Guess who just watched Jesus Christ Superstar?
I was thinking about Crowley and Aziraphale
Soooooo new headcanon. Neither of them like the musical, they both think it’s good but they just don’t like it
Crowley doesn’t really like it because he knew JC and cries whenever he hears Gethsemane and sees the crucifixion.
Aziraphale doesn’t really like it because he is reminded of JC as well, and his importance at being able to do something while it was all happening
But most importantly, they don’t like it, because it reminds them of each other
Aziraphale aches at listening to Judas’ Death, it kills him inside, he knows the lyrics by heart and sobs quietly whenever he hears them. He sees Crowley in Judas, sees him wanting to help but how he’s punished for daring to ask, he sees how it’s Judas himself who continues punishing himself, and is reminded of how Crowley still wonders if what he did truly was so awful
Crowley breaks during Gethsamane yes because he knew JC and remembers him not even questioning what was going to happen to him, and tears up at the realisation that JC probably had that struggle for as long as he lived, but what gets him to genuinely cry, is hearing the lyrics and seeing Aziraphale’s ideologies and thoughts being reflected, and how none of his prayers nor questions have even been answered
Neither of them ever speak of how it affects them or why, neither ever mention it whenever it’s showing in the West End, it’s an unspoken rule, one that neither realise the other has.
They both have the LP though, and use it whenever the other hurts them, it reminds them the other is human, and that they make mistakes, it reminds them to be kind, and to love them no matter what.
