Hypothesis: Aziraphale HATES that Crowley is living in his car.
Supporting evidence:
The very first thing we see him do in the present is stop Maggie from moving out and making sure she feels welcome to stay as long as she likes.
He clearly knows Crowley’s unhappy before anything happens in the plot: “Does it calm you down?”. And also clearly feels helpless about it. Enter the conspicuous Eccles cakes: Aziraphale’s offer, which is rejected.
Crowley’s obviously, for all his hedging, spending a lot of time at the bookshop— so much that he has his own glasses perch and feels immediately comfortable removing them. See also: “Technically my bookshop but we both get plenty of use out of it”, “Why don’t you wait inside? You like waiting inside”.
It’s Crowley who immediately shoves the box of plants into Aziraphale’s arms after Aziraphale returns from Scotland.
Speaking of Scotland, why wouldn’t Aziraphale take the train? Why insist on driving the Bentley? Is it perhaps because he wants to get Crowley and his plants into the shop, and thinks if he creates a situation where Crowley has to stay there, maybe he won’t immediately leave again?
He’s got an empty bedroom and an apparently pathological need to make the person staying there very comfortable, creating cute little customized souvenirs like he’s an Air B&B host (displacement!).
He immediately jumps to having Gabriel stay with him— he didn’t have to. Arguably, both Gabriel and Aziraphale would be safer if Gabe stayed elsewhere.
That’s what I’ve got for now but I’m sure there’s more. Throughout the show, watch what Aziraphale gives to others and does for others, and it’ll tell you what he wants to do for Crowley. He’s living so deeply in displacement in makes him come across as manic and brittle.
(What probably happened is Aziraphale offered the spare bedroom and Crowley, who unconsciously didn’t want to be his roommate or sleep in a single bed with Aziraphale right downstairs because how could the poor lovesick boy cope with that, told him he wasn’t a “good deed” for Aziraphale to do and stormed off.)
Conclusion: Aziraphale asked Crowley to stay at his place, immediately and probably repeatedly. They had a row about it, and Crowley refused, and to this day Aziraphale doesn’t understand why.
And it hurts him.
#this might be the start of a longer meta about Aziraphale feeling rejected by Crowley repeatedly throughout this season#being made to feel like he’s doing the wrong thing or not good enough#they’re fracturing apart before the season even starts#all because they both fear rejection so much that Crowley preemptively rejects Aziraphale and Aziraphale is afraid to push#look at the projection and displacement and you’ll see what’s really going on#ineffable husbands#good omens#good omens meta#the awkward homeless Crowley situation#it’s absolutely manufactured and unnecessary#Crowley’s literally circling Aziraphale#and Aziraphale just wants him to come inside#good omens season two#good omens season 2#renew good omens#just so they can finally have a talk about how Crowley is such a drama queen he lived in his car for three years

community that has only seen themselves represented in a small handful of romance stories that aren’t explicitly about their real-world oppression, watching a new show or movie where they are represented in a romantic story that isn’t explicitly about their real-world oppression: getting a lot of “that other show with a queer romance that isn’t explicitly about real-world homophobia” vibes from this
#ofmd#our flag means death#good omens#good omens 2#gentlebeard#blackbeard#aziracrow#txt#og#mine#listen i love pattern recognition as much as the next person but please. please.#the similarities between ed/stede and azi/crow are SURFACE LEVEL#the relationship dynamics are VERY DIFFERENT#one is opposite sides of a war and sworn enemies whose lives are dedicated to The Mission who accidentally fall in love#the other one is two incredibly lonely men who have never had a real friend meeting each other later in life and becoming instant besties#they’re not the same!!! AND THIS IS A GOOD THING!!!!!!!!!!#like do y’all really want all your queer romances to be the same goddamn dynamic over and over again?????#that’s stupid! you should want your diverse romances to be DIVERSE!!!!#go/ofmd both have fancy silly blond man paired with a goth who wears dark clothes#and they both had. very tragic end-of-season cliffhangers due to the blond man’s internalized emotional hangups#but stede/azi are very different characters. and it’s ed/crowley are also very different characters#and their romances! are very different from each other!!!!!#i GET why the comparisons are being made but man they’re getting annoying lol

