I need this, it's not a want it's a need

Good Omens where everything is the same except Crowley and Aziraphale look like this:

crowley and his sunglasses is such a beautiful way to represent him and how he's feeling. he wears the sunglasses not only to hide his eyes from humans bit also to hide himself and his true feelings from the world. it's a physical representation of crowley's walls and his need to hide. he almost never took off his sunglasses in season one BUT in season 2, he leaves them off most of the time he's with Aziraphale. he's opening himself up to him and when in episode 6 crowley gives his confession and aziraphale shuts him down and says "nothing lasts forever" crowley puts them back on because he opened himself up, he tried to say what he wanted to say and it wasn't enough. i think in season 3, it'll be awhile before he takes them back off again.

why choose to be happy when you can watch an endless supply of good omens 2 edits and cry. GOSH THESE INEFFABLE HUSBANDS I SWEAR

So, if my mutuals are correct, because I loved Good Omens, I will also enjoy watching Our Flag Means Death. Is this true?

for better or worse i can draw and i had an unending need to see this happen so i did

i can't draw so here's a lazy edit but can we talk about how this happened literally

CRINGETOBER DAY 4: ANGEL X DEMON

Good Omens – Season 2, Episode 1 "The Arrival"

Tried my hand at making (low quality) gifs

Nice explanation ! I wanted to add something else to your thought. Another crime from the Metatron is to show Azi how much Crowley hates Heaven, and by metaphor again, showing how much he hates angels from there. But Azi is an angel, so he's maybe just hearing "I hate Heaven and angels ! I hate YOUR nature ! I hate EVERYTHING about YOU !", because Azi always refers himself as an angel through the whole series. If Crowley refuses to work with him, Aziraphale wouldn't have another answer about why Crowley do that : since Before the Beggining, they were working together several times without this to be a barricade between them. But now, Metatron give him the offer to become Supreme Archangel and a leader of the next biggest decisions. If Crowley doesn't like him because of being Supreme Archangel, it means he has never liked Aziraphale at all because he is an angel who obbeys Heaven, and by extension, he never really liked Aziraphale. The scene where he's saying "I think you don't understand what I'm offering you" sounds condescending, but maybe it means "If you liked what we did before by saving the world, why would you want to stop me when I will be able to change everything for good with you on my side ?" Crowley's answer is insulting and not complete at all. And then, the kiss. Aziraphale was already confused by Crowley's refusal, and the kiss added a lot of confusion. At first, Aziraphale is surprised, but the second he understand what's happening physically, we can see he's hesitating between pushing himself against Crowley or pushing Crowley away from him. As the battle inside his head ends, he makes up his mind : Crowley's trying to make him stay on Earth, to make him stay here at the lowest as possible by risking Aziraphale's safety, while he could fall just by wanting to stay with Crowley. Crowley seems selfish by doing that, while Aziraphale wanted to work to make things better. This is not the first time Crowley show selfishness. In the book, (SPOILER TIME !!!!!!) when Adam defeated the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Satan is coming. Instead of staying there, Crowley runs to a Jeep around there, with the aim of fleeing elsewhere before trouble comes. Aziraphale comes to him and explains that there is nowhere to go, nothing to lose by facing Satan, and Crowley finally agrees and stays. In the series, Crowley ask Aziraphale to leave Earth with him a lot of times before the Appocalypse, and then at the end of Season 2. There is one time Crowley tries to face his problems : this is when Hastur and Ligur comes to him to kill him, and then he succeeds to kill Ligur and to flee Hastur. He did that because Aziraphale gave him Holy Water. When Aziraphale is here, Crowley usually doesn't feel the need to go away. When Aziraphel is not with him or do not agree with him, Crowley alone is a coward or a runaway. And the only thing that could lead Aziraphale to abandon him to his doom was brought by Metatron. Aziraphale finally leaves Crowley on Earth, alone so not able to fight anything without his angel, and Aziraphale has the taste of bitterness because of Crowley's way to want him not go back to Heaven in a selfish way, wanting Aziraphale with himself only and not on the Up Side, where Aziraphale thinks he'll be capable of anything to make the Universe better.

