I love being a malevolent fan because all my other podcasts have these nice things called release schedules, a concept Mr Harlan Guthrie is apparently not familiar with, so I am treated to the experience of literally just living my life and then BOOM privateeyes divorce arc #??? jumpscare

Ah fuck it. We all know of the theory that Gortash looks and behaves the way he does cuz of grief. But, what if it's not grief? What if it's duty? What if it's guilt but also, dare I say it, affection?
What if the reason he couldn't care less about that grand plan and those horrible ambitions and himself is cuz he's the survivor. Cuz he now has the duty to actually live and not function in his partner's stead?
What if he's trying to rush and put everything to an end simply because his priorities shifted from being a nice little cog in someone else's machine to actually, truly living for the first time because he's still capable of it when others aren't anymore? Others that allowed him to be in that position in the first place? What if it's to honour them, because that was their last wish? What if it's a last desperate act of affection for the person he tried to convince isn't a monster?
They wanted for Gortash to live. At the very least, they wanted for him to live longer than most. So what if he's trying that now that they're gone, and he's cursed with the privilege of being alive? Durges prayer told him to live, so what if he's struggling to do exactly that now? To honour and love whom he's lost, who mattered to him?

something something aang and zuko both struggling to learn in this ep. aang, who so far has never really struggled to pick up bending skills once he out his mind to it and others have referred to as “naturally gifted”, and zuko, who was (at least according to the comics and i think the evidence is there in the show) a late firebending bloomer who struggled with learning and got put down as a result (which only made it worse because demeaning kids for struggling is never going to help them.) aang needing a teacher like toph to challenge him, to encourage him to think and function in a new way that’s so different from his base mentality but equally useful, to push him to try but also know his limits. zuko needing a teacher like iroh to take his struggle and history into account, to come at it from a new angle, and when zuko can’t pick up lightning generation, to not just give up on him and instead switch gears and teach him a skill that might be better suited to him.

Turning off the reblogs on this. At the time I wrote it, it felt like what I needed to say. There's not as much activity on the post now, but when there is, I feel...sort of hollow. We're so far past the point where this even means anything.
Y'all remember "cops aren't supposed to kill guilty people, either", right?

The thing is, I don't think Aziraphale thinks of it as changing Crowley at all. To him, Pre-Fall Crowley and Demon Crowley are the same person, kind and fun and sweet and cool and equally beloved. So to him, there should be no difference whether Crowley is here on Earth or up in Heaven with him, he'll still just be Crowley, and at least this way they would be safe and protected.
All the while Crowley sees it as Aziraphale's long-term love and acceptance being conditional (like God's that was already ripped away), that Aziraphale has just been slumming it with him being a demon bc there wasn't anything they could do about it, and that he's jumping at the chance to fundamentally change Crowley the first chance he gets.
