Do you reckon heās one of those ppl that bites to show affection
mwah
My two cents on Aziraphale's "I forgive you" is that he was straightforwardly lashing out. He knows how little Crowley wants to be forgiven. He knows because Crowley just told him. Crowley rejects forgiveness so absolutely that he rejects Aziraphale right along with it. It's the whole fight in a microcosm: Aziraphale standing there offering forgiveness and Crowley saying, I don't want it.
So maybe the words are Aziraphale showing he finally understands Crowley. He knows now that "I forgive you" is the very worst thing he could say to Crowley. That's why he says it. That's how he means it.
Oh, absolutely at face value it is a "fuck you". And yet, judging by his face again, he regrets it the moment it drops out of his mouth. And when the Metatron comes in during their exchange in the bookshop he several times looks through the window at where Crowley supposedly stands near the Bentley, with overwhelming tenderness. Not even a trace of that "fuck you" remaining.
Yes, absolutely! It was a furious moment of weakness, not how he really feels. As soon as the anger dissolves, he's left with the ashen taste of regret in his mouth.
So was Crowley's "Don't bother" a "Fuck you too" then? And him waiting at the Bentley is a sign of his regret?
Hmm, that doesn't feel quite right to me, but I'm not totally sure how I would frame his response in this context. Stay with me while I think it through for a minute.
"Don't bother" is a logical direct response to the words Aziraphale says. Crowley reiterates that he doesn't want forgiveness, which is what he's been saying all along. By now there's no ire behind it, though. He sounds more hopeless to me. More hurt? So maybe that's the message. Like, "Yeah, ok. Fuck me, I guess. This is still the line I have to draw." He's resigned and he hates the choice he's making but it's the only one he can make.
I think this is effectively what he's saying when he waits at the Bentley, too. God, it's such a powerful image. I don't think it's regret; I think it's resolve.
In season one, after their fight at the bandstand, Crowley walks away from Aziraphale. But he comes back. He comes back three times. He begs Aziraphale to go with him. And finally, he stays to fight. He was never really going to leave Aziraphale. He'd watch the world burn around himself first.
This time is different. This time, he isn't going to run away and come back. He's said what he has to say and has nothing left to beg with. This is his fight. So he's laid all his cards on the table and this is it, this is what he has. And even now, he still won't leave Aziraphale.
So here is Crowley, holding the door open but refusing to walk through it.
Here is Crowley, saying, this is where I stand. It's your turn to walk away. I'm not going anywhere, but you have to be the one to come back.
There's... definitely something in Crowley going, essentially, 'I'm not going to push this anymore, I'm not going to force the decision, you have to make the choice on your own this time...but when you do, I'll still be here.'
Because that's what Crowley does, right, that's their dynamic: he pushes. He goes faster than Aziraphale is comfortable with, he argues and tempts and reframes the issue over and over again until he finds an angle that allows Aziraphale to talk himself into doing what he already knew he wanted/was the right thing to do.
But not this time. This time, Aziraphale has to make that call on his own.
Yes, exactly. Crowley is done - but he's not done with Aziraphale. He's done with playing the Serpent to Aziraphale's Eve. He doesn't want to help Aziraphale find the excuse that makes each little transgression the exception any more. He needs Aziraphale to reject that entire framework. And he needs Aziraphale to be able to do it on his own.
The thing is that Aziraphale can. Many of his boldest moves were when he didn't have Crowley there to help him. Giving away his sword and lying to God about it in the Garden. Refusing to march into battle during Armageddon and instead possessing a human in order to stop it. He has that core of steel in him already.
What Aziraphale hasn't been able to do is catalyse that defiance on his own. It's always, "I've been put on the spot and I have to make a decision" and never "I can see where this path leads and I'm not going to walk down it". Job is probably the closest he got to premeditated defiance, and even then, he mostly convinced other people to do the actual defying and tried to avoid lying about it right up until he really couldn't any more (obviously he still pursued it when he could have walked away and did the right thing at a huge risk to himself. Just, the most transgressive things he did were still done in the heat of the moment). So this is part of what Crowley does for him - he helps Aziraphale get past that threshold holding him back, before the situation gets dire enough that Aziraphale has no other choice.
Which brings us to the other thing Aziraphale has not yet been able to do, which is something Crowley by definition cannot do for him. Aziraphale has never trusted himself above anything and anyone else. He pushes boundaries but he puts it all into a framework where everything he does is part of the Ineffable Plan, something God really wants even if They aren't saying so. He's never stood entirely alone, with everyone else against him, and said "I believe in this". That's enormously hard to do. Most people will never have to find out if they can or not. But he's not most people; he's an angel in love with a demon. If he ever wants something real with Crowley, he's going to have to find the strength to do it.
THIS. You get it.
