I HAVE ALREADY SPOKE ON LENGTH ABOUT THE PRINCE OF EGYPT BUT NOT THE WHOLE THING ONLY THE PLAGUES AND MOSTLY PASSOVER. I JUST WATCHED THE FULL MOVIE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I WAS A KID IM GONNA TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN BECAUSE IT WAS SO GOOD. OKAY.

okay let me first say that i was in tears within the first ten minutes of the movie. deliver us was so powerful and heartbreaking i cried BEFORE THE TEN MINUTE MARK. yeah.

when moses' mother sang her final lullaby to her son and pushed him downstream in that (blessed and very fortunate) basket my heart hurt. i cried with her. that was the last time she would ever see her baby.

when his sister sang her prayer for her baby brother, wishing for him to come back to deliver them as well, that just drove the nail in harder.

in a later scene before the banquet you can hear moses humming that last lullaby and since deliver us was just maybe ten minutes prior you remember it and realize he really did keep that final song.

and the banquet oh yeah ramesses gets appointed this big title? and he names moses as the grand architect

and theres this captured hebrew lady brought in for ramesses but shes fierce (i would be too, she was captured and brought to the people she hates the most) and so ramesses orders her to be brought to moses' chambers instead

moses goes to his chambers and suprise! she escaped! moses chases after and sees her sneaking out with her camel and distracts some guards so she wont get caught and once the guards are gone he goes after her again aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand

miriam (moses' sister) meeting him in the city streets and recognizing him, telling him he's her family and him shutting her down and calling her a slave.... it hurt. when she hums that lullaby and he RECOGNIZES and then rushes back home to have a dream about that day he was sent away (in beautiful animation designed to look like the hieroglyphs on his wall) its all so painful to watch him be forced out of nowhere to realize his life is a LIE because hes not a true prince of egypt, he's born of the slaves, and then his father the pharaoh justifies the order to slaughter innocent babies by saying "they were just slaves" and OUGH

moses kills a man. unintentional but he killed a man while trying to stop him from beating a slave. oops.

he cant live with this so he runs away into the desert. theres this scene where he collapses to the ground and sheds all of the jewelry and adornments from his life as royalty but as he takes off the ring ramesses gives him, he looks at it. and slowly puts it back on. because no matter what, he still loves his brother, and he always will.

moses falls into a well. yeah. chases off some ruffians and then basically faints and falls in. these girls the ruffians were harassing started pulling him out and SURPRISE SURPRISE the captured lady from the banquet is there and she drops him back in when she recognizes him and walks away all smug and her name is tzipporah! just an fyi (very pretty name love it)

moses basically gets adopted into the group of hebrews and moses says something about not ever having done anything of worth and so tzipporah's father jethro sings a little tune to him!

through heavens eyes is a masterpiece. i really dont know what else to say also i want jethro to be my dad hes so nice

aaanyway moses and tzipporah get married during the through heavens eyes montage! i just think thats nice

OKAY now juicy stuff the BURNING BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the scene in which moses encounter the burning bush and god.

god claims that he has seen his people (the hebrew slaves) suffering and cannot stand for it any longer, so he wishes to send moses as a sort of ambassador of god

and moses doesnt think hes worthy of being god's messenger, which god quickly shuts up by pointing out how he's kind of, like, GOD

and he teaches moses those big old words, "LET MY PEOPLE GO" wahoo!!!!!!

he rushes home to tell tzipporah, and shes like "but ur just one dude" and hes like "well i kinda have to also the hebrews are suffering in slavery so :////"

tzipporah and moses head on over to meet ramesses and theyre all excited to see each other and then moses is like "behold the power of god!!!!!!" and his staff becomes a snake. pretty gnarly if i do say so myself

and then the high priests are like "ok" and start basically performing and rapping the names of the egyptian gods at moses in response i really dont know how to describe it but its basically a whole lotta smoke and mirrors. not actual miracles

moses talks to ramesses and asks him to let his people go, and instead doubles the slave's workload. the slaves basically hate moses now because yeah he technically is the reason theyre getting pushed harder and even his own brother aaron seems to loathe him. miriam talks to moses and he sees ramesses' ship gliding down the nile nearby

he calls out to ramesses and he just sends his guards after him. and so moses brings the staff down and turns the river to blood.

THEN THE REST OF THE PLAGUES ENSUE!!!

theres this specific part of the plagues scene in which ramesses stands between two statues of egyptian gods and glances at them as if to ask why the fuck arent they doing anything about the LITERAL hellfire and general havoc being brought down on the city. just thought that was a really cool detail.

