Are anyone here irrationally worried that something is going to happens to the cast of good omens, or to Neil Gaiman, and we won’t get our s3? like sudden death or an accident? Because I worry even though it is 100% irrational and has maybe a 1% chance of actually happening?
The way they enter by the ears is a bit unsettling, but it’s also me
difficulty focusing
«I am alone, in the cold and aseptic rooms of Heaven and all my thoughts are far from holiness... was it the ultimate temptation? Or will it be the cause of my fall? Because, oh Lord, I shouldn’t… but I can't help but remember. I can’t stop myself from putting my hand to my lips to relive the memory.
Will you notice my thoughts, God, and make me fall? I think I would be strong enough to bear it. Long ago I feared that I had become a demon for defying Your will. But now I know. I’ve seen so much and I’ve understood it can be goodness and kindness in demons as well as wickedness in angels. I might challenge Your judgment now, for something I feel right.
But him? Would he still want me if I wasn’t the way I am? He calls me “Angel”... but what if I wasn’t? Would he love my demonic features like I love his yellow eyes? Would he keep coming back for me? I think I could bear everyone's judgement, including Yours, but if he looked at me differently... this would be too much and then, only then, I would really fall.»

And since then…
Crowley knew He was the one….
I feel like Jon and Martin wasn’t anything before Martin actually said he loved jon because Jon just never considered it a possibility, and when in S4 Martin said he loved him he was like “oh wait.. I am up to that actually let’s get together”
I think I have a potentially controversial opinion on Aziraphale and the ending.
So one of the things that made me smile so, SO much, was THIS:
That PURE ABSOLUTE UTTER JOY.
We have not seen ANYTHING like that from demon Crowley. We've seen him be drunk and silly, we've seen him be amused, but we've not seen this.
Now, let's consider what we know about Heaven:
It's never fully populated. ALL of the shots are completely devoid of angels, except for a few, who are almost always just getting somewhere and never really talking to each other.
Where I thought the archangels were a tight clan, it really looks like they're super catty and prone to jealousy. No doubt they would stab each other in the back happily if it came down to it. How much of Heaven is like that, if even the archangels all hate each other?
Aziraphale already has a nervous disposition when he meets Crowley. Is he perhaps an angel that NEVER fit in? Is he familiar with being ostracized by his peers? Just how lonely IS Heaven? Crowley seems to be a pretty powerful angel, and HE doesn't even know that it's all getting shut down in 6000 years -- it's like no one talks to anyone.
Aziraphale, during their whole meeting, looks absolutely smitten. At one point, Crowley goes, "Look at you! You're gorgeous!" and Aziraphale looks over with happy surprise, just before realizing he's not looking at him but rather at what he's created. And then, when Crowley starts going on about making suggestions and asking questions, Aziraphale is IMMEDIATELY concerned and doesn't want him to get into trouble.
Aziraphale is hooked on this angel, and I cannot help but think that this is perhaps the first angel who has ever WELCOMED Aziraphale into his company.
He is hooked on this angel, and the way Crowley smiles is with the light of all the stars he's just created, and it's infectious and it brings a smile to Aziraphale's face as well. And then this angel shields him from the oncoming falling stars.
He is hooked on this angel, and then this angel goes and joins the Great Rebellion, and becomes fallen himself.
"You were an angel once," Aziraphale said, softly, at the bandstand. He remembers.
I think it's reasonable to guess that Heaven has never felt so warm as it did in the presence of millions of exploding stars, next to the (arch?)angel that may perhaps be one of the few (only?) to pay him any positive attention.
I think it's reasonable to assume that Heaven was not the same after Crowley fell. I wouldn't be surprised to find out Aziraphale had wondered about the angel, wondered if he was okay. I would imagine that Aziraphale keeps that picture of pure, angelic, unbridled joy somewhere inside of him.
So, really, is it any surprise that threaded throughout EVERY interaction, Aziraphale has this deep-down feeling that Crowley is good? Would it be any surprise that Aziraphale, an angel who goes along with Heaven as far as he can (which isn't always), feels that if HE is still an angel, then what was done to Crowley was a great injustice?
I think it would make sense that we are shown "before the beginning" not just because it is fun, but because THIS is the foundational context for everything Aziraphale thinks Crowley is, everything Crowley enjoys. I think he remembers this moment and wishes he could live there forever. With Crowley. The two of them with this happiness, forever.
But nothing lasts forever, as much as he wishes it did.
I'm not saying Aziraphale was right with what he did to Crowley at the end of s2. There is a lot I think he did wrong. I think he held onto this picture so tightly, he didn't realize that Crowley had long since let it go, and painted a new one with Aziraphale with all the shades of grey he picked up as he sauntered (or plummeted) vaguely downward (into a pool of boiling sulfur).
I don't think he was right, but I do think he is understandable. I think there was a lot of selfishness, but also some misguided selflessness too. I watched that first scene with angelic Crowley and my heart actually broke a little, because I thought, "What a shame this joy was taken away from him."
I think Aziraphale is trying to right the injustice he feels has been done. But I also think Aziraphale doesn't realize that Crowley can never go back. The concept of falling never crossed Crowley's mind when he suggested that he ask a few questions, and he will NEVER get that kind of innocence back. And Aziraphale doesn't understand, because Heaven has clearly always just been that way for him (he is already aware of the danger of asking questions).
Crowley does not want to go back because he can never go back. He can never be the same angel he was when he thought he could build a universal machine that would crank out stars for eons and eons. He can never be the same angel he was when he thought he could make some suggestions and ask some questions and co-create with THE Creator.
Crowley understands that, and Aziraphale doesn't. But I can understand why Aziraphale would want to try. And I think it's all because of this:
Hot take that I don’t actually really believe in but I just started to think about it and I cannot stop thinking about it:
Aziraphale is kind of an asshole to Crowley:
He is so on and off: one day he brings out candles and wine and the other he tells Crowley that they are not even friends.
In 1945 aziraphale goes on (what seems to be) a date with Crowley and then in 1967 he drops the “you go too fast” speech.
I just imagine Crowley having to endure everything, never really knowing if aziraphale got his back or not, never knowing if he will be rejected or loved everytime he sees him.
I love ineffable husbands but damn Crowley is getting a lot of hurt for 6000+ years because of aziraphale.
I think I need to rewatch good omens for the 15th time to prove myself wrong and get rid of those unholy thoughts……. I haven’t watch GO in quite a long time and maybe the angsty part of fanon is slowly getting to me lmao
I also think I may be currently possessed with micheal or beezlebub trying to get me to hate the husbands because it’s part of their ineffable plan or something
