Love without Sex

I’m doing a Philosophy paper on Asexuality. Please reblog if you think Love without Sex is possible! I really need the data. Like if you think love has to have sex.

I always think about the way he threatened them

"You're probably thinking if he can do this. I wonder what else he can do?"

If Aziraphale can protect by going down and risking his entire destruction, torture for eternity, then what else can he do?

"And very very soon, you're all going to get the chance to find out."

That is not a threat. That is a warning. Aziraphale has always put Crowley's safety first.

"They won't just be mad, they'll destroy you."

He always will put Crowley's safety first, whether that's what Crowley sees or not. Aziraphale's choice to leave for Heaven was not his own choice, it was a protection for Crowley.

I will protect you

That look at the end

I will protect Crowley

That is what this gives me.

A Mini-Meta Musing (#2)

What a brave and handsome demon, eh? Courageously facing down the forces of Hell, standing tall despite the threat to his very existance. Crowley showed such fearlessness when he was dragged off to his diabolical trial.

Except that's NOT Crowley. The demonic good looks remain (!), but we know that's actually Aziraphale. The angelic Principality. In Hell. About to be sentenced to an unknown fate.

I've been thinking a lot about Aziraphale lately. Tonight, I was thinking about the incredible Courage Aziraphale showed in his willingness to appearance-swap with Crowley. It was also incredible Love.

Agnes Nutter's prophecy only said, "Ye must choose your faces wisely, for soon enouff ye will be playing with fyre." Nothing about Holy Water or rubber ducks. Hell has a very, very long list of things it can do to punish someone, demons included, many of which might "play with fire." Aziraphale went into Hell not knowing what tortures he'd be facing. But he knew one thing for certain...

He was going to protect Crowley, at any cost.

Over the millenia, Aziraphale had seen many times where Crowley was under constant threat of punishment. I talk about how this affected Aziraphale in another post:

Now, after helping to prevent the Apocalypse and living to tell about it, they get a predestined warning that the danger is far from over. A charred shred falls out of a book of prophecy. The forces of Heaven and Hell want to destroy them. They will be playing with fire.

Our Ineffables are clever, and they've been learning a lot, fast, about how similar angels and demons actually are and what each of them are capable of. Aziraphale can possess humans, and move them from one location to another (the airbase guard). Crowley can survive hellfire, even though it discorporated Hastur. Crowley can play with fire. So they decide to do the unthinkable -- The Appearance Swap.

They take it seriously, indeed. Aziraphale and Crowley had to convince Heaven and Hell, and for a time, they had most of us convinced too. Crowley was enraged at how his angel was being treated ("Shut your mouth and die already"), but he forced himself to smile and fawn and be as polite as an angel with a death sentence could be. Aziraphale, meanwhile, is trying to be cocky, clever, sardonic, every bit the swaggering demon he can be. But look closely. He's not succeeding very well at first. He's subdued. The words sound like Crowley, making ironic jokes. But his head and neck are tense, shoulders rigid. His lips are parted as he looks around in dismay. He genuinely doesn't know what to expect.

If Heaven wants to play with fire to punish an angel, there's likely only one way to do it. But Hell has infinitely diabolical ways to punish a disobedient demon.

"What's it to be? An eternity in the deepest pit?" -- Aziraphale

Aziraphale chose to go into Hell with no certainty that he would ever come out again.

Please pause for a moment. Imagine the Love. The Commitment. The Incredible Courage that choice took.

Aziraphale was willing to risk eternal punishment for Crowley.

Thankfully for our Ineffables, Michael breezes in with the Holy Water. Aziraphale stammers in surprise, but his face is angry as he watches the Holy Water fill the tub. Heaven is only cooperating with Hell to bring about a horrible death for Crowley. His Crowley. He's furious. His posture straightens, he quips about the new jacket. By the time he's splish splashing in the clawfoot bathtub, he's got a very rebellious and smarmy Crowley vibe going on, with just a bit of British-posh angel lingering around the edges.

"I don't suppose that anywhere in the Nine Circles of Hell there's such a thing as a rubber duck?'

Aziraphale then threatens Hell. Threatens. Hell. "So... You're probably thinking, if he can do this, I wonder what else he can do. And very very soon, you're all going to get the chance to find out..." Ominous. An empty threat, a calculated risk.

He convinces them to leave Crowley ALONE.

"Aziraphale is a coward?" "Aziraphale doesn't really love Crowley?" "Aziraphale only cares about himself?"

No. Sorry. That's a mistaken interpretation. Look closer.

He's not perfect. He's actually very human. He's lived here for 60 Centuries, after all. Sometimes he's confusing, contradictory. Aren't we all sometimes...?

But Aziraphale literally allowed himself to be dragged into Hell to save the Being he loves. With no guarantee of returning.

Does Aziraphale love Crowley?

Hell yeah.

@spikievstheuniverse and I collaborated on a 2 page comic for the charity zine @goromcomzine!

It's a crossover between the show Good Omens and the movie D.E.B.S. (one of our favorite movies!)

A quick Halloween post :p

[trashpanda6000]

Random wish for s3:

At some point while Aziraphale is away, Crowley watched the Princess Bride, in search of some mindless movie to pass the time. He definitely did not cry when Buttercup figured out Westley was alive, hush.

Long story short, Aziraphale comes back at some point, manages to convince Crowley to help even though they're still mad at each other. Crowley finds himself responding with "As you wish", almost muttering it (with a lot of contempt) before taking action. It wasn't until later that he realized what he said and why he said it. He tried to think nothing of it, convinced Aziraphale wouldn't know where it was from anyway.

And so it goes, Aziraphale asking Crowley to do something and the demon grunting and complaining but ultimately muttering "as you wish" and doing whatever it was he had been asked.

It's not until months later that they finally sit down and talk, when everything is taken care of. Everything is resolved, they live happily ever after yadda yadda yadda, and without further explanation, Aziraphale starts responding with "As you wish" every time Crowley asks for something, voice dripping with fondness.

Because of course Aziraphale hasn't seen the movie. But the novel is one of his favourites.
