So usually when an imaginary friend is a real thing in a story, it’s either a demon or a ghost or some supernatural boogeyman that probably wants to eat the kid they’ve befriended (Mama, a couple of the Paranormal Activity movies), or “imaginary friends” are just treated as a real thing in the setting, and if a child just thinks hard enough they can manifest a friend into existence (Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Happy).
And somewhere in the middle is an area where the imaginary friend in question is real and they are supernatural, but they aren’t malevolent, and they aren’t entirely honest about what they are. Like maybe they’re a fairy or a god or some kind of boggle from mythology, but they just got caught by a six year old and they don’t have time to get into it, so they just go “…Yes. I’m your imaginary friend. We haven’t met. How do you do.” And then they stick around because they do love this kid, and if you’re a boggle from mythology in the modern day good food is really hard to come by.
And at some level. That’s what I think Hobbes is.

I will never get over how happy Aziraphale is that Crowley is helping him save the kids in the Job minisode
He really looked Crowley in the eye and dared him "prove to me you're not good" and Crowley said "I will" but he just couldn't do it. He could never kill the goats. He could never kill the kids
Aziraphale's face is the perfect mix of "I told you so" and "you are such a sweetheart"
I have never seen a man gloat more loveling
And Crowley pushes back again - "I'm a demon, I lied" - but Aziraphale still refuses to stop believing in him - "Be not afraid, you're perfectly safe." "Are you sure, angel?" Yes. Quite sure."
Then Crowley harbors them all in the basement to shelter them from the storm and Azirapahale...
He is besotted

P.S. IM NOT FORCING! PLS DO T THINK IM FORCING AHHHHHHHH *PANIC HUG*
The human anatomy really really sucks in this. I just gave up sorry dont look at it for too long
(Jimmy portrayed as Eurasier, a breed that requires lots of love and affection and gets easily depressed when holed up in one space, and is a relative of a dog bred specifically to give people warmth. Martyn is a Jack Russell Terrier, a breed that is often stubborn, mischievous and difficult to train)

they added an enemy in lethal company that looks like a fat butler who innocently sweeps his broom when you're with other people but will stab you with a knife the minute you are alone.
and I saw people saying oh, so he's just British.
