I know I haven't mentioned it in a while but I'm still red-stringing about the symbolism of tea vs coffee btw. Alice found a tape recorder and now Sam��s bringing her tea. She's been introduced to the Archives' universe. She's upset and goes to make herself coffee instead. She refuses to be drawn in and finds refuge in the comforting and familiar instead.

Customers waiting in line to buy coffee, October 28, 1942. They were sold one pound each. Similar lines formed at other stores where coffee was being sold on a rationed basis.

If the coffee theory doesn't quite sit right with you, but you're still super weirded out by how much emphasis they put on the order, I think I've figured out some symbolism that could be behind the order that would send a message AND has biblical ties.

We've got an oat milk latte (oats) with almond syrup.

In the Bible, Paul says: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” In other words, you reap what you sow.

What has Aziraphale been doing for the last few years? According to Crowley, dropping the pretense that they aren't a couple. Aziraphale touches Crowley, gazes openly at him, yanks him out to dance with him. That's not even to mention the fact that he was not hiding it very well before, and Heaven knows he's been a "traitor" for a long time.

In other words, to Heaven, he's been wildly irresponsible. He's been sowing his wild oats.

There's been some info floating around that almonds in the Bible mean purity -- there is also a story wherein the almond branch is a symbol that God is always watching. I think it's supposed to be a positive thing, but one could certainly see how that could be threatening.

Putting it together, the message is this: "We know what you've done and we see what you're doing. You think we haven't been watching? Guess again. We are always watching. God is always watching."

Whether Aziraphale knew that right away or not, I don't know. He didn't seem threatened by it. But it's possible that, if he had even a subconscious inkling of the symbolism of these two things, it could've influenced his behavior.

Or maybe it wasn't a message for him at all. Maybe it was a message for the audience. You think Heaven was really just going to go away and our ineffable heroes would just be happy? Hahaha. Think again. Heaven never went away. Heaven will never go away.

If all my pictures look the same, it is because my days aren't exciting; which is good. I like calm.

Today, I started reviewing a topic and realized I learned everything wrong and then spent the whole day trying to understand 0s and 1s

I hope you're getting to understand your classes, stranger.

If you need me I'll be recovering from Like Real People Do

Possibly by re-reading Wading in Waist High Waters

Or by sleeping the sadness away
