coming back on this account to speak my truth about a part of the finale: why do i think aziraphale saying crowley was an amazing angel was very anticlimactic.

as the series show a lot, crowley doesn’t like to be addressed as an angel, we know that since the start. many people have counteracted saying that he doesn’t like being called a demon either, and that’s right.

that’s the whole point.

crowley doesn’t like being called an angel in the same way he doesn’t like being called a demon, because he doesn’t fit in either of these categories.

crowley has been trying since the beginning to tell aziraphale that it doesn’t matter whether you’re an angel or a demon, you’re capable of doing a bad or good thing nonetheless (ex. eden, “a demon doing the right thing and an angel doing a bad one”, and let’s not forget the “angels, demons, what’s the point?”).

crowley isn’t nice because he is still the angel he was, nor is he mean because he is a demon now, he is simply who he is because he’s crowley and he made his own self.

he tried to show to aziraphale that these categories are meaningless in an universe in which God doesn’t even want to speak to Her children, you are who you decide to be, which is exactly why i didn’t like how the finale kept oscillating between black and white shades, demon crowley or angel crowley, without considering the shades of grey it was preaching ever since season 1.

crowley got either boiled down to his demon self or praised because of his angel self, something he didn’t want to be; he doesn’t want to be considered nice simply because of a status and not because of what he does, that’s the free will he was searching in season 1, the freedom of being who you want to be without being defined by someone else, but apparently the show forgot about that.

[aziraphales-library]

hello!!! how are you? :)

i wanted to kinda self-rec a fic i wrote a while ago: “whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it.” by ac1dd_s.

it’s a post-s3 fic in which aziraphale deals with some repressed problems of his own, while also reflecting on his relationship with heaven.

the topics in there are quite heavy, so i would very much advise to mind the tags!!

thank you for your amazing work, this page is really a blessing!!!<3

Thanks for sharing your fic with us. Heed the tags, folks!...

whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. by ac1dd_s (M)

When he thinks back of Heaven, Aziraphale thinks of the War. Or rather, the consequences of it. Aziraphale remembers fondly the never ending skies, the vastity of Heaven, the kindness of the angels. He remembers Her. He remembers Her voice and Her words, he remembers Her instructions and Her abstract hands caressing his whole being. He still thinks of Her, he thinks of Her all the time and he wonders if perhaps that’s not enough. He wonders if it may be bad, he wonders if it’s blasphemy, that he also thinks of Her when he cuts himself.

i think we as a society have started to forget how to grow. nowadays when someone sees someone else being better than them at an activity they love, their first response is either envy or delusion, but let me tell you the hack on becoming a better version of yourself: you learn.

stop crying over yourself for someone being better, stop thinking of yourself as inferior to them because of it and start thinking of them as your master. you make them your teacher, you make them your muse.

they’re better than you so your start studying, why are they better? how are they better? what do they do to be better? what is it about them that makes you think they’re better? and you learn.

i’ve seen so many people that to not appear stupid they just act like they know everything, so that you won’t think that they’re lesser beings, but what about the art of apprentice? i know nothing and i want to learn it, teach it to me, i’m not stupid, i want to know as much as i can about this and i want to honour someone who does.

[frvmewxrk]

just had this literally random thought pls don’t criticise me for it but what if instead of crowley being the fallen archangel raphael, it’s aziraphale who becomes him? he gets the job, the promotion, the metatron says that he needs to change his name, for his own angelic name had been stained by sin before, and aziraphale chooses raphael, an abbreviation of his name.

good dynamic: character who’s too deeply rooted to a fault + character who’s never been able to form roots anywhere before

[frvmewxrk]

dare i say, aziraphale and crowley.

[frvmewxrk]

i’ve read somewhere, maybe from N*** G’s words himself but i’m not sure (not to quote him..) that Crowley is all Aziraphale wants to be, and i think that’s very true.

