Can’t spend my time making something for everyone
This was supposed to be fun

Have we appreciated yet how inevitable the breakup really was? The truth is, whether the metatrash orchestrated it or to what extent he did, Aziraphale going back to Heaven and Crowley refusing to go back to Heaven was the only way that situation could have played out. The minute the metatrash offered Aziraphale the chance to right the wrong of Crowley's Fall, it was over. Offering Aziraphale the supreme archangel gig was just insurance.
Aziraphale was always going to want to redeem Crowley because he doesn't (yet) understand the Fall, what it cost Crowley, what it's actually done for Crowley, and how Crowley was fundamentally changed by it. Aziraphale does not yet know what Crowley knows of Heaven - and Aziraphale can't have known it yet. But he will, and this breakup is how he gets the opportunity to learn what he needs to learn to finally, finally understand what it means for him and Crowley to be on their own side.
And Crowley,who would follow Aziraphale anywhere and do anything for him? He cannot follow him back to Heaven, he cannot pretend to "be an angel" again for Aziraphale, because it is literally impossible. Crowley can't undo the millennia of growth he's undergone, he can't be un-cast out of the fold, he can't be un-unwanted by God and he can't be un-unloved. That's his lived experience of being fallen and nothing could change that for him.
There's no world where Crowley accepts the offer, and there's no world where Aziraphale refuses it. Not with them as they are right now together and separately in their arcs. And maybe that's part of why it's so painful to watch and dissect, because they hurt each other so badly and they don't want to, but it's actually inescapable. They're in a trap that they can't see until it springs. Snap. The elevator closes.
I love the part in Good Omens when Crowley hits Anathema with his car and then Aziraphale is trying to be helpful and Anathema is like “uh oh two weird dudes” then Crowley calls Aziraphale “angel” and she thinks “oh good, they’re just gay”
Crowley can speak every language on Earth but he is most fluent in the language of sass and tomfoolery
ok so. who has been on here (tumblr) for an entire decade of their life?
10 years +
7-9 years
4-6 years
1-3 years
less than a year
less than a month
So this is a visual representation of “are the new users you’re changing the entire app and website layout/features for in the room with us right now”.
Obsessed with the fact that Crowley is always careful to say “for Satan’s sake” or “where the Heaven” or “for Hell’s sake” rather than anything that might show deference to Heaven, BUT when Aziraphale starts to reject him at the end of episode 6, he’s so distraught that he slips up and says “oh God.”
And by “obsessed,” I mean I’m going to jump out a window

My husband found it necessary to get the thing for me and I love it.
Be sure to remember Sad™’s birthday next August.
