Rub Your Eyes Blink A Few Times And Watch The Show Again - Tumblr Posts
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