In Aziraphale’s eyes, Crowley is un-effortlessly cool, suave in his moves. Crowley always seems to know the right thing to say and when to say it, Crowley always does the right thing even when he’s not able to show it, Crowley goes against the system he was born in without fear, Crowley mentally challenges Aziraphale with questions the latter has always been too scared to even utter out loud. He is everything Aziraphale dreams of being and yet always fails in when he tries.

And while I think that’s true, it was also said that Crowley cannot say the same for Aziraphale, and I kind of disagree: I think Aziraphale is everything Crowley has always wanted to be, but was never allowed to.

Aziraphale is soft, but in his softness hides strength, the core of an angel which wielded a flaming sword, Aziraphale is kind in the selfless way Crowley has never been able to be without some backlash in return, Aziraphale is naive in a way Crowley has never been able to be without getting hurt in return, Aziraphale gets rescued in a way Crowley has never been able to be without knowing that he’d be left behind. Aziraphale is strong and solid in his beliefs even though he knows how faulty they may be, but he has the unquestioning faith Crowley has never had because it goes against his very nature.

In truth, I think they both compliment each other extremely well even in the slightest details of their beings.

[frvmewxrk]

sometimes i find myself thinking about how stupid aziraphale’s choice to leave was, for thinking that he can actually change heaven, then i remember how he must’ve been feeling for more than six thousand years: of all the times he had to follow those mad instructions, all the times he had to ignore crying children for the sake of being obedient, of all the times he knew what the right thing was, but still had to do the “heavenly” thing, of all the times he wished he could matter in an environment where he didn’t matter at all.

“we can make a difference” is such a powerful quote, once you realise that aziraphale has not made a difference in his six thousand years of existence. he’s only followed rules which he didn’t even believe in, he’s sick and tired of this, he wants to matter, he wants the truth, he wants to be the one to make the rules so no one else has to live through what he did.

and here comes aziraphale’s innate selflessness, because crowley makes him matter. to crowley, he’s the most important being in the world, but that’s not enough, he needs to know that everyone that feels the way he felt will be treated good, he needs to know that he has been able to defeat the system that constantly belittles and ignores his employees.

crowley on the other hand, he already has lived through what aziraphale is feeling, he knows what it’s like to reinvent yourself completely, to be the one to make the rules instead of following them, he knows that to be truly free you need to let go of the system that damaged you, and you need to do that fully, but aziraphale has not come to that conclusion yet, they’re the perfect opposites.

[frvmewxrk]

i’ve drank four coffees, the sky is cloudy, my bus came late so i pulled out my headphones, my friend hugged me tight, my boyfriend of two weeks gave his scarf and told me to keep it (it smells like him), i read a beautiful book, i’m going out tonight, my tummy hurts whenever i eat. my father asked me how i was doing when i was looking at my phone and i yelled “fine” before even having the time to think about it, and now i’m thinking a lot about it. life is good.

[flowergrenades]

bc of how he learned French 'the hard way' and his private magic lessons, i wonder if Aziraphale sometimes goes to the most random classes and workshops just because he enjoys acquiring human skills and if there’s a stack of certificates somewhere in his bookshop. he doesn’t even need those skills bc he can miracle his way through the issues they deal with. he just likes the process. i can imagine him having the time of his life while learning. perhaps he’s mostly awful at it. but there’s so much value in the fact that those are his own skills, not heaven’s, they can’t be taken away - they’re fun, they’re perfectly imperfect, they’re uniquely his - and that's such a human thing

[frvmewxrk]

yes i just saw this, yes op wrote this like a year ago, but i can’t help but imagine aziraphale as the literally most grateful being in receiving a certificate.

you know the feeling when you have to take a class, either forced or to learn something, and they give you a little piece of paper that is honestly useless as you only needed to take the class/learn the skill? aziraphale loves those. aziraphale is definitely the type of being that tears up when he receives those and has the most precious reactions.

