This is first and foremost a Good Omens blog, but some other stuff threads its way through as well. (Heartstopper, Shadow & Bone, TUA, OFMD, the OA) My ask box is always open for love! she/her
Aziraphale insisting on continuing to speak broken French even after Margeurite reiterates that she is fluent in English (offensive tbh). An angel insisting on having it his way, his romantic version of reality...
Aziraphale learned French the hard way, what else will he have to learn the hard way?
During the Final Fifteen, there’s flashbacks to the Metatron’s and Aziraphale’s conversation. Why are they having this discussion at Marguerite’s? It’s early morning. Marguerite’s seems to be an evening restaurant(lunch at the earliest). All of the chairs are stacked on top of the tables, but interestingly all the fairy lights are turned on. There seems to be some lights on inside where they would be setting up for the day. The lights inside are not very bright though. It seems the conversation is taking place there because the restaurant is closed at this time. It would be hard to have this conversation at Nina’s coffee shop, because it’s bustling during the morning. But Marguerite’s wouldn’t be. It would be quiet. No humans interrupting just two angels… having a very nice and polite conversation with absolutely no manipulation at all…
high school is soo funny in hindsight. the entire time you're there thinking it's the most important period of your life and then the second you're out you're like well that was fucking stupid
I've been thinking about this scene a lot and how kind Crowley is to Aziraphale, being a safe harbor for Aziraphale, something heaven was supposed to be to Crowley but never was.
I was wondering today, why do (some) people still think that Aziraphale said this (and many other things he does/says) meaning that he doesn't want to stay at Crowley's place because he's still beholden to Heaven, it would be wrong etc etc.
Just as (some) people say he says I forgive you after Crowley kisses him because the kiss was a sin, a temptation and Aziraphale is offended by Crowley for doing this to him...
I'm genuinely perplexed.
He's not saying, Oh, I don't think I should, Oh that would be wrong, Oh, are you out of your mind demon?
He's saying: 'I don't think my side would like that.'
He spent 6000+ years worrying Crowley will get punished if their friendship/partnership/Arrangement/love was discovered.
His first instinct here is the usual - I couldn't possibly, it would put you at risk.
We've seen how Heaven treats him. We have seen how he lies and deceives them repeatedly; S2 even starts with Aziraphale hiding his former boss from Heaven cos he knows he must be in BIG trouble to show up in his shop and he'll be damned (literally) before he gets them to do as they like with someone asking him for help without knowing what happened.
So why do (some) people assume he's helping Gabe out of some duty TO Heaven?
It's not that Aziraphale is not scared. He is.
He knows Gabriel wanted to kill him a few short years before.
He is not an idiot (this is a line I seem to be repeating in most of my posts).
He's not as dramatic about it as Crowley, but of course he's afraid.
He is not missing Heaven in S2.
He's still terrified of them.
And that's why he's going there. That's why he's going to face his fears and save his life and his love or die trying.
The journey from “god was wrong to cast out Crowley” to “god was wrong to cast out anyone” to “god can’t be wrong or right because wrong and right don’t come from god, they come from us” to “we were wrong to just accept the Fall of our brethren without questioning or challenging it” to “we can make it all anew, make it right, together”
(to maybe what god wanted all along was for us to question and to challenge)(but that isn’t for us to know and it never will be)(to all we can do in the face of divine ineffability is define our own Purpose, who we are and what we value, and hold to it and to each other as tightly as we can)
Had to unfollow this one person on here cause they just would not stop making posts about how transfems on e getting periods is just made up symptoms and like, I don't have definitive proof I only have my and others experience but like how do you, as someone who is not on e, who has access to the same amount of studies looking into this with decent sample sizes as I do (none), feel so confident to say it's all just placebo and made up ? What makes you so confident ? Cause I gotta say after almost two years of nearly right on the dot once a month suddenly feeling nausea all week, taking the most unbelievable shits, feeling all my organs cramp, and having mood swings out the ass which always just so happens to line up with when the two people with uteruses in my house also get their periods, I feel like I have more data to work off of than you do
That moment when aziraphale picks up the cooled off flaming sword and waves it at crowley and crowley looks like 😧🥺 and then aziraphale says come up with something or i’ll never talk to you again and crowley stops all of time in the face of satan uhhhh fuck they just never talked about that ever again huh
I'm in awe of how we ran historical revisionism on the civil rights movement so bad that people truly believe it was quiet self-sacrifcial non-disruptive christ-like activism that forced progress and not — like — the incredible economic pressure of boycotts and outbreaks of illegal civil disobedience
Yapping to the choir but eughhh it burns me up girl effective protests have to be loud and inconvenient for change to happen because silent cries die in the dark that's the entire pointtt
