the cipher you need to understand neil gaiman’s tumblr asks and comments is he works in loopholes and technicalities always and forever. like did he intend the gay subtext in good omens since the 80s? absolutely. did he intend for it to be genuine and validating and romantic? absolutely the FUCK not lol. but he DID intend a gay reading of aziraphale and crowley from the beginning TECHNICALLY if you ignore the fact he was making fun of them for it
dear mr neilman i will scrub my mind clockwork orange style to convince myself you always earnestly meant for aziraphale and crowley to end up together if you have them fuck looney tunes style in s3
have seen several posts of late attributing traits to “typical neil gaiman gay characters” like we didn’t just have to wage 30 years of cyber war to get him to admit the gay angel was gay
The Penny Farthing. Why the word “velocipede” rather than “bicycle” stuck in Aziraphale’s vocabulary. Crowley just IMMENSELY happy about something that is not a horse. (He’s also possibly one of the few people who can put his feet on the ground from the seat.)
