Text: The last god of the sea lies rotting on the ocean floor, a final blessing for the animals to feed on. It’s a scramble for us to go harvest its bones, full of power and magic, the last of their kind.

Do you ever really think about what happened in The Resurrectionists?

Aziraphale spent that entire time trying to save Elspeth's soul from being damned to Hell.

Every questionable choice he made was done so because he was trying to help Elspeth and also trying to find new ways to decrease human suffering.

He was working really fucking hard to do his job, but he made mistakes along the way because he is constantly struggling with the knowledge that the rules become a lot more convoluted as life becomes more complicated.

Digging up bodies is wrong, but Elspeth was poor and acting in desperation to take care of herself and Wee Morag so they wouldn't have to continue living on the streets.

He is the one who encouraged her to dig up another body because he realized that Mister Dalrymple was trying to help teach those learning to become doctors so they could do better to decrease human suffering when it was their turn to help others.

He wasn't able to save Wee Morag after she was shot by a grave gun, and watched in dismay as Elspeth sold her body to Mister Dalrymple so she could get off the streets.

And when that didn't work the way she'd hoped, she decided that her life meant nothing anymore and decided she was better off dead.

Aziraphale had been spending that entire minisode trying to save Elspeth's soul from Hell, but he ultimately realizes that he made things worse even though he was trying so hard to do the right thing.

Heaven didn't care that he failed. Heaven has already said "we're the good guys, we're just not doing anything to stop the bad guys". Aziraphale was doing the job given to him by God. He made a mistake, but he thought he was doing the right thing because he cares about human souls. He still wants to protect humanity from Hell. That's literally his job.

Crowley saw someone digging up a body in the graveyard and immediately realized he didn't need to do anything.

Instead he watches.

He listens to Elspeth and finds it easier to sympathize with her plight because he's in the same boat in many ways. It doesn't matter what he does because he won't be able to climb his way out of Hell.

He listens to Aziraphale and he challenges the angel when he disagrees with some of the things he's saying.

He doesn't interfere with Elspeth or Aziraphale though.

The discussion that he and Aziraphale have with Mister Dalrymple teaches Crowley something just as much as it teaches Aziraphale.

Before he learns the reason that Mister Dalrymple cuts open dead bodies in the first place, he's cheering to the idea of more murder.

That tumor that Aziraphale hugs to his chest is just as much of a learning moment for Crowley. He hadn't considered why someone might have a good reason to cut up dead bodies, but Crowley and Aziraphale both love children and they both just learned that a child died with a tumor inside of him.

Crowley didn't realize anymore than Aziraphale did just how much danger Wee Morag and Elspeth were in from digging up bodies of rich people.

It was when Crowley saw that Elspeth was about to kill herself that he realized he could no longer sit back and do nothing.

As a demon, it should have been easier for Crowley to accept that Hell was winning another soul, but the truth is that the entire time Aziraphale was working so hard to save Elspeth's soul, Crowley was able to act as a spectator because she was already headed down the path towards Hell.

Crowley had just watched Aziraphale work so hard to save this human soul, this soul who had just lost the woman she loved who was wanting to end her own life so she could see Wee Morag again, and he realized he couldn't sit back and watch anymore. He knew Elspeth wouldn't see Wee Morag again if she killed herself because Hell cares just as little about how complicated human life is as Heaven does.

He used Aziraphale's money to bribe Elspeth into being properly good so she could go to Heaven. He saved her knowing that he was offering the win to Heaven just so she could see Wee Morag again.

It's important to remember that neither Heaven nor Hell give a single solitary fuck about humanity or the complications that arise as life becomes more problematic. Humanity exists within all shades of grey.

Heaven does nothing to stop Hell. Hell spends eternity torturing humans and other demons. Neither side is good. Neither side is ideal.

And in the end, Crowley did what he did because Aziraphale was doing the right thing by trying to save Elspeth's soul from eternal torment, something she doesn't deserve because she was simply trying to survive in a system that has always put poor people at a disadvantage. Aziraphale learned this too. He learned that there is no inherent virtue behind poverty.

To shades of grey.

Do you see it?!!

DO YOU SEE IT?!!

Like I'm definitely on Crowley's side of the divorce (sorry!) but I see Aziraphale's logic and his honest efforts to say

"I have the power to give you what you needed from heaven now!"

He's trying his damned best to hang on to his principles while keeping Crowley by his side at the same time!! It worked for the past 6000 years why isn't it working now!!!

GAAAH this show is driving me crazy.

Idk Who Needs to Hear This But

realizing that Heaven is Bad doesn't automatically translates to Hell is Good.

The whole point of Good Omens is that both institutions are equally shitty because both of them "mess humans about" and interfere with free will. Both sides tried to pressure a child into destroying the world so they could destroy each other. Both sides installed agents on Earth in order to manipulate mankind and earn brownie points with their bosses. Both sides tried to murder those agents when they soaked up some of that human free will like celestial sponges and rebelled against their designated roles. One did it while looking like an aggressively heterosexual corporate asshole and the other one did it while looking like a Goth punk who never bathes, but that's the only difference.

