Season 2 of Good Omens looked at the book quote “Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide. Two of these were wrong,” and said it is the former two
Thinking about how Crowley doesn’t leave until Aziraphale does. How he dramatically walks out on him, hurt and heartbroken, and yet stays close where he can keep an eye on him, maybe hoping he will change his mind and turn Heaven down. He doesn’t even get in the car until Aziraphale leaves on the lift! He’s just standing there, as always, close enough to intervene, close enough to save him, waiting for Aziraphale to pick him.
I was so caught up in the heartbreak of episode 6 that I didn’t get a chance to really appreciate that the archangel fucking Gabriel canonically doesn’t know how babies are made
man. when nina’s like “other peoples love lives always seems so much more straightforward than our own” and crowleys just standing there absolutely gutted in the middle of the street in broad daylight. sunglasses on but you still see the moment it hits him like oh have i been in love for six thousand years? is that what that is? like bestie you’ve been doing nothing all day but following aziraphale around to watch him invite people to a party, you literally tagged along and asked “can i watch” cause theres nothing you enjoy more than seeing whatever he does all day.
People being like “aw crowley supports aziraphale’s interest in magic and doesn’t make fun of him” like ok brother sure if that’s how you want to phrase it I have no quarrel with you but also, importantly….he’s loving it. He’s having a blast. He’s acting all stoic and like he’s just going along with it to keep up appearances but he’s having the best time. David Tennant and Michael Sheen literally said so
