#slash gen not angry btw just concerned about my favorite gay angel

[daffodily]

i want to be so very clear i will tolerate no hate towards aziraphale because. he may have fucked up and been in the wrong but his choice is very in character and well-intentioned! to be clear if there is not an EXCELLENT apology in s3 before they get together there will be hell to pay but ultimately aziraphale's choice came from a genuine want to fix things and make them right-- he's trying to be selfless in choosing to go back to heaven to change what made him so disillusioned with it in the first place, with or without crowley. he didn't think through or understand the implications of asking crowley to become an angel again, but considering aziraphale's warring interests- the selfish part of him that loves crowley and wants to stay with him being married and happy forever vs. the dutiful angel who loves god and wants to help and nurture humanity, he truly believed he was going to do good. i think aziraphale's journey in s3 is going to be him realizing the inherently corrupt nature of heaven and hell and learning to separate his identity from being an angel and see in shades of grey.

and to be clear i have soooo much sympathy for crowley!! i love him to bits and i was crying so hard for the finale! but i really think the aggressive, angry stuff about az is a little unfair considering the brainwashing and abuse he suffered in heaven and i am confident in neil gaiman's ability to redeem az and allow him to grow <3
