#season 2 flashbacks

[p4nishers]

can we talk about how much queer and trans joy was this season? maggie and nina. they/them muriel, saraquel, beelzebub, even GOD. "you're a good lad" "im not actually, either". that one shopkeeper and his non binary spouse, played by a non binary actor. beelzebub and gabriel. shax, nina and maggie all thinking azi and crowley were together. also yes i'm gonna mention: crowley and aziraphale's kiss. it's just, i get that everyone's hurt and so am i but can we please focus on how beautiful this season was to us? we got so much and i'm so happy, despite the ending.

The bear trying to gaslight me into believing Claire and Carmy’s relationship was all sunshine by putting some never seen before flashbacks where he is suddenly smiling all the time… when the only thing we see season 2 is him miserable and worried and bathed in blue light everytime he is with or thinks about Claire, to the point he even had a panic attack about it????

Hi, do you have the list of flashbacks we could have had but didn't? Thanks!

Hiya! Oooh, like the historical scenes? :) I shall try:

Season 1 - written but not shot:

In which Crowley gets drunk with Leonardo da Vinci - where Crowley does that and buys his Mona Lisa sketch. (in the ultimate script book)

The bookshop opening scene - with Gabriel and Sandalphon as Regency dandies, and Crowley bringing Aziraphale chocolates and saving him from having to leave the bookshop by ‘being promoted’ to Heaven. (in the ultimate script book)

In which Aziraphale almost sells a book - with Aziraphale as Victorian Bookseller. (shared by Neil on his twitter or in the ultimate script book)

In which Crowley goes clothes shopping - scene preceding the 60s one where Crowley shops for ’psychedelic black’ paisley jacket. (in the ultimate script book)

honourable mention: the Rome scene is a smol bit longer with Aziraphale and Crowley talking about Nero and Caligula - this was shot but cut (also in the scriptbook)

(also, I have like a foggish memory Neil mentioning considering them in the ancint egyptian era possibility? 🤔 can't find it so not sure :))

Season 2 - only planned or written but not filmed because covid shortened the episodes (covid costs made 55min episodes into 42min episodes :( ):

an Arabian Nights one by a British-Sudanese author who had made a study of the period and the material previously and she was determined to tell a story set in that time and place that wasn’t from, a “stereotypical western vantage point”. It had a djinn.

a 15th century Papal one

a Wild West one

a 1960s American one with Crowley and Aziraphale female presenting. 

Bonus: When Neil was asked about a Christmas special:

Not one that’s going to be on this Christmas, no.

(Thinks, we could do the Birth of Jesus one, where Aziraphale is in the Inn and has rented out all the rooms to welcome Mary and Joseph, and then is sent out to be glorious to the shepherds and forgets to tell anyone at the Inn that the rooms aren’t just for him.)

(Or The Victorian one where Crowley, Aziraphale and the Usher Of Hell are determined to reform a miser by disguising themselves and turning up in his bedroom on Christmas Eve….)

(still hoping to get... all of them :D! <3)

[hopelesslysleepy]

Crowley: So...you keep a gun in the bookshop in case you "get into a scrape" there. Because bookshops are notoriously violent places.

Aziraphale: Well, we are at war.

Crowley: But you don't bring it along when you go to confront and doublecross Nazis. With whom Britain is at war.

Aziraphale: What exactly is your point?

I remembered I have some interesting photos on my gallery since 2021

THE SUNSET CURVE DEMO

I found the photos randomly on a site

What was interesting to me was the description on the demo. They met at high school (apparently they didn’t study at Los Feliz) and formed the band while being students (which was obvious)

It’s such a same we never heard Late Last Night, Lakeside Reflection and In Your Starlight

+ I love this photoshooting so much🥹

graffiti (pow-pow and jinx)

oh so do u think when stede learned zheng conquered china he was having war flashbacks to "we'll go somewhere they'll never find us. we'll go to china" bc i think he was.

[random-weirdo]

Aziraphale and Crowley kissed

Oh my god

[arowyn-m]

I’ve probably said this before but I will be a tiny bit disappointed if we don’t get a flashback to late-teens Viktor…I want to see him meeting Heimer and sneaking into the academy and other shenanigans—we’re missing the sass development between the kid that ran from Singed’s lair and Act 1 Viktor fr

[lookingforcactus]

Okay but the sheer lightness of Siuan's face in the flashbacks compared to the sheer heaviness in most of her current scenes

(except for (the happy parts of) her s1 datenight with her pufferfish, ofc!)

She looks halfway to a different person, she looks so AGED despite her glacially slow aging as an Aes Sedai!

Hell yeah Sophie Okonedo talk about fantastic acting

[actual-changeling]

look, you can argue that in season 1 they both had a plan, but let's be real here—they both SUCKED. then again, at least one would have worked and it's not aziraphale's.

crowley looked at that gigantic, inevitable mess and went "no child = no apocalypse, gotta kill him unfortunately". would have worked.

meanwhile aziraphale did the equivalent of staring at a burning building and then going "let me call my boss" instead of the fucking fire brigade.

they're both so smart but trauma makes you stupid sometimes.

You Won’t Fall

You won’t fall.

You won’t fall because Hell isn’t the place for someone with such a pure heart and soul.

You won’t fall because you probably wouldn’t have done anything wrong if it wasn’t for me.

You won’t fall because you don’t deserve it.

You won’t fall. Not when I’m the one tempting you.

Not when I know what that would do to you.

How it would change you. Destroy you.

The same way it did to me.

You won’t fall because I can’t bear the thought of the same thing happening to you.

You won’t fall. Because I’ll protect you from it.
