Ignore Any Mistakes - Tumblr Posts
I had a really shitty interview this afternoon (that wasn’t even a proper interview it was like 2 minutes tops), SO IM PROJECTING THAT ONTO THE OLD MEN I LIKE!!! John Price who drives you to your interview, lets you practice your lines onto him and presses little kisses onto your forehead or hair while you get ready. When you leave his truck, because he has a truck fucking fight me- he gets out too open your door for you like a gentleman and gives you one last kiss before squeezing your shoulders softly and rubbing up and down your arms for one last “Good luck sweetheart”.
John Price who once seeing you leave the place early can already see your face and immediately wraps you in his arms, rubbing your back while letting you angrily rant to him while he leads you back to his truck.
“I know kid, I know. You did so well.” He gets you ice cream and some food, letting you calm down with your ice cream and only once he can see your more stable ask’s you what happened.
John Price who nods along and lets out an annoyed click of his tongue when you spill how the guy ONLY read your CV and Resume on the spot, you didn’t even get to talk to him properly or tell him your strengths or weakness’s before he shooed you away with a ‘we will reach out soon’.
John Price who gets pissed on behalf of you when he hears this but keeps it together when your anger fades away to sadness. Rubbing your back and whispering sweet nothings into your ear while he lets you cry, keeping you wrapped up in his arms.
John Price who when you finally get back home drops to his knees, which takes a bit because time in the army will do a number on your body, to take off your shoes. Large fingers gently massaging your calf and ankle while he slips on shoe off, pressing a kiss to the side of your knee before mimicking that on your other leg.
John Price who pampers you for the rest of the night, letting you cry on his shoulder but stealing kisses and tells you that you did so well and they are idiots to do that to you and not hire you.
YES. JUST YES. LIKE OHHH MY GOD?!
It has me like "Did...did we watch the same show?? Did we WATCH THE SAME FINAL FIFTEEN??!"
We literally watch how they interact and we watch Aziraphale fall in love with Crowley in real time- AAAAGES AGO TIMELINE WISE!!
(This isn't the very first example, but I like this GIF best)
We that Crowley had put his foot down during the Job episode and told Aziraphale "The angel you knew is not me.."
Aziraphale does not want Crowley to go back with him to Heaven because "he only loves him as an angel". That's incredibly incorrect. How I see it, he wants Crowley to go back with him to Heaven because he knows he'll be in charge and he knows he can do EVERYTHING in his power to make it good for Crowley. A place where Crowley belongs. He wants to see him smile again and that look of whimsy and delight in his eyes.
He NEEDS Crowley by his side because they ARE a DUO! He feels he can't do it without him! He knows they both have issues with how heaven is run, and he feels that the two of them together can make a difference!
It wouldn't matter if anyone thought Aziraphale was a sorry excuse for an angel, because Crowley would always see him as the best out of all of them. It wouldn't matter if anyone thought Crowley was out of line for asking questions, because Aziraphale would listen to every single idea he had.
I think Aziraphales' only crime is just having ignorant, rigid perceptions of heaven, hell, sin, etc... as a whole. But that's literally what everyone told him constantly and that's what everyone around him thinks- so it's a little tough to shake those ideas.
Think about it like this: If you spend your whole existence trudging around barefoot in mud, it'll take a while for you to scrub it all off. Even then, they'll still be some gunk underneath your toenails.
So let's let Aziraphale BREATH! PLEEEASEEE! AAAHHHHH!
If I see one more person mischaracterize Aziraphale I'll lose it "Oh he doesn't want Crowley he wants the angel" "Oh he never loved Crowley" "He only loves Crowley if he's an angel" SHUT UP SHUT UPPPPPP NO HE DOESN'T SHUT UPPP
