feeling this tweet every single day of my life. the way this website just shits on dudes who are just chillin is insane
Good news for you, this August 23rd.
It’s that time of year again.
Nice
Guess what today is?
can we talk about how sweet crowley was this whole season. he told gabriel to jump from the window, regretted it, and made him cocoa. he saved a woman from suicide. he saved a bunch of goats and 3 kids by turning them into birds or lizards. he bumped muriel on the shoulder like a dad would when they told him they were 37th not 38th. he wanted aziraphale to be safe. he told that one guy not to feed the ducks bread because he wanted the ducks to be safe. he sheltered aziraphale, who he’d only known for a few minutes, under his wing. he helped aziraphale with his magic trick and supported him the whole season—his only condition being that aziraphale was safe.
crowley is a good person. even if he hates that, it’s true. and more than anything he wants aziraphale to be safe because he knows what it’s like to lose him. and he wants to protect aziraphale from heaven, because he knows how terrible they can be.
Can we actually just take a minute to thank Neil actually? He DIDN'T HAVE TO give us the Apology Dance or the dance in the Ball or the Bentley scene or Angel Crowley or them sharing an armchair or the continuation of the Blitz Scene or any of it, really, but he did. Thank you, Neil.
thinking about the theory that if they erased crowleys memories of his time in heaven (the same way they erased gabriels) and crowley still goes to aziraphale (without his memory) in the garden of eden bc everything would be better if you were near one particular person✨️
Dead ass tho. We sometimes forget, collectively as a group of people observing this franchise, that there are nasty dance clubs all over the Star Wars universe. The Galaxy. An entire system of worlds. There are places that play shitty dance remixes for 12 hours and where cross fraction hook ups probably happen every night.
Do not forget this. Beyond Tatooine, beyond stuffy meeting halls, the palaces of royalty, a storm trooper probably just had his 3rd drink and he’s bout to get the best dick of his life from something with 4 arms. He’s living the dream. Do not forget him.
this slaps honestly
for everyone who wants to make this bread, i found a few recipes
I do think people are forgetting, sometimes willingly, that Aziraphale is JUST as heartbroken over the rejection as Crowley
They did not walk out of there with Crowley destroyed and Aziraphale bummed but getting over it once he was in the elevator. Aziraphale went to Crowley all giddy and excited because he really thought this was finally it, this was finally their chance to be happy, and he sees it as Crowley taking that chance and stomping on it. H wasn’t lying when he said he needed Crowley, he DOES, and now he thinks Crowley chose his hate for heaven over his love for him just as Crowley thinks Aziraphale chose his devotion to god over his devotion to him
It wasn’t as simple as “Aziraphale rejected Crowley” they both think the other rejected them it was essentially the messiest mutual break up you’ve ever seen
They’re both completely heartbroken and do not see the part they played in their own heartbreak. Both thinking THE OTHER caused it. It’s such a mess. It’s SUCH a mess I cannot STAND these two
I need you all to know that in the Hungarian translation of Good Omens, Crowley calls Aziraphale 'angyalkám' which translates to 'my little angel' and this term of endearment is solely used between lovers
which had me curious about other languages and in fact Crowley calls Aziraphale a variation of 'my angel' in other languages, in french I believe it's 'l’angelot/mon ange' which means soft angel/my angel
If Amazon doesn't give us season 3 I'm 100% convinced that Neil, Michael and David will just do it staged-inspired in their fucking backyards
Interview with Michael Sheen and David Tennant about Staged (x)
David: Quite early in lockdown, I realised I was wearing wellington boots, shorts and this old, grey zip-up hoodie - and I’d been wearing them for several days. I thought maybe that was my “lockdown self”, so I put that costume into Staged.
…
They feel a natural double act and, coming from the same theatrical generation - Sheen is 51, Tennant 49 - have CVs that frequently over-lap, although last year’s Good Omens was the first time they acted together.
“We talked about that,” says Sheen “We came to the conclusion it was unusual to be in sornething together because normally we would be up tor the same sort of part. There often tended to be one Tennant/Sheen-sized hole in each show, so only one of us could get it. But now we’ve crossed the divide, we’re probably locked together for the rest of our careers.”
Tennant: “In unholy non-matrimony! Yes, I’m sure we have been considered considered for the same roles in the past.“
Sheen: “Well, we have - I believe it was between you and me, David, for Casanova.” [The fabled Italian seducer Tennant played in the 2005 BBC drama.]
Tennant: “Really? I didn’t know that.”
Sheen: “Yes, I was very sad I didn’t get that. And, now they know, the entire nation is sad I didn’t get it instead of you. So at least I’m not alone any more.”
“it’s not queer fiction unless the queerness is explicitly declared in the text according to currently accepted terminology and in a way that meets the approval of the entire audience” I mean follow your heart I guess but I trust myself as a queer person to recognise queer themes
“but doesn’t this risk giving the author undue credit for queer representation” I do not care about the author
speaking as a professional (and queer) author…. i love this??? so much??? good. GOOD. YES. Do not care about the author. We have moved beyond “The Author Is Dead” to “the author is irrelevant to me personally” and that is such an empowering position for readers to take and I am SO enthusiastic about it. YES GOOD GOOD GOOD.
The author only owns the copyright! The author does not AND SHOULD NOT own your personal experience, interpretation, and opinion of the text! That is some weird authoritarian shit, etymological pun not intended.
Also: the practice of Queering The Text, especially texts that are not hospitable to queerness at face value, is a time-honored tradition and very punk rock: You take the thing and you MAKE it yours. You sink your little claws into it and you gnaw on it until it’s as queer as you want it to be. Don’t wait around for someone else to provide you with your perfect queer representation – go out and do the “hotwiring a cop car and going on a joyride” equivalent of reading. The author is irrelevant.
hello "Crowley was Raphael" fans.did you know that the name Aziraphale means "Raphael's helper." Yeah pretty cool right.anyway I'm gonna cry for a little bit now