LISTEN. If we get a bisexual!Buck arc, I will ACTUALLY LITERALLY CRY, I’m already emotional just thinking about it, it will literally bring me so much joy
BUT
I don’t want it at the expense of an Eddie coming out arc…
Bc listen, I read a post talking abt how the writers probably won’t give both of them a really flushed out Queer Realization Arc bc it would be redundant, which like, okay sure, yes, I can see why you wouldn’t want to have two main, male characters going through the exact same thing, so sure, whatever, BUT -
I feel like, out of Buddie, Eddie is going to be the one that really struggles with coming to terms with his sexuality.
Eddie, who had to be The Man Of The House at 10 years old. Eddie, who grew up in the Deep South. Eddie, whose family is Catholic. Eddie, who already had a strained relationship with his judgmental parents. Eddie, who had a WIFE. Eddie, who says that what he had with Shannon was magic & compares every relationship he had to her. Eddie, who was in the military, which is infamous for DADT. Eddie, whose aunt constantly pushes him at random women because he needs to not be alone. Eddie, who canonically suffers from comp-het, saying that dating women feels like putting on a performance, not that he understands why. Eddie, who dated Ana & was planning on staying with her, even though he was unhappy, for his son.
I think Buck would be way chiller with realizing he’s queer - if he doesn’t already know, which is my fav head-cannon - & I feel like he wouldn’t struggle as much bc it’s Eddie, & Eddie is his best friend, and gender wouldn’t play as big a part for him as I think it would for Eddie.
I would love for them both to have an arc where they worked through their expectations when it comes to relationships & realize that they’re queer, but idk man, I feel like Eddie is going to be the one to really struggle & he deserves to really have that flushed out.
Idk, I’ve been thinking about this ever since I saw that post & nobody I know watches 9-1-1 😭
#buddie#911 abc#evan buckley#eddie diaz#911#Queer Buddie Arcs#I want them both to have nice things is that really so unreasonable?#literally all of their other arcs take place at the same time#let them realize they’re queer & in love with each other at the same time too#honestly this only applies if Buddie goes canon which I’m not even convinced is going to happen#i have so many feelings#Buck would just be like “I’m in love with my best friend? fucking dope#bc my darling boy just wants to be loved & chosen & Eddie has already done those things#either way I wish they would stop putting them with random ass women who have been on the show for less than 10 minutes#I don’t need them to go canon in s7 but if we don’t even get a HINT of it this season I’ll probably quit watching#unless s7 is REALLY good bc they put some WEIRD shit in recently that I dfw#I have no idea how Tumblr is supposed to work am I doing this right? idk pls advise

no thoughts, just the way the narumi sisters are so different yet fundamentally similar at the same time yk?
#i love the functionally dysfunctional relationship of the narumi sisters to an unhealthy degree i think…#i’ve just been thinking about how both sisters put each other up on a high pedestal while having a less than high opinion of themselves and.#aaaaaaa just the way sena calls mona her angel while thinking of herself as a useless/subpar older sis#a n d how the main source of mona’s depression is her constant comparisons with her beloved big sis sena is just. aaaaa#just!!!! the way sena pushes herself past her limits in her attempts to portray herself as an ideal big sis for mona#even at the expense of her own health sometimes (see also: the beach sisters honeypre event)#i really feel like the way sena thinks she isn’t good enough of a big sis to mona is pretty glossed over for the most part tbh.. man.#(i have many thoughts on this tbh. none of them coherent)#and just. aaaaaaaaaaaa im really happy that both of them have great support systems (their families + [midori for sena]/[monacas for mona])#like. even though they don’t personally think they’re good enough compared to their ideals…#at least they have people who are there to love them for who they truly are. their true selves (honto no watashi) if you will—#idk i just wish both of them could see themselves exactly how their sister sees them…#b ut man i really want idol sengen season 2 just so that we may be able to see how sena reacts upon finding out what happens to the bracelet#i doubt they’ll show it in an mv but. man. i really want to know how she’ll react…#im probably misremembering and misinterpreting a bunch of stuff about sena huh… i miss her thoughhh#i miss seeing the sisters together tbh. i think the gen 3 sibling pairs should sing together a la tokyo [season] session style

@itspileofgoodthings tagged me to post gifs from 10 favorite tv shows! haven't done this in a while (2020, 2018) so I'm gonna try to make sure all the new beloveds get in here. they are in a particular order and the order is "gifs I thought looked nice next to each other"
special mention to not a tv show but the miniseries of my heart:
don’t remember who’s been tagged yet so I’m tagging @drharleyquinn-medicinewoman @mademoisellesarcasme @motleysaint @cakeyouareoh @thebirdandhersong @iamfitzwilliamdarcy @contagiousgrace have fun!
#tag game#stranger things btw is on the THINNEST ice#both bc s3 and s4 had some whole arcs that were simply not enjoyable#and because the good arcs which currently barely outweigh the bad arcs could be completely undermined#if they don’t NAIL this last season#and idk dude after Veronica Mars and The Good Place and Ted Lasso…I don’t have much faith in showrunners anymore lol#just because a show started good doesn’t mean it’ll end good#because show runners don’t know what they have and they don’t know (literally!) what it is that they’re doing#but for the moment! for this shining moment! season 4 had such a good story and set up such a beautiful story

