I'm back with another Good Omens meta in which I'm gonna scream about This Shot now because otherwise I might go insane:
Everything. Every single thing about this shot is so telling and painful and perfect. So, let's break it down before I loose my blessed mind.
LIGHTING
Notice the very obvious, massive ray of light shining in from the top right corner? At first glance, it might seem like it's coming from the window but really, the angle is completely off, the outside is way gloomier than the inside and it seems like it's actually coming from the skylight. The literal one and, mayhaps, also the metaphorical Heavenly one? *winks at you with both eyes*
PLACEMENT
In addition to the source of the Mysterious Ray Of Light being quite the obvious reference to Heaven: it also shines directly onto the heavenly array in the bookshop. The very array Aziraphale used to try and talk to God in S1. And who is standing in the dead middle of it? That's right. The fucking Metatron. Just like all the way back before the End of the World. Appearing to Aziraphale albeit not being called upon. Parallel much?
Aziraphale on the other hand, is not even close to being in the middle of it. Neither the array nor the ray of light. He's standing at the very edge of it, still distraught down to his angelic bones, completely cast into the shade. Despite being the one closer to the camera (= us, the audience), he still draws our eyes in less than the Metatron. It gives us a very clear image of which one of the two of them is currently dominating the shot and also the conversation.
The bookshop is Aziraphale's space, the most Aziraphale space there is. And yet, he's not the one currently owning it. The Metatron's presence is almost making this feel claustrophobic. If we were to draw a line right down the middle of the shot, both him and Aziraphale are crammed into the left side of the picture. Just like in so many shots with Aziraphale and the other (arch)angels, it feels like his space is being invaded, he's beeing crowded against a metaphorical wall, squeezed out of his own comfort zone.
Because that's exactly what the Metatron is doing here, isn't it? It's what Heaven has always done to Aziraphale. Get up all in his business when he leasts wants them to, with nothing but bad intentions and arrogant distain, masked under the hood of feigned corporate politeness. ("You.. you– bad angels!")
BONUS: CROWLEY'S ABSENCE PRESENCE
As we all know, Crowley has already left the bookshop after The K*ss. And he's clearly the missing half to this shot. The Metatron is crowding Aziraphale away from him, away from the door and the window that lead and look outside of the bookshop. Where Crowley is. Where freedom is. Just this once, the bookshop is actually not at all where Aziraphale wants to be. But he's being kept in there by the Metatron, because the choice was never his.
So, we have our clear image: The Metatron backing Aziraphale away from his freedom and what he wants – the metaphorical and literal "right" side (of the shot). And what do we see in the background, on that very right side? The horse statue Crowley always puts his sunglasses on. Look at her, there she is:
In S2E1, right when Crowley and Aziraphale get back from Nina's café to the bookshop (with the damn Eccles cakes), he puts his sunglasses very obviously atop the horse statue ...
... and then takes them again when leaving the bookshop.
It literally gets its own close up shot. It tells us: Crowley feels safe in the bookshop. Crowley feels safe with Aziraphale. This is his home just as much as it is the angel's. And I don't have to tell you about the metaphore of him putting the glasses back on once he realizes he has lost Aziraphale to Heaven. (In addition, I categorically refuse to talk about the way Aziraphale looks at him when he does it.)
So, the horse statue being on this side of the shot –– the side that Aziraphale actually so desperately wants to be on right now (their own side) but is being kept from –– is just beyond symbolical.
Because just like the statue representing him, Crowley is still there. He's waiting. Right outside the shop, by the Bentley. He's there. He'll always be there. He just can't come with this time. Not to Heaven. Not after how he just laid himself bare after 6000 years of wearing his bloody metaphorical sunglasses like a battle armour, and was left hanging just like his shades on the god damn horse statue.
Literally me right now:

