damn we really don't think enough about the major world events that crowley and aziraphale have witnessed on both ends. all the horrible things like wars, discrimination, natural disasters, genocide, etc. yes but also all the good: liberation, major political reforms, the invention of new genres and materials and technology and fields of study.
like oh my god. they were there for all the centuries that women had no rights at all and then they got to witness the suffragettes, the women writers and royals and inventors and activists. they got to witness the overturning of anti-lgbtq and racial segregation laws and the celebration of human rights and identities. they were there to witness international tragedies but also the solidarity from everyone all over the world rallying for peace for people they don't even know. they got to see humans create new forms of art and fashion and the printing press and electricity and poetry and and and coloured television and music and they got to see humans constantly find new ways to find connection and love and fun and passion and their own forms of expression.
like imagine being there for everything. how could you not love the world after seeing the fall and rise of humanity over and over again in every way shape and form for six thousand years. holy shit

Can't cope with the details...
Just small observation with this scene.
Aziraphale brings his hand down - drawing power from heaven (Up)
Crowley brings his hand up - drawing power from hell (Down)
AND it's like they balance and meet in the middle.
Not really sure what to do with this but this is what happens when fanbys make fan shows for fan people....

You know, in fairness to Aziraphale and Crowley...
...since we’ve all been having a laugh about ineffable bureaucracy becoming canon so quickly: not only did Gabriel and Beelzebub have the authority to say “fuck you” to whomever tried to stop them, they also had the excruciating experience of watching two idiots on Earth dance around each other for 6,000 years, barely able to call each other friends (let alone say the “L” word to each other) by the end of it. I’m fairly certain they looked at each other and said right, whatever Aziraphale and Crowley are doing, let’s NOT do that.

I’m sorry, not to be super negative, but a “bridge” between s1 and 3? S2 was intentionally pointless filler? Like I get the three-act structure, but Jesus if you (Gaiman) can’t come up with a feasible way to tie what is supposedly the sequel plot to the existing canon, maybe he just isn’t that good of a writer!! (I’ve only read gomens and American gods, and American gods was………………… a slog. I never bothered with the show despite the phenomenal cast) Like season 2 was unfathomably bad, and I just can’t see Terry setting up a sequel that would require SIX EPISODES of filler to cover in order to get to the next part of the plot. S1 shouldn’t have happened but it did. S2 just straight shouldn’t exist and tbh I hope s3 is cancelled because I think it’d be really funny if NG was so up his ass with fan service that he fucks his chance to write a “sequel”
This. And I don't think we would be this angry had it all been "pointless filler" (imagine if we got 6 episodes worth of the S1 ep3 cold opening 😂 I probably would have been like "...okay? Cool I guess!" had it all been in-character, with no progression of the plot); I've talked about how it changed the characters irreparably in several past asks. I'm not gonna insult all of Neil Gaiman's writing because this because I've genuinely enjoyed some of his work, but like I said in a previous ask, a piece of media should be able to be good on its own without any context or explanation. And that's exactly it -- WHAT IF season 3 never gets written? Season 2 would just be left on its own, sucking til the end of time. Why make something bad that cannot stand by itself just because you hope a sequel gets made? Why not make something good from the get-go if you can?

It’s the way Crowley’s voice breaks, how he can’t bring himself to finish the phrase. That’s it for me. There was a lot I didn’t like about s2, but god this moment...this moment is so absolutely fantastic and electrifying it makes the whole inconsistent mess of the season worth it. Just to watch David Tennant deliver those lines, like that. And he acts with his whole body too, he looks physically sick as he tries to force the words out. God the entire rest of the season could be truly unwatchable (it wasn’t, but the point stands) and it would still be worth it just to get that minute and a half monologue on screen. I’ve watched it over and over. I’m shaking.
