the bit that gets me is "you can't leave this bookshop" as if crowley hadn't asked aziraphale to run away with him on two three occasions, to leave the bookshop, on crowley's terms doing what crowley believes to be the right thing
i get it he means 'the bookshop' as a metaphor for him, for leaving crowley, because there's no way crowley is ever going back to heaven and aziraphale was naive to even think he would
but the resolute way he refuses to hear aziraphale wanting to be with him, but this time on aziraphale's terms, doing what aziraphale believes to be the right thing, he immediately takes that as rejection and rejects aziraphale in kind
sometimes i don't think crowley realises that - possibly through no fault of his own - he's actually not as different from heaven as he might like to think he is
sometimes it feels like lewis has a degree of distance from the rest of the grid that makes it hard to connect to him (i, a newer fan, took a while to even get a proper sense of his vibes). he’s such a legend and icon in the sport there’s always a little bit of separation i think — maybe subconsciously for some of the older drivers, but i think it’s more prevalent in the younger drivers because so many of them actually idolized him for years and are suddenly racing with him. max may be getting there but he also grew up with most of the grid, and he has his funky little hobbies (twitch streaming sim races) that give fans a glimpse of him casually. i’m not sure why lewis doesn’t participate in grill the grid/f1 videos but when you think about it that’s how a lot of people get some more casual impressions of the drivers they don’t follow as closely (or at all), and then he’s not there. there’s just this air of legendary about him so when you see him standing alone it seems intentional, in a way. he is always standing on his own as a leader in many (metaphorical) ways so i can understand why the drivers might see him minding his business during the parade and think he wants the space.
anyway all this to say there is a special kind of happiness in seeing charles decide to break through the wall of godliness to keep lewis company and bring him back to their level. lewis seems so much more engaged and lively and mortal when he’s happy chatting with the other drivers and being a bit mischievous and it’s like oh, i’m finally seeing the lewis hamilton he was before the myth and fame and weight of leadership. i think he’s really going to seem like a whole new person next season with charles and ferrari for those of us who didn’t know that lewis and i really really like the idea of getting to meet him ❤️
