And when I die, which I must do

Could it shine down here with you?

Cause my love is mine, all mine

Our love, mine, mine, mine

I can't believe I forgot one of the most significant moments (imo) when I was mulling over duality etc here, and that is when Crowley goes up to Heaven to try and figure out what's going on. Actually, it's more than just multiple layers of truth. Yes there are a couple of truths at play, but as an audience we are given SO much information in this scene that it's almost hard to take it all in so I'm going to try and lay it out.

Here is what we learn in the whole scene:

Crowley knows that Muriel is a scrivener, including that they're 37th class. How?? Up until Crowley tricking Muriel into taking him to Heaven, there'd been no conversation about their angelic status

Crowley has a solid understanding of the way Heaven works and how to get around it (bees/once you're in, that they never change passwords etc)

Crowley has access to high level files

Saraqael seems to have a fondness? towards Crowley and allows him to view the trial, let's him know what happened and tells Muriel off but also not really

We get all the info about Gabriel and what happened

That Heaven wipes memories when demoting angels

When the alarm goes off because Aziraphale uses his halo, Crowley declares 'let's get back there' and directs Saraqael, 'you too' and they follow without question (though Crowley's original plan may have been to go and get Heavenly reinforcement but still, interesting the way he takes control and they just listen)

So the overarching duality in this scene - yes it is hilarious, the way Crowley gets Muriel to take him to Heaven in the first place and of course this whole situation:

but it's also an incredible act of love.

The entire season establishes unmistakably that Crowley has some very real trauma from his experience of being in Heaven as Aziraphale and cast into the hellfire, highlighted through his reactions to JimGabriel. Not to mention his history with Heaven and all that.

So in trying to come up with a solution to the demons attacking the bookshop, knowing that Heaven no longer have any real interest in helping Aziraphale, he willingly goes up there, the place he has made his feelings about very clear, to try and find some answers.

Yes this is a demonstration of Crowley's love for Aziraphale but it's also a demonstration of his love of humans and humanity. He puts aside his own feelings, takes a real risk (because he couldn't have known how any of the senior angels might respond to him being there...could he? Or what if the Metatron had seen him there? That's another pondering for another day...) and goes to the one place he has outright said he doesn't want to go back to, just to try and find a way to protect the humans and help Aziraphale.

THIS, to me, is the entire crux of where this is all heading. It's exactly the same reason Aziraphale gets in that lift. At the end of the day, Crowley and Aziraphale love humanity and want to protect it, even if it means risking themselves.

The multiple truths of this scene actually create a distraction I think. The humour of Crowley's outfit and little prancy toes make us think this is a light and funny moment, while we're also delighted by his subversion of Heavens 'rules' and processes and the revelations about Gabriel. It is both funny and informative. It does give us hints about Crowley's past while moving the current story forward.

But I think it's easy to miss the actions here, and that is that Crowley, who was cast out of Heaven, witnessed the ease with which they continue to cast angels into hellfire, saw the callousness of the Supreme Archangel as he condemned his best friend to no longer exist, put aside all he's witnessed and experienced because of love.

This is a love story. The love story of an angel and a demon, yes, but the love story of two entities, hereditary enemies, who fall in love with humanity and whose love for one another will give them the strength to protect it. At least, that's my take on it anyway :)

"The show started as, you know, how is he gonna become Saul Goodman, [and] why. And it became Kim Wexler and Jimmy together. And why are they together, and what's driving them, and how is that gonna go awry. And in the end, I think the writers acknowledge, with the ending that they wrote, that it really is this relationship [that] was the real life of the show. Inner life and outer life." -Bob Odenkirk

the alcaraz-sinner-medvedev triangle is so deeply compelling to me because each of them can only beat one person in this equation but the other is, without a doubt, their personal kryptonite and it makes no sense but its everything it's driving me insane

our friends’ have left their things in our house. their favourite snacks are in our pantry, their puzzles and books and scrapbooking things are on our tables and shelves. we have their photos and art displayed, their heights marked on our walls. they helped choose our couch and our rug & organise our books & curate our gallery walls & i can see them everywhere in our home.

our friends’ have left themselves in our house and sometimes i can’t believe the love i get to live with

so you mean to tell me

loki left, became the new (and better) version of he who remains— god of stories— so all of their loved ones would be able to make their own choices when it comes to their lives

and in doing so

managed to rip away the one (and only) choice mobius would choose over and over again.

he took himself out of the equation because he thought that was the answer, when for mobius, loki was the always the answer for him.

i am so normal.

there is something so deeply and gutturally gut punching about izzy singing a love song to the crew. not just a song about love, but complete trust and bliss and devotion in love. the party was so raucous and wild before he got there. he did not come in to perform for calypso’s birthday, he came in to perform for them.

la vie en rose is such a deliberate choice, such a contrast to the party they were having. he chose a song that could convey what he was feeling without really having to say it. something about the magic spell they cast on him, taking him in, perfecting his leg, and loving him in a way he’s never allowed before.

and the direct translation of the french version they all sang along to at the end. here’s a visual aid before i go insane:

when he takes me into his arms

he speaks to me softly

and i see life through rose-colored glasses.

he speaks words of love to me

they are every day words

and they do something to me.

[anitalianfrie]

The million dollar question for the fic ask game: in "this is a love story", who proposed and how?

vale proposed as part of his multi-step plan to get forgiven and get back together with marc. So he proposes around like, less than four months since they have been back together officially. (because as true kings of communications, during the summer break they were already fucking but not talking about their problems and that's why marc says "we are not friends"). Why does he think proposing after this short time is a sane thing to do? because it's the ultimate commitment, it shows that he cares. luckily for him marc is just as insane and accepts it. It's a long engagement btw, years long, because lbr they still have many things to fix in their relationship. the proposal is more like a promise of "i want it to be you". And the proposal itself is absurd and funny and big and motorbikes are somehow involved, like vale recreating one of his celebrations at the ranch after he wins the americana but like, getting a giant flag with written on it "marc marry me" and getting an ugly neon yellow papillon around his neck and then stopping in front of marc to gift him flowers produced from. somewhere. and then reaching inside his leathers to get the ring out and propose properly. all the academy boys are in on it, even bezz (even if begrudgingly because he still doesn't trust marc). marc cries a lot. and of course the next day he goes to buy a ring for vale so they are matching. (yes they are basically married but without the paperwork).

this is one option the other option is that after the proposal they resist two weeks and then elope because they are both crazy insane.
