Y'know This Has Actually Been Bugging Me For A While Now. Because In The Bible, The Antichrist, The Four

Sam offhand using, “well I’m older, so what I say goes,” during an argument and Quorra immediately disagreeing with him. Because yeah, Sam was technically “born” first and he’s older in the real world sense. But Quorra’s lived thousands of cycles on the grid, so in that sense she’s existed for longer than Sam has. They argue about it constantly, to the point that even Alan’s heard the discourse. So to shut them up one day Alan just says, “you’re twins. Now cut it out.” And it’s kind of stuck.

It became such a thing that Alan bought them ‘thing 1’ and ‘thing 2’ shirts for Christmas one year. They wore them in the Bradley family Christmas card.

And when someone at work asks Sam, “Who’s the girl?”, motioning to the picture of Quorra on his phone.

He always shrugs and says, “Oh that’s my sister. We’re twins.”

Just a throwaway joke I wanted to get out there before Ares. Some daily life of Quorra and Sam. A sketch I spent too much time on. 😅

When people ask me what cut of meat they should get for a specific recipe and I recommend a thing and they go with something completely different and probably wrong because what do I know about meat it’s not like I work at a meat market

retail though

If you told me I'd be cosplaying Supernatural in the year 2023 and getting a hyper specific shirt for a silly meme I would not believe you.

Ok love u bye ❤️

would you join a revolution for him?

careful, he looks like he might be falling apart just a bit,,,

HOLD ON are you telling me the Grid's official name is the Tron System WHAT

You name the the main city after him, you name the system itself after him, you name the whole damn IP after him, and the character himself is barely in it?!

(kinda surprised Flynn didn't name his fuckin kid Tron at this point)

Holy forking shirtballs

I'm choosing violence today. I started this on Twitter, but I'm going to finish my thoughts here like I always do.

But what really blows my mind the most is the way that people look at Aziraphale's "choice" at the end, as if he had one to fucking begin with.

I'm sorry, but Aziraphale knows how messed up Heaven is. He told The Metatron, more than once, that he did not want to go back to Heaven! We can debate what each of us means by "choice" all night because my "choice" and your "choice" might be two different concepts. He could have been strong armed by The Metatron or he could have looked at where things were headed and realized he had no choice but to intervene himself.

You need to ask yourself what Aziraphale has a moral imperative to do.

What do we owe to each other?

Seriously, if you have not watched The Good Place, I recommend you go and watch it, because it absolutely shaped how I've viewed Good Omens 2 since its release.

My levels of frustration with the bad faith mischaracterizations of Aziraphale are off the charts. If you are blaming him for everything, implying that he should have to grovel and that Crowley has a right to hurt him back, you have missed the point of Good Omens entirely.

I defend Aziraphale, but I don't think one of them is more right or wrong than the other. They're equals. They're a group of the two of them, acting and reacting to each other throughout history. They're Alpha Centuri.

I cannot even begin to explain how fucking devastated I felt when Crowley said these words, knowing he was fighting a losing battle. What he said took a lot of courage because he's finally admitting something they've both been too scared to publicly define for 6,000 years. Crowley has had to spend so long with a rough outer shell because he fell and had to hide all of his softness.

The look on his face was one of pure joy when he created that nebula, but I think the fact that he got to share that moment with Aziraphale is what has always stuck with him.

So yeah, seeing Crowley with a broken heart at the end of "Every Day" was sad for me as well.

My brain still lives here!!

But Neil has said that Good Omens 3 is not quiet, gentle, or romantic. I imagine it's going to be more like the the first season in which they are not central to the plot. GO2 will help us make sense of how they ended up where they are when we see the bigger picture with all the other major players involved with GO3.

Aziraphale was still a soldier and accidentally got himself discorporated in his own magic circle in season one. He had a platoon waiting on him to start Armageddon, and he deserted them to go save the world with Crowley instead. Aziraphale is a deserter. I need everyone to remember that. He yeeted himself out of Heaven and sought out Crowley before even locating a body just to warn him about what was happening so they could try to save the world together.

I can't help but think of 1941 and that magician who had been arrested for being a deserter.