I'm a sucker for too-shy-to-hold-hands Crowley :)
if i was a court jester iād flirt with the king at any given opportunity. subtle at first but if he was interested and weād share banter then iād sit in his lap. then he would say iām the funniest silliest little man alive and kiss me with tongue
how could he NOT fall in love with me though like i am literally there making him giggle, daily. a grown man covered in gold and he is just laughing at my stupid little jokes. i have that bastard wrapped around my finger. He knows it
all part of the plan
A quick doodle
thinking about how much crowley and aziraphale have been getting slammed for their poor communication and on the one hand... absolutely, i agree 100%. they have so much work to do in that department, they are always missing each other when it comes to seeing what they each want from the other and expressing it clearly. but on the other hand... like... encompassing six thousand years into a conversation? six thousand years of knowing each other. six thousand years of gravitating toward one another
like... the bit that really gets me, in crowley's confession, is - "...and we've spent our existence pretending that we aren't. i mean, the last few years, not really" - this implication that like... at least on crowley's part... since they saved the world together he's allowed himself to be more open in how he feels about aziraphale. that in his mind he's already long since chosen Their Side, they've chosen their side in their behavior towards each other, and they've talked about... our car, our shop, but even before that...
we see in the minisodes, the way they already act. they're a pair that shows rather than tells all the time and it's so abundantly clear that everyone around them can see it, is constantly asking about it, assuming it, reading it on them like they're an open book - with everyone but each other.
but like how do you put into clumsy human words how much love you feel for someone who stood next to you while you created the stars? who helped you create them? how do you say openly how you feel to the one person who understands you and your nature better than anyone else, who indulges your every whim because they want to see you happy while everyone else says you were built wrong, you're too indulgent, you're too soft but you're perfect for him, specifically, because you stood at the beginning of the universe together?
like how are they supposed to talk about that? especially when it's so forbidden to talk about that?
there are so few words that truly feel like they properly encompass what love truly and genuinely means? what loving someone TRULY means? how it's giving up your onliness and entrusting yourself into the hands of another, now you're not just you, now you're you but the world is brighter and sharper and more beautiful because of another? how we're all stuck on a spinning rock in the middle of space in the middle of the universe in the middle of the galaxy in the middle of eternity just little grains of sand and then there's another little grain of sand in the scheme of things, but it's the most important one ever created because of how happy it makes you?
but multiply that by six thousand years
so like of course you fucking cry and you stare at each other with tears in your eyes like you're absolutely ESSENTIAL to one another. but like how do you make it work in words when you don't know if there are even words for the prospect of existing without one another? and you have this absolutely incandescent and fragile thing between you that everyone understands to exist, you understand it to exist too, and sometimes it is scary as fuck to admit that you need someone. it is terrifying and uncomfortable and vulnerable and we're just people who live maybe 100 years on this earth? a blink of an eye compared to six thousand years of shared existence?
like...? truthfully i don't think i could talk about it easily either because oh my god that's fucking terrifying. that six thousand years of your comfortable and beloved shared existence could go up in smoke with one misplaced word. like no fucking WONDER he can't get the words out. and no fucking wonder, it's easier to couch things in terms like group and team and everything when you're on the verge of falling apart into a million pieces because the other half of your soul wants to leave you behind. it's easier to say come with me, work with me, be my second in command, than to admit he's first in your heart and mind every second of every day since you saw him bringing light at the beginning of the universe???
just... you know? they need a fucking break. they need a vacation. they need a cottage in the south fucking downs
So, I was rewatching the kiss scene frame-by-frame, as one does, and I realized something. First I thought, well, Alex, you probably saw that wrong, letās keep going. A minute later, however, I was confronted with the reality of no, not mistaken.Ā
Maybe I am late to the party and everyone has already seen it and knows about it, but in case there are people that havenāt: Aziraphale not only puts his hand on Crowleyās back, he puts his left one on his waist BEFORE that.
Not just that, he slides it up and also uses it as leverage to pull Crowley closer. I could go through those few seconds one frame at a time, but that would take forever, so I will give you the highlights in chronological order.
His hands flutter around at first and donāt settle anywhere, which is actually really useful since it shows us what the angle for that looks like.
Now, the next time his left hand moves up, look at the progression. It does not go down the same way as before. Instead, it moves inward and against Crowleyās waist. And it STAYS THERE right up until he moves both of his hands away.
Look at the angle!!!! Look at how it moves INWARD and towards Crowley instead of straight down like before.
Still moving towards Crowley with a slight downwards drift because he is aiming for his waist.
Now it is too low for us to see but I think it is very obvious where his hand has settled. Maybe I am going insane after only thinking about this show for almost a month straight. Maybe not. Call me crazy but the angle here is DIFFERENT. The second one very much looks like he is holding onto Crowley.
Aziraphale kisses back. Fully kisses back. Somehow, that wasnāt enough for Michael Sheen, no, he had to fully commit to it and *close his eyes* when he reciprocates, too. Look at this!!! The way his eyes flutter shut when Crowley first grabs him, then open, and then CLOSE AGAIN when he starts holding him in return. Kissing back with his eyes closed and his arms wrapped around him. The last picture is right before he moves his hand to his waist/the frame after the camera angle changes.
Anyone else losing it right now? No? Just me? Thatās fine, although I most definitely am not. Fine, that is. Michael Sheen Iām sending you my fucking therapy bills.
absolutely. and maybe everyone noticed that, but...
we can see a bit of his hand here.
so yes, absolutely. he kisses back.
now bye i'm going to cry at the bottom of my cave š
