Today I'm here to traumatize you with something probably not so groundbreaking but!! It broke my mind!! So I'm gonna share
I've been thinking about the sentence "you said 'trust me'" and why it felt a bit strange. Like, sure, Crowley trusts Aziraphale. We know that, we know Aziraphale knows that, they say it explicitly for once, so what is the matter
Well, the matter is that Aziraphale asked Crowley to trust him, like it was Aziraphale shooting the shot, but in reality we know it was Crowley the one with the loaded gun
So what was Crowley trusting?
Well, Crowley was trusting Aziraphale, who in return was trusting Crowley with his - technically only corporal - life.
Now, aside for the entire ordeal of not being actually dead only discorporated and ecc ecc, let's speak symbolism
Because in my humble opinion, this is the closest thing we have to an admission of feelings from both of them.
On one side, we have Aziraphale - who is having a quite exciting night between the nazis, the show, the miracle not working, the hots for his knight in a shining armor - who is saying "I know for sure you will never hurt me, you'll find a way, everything will be fine"
If we ever gonna get Aziraphale admitting he's lost his faith, I believe he's gonna recall this moment. He's not praying God, he's on his own, and he's not afraid
(what was it? Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me)
On the other side, Crowley is just having a nightTM: saving their angel in distress (nice), him being grateful (NICE), contraband gone wrong (less nice), flirting with the angel (I don't know how else to call it)(niiice)
A normal tuesday.
Then, the miracle stopped working and they are on their own and they're pointing a loaded gun to their angel and oh boy things are going south fastly. The camera does a great amazing job in expressing how stressed Crowley feels with the trembling and the movement, just right on the spot. It starts trembling from the moment the gun is passed to Crowley, and its underlined when they cut to Furfur and it's perfectly stable, and stops only when the trick is done (amazing I love it)
Crowley is terrified, but Aziraphale said "Trust me" and he did. Only, it's not Aziraphale who is doing the risky part in theory, by shooting and aiming while never firing an arm before. But in practice? He totally is.
From facts, it's not news for us that they'd do anything to keep the other safe, but they can never acknowledge it, right? But here he is, entrusting his very own existence in Crowley capable hands and not only it's risky for a number of reasons, no, that's straight away nuts from any point of view. And it's even nutter (ehehehe like Agnes) when you realize he's doing the very same thing in the 67 by gifting him holy water.
I've always found odd that change of heart by Aziraphale. I couldn't only be because he found the entire heist thing silly, but it's not like they gave us more material to work with.
But in the light of what we saw in the 41 I feel a little bit more certain to say that Aziraphale is moving on the same feeling he moved in the bullet catch.
"I trust you to not hurt me, I trust you to not kill yourself because you know what it would mean to me"
Of course, they cannot speak of it. Of course, all they have is flirty banter and Crowley hyping Aziraphale up for his show. Of course, when Aziraphale gave them holy water, he nearly couldn't stop their feelings from coming to the surface and Aziraphale needed to be the one to put a break on it. They had one (1) public appearance and it took an earthly miracle to not get discovered.
All they had, for so much time, was those silent confessions and those candle light lit and glasses of wine shared. Someday, tho, they will dine at the Ritz (metaphorically, too). (And maybe have some go--sat--damn explicit conversation about their mutual feelings towards each other)

random 91W rant under the cut BUT I CAN'T HOLD IT IN ANYMORE OK (obviously, spoilers)
you ever think about how it started rough and heated and intense and then they were making love and Cas was so desperate to see Dean come apart
and then he wakes up at night and he can't see but Dean is there and Dean holds him and talks to him about his garden and he comforts him and they comfort each other and FUCK

Caleb and Ben bought land!
I have found the source!
"Loyalism in New York during the American Revolution", found (where else) on Archive.org, a website I will be donating my entire first paycheck to when I find employment again for saving my ass at least a dozen times this year and that is not an exaggerated number. (https://archive.org/details/loyalisminnewyor00flic/page/252/mode/2up)
Page 251-252:
The entry notes that the Loyalist owner of the land, Richard Floyd, disposessed of his land by attainder, had his land sold to "Benj. Talmage and Caleb Brewster" for 730 pounds, covering The Middle of the Island Farm in Brookhaven township, 4 1/3 lors, about 320 acres, "reserving to William Floyd, Esq., and to his heirs and assigns one lot and one-half lot of the above described lands claimed by him as his property." The land was bordered in the north by William Clark, east by William Smith, south by John Homan, and west by the Connecticut River.
Parker Wickham, also under attainder, had his land sold for 1250 pounds to Ben and Caleb. It was a "tract in Southold township known as Robin's Island, about 350 acres. No definite boundary given."
(5K, domesticity, bittersweet ending, but hey that's just where my mind goes.)
There's more, though. With some... familiar names.
We've got a listing for a Joseph Brewster of Brook Haven Township, buying land bordered by a Benjamin Floyd. I cannot for the life of me find a Joseph in Caleb's known family tree but maybe I'm using incomplete information.
(EDIT: FOUND HIM! And you'll never guess where. You know Abraham Woodhull, the Abraham Woodhull, well he had a daughter, Elizabeth, who married an Isaac Brewster, who is the son of a Joseph Brewster from Setauket. If this is the same Joseph, he's Abe's daughter's in-laws. They're parent-in-laws. What the-- Oh, and is this Joseph a direct relation to Caleb Brewster? I honestly don't know, WikiTree is so unhelpful in mapping out these families.)
Benjamin Floyd himself is buying land that's bordered in the east by a Nathaniel Woodhull -- land that was Richard Floyd's, taken by attainder. Is this Woodhull a relation to Abe? No idea. Is Benjamin Floyd a relation to Richard Floyd? Could a family member buy land that had been taken by attainder?
And then we've got Caleb Brewster himself throwing in lots, literally, with the same Benjamin Floyd, buying four lots in Nocamock.
(Benjamin Tallmadge, you may remember, married a Mary Floyd, though I can't find evidence of a Benjamin in her family).
Ooooh I wanna know, I wanna know so bad. What was going on here? How did they all know each other? And did they?

Every song alastor sings in (excluding the pilot) is a duet: Stayed Gone, Hell's Greatest Dad, the part in Ready for This, all of them he's singing With another person at the very least.
Except for his solo part in Finale, where he's having his breakdown
idk what to take from this little observation n it probably doesn't mean anything but. idk idk idk someone smarter than me make some sort of connection

Y'know, sometimes I ask myself questions. Things like "Is a White Witch/Balor-based build viable, or would that be too many Nanomachines?", or "Can one of the fun Personalizations for a Kobold be a copper pigment blend added to its Resin so that I can name the mech 'Galaxy's Shittiest Copper'?", or even "How fast can I really make a Nelson go if I get really cray-cray with it?"
And then I wonder what the funniest/craziest things people have done in their own games might be.
Kinda hope I can reach the potential levels of Pure Mayhem other people have, eventually.
