Something About Aziraphale Going From Come On, Youre A Little Bit On Our Side And Meaning Heaven To I

Something about Aziraphale going from “Come on, you’re a little bit on our side” and meaning Heaven to “I don’t think my side would like that” and Crowley going from “[I’m on] my side” to “We’re on our own side” and meaning himself and Aziraphale. Something about Aziraphale gaining independence from Heaven and learning to trust himself, and something about Crowley relying on Aziraphale and learning to trust someone else than just himself. Something about them slowly transforming the understanding of sides to become centered around each other rather than Heaven and Hell. Something about an Us. You know

“As a child I paid very little attention to authors’ names; they were irrelevant; I did not believe in authors. To be perfectly candid, this is still true. I do not believe in authors. A book exists, it’s there. The author isn’t there — some grown-up you never met — may even be dead. The book is what is real. You read it, you and it form a relationship, perhaps a trivial one, perhaps a deep and lasting one. As you read it word by word and page by page, you participate in its creation, just as a cellist playing a Bach suite participates, note by note, in the creation, the coming-to-be, the existence, of the music. And, as you read and reread, the book of course participates in the creation of you, your thoughts and feelings, the size and temper of your soul. Where, in all this, does the author come in? Like the God of the eighteenth-century deists, only at the beginning. Long ago, before you and the book met each other. The author’s work is done, complete; the ongoing work, the present act of creation, is a collaboration by the words that stand on the page and the eyes that read them.”

- Ursula K. Le Guin, from “Books Remembered,” Children’s Book Council Calendar xxxvi:2 (November 1977)

I've noticed that people have started spreading the 1992 Good Omens script around. Please don't. If you've got it up, please take it down. There's a mess of serious and real legalities involved, and I don't want to have to start being a dick and asking for copyright takedowns and all of that, and I don't want to have to regret letting it out into the world. Just take it down, unshare, delete links. Thank you.
