I think what makes this even more exceptionally heartbreaking is that to Crowley, Aziraphale is basically saying in so many words that he doesn’t love him as he is, the demon that despite being a demon, has gone out of his way for Aziraphale time and time again and been there for him every single time he needed it. He wants the Crowley that is “good” by default, uncomplicated and easy to love, not the actual, complicated person he’s been through thick and thin with and has had to work through difficult situations and emotions with. God, that is such a fucking gut punch
‘‘he and i… go back a long time’‘ oh it just hit me in the chest that aziraphale can talk freely about crowley without fear now. he doesn’t look up or over his shoulder he looks straight at crowley and smiles and acknowledges the span of their relationship. oh no the queer catharsis is kicking in early oh no
“Good Omens Season 2 will be quiet, and gentle, and romantic.”
We could've been us.
No thoughts, head empty, just Crowley’s little apology dance.
Neil really just updated his long fic slow burn with a chapter 2 after a 4 year hiatus and then left an authors note like haha hope you like it I’m working on ch 3 but idk if/when it’ll get posted bye!
hello i am fucking devastated by that ending okay. im not usually the type to cry at any media, and this reduced me to tears my god i cant even fucking think argh why would you do this you
I am of the opinion that he carries piles of books for the specific purpose of throwing them dramatically.
Do we know what Crowley was doing yeeting those books in season 2? And if we don't, what are the theories around?
At first I thought he was making space for more fire extinguishers, but then Neil said that those were Aziraphale's investment, so I'm back to wondering what that was about...
Maybe he was just bringing Jim more books that he could catalogize by the brilliant Jimsystem? :) BUt not caring enough not to yeet them
I don't post much, I'm mostly here to lurk and I've been avoiding writing anything about The Big Moment in Good Omens season 2, because I need to rotate things in my head for a long time before I talk about them.
But after a few weeks, can I just say. It was so good. It was so fucking good. Like, of course, I'm miserable, chewing glass, scratching at the walls, etc. But it was so good.
The Tragedy of it. It's not a miscommunication, or a "bad-timing-by-a-few-seconds" kind of things. Crowley still declares (as much as he can), still kisses him (my personal interpretation of which being that he's trying to show that this isn't something Aziraphale can pout about until he changes his mind), still waits until the last possible moment.
It's a tragedy in the "classical" sense of the word. It ends in tears not because there was nothing to be done, but because who these characters are at the moment does not let them act in any other way. There are some fatal character flaws. I know it's a hotly debated issue around here at the moment, but in my opinion the fault lies mainly in Aziraphale. I love him, I think he was working on it, but he's still an angel with too much faith in Heaven. An understandable, reliable, hopeful mistake is still a mistake.
And I don't think the overall story is a tragedy. I don't think it will end in heartbreak. I'm going to let these characters live in the back of my brain for however long it takes to get a season 3, and when we do, I'll be right there.
I still can't believe that Gabriel and Beelzebub said "Gay rights but just for us".
I would be 5% less insane about Good Omens season 2 if I hadn't heard "Nothing Gold Can Stay" in Malevolent a few months back.
now that I've somewhat recovered, here's an incomplete list of my favorite good omens 2 moments

GOOD OMENS 2 SPOILERS
yall istg I keep seeing stuff comparing good omens to like sherlock spn or merlin?? literally shut up mlm romance not working out IS NOT THE SAME AS IT NOT BEING CANON. if a het couple just got together everyone would say its boring. it would be boring for the plot if they just instantly were perfectly fit for an openly romantic relationship. I love all these shows people are comparing go to despite their queerbaiting, but good omens is not in the same category
"I'm very good at forgiveness. It's one of my favorite things."
I didn’t know I need Aziraphale to say Fuck so madly after reading this post.
I feel like Aziraphale and Crowley will be forced to speak to each other by Nina and Maggie and so they will sit in one room locked up by them and they’re going to be absolutely fuming and still refusing to talk
But they will finally snap and start fighting through which they will mention all the misunderstandings over the years
YOU DIDN’T TELL ME YOU WERE HOMELESS
IT WAS NOT YOUR PROBLEM
YES IT WAS I’D NEVER LET YOU LIVE IN A CAR
YOU TOLD ME I WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU
I NEVER SAID THAT
YOU CALLED ME ONE OF THE BAD GUYS
THAT’S NOT… THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT
I TOLD YOU I LOVED YOU AND YOU TOLD ME NOTHING LASTS FOREVER!
I MEANT THE BOOKSHOP! I CHOSE YOU OVER THE BOOKSHOP!
YOU WANTED ME TO BE AN ANGEL LIKE I WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH THE WAY I AM
I WANTED YOU TO BE HAPPY AND SAFE! YOU NEVER TOLD ME GABRIEL WANTED ME TO SHUT UP AND DIE!
I WANTED TO PROTECT YOU!