hello! i was wondering if you could recommend any fanfics where aziraphale takes off crowley's glasses?
That's a very small detail that's difficult to search for, but here are a couple...
Your Beauty Never, Ever Scared Me by midnightdragons (G)
“You - you are an idiot, angel,” Crowley rasped, his lips trembling as he spoke. “I am the farthest from beautiful that any being could ever be."
“You’re wrong,” Aziraphale insisted almost angrily, his eyes glistening with tears of sorrow, sorrow that Crowley thought such things about himself. “Oh, my darling, I wish so dearly that you could see yourself through my eyes, for all you would see then is every single beauty that Creation has to offer.”
Everything will be okay by Deathsletters (NR)
The two of them go for ice creams after the non-apocalypse. This time they are not interrupted by angels nor demons but by some realisation that opens both their eyes and their hearts...
The Ties (That Bind) by KnifeGrian_ShishKebeb (T)
it had been, what? Six months? Seven? Since Aziraphale had left the bookshop, left him, and… sauntered vaguely upwards again. And Crowley had been dealing… well.
Really, he had. He’d bought a cottage in the South-Downs, like he’d planned to, made a terrarium...
He wasn't even thinking about Him, not even a little bit.
(Its been seven months, eighteen days, six hours, and forty-nine minutes since Aziraphale left)
***
Or: my two fave idiots are, once again, idiots. i heal them and also make them kiss. Your classic Season Two Fix-It Fic.
A Glass and a Half by Lucy_Ferrier (G)
The first time Aziraphale saw him wearing glasses was in Rome, and all in all, he was rather put out by them.
Or, five times Crowley didn't want to take his glasses off when asked and one time he did
- Mod D

crowley and his sunglasses is such a beautiful way to represent him and how he's feeling. he wears the sunglasses not only to hide his eyes from humans bit also to hide himself and his true feelings from the world. it's a physical representation of crowley's walls and his need to hide. he almost never took off his sunglasses in season one BUT in season 2, he leaves them off most of the time he's with Aziraphale. he's opening himself up to him and when in episode 6 crowley gives his confession and aziraphale shuts him down and says "nothing lasts forever" crowley puts them back on because he opened himself up, he tried to say what he wanted to say and it wasn't enough. i think in season 3, it'll be awhile before he takes them back off again.

Sooo I fucked up my Crowley sunglasses like a month ago
Left them in my backpack, they got bent & now they're hard to wear, but now I can't decide if I should try to buy some more expensive ones and hope they're better and don't break, or just buy the same $11 ones again knowing how flimsy they are.

