#and then crowley’s up on earth

[everysongineverykey]

as part of the getting-worse-before-it-gets-better portion of aziraphale and crowley's season 3 relationship arc we NEED a desperate "i love you" from aziraphale met with a hissed, spiteful, and quickly regretted "i forgive you" from crowley

#good omens #ineffable divorce #aziracrow #ineffable husbands #i really want things to get as bad as they can possibly get before their relationship #is saved and actualized if you couldn't tell. #like yes i want them to make up and have a big fabulous kiss together sheltered under a canopy in the rain #and then spend the rest of their eternity together on earth in blissful love #but i also want them to be really unstable for a bit #spiteful crowley. aziraphale blurting out a confession no buildup no apology #because he thinks that'll fix everything. #more miscommunication to give more weight to their final climactic episode where they actually work things out. #crowley has to give him a lift and they start arguing and he blasts queen in the bentley #and takes them careening down oxford street at 120 miles per hour #grinning and laughing manically while aziraphale screams and hangs onto the baby basket he's holding #containing the second coming of jesus for dear life. #crowley just terrifying him to spite him. #i want them to do and say fucked up things to each other! do you get it?

I've been stuck on viewing Maggie as Crowley's mirror, and for most of the show I like that interpretation. But once I started thinking of Nina as Crowley's Mirror in the ball scene specifically, I made a connection....

Aziraphale is playing God here. He has a vision- a happy romantic evening where people speak Victorian English, dress nicely, dance, and fall in love -and he wills everyone present to conform to his plan. But Nina doesn't conform. Nina feels like something isn't right. She asks questions.

She asks Aziraphale what's going on, why she doesn't feel sad when she knows she's sad, and Aziraphale doesn't give her a satisfactory answer. He tells her that the important thing is that she's here. She's here to play a role in his great plan. To dance in his ball.

So she expresses her concerns to Maggie. Maggie hadn't seen the issues at first, but she listens to Nina, and Nina gets her to acknowledge the absurdity of the situation just a little bit. Listen to their conversation at the dance again. It sounds SO MUCH like the conversations we've heard Crowley and Aziraphale have a thousand times during their 6000 year dance. Crowley calling out heaven, asking questions, trying to get Aziraphale to consider the absurdity of it all. Aziraphale mostly defending heaven, but listening, and sometimes acquiescing.

And this all falls in line with a point I've made before - In season 2, Crowley's relationship with Aziraphale begins to mirror his relationship with heaven. Aziraphale shows a pattern of not listening to Crowley the whole season, but especially in this scene. Crowley tries to ask him what is going on, and alert him to very real danger, but Aziraphale is dismissive. He is blinded by his desire to see his plan to fruition.

And just so we're clear, this is not an Aziraphale hate post. Rather, I think it might give us some insight into where God is coming from. Because Aziraphale's actions may be dismissive and controlling, but they are motivated by love. Misguided, certainly, but with all the best intentions. I have a feeling, when we finally meet God, it will be a similar story. And maybe both She and Aziraphale will learn that sometimes to love means to let go.

#keeping this post short because if I think about it too much I'm going to make myself sick #like how Maggie and Nina's conversation happens while dancing #and aziraphale and crowley have been having that same conversation and doing the same dance for 6000 years #it's so romantic and heartbreaking and poetic I think I might actually die #Also... think about how Lindsey broke up with Nina right before this scene #kind of like how heaven broke up with Crowley before the earth began fuck fuck fuk #and then Crowley yells at Nina to trust someone for once in her life like... #he knows nothing about her he's projecting SO HARD #good omens #good omens 2 #good omens season 2 #gos2 #good omens meta #ineffable husbands #aziraphale #aziraphale x crowley #crowley #crowley x arizaphale #aziracrow #neil gaiman #go2 #maggie and nina #reposting slightly edited because I made a mistake the first time #thank you @tip-top-tickety-boo for pointing it out!