AND OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH passover. i really shouldnt get excited about talking about an event that killed a whole heck ton of kids but its like fnaf at this point who cares ANYWAY THE DEAD KIDS

i already talked about the passover scene but what i didnt include (i think) is how when god's spirit or whatever idk enters the palace, it passes over a statue of ramesses and you just think, oh fuck wait RAMESSES HAD A SON.

and sure enough, that son is dead. moses walks in as ramesses pulls a sheet over his sons dead body and ramesses finally, after all of the plagues, tells moses he can take the hebrews and leave.

as moses walks away you can see ramesses glare at moses because he may have said he was done but. hes not. of course.

moses and the hebrews are leaving with yet another beautiful musical sequence (when you believe) and you can see the hordes of former slaves walking to the sea.

AAND just like i said RAMESSES WASNT FINISHED! he brings a whole bunch of soldiers on horseback and chases the hebrews, and god literally rains fire on them again this time in the form of a flaming tornado that sweeps across the sand, making a big old wall of fire that the egyptian soldiers cant get through

which gives moses the time to do the famous parting of the sea. he brings that staff down in the water and DOES GODS WONDERS!!! yay!!!

watching them walk on the seabed was beautiful. with some lightning strikes you could see the silhouette of some kind of shark swimming in the water (looked it up there are sometimes whale sharks in the red sea this is accurate)

and the fire tornado recedes into the earth, the fire fades, the soldiers chase on at ramesses' orders. the water sweeps them away just as the hebrews make it to the other side and it later cuts back to ramesses, alone on the rocky shore, screaming out at moses. hes completely alone, soldiers presumably dead, and no family to speak of. his side of the sea is cloudy and gloomy, still stormy, but when it jumps back to the hebrews in celebration, the sun shines bright and happy. the hebrews are free.

the movie ends with moses walking down the mountain sinai, ten commandments in hand, while the last snippet of deliver us plays once again.

only one other movie has evoked this much of this kind of emotion in me.(the one movie is klaus LMAO klaus made me ugly cry) there was not a single second of watching this that i didnt have goosebumps.

the movie itself just looks pretty. all of the characters have unique and neat designs. (its also nice to see a movie with only poc in it like im just saying)

the musical scores and numbers are so expertly made. my favorite has to be deliver us but through heavens eyes is a very close second. through heavens eyes made me feel better about myself, in a way. the entire movie was like some healing experience.

all in all, this is an S tier movie, and i BEG BEG BEG anyone who hasn't seen it to watch it. just pirate it or something (i did lol watched it on an illegal streaming site)

if you're not religious and havent seen it, think of it as a chance to learn more about abrahamic faiths. if you are religious and havent seen it, well hey! here you go!!

Gray Pt. 0.5: In the Beginning (Prequel)

Genre: Angst, fluff, everything in between

Characters: OC, another OC, Ineffable husbands

Words: 1,274

Synopsis: At the peak of domesticity, Aziraphale and Crowley receive a miracle that will not only change their lives, but also the world.

aka Aziraphale and Crowley are husbands and they have child that is literally out of this world. Out of this world because she is not really 100% human, nor an angel, nor a demon. This story is about her.

--------------------------------

A certain angel and demon are free at last from the clips of heaven and hell. Other angels and demons would never dare cross or even find them now, not after their stunts with Gabriel and Beelzebub scared the wings out of everyone.

Honestly, they never thought their Freaky Friday Plan, as Crowley called it, would have worked. Sure, Agnes gave them a nudge, but they never really thought it would actually fool the archangel and the prince of hell. As they held each other’s hands for the swap, Aziraphale nor Crowley gave their 100% faith. They knowit might backfire and everything they’ve fought for was all for naught. All that dangerous fraternizing was for nothing.

But they remembered their admiration for all things Earth and it was enough for them to bet their lives on it, at least that’s what they said to each other on the bus ride to London. So they got their tartan glam and black everything on. (”Seriously Crowley, even your underwear is black?”, ”Watch where you’re looking, Angel.”)

To their utter surprise, Freaky Friday worked. The last drops of holy water couldn’t pierce “Crowley”, and the impossible heat of hellfire couldn’t burn even an inch of the tartan off “Aziraphale”.

They heaved their deepest sighs of relief and headed back to Earth, prancing like Sister Maria on the German Alps because they were freaking ALIVE. Not leaving without a smirk to their ex-bosses, of course.

After practically running (Yes! Aziraphale! Running!), they see each other once again at Berkley Square where they changed back. They decided to spend the evening at The Ritz, the official landmark of what Aziraphale would then call their “first date”. (Hear that loud, demonic groan? That’s Crowley in the distance.)

