#neil gaiman i love you

[confusedraven1]

The Kiss™️ not being a gesture of Romance makes the acting choices by David and Michael and “I forgive you,” make SO much more sense.

when i first watched the scene, Aziraphale seemed so tense (besides it being heartbreaking and Crowley not being very gentle about it), and I couldn’t figure out why. although he didnt push Crowley away, you can tell by his hands that he feels SO conflicted. he wants it, SO badly, but not like that.

when Crowley finally pulls away, we see SO many emotions cross over Aziraphale’s face (like, god damn Michael same some for the rest of us please)—confusion, heartbreak, empathy, anger. i can almost guarantee Aziraphale had dreamt of that moment for who knows how long and probably even half-planned something incredibly romantic, and now he can’t, and won’t, ever get that moment back. he doesn’t want to forgive Crowley: he’s feeling a lot of different things and it shouldn’t be something he has to forgive, because it should’ve been an act of love. but it wasn’t, so he does.

he almost says “i forgive you,” out of spite, and he even might a little because he knows it’ll hurt Crowley just as much as Crowley hurt him just then, but he also means it cause that’s his nature— he will always forgive Crowley.

remember when zuko betrayed aang/katara/iroh and reverted back to approval seeking behaviors/attitudes at the end of book 2 in ATLA? i feel like that’s exactly what’s happening with aziraphale.

it’s not a bad thing to want approval, to want “forgiveness” and redemption, and he’s done a TON of work trying to stay faithful to the “mission” of his station, despite all of his superiors constantly berating and looking down on him. so of course the first time in the entirety of his existence he’s being offered a chance to Make Decisions and a difference, he finds himself falling back into old habits.

fingers crossed that we get season 3, but, say if we do, aziraphale may have a similar journey zuko had in maturing and understanding that the things you’ve longed for (only cause you’ve been told that’s what you should want) isn’t necessarily what’s best for you. or perhaps you’ve outgrown the confines those things try to force you into.

breaking away from a toxic family is difficult, especially if that’s all you’ve really known. aziraphale made a questionable and heartbreaking decision, but it’s understandable. and he’s always been a stubborn one, so i’m not surprised he didn’t run back to crowley once he realized what the metatron said the “project” was.

this is your sign to get over your Good Omens phase, it’s time to let go

…if you need me I’ll be reciting the whole show word for word in my room

Neil Gaiman: "in season 2 the fan-favorite angel/demon couple will fall in love, overcome great adversity, and eventually defy heaven and hell to run off together to the stars :)"

Fans: "cool! I can't wait, does Aziraphale confess first or does Crowley?'

Neil, holding Gabriel and Beelzebub figures and making them kiss: "Does who do what now?"

What is love?

Well, according to Neil Gaiman...

And I'll just drop this here...

You know, just in case the Good Omens fandom hadn't cried enough today.

Take a second to close your eyes and just relive how absolutely MARVELOUS GOOD OMENS IS

[tardxsblues]

Because you and Mr. Fell don't ever talk to each other. We talk all the time. We've been talking for millions of years. Bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla. I say something brilliant, and he says something unintentionally funny back. It's great. You never say what you're really thinking.
