I love how the musical theater community occasionally looks at a supposed villain and goes "hear me out... What if he did it cuz he's a gay disaster?". Fr Judas Iscariot? Nah he was in love with Jesus and so worried about him getting hurt that, in true Greek tragedy fashion, ended up being the one hurting him and upon realizing that he hanged himself. Salieri? Nah you don't get it he had a full bdsm gay awakening because of Mozart and became so obsessed with him that he destroyed his career and felt so bad about it he couldn't look at himself in the mirror.

AND IT ALWAYS ENDS UP A FUCKING MASTERPIECE

aziraphale and crowley share a lot of parallels to jesus and judas, if you think about it real hard.

i mean.

i've talked about this before but crowley shares so many parallels to jesus; serpent of eden, lamb of god. perpetuator of original sin, died for humanity's sins. both having intricate scapegoat symbolism tied to their characters, crowley's affinity for goats (seen during the ark and the job minisode). alpha and omega—crowley with the first woman and being the reason why judgement was cast on humanity, jesus with the last man and being the reason why judgement is lifted. condemned for something they cannot control; crowley's curious nature that got him expelled from the kingdom of heaven and jesus' divine bloodline that marked him for inescapable painful death the moment he was conceived. god forsaking them during the most crucial points of their lives.

and, likewise, aziraphale also shares many parallels to judas. in my honest opinion. judas's betrayal of jesus fully believing his and his beloved's pain will be worth it, that it will save everyone, that rome will leave his people alone if he sacrifice the messiah—aziraphale's betrayal of crowley fully believing his and the demon's pain will be worth it in the end because his sacrifice will change heaven once and for all. both being wrong, and both never having the chance to explain nor articulate how grandiose their love is until it was too late. how judas acted as a foil to jesus and often drove him insane, and how a crucial part of aziraphale's ineffable dance with crowley is his refusal and denial.

jesus had asked judas to kill him, and then demanded more of him by asking him to live, to live despite committing the worst sin, to live despite betraying himself and the truth of his love.

and yet he loves him anyway.

crowley grabbed aziraphale by his lapels and kissed him, asked him to stay, that if he leaves for heaven there will be no crowley. no nightingales. no good wine and good books and simple goodness, something that heaven can't even afford. crowley had asked aziraphale to kill him, then asked him to live despite it—killing what was supposed to be quiet and gentle and romantic in a desperate attempt to prevent aziraphale from doing what was good.

and yet he forgives him anyway.

Jesus and Judas paintings I did

[h0mocorrectus]

Fully insane of Aguni to kill the man he loves in a desperate attempt to bring him back to who he once was (before becoming consumed by a cult of people blindly following him) and then sobbing over his body. Fully insane and very Judas coded.

Kiss that is betrayal -> betrayal as a sign of love -> kiss born from love
