Yet Another Comment On The Sunglasses, But It Has To Be Said.

Yet another comment on the sunglasses, but it has to be said.

Crowley is at his most vulnerable when he doesn't have the glasses on, so when he does, he can pretend everything is okay. This is why him putting them back on at the end is so tragic because he CANNOT just go back to being casual friends/acquaintances with Az.

Crowley is CONSISTENTLY at his most jokey/sarcastic when he does have his glasses on. This is him having is walls up, but is also him being a silly little guy and being in total denial about how much he'd sob if his love was unrequited.

Everyone was so happy about him taking his glasses off more in s2 but that's really the tragedy of it. He loves and loves and only loses when he confronts the truth, at his most vulnerable. He only fully realises how broken his and Aziraphales relationship is when he tries to be open.

They may be circular but they are 6000% his heart shaped sunglasses and the lenses are more rose tinted than the NGC 40 nebula.

“Nothing lasts forever”

Okay so obviously even on a surface level, this HURTS. BADLY. And it’s already kinda established that Aziraphale meant his earthy possessions (bookshop, ect), while Crowley took it as their arrangement and relationship.

Crucially though, I think it speaks to how brainwashed he really is. Not even necessarily by miracled coffee or any dirty tactics, just heaven being heaven and Az feeling obligated to listen to the metatron.

After all, in season one, one of the ways in which Crowley tries to get Aziraphale to agree to help him stop Armageddon is by listening material things he wouldn’t have anymore. While choosing Heaven and believing he can make a difference is VERY in character and a crucial mistake he needs to make for his development, the idea that Az can just, let go is so unbelievably foreign to me, so I was thinking about what his thought process could possibly be if we rule out miracled obedience.

In fact, after Crowley leaves he even seems concerned about the bookshop.

THEN, I thought, possibly, Aziraphale is an lying angel who lies.

AZIRAPHALE DOES NOT WANT TO LEAVE EARTH AT ALL, HE DOES NOT WANT TO LEAVE THE BOOKSHOP. HE ONLY SAYS THAT TO TRY AND GET CROWLEY TO GO WITH HIM BECAUSE HE THINKS THEY WILL BE HAPPIER IN HEAVEN. HE IS WILLING TO GIVE UP HIS SHOP BC HE WANTS TO SEE THE CROWLEY WHO WAS HAPPY TO MAKE THE STARS. THE POOR DEMON TAKES THE WORDS IN THE EXACT OPPOSITE WAY THEY ARE MEANT. “NOTHING LASTS FOREVER” IS HIM PLEADING WITH CROWLEY TO GO WITH HIM BECAUSE IF HE REFUSES TO GO TO HEAVEN AND LEAVE EVERYTHING ELSE BEHIND THEN THEY BOTH LOOSE EVERYTHING INSTEAD OF ONLY SOME THINGS.

This is likley an over analysis, do with it what you will but I’m choosing to believe it.

Whenever anyone calls themselves an "alpha" all I can think of is the generation. Like yeah sweetie well done! That's your generation! Now it's 9:00, time for bed so you have plenty of energy for playtime at school tomorrow!

You know Nick was struggling mentally by the fact that he went to do his maths GCSE in pencil.

I mean, he did the higher paper so he's not stupid, just stressed.

I've finally realised why I hate songs written about romantic exes. It's not that I dont like them, just none of them meet my standards.

The standard, of course, being SIX THE MUSICAL.

HOLY SHIT I WATCHED IT RECENTLY AND IT WAS SOOOOOO GOOD, THE VOCALS, THE PERFORMANCE, THE OUTFITS.

L TO THE SWIFTIES BUT HER SINGING ABOUT BREAKUPS AT THE ERAS TOUR COULD NEVER.

Also I'm well aware that it's just part of the performance but Katherine Howard winked at me and she was very pretty and im not getting over that for a good week so yeah.

'I'm an academic weapon', like okay bro but I'm begging you be more specific.

Are you a rapier? Using efficient techniques to study and target your weak spots?

Are you a dagger? Using sneaky tactics to get ahead of your peers?

Or are you just a massive fucking hammer? Using brute force methods till it works, powered only by sheer force of will?

On that note if your weapon starts to dull and feel heavy stop swinging and give it some tlc before heading back out onto the battlefield. The evil will still be there for you to vanquish when you get back.
