just checked my automatic text replacements on google that it's collected from my writing over the years and i-- i think i need to be retired from writing. or like, using english at all.
functionally suicidal character saying “I would die for you” to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me he’d sell hot dogs for me, I wouldn’t feel very moved now would I
it’s so special to me that so much of fan culture is textual analysis for the love of the game. like thank god there are people in my phone who are also thinking about this thing i love so much that they are writing transformative fiction as character studies and setting clips of the show to music with theme-relevant lyrics and writing long text posts analyzing every line of dialogue like!! yay!!!
“when heaven ends life here on earth it will be just as dead as when hell ends it” he can’t believe aziraphale can’t see what he’s seeing but his glass hasn’t shattered yet this is TEA
Now that my brain has finally kicked in, I can't stop thinking about this.
I don't know if this was the angle the show was trying to take, but I don't care because I love it so much and it fits.
In season 2 episode 1, Gabriel obviously shows up to the bookshop with amnesia. Aziraphale tells Crowley at the coffee shop and Crowley looks visibly stunned, confused, and jealous after hearing about the "naked man" in Azraphale's shop.
Crowley then finds out that it was actually Gabriel who was there and when he couldn't convince Aziraphale to just leave him somewhere, Crowley leaves Aziraphale to deal with it himself.
Later, he's in his Bentley and - thanks to Beelzebub - learns how serious the Gabriel situation truly is. So, Crowley - being the pining demon that he is - drives straight back to Aziraphale.
Okay. We all know this. I know, I'm getting there.
Along the way back to the shop, he has to swerve around a bus. He yells, "Get out of the way!"
Followed by a much quieter, almost petulant, "There's only room for one of us in this lane, and it's not you."
So, this little scene here always confused me. It doesn't add anything to the story or plot. Why bother to film/add lines to a scene where Crowley is just simply driving back to Aziraphale?
Then I remembered the reason as to why Crowley was speeding back to Aziraphale. Gabriel.
Remember when Crowley was clearly stunned (jealous 🙂↕️) at the mention of a naked man in Aziraphale's bookshop?
When he yelled at the bus - telling it to get out of his way and then saying that there is only room for him in this lane - he was actually "saying" it to Gabriel. In a way.
Like he just had to get it out of his system before he went off at Gabriel when he got back to the bookshop.
I think his jealousy reared its head when he realised that Gabriel showed up with no clothes on and stole Aziraphale's attention away from him (I know that sounds a little childish, but you know what I mean).
Again, I feel late as hell to this realisation and I'm sure that someone else has come to the same conclusion. Obviously, I could be completely wrong, but it just fits Crowley so well.
People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.
"what if they fucked" WRONG. what if they ruined each other's lives irreparably. what if there was nothing left but a smoldering heap. what if everything that brought them together twisted and corroded and ripped them apart. and then they fucked.
“you know what it’s like, when you don’t know anything at all and yet you’re totally certain that everything would be better if you were just near one particular person?”
“no! certainly not! i have no idea what that feels like. what makes you say that?”
very subtle. not suspicious. completely normal way to react. absolutely no trace of blind panic.
on another note everyone NEEDS to immediately go read (or listen) to the unselected journals of emma m. lion. new favorite books by far, they are the best books i have read in perhaps a long while! incredibly well written and crafted, indulgent in the most lovely way possible, witty, hilarious, and some of the most fantastic characters i have ever had the pleasure to read.
definitely for lovers of british/uk period pieces and perhaps anne of green gables lovers. slow burn in the best possible way esp bc romance is not the main focus at all, books still coming out and going so so strong. there's eight volumes, ninth coming out this year! but generally quick reads esp the first few, i binged all eight (reading and listening) in a little over a week
if you have read them pls talk to me about them immediately <333
