It Surprised Me That I've Never Seen This Theory Anywhere, BUT-

It surprised me that I've never seen this theory anywhere, BUT-

Let me quote God in S1 E1, right in the beginning: "It starts, as it will end, with a garden. In this case, the Garden of Eden."

WHAT IF, at the end of GO S3, in the very last scene, we will see Azi and Crowley together in a garden again? It is not Eden, but God implied it'd end with a garden. Their own garden in a nice cottage in which they'll spend the rest of their lives? A sort-of new paradise? We can only speculate, but just imagine them standing together in a garden, like in the beginning, but now with millenia worth of shared memories, pain, struggles, love,... Imagine God narrating the very last scene like the very first. Imagine God recapping about their history, and talking about how they will finally, freely and in peace, be able to spend the rest of their lives together. In the beginning, the Garden of Eden was the paradise of Adam and Eve, in the end, the new garden may be the paradise that is the rest of Aziracrow's finally happy, immortal life together.

ALSO; waiting for 1650 for the reveal of the reason for the very first apology dance!!

Just now realised that since "This is a new jacket, and I'd hate to ruin it. Do you mind if I take it off?" wasn't Crowley speaking, it means Azi wants to save the jacket because he loves how it looks on Crowley. And that he knows Crowley's whole wardrobe by heart. And that he wants to undress Crowley since he's most likely never seen him even remotely naked.

"Miracles don't work like that."

Okay, hear me out... I have another theory.

In case you don't remember, basically Aziraphale lied to heaven about having miracled Nina to fall in love with Maggie, they're sending someone to confirm it, Aziracrow has to make her fall for Maggie, Crowley suggests Aziraphale should just miracle her to fall in love with Maggie, Aziraphale says that miracles wouldn't work like that.

Since Crowley—as a former angel—didn't know that feelings of love can't be miracled up (hence Aziraphale pointing it out to him), and since the other angels didn't know it either, as they just "sent someone to check" (if they knew it wasn't possible, they wouldn't have considered the possibility of Aziraphale telling the truth and sent someone to check in the first place), I think it is safe to conclude that it is not known to angels—neither fallen sauntered-vaguely-downwards nor active angels—whether it is possible to miracle up feelings of love. Therefore, Aziraphale must have tried it himself before to find out and gain that knowledge. Sure, he may have already tried to make others fall in love before in history, but if you ask me, he definitely tried with Crowley.

(or he didn't because he believed Crowley and he would end up together anyway and should do so in a natural, honest way, which would make it hella romantic and kinda sad now with the ending of S2 because they haven't ended up together (yet))

When you're autistic, it's impossible to miss how much society normalizes child abuse.

I could dedicate my entire life to studying how to interact with people and I'd still never master the social skills that young children are expected to have on command.

Say the wrong thing? That's disrespectful and you're punished. And you don't even have to actually say anything wrong. Pretty much anything you say can be considered "giving lip" if your parent wants some excuse to punish you. But if you say nothing, then you get punished for ignoring. You also have to calculate your response to their mind game quickly because taking too long to respond is considered ignoring. Also, if you're being wrongly accused of something, saying nothing is considered a confession. And even if you somehow manage to say exactly what your parent wants in exactly the correct tone, they'll still punish you for "sarcasm" or "not really meaning it".

Only problem: I'm only a writer if I get my shit together and actually write down what I daydream about 25/8 🥲 Y'all better bet I put "creative hallucinator" on my next resume 🥲 Probably adding "with procrastination issues"

But then again not actually writing is probably 70% of the job description of being a writer sooo...

❝ I wish I could say fanfic writing as a part of my special skills while applying for a job ❞ and what if I say you actually can? because writing fanfic can actually be used as a part of your special skills while applying for a job and it is valid. writing is writing. literally the only thing differentiate fanfic writers from writers who publish and sell original works is that fanfic writers can’t publish and sell their works. that’s all. that’s the only difference. don’t let anyone tell you “fanfic writers aren’t real writers because their works aren’t as good as those of writers who write and sell original works” because that’s utter bullshit. I’ve read so many well written fanfics that are so much better than some published original novels. (here’s the proof.)

wanna know the trick? if you don’t think you’re gonna be taken seriously if you say you write fanfics while in a job interview, then say creative writing. because writing fanfics is considered creative writing. it is creative writing.

fanfic writers can write novel-length fiction, fanfic writers can write as good as any other writers who write original works if not better. fanfic writers are writers and they are just as valid.

you, a fanfic writer, may even be more dedicated and passionate than writers who sell original works because, while they write because it’s their job, you literally write 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 free 👏🏻 out 👏🏻 of 👏🏻 pure 👏🏻 love 👏🏻 and 👏🏻 passion.

that’s a whole novel and you wrote that with pure love and passion. that’s pretty mind blowing.

so yes, you absolutely can and should say creative writing while applying for a job, and say it proudly. you are a writer.
