Aziraphale wants, with all his soul, to repair something that cannot be repaired. And I'm not talking about Heaven right now.

I've read so many fabulous meta posts about people's various takes on what was going on in Crowley and Aziraphale's heads and hearts in that last shared scene. To me, ultimately it boils down to one thing:

Aziraphale wants to undo what has been done to Crowley. Not him being a demon, precisely, but him being hurt. Him being ever made to feel lonely and sad and angry and unwanted. Making him an angel isn't about giving him back a better status; it's about Aziraphale trying to undo the things that have hurt him.

But there is no erasing trauma.

Making Heaven better for Crowley, with Crowley, even if it could be done (which i don't believe is possible, and i don't think the show intends us to believe is possible), wouldn't change the fact that he was cast out for curiosity and doubt and questions. That harm has been done. Crowley has healed from it, may well still be healing -- but he has been changed by it, and there is no going back.

"It can be like it was before," Aziraphale says, and there is so much love meant in that. I can make it all better, I can undo what hurt you.

But he can't.

And when Crowley says he understands better than Aziraphale, this is what he means. Heaven will never be his home again. What happened to him can't be undone, and the place that did it and the power behind that place can't be fixed by Aziraphale.

You can't undo trauma; you can only move on.

Crowley doesn’t know how to say “The trauma I went through is part of who I am.”

He doesn’t know how to explain “I don’t want the old happiness back, I want a new happiness with you.”

The more I think about this conversation, the more it breaks my heart.

Crowley using a crank handle to operate the universe ❤

The products of trying to recreate what was going on outside the frame during the kiss. (for ENTIRELY SCIENTIFIC purposes)

@actual-changeling altered my whole outlook on life with this post about Aziraphale's left hand (I'd only been looking at his right hand) and I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I painted the rest of the fucking owl (and his bf).

so normal about this

[fuckyeahisawthat]

Ok (1) the art is gorgeous, will be staring at that for some time and (2) I too have been losing it since I spotted that tiny little bit of Aziraphale’s left hand on Crowley’s shoulder.

But I’m also just dying at the symbolism of the physicality here because—the fraught tangle of emotions aside—the thing that makes it so physically awkward is that Crowley’s got his death grip on Aziraphale’s lapels the whole time, so his arms are in the way of them being fully body to body. If he relaxed and put his arms around Aziraphale’s waist, for example, it would be a much more natural embrace and they’d be closer together. But the emotions of the scene don’t lead in that direction, so in his desperation Crowley is actually putting a physical barrier between them that makes it harder for them to reach each other.

Sitting here watching s2xe5 and it’s the scene where Crowley is asking Aziraphale why his French is so bad and he says “I went to Monsieur Rossignol’s night classes in 1760”.

I decided to Google if this was a real person since the name wasn’t familiar to me, and instead I had my giant gay heart stomped on by Neil Gaiman once again.

The French word for nightingale: Rossignol

It’s the language of romance and Aziraphale took night classes with a Mr. Nightingale. I CAN’T BREATHE.

[losyanya]

It's the language of romance, of LOVE, and Aziraphale learned it the hard way, the human way, setting aside the Heavenly presets I ALSO CANT BREATHE

The thing is. The thing is… a car is no place for plants to grow. Even if you carry the plants into a bookshop sometimes. They still need… space. And patience. And love. The plants are crowley.

[snogfairy]

the plants have always been crowley (beautiful and scared and lonely, trying to impress, actually loved so much more than they know)
