-1500s england-

withfinder general: any last words, witch?

aziraphale, tied to the stake: this is all a misunderstanding

witchfinder general: *lights the stake*

aziraphale, extinguishes the flames via miracle: oh, dear. won't someone come to my aid

witchfinder general: shut up witch *lights the stake again*

aziraphale, extinguishes the flames via miracle: *louder* I am in Trouble here!

witchfinder general: what is this witchcraft? *lights the stake again*

aziraphale, extinguishes the flames via miracle, bored: any moment now...

crowley, hurrying over, breathless: witchfinder general. you have to leave. you house is on fire

witchfinder, confused: who are you? what is-

crowley, snaps his fingers: you go away and not bother anymore innocent women

witchfinder general: *obediently wanders off*

crowley: *miracles aziraphale free and helps her off the stake*

aziraphale, pouting: you took your time

crowley, sighs: I got lost

aziraphale, smiles: well, it doesn't matter. you rescued me *holds his hand* my brave hero

crowley: *pleased*

Who I’d Be

[Part 1/6]

Once upon a time, after a long night of rich, dark wine and untouched cupperties, the angel Muriel asks Mr. Crowley what he thinks he might have liked to be, if he weren’t a demon.

And no, dear readers, the answer is neither angel nor aardvark.

as the tumblr's resident snuffy expert I have to ask you what you think snuffy and lorenzo's actual legal relationship is (like did he take on the role of his guardian or is he technically more of a sponsor) and furthermore what you think their dynamic is like behind the scenes. like even if you accept the idea that snuffy is more of a father figure to lorenzo than an employer there's no way that this guy who was a homeless orphan until he was a teenager and the man who took him in *on the basis that he be athletically successful* have like. a normal unremarkable parent-child dynamic

Thanks for the question, sorry about the yapping

I'm torn on how to answer the legal relationship question. To me, it depends on how old you think Lorenzo is during the flashback. I always thought he was around 15-16, so I rarely consider an option where Snuffy isn't his legal guardian. However I could see some PIFA fuckery involved to avoid any legal trouble in the case he didn't have a legal guardian involved before becoming an adult legally.

Even then the process for getting gold teeth takes more than one day (all the visits you need to get your teeth properly checked for the procedure, the healing process takes months and more visits, etc) and he was near death so I'd like to think he was taken care/supervised of by Snuffy during that time (which is why Lorenzo's so attached to him). (the amount of care is up to interpretation bc it's hc territory anyway)

After that, when Lorenzo started playing football, *then* it's more of a sponsor/employer/advisor?/mentor? situation that occasionally bleeds into guardian-adopteé territory but never completely. I think they had something similar to how Ray Dark ended up dropping Kaiser at the BM dorms, except I think Snuffy directly had a hand in training/teaching Lorenzo before and still kept somewhat in contact during. I also like to think he got him a tutor or something, but this is more so I can sleep well at night. Snuffy IS the "what will you do when football's no longer an option" guy anyway so it's not unrealistic.

I need to add somewhere in this post that I believe/know in my heart that Snuffy picking up Lorenzo happened a bit after Mick died (months, maybe a year max) and specifically because of it. Comparing dead Mick & almost dying Lorenzo was super common when ch. 229 came out so I won't elaborate much on it, I just wanted to mention it.

Dynamics wise... There's too much going on for them to be in a normal boss and employee situation, Snuffy isn't fazed by Lorenzo's antics at all, Lorenzo goes up to Barou* to convince him to succeed Snuffy while also bringing up Snuffy's promise to Mick and also just everything about Lorenzo's reaction to Snuffy going back on his retirement, he literally told Barou he loved him & offered him a gold tooth. I don't think he says that to anyone yknow

*and by the way this interaction always stands out to me, since the timeline of events is not clear at all. all bc the fucking blue lock building is built like a prison and idk what time it is. I think Snuffy&Barou´s conversation happened at least some hours or a day after the Ubers introduction bit. During Lorenzo's backstory dump they're wearing pajamas but then Snuffy tells them it's time to train, so I assume it's the morning after that. Anyway I wonder if Snuffy just told him about it or if he directly asked him to talk to Barou. I feel like it's the former (given their reactions to Barou accepting Snuffy's deal) but the setup kinda makes it feel like the latter. whatever it was I think it's evidence for me to say that Snuffy trusts Lorenzo.

