#im getting biased by spns metatron in this lmao

[nikkashidashipper]

so. i saw the second season again. and im getting increasingly more and more convinced that metatron is the culprit in everything going to hell at the end of ep6

im not saying the two dont have a communication issue (if you pay attention to it then its obnoxiously obvious that my god! they really just dont tell each other shit)

but metatron has these moments in the episode where

- he talks about "a prince of heaven" being cast out and how it makes a good story

- he was present during gabriels (attempted) memory wipe

- he looks Very pointedly at crowley when he sees him while standing in line in front of the coffee shop

- the condescending tone he addresses crowley with when asking him if he knows him (i mean crowley is still a demon but idk it still stuck with me)

- the Look over his shoulder he gives crowley when walking out with aziraphale (bad omens. this is the bad omens now)

- the whole coffee business (could be a number of things - poison, to gain aziraphales trust, a prop, list could go on)

- how the first (and only, really) thing metatron did was locate crowley, get aziraphale to talk to him and separate the two..

- ..and subsequently very subtly pit them against each other basically

- he said that "gabriel hadnt worked out" which could be nothing but is just suspicious given the way heaven is well. a cult in which you wont really "work" if you start thinking for yourself

- the "go on, go tell your friend the good news"

- he encourages aziraphales decision, says that crowley "always did want to go his own way"

- he does Not give any room to aziraphale for him to change his mind

- he says to aziraphale that he needs "an angel of his talents" and someone who "knows how they do things on earth" on the way to the lift (again. bad omens. unwell omens)

+ it still bothers me how none of the angels present, michael or uriel or sahaquiel, or aziraphale (he spoke to him in s1? maybe he just didnt speak up because he wasnt asked? idk) recognised metatron. only crowley knows/remembers metatron and metatron seems to be Keenly aware of crowley

tldr i should have put at the beginning is that right now im gonna go with the theory that metatron (more or less solely) wanted to separate crowley and aziraphale because one) they are too powerful together and he doesnt want them to fully figure that out, and/or two) wants to manipulate and use aziraphale for the "second coming" plan, whatever that is, and/or three) hes a cunt looking for an interesting and exciting story for his own amusement
