aziraphale and crowley try to perform the tiniest most unobservable fraction of a miracle together and they end up producing a massive burst of power so astonishing in scope that it sets off alarm bells in heaven where it can be seen as an enormous purple beam and radiates with a force twenty-five times the energy needed to raise someone from the dead. we’re told only an archangel could perform an act of such earth-shaking consequence which again is the result of them trying to exert their abilities in the subtlest way possible so can you imagine what they’re going to be like in bed? talk about the second coming. in this essay i will
“Surprisingly, really, given the last time you two met, you tried to destroy him. I was there and I do remember, oh very clearly, the look on your face Archangel Gabriel, when you told my only friend to shut his stupid mouth and die. And I… did not… care for it. ”
Theres no amount of fanfiction or wishful thinking that could have possibly prepared me for the satisfaction Davids absolute godly delivery gave me in this scene.
ohhhhhh I truly cannot get over the EVIL GENIUS of having crowley make a point of immediately taking his sunglasses off every time he’s in the bookshop or alone with aziraphale this season, showing just how comfortable he’s become showing his emotions and his vulnerability to aziraphale since season 1, opening himself up completely at every opportunity, showing us a side of him that’s remained almost entirely hidden for millennia, only for him to silently and purposefully put his sunglasses back on immediately once aziraphale rejects his love confession. like, bravo gaiman, I saw what you did there and I’m never going to fucking recover from it. well done
they really brought david tenant’s son in and said hey do you want to play a gay little boy in good omens 2. just a little camp mf. nepotism done right.
Imagine how hurtful it must have been for Crowley to see Gabriel, the person who literally took an active part in the process of traumatising the man he loves into the mindset that he cannot be happy and free, get a happy ending. To see the man, who was one of the reasons Aziraphale haven’t even acknowledged their relationship for such a long time, because they were on “opposite sides”. The man who was one of the reasons they couldn’t be together, even as friends, for 6000 years. The man who wanted to execute Aziraphale with a smile on his face and “shut your stupid mouth and die already” as his “goodbye”. Seeing this man getting what Crowley has always dreamt of: being able to run away with the person he loves, leave Heaven and Hell behind and just be together with his beloved - in Soho or on Alpha Centauri, literally wherever, because “Heaven is wherever Beelzebub is”. Crowley seeing Gabriel get it so… so effortlessly, while he has worked for it so long, nearly died because of it and still haven’t been able to get that, to get the happy ending and sever all the connections with Heaven and Hell. It must have hurt like hell (most literally).