“oh no but are you sure i deserve it? i mean, have i really done that well? are you sure dear? oh i’ll treasure this forever! i shall hang it in my bookshop.”

“sir this is a participation certificate for a pottery class.”

crowley most definitely makes fun of him for all those classes he took and the certificates he still keeps but secretly just does it because he loves hearing the angel passionately taking about all the good experiences he’s had.

[frvmewxrk]

i’m in my analysing good omens era and i was just thinking at how aziraphale’s and crowley’s love languages are a big part of the reason it took them so long to figure out their reciprocated love.

when you’re a demon, an unforgivable creature, you don’t deserve to hear that you’re loved. demons don’t go around telling each other nice things, what they do if they want to show it, is acts of services.

a demon wouldn’t tell you you’re good, but they would cover up your duties for you and say that it’s so you owe them a favour which they will never claim, they wouldn’t say they love you but they would linger on your doorstep for a bit too long and steal your scarf as an excuse to meet you again.

and that’s what crowley does, he keeps aziraphale company and he makes him try food, he says that it’s to tempt him when it’s just an excuse to see the angel happy, he saves you from death situations and says that it’s because your substitute would be more of a bother than you are.

crowley never tells aziraphale anything, and that’s his way of showing him he loves him.

but when you’re an angel, doing nice things for each other is the norm, it’s the way to show the universe that you’re Good.

angels don’t go around giving each other’s things or doing your work for you, because that should be what you would do to anyone. if an angel gives you money, it’s not because they love you, it’s because they’re a good selfless person.

aziraphale does that countless times, he gives people his stuff, he never asks for money, he uses more miracles than necessary even if it means that he’ll get a reprimand just so he can help strangers on the street. acts of services for an angel are just intertwined in their essence.

so the only way to actually show it is to talk. if an angel loves someone, they have to tell them, if they love someone they tell them that they’re good and that they’re worth it. aziraphale positively lights up any time someone compliments him, because that’s what he needs to know that he’s loved.

so aziraphale tells crowley he’s good even if he knows that will make crowley skittish, aziraphale tells crowley that he always comes to save him to praise him for his caring, he tells crowley that he needs him and that’s the most loving words he could say, because what does an ethereal creature capable of anything need from anyone? their love, probably.

but they don’t understand each other.

crowley uses acts of service and aziraphale takes it as his way to show his forbidden goodness to the world, aziraphale uses words of affirmation and crowley thinks that’s his way of feeling better about himself for consorting with a demon.

why is 1941 and crowley saving his books so important for their relationship? because i think that’s when aziraphale realised the truth, crowley had already done his “good” act, he had already proved as he did countless times that he is not the usual demon and he’s actually nice, but saving something just because he knows aziraphale cares about that, and giving no excuse for his action, that’s something else.

it was the first act done, in aziraphale’s eyes, for no reason other than love.

aziraphale then tells him that he could do something for him in return, people interpret it as sexual (which i find very funny, mind you) but i think it’s just aziraphale’s way of telling crowley that he can also show him his love through acts, if that’s what crowley wants, he can save him back if that will mean crowley will realise that he loves him too.

and that’s why i also think that crowley is not very sure about the love being reciprocated, because he never had the realisation that aziraphale is always around him and telling him nice things because that’s how he can show his love.

and it is even worsened in the end, because if crowley knew, he would have waited for him.

it can be seen as a selfish act on crowley’s part, wanting your lover to put you over saving the universe, but i think it’s because crowley doesn’t know what aziraphale is doing. he can’t know that aziraphale is actually disregarding all of his feelings for the greater good, because crowley doesn’t know about these feelings.

what he thinks is that what he always thought was true, his angel doesn’t love him back and he chose heaven over him.

if they actually talked, it would’ve been resolved.

but the problem is that they don’t talk, they cling to their love and beliefs and they think that the other has finally caught up, and they are so convinced that they know everything of each other that they don’t find the need to do it.