And I feel like there's nothing direct I can point to to say they're close enough to have a regular parent and child relationship. Still I feel like just by having Lorenzo be a NG11 and the fact that he enjoys football and doesn't scream cry and throw up when he loses or when he is inconvenienced (THE BAR IS ON HELL) makes me think Snuffy is mostly a positive influence on him. I like to think Snuffy does care a lot about him but he's the type of guy that shows it by meddling (kinda like Reo or younger Sae (who wasn't much of a meddler iirc. this makes sense in my mind)) and just isn't that visibly affectionate with anyone anymore.

More about the father and son thing. This is also headcanon territory I'm sorry. I don't think they, like, go out fishing as a bonding thing or anything like that. but I do think they don't go a week w/out talking bc I think Snuffy's a bit neurotic about how the people he cares about are doing because of reasons and Lorenzo loves talking people's ears off about everything and nothing. I think Lorenzo tried giving him an expensive gift with one of his first paychecks and mentioned "paying back his debt bit by bit" as a joke that wasn't really a joke and Snuffy's face twisted & he said something along the lines of Lorenzo not owing him anything and it was awkward between them for a while after that. I think its fucking WEIRD but they care abt each other and that's what matters

TL;DR: I think there had to be a point where Snuffy was his legal guardian or at least acted like it to some degree. In regards to their dynamic behind the scenes, that is not a father that is a grieving tutor-guardian-mentor-advisor-employer-professional football player and his renowned domesticated possum employee/adopteé who is soooooooo normal about worth.

S1e6 'you can stay at my place if you like' vs s2 Crowley not even telling Aziraphale he lives in his car. what the fuck happened between these two moments? well, Crowley (in Aziraphale's body) went to heaven and got traumatized by Gabriel and was probably scared shitless that they would harm Aziraphale if they would literally be living together

[frosty-tian]

Can only make messy pen doodles at work at the moment, but wanted to show appreciation in some way for all the love y’all have been giving/given Oaken!

Honestly wasn’t expecting people to like him for various reasons, so it does mean a lot to me that some are so enthusiastic about him!

Once again, thank y’all so so much!!

"But rescuing me makes him so happy 😊" what if I swallow an entire brick wall whole

[p4nishers]

can we talk about how protective crowley was this season? "your former boss, who tried very hard to cast you into hellfire and DESTROY you. he's NOT our friend". getting SO angry that he actually shot LIGHTING FROM HIS BODY at the thought that aziraphale would be in danger bc of gabriel. being suddenly interested in what beelzebub had to say when they mentioned whoever hid gabriel would be in danger. willing to be erased from the book of life for helping aziraphale cause they weren't just about to leave him on his own. "no no no aziraphale what have you done". after learning that az is in danger, immediately going to apologize and help him and even doing a miracle to hide jim despite the trouble she could be in with hell. IMMEDIATELY jumping on the idea of making nina fall for maggie to protect aziraphale and keep his lie safe. "if any harm comes to aziraphale because of this i will–". "i do remember, oh very clearly, the look on your face, archangel gabriel, when you told my only friend to shut his stupid mouth and DIE. and i did. not. care. for. it." "i'm coming back, i won't leave you here on your own". actually going to HEAVEN for aziraphale. like, she really did go all out, cards on the table, heart on the sleeve this season, huh?

[anunavoidabledichotomy]

"Just miracle it away"

"Yes but I'll still know the stain is there"

*completely smitten as Crowley miracles it away, because that's different apparently* "thank you."

[crownlessam]

aziraphale, sitting around in manmade shackles awaiting his beheading for an unknown period of time while wearing head to toe haute couture, putting on his very best damsel in distress routine, proceeding to lie his holy ass off about not knowing it was the height of the french revolution and i can’t possibly save myself too many frivolous miracles woe is me. all of this just so he could invite crowley out on a lunch date for authentic crêpes and immediately perform a said frivolous miracle to change clothes.

[joefangs]

This is a classic, "Come rescue me" look from our dearest angel. Whereas, Crowley's (our beloved demon) like- "Coming sweety".

“No. Certainly not. I have no idea what that feels like.”

[crowleys-bentley-and-plants]

Maybe the reason Crowley didn't tell Aziraphale about Heaven's plans during the confession is because when Aziraphale told Crowley about God's plans it sparked the whole 'why not put a suggestion box' conversation and it was ultimately the reason he fell. he didn't want Aziraphale to fall too so he didn't say anything even though it tore them apart, because if he told Aziraphale, it maybe wouldn't tear them apart, but he would condemn Aziraphale to a life as a demon and we all know how much Crowley hates that, and how much Aziraphale would hate that 'you wouldn't like that'. what if Crowley was trying to save Aziraphale all along
