The reason why Crowley always refers to Aziraphale as "angel" is because he was having doubts after lying to Gabriel about Job's children????????????? And so Crowley wanted to make him secure in his position??????????
The word is responsible for executing the All Mighty creations
In the bible version of my previous religion, The Word was also know as The First Son/ The Architect and went to earth to become Jesus
But, since we know that Crowley is not Christ, he could be the first Word, someone who came before the one who would become Christ and that would put him in a level that was higher from most angels, comparing only to Christ and Lucifer's (pre-fall) positions in the angelic hierarchy.
The Word can also be an order of angels in the series, that way it would make sense him not knowing about the earth creation beforehand since other Words would be responsible for that part
we only ever talked about HALF of why these scenes were a big deal, like I just realized this today and my heart is going insane.
It’s not just that Crowley’s pissed at Gabriel for treating who he thinks as Aziraphale this way, the last thing he says to the people about to kill him is a benign and peaceful wish to see them again.
And like- this is Crowley trying to replicate Aziraphale to a T. So he legitimately just sees him as this endless well of compassion, someone who is always warm and accepting. It’s not just their friendship throughout the years, he remembers Aziraphale’s kindness on the Eastern Gate. When the angel had absolutely no reason to trust this random demon who just slithered up next to him. Crowley knows that he’s loved. Maybe not like that quite yet (although he’d be very wrong), but he knows that around his friend he’s always welcome and safe.
And Aziraphale?
Well he just thinks Crowley’s the coolest fucker alive, like he is laying it in THICK and enjoying every second. Listen to that charisma, look at that smirk. These are traits that are typically only appreciated in the context of how good it makes Crowley at tempting, a job he hates. But Aziraphale doesn’t see someone manipulative or regard this persona as signs of his “demonic nature”, he just sees Crowley. Someone charming, fun loving, and cute.
This is when we get to know precisely why they love each other, what exactly they see in the other.
That’s the big question, the one the world throws at you every morning. “Here you are, alive. Would you like to make a comment?” This book is my comment.

Watching Good Omens and just realized that, maybe, if Aziraphale had not stopped to talk with Crowley in Rome and invited him to get oysters, we could be watching a completely different story, or maybe for completely different perspectives 🤧😭
Because up to that point it was always Crowley approaching him and that moment was the first time he approached Crowley first
In the notes app of my phone, there's dozens of questions I would like to ask someone.
It has been a few years since I started collecting them and right now it's a wide range of silly to deep soul-searching questions.
I still have not used a single one of them.
Sometimes, when I go add another one, I wonder if I should just delete everything. Asking those questions would mean curiosity, interest. Asking would mean caring.
I'm way more scared of losing someone I care about than I'm scared of being alone.
I'm comfortable in my solitude. I'm comfortable in my fake smiles and shallow relationships. You can't drown in shallow waters, and, I'm way too comfortable in letting the ocean take my last breath to risk losing myself in the deep.
From the list of things I shouldn't be thinking about.