Metatron is a masterpiece at manipulation, at understanding how people works, at knowing the weakness of each one. Metatron is the biggest ennemy since Season 1, and he succeeds at tearing appart the "us" Azi and Crowley had just for some years only. Being able to read the Book of Life (even without being able to interact with it) is a big help for Metatron to do that, as he seems to be the narrator when we can see all the flashbacks. And as always, I recall that those are only my thoughts about a story I love.

Aziraphale doesn't drink coffee

My friends, it feels obvious now, but I finally managed to put my fingers on what was bothering me about this specific exchange of lines:

If you think about it, this exchange doesn't make sense. Aziraphale says:

"But I… I don't want to go back to Heaven. Where would I get my coffee?"

and the Metatron answers:

"You know, as Supreme Archangel, you would be able to decide who to work with."

What does being able to decide who to work with have anything to do with coffee?

At first, like many of us, I had interpreted the scene as Aziraphale using the coffee as a metaphor for expressing his love for Earth and earthly pleasures, and the Metatron slyly throwing the Crowley's restored angelic status card on the table to force him to change his mind, as if Crowley was the one important thing that could make Aziraphale forget all other things on Earth.

But here's the thing - and I don't know why I never noticed it before: as far as we know, Aziraphale doesn't drink coffee.

If I am not mistaken, there are only three explicit coffee references in the two seasons: the "six shots of espresso," the espresso cup that sits in front of Crowley on the table at the Ritz in s1ep1, and the two mugs in s1ep2 when Aziraphale and Crowley stops at a sort of dining place to discuss how to find the lost Antichrist. Now, unlike with the expresso cup at the Ritz, where we have an above shot that clearly shows traces of coffee, we don't see what's inside the two mugs here. But I don't think Aziraphale's one contains coffe: he's not even aware that caffeine is definitely does not "calm people down," it's very clearly not his thing.

Furthermore, we do know what his things are: little restaurants, sushi, classical music, old bookshops, tea, crepes, French wine… not coffee.

When the Metatron asks him to become Supreme Archangel, he could say "where would I get my sushi?" or "where would I get my books" or "where would I get my records" which is an actual line that he pronounced earlier while talking to Maggie.

Instead he says "coffee."

And then it struck me: Aziraphale is never associated with coffee. But Crowley is.

That's what he's saying, probably unconsciously: when he says "where would I get my coffee?" he's not expressing his love for Earth, he's expressing his love for Crowley.

He could even be doing this without realizing it, as a form of involuntary codification (codification like in Freud's or Matte Blanco's theories of unconscious mind: where something seated deep inside you hooks onto some minor detail outside and starts speaking through your words as if on its own accord). After all, this particular morning, after the emotional strain of the ball, the demonic attack during the night, and the unexpected revelation of Gabriel and Beelzebub relationship, seems to me like the sort of moment in which some amount of brain fog is to be expected, even for an angel.

But the Metatron sees straight through him, possibly even more clearly than he sees through himself, and gives an answer that ignores the superficial codification and address directly the deep meaning. He doesn't say: "as Supreme Archangel you would be able to pop down here whenever you want and have as much coffee as you like." He immediately sees that "where would I get my coffee?" means "how could I be together with Crowley?" and makes his dirty move of dangling the idea of restoring Crowley to his former angelic status in front of Aziraphale's face because he knows that this is the one and only point.

And now I really, really, really hope that in s3 we will see Supreme Archangel Aziraphale sending someone on Earth to get him some coffee - maybe a big cup with six shots of espresso in it and nothing else - and then grabbing the paper cup with a pain, strenght, and desperation that nobody else would understand.

Those ineffable idiots won't leave my mind (ignore the 3 different styles, i'm working on it)

Aziracrow, probably...

Crowley: Look Angel, we're standing under a mistletoe! You know what that means... Aziraphale: (oblivious) Crowley, this isn't a mistletoe- Crowley: *hectically miracles the branch into a mistletoe* Whatcha saying? Couldn't hear you

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.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Season three is now ahead, Can I hear a wahoo?

Since I haven't seen this one yet-

Had to put it out there.

it's literally aziraphale??????
