The headcanon where Crowley is friends with Hozier and the amusing fact that his not-exactly love story with Aziraphale were and inspiration for some of Hozier’s songs, I think I have a similar headcanon with Aziraphale and Florence + the machine and I have solid proofs of that:
Cosmic Love
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud as it tore through them
And now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon
They have all been blown out
You've left me in the dark
No dawn, no day
I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
Crowley showed Aziraphale the miracle of the stars, after the latter had lived an eternity in darkness. This left him smitten for the celestial redhead, who then fell and disappeared, leaving miserable Aziraphale in loss of the prettiest star of them all.
Shake it out
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me (oh whoa)
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me (oh whoa)
But what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah
Picture this: 1941, Aziraphale just realized Crowley might be more than whatever he thought they were. Rushed home and had a full-on crisis on hsi relation with the demon and even Heaven. Some time later, he could finally talk to someone about it, vented to Florence about what he should do, the doubts that after 50 years or so were still petsering him. At some point (after a couple of glasses of wine) even considered being damned.
All this Heaven too
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand
The meaning of the word you see
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever
But it never makes sense to me at all
Just whatever was going in inside of the little angel’s head during Crowley’s confession, because really he was going to give the demon literal Heaven if that meant they could figure out their relationship once and for all.
Big God
You need a big god
Big enough to hold your love
You need a big God
Big enough to fill you up
Sometimes I think it's getting better
And then it gets much worse
Is it just part of the process?
Jesus Christ, it hurts
Though I know I should know better
After all the Job situation Aziraphale’s faith trembled. He prayed, prayed and prayed, but the questions that were raised that day never left him. He needs God because this life on Earth is lonely, after all the demon lied.
For now this is all I’ve thought, thank you for reading!! ☆
Thinking about that video of David and Michael describing Crowley and Aziraphale's date night. Aziraphale doing all the things he loves and Crowley complaining the whole night and the two of them "having just the best time". And also thinking about how folks feel uncomfortable with how Aziraphale pushed to take the Bentley even when Crowley complained and then made changes to her and Crowley insisted on changing it back.
Crowley complains not because anything is really wrong but because he feels comfortable enough to do so. (When something's really wrong, he takes action.)
You know what "asking too many damn fool questions" is really? Complaining that things aren't being done properly.
Aziraphale creates a safe space for Crowley to whinge and whine and grumble and growl and roll his eyes and sigh heavily and demand his own way and have someone hear his complaints and not throw him out. And Crowley understands that when Aziraphale does something over the top, he is allowed to complain. And in the end they will find a compromise place where Crowley is comfortable with what's happening but he can still whine and Aziraphale can do the things he loves with Crowley's support (even when it sounds grudging). That's their whole, 6000+ year relationship.
Aziraphale did change the Bentley, but not back. Not all the way. She's a new Bentley from then on. She's their car now, and we don't hear a peep from Crowley about it.
wait... so s1 says angels don't dance, except for aziraphale, who learned the gavotte in the late 1880s
but then we learn in s2 that aziraphale did at least one other dance earlier !
so what i'm wondering is,, how did it even start? like did aziraphale go "gosh I'm really sorry fr 🥺😬 allow me to prove it with this incredibly human ritual no angel has ever tried before"? or did crowley go "oh, how to make me feel better you ask? do a little dance go on 😈🐍🥰"?
anyway the point is crowley canonically got to see aziraphale dance for that very first time !
1650: the first time an angel ever danced, and it was to apologize for some silly dumbfuckery so his demon spouse would drop the pout & join him for lunch
david tennant did the bafta host with his nonbinary pride pin and fuzzy sweater and a cutedog , songged his wife on the red carpet and then subjected everyone to his funny weird dynamic with micheal sheen , did not dis anyone , did not make an aweful comment about anything, wore stellar outfits being the most gorgeuse person out of everyone, give everyone proper respect and attention, finished the job and went home to do an eye mask and rest his feet.
"I loathe him. And, despite myself, I respect a worthy opponent...Which he isn't because he's a demon and I cannot respect a demon. Or like one."
decided to draw a small part of the bookshop opening deleted scene bc not one day goes by where I don't think about it 🥺 we lost so bad by not getting this one 😭😭
especially bc it contrasts the season 2 finale so well… I could write entire dissertations about it 🤧