i think i make it very obvious that season five is my least favorite season of 911 by miles, but in hindsight isn’t it absolutely bonkers insane that they gave us all that in 4x14 and then proceeded to spend a half season EACH to meticulously break up the two relationships that they’d previously spent SEASONS setting up for both buck and eddie?
that’s literally crazy. the shooting is THE first domino you cannot change my mind.
#911 on fox#911 fox#buddie#like maybe it wouldn’t have been FUN for anyone involved but it would have been so so easy to make eddie’s character arc about#learning to grow into a new dakiki dynamic with ana#and it would have been so easy to make bucks arc about learning to accept taylor for her faults just as she accepts him for his#but they literally didn’t#they took an entire season of this show to make both eddie and buck do BAD things to their partners#they made them into bad partners#in order to specifically paint us the picture that they’re only going to BE good partners when they’re with eachother#and not only good partners but better and healthier people#okay idk what the hell a dakiki is but pretend that said family***#i stg if i don’t get the tag editing feature in the next week i’ll cry

On one hand Trevek is canon which is infuriating and terrible because Trevor deserves better and Derek is a nothing character with no likable or sympathetic traits beyond occasionally having funny lines and Emily is literally right there. On the other hand Trevek is canon which is awesome because Noahh’s character had to kiss a man
#alex’s dc rambles#anyways. ep 18 bad but who’s surprised#Jake and Riya are so alike because they’re both great in their og seasons and lowkey terrible here#I’m still team Jake because yk he’s been my scrimbly from day one but Ally deserves it a little more maybe…imo…#really hope Jake and Ally finally make up tbh I really love both of them and need them to be besties#or at least chill#also s2 riya absolutely deserved to make finale and I loved here there but honestly having a character make the finale twice is…mmm…#like give someone else a shot. she hasn’t even had a good arc this season like she did in s2#also I’m glad Connor is gone because I did not like him as a finalist#or even as a character since his comeback tbh early s3 Connor come back to me#but him leaving as like. idk a hero sacrificing himself. like it wasn’t deserved#hate how he’s treated as such a golden boy like somehow hes always in the right#sigh. society if grett and/or gabby made the finale#wtv. that hotel episode better sweep. also if they start villainizing Emily I’m going to bite my computer in half

Aziraphale and Crowley were wrong in their choices.
Aziraphale thinks he needs to choose Heaven so he can “make things right.” just like when he talked to Metatron in season 1 instead of running away with Crowley.
Crowley thinks they should ignore all the problems and run away together just like he did in season 1.
these decisions are both wrong. but they’re both too stubborn to think any other way. at least for now.
#(but they’re the EXACT same choices they made in season 1)#i’m tired of the aziraphale slander and hate i’m seeing#like he isn’t some evil guy now.????#he’s doing what he thinks is right and trying to change the flaws HE KNOWS heaven has.!#and he is doing it FOR crowley!! and for all angels and demons!#but he’s also WRONG!!#going back to heaven and being in the middle of it all ALONE will not work! they won’t listen!#but CROWLEY IS WRONG TOO.#they shouldn’t leave these problems that THEY COULD FIX there and just run off!#as an angel and demon that have ALREADY STOPPED THE GREAT PLAN ONCE they shouldn’t just turn their backs!#but that’s what crowley wants to do!#so yeah. they’re both wrong and it’s so sad and it’ll all be ok#zero communication is my least favorite thing but it’s fine because this story is amazing#good omens#go2 spoilers#ineffable husbands#good omens 2#not cr#good omens spoilers#aziraphale#anthony j crowley#crowley#leigh speaks#aziracrow

ok so i originally was only gonna talk about good omens in order to explain how i got this idea but then i thought more and changed my mind
so Aziraphale as a character appreciates the inherent beauty and goodness of humanity, that’s like half his character, but he’s (how do i say this nicely) a bit stuck up about it. He likes fancy wine and old books and classical music and dining at the ritz. he’s into the finer things. which is all well and good it’s an incredibly interesting part of his character (there’s another post i should write about how this trait interacts with him being an angel but i digress).
what i think would be really interesting to see is a character meant to juxtapose this, someone who appreciates beauty and goodness in all of humanity not just the finer things. yeah, fine wine and tea are great, but so are fireball and monster energy. classical music is good, and it goes on the same playlist as the CD they bought off a stranger on the train. Art museums full of well regarded paintings and sculpture are amazing, but so are spray paint murals. Classic literature is just as good as weird children’s books or zines.
just a character who sees beauty in all parts of people and isnt put off by the weirder stuff.
my first thought if i were to make original character was someone like crowley, also immortal, been on earth the same amount of time and watched humanity progress the same way, and use that to show the dynamic there but i actually think it would be better in someone like Muriel.
much much newer to earth, without knowledge of  etiquette or prejudice. discovering the world on their own with reckless abandon. finding absolutely everything cool and fascinating with no regard to what is proper and respectable.
idk how to end this, i just think the dynamic of two characters like that would be cool. wouldnt have to be good omens, that was just the jumping off point
#a bit punk rock but not explicity? if that makes sense?#I’m not being mean to aziraphale i love him and this part of his character is cool#i just think if you gave him a red hot cheeto or a warhead candy he would discorporate#good omens season two#good omens#aziraphel#crowley#muriel good omens#other thoughts:#having them both be immortal non humans improves the dynamic#eapecially if they’re start out the same ie as angels#i think it would be funny for muriel to be like this and crowley gets to watch#to have him watch them and compare to aziraphale i think could lead to interesting development for him as a character

