his mind he could run directly to Crowley and Crowley would protect him without hesitation

Because Aziraphale can always rely on him

You know how Aziraphale always wears clothes that have been out of fashion for at least a hundred years and Crowley just miracles himself up whatever he thinks is modern, right?

So why on earth is he wearing sleeve garters in 2023 then?

(Not that I’m complaining..)

You can just see them when he turns here ⬇️

You Know How Aziraphale Always Wears Clothes That Have Been Out Of Fashion For At Least A Hundred Years

For me the answer is clearly either:

because he thinks it’s hot

or (better):

because he thinks Aziraphale thinks it’s hot

(Bonus option: they are part of his bookseller cosplay)

We are seeing it and it was so heartwarming that, in the end, what worked was the innocence of the young ones.

I know it seems pretty silly to make the comparison because Adam was literally staring down Satan but it’s still really sweet how Good Omens has the underlying message that adoptive parents can be just as good, if not better, than biological parents. I don’t know, we’re all so focused on the plotlines with Crowley/Aziraphale that nobody’s really talked about the fact that an eleven-year-old kid suddenly realized that he was adopted and instead of holding any animosity towards his adoptive parents, he literally moved heaven, hell, and earth so that his adoptive dad could be there instead of his biological dad.

Again, that biological dad just happened to be Satan, but the theme still works.

In Addition To My Pic For The @aceomenszine, I Also Did The Cover Art! I Wanted To Avoid Showing A Very

In addition to my pic for the @aceomenszine, I also did the cover art! I wanted to avoid showing a very specific portrayal of both asexuality, and of Aziraphale and Crowley themselves, so I thought a little nod to time spent together (in the asexual flag colors!) would be nice 🖤🤍💜

I also did the little bumper pieces at the end of fics through the zine, and a postcard, to match the cover motif-