The thing about “nothing lasts forever” is that neither of them are listening

#ineffable husbands #this has been said 1000 times but im going to say it again #aziraphale is saying ‘im willing to give up this shop and everything i hold dear on earth to keep you safe with me’ #and crowley is saying ‘this is our place and this is where we exist together and you cannot give that up for false safety by people that #will betray you’ #and they’re not LISTENING to each other #god im going to be fucking sick #they’re always talking but never about what’s actually important #they can hear each other but they’re not listening

Y'all also still crying about the 'one fabulous kiss and we're good'? because i am

#crowley believed that that's what would help that's what would solve everything so he tried it with aziraphale #even though they're not simply humans #but maybe it would still work. they were on earth for a very long time after all #one kiss.that's what it would take.one kiss and they would be good.one kiss and they could be together. it was ever only about that one kiss #good omens #good omens 2 #aziraphale #crowley #good omens season 2 #ineffable husbands #go2 #screaming crying throwing up

I think the systematic institutional reform needed in heaven and hell in season 3 should be accomplished by a union drive

It's organised by the lower ranking angels and demons for better working conditions, regular breaks and the right to fraternise with whoever they please

Eventually there's a meeting between the two unions to see how they can support each other's causes

Aziraphale and crowley are in a corner snogging (union solidarity)

#no seriously this would be so fucking funny #Aziraphale and crowley really did just give up the initial idea having been on earth so long that they actually know what humans are #but then it's really just lower ranking demons and angels #also crowley and aziraphale came up with the idea independently of each other simply bc of the hilarity of the moment they find out about it #good omens #good omens 2 #aziracrow #aziraphale #crowley #ineffable husbands #good omens shitpost #although not gonna lie i want this now #if only as a fck u to amazon #good omens humor

Cannot believe at this late stage of my life I'm becoming a Gabriel fucker. Local mean jock doesn't want to be evil now, he wants to be loved. I'm slightly annoyed they didn't make Beelzebub more unhinged because the "plot" should have been at least half about them fucking up shit on an absolute rampage trying to find Gabriel, a thing everyone assumes they are doing to fry him with hellfire so they can kick off the war in a way that's advantageous to hell, BUT ACTUALLY!!! true love.

#I do love evil love! #but more than that it's like... the terrible emptiness of heaven and hell? #absolutely no one has been having a good time! #they're just middle management admin suckers doing a soulless job no one else understands #they don't even care about earth! six thousand years of #mommy promised that if you all sit down and shut up we can have another war when the humans are dead #as a form of enrichment for their underlings #and they're just going along with it because that's the grind #incidentally I enjoyed how childish the angels were this season my pet theory is that they and the demons also have free will but no one #noticed so they've all just been making themselves miserable enforcing corporate culture and plotting each other's downfall because it #didn't occur to them to do anything else #gabriel and beelzebub realizing there's more to life and they can simply say fuck it and make something good between them #implies other angels and demons can do the same! as does Muriel obviously #like they are torturing each other. in much the same ways that humans are torturing each other #sad for Aziraphale and Crowley they care about earth & humans #which is a real problem they have that Gabzebub do not #and also that Crowley is in denial about how much he wants to be good and Aziraphale is in denial about just so many things and also #committed to being an ass about it. #these are problems that Gabriel and Beelzebub do NOT have because they are goal oriented and keep their eyes on the prize #good omens spoilers

there’s something funny about the people pissed at aziraphale for his choice in the end because they’re doing exactly what the show itself is criticising its characters of doing; not looking at things from the other person’s perspective