Wrote a little ficlet based on this post I made. It doesn't cover everything I listed but this is how it came out. I'd never considered writing fics until very recently but GO has taken over my mind, heart and sanity and this fandom is incredibly inspiring, so here we are 🤍
It was over. The Metatron had been defeated and the system had been brought crashing down. Now they had to rebuild, to create something truly good and fair from scratch. But right now that was not a priority to Aziraphale. Right now, he had a demon to apologise to.
Crowley had accepted to work together to thwart the Metatron, of course. But he had been standoffish towards Aziraphale the entire time. Every single interaction had been tense and awkward, and Crowley had never stuck around any longer than what was strictly necessary for them to strategise. The ease and warmth was gone ever since that awful day at the bookshop.
Aziraphale knows where to find him. He climbs the fire escape up to the roof above the bookshop and finds him sitting on the wall that surrounds the rooftop, looking out onto the city, legs dangling casually over the ledge and an open bottle of wine next to him. Crowley doesn't turn around, even though Aziraphale knows he's felt him arrive. He walks up to him and leans his hands on the waist-high wall. Crowley keeps staring straight ahead. He has his sunglasses on, of course. The angel hasn't seen him without them ever since the day he accepted the supreme archangel job.
“You’re back.” says the demon, his voice neutral as he continues to look straight ahead.
“Crowley, we need to talk.”
"We got rid of that big giant floating head twat and that was quite the ordeal. If you're coming to suggest another life-endangering mission, sUpRemE aRChAnGeL, I'm afraid I'm tapped out.” He takes a swig of the bottle, his gaze fixed on the cloudy London horizon. Thunder rumbles nearby.
“Crowley,” Aziraphale says gently, “I… I am an idiot.”
Crowley slowly turns his head to look at him, raising an eyebrow. "Why would you say that?” he grumbles, looking back into the distance.
Aziraphale takes a step closer, wringing his hands nervously. He knows what he wants to say but suddenly he feels like any words he could utter couldn’t possibly be good enough. But he must try. “The last thing I ever wanted was to leave you. I need you to know what.”
“And yet you left. You made your choice.” Crowley's words are heavy with sadness.
“I… it’s not that simple. The Metatron he… the way he made the offer, I had no other option. He knew about us, if I hadn’t gone along with it I don’t know what he would have done to us, to you. I… I wanted to make things so you could be safe, I needed to…” the words tumble out, high pitched and pained.
“He knew about us...” interrupts Crowley, musingly, saying each word slowly. He sighs lightly and turns his head towards Aziraphale. “And what is it that he knew about us?”
The angel freezes, feeling an additional wave of nervousness strike him. “You... you know what I mean.”
Crowley swings his long legs around and drops down off the wall to stand, facing him. “WHAT isss it that he knew about usss, Aziraphale?” he repeats, spitting out each word.
“About… us, being … uhm… the agreement.” He’s feeling panicked, but instantly regrets his words.
Thunder crashes loudly above them and rain starts to fall as the demon faces him silently, his face full of sadness, his jaw tight.
“The agreement. Indeed.” Crowley finally says, dejectedly.
He turns and starts walking away. For a moment, Aziraphale feels unable to move, overwhelmed with a feeling of helplessness. But something inside him shocks him into action and he rushes forward, catching up to Crowley and grabbing his arm to turn him around.
They face each other again, Crowley's expression desolate, raindrops in his hair and dripping down his face. “Crowley, I am so, so utterly sorry. I was so afraid. I have always been so afraid. Of what could happen to us, what they could do to us, to you, of losing you if we weren't careful enough. And because of that, I have spent all these centuries pretending..." His voice breaks. "Pretending that I am not in love with you.”
Crowley twitches slightly, looking stunned. He opens his mouth as if to speak but says nothing, almost as if he can’t remember how to form words.
Aziraphale lifts his hand tentatively to Crowley’s sunglasses. “May I?” – he asks.
Crowley nods, still looking quite stunned. Aziraphale gently removes them and feels a deep pang of emotion at seeing those beautiful yellow eyes again after so long. He smiles softly. They silently look into each other’s eyes for a long moment, hearts thundering.
Crowley breaks eye contact and looks down. "Angel, I am a demon, I am what I am, that can't be changed or fixed".
"Oh Crowley, I love everything you are, I don't want you to change." smiles Aziraphale, gazing up at him with adoration.
Crowley leans his forehead against the angel's, smiling, his golden eyes welled with tears.
His voice cracks a bit as he speaks, "I don't ever want to pretend again, angel. I want to be us, for eternity."
"For eternity", replies Aziraphale, placing his hand on Crowley's cheek and gently pulling him into a kiss.
The rain is easing off. A nightingale sings in the distance.

Crowley's sunglasses: observations in the key of 'wall of red string'
Crowley's clothes might be miracled, but his sunglasses aren't. We see after his shades are destroyed in the bookshop fire in season 1:
He doesn't miracle himself a new pair; instead, he goes for the stash of identical sunglasses he keeps in the glove box of the Bentley.
Crowley keeps wearing this same style of sunglasses throughout the episodes up until the end of S2E2. Here he is, looking positively dashing (and aghast at being relegated to babysitting duty while Aziraphale takes ~their~ car for a joyride) in his favourite sunnies and his spy turtleneck:
But in his first appearance in S2E3, bringing his plants into the bookshop and meeting Muriel over a cupperty, suddenly he's swapped out his shades:
Ergo, theory: Crowley was separated from his car *before* we saw him lend it to Aziraphale. He got into a scrape offscreen, broke his sunglasses, and had to replace them either without access to his stash in the Bentley (which would be odd, considering that's where the plants must've come from) or after his stash in the Bentley had finally run out.
Let the time loop speculation commence.
Postscript: So I started a new job back in September, which is (a) making me miserable, and (b) draining away all my time and energy to write metas. This humble contribution is the best I can manage before emotional exhaustion and pinot claim me for the evening. I can't say how much I appreciate all the wonderful meta analysts and essayists and fic writers and incredible artists out there keeping the obsession alive. Y'all are amazing.
Post postscript: Yes, I know the "Metatron is a hack writer editing the Book of Life" theory is out there claiming to account for the unexplained costume changes, among other discrepancies. I like this theory better. We can keep each other company by fighting about it until Season 3 comes out <3

