Some soft, happy stuff to make up for drawing Hikaru miserable. They've been apart long enough it's time for the closest, cuddliest hug ever ☝️

Me, who’s never been interested in whump before, after I watch a pastel twink get tortured while he begs for the player to stop:

we need to talk about how close aziraphale actually was to saying no to the metatron after the kiss and why:

he's extremely conflicted and keeps looking out of the window to crowley in the car.

he previously said "nothing last forever" when crowley told him that he cant leave the bookshop (crowley also meant "you cant leave me"; the bookshop is a metaphor for their lives on earth for him) and he states exactly this as the first objection here. obviously the metatron shuts it down by appointing muriel as the next owner of the shop.

now he's stuck between wanting to be with the being he loves & who he now knows loves him back and his deep inner need/duty to do good. crowley's confession and kiss clearly made him question his decision and change his mind because here is when he actually decides for both.

you can see how he does not want to join heaven alone. he keeps looking out the window when asked if he needs anything to take with him.

he desperately needs crowley there but he can not have him so he lies and says no.

i this moment he tries to say no to heaven one last time. he starts saying "i think i-" and then looks out to crowley one last time. he's really considering crowleys offer here. i think the decision that he makes instead is actually FOR crowley as well.

he decides to join heaven not as he was previously convinced by the metatron to do good and rule together with crowley (which he did not want to do) but instead to go and keep a close eye on heaven FOR crowley.

aziraphale isnt stupid, he remembers what crowley said about heaven being toxic.

i think the confession and kiss makes him question heaven. crowley, who fell for asking questions made aziraphale question heaven too. something that he was always too scared to do. he has started to rebel in his head. he realised that something has to be up with heaven/the metatron bc they offered him the position. he decided to go but with a completely different purpose than before. 

he puts on a smile and it seems fake because it is. he wants to appear like he hasn't just fundamentally changed his position and decided to go against the one force who he was always afraid of yet dependent on. 

this is sth extremely relatable to someone who is queer and autistic and was raised by very conservative family members. even the thought of supporting queer people felt rebellious, terrifying but also extremely exiting and powerful because i knew it was the right thing to believe. 

aziraphale was being so brave here. he saw a glimpse of the life he wants and can have and choose to join heaven anyway to fight for this life. he is convinced it will not be possible for them to be together if heaven is still kicking about and making him feel powerless and scared. he wants to secure their future by changing or possibly even destroying the system from the inside out. 

unfortunately he didn't have time to tell crowley about his change of intention and i think it really breaks his heart. crowley would probably not understand it anyway. they still have a lot to work through and learn but ultimately they will find each other again. they always do.

i am so so interested to see where and how they meet again in s3, if we get it. after everything i just really want them to be happy and to spend their eternity together. they deserve it after all they went through.

I think the most irritating thing about darkshippers is their claim that it’s “just fiction” and I remember seeing a TikTok where the proshipper said that fictional characters are likes dolls in the sense that you can do whatever you want with them because “no one is actually getting hurt”.

I agree with that…to a point. To me, fictional characters are like dolls, and yeah you can play with them however you like. But how you play these fictional “dolls”, still says a lot about you and your overall mindset. If you’re taking an adult fictional character and making them grooming/raping a child character, especially in a way that depicts as “hot” and/or “cute”,  coping mechanism or not, that’s still extremely concerning. 

It’s not the fact that you’re making that adult character “doll” do that to that child character “doll”, no, there pently of people who also use “dolls” as a way to coping with their trauma, and feel less alone, but the problem arises when you start romanticising/sexualising those traumatic experiences, actively shipping abusers/rapists with their victims, in an idealised manner.

A lot of people seem to forget that sites like tumblr and TikTok ARE public spaces! If you were to actually take some dolls to an irl public place, and reenact the thing darkshippers post about online, someone is going to say something! You’re going to get criticism because you’re depicting other people’s trauma in a way that minimises the damage those kinds of things do to actual victims.

Being a victim yourself doesn’t excuse that. No amount of “it’s just fiction, no is actually getting g hurt”, “it’s a coping mechanism” and “you’re just pro censorship” is going to shield you from the fact that what you’re doing is, in fact, affecting others, negatively or otherwise, especially when you post it somewhere for anyone and everyone to see, children and adults alike! Group chats and DMs exist, fucking use them!