Aziraphale disobeyed orders. That took courage but it branded him as a traitor against Heaven. They tried to destroy him for it the same way Hell tried to destroy Crowley for his part in stopping the war.

Aziraphale and Job are the only characters we have seen interacting with God directly. Aziraphale has spoken to God before and he is determined to do so again.

Aziraphale knows Heaven is flawed, but he also knows it's supposed to be good. He wants it to be good. He does not like the way the system works and he wants to make a difference. (And I'm pretty sure he's also determined to talk to God without being intercepted by The Metatron.)

Since when is that a bad thing? I don't get it. And I've had this discussion before.

If you need to change the system by burning the old one to the ground, it's still change, and we don't know what Aziraphale has planned.

It seems to me that people just want to see Aziraphale fail because it would punish him for returning to Heaven instead of running off with Crowley.

Some of y'all take everything Aziraphale says or does and twist those things into malicious anti-Crowley actions because you think the only reason Aziraphale exists is to make Crowley happy, and if he isn't thinking only about Crowley then he's doing something wrong.

Aziraphale does not exist as a plot device to further Crowley's character. They come as a pair. They've been learning from each other for 6,000 years. Crowley challenges Aziraphale just as much as Aziraphale challenges him.

You can be mad at Aziraphale all you want, but villainizing him is gross. Defending Crowley does not mean you have to tear down and mischaracterize Aziraphale anymore than defending Aziraphale means you have to tear down Crowley (but I don't see that happen on nearly the same level it happens to Aziraphale). Stop painting Aziraphale as an abusive partner, for fuck sake.

Aziraphale knows there are flaws in the system. He wants to make a difference, and since he has seen that Gabriel can change, then maybe the whole system can. He has to at least try, and if he can succeed then maybe he and Crowley can stop hiding and finally be together without having to look over their shoulders all the time.

Why is that a bad thing? He's just as protective of Crowley as Crowley is of him!

But don't forget that Aziraphale's wing was covering Adam and Eve too. As much as a wants to protect Crowley, he has a moral imperative to keep humanity safe as well.

He sent Adam and Eve into the unknown with a flaming sword so they could protect themselves.

As much as he wants to be with Crowley, there are 8 billion people on Earth heading toward the Second Coming and Judgment Day. They'll work together to fight alongside humanity in the end. Aziraphale should not have to humiliate himself just to earn Crowley's forgiveness. That's a rancid notion.

The Resurrectionist was a whole ass moral dilemma for Aziraphale, which is why I brought up The Good Place earlier, but that's a post for a different time.

Aziraphale has his own motivations and they're just as important as Crowley's, and they don't have to be chalked up to Aziraphale being the bad guy. Weird, I know, but shades of grey.

"To the world."

Is this it op?

Couldn't find the art on their Tumblr, but their url is aiwa-sensei here if you wanna see more of their lovely art!

i tried to find a specific piece of fanart i saw a bit ago as a writing reference but even after combing through several tags and files i did not manage to locate it. i'm losing my mind help

so!

it's a sketch-like/line art drawing with a yellowed background, aziraphale is on his knees on the left side, crowley is sitting down on the right. aziraphale is taking care of his burned feet i think, but it might also be just washing them without the burns, i can't remember exactly.

if anyone knows which fanart i mean please let me know in whatever way. oh, and if you find something similar that's also good!

Wing Theory (not really im just thinking out loud)

Not having seen Aziraphale's wings since the end of season 1(chronologically speaking) has been haunting me. What would they look like after the appearance swap? After leaving heaven altogether?

Would they be black? Rejecting heaven and his angelic status resulting in his own choice to fall?

Would they still be white? A strong moral sense, a surety in what he's doing as the right thing keeping him from falling entirely(or just being God's specialest boy)?

Would they be gray? Not fallen per se, but still a bit on the fence? Caught between two worlds?Accepting that sometimes there are 'shades of gray?' (I think Crowley's would also be gray in such an instance maybe, which reminds me, im obsessed with what his wings might look like rn too.)

Do they even have wings anymore? Probably but I'm considering every damn possibility.

It's been making me wonder what's truly considered "fallen." I have more thoughts on the nature of falling itself but perhaps I'll save it for later.

Tell me your thoughts, I love wings!
