I present to you, my greatest life acomplishment. Ineffable Gothic! π€£π€£π€£ can you find all the Easter eggs?? No repost without credit please! American Gothic repaint.
Stunned mortal who just saw a miracle happen: Whatβs your name, angel?
Crowley, who really shouldnβt be caught dead doing one of Aziraphaleβs miracles, and whoβs about to invent a whole ass angelsona named Raphael: Oh, havenβt you heard?
you know how fandom likes to try to make nicknames out of aziraphale iβve seen azi and zira and honestly I still think his only legitmate nickname is βangelβ but
Raphael is the back half of Aziraphaleβs name
crowley invented a whole ass angelsona and named himself after Aziraphale
crowley and aziraphale bumbling their way into wildly misconstrued and misinterpreted appearances in historical and religious texts is basically already canon, so
@goodomensblog iβm including your tags because seriously, same, itβs so in character for him thatβs the first time iβm agreeing for real with the raphael hc thing.Β
#THIS IS MY FAVORITE CROWLEY IS RAPHAEL HEADCANON#tbh iβm not crazy about the idea of Crowley being Raphael pre-fall#but the idea of him bullshitting his way through an awkward social interaction#and accidentally inventing a whole ass new angel??#with part of aziraphaleβs name????!#lsndksnsksnsns its the equivalent of that scene where the person glances around the room and picks a random object as their name lsnsksmsms#this is so funny#good omens#crowley#favorite
Butβ¦Heaven starts getting multiple memos about an βArchangel of Healingβ and Gabriel is standing there, printout in hand like, βWHO THE FUCK IS RAPHAEL?!β
Listen I support this headcanon with all my heart because itβs too perfect.
Further proof of this, Raphael went by the name Azariah in the Book of Tobit.
I am like, 100% sure that an angel named Raphael/Israfil/insert-variation-of-your-choice-here never existed in the GO universe. Every single mention of them is either humans misremembering Aziraphaleβs name, or Crowley thinking heβs very sneaky.
Gosh. Look at how that shadow (Crowleyβs shadow? It looks like itβs actually being cast by something else, but itβs βcoming fromβ him) is just starkly, directly pointing at Aziraphale. His hand reaches out of it, holding the wine.
And meanwhile, the light on Aziraphaleβs side points at Crowley, too.
#fandom has written off Gabriel as dumb but like #you donβt show up unannounced with a violent enforcer your employee is clearly uncomfortable around and trap him in a room by accident #this is deliberate mob level intimidation #βpolitelyβ reminding him exactly what theyre capable of if he steps out of line #and its terrifying #he cant even look at them
@ileolai hitting the nail on the head as usual!
In addition, Sandalphon is blocking the exit. And he and Gabriel are standing at complete 180 degree points with Aziraphale in the centre. This is a thing I have known sadistic interviewers to do: to deliberately sit (or stand) at such angles to the victim/interviewee that they can never have both interviewers in their eyeline at the same time. To make eye contact with one, you have to lose sight of the other. Normally Iβve seen it done with the two interviewers at 90 degrees, so the interviewee has to keep turning their head. This is even more cruel: Aziraphale has to turn his back on whomever is not speaking. Itβs a deliberate tactic to make a victim more awkward and wrong-footed, and in this case, even physically vulnerable.
Yep. Youβve articulated what I was trying to get at with ββtrapββ. You donβt block off the exits like that to have a polite conversation. You do it to threaten somebody.
Itβs like they took the mob intimidation bit from the original book and turned it into something far more horrifying and with more weight for his character arc, because this is what gangsters do to scare people. imo Gabriel is fairly well aware of whats going on long before the surveillance photos come into it and he just likes watching Aziraphale squirm with anxiety over how much he knows, because heβs not stupid, heβs a sadistic bully.Β
And Aziraphale is playing the game so well. He tells himself he trusts them but he absolutely doesnβt. He smiles, he nods, he tells them nothing. He has a quick answer for the jibe about the evil smell. He shows zero reaction to their loud comments about pornography (react, and prove youβre more used to humans than to angels? That you find angels embarrassing now? That you know more about earth than the guy who stationed you there?). Heβs covering his ass expertlyβhe knows how to defend himself. Heβs watched angels fall.
Like donβt get me wrong, I like a good clueless boss as much as the next person. But thatβs not Gabriel. Michael asks if Gabriel minds Michael following up through back channels and Gabriel plainly says βthere are no back channels, Michaelβ and itβs not because Gabriel thinks there are no back channels, of course there fucking are, heβs been using them too. But how dare Michael bring them up so baldly. How dare Michael betray the ruse, and to his face like that. Theyβre the good guys, you know.
@guardian-of-soho is so right here though. After centuries working in a place that uses these intimidation tactics all the time in attempt to get under your skin, youβre going to learn a few things. Azirapahle is terrified of them of course, theyβre fucking horrible, but heβs smart too. He knows how to deal with these bastards, even if heβs only βdealing with themβ subconsciously.
Neil: I kind of wound up having to write this as a love story, and part of the joy of writing a love story is the break-up, because you canβt get back together again unless youβve broken up. So this is the break-up.
Douglas: I think you can say itβs two actors working at peak.
Neil: They really are. I mean theyβre so good. And I remember watching this being shot, knowing how good it was.
β¦
Douglas: We landed on that location kind of by mistake through scheduling, and Iβm so glad we did it that way in the end.
Neil: Oh yeah, it was origially set in-
Douglas: It was set at night, wasnβt it?
Neil: It was set at night in St. Jamesβs Park.
Douglas: But the Queen wouldnβt let us put on lights in St. Jamesβs Park at night.
Neil: Bless.
