Ahhhh he's such a cutie!!!!!😫😍😍🥺🥺

[blackthorn-faerie]

Remember when “You’re My Best Friend” was playing on the record when Aziraphale’s bookshop was burning down? A headcannon of mine is that Aziraphale plays Queen in the bookshop because he associates it with Crowley’s driving: it’s terrifying. He’s trying to scare off customers.

[shades-o-grey]

So... I don't remember if it is established but I feel it's implied and basically an unstated fact that Crowley and Aziraphale's bodies don't require human functionalities such as the need to use a lavatory, sweat or age. - Any change in their appearance is intentionally made and manifested by their will or as a reflection of their emotional state (they can still feel sensations and discomfort etc.)

Basically, their appearance doesn't experience any change unless they want it to Hair doesn't grow or develop, and they don't age- they don't accumulate dirt or get dirty unless outside factors affect them (soot from a burning car/bookshop - Paintball stains and flying birthday cake etc.). They do not even need to shower or bathe. (Although I think Aziraphale still would because of the whole, 'I'd still know it was there... underneath' thing and just the whole indulgence of the activity would delight him)

Having established these conditions I now ask you this -

What exactly does Aziraphale even do when he visits his barber?

We know Aziraphale is a creature of comfort and habit. He very rarely changes his appearance and latches on to the things he likes. His hair we know doesn't exhibit change throughout the centuries - he mostly goes for a change in facial hair style in favour of the times fashion.

My theory is that Aziraphale visits his barber annually (or perhaps semi-annually) at the same time and on the same day.

As part of his little ritual, I posit that he "miracles" his hair to grow 2 inches in length the very morning of his appointments to see his Barber only to get the length cut back to its usual state - exactly.

Do I think Aziraphale on the appointed days also allows a miracle of scruff on his chin for a shave? Personally... No- I feel like Aziraphale would have a sensory issue / discomfort with the sensation of a dusting of small hairs groaning out of his face. But I do imagine he'd find the process of a professional shave quite relaxing and luxurious.

- Therefore I think he'd miracle a full fluffy beard just to have the satisfaction of having it lathered and shaved of again nice and smooth.

AND THEREFORE BEARD-ZERAPHALE MUST BE REAL!!!

Does he need to go to the barber? No? Does he experience the physical changes that would require a barber? Not unless he manifests them intentionally. Is it purely for self-indulgence? The relaxing routine experience of a haircut, a manicure, and a shave? Absolutely.

Imagining that the first time Crowley said "that doesn't sound like you, angel" Aziraphale was like. "He knows me"

No one else bothered to know his personality or true motives. He lied and hid in front of his superiors. So when he met Crowley, he was understood for once. He was seen. If you've ever had someone point out a little detail about you, you KNOW what I mean

Part of why I love the line changing from "enough of a bastard to be worth liking" to "enough of a bastard to be worth knowing"

He knows him

Zira body study in my sketchbook before bed <3 I love him your honor

Autistic Aziraphale headcanons because we're all sad and I need something to distract myself

You read the title lol. Just my general headcanons about Aziraphale's autism because he's very autistic and Crowley is his ADHD partner (Crowley is also an autism magnet but I'll get into that some other time lmao)

Obviously he likes most human food, but I headcanon that he genuinely can't handle fast food because of how greasy it is. Like, he doesn't mind greasy food (like bacon, steak, fried chicken, foods like that) but fast food is just a whole other kind of greasy and he can't stand it

He loves the texture of his clothes. Those are absolutely comforting to him when he gets too stressed and/or overstimulated (they also just make him very happy in general)

Crepes and sushi are his main safe foods (I will die on this hill)

When he's overstimulated he does become very touch averse depending on the situation

For example: In a large, loud, and crowded area, he wants absolutely no touch other than maybe a pinkie link with Crowley

However, when he touches something with a Bad Texture, he immediately goes to hug or touch Crowley in some way to get rid of the feeling

It's basically canon that he's the Doesn't Know When To Stop Talking Autistic

And while everyone around him (*cough* Heaven *cough*) finds it annoying and absolutely hates it, Crowley loves it and could listen to him ramble on about the stupidest things for hours. Obviously he'll tease him for it though

His special interest is either books or humans in general. I can't decide which one I like more and both are very plausible

He has so many things that he's gathered throughout the centuries for stimming purposes

He also will lightly flap his wings while he's reading, but no one can see that (In a human AU the equivilant of that would be either wiggling his nose or ears while he reads)

He gets so hyperfocused on reading and will stay up for weeks just reading and reading. The other shopkeepers get worried and try to get him to sleep but they won't take "I don't need sleep. I've been drinking coffee all day," as an excuse, and Aziraphale can't exactly explain to them that he's an immortal being that doesn't require sleep

That being said, he does enjoy wrapping himself in layers and layers of blankets

When he found out about weighted blankets he went wild

He has a lot of trouble understanding and remembering human expressions, which is why he talks more like someone from the 1920s (plus, that era's expressions just give him happy feels)

That's all for now. Btw feel free to request anything or even give me headcanons of your own! I love hearing about people's headcanons! The main things I write for is Good Omens and the movie Bright Young Things, so yeah :)

[cryptidspacepirate]

if Aziraphale had an animal symbol (like the demons in good omens), what would it be?

