Sometimes Good Omens fans drive me insane. But in a weirdly good way? The majority of you are frustrated with Aziraphale and Crowley, lamenting that they don't just talk to each other. And here's the thing.... Crowley flat out said "we've been talking for millions of years!"
I'd say the majority of GO fans are LGBTQIA+. You don't understand your own queer history. In many ways that is a gift! You haven't experienced the fear, the lectures, the laws that kept you from your loved one or forced you to pretend to be just friends. And don't get me wrong I'm GLAD that you haven't had to experience that!
But I did.
And people farther back than me had worse. CURRENTLY, 12 countries STILL carry the death penalty for sodomy (that's gay sex between males if you didn't know)
Obviously I wasn't born back then. And I'm female shaped, so me and my (mostly) feminine partner were the butt of jokes, and we're outcast, sneered st, followed around, and a lot of guys fetishized us. Publicly
In Good Omens, Crowley and Aziraphale are obviously meant to represent two gay men. (They represent a lot of things but I'm focusing on the gay part) It is ILLEGAL to be companionable! If they "accidentally" bumped into each other during their work, they were expected to AT LEAST act hatefully towards each other.
Harsh reminder that the show told us multiple times that Heaven and Hell could hear their conversations! See Aziraphale saying that Crowley has done 'a good deed indeed' followed by Crowley being yanked to Hell immediately! And when we saw him next he was leaning on a cane and barely moved!
They aren't idiots, they KNOW they are in love, they know that they are loved by the other.
They are avoiding the death penalty! They "quit" their respective jobs as spectacularly as they could, HOPING their Offices would not come for them out of fear of what they would do; a demon and angel who cannot be destroyed by holy water and hellfire.
The Metatron arrived and told Aziraphale to heel. The angel cannot refuse! ESPECIALLY when Crowley is threatened. Metatron said it in a mild way but he absolutely told the Angel that Crowley would be destroyed if Aziraphale didn't comply.
Beelzebub yoinked Crowley back down to Hell with ease. Offered him a high position DESPITE him flagrantly quitting Hell and demonic acts. Beelzebub ASSUMED Crowley would 'rejoin their team'!
Aziraphale went to Heaven, to change the laws and live happily - as a male in love and having sex with another male - without fear of punishment or hindrance.
