I Absolutely Adore That Niko Sasaki's Contribution To The Dead Boy Detective Agency Isn't Any Kind Of

I absolutely adore that Niko Sasaki's contribution to the Dead Boy Detective Agency isn't any kind of special powers she could've gotten from being possessed by parasitic little gods, but rather it's just her— with her innate curiosity and kindness, her love of love, and the earnestness and sincerity in which she says or does something.... ooooh I love her so much my best girl !!!!

not edwin realising his suppressed homosexuality and super intense feelings for his best friend of 30 years because a cat flirted with him and then a crow kissed him

OH SHIT

THAT WAS BECAUSE OF TRAUMA. BECAUSE OF THE SPIDER MADE OF DOLLS-

Confused about those Crowley will become Lord of Hell in s3 takes. What exactly would be the point of that? So Aziraphale would look better? Is it that Crowley would be "the bad guy" and the Supreme Archangel Aziraphale could "redeem" them with the power of their "love"? Heartbreak would make Crowley evil? (that would ruin Crowley´s character forever) Crowley has canonically said things like heaven and hell are both toxic, they don´t need them. Besides, Hell already has a new Lord, Shax.

Anon, I think you're spot on with your possible explanations—it's all of them and more.

If Crowley were to willingly become the Prince of Hell then they'd use that to make it seem as if Aziraphale did nothing wrong, and then probably pain Crowley as the "more evil" one because he's a demon and in hell. For a fandom of a satirical comedy show there sure is a lot of people that don't seem to grasp the main messages its conveying.

Fun fact, people are already doing that.

It is a persistent headcanon (that way too many have turned into pseudo-canon when it's not true at all) that Crowley cannot feel love and that that's a bad thing, that he needs to be "fixed". And you can take one wild guess who is supposed to fix him with the "power of love" and make him "normal".

Outside of already being disgusting and fucked up, it also plays directly into the transphobic treatment of the Starmaker/Crowley trans allegory.

Aziraphale can fix him and can never do anything wrong. He can make him an angel again because being a demon is bad and angels are always right, he can make him "love" him because everyone who doesn't love in the exact way society tells you to is ALSO automatically evil and bad.

Defining your own identity and living a life for yourself? No, what a laughable idea—you need to follow someone else's rules and make yourself more palatable so they never have to question their own actions or challenge their convictions.

Crowley would never go back to hell unless it was the only way to save the universe, and even then he'd hate every single minute of it, but the people worshipping Supreme Asshole Aziraphale don't have to critical thinking skills to arrive at that conclusion.

I’m obsessed with their outfits

ever think about how Edwin was bringing that lantern over to a dying Charles without knowing he could see him. he'd just recently escaped hell and yet he saw a boy bullied and shivering, and his first response was to try and help even with zero recognition. to try and stop what happened to him in that very same place from happening all over again. and then when Charles does see him, that realisation that it was already too late. that Edwin had been through hell and back, gone for decades and returned to the very thing he'd left to. how hopeless that must have felt and yet he kept it a secret, read Charles stories, kept him company until Charles did die because he didn't want to scare him.
