Inspo: that one scene where Crowley is lying on the floor, depressed, and Endymion (1872) by George Frederic Watts

The painting depicts Endymion, the beautiful young shepherd from Greek mythology who was granted eternal sleep by Jupiter at the request of Diana, the Moon goddess who loved him. Diana is rendered as an ethereal, barely corporeal figure, “luminously visible,” as Watts himself described her. The entire scene is conceived as a circular composition, the two figures forming a closed, dreamlike cycle.

Watts, a major figure of British Symbolism, saw this subject as an allegory of dream, desire, and the unreachable. He reworked the painting several times throughout his life, trying to make Diana “more mystical, more visionary.”

Wholly inaccurate, and very in the spur of the moment, but I vibe sketched this thing after watching that thing.

I guess I draw an imaginary kiss every season, so I suppose it’s fitting.

I didn’t care for it.

I’m going to leave this up for a little bit, until the drawing problems with it bug me enough to take it down.

Aziraphale and Crowley's last kiss explained (by a European) ✨❤️

I shall jump straight to the point: people online did NOT seem pleased with Aziraphale and Crowley's last kiss. However, unlike them, i believe this was a deeply meaningful, touching and romantic moment for us to see and i thought I'd give my two cents about it too.

For starters: this was an APOLOGY kiss. That's right people, not a simple "I love you" or "I like you back" kiss but a PROPER apology kiss. Aziraphale reaches for it first, it's the first thing that comes to his mind when he realizes this might actually just be the last time they ever get to see each other. He wants to start over, do it better, and in order to do that he needs Crowley's forgiveness for everything that has happened in the past few years for things to finally be RIGHT.

He also touches his lips the same way he did when he first got kissed by Crowley at the end of season 2, except this time he does it to "give it back". It simbolizes Crowley's feelings being reciprocated, a tender act of apology for not kissing him back the first time but finally doing it right this time. He no longer thinks of that touch to his lips with sorrow or hatred or confusion, but rather as an answer, as something beautiful, as the love he's always felt but could never find the courage to openly reciprocate until now.

As for a possible additional meaning, here in Europe a kiss given by the fingertips can symbolize many things. One of them is "farewell" (and given the context of this scene i might add this kiss was the perfect choice), it's a sign of respect and profound admiration, it's a tender act to say goodbye in a polite and innocent way: it's pure, just like them.

Additionally, in my country, a kiss by the fingertips is most commonly known as a religious act, a sign of devotion and adoration done to the feet of sacred statues and holy sculptures; it symbolizes complete submission to our deepest love for the holy and to surrender to the greatness of the saint we behold, to give them our complete and undoubted faith.

it's loyal, It's devoted and faithful, It's endlessly filled with love and respect, it's playful and innocent but also clever and bold: it represents Aziraphale PERFECTLY. ❤️

i believe we were very lucky to be able to see the different ways these two characters express their love for one another, we get to see how Crowley expresses his love through a kiss and we get to see how Aziraphale does it in his own way. They both come straight from the heart, both dripping with need and affection and love, but each in their own, unique ways.

Their kiss is THEM, it's a reflection of what they think of one another, how they see each other, and how they perceive their relationship. And i think it's the single most beautiful thing I've ever seen in a very, VERY long while.

Let's talk about that cold open though

Honestly, this pure h/c cold open may be my favorite part of the finale. At least its potential to launch a thousand fics was so palpable I could feel it on my skin.

Anyway, some observations worth pondering (and what a bummer that we're never going to get official answers to any of those).

As the camera zooms in on the Eternal Flame, there's a gravely injured angel just slightly down below. Is that Crowley? The scene is blurry and poorly lit, but we can tell that the angel has a long dark hair and is wearing a hooded cape which partially obscures their face.

I tried editing the screencaps to increase brightness and contrast and apologize for not the best quality overall.

So, do we think this angel is Crowley? Because when we see him in the next couple of minutes, he is wearing a hood, and his hair is long:

But then, of course, the angel at the bottom of the Eternal Flame had wings - battered, charred even, but still white underneath it all - and Crowley, when we see him, doesn't. Did he just hide them before trying to ambush Aziraphale?

And then there's the acting credits in the closing titles:

So, Crowley was the first character to appear onscreen according to this. But does it apply to the cold open or to the main part only? Because Crowley was the first one to appear in that one too (the back alley scene). Really really intriguing.

Another feature of interest in the cold open is Crowley's eyes. It's hard to see, but he still has his angelic pre-snake eyes:

Angelic eyes and quite possibly still white angelic wings? Then in this scene Crowley is a rebel angel who had just lost the war - but he hasn't yet fallen. Sooo fascinating - and again, it sucks that we will never see any of this elaborated in the canon. But that's what fan works are for.

POV: you've barely been a demon for 0.2s and a pensive angel general with gorgeous hair is offering you your first act of kindness instead of killing you on the spot, at risk for his own self. It's all very confusing.

This touch from Crowley, that look from Aziraphale. This shot means everything to me.
