#but to azi it couldn't fit the idea HEAVEN drilled into him of what was 'good' so. he felt like he HAD to justify it to someone

thinks about how maybe there might have been just enough time for aziraphale to save morag if he got straight to healing her immediately but he spent so much time trying to justify it to crowley (who didn't even oppose it at all) because his religious trauma runs so deep that he felt like he had to explain why saving an innocent young woman's life was worth using a miracle that it ended up being too late. thinks about it again. thinks about it again. thinks ab

#he may have been speaking to a demon but all of that justification was meant for angels (as in other ones AND himself) btw. if you even care #earlier in the episode he uses a miracle to placate his moral conflict and sabotage elspeth (?)'s sale so it keeps in line with the #ideal of 'good' that was instilled in him by Heaven but. that ideal doesn't hold up in the face of severe poverty & it does more harm than #good but he doesnt hesitate to do it bc it fits w/ what Heaven taught him is righteous & he's proud of it until he realizes the harm he did #but then. he's faced with a situation where using a miracle to save morag's life would have been an objectively good thing to do #but to azi it couldn't fit the idea HEAVEN drilled into him of what was 'good' so. he felt like he HAD to justify it to someone #(bc then he could justify it to himself) until it was too late and it's 1:30 am i should go to sleep #good omens #good omens spoilers #good omens 2 spoilers #good omens s2 #aziraphale
