Other people have already probably talked about this, but I just have to rant about it again. Do y'all know that scene in good omens when Crowley and Aziraphale are in Crowley’s car and Crowley says: “you can stay at my place. If you’d like.”

THE WAY HE SAYS THAT SO SOFTLY AND CAREFULLY, it’s literally as if he’s trying to put it out as gently as possible so Aziraphale doesn’t get overwhelmed by the offer. And the way he is trying to sound so casual about it, but OBVIOUSLY wants for him to say yes SO BAD.

I love them. So much. Oh my god.

Back in my school days, fellow students used to call me a crow or raven because I was always picking up pretty rocks, buttons, beads, jewelry, etc. Did you ever get called an animal by peers? Why?

Hey!

I never did get specifically identified with an animal, but I do have a very particular love for corvids, especially crows - I even have a crow tattoo on my inner left forearm! I love ravens and magpies, too! I'm definitely also known among my friends for my abiding love for ill-tempered waterfowl, particularly geese, swans, pelicans (are they ill-tempered? They look it), and seagulls. Canada geese are my particular friends and they know it - I walk among them freely when they're about and they've never once attacked me, even when their babies (aka tiny, fuzzy, gawky dinosaurs) are about. They know a friend when they see one! They've all gone south for the winter and I miss them.

The episode is called “Every Day” not because of the song, but because it haunts you. Every. Damn….

Yes. Very yes.

Yes. Very yes.

I’m 100% team this theory

hikarry:

I’m not really on the team that swears to Jesus and beyond that Crowley lost his memories after the Fall. Yes, of course, he forgot some stuff because, ya know, he has been alive for more than 6000 years and if I don’t remember what I ate for lunch yesterday, Satan knows he won’t remember every single second of his life, but he remembers the important things

“Ah, but what about him not remembering fighting alongside FurFur or building the thingy with Saraqael?”

Love, I give you two options:

Those are either some of the stuff he didn’t consider important enough to remember OR he is just straight up fucking with them. He does remember, but why reveal it if playing dumb sometimes is good in the long run? Might be useful

Alas, I don’t know, but I will die on the hill that he does remember

Which means he most probably remembers meeting Aziraphale. Not because Aziraphale was “important” at the time per se, or because it was love at first sight (because it wasnt, not for him. Bro was so focused on the nebula he didnt even introduce himself when Aziraphale did. He threw him a “Right. Nice to meet ya. Anyway, nebula time!”), but because he was there when Crowley created the nebula and, as he said, he had been waiting for that moment since “well, always”. It’s an important moment for him, so he remembers. Aziraphale just so happened to be present

I don’t know if that was the only interaction they had in Heaven or not (and that’s not the point I’m trying to get to so I will ignore that problem for a later post, maybe), but when the now Demon Crawley was sent up to the Garden, he did remember Aziraphale. That’s why he approached him

Cmon, Crowley isn’t stupid. Of course he wouldn’t approach an angel on the wall just willy nilly and make conversation. He didn’t know Aziraphale had given away the flaming sword yet. Just approaching an angel from behind and morph into a demon next to him out of nowhere could be a death sentence. Or at least an A Line for a good smitting

Yet, he did it. He had at least 3 other angels to choose from but he approached the angel that he remembered from back in the beginning that was kind enough to help him with the engine of the nebula. Hell! I even bet this was not the first time they saw each other in the Garden!

Bet they’ve seen and observed each other from afar a few times while they interacted with the humans (yes, cause I believe Crawley, before tempting Eve, tried to gain her trust. It’s easier to listen to a friend than a random snake) or just around the Garden really.

That’s why Aziraphale didn’t get surprised when Crawley showed up at the wall, because he knew the demon snake had been around the Garden for a while. He probably even recognized him as the former Star Maker and hoped he was still a little bit of his old self so he allowed himself to engage in conversation

Anyhow, another clue? This:

He remembers how Heaven works. He remembers he was a high ranking angel. Satan, he remembers the bloody passwords!

Do you know what else he remembers?

Cause they didn’t throw that line in there for nothing. No, gents. Cmon. Nothing is random in Good Omens

He knows who he was. He remembers being the Star Maker that hung the stars in the sky

He remembers why he fell, for goodness sake

And the fact that he remembers everything makes all of it so much more tragic, doesn’t it? He remembers his life before the Fall, his supposed friends that dragged him into the pit with them, what Her love felt like, the “mistakes” he made that led to his Fall

And it must have hurt. It must have hurt so much when he found himself in a pit of boiling sulfur with his wings completely burned and without Her love because he remembered it all. He must have been so bloody confused for so long

He might have regretted it. All the questions and the company he kept that made him Fall. But he doesn’t anymore.

He knows he doesn’t need Heaven, he doesn’t need Hell. They are toxic. All he needs is his pacific fragile existence on Earth with Aziraphale and yet…well, that’s something else he won’t forget now, is it?

*clears throat*

I rest my case

I’m 100% team this theory

This is spot on

younggayanddoingokay:

Been thinking a lot about the contrast between Gabriel/beelzebubs love story and Crowley/aziraphale’s love story and tbh it makes perfect sense to me.

Gabriel and Beelzebub had an idyllic and simple love story because they are fundamentally not complicated as beings. They’ve never, not once in their immortal existences, stopped for even a second to question themselves and whether they were doing the right thing. And it makes sense, because they’ve never had reason to. With the exception of the Armageddidn’t, every single thing has always worked out exactly the way they wanted to.

They were both at the very top of their power structures- other than a mostly absent g-d/satan- and so they were the ones giving the orders. They wanted something done, and it happened! Just like that. So of course when they fell in love, they went “oh okay,” saw what they wanted, and made it happen. They went for it without a single question or doubt because it’s what they’d always done, and it worked out largely because they expected it to. End of story, start of blissful eternity on alpha centauarion.

Now, az and Crowley, on the other hand, have done nothing but question themselves and their decisions and basically everything around them for 6000+ plus years. Even before humans, they were never quite as at ease within the status quo as everyone around them. And then humans came along, and they “went native”. They’re not human, no, but they’re about as close as you can get and still have wings. so of course their love story was so achingly human. I mean, what else could it be, really?

They’re on their own side, and they question and they doubt and they pine and they agonize over furtive glances and stolen touches and communication breakdowns and it’s an absolute mess.

Because their love story is so human and that’s what makes it so beautiful.

This is spot on