Expensive spoons and forks clink against the china. People are laughing left and right, like it’s the first day of the beginning of the world (in a way, it is). Everything is swell and nice and delicious, Aziraphale thinks. Oh look, the sunlight is bouncing off Aziraphale’s platinum hair extra nicely today, Crowley thinks.

The two start on their toast and they’re so proud of each other and their new friends. The world is just! So! Splendid! All the things that happened between now and Eden can finally be placed at the back of their minds. This dinner, this champagne and this company are all they want to think about. This is their present and future now.

Crowley then concludes the toast with a “To the world.” And that’s when Aziraphale loses his freaking sushi-eating ass. His mind goes blank. He swears that the demon meant him. “To my world,” is what the angel heard. He feels it in his wings. He feels it in his gut, and his gut is never wrong no matter what too-buff-to-realize-I’m-offending-someone Gabriel said. And the angel realizes that he feels the same way to the demon.

They love the earth, they love it intensely, but they love each other more. How could he have never realized this? How long has this been going on? Is this why he looked at Crowley’s underwear?

I love you too, Aziraphale wants to say.

“A-angel, w-whot?” Crowley freezes holding his champagne glass midair.

Aziraphale, realizing what he just said a second too late, freezes the same way.

“I-I mean…” Aziraphale feels that everything at The Ritz is suddenly interesting to look at except for the demon he loves (loves!), who is now staring at him like how the ducks stare at him when they don’t like the bread he brought.

He takes a deep breath and decides what the hell, WAHOO!

“I mean. I love you, Crowley. Always have, I reckon. And yes yes, I know. Angels are made to love everything and everyone blah blah. B-but I don’t know. I’m quite sure I’d like it if we spent this freedom together. Forever, if necessary.” He finally looks Crowley straight in the eye, a soft smile clinging to his lips. “Would you like to love me too?”

The angel is nervous but not really. He laid out his heart without the fear of winged ethereal creatures overhearing him for the first time. His candor should earn him a sushi or two tomorrow, if all of this goes pear-shaped.

Crowley’s frozen demeanor suddenly changes into a soft smile as he puts down his glass. Aziraphale fangirls on the inside at the demon’s smile. He takes a deep breath and removes his dark glasses to look at the angel whom he realizes, at that exact moment, he loves as well. “Goddammit, Angel. Let me panic for a second, okay?”

Crowley puts his head in between his own legs and takes 3 deep breaths. Aziraphale waits with a nervous smile, 10 gulps of champagne, and 20 reassuring looks to the wait staff. Then he splashes his champagne on the table when Crowley shouts to the top of his lungs, still in between his legs.

“GAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! WOT ANGEL D-DID YOU J-JUST! DID! I! WOT?!? You love me?!? H-how did you even! H-how?!” After everyone at The Ritz shit their pants from the outburst, he finally holds his head up and squishes Aziraphale’s face to a puffy pout. The Angel is caught by surprise at the sudden 2-inch distance from the demon’s face, so he holds on to the table for dear eternal life.

“Do you even know what you’re saying? Of course I want to spend eternity with you! Isn’t that the whole point of all our plans?! Haven’t I been inviting you to move in with me since the beginning of time?!” The panicked waiter comes near them trying to stop the fuss. “Shut up, please, we’re having a moment here!” Crowley says without breaking eye contact with the angel. The waiter pees his pants (that also has shit, if you remember) and retracts.

“You mean to tell me that-that we can eat and do anything we want now? I can show you my plants? I can hang out in your shop whenever and wherever? We can travel the world? We can feed the ducks together without being kidnapped? You mean to tell me… we can finally fraternize?!” Crowley asks like a bullet with unnecessary emphasis on the last word. Aziraphale is still pouting like a baby chick between the demon’s burning hands. He puts a hand on top of one of the demon’s.

“Why, yes. Isn’t that what we’re doing now? We’re free to do anything, love. But you haven’t answered my question.” Aziraphale struggles to speak but is happy to see the demon’s childish excitement over spending time with him.

“Ah, yes yes, the question.” Crowley finally adjusts back to his inside voice and moves his hands to Aziraphale’s shoulders but still keeps his face close and eyes full of shine. “Yes, my angel. I would like to love you too. Forever, if necessary.”

And that’s when this story started. With a fraternizing angel and demon too soft and dumb to do their jobs properly. But hey, fraternizing with each other was the best goddamn decision they’ve ever made.

Now, cue Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy by Queen.
