I Saw Your Ask On Badaziraphale Takes, And, While I Love Defending Aziraphale And Generally Agree With

I saw your ask on badaziraphale takes, and, while I love defending Aziraphale and generally agree with that blog, they're not the final word when it comes to takes on Aziraphale's character (far from it!). If you have a "bad take" according to them, that doesn't make you a bad person or anything. It's good to get opinions and stuff, but don't let the fear of being problematic stop you from discussing things! You might start a discussion and learn/change your opinion after, or you might just have opinions that other people disagree with, and either is okay!

Oh wow! I never thought I'd get an ask!

To be honest I was getting a bit anxious about that very thing yesterday evening. But reading what you said really has soothed my mind a bit, so thank you! :>

You're wonderful!

I will say though, Badziraphales response was very helpful as well!

I'll never stop going on and on about Good Omens I think (your notification caught me in the middle of typing out an idea actually). I think I'd curl up and die if I did.

My only goal is to just make sure nothing I say is hurtful or offensive, that's all!

Thank you so much for the ask dear!

"She Had Balls!" "Well-"

So we all know the part of Episode two where Crowley and Aziraphale are discussing fictitious ways to try and get Nina and Maggie to fall in love. Aziraphale brings up Jane Austen and says the following: "People would gather..and do some formal dancing. And then realized they had misunderstood eachother and were actually, deeply in love!" Then after Crowley states that sounds unlikely, Aziraphale says "Works everytime apparently"

Then later when the actual ball he plans is happening, we see him gearing up and getting all excited to ask Crowley to dance- and then him quickly swooping him away with a giggle.

Now...maybe I'm overthinking things as per usual... But was our dear Mr. Fell under the hopes that dancing with Crowley would get the demon to recognize Aziraphales feelings for him? He had promised it would be a night to remember after all. I mean, Crowley basically described him and Aziraphales meeting in Eden when he was describing his idea of falling in love (that he ""saw in a Richard Curtis film"") Would it be too out of the blue to wonder if Aziraphale would try and use the lovey dovey ball fantasy he was reenacting to his advantage? Constantly insisting that they're safe, nothing could possibly go wrong, and that Crowley was exaggerating? Maybe he just wanted a night of dancing with his crush without anything going wrong so the Jane Austen magic would work.

Look at the little smiiilee! I dunno- random shower thought!

If I had a nickel for every time there was a Blue & Yellow puppet character in horror related media I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice

The last centaurs, Aziraphale and Crowley, and their little foal Orion 💛

YES ABSOLUTELY

Like it makes me think of how Crowley had said "We're a team- a group! Group of the two of us. And we've spent our entire existence pretending that we're not..." and was very correct.

BUT THESE MOMENTS

- When Aziraphale kind of casually is like "Our Car"

- When he says "- technically my bookshop...but we both get PLENTY of use out of it, don't we?"

- When Aziraphale hands off the responsibility of watching the bookshop- which his now been established as THEIR BOOKSHOP- over to Crowley

- Crowley making sure to sort the books and not sell a single one and actually watch over Jim

-PROBABLY MORE IM FORGETTING

In these very moments it's an unspoken establishment of them going from separate entities who "fraternize" to a proper pair. Aziraphale feels comfortable enough to change the physical characteristics and inner workings of the Bentley because it's not just Crowley's Bentley. It's THEIR BENTLEY. Crowley is comfortable enough to just toss around Aziraphales' books willy nilly because it's not just Aziraphales books to tidy up. It's THEIR books to tidy up (or maybe it's just a little mischief). AZIRAPHALE BONDS WITH THE BENTLEY AND THE BENTLEY WANTED TO FOLLOW HIM AROUND! CROWLEY GETS ALL SNUG ON AZIRAPHALES CHAIR WHEN TALKING TO MURIEL!! AZIRAPHALE CALLS CROWLEY WHEN HES BORED, OR TO TELL HIM HOS GOOD DEEDS, OR WHEN SOMETHING IS WROONNG! CROWLEY KNOWS HIS DIFFERENT TONES OF VOICE!

Obviously we know based on the timeline they both fell in love with each other AGES ago. But after Armegedidnt, they felt comfortable enough to be within each other's space. To take up each others time. To slowly and silently converge as one instead of doing the whole opposite sides shtick.

But that scene outside when they talk of the car and the bookshop, they're finally properly acknowledging it OUT LOUD! It's absolutely a huge step for them. An ASTRONOMICAL step for them!

Phew. My brains buzzing.

Crowley stops arguing with Aziraphale about driving the car when Aziraphale tells Crowley he’ll be taking care of the bookshop. He realizes it’s a big step for them.
