#fellas what’s gayer than loving someone and having to hide it *distant screaming*

Man, this line fucking BROKE me:

It’s the same reason so much of Our Flag Means Death did. How the hell is it we went from being gaslit into thinking the notion of intentional queer subtext is ridiculous… to not only having analysis of that subtext enthusiastically praised, but also somehow conveying it through deliberately queer characters??

Like fucking hell, SO much of what happens to Aziraphale and Crowley throughout the series as a direct result of their relationship and general “otherness” is IMMEDIATELY and VISCERALLY recognizable. We get to see the dangers that stalk us, the complexes, how painful, and confusing, and exhausting it can all get, done in a completely fantastical context. Which we’ve seen before, so many times… but always with straight couples, or “best friends (platonic)”, and always in a condescending “well whatever rocks your boat but I think you’re reading too far into it” way.

Cause he’s not saying this because of anything having to do with the human concept of queerness. I mean hell most immortal beings in this universe don’t even understand how straight sexuality works, or can really make meaningful distinctions between genders, let alone have hang ups about it. … But my fuck, I get it. We all do. I don’t think a single one of us doesn’t know exactly what this feels like.
