#bastille bitch

[bluberryfields]

Hands off the merchandise, Jean-Claude! You have no idea how long it took Aziraphale to pick the perfect lunch date outfit and it just won't do to mess it up now

[caernua]

so… my question is… when tf are we gonna get an ac with good animations again

[graysongraysoff]

UN FOLLOW ME NOW

[birchbow]

Can we see a drawing of Travye all embarrassed and flustered cuz of bastil. That would be the best thing ever!!!

TBH you really have to picture a huge, solemn, very dignified tiger being bopped repeatedly in the face by a kitten lmao. THE AFFRONT. THE INDIGNITY.

Anonymous asked: Bastille had my whole heart in a purely platonic manner and I wish her so well in her pursuit of Feeder Trayve. She's gotta have the gumption if she's gonna fill that quadrant.

oh anon she would need a whole lot more than gumption lmao

[rpfofficial]

people don't think bastille is a good band because their songs that become the most popular tend to be pretty mediocre especially compared to the rest of the discography and the thing is that bastille deep cuts are a million times better than their top 10 most streamed tracks on spotify or whatever

[cadavertrolls]

Shoutout to my 5am trip down the nerve agent rabbit hole unlocking cursed information about Bastille that I'm still 😬 about!

[justkellme]

Nothing more annoying than seeking the right sensation all day then going to play on a swing at night while listening to a specific song and the brain being like yep that’s what I was looking for. Bitch you told me you were looking for a taste.

Why Aziraphale is completely ridiculous in the Bastille scene (and I love him so much for it)

A while ago I posted a comparison of Aziraphale and Crowley's costumes in the 1793 flashback in Good Omens and I wanted to add these little tidbits. (Because they haunt me.)

I feel like most people know this but IF YOU DON'T, Paris in 1793 is right in the middle of something called La Terreur.

HISTORY LESSON If you didn't learn this in school the French Revolution was when, after years of escalating social tension, a coalition representing the working classes of France revolted against the monarchy, violently overthrew King Louis XVI, and declared France to be a republic.

The new National Convention governing France ruled that King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette were traitors to the people of France because of how they had spent ridiculous amounts of money on luxuries for themselves while vast numbers of the lower classes were literally starving to death. (keep the bold in mind - wealth and class disparities were one of the key causes of the whole-ass revolution)

In 1793 (year of the flashback) both the King and Queen were executed by guillotine for their crimes.

This kicks of something called The Reign of Terror (La Terreur if you want to be French about it). A multi-year-long period in which the National Convention goes on a bloody witch hunt for any and every member of the middle or upper classes who could even possibly be considered a traitor by those same standards.

If you A) had money or privilege, and B) had ever used your money or privilege to treat yourself, you were getting executed. Over 25,000 people died during the Reign of Terror, half of them by guillotine. In fact, the iconic guillotine was used because it was physically impossible to keep up with the sheer number of people they were executing in Paris every single day.

Some things that could get you killed (actually and completely seriously) during the Reign of Terror:

Implying in any way you were sympathetic to the monarchy

Having a noble title

Having expensive things

Wearing expensive, luxurious clothes (*cough* AZIRAPHALE)

helping or sympathizing with anyone who did any of the above

a working-class person saying you were mean to them once

And then there's this bitch...

I AM NOBILITY PLEASE KILL ME So we have established that Paris in 1793 is in the middle of a frenzied, state-sanctioned bloodbath in which the working classes are massacring everyone even remotely nobility-adjacent. And in the middle of this frenzy, Aziraphale proceeds to roll up in Paris in this outfit:

How will this outfit get him killed? Let me count the ways...

First off- at this point everyone with even the tiniest shred of self- preservation is hiding the fact that they are in any way associated with the monarchy. The wealthy are straight-up abandoning mansions. The middle-class are plastering over decorations to make their house look 'poor'. The only people dressed remotely decent are the guys leading the National Convention and that's just because nobody can stop them. Everyone else is in 24/7 peasant cosplay or else they are covering themselves in cockades and sashes on to show they're pro-Republic.

Aziraphale is basically a giant shiny white sign saying I AM NOBILITY PLEASE KILL ME.

First off the lace jabot and lace cuffs are both associated with the old-school wealthy in the 1790's.

His coat is also decorated in gold braid and silver buttons, which are both marks of wealth and luxury.

He basically looks like he works for Louis XIV - not just rich, but old school rich.

We know it's his natural hair color, but hair powdering (with clay and starch) had been a big trend with the rich all throughout the 18th century to get that clean white venerable look . To someone who doesn't know it's natural, it would very much look like he's wearing hair powder.

He's wearing shades of cream and white, which are very hard to keep clean and clearly states that the wearer is rich and can afford the upkeep necessary to keep an outfit like that stain-free.

