"Now you live in a secret bunker with an angel and Lucifer’s kid", AKA queering domesticity par excellence

Ah yes, because at this point all of these things are entwined. You cannot have one trend without the others.

I love it here

The fact that Good Omens alone was enough to get OFMD and fucking SUPERNATURAL to trend again is hilarious, devastating, and so fucking queer of it tbh

July 29-30, 2023 - An angel leaves his boyfriend and gets sent to turbohell turboheaven.

Good Omens spoilers ahead.

It looks like we're stepping up from queerbaiting. Now the gays get to kiss on screen only to break up. [x]

Good Omens' fans are Going Through It. Season 2 released on July 28th and it ended with the angel Aziraphale getting a promotion and going to Heaven, leaving his demon boyfriend on Earth after their first kiss.

This naturally led to the show trending. Alongside it, Our Flag Means Death and Supernatural started trending as well. The fans of all three shows are crying in each other's arms. [x] [x] [x]

To all fans of the show, please accept my deepest condolences. Below are also screenshots of recent Neil Gaiman's tweets, so there's still hope [x] [x] [x] [x].

A disclaimer: I did not see spn trending yesterday personally, but I wasn't on tumblr a lot and I did get an ask specifically about it, so given the circumstances, the destiel meme, and today's trend, it's very likely that it trended yesterday, so I'm including it this time.

So, I feel like I’m losing my mind. I keep seeing metas about how Aziraphale wants Crowley to return to Heaven and be an angel again because he wants them to be on the same side/be good/change/etc., etc., etc. but I don’t see that at all. I actually see it as the very opposite.

Aziraphale loves Crowley just as he is. But there’s something more. Something huge.

Aziraphale loves Crowley and because he is an angel who is stuck in seeing things as black and white, he constantly praises Crowley for being nice. For being good. For being kind.

Aziraphale has watched Crowley on and off for 6,000 years. He watched him thwart the plans of Heaven and Hell because it was unjust. He spared the lives of innocents. He did small things that made Aziraphale happy just because (like making Hamlet successful and saving valuable books). And because Aziraphale sees things in black and white, he sees all the things Crowley has done as nice, as good, as kind.

Crowley vehemently attests he’s not nice or good or kind.

He’s not exactly wrong nor is he lying when he says this. When Crowley spares goats during a cruel bet over a righteous man and swallowing laudanum to prevent a suicide, when he prevents Armageddon by working with Aziraphale and stopping the Anti-Christ from being the Anti-Christ, he’s not doing the nice/good/kind thing.

He’s doing the right thing.

Crowley chooses to do the right thing without hesitation. He is better than all of Heaven and Hell who have callous and dispassionate view of all existence because he questions, because he makes choices. Crowley sees the world for all its messiness and he sees himself. He sees a place where he fits in. He sees the blurred edges.

And Aziraphale sees that, even if seeing the blurred edges is hard for him.

But here’s the thing that Aziraphale can’t voice.

It’s the reason why he told Crowley about being allowed to return to Heaven and become an angel again. He doesn’t want Crowley to change. He doesn’t think Crowley is flawed. Or not enough.

It’s something that is so monumental that it cannot be put into words. Because to put it into words would be more than blasphemy. It’s down right unthinkable for anyone in Heaven, Hell, or Earth to say what Aziraphale knows deep in his soul.

God was wrong to cast out Crowley.

Aziraphale believes Crowley can/should return to Heaven because he knows that Crowley should never have fallen in the first place. He wants him to be forgiven because when Crowley fell it was unjust. Aziraphale is trying to correct a mistake. He’s trying to do the right thing.

Yes, Crowley would never accept returning to Heaven. And Aziraphale was wrong to even suggest it (although that conversation is another can of worms to unpack).

Aziraphale loves Crowley. He loves him exactly as he is. He doesn’t want him to change. Aziraphale knows that Crowley the best of all of them. He wants to change Heaven because of it. Because God was wrong and Aziraphale knows it.

Aziraphale may have difficulty seeing beyond black and white, but when it comes to Crowley he sees everything crystal clear and in vivid color.