I WANTED TO PROTECT YOU TOO!
6 thousand years of misunderstandings until they stop and need to catch a breath because fucking hell and Aziraphale says fuck this and grabs Crowley the way he grabbed him and kisses him
Yess to all of the comments

#as if
you are a genius, man
Crowley was originally the angel Kokabiel and here's why:
Just looking at this definition of Kokabiel, we know two things: 1.) that they were the angel in charge of the stars, and 2.) the ended up falling. This screams Crowley, as in the first episode of season two we are shown Crowley in his angel form literally creating the stars. He also has a map of the stars in his hand, including all the constellations.
When the galaxy comes alive, Crowley is ecstatic! But when Aziraphale asks if he had done it all himself, he says "Ah, well, I mean, more or less. I wasn't... I wasn't, um... I wasn't the original concept designer, but I worked very closely with the upstairs on it," The "upstairs" in question being God.
Continuing on this theory, Crowley then explains that what he's created is a "star factory" and then launches into teaching Aziraphale about the creation of stars and constellations--much like Kokabeil was known for.
Once Crowley is let on that the "upstairs" is going to shut everything down in about 6,000 years, Crowley is mostly upset that his stars would die. He doesn't know earth by it's name, as he would most likely never have concerned himself with anything other than stars, and when he's told that his stars are only there for humans to just look at, he gets upset and ultimately starts questioning God--a slippery slope after all, because how much trouble can you get in for asking a few questions?
Well, a lot, apparently. Crowley becomes a fallen angel, like Kokabiel, and as we see towards the finale, he still has enough power to open up Gabriel's classified documents--something only a very powerful angel could do. This would align with Crowley being Kokabiel, since Kokabiel was the angel behind creating the universe and all it's stary components.
Not to mention that Crowley has dropped hints about his true name throughout the show, constantly bringing up that they could runaway together to somewhere in the universe both heaven and hell can't find them, or to alpha centuari--a star system in the universe. This hints that Crowley knows places in the universe that others do not (since he created it), and his desire to run away into the stars is just setting up reveal it is because they are of his own creation as an angel.
i want this to be true so bad
(we're all so delulu tho but i mean it worked out w ineffable bureaucracy didnt it?💀😭)
Okay, so!!!! This post will have spoilers for the very end of Good Omens season 2, but I have a theory about that ending and I'll explain--
Something was bothering me, so I just went back and watched the ending like actually 30 times and I am fully 99.999999% certain they switched places
As they're pulling away after the kiss, they lock eyes and Aziraphale's expression shifts in the teeniest tiniest way, like a confirmation glance, before they shift back (and Michael Sheen is a master, so no chance it's not on purpose)
(Like really, go back and watch how Aziraphale's expression shifts literally *a second* before "I forgive you" cuz the change is SO minute, but entirely different emotionally.)
Aziraphale's hands -stay by his sides- after that, he doesn't clasp them at all, and it's particularly noticeable while he's walking to the elevator with Metatron.
The Bentley only ever plays other music for Aziraphale, but also Crowley drives away slowly, but ALSO Crowley's collar is fully turned down but you -can- see bits of the red underside in several scenes (particularly before he changes in heaven), but you don't see it -at all- after the kiss
And Aziraphale's face IS weird in the elevator like everyone says, BUT. after going back and watching both, I'm pretty darn sure that's cuz it's Michael Sheen's Crowley, it's the SAME as during Aziraphale's trial in season 1.
This also explains why they're on opposite sides than they're usually shown while the end credits roll.
he's brainwashed and loving and wants to do good, he's a good boy (gender neutral)
Me finishing good omens season 2:
Ik overused meme but the accuracy stands
Deff not getting over this one anytime soon
Spoilers
NO ACTUALLY WHAT FUCK WHAT THIS ENDING
Im very happy and very sad at the same time. I mean finally they kissed but the end end is just devastating and dont get me wrong, this as an actual plot device is great just not for the END of the season. Mid season where I could just watch the next ep, fabulous. But now we gotta wait idk how many years for maybe a season 3 and then be sad every time that I think about it is just rude
Anyway great season overall I loved everything now Ill go rewatch everything 17 times everyone have a great weekend
erm yeah so im not normal about them SO WHAT!!!
Thinking about how Crowley was wearing his sunglasses during the kiss. Thinking about how it was not romantic, but rather desperate and angry. Thinking about how it was probably their first kiss ever, for both of them. Thinking about Aziraphale grasping at Crowley's back. Thinking about the moment during the kiss where Crowley seems to try and pull Aziraphale even closer. Thinking about how Aziraphale most definitely wanted to kiss back but didn't. Thinking about how Aziraphale could interpret it as Crowley tempting him. Thinking about how it was the most human way Crowley could possibly convey what he was feeling. Thinking about how it was awkward and went on for too long. Thinking about Aziraphale pressing his fingers against his lips afterwards. Thinking abou-