He's wearing white knee-breeches and stockings, also called culottes. See above about laundry and how rich you had to be to wear white, but also working-class men wore long pants like this:

A large faction involved in the Revolution were the Sans-Culottes (no-culottes aka we wear long pants LIKE GOOD OLD WORKING MEN). Culottes are specifically associated with everything the revolution hated. That's right - Aziraphale is literally wearing The Fanciest of Fancy Pants in a city where a group called The Men Against Fancy Pants are running around murdering people.

And then there are his shoes.

Oh god his shoes

I could do a whole post about Aziraphale's blessed little white satin pumps and how ridiculous they are.

Actually I might just do that because this is getting so long and I still have to talk about the brioche.

So I can't remember if it's in the script book or if it's from Neil Gaiman's tumblr, but it's apparently canon (?) that Aziraphale was going around in that outfit asking people where he could get crepes and brioche when he was arrested.

The Affair of the Brioches

So... uh... we've all heard the line attributed to Marie Antoinette- how when she was told that her people were starving because there was no bread left in Paris, she famously said...

It's morphed into 'let them eat cake', but the line is first recorded as, "Then let them eat brioches."

While it's unlikely she ever actually said it, the important thing is that... people in 1793 would have thought she said it. It was used as political smear to show how arrogant and out of touch the monarchy was. Marie Antoinette in particular was reviled by the people of France, who thought she was the main cause of their economic problems. That's why she was executed too.

Bread and brioche and the lines between poverty and privilege were a big thing in Revolutionary France. There was a lot of political connotation to what you ate. The French Revolution came about because of decades of suffering among the lower classes of France. It wasn't something that some dudes just decided to do. The people of Paris have been through years of the absolute worst, most oppressive poverty and starvation you can imagine, all while watching the rich throw money around crazy.

So let us recap.

Aziraphale is dressed so ridiculously posh that he looks like a joke parody of a nobleman... and he is bumbling around Paris during the Reign of Terror. Asking people. For brioche. How I imagine everyone looked at him:

It is so astoundingly tone deaf and tactless. He is basically cosplaying as Marie Antoinette and then going around asking the poor for cake.

I just.... Aziraphale. babygirl. no. oh no. You're lucky they even bothered to take you to prison. I am amazed Crowley ever let him live that down.

I have no conclusion other than this. Aziraphale is ridiculous and I love him so much.

YES YOU REALLY SHOULD SIR.

[federal-goose]

ok maybe it’s the brainrot but i don’t see enough ppl talking about the s1 ep3 bastille scene. aziraphale would rather put up with the paperwork of being discorporated than dress appropriately because he “has standards.” he popped across the channel during a revolution because he wanted something to nibble. he sits prettily in a grimy little cell waiting for his boyfriend crowley to show up because he doesn’t wanna do another “frivolous miracle.” because “rescuing me makes him so happy.” then crowley shows up in his slutty little outfit and aziraphale short-circuits. that “oh good lord,,” is the most down-bad gay panic reaction i have ever heard. he looks crowley up and down like he’s the crepes. then he immediately miracles an outfit just so they can go on a little date. “hardly a miracle, really.” i know this bitch planned the whole interaction out from the beginning expecting to be saved my mr. “acts-of-service.” and it fucking works, he knows crowley that well. i’m just so normal about it.

Good Omens Love Letter- by @/elnorawhittaker

Day 2. Favorite GO Series Moment-

I can't pick just one, but my faves do all mostly have something in common. My favorite S1 moments are the entirety of the Bastille Scene because Aziraphale is so annoyed and over it and he looks so cunty in his outfit, Crowley comes and saves him because of course he does, and they both just carry this energy that I THRIVE OFF OF! It's SO good!

Other fav S1 moments are when Aziraphale and Crowley are talking in a restaurant about how they could find the Antichrist, and Aziraphale says, "One single better idea?" THAT SHIT IS SO FUNNY BECAUSE HE SAYS IT IN SUCH A BITCHY WAY THAT MAKES ME SCREAM!! I swear when I saw that scene I was replaying it over and over because that line TOOK ME OUT! Then he just eats his cake afterward and Crowley is just so over his attitude. It's a beautiful scene. The other one is where Aziraphale has his monolog and Crowley just fucking shuts him down with "for my money it was just an ordinary cock-up" LIKE MY GOD HIS REACTION IS PRICELESS!! I LOVEEE when they are bitchy to each other it makes me cackle every time.

Now for season 2 my fav scenes are the magic scene where Furfur gets Aziraphale's name wrong and corrects him and the dance because again, I LOVE IT when these two are absolute BITCHES to either themselves or others. It KILLS ME. Then the other one is the scene where Aziraphale holds Crowley's waist, and it's so sweet that it makes my heart hurt. The music, though, is really what sells that scene. It gives me butterflies every time I see it. It was another scene I rewatched over and over, and that scene's music is my favorite track from S2 hands down.
