You Wouldnt Kiss A Coworker To Try And Stop Them From Quitting - Tumblr Posts

Opinions on THE kiss (that unfortunately do not have anything to do with how well it was acted, I dont have the time to unpack all that)

Clearly, they are in love before the kiss, and the kiss is not what makes their relationship/ defines it as romantic, this much I agree with, and its a take I've seen a lot of. (I'm also pretty sure the beloved author (executioner of my heart) has said that the kiss is not what people should take as confirmation of their feelings. )

Another thing I've seen that goes alongside that is that the kiss was not a romantic in any way at all.

THIS BIT is what I dont like.

YES Crowley kissed him because he was desperate and he was desperate BECAUSE he loves him.

Romantic gestures and situations do not have to be positive and I think people are forgetting that you cannot have love without loss because otherwise you would never be able to fully appreciate it.

Hell, romance is inherently tragic.

The kiss was not what MAKES their relationship romantic but it was still romantic, in a saddening, beautiful way.

Basically what I'm saying is:

"Crowley kissed Az because he was desperate to get him to stay, and they both show their romance in other ways LONG before the kiss"

Goes hand in hand with

"Love is what made him so desperate and the kiss is still romantic, not despite how sad it is, but because of it"
