So no one can convince me that on their many visits to St James’s Park, Crowley and Aziraphale were never accosted by a swan.
Because St James’s has swans and swans are dicks, and they will fly at you with the fury of a thousand valkyries and end your entire family just for being in the same post code as them.
Crowley, well he’s used to angry monsters he’d probably just yeet bread into the distance with a ‘yeah yeah’ and deflect said raging beast. And it wouldn’t bother him.
But Aziraphale, despite being the Angel and the righteous one and all, Would Not Abide by this constant interruption. Trying to have a conversation and being hissed at and flapped at and charged up the path by a bloody swan and honestly how rude? Time and time again, and it’s a public park?
Crowley wouldn’t give two shits but eventually after a certain amount of time, Aziraphale would snap and just meet the hellbird head on and let his wings burst out behind him in an Angelic T-Pose of Winged Dominance and the swan would promptly shit itself and dive for cover while he yells smugly: “Yes! I expect so! Not so high and mighty now!”
And Crowley would be looking at him highkey surprised and lowkey turned on flailing wildly at the reams of humans milling about like: are you serious
And a bashful angel performed a lot of memory miracles that day.
Anyway, the swans of St James’s Park during the time of the show were always very well behaved and this is clearly why.
