I just watched the Good Omens finale (I know I know it's been out for ages, but I wasn't gonna watch it during finals seasons, I am a masochist but not that much) and there's a few things I NEED to get out of my system so... buckle up ig (or if you don't care/don't want spoilers⚠️, scroll past, whatever)
1. Goodness gracious Crowley was ready to give up his Bentley, no questions asked, just to keep the library, the last thing he had of Aziraphale with him.
2. While we are on the theme, it is said in various occasions that Crowley enters the library often, still he never seems to sleep in it (first he sleeps in their... well his car 😉, then on the streets). Maybe because it's too painful? Maybe because he can deal with visiting the library to go down memory lane, to take care of it like a museum of all things that once were and are not anymore, but to sleep in it? Not when Aziraphale is not there, it's too painful without him, all too real in the lonely nights
3. We once again had proof that Crowley is nice, and Aziraphale is enough of a bastard to be worth knowing. We are all familiar with the trope: the hero will give up his love to save the city, the villain will give up the city to save his love. Crowley is a good guy at heart, his wish is for us humans to live in a universe where we have a choice, even if he won't be there to see it. Aziraphale wants Crowley, it's so clear in his eyes that even if for the entire episode he was pushing for universal happiness, when faced with the end of it all, the only thing he wanted was the one who completed him, his messy, silly and predictable love. He wanted his happiness. He wanted Crowley. And because of this, because Aziraphale would choose his love over anything else, he lets Crowley decide.
4. It's so poetic to me that Crowley, the angel who fell for asking questions, the demon who kept those questions in his heart until the end of times only to scream them in God's face, was the one who gave the final answer. The architect, the artist, the creator who struggled to see the sense in a work he couldn't fully comprehend no matter how many times he asked, was given the opportunity to answer for himself, to fix the problem which tormented him since the beginning of time, he was granted one last act of creation.
5. I know that in the new universe there's no god, but something she said stuck in my brain. She let Crowley and Aziraphale be together because their love made her smile. And then, at the end, in a completely new universe she created, a universe she (nor they) will be able to see, once again Anthony and Asa fall in love. I like to think that maybe it was intentional, that she knew that even in a universe with free will their love was so predictable to be unavoidable, in an almost ineffable way. Or maybe it's just a little treat for the new gods the humans created in this universe to smile at (there's no god, doesn't mean humans won't create one, or many for the matter)
6. I love the detail of the murales behind Asa and Anthony when Asa runs after Anthony to ask him out. Come on look at it... it's an angelic demon shoting an arrow to a heart like a little cupid 🥺
7. Also about this scene, Anthony doesn't give his number to Asa. He will wait for him. Because this is what Crowley does. He waits for Aziraphale. He waited for him when the angel told him he was going too fast. He secretly waited for him to come back from heaven even after he left. Hell, maybe he even waited for him to make a move. And he will wait for him at the restaurant.
8. Putting "You're my best friend" by Queen for the end credits was just the cherry on top of a beautiful cake made of scrumptious pain and exquisite suffering
This being said, sorry for the longass rant, I won't promise it won't happen again. Byee~