[saspas-library-of-craziness]

What if Aziraphale pronounces some words wrong because he reads them the way they look in his books?

[greenbowlerhat]

an incomplete list of random ass good omens headcanons that i’ve come up with, most of which are at least partially me projecting:

-crowley is a big fan of the iced shaken espresso, aziraphale is of course into the london fog

-when aziraphale greatly enjoys a book he starts buying every nice copy of it he finds

-crowley gets migraines and is very sensitive to the sun, also gets super sick when it’s too hot or cold or when the weather changes too much — see also: he has a big heat lamp of some kind in his bedroom and / or various places in his home

-crowleys favorite color is blue, and nobody knows this — not because he doesn’t want to tell people, just because they never asked and assumed it was black or red

-crowley also likes to act in plays when he gets bored, and aziraphale likes to direct them… i like to think neither of them realized this until aziraphale by chance saw a play crowley was in and then tried to catch him at the stage door and didn’t shut up about it for years after

-aziraphale prefers to read hardback books as opposed to paperback

-crowleys favorite book is the perks of being a wallflower — other than 10-15 specific books he prefers not to read, and maybe he has dyslexia

-aziraphale hates wearing hats, says they “make his head feel weird”

-and so i think after that, crowley bought him earmuffs

-aziraphale can both knit and crochet and right after he learned how for a while he made a ton of stuff and sent crowley home with it every time he saw him

-crowley has a handful of tattoos that nobody knows about (again, not because he’s hiding them, just because nobody’s really gotten a chance to see them), and aziraphale has at least one that IS a secret

will post more if anyone is interested 🤞

Headcanon incoming!

Aziraphale took years to finally read The Book Thief.

Firstly he was just appalled by the thought of a book thief and promised himself he would never read that book.

But many years later he gave it a chance. After he heard it was mainly a fictional book about the Second World War.

He found the book lovely (maybe he even cried a little bit). But obviously that didn’t stop him from checking doors and windows every night and making sure they were miraculously closed. Just in case someone decided stealing books was a better idea than trying to buy them from him.

Something was in that coffee and you can't convince me otherwise

IMAGINE AZIRAPHALE’S CAR

If Aziraphale drove I think he would drive a classic beetle

OR OR

HEAR ME OUT HERE

I know he would consider this to be more modern but the 1995 Mazda Miata MX5

HE COULD HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS WINK AT PEOPLE

It’s also based off of the British roadster so it would fit the image of him being very English

[arielavader]

New headcanon:

Aziraphale doesn't really see any difference between angel!Crowley and demon!crowley. They are the same to him, and his wanting to make Crowley and angel again was only so:

1. They'd be safe and together under the umbrella of Heaven

2. Crowley wouldn't have to do "bad" things, he could do good without fear. Aziraphale has seen him do good and be punished for it.

3. When he says like the old times only nicer, he's talking about their time on Earth, because if they are both a part of Heaven, working together and fraternizing wouldn't have to be done in secret.

Just thoughts.... Thinky Thinky Thoughts...

Headcanons of Aziraphale taking care of GN partner with Chronic Illness/ Disability

1. Aziraphale creates a serene and accessible living space, ensuring comfort and ease of movement for his chronically ill partner. His bookshop was not accessible, and at first he didn’t quite notice how much it wasn’t but as time went on he took stock and made changes.

2. He becomes a connoisseur of herbal teas and soothing concoctions, tailoring blends to help alleviate specific symptoms or provide comfort. He’s done lots of research and though he doesn’t think it’s a cure-all and won’t force it on you, he is truly hopeful it helps you. Even if it’s just tasty and soothing.

3. Aziraphale takes the time to learn about his partner's condition, if there are support groups in the area he is happy to go and learn. He actively participates in their healthcare journey by escorting them and/or attending medical appointments with them. The most he’s learned from about your condition is a true expert, you. He knows you’re the number one authority of your experiences.

4. He designs a routine that accommodates their energy levels. If a day is planned and you may need a nap, he’s thought of it, en luring you to go to sleep early by taking you to bed and staying with you? Absolutely. Occasionally making it so your boss miraculously texts you not to come in or to start late when you need extra rest? Just a wonderful coincidence. He is always prioritizing rest and self-care while incorporating activities that bring joy without overexertion.

5. He is an expert at gentle touch and comforting gestures, offering a reassuring presence during moments of pain or discomfort. Running his fingers through your hair, peppering Angel soft kisses onto you, rubbing your back or anything that needs a soothing touch.

6. Aziraphale becomes adept at recognizing signs of fatigue or distress, adjusting plans and activities accordingly to prioritize his partner's well-being. You barely have to say anything and he’s already making changes, which can be really nice because he never makes it seem like he’s changing it because of you. He knows you would push through your symptoms if given the option, so he makes the call. (Although he’s willing to focus if you really feel otherwise that day)

7. He collaborates with medical professionals to explore complementary therapies or holistic approaches that may enhance his partner's quality of life. He takes lessons in massage therapy, or other practices that may help you so he can take care of you at home, in instances where you prefer another provider or he can’t help adequately, he is eager to help find a provider.

8. He celebrates small victories and milestones, recognizing and acknowledging the resilience and strength shown by his chronically ill partner. He thinks you’re the strongest human he knows and couldn’t be prouder of you.