#edit: to be clear this is about people who are pissed and not willing to understand WHY he made his choice #edit: and are just assuming it’s ooc/calling it bad writing #i know it’s tempting to immediately side with crowley and see things from his POV but like . you’re falling into the trap there #you’re empathising with crowley and understanding why what azi said devastated him #but you’re not. trying to understand why azi said all those things #which is wild to me because holy shit isn’t it so obvious how heartbroken azi is? how confused he is by crowley’s refusal to stay? #he’s trying to offer crowley safety. he’s trying to offer him that happiness azi hasn’t seen on his face since they were both angels again #he’s trying to offer him a chance to do the good azi knows him to be so capable of without repercussion or shame #he’s offering him what he thinks is an ideal life together #he loves crowley so much he’d give up everything he loves on earth for him #jay rambles #good omens #good omens spoilers #go2 spoilers #gos2 spoilers #good omens season 2 spoilers

i love your warrior cats / good omens AU art so much!!!!!!!!!!! warrior cats is my oldest fandom and good omens the one that has taken over my heart so completely. cloudwing and addereye both look amazing (and the names are so fitting omg)

do you have any headcanons for the dark forest in the AU / how addereye ended up there?

thank you thank you! ;o; i’m really happy that people have taken a liking to it!

conceptually this AU is still a bit hazy so i’d love to hear ideas from others too — i imagine that both cloudwing and addereye have been dead for so long that they no longer remember their lives or allegiances from before. addereye started out as starclan from a time before the dark forest was fully it’s own thing, but he eventually just wandered there and decided to stay (at least, that’s what he says…👀)

#honestly just waiting on crowley’s canon backstory ha #i think starclan’s corruption could be played up to match that of heaven’s in go #so on the other side you’ve got the criminals but also just folks who saw the institution for what it was and wanted nothing to do with it #addereye probably assigned himself to sowing chaos within the living clans once the really nasty cats started arriving in DF #plus earth is the only place where he can hang out with his bestie :3 #asks #wc gomens AU

The thing is, I don't actually blame Aziraphale for thinking Crowley would want to become an angel again. At all. Crowley has been a miserable grumpy bitch on a consistent basis for thousands of years, and when was the last time Aziraphale saw him truly happy and unburdened? When he was an angel creating nebulas. I really think a big part of the problem here is, ironically, that he misses seeing Crowley openly and fearlessly happy, and he doesn't realize that the only thing that could really make Crowley happy like that again is... him.

#my posts #good omens #go #ineffable husbands #spoilers #typing on my phone is a nightmare but #I see a lot of people pissed with Aziraphale and I'm just not #I get it #I get both their perspectives #although I do think Aziraphale is hanging onto a fantasy - he's constructed that fantasy with the best of intentions #I don't think he wants Crowley to change who he is or anything. He wants what he's wanted for centuries-- #for earth and crowley to be safe and happy #Idk maybe I'll feel differently after my second and third rewatches lol #but come on. No one knows Crowley as well as Aziraphale. And Crowley is fucked up about what God did to him #it still haunts him and Aziraphale knows that #It's just that Crowley has accepted and embraced the fact he'll never get answers and Aziraphale has not #Aziraphale has no faith in Heaven but he has faith in God. And I need season 3 right now immediately in my mouth #good omens 2

[undergmnds]

What if one day, Aziraphale comes back and apologizes to Crowley? Maybe after a few years. Maybe Crowley will tell him he's tired of the apologies, that he wants to hear something else from the angel, but he doesn't speak, he just lets Crowley drone on and on about how hurt he was. Maybe Aziraphale will let him talk for as long as he wanted because he felt like he never let him speak his mind.

Finally, Crowley, out of just pure frustration says, "I hate you". Maybe Aziraphale will feel his chest ache, his heart sink to his stomach, his world shatter. Maybe he'll let out a shaky sigh as he says, "If hating me helps you feel better, then I'm glad I could help you."

Maybe Crowley will finally fall silent, his lips parted as he sees the anguish in Aziraphale's eyes. Maybe he'll finally take off his sunglasses, revealing his furrowed brows and eyes brimming with tears. Maybe he'll say he wishes he could hate Aziraphale, that he could just say it without feeling his feet sink lower into the ground as another lie shackles him longer to Hell. Maybe Aziraphale's face will contort at the realization that Crowley is still a demon, he still lies. Maybe the angel will feel happy about this lie.

