#that fundamentally just like in s1 aziraphale CAN'T allow himself to run and crowley CAN'T stay

[bullagit]

some days it's just like yeah if the good omens fandom is gonna do one thing, it's watching aziraphale make choices that he clearly feels he has to make, despite whatever he personally wants or what would personally make him happy, because he wants to protect crowley or earth and humanity or whatever

and immediately making him out to be selfish/manipulative/cruel/abusive/too naive/a bigot/etc, solely bc of the fact that crowley is sad in the aftermath...

#good omens #aziraphale #i just think about it sometimes. the double standard of it all. #ill step away from the final 15 in the understanding that there was no most right or most wrong or most hurt #that fundamentally just like in s1 aziraphale CAN'T allow himself to run and crowley CAN'T stay #their trauma informs these things about them and it comes to a head regularly #whether there's multiple other layers to the situation or it's fairly straightforward like. that's the crux of it. #the maggie and nina parallel etc etc #and i straight up block accounts who go in on this stuff esp people who claim aziraphale chose heaven/angel crowley OVER crowley #like nah sorry objectively wrong #it's so.... #more than anything aziraphale wants crowley safe. #and he wants forever with crowley; not what they can steal away #and he wants. CROWLEY. #he loves crowley as is he loves every part and piece of crowley throughout ALL of their shared history which INCLUDES angel crowley #he loves every person crowley is or has been or will be #and he doesn't need to do anything to earn crowley's love back or deserve it; he has it already. he deserves it already by being himself #these characters are just doing what they can
