So... Fallen Gabriel without the helmet?
OK SO i've been playing around with overhauling my helmetless gabe design in order for him to be more cherubic and just solidify a more definitive look in general. so for groundwork, this is the design i currently have:
gabriel and the other three archangels are unique cherubs in that they manifest one face at a time and they each have a predominant forme that together make up the tetramorph. gabriel's default is the eagle as he is the divine messenger, but he is capable of shifting between all four faces as shown. the divine fire that burns over all of his head is opalescent and i've kept the idea that it would slowly spread to his entire body if not tempered under his helmet. the eyes of the faces are like obsidian, containing deep reflects of fire much like the eyes that cover his wings being gem-like and full of living flame.
however, after he falls, that fire goes out and the solid light that makes up his head melts into a bone-like casing
his head is now "petrified", the feathers and barbs frozen stiff and the flesh of his head resembling cooled magma. the open cavity is empty, prominently displaying the light that's been taken from him (and could be reached into infinitely..............v1 tries it). gabriel doesn't remove his helmet for some time after falling, eventually asking v1 to look upon him first before he does himself.

literally the only thing worse than if crowley doesn’t call aziraphale “angel” ONCE in s3 if they interact before they’re crowley and aziraphale again is if crowley DOES call him “Angel” . with the capital letter and the tonal shift . bc that’s what he is . an angel . yknow . because he wanted to be part of heaven again so badly .