Maybe Crowley will get closer, hands gentler than before as he cups the angel's face. Maybe he'll ask for permission this time, and the angel will nod. Maybe the two of them will share a gentle kiss, with a slight pang of salty tears, small whispers of "I'm sorry" from the angel and "I know" from the demon. Maybe finally they'll say "I love you", and everything will be right in their world.

[draftdodgeraziraphale]

Hi!! I was really interested in your point of view regarding the pre fall scene, I haven't seen anyone talk about it in that way before. Why / how does it change their relationship?

To me, what makes the whole of Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship so meaningful is that these are two old, supernatural beings whose entire (love) story takes place on Earth. They met, they made their homes, they fell in love, all of this on Earth. And that's just the foundation of their relationship and story to me.

For Aziraphale, this means that Crowley-the-demon is the ONLY version of Crowley that he's known. In Eden, he lifts up his wing over Crowley to shield him from the rain and this scene is so impactful because it's an angel reaching out and protecting this demon he just met, someone who should be his enemy, right after the Fall of Man. It comes from Aziraphale's kindness alone. Season 2's pre-Fall scene cheapens this by having Crowley protect Aziraphale first, which just makes it seem like in Eden Aziraphale is just repaying the favor.

In season one, when Aziraphale says "you were an angel once," it is meant as this nebulous thing. All demons were once angels, he means. All demons have the capacity to be good. Aziraphale is in denial that Heaven is anything but Good, but he at least is aware that Heaven doesn't hold the monopoly on it. After season 2's pre-Fall scene, this changes the context to "I remember what you were like in Heaven, and you could be that again." And this is enforced when Aziraphale, in season two, says "I know the angel that you were." Which leaves such a fucking bad taste in my mouth.

Aziraphale does not believe that Crowley is good because he was an angel once. He knows Crowley is good because ever since he met this demon on the walls of Eden, Crowley has expressed sympathy with the plight of humanity and has done what he can to help, even when it puts him in direct danger from Hell.

Before season 2 came out, when we just had the book and season one to go off, the Eden scene was Aziraphale and Crowley's first meeting. Period. We could play around in the sand-box of "what if they did know each other before the Fall?" and it was fun! I liked some of those fics! But I never wanted it to be canon because I always felt deeply that that just isn't what Aziraphale and Crowley's story is about.

And you could say, well, I like the pre-Fall scene because it shows that Aziraphale has known every version of Crowley, but he prefers this version, the demon with yellow snake eyes who does good and tries to hide it. And that's a fair interpretation! But I still think that it's just making the best of what we've got.

Crowley and Aziraphale treasure earth and humanity so deeply. I think that their story should start on earth, watching over the humans they love so much. That's the story I prefer.

#bucxkybarnes #replies #pre-fall scene also cheapens crowley's love for earth #because i've seen people go 'crowley loves the stars and planets so much he wants to go up there with aziraphale' and uh. uh #crowley would be miserable up there. no food. no entertainment. he loves earthly pleasures just as aziraphale does #anyway idk how to fit this in the main post so you have a bonus tag essay. wahoo!!!

Thinking about how Season 2 is set in the year 2023 and how the show timeline canonicallly aligns with the timeline of our universe.

So if Season 3 comes out in, say, the year 2026, it would've already been three years since the fallout. Three years since Crowley has been left alone on earth and Aziraphale has been the Supreme Archangel of Heaven. Three years since they broke each other's hearts. Three years since Crowley has been without Aziraphale and Aziraphale has been without Crowley.

And probably three or more years since the Nightingale last sang for them...

Not that it is a long time by any standards and they had experienced extended periods of no contact before but these three years would've been spent thinking they would have to go on for the rest of eternity without ever being able to see each other again. And, of course, this time span of three years would have been spent after a major shift in their dynamic and after so many things had finally come out in the open for the first time in 6000 years.