I think the nature of Clara haterism on Tumblr can’t be fully understood without the historical context of 2013. Namely that by the time of DW season 7b Moffat was widely hailed as The Bogeyman Of All Misogyny Ever. Clara was considered THE prototypical Shallow Moffat Girl, and she became a sort of figurehead for everything wrong with the show. (Bc everyone was maybe 14 and Smith was too beloved to insult.) Consequently, she evokes a kneejerk bad faith reading response in many users even today.
yeah, alright, i can see that. i am surprised that, at least as far as i’ve seen, amy & river don’t get the same treatment? or if they did, it hasn’t persisted half as long as opinions on clara have. Because having now seen how all three of them were written, amy got treated. so much worse with The Misogyny™️, and River bounces between ‘actually a fascinating character’ and ‘moffat wrote a sexy girlboss who wants to fuck the doctor’ so hard it gives me whiplash. (and i say this as a River enjoyer, I love her and she deserves so much better lmao.)
Of the three of them, I think Clara actually comes out a lot better written overall? She’s allowed more space to be a character rather than be a woman, if that makes sense. Sure, bit of a rocky start in s7, and I can certainly see why the Impossible Girl thing could be aggravating to some people. (I think it was. Fine. fantastic episode conceptually that sort of fell apart when it came to actually doing anything.) but Clara in s8 (and the start of s9) is fantastic. Her relationship with Danny and the Doctor is messy and deceptive and so understandable. “Listen” as an episode almost felt like ‘hey what if the clara putting herself in the doctor’s past was actually interesting and impacted him’. Her becoming more like the Doctor, especially after losing Danny, both as an effort to hold on tight to the only person she perceives as keeping her moving forward and giving her a purpose AND because to her, the Doctor is able to lose so much and not be destroyed by it and she wants that (without really understanding just how much this life is fucking him up, too.), is just. fantastic.
where was i going with this. i have no idea. my point, i think, is: i guess i can see how initial reactions to clara might color a less than flattering picture of the rest of her, but :( consider: i love her so so much and everyone should be niceys to her.
#i was sort of neutral on clara for most of s7 i think#she had great moments but i think a lot of what was holding her back was the same thing holding most of eleven’s seasons back as a whole#which to me was. what the fuck are they doing with that guy. does anyone know. did anyone have a thesis in mind for this man.#which makes it hard to build a companion around him as a foil because what are you foiling.#amy & rory didn’t have this problem as much because they were a set do not separate and thus could play off each other as well#(river. is another story.)#and because 11’s relationship with the ponds was maybe the one thing the show kept on track the whole time and understood what it was doing#with them. clara’s is. a lot messier. it’s both building to a twist with the impossible girl thing that’s. a bit lackluster.#and then 11 without the ponds is. kind of a mess. like. character-wise. even more so than before. as far as i perceived it anyway.#but 12 does not have that problem! 12 starts off with a bang knowing exactly where he’s going as the doctor and what question he’s answering#about himself. and that gives clara so much more room to grow herself as she patterns herself after him both to feel important and to escape#the horrifyingly mundane trauma of her boyfriend. dying. in a normal way. that was also her own fault. (not really but i believe she thinks#it is.)#you know. if s8 12 is asking ‘is the doctor a good man?’ and answering ‘no. he’s just a man. he’s just there and he makes the decisions#and he doesn’t even know if they’re the right ones.’#then s8-s9 clara is responding with ‘well. if the doctor isn’t a hero. then what happens when someone tries to emulate him that sees him as#one. or worse: as someone who ought to be one.’#and the answer seems to be ‘bad idea. very very bad idea. this is fucking her up so bad and she doesn’t even realize it.’#granted im not at the end of this plotline but so far: ITS GOOD!!!! clara is great!!!!#anyway. thats my clara thoughts. actually i have more about ehy the moon abortion episode (bad) was ooc for the doctor but! very good#character moment for clara in reacting to what he put her through and how that’s foundational to how she’s rebuilding herself in his image.#but ill leave off here.#clara oswald#dw lb#ask
