Please Share Your Take On The Final Fifteen--- Was Aziraphale Right Or Wrong? And The Coffee Theory Maybe?
Please share your take on the final fifteen--- was Aziraphale right or wrong? And the coffee theory maybe?
I don't feel that either of them were objectively right or wrong. They both made a complete mess of what they were attempting to do, because they're bad at communicating with each other. They each responded to the other's effort by doing what they felt they had to do. They hurt each other badly and both twisted the knife a little - but not as much as you might expect given the stakes. Their different exactlys were just too huge there, and they were both distracted rather than mindful going in. It was a lot of things coming to a head that need to be dealt with before they can grow much further as an 'us'.

The coffee theory... I don't think it's anything that simple, or that easily fixed. Aziraphale's backed into a corner the moment he takes that coffee—the moment he engages with Metatron and allows himself to be separated from Crowley for that crucial interview. Manipulation got the job done.

Aziraphale knows he's between a rock and hard place the moment the Metatron mentions Crowley. Is he riding the tiger from then on, hoping for an opportunity to get off safely later, or is he reluctantly but fully committing to the Heaven thing because he's unable to let go of his need to belong on the "right" side and sees an opportunity? A mixture of both? Both plus the hurt feelings? I'm not sure. I think he sees a plausible way forward in that situation (and I think he's probably mistaken but will find some other way to rise to the occasion).

there's such a massive history with doctor who and it hit me lately that the sensation of seeing that the companions and doctors you watched in real-time have become the past is a sensation every fan has felt for 60 years. at some point people missed jon pertwee and could remember watching him recently, even though tom baker was on tv as the doctor now and they liked him too. and nowadays we miss rose tyler and martha jones and amy pond and clara oswald and donna noble and tennant and smith and capaldi like those people missed baker when davison took the stage. like people missed ace and wondered if the show would ever come back, and then got excited and still felt it wasn't quite the same when eccleston was announced. like. it feels so recent, like just yesterday rose saw the tardis for the first time, but that was twenty years ago. feels like the doctor just made the speech in 'the rings of akhaten' and that was a decade ago. clara is gone, amy is gone. peter capaldi went from gray to white. and the show is going on and children will think of ncuti gatwa and millie gibson and huge white tardis corridors when they think of doctor who in the future. to them, david tennant is already what tom baker is to us. this story has a huge legacy. when you're watching doctor who, it ironically begins to feel like you're making history just by watching it.
writing fanfiction is just fingers clenching over a keyboard as you ferally mutter i just want this little guy to be held, damn it and proceeding to hurt said little guy (gn) for about 10k words before you actually give them their hug

I'm forever disappointed that the 13th Doctor never had the joke of calling herself John Smith while under cover, just for everyone to look at her real confused
