#this is so serene and beautiful

[azfellandco]

It's about Crowley bearing witness to Aziraphale's desire, about the way that desire is animal and visceral and enormous and terrifying*. And about how Crowley sees that and wants it. Crowley offers the ox rib and watches Aziraphale eat because eating provides them no sustenance, it's purely for pleasure, sensual, selfish. And Crowley introduces Aziraphale to this, and thousands of years later still takes obvious pleasure in feeding Aziraphale, in watching him eat. In watching Aziraphale's pleasure.

And I think it's significant the things we see Crowley put into his body in s2, and why: six shots of espresso, as something bracing before seeing what it is that made Aziraphale call him in his "something's wrong" tone; whiskey, because he has to give Aziraphale some bad news; wine, because they "might as well get comfortable" during the storm coming down on Job, after Aziraphale learns that Crowley is actually pretty unhappy with Job's suffering; and poison, to dispose of it so Elspeth (or Wee Morag, I've fogotten which is which) doesn't die. Crowley doesn't take Aziraphale's "something that calms you down", only consumes things that not only don't bring him pleasure but are an attempt to prevent pain. Crowley, who introduced Aziraphale to this important physical, sensual, selfish pleasure, denies it to himself. He denies himself the eccles cakes, he denies himself partaking in food, and he denies himself Aziraphale.

And we see throughout the rest of the season other things he's denying himself: the comfort and safety of a home in the bookshop in favor of the mobility and ready-made escape of living in the Bentley, the surety of saying what he really means during the confession. He cannot bring himself to admit what he wants, that he wants. Gabriel and Beelzebub "going off together" is not what he wants. He wants Aziraphale, but he doesn't say that, because he's never, in the years and years and years we've seen this season, let himself want or be seen wanting. "Going off together" is as close as he can get to speaking it. "A group of the two of us" is as close as he can get. So he has to watch as Aziraphale leaves and takes his pleasure in the world with him.

As terrifying as it would have been, I like to think there was a moment of peace there at the end, among the stars.

So... this is the next part of the Shakarian comic, but it's not the big one I said would come next. I've made the decision to put that on the back burner for now and pick away at it a lot more slowly while I continue on with what I originally had planned. The next thing you see from me will likely be the Joker-centric part I mentioned a while back, but for now please enjoy this rare coloured comic in the meantime.

You know what would be better than Branch proposing? Better than Poppy proposing? Better than the two of them proposing at the exact same time?

No proposal at all. 

Zero extravaganza.

The complete antithesis of the troll way.

Just two little guys, so in love, that look at each other and go “Hey. I think we need to be married now.” And then they do.

Imagine how much more meaningful it would be.

Imagine Poppy telling her friends “so Branch and I wanna have the wedding next month” and everyone just loses their minds. Satin and Chenille are like “tell us everything???? How did we not hear the proposal??? How did you do it????” And Poppy’s just like “we just…knew?” And Smidge is like “no proposal? Oh you two are down BAD.”

Meanwhile Branch is at home with Prince D, Cooper, Tiny Diamond, and Floyd and they’re all just jumping around flailing their arms all giddy.

I don’t know man, I just think it would be stupid cute and show so much character growth, shut up.
