Breaking point

i’m sooooo here i’m such a whore for him here no wonder crowley was like “uhhh i didn’t want to see you embarassed” no baby you wanted to see aziraphale in this slutty well-tailored coat and that sexy little hat. and you wanted to see him sooooo bad that you strutted your way down a church aisle like the wannabe bride you are and singed your feet in the process. totally normal behavior

Mr Anthony J. “I didn’t so much fall as sauntered vaguely downwards” Crowley. Mr Anthony Janthony “Look here, it's Lucifer and the guys” Crowley. Mr Anthony Jennifer “I wouldn’t worry though, how much trouble can I get into just for asking a few questions?” Crowley.

Seriously though, can we talk about how from the start Crowley had more hope for and faith in Heaven than Aziraphale ever did. The first time we see Aziraphale his naïveté has an air of touchy pragmatism to it already. While Crowley in fact had so much hope, he wouldn’t have imagined that questioning anything about Heaven could get him in trouble. Aziraphale knows. From the start Aziraphale knew and was doing a lot of heavy lifting to justify it to himself. But Crowley’s pure faith and hope made him admit it (almost), it always made him face the hypocrisy in heaven and subsequently himself…

Guys. Let's talk about the Eccles cakes. Shall we?

When Crowley orders six shots of espresso, Aziraphale considerately asks for something that "calms people down". Nina then suggests him to get Eccles cakes.

Now the word, "Eccles" originally means "The church". It foreshadowed the season finale where Aziraphale asks Crowley to join heaven. It is a callback to Crowley being the (sauntered-vaguely-downwards) fallen angel. Crowley was given a choice to join heaven again. To eat the Eccles cake. But he doesn't. He doesn't want to be calmed down and hushed. He has found his voice, his own side. He knows the truth about Heaven and Hell and God.

The Eccles cake is also called the "squashed fly cake' because the inside is filled with black currants. This could be a metaphor for hell. How Crowley was also asked back to hell and he said no.

Aziraphale ordering Eccles cakes shows the inner struggle that he is facing. He cares for Crowley. He wants to be there for him. But at the same time, he believes whole heartedly in heaven. He still thinks of God's plan as ineffable. As indubitable. He believes that Crowley and he will be happier in Heaven. He fails to see that even if heaven seems to be the side of "truth and light", on the inside it's all squashed flies. It's just as bad as hell. That when heaven ends life on earth it will be just as dead as hell ended it.

WE COULD HAVE BEEN... US.

There is something extraordinarily intimate about touching someone while not even looking at them. It says:

- I know exactly where you are in reference to me, I don’t even have to look when reaching for you.

- I’m so confident in our relationship I know exactly how you’ll react when I touch you, I don’t have to look and gauge your reaction at all.

- I can interact with you while giving only part of my attention to you, I trust you completely.

- If I’m giving a large portion of my attention elsewhere, I still need to somehow feel connected to you.

Oh, Aziraphale, I love your brain…

So these two that he brings up, thinking they’re Crowley…

Interesting!!!!!

did anyone order matching breakup paintings?

When looking back over Crowley's looks in the first series, going from Mesopotamia to Golgotha doesn't seem that much of a difference considering the amount of time between them....beyond the obvious gender presentation...they both look almost identical...

But when you take season 2 into account with the minisodes...I kind of only really just registered that this wonderous creature is in between them...

And honestly I kinda love it...

Can I get a Woo-hoo?

Crowley's duck fixation has gone too far

After months of art block I decided to draw again, tempted by ineffable husbands, especially Crowley who makes me want to lick the walls of hell