Apparently I'm in the minority with this, but in s3 I really DON'T want to see Aziraphale removing Crowley's glasses.
It isn't a romantic idea to me that someone would force vulnerability [on Crowley]. I see where the idea comes from - it's a romantic notion that there'd be someone trustworthy enough to be so vulnerable around in the first place, but those are very different things in practice.
Wouldn't it be infinitely more gratifying to both Crowley and Aziraphale when Crowley himself takes them off again around Aziraphale? If Aziraphale truly wants to see his eyes so much, and loves him so much, won't he want to wait for Crowley to be ready? Would he really prioritize his own desires over Crowley's boundaries? And won't Crowley appreciate the chance to show Aziraphale how he feels; how much of himself he's willing to share, on his own terms?
In the meantime there are other ways - ways that allow him to continue respecting Crowley's boundaries - for Aziraphale to show his passion. Let him do those.
#gos3#good omens#Aziraphale#Crowley#crowley's sunglasses#this isn't directed at any particular person or post#I've just been seeing this trope a lot in fic and discourse recently#it's an easy way to show trust#easy as in a cheap literary device#just like saying the words “I love you” don't mean anything on their own#just like how a big momentous kiss doesn't mean anything on its own

hmmmm maybe Tumblr won't eat this post again? 3rd time's the charm (miracle?) what a great excuse to continue avoiding grading lmaooosob
Why do Crowley's sunglasses change in S2?
In all of 2019/S1 he's wearing the perfectly serviceable, rather flashy Valentinos:
And at the beginning of S2, they're clearly the same glasses:
as well as all through episode 2:
But by the time Muriel arrives at the beginning of E3...
he's changed to the more understated* Rigards Stone Eclipses, somehow finding the time** to either go shopping (?) or miracle a different pair (?) while moving the plants and we don't see the Valentinos again.
I can't help but wonder if this change to a more ominously-named pair of sunnies is somehow related to his last line of E3...
...seeing as we know that some nomenclature fun with other sunnies has shown up*** and even background things like the paint colour names have meaning.
What is going onnnn the brainrot and the Sunglasses Special Interest have merged into something driving me meta bonkers aargh
*understated in appearance, but double the price. Why buy a new pair of £700 (or, more likely, two pairs really) sunglasses to change the already established costume continuity? Sure they're gorgeous and I suspect David Tennant's people have a direct line to the whole Rigards stockists list, but still
**There's a bit of speculation about timey slips, jumps, overall wimeyness in S2 but this change doesn't fit! Nothing weird happens between episodes 2 and 3! Except for Muriel showing up but ????
***as previously posted to the sunny sideblog @david-tennant-sunglasses-id eg, the 1941 sunnies definitely are named appropriately, along with other fun (Niteowls!) for other minisodes.

Welp I now started a collection of low poly models of some of Crowley's shades .
Originally I just wanted to do Bildad's ones but I got carried away sooooo yeah.
Forgot to look at the poly count so forgive me. Also some creative freedom taken on some .
If people want to I can do the rest and polish these up to put them somewhere to use as live reference. But like I just spend 7 hours straight looking at reference and doing these (most time spend was on the s1 pair bc I messed up the mesh part and then did it the hard way) so I gotta catch up on sleep the pfff
Also now that I have these I can just put them on Aziraphale when I get around doing his buts and well now I kinda wanna do a version of both of them wearing the other's clothes but it's all messy.

How comfortable does Crowley feel taking his sunglasses off in the bookshop?
We like to think he does, but the evidence we have is that he actually doesn't usually take them off.
In the first episode, they spend six hours together, alone, in the bookshop getting drunk. It is only then, six hours later and completely sloshed that he takes them off
Eleven years later, one wrong boy found, one right boy lost and one hellhound on the loose, they are back in the bookshop for a much needed drink, and the glasses are on.
We know he takes them off at home (yes, I know he is sleeping in the second one but come on! this is Crowley, sleeping with sunglasses on wouldn't be completely out of character, would it?)
So I think he is not really that comfortable in the bookshop to just take them off, not yet.
I really look forward to see a change in Season 2 where he is as comfortable in the bookshop as he is now in his flat to just take them off like it is the most natural thing in the world :) :) wouldn't that be great?
