Aziraphale: there's flashes of love here again. where you and I are. that's the second time today

Crowley, trapped in the car and in need of an escape from this conversation: I'm going to knock that woman off her bicycle

and don't think we didn't notice in the next scene you trying to growl and refuse to make eye contact Crowley.

the fact Crowley knows Aziraphale's "something's wrong" voice implies that Aziraphale has called him for things being "wrong" that aren't, presumably, world-ending catastrophes. like the hinges on his bookshop doors being a bit squeaky. or a customer that won't leave. or any number of things he doesn't need Crowley to fix for him but are a convenient excuse to call him and pout down the phone until he rushes over and rescues him

6 months on it still thinking about how much of a shock that kiss must’ve been to Aziraphale.

The way Crowley steers his cooperation around really gave Aziraphale no warning at all. I was thinking about the development of their body language and it’s interesting to me so have an analysis under the cut.

Crowleys body language doesn’t change all that much over the course of their history. After their initial meetings as angels then in Eden, Crowleys already leaning in, orbiting and slinking around in quite a comfortable, familiar way. He tends to angle his body towards Aziraphale and stands quite close to him. He shows no sign of being fearful or uncomfortable. He quite happily moves in and around Aziraphales personal space without a care in the world even when they hardly knew each other yet.

Aziraphale however starts out looking guarded and unsure. He often stands facing forward while talking to Crowley sideways.

As we go through history Aziraphale becomes more comfortable. He opens up, starts to angle his body more towards Crowley, stops guarding with his hands and moves into Crowleys space on his own. And he starts to initiate physical contact where it’s not even necessary.

But the only times I can think of Crowley initiating physical contact before the kiss are ones that could easily be written off as just friendly or something else like

The wall push (which was aggressive)

The magic shop handshake is practical for sealing the deal

The handhold for the swap (mutual initiation, also practical we assume)

Sitting on the arm of the chair and kinda sorta leaning on Aziraphale when Muriel turns up

Crowley also tends to reject Aziraphales touch by removing himself from it like in the 1800’s, dodging with some roundabout footwork or leaning away. With moments like the pub or the shoulder touch he doesn’t have much of a visible reaction. Granted his eyes are hidden but Aziraphale probably thinks he just doesn’t like being touched. And yes, Neil said they like holding hands, but do they know the other likes holding hands?

And I can hear you say ok then why does Crowley always put himself within touching distance if he don’t wanna be touched? Yeah, he does, but from Aziraphales perspective Crowley has always done this. He’s always been standing close or leaning in. It’s just how he is. Aziraphale is the one who’s changed. He’s become walking megaphone just blasting ‘please hold my hand before I discorporate on the spot pleasepleaselpleaseplease…’

Aziraphale is clearly a physical touch being. He reaches for Crowley in the most stressful or emotionally charged moments. And I think he has been holding back (we can see that on his face) but there’s times where he seems to stop himself mid motion from touching Crowley. Such as after Gabriels appearance and Az is trying to keep Crowley calm

When Crowley says he’s going to take the humans out

And when Crowley goes to take Maggie and Nina out of the bookstore when Heaven and Hell are there. There is a safety element here as it’d be unwise for him to show his affection with Heaven or Hell around but Aziraphales first instinct is to reach for him. But Crowley just gets out of the way like he does it all the time. It’s another dance they do, Aziraphale pursues with physical affection, Crowley avoids. And Aziraphale doesn’t want to cross boundaries he’s perceiving Crowley to be putting up around physical affection so he’s holding it back.

And I think all that is part of the reason Aziraphale looks angry after the kiss. He’s possibly thinking (among many other things) that Crowley has rejected or ignored his physical affection all this time, making Aziraphale think he didn’t want it when he did. And that would be a painful thing to realise when you thought you yearned alone.

So I don’t blame Aziraphale for being upset when he gets this sudden enormous dose of physical contact out of the blue. He had no warning. On the contrary, Crowleys been acting like a big, prickly, demonic cactus. And it would’ve been endlessly confusing to be kissed after years believing the want for even the lightest of touches wasn’t reciprocated.

Touchy Feely

Crowley didn’t hear any of what was just said, but he’s soft and compliant now, which is just according to Aziraphale’s plan.

Imagine being Andrew Scott and stupid ass Jos Alwyn won’t even answer your texts in your tortured man gc and then now his ex gf, who happens to be the most famous woman in the world, is semi-roasting him by dragging your gc into it that you made to flirt with your friend Paul Mescal. I mean. It’s really his It Girl year

We talk about our fave ineffables not communicating in season 2 and sure, absolutely, they were on different pages a lot of the time (or different sides of the same coin which I rambled about a bit here). But the thing is, at the start of the season at least, it seemed that they WERE communicating.

That's what makes it so jarring. They make a point of telling us that Aziraphale calls Crowley for all the reasons, to the point that Crowley knows the tones Aziraphale uses for these specific reasons.

Including a call to summon Crowley to the coffee shop, Crowley already knows something is wrong and we see that these two are communicating regularly and openly.

Something big is going on in heaven, do you know anything about it? "Possibly. A little." "Is it something I can help you with?"

Aziraphale then shrugs - he's not sure but he's not withholding any information. Aziraphale is quite willing to share with Crowley, his uncertainty is about whether Crowley can (or will want to) help him.

Then, back in the bookshop:

"You'll never guess who Shax was asking me about." "Yes, I think perhaps I will."

Then of course Aziraphale calls Jim, we get the delightful "do we know a Jim?" but the entire time, Crowley asking what Gabriel's doing there, Aziraphale saying he doesn't know- it is all honest and open. I'd even go so far to say that even Crowley's reaction of not wanting to help and storming off, it is still communicating. Not well, but not holding anything back either.

But then Beelzebub turns up, something Crowley fails to mention to Aziraphale when he returns to the bookshops and well, the communication seems to go rather downhill from there.

And I can't help but wonder if that was part of the fragile little existence Crowley had carved out for himself/they had for "ourselves" - that as the time passed and Heaven/Hell left them alone, that little by little that open communication had began being a part of their "us". That the fragility of the existence encompassed this openness and communication as much as it did the relative peace and drama-free day to day.

Because when does this new found open communication start to break down? As soon as Heaven and Hell are involved again.

Crowley doesn't tell Aziraphale about the conversation with Beelzebub re: book of life, Aziraphale doesn't tell Crowley about Shax - the withholding immediately resumes, they both immediately revert to their old ways. I don't think it's conscious at all, it's that sudden snapping back to way each has been conditioned by their toxic "families", the way they had to operate for millennia to survive and protect themselves and each other.

And I think it's part of the reason it's so painful to watch. We get a glimpse of how it could be. But as Crowley already knew, it was fragile. And perhaps even Aziraphale knew - "nothing lasts forever". For all the steps forward they make being a group of the two without Heaven or Hell, the moment either institution reappears, it sets them back yet again.

Which is why their desire to break away/fix the system is so strong. If only they had communicated better that they are both seeking the same outcome, perhaps they could've found a way to do it together (speculation alert: I suspect they will).

I hope in season three we get to see the first time they did the arrangement i hope we see the first time crowley did a miracle just a tiny one for efficiency because it made sense to do it instead of aziraphale then only one of them needed to travel so far i hope we see the first time in thousands of years crowley gets to do a little good gets to make someone feel happy in some sort of official capacity i hope his face softens i hope he adjusts his sunglasses i hope we see the slightest tremor in his hand i hope