I really feel like we don't talk about this enough. Heaven certainly isn't the good guys, but neither is Hell. Both sides need to get the smackdown so that humankind and our boys (gn) can have the freedom they deserve.

Imagine how weird Vaggie must feel. When she was in heaven, they probably told them whatever about the morningstar-family and then she's stuck in hell herself just to find out how lovely the daughter of the fallen angel is.

Even more; after some years she met Lucifer himself. She most likely heard the most frightening stories about him and that he was absent from Charlie (who didn't even want to call him) made her view on him not better. Then he walks in and he's just a funky little guy. Starts a singing battle with one of the overlords and at the end of the day he admits how much he adores his daughter and that he missed her.

Must have been a wild day for Vaggie.

Of course Hell is awful, but oh, it is not nearly as terrifying as Heaven. Demons are (or are supposed to be) evil for evil's sake. They don't tell themselves they are the good ones, they actually just enjoy being evil, spreading chaos and destruction. You can expect any sort of wicked thing from them, and occasionally you could be lucky enough to stumble upon a nic... ehm, not-so-bad demon like Crowley. Heaven and its angels firmly believe they are good. They're "the side of light, of truth". They act for a higher, noble purpose, and would do anything to fulfil it. "The end justify the means" and anything they do, no matter how cruel or fierce, is justified and blessed in the name of a greater Good. It's just like religious terrorism: you must be willing to sacrifice anything and anyone to the Higher Purpose, and any slaughter you may leave in your wake is just an unavoidable casualty. Heaven can make a monster out of you as much as Hell, while convincing you that you are actually ineffably good and always right. And if you never question it (and angels usually don't, because of their blind and unshakeable faith in the Great Plan), you can easily become evil for Good's and God's sake. It's no surprise that the ultimate challenge and threat of S3 comes from the Metatron and Heaven, not from Hell. Going back to Heaven is the most crazy, brave, stupid, difficult and inevitable thing that Aziraphale could have done.

I love everything about this scene. It is all so very dear to me, it’s almost unbearable.

But as much as I love the admittance of loneliness, the very beginning of the formation of the team, the side, the group of the two of them ™️, I love even more what was unsaid here.

For all that was said of loneliness, going with their respective offices only so far as they can, being separated by the line of “good and evil”,

This was the moment that each said, in their own loving and unspoken ways, that despite the loneliness, neither was alone in it. They were together.

Involved.

That the other was not alone in their wanderings of the shades of grey between who they were meant to be as a demon and an angel.

And I think that is very beautiful.

Demons are dead clever, and useful once domesticated. To make a pet of one, allow it to possess a house first. Let it calm down over a century or so, before you let it touch your soul.

Hi! I recently read One Night in Bangor (And The World’s your Oyster) by Atalan and was wondering if there was anything similar. Loved the whole office party and flirtatious bets. Thanks!

Hello. Here are some Heaven and Hell gathering fics for you...

I don't want you (like a best friend) by mercuryhatter (M)

Crowley wears a new dress to the annual Heaven-Hell office party. Aziraphale is normal about it. In the first chapter, Crowley and Aziraphale have a deeply annoying time at a party and try to pretend they aren't flirting. All the sex is only in the second chapter.

O Unholy Night, A Hell of a Christmas Party by orphan_account, SparkleInTheStars, vol_ctrl (E)

Aziraphale drags a reluctant Crowley to Heaven's Christmas office party, but shortly after their arrival, all Hell breaks loose. Gabriel included demons on the guest list. Now the punch has been spiked and Hastur's determined to make mischief. Crowley hopes they'll survive to see the New Year and to tie up a loose end or at least an angel...

Secret Santa by agent_p_94 (G)

When Heaven and Hell agree to an office-wide Secret Santa, Crowley is determined to draw Aziraphale. It's more difficult than he expected to convince everyone to trade...

Field Day by nightbloomingcereus (T)

Welcome to the First Annual Heaven and Hell Field Day! There will be trust falls, a three-legged race, and all manner of corporate-mandated fun and games – what could possibly go wrong?

Mistletoe and wine by HolRose (T)

Crowley is just settling into life post-failed apocalypse when he receives an invitation to the annual Heaven and Hell Christmas party. It turns out Aziraphale has one too, and makes a plea for Crowley’s help with a particular assignment he has been given. Crowley, of course, can’t help getting involved even if he does put a little demonic ‘spin’ in more than one sense of the word, on the assistance he decides upon giving.

Helluva Boss has me deep diving into Christian mythology and I just found out that the Ars Goetia are fucking fallen angels who followed Lucifer in the rebellion against heaven STOLAS IS A FALLEN ANGEL!! In mythology he’s characterized as a pacifist who hates war and finds it pointless. He spends his time teaching astrology! Like are you kidding me!? He’s so wholesome! Wdym he’s this evil demon thing??
