@softest-punk ‘s amazing writing was the inspiration behind this, ( the text here is from the fic) !please go read their work it is divineee!

Crowley: i wish we could do what Gabriel and Beelzebub did

Aziraphale: same

Aziraphale: *becomes supreme arch angel*

Crowley: thats not what i meant

[ineffablechild]

some of you forget aziraphale actually pulled the trigger to murder adam and it was madame tracy who changed aim last second and it SHOWS

[ineffablechild]

Doesn't he have black nails in every day life or have I just seen too much fanart?

I would just like to point out that Crowley had gold nails for his disguise 😌

[ineffablechild]

I somehow find that hard to believe

[ineffablechild]

I think we're not talking about the second coming enough. Like, what is it? What do we expect? Is it so big that we need the antichrist back? Does the world end?

WHAT DO WE NEED TO EXPECT!?

I love how watching good omens (either season, really) is pretty much just footage of Michael Sheen fighting the Gay Thoughts and absolutely losing

[ineffablechild]

honestly, when I first watched s1, I just thought it was a piece of his car and that he, because it just went up in flames, just wanted something to remember it by...

crowley used the metal tool in season 1 to start time, and we learn that he's used it first to start space. to create the stars -- he still remembers how. he still remembers all of heaven's passwords: in the book crowley is described as an optimist because he has the "utter surety... that the universe would look after him". not god, but the universe. and of course he does: he helped create it and he's looking after it, too.

think about it: aziraphale had a sword, but crowley is about to face satan who wants to destroy the world, and crowley's only weapon is a tool of creation

[ineffablechild]

We all went through all the stages of grief and more tbh

I went through every possible emotion in those last 20 minutes, plus some that I made up on the spot! how are y'all?

[ineffablechild]

I know we're all devastated about the ending of e6, but there's just one question going through my mind over and over again.

WHERE'S ADAM?

Like, what happened to the them? Newt and Anathema? Srg. Shadwell? Madame Tracy became Shax, but like their love story???

And I know they were basically the plot of s1 and I know we needed a new plot, but I kinda miss them...

[ineffablechild]

This. Just this. Also, if they make crowley immediately forgive Azi in s3 there's something wrong with the writers, because he just CAN'T.

Crowley loves this universe so much. He loves creating a thunderstorm to watch Nina and Maggie fall in love just as much as he loved lighting up the cosmos.

Here's what I think:

I think Aziraphale doesn't realize this. Whether it's because of his Religious Trauma or the fact that Crowley doesn't let people see him happy/excited, Aziraphale doesn't believe a demon like Crowley is capable of feeling love for the universe. This is in part why Aziraphale wanted Crowley to become an angel again, because he desperately wants Crowley to be happy in the way that he was when Aziraphale met him. But the thing is, he can be, and often is- he just DOESN'T SHOW AZIRAPHALE THAT SIDE OF HIM. So Aziraphale thinks that Crowley will only be "happy again" as an angel, and Crowley is misinterpreting this as Aziraphale thinking that Crowley isn't GOOD enough. Side note though: Aziraphale knows Crowley can be happy (like when he's rescuing Aziraphale), but he hasn't seen that unfiltered JOY from Crowley in so long. He has a lot of unpacking to do before he understands that angels aren't the only occult creatures who can be joyful and content.

Miscommunication is a theme of this season. At the start of the season, they have communication difficulties. "I think your exactly means something different than my exactly", etc. The conversation they had in the last ten minutes should have been twenty different conversations, but they were speedrunning it all because of the circumstances they were under, and their overwhelming fear of being vulnerable with eachother in that way. A love confession was always doomed to be very difficult between them, because of the nature of their relationship, 6000 plus years of not communicating, and a lack of letting their walls down to let eachother grow together.

In season three, they both need to realize so much shit.

Crowley needs to realize that Aziraphale is in an abusive relationship with Heaven. The Metatron is essentially a figurehead of this abuse that Aziraphale is experiencing (that's why I think they chose for the Metatron to appear as a fatherly figure, possibly even our flawed idea of what God looks like). I think Crowley and Nina should have a chat, and Nina should explain to Crowley how much time it takes to rewire your mind after being in an abusive relationship.

Aziraphale needs to come to HIS OWN CONCLUSION that Heaven is not a fixable institution. This might require an arc of him trying his damned best to fix something made to cause harm. The harm of abusive relationships do not disappear when someone wonderful confesses their love to you (cough cough Nina and Maggie cough cough)

Crowley needs to realize that running away would not end well for either of them. It's not in their nature. They love Earth. THEY CREATED THE FUCKING SOLAR SYSTEM WHEN CROWLEY SHELTERED AZIRAPHALE WITH HIS WING IN THE OPENING SCENE. They can't abandon Earth together.

Aziraphale needs to realize that the Crowley he loves deserves to be as he is (this connects to him needing to understand that Crowley can be happy and joyful without being an angel.)

The important thing to hold on to is that neither of them have malicous intentions towards eachother. they love eachother so god-damned much, they love EARTH so god-damned much, but no matter if you're a 10 year or a 6000 year slowburn, you ain't getting no-where without some fucking character growth.

thank you for reading my thoughts. currently good omens is 98% of them.
