Your face when, after 6,000 years, you decided to spend the night in a demon's apt. And spooky and sweet, isn't it?
- I just need to find a receptive body. (Like all of us, Aziraphale, like all of us).
- Harder than you'd think. (I bet, Crowley thinks it's impossible).
- I'm not going to go there. (Aziraphale is so naive, and Crowley is such a gentleman ><).
I read The Crow Road, as Crowley advised. I noticed some funny parallels with the GO. I will try to list them briefly:
The hero talks a lot about religion and the injustice of this world. This is similar to the argument between Crowley and Aziraphale in S2E3 (1837).
There is a scene where the hero enthusiastically talks about the creation of the universe and how beautiful it is. This, of course, is very similar to the scene of the S2E1.
At the end of the book, the hero gets a Bentley. There is nothing special here anymore, the car does not play a big role. But a Bentley is a Bentley and not every hero has one.
The main character has a crisis of faith. He argues with God and wants to comprehend him. There is an episode in the book where the hero and his girlfriend are having a conversation about God. His girlfriend says that God is incomprehensible. When you try to understand one part of it, you inevitably miss something else. So it is in the film - Crowley is a disappointed and doubting character, and Aziraphale accepts God without understanding him.
Rory is the hero's missing relative. I draw a parallel with Gabriel here. He's gone, and the only thing left is a matchbox. The story about Rory in the book also looks crumpled. But I found another reference.
Rory's favorite movie is Queen Christina (1933). This is another story about tragic forbidden love. And one of the characters is named Anthony (in the Spanish - Antonio). It's like in the movie "Inception" or like in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" - we go deeper and deeper down the paper steps. In this story, Antonio and Cristina were going to board a ship and sail to the islands of moon and settle in a house on a cliff. (by the way the Islands of the Moon is an outdated name for the Comoros archipelago, located in the Indian Ocean). I like to think that Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet have taken over this cliff house.
Well, the main thing. The romance between the hero and his girlfriend. It is obvious throughout the book that the girl loves our hero. Our hero moves for a long time, but also comes to love. There is an explanation of love between the characters, a scene of intimacy, and then they are orced to part. But the reader can be sure that two lovers will definitely reunite. I think Crowley recommended this book in the first place because of the hopeful ending. Well, because of these few similar little things. P.s. I don't consider Rory's diary a clue (it's not even a diary , but separate notes . Rather, they are more like Agnes's predictions). But I would also like to see Aziraphale's diary in S3.
When I was about to publish my theory, I decided to check if there were already similar ones. And I found this post. My respect. He was before mine. Now, with a clear conscience, I will publish my own.
In this painting by Leonardo da Vinci is Saint John the Baptist. He points to the sky. His gesture signifies the coming appearance of Christ. In Leonardo's painting, John has red hair and a tricky face. Crowley also makes a very similar gesture in the scene where he receives the infant Antichrist. this gesture does not correspond to what he is saying. It amuses me to think that this gesture means - yes, the Antichrist appeared today, but another baby also appeared today. I'm talking about the third baby, who was wrapped in a white blanket. Yes, I'm still hoping for a story about the second coming. Crowley must have met Leonardo. To prove this, he has a copy of the Joconda. His painting has an inscription (a whole sentence) and a signature at the bottom.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to make out what is written there. It would be funny if Leonardo painted his Joconda, and then St. John with Crowley. That's why they both have redheads and such sly smiles) And the letter J could mean Joconda or John. Although I prefer my other theory with the letter J.
Initial data: [Az] - Do you understand what happened yesterday? [Cr] - Well, I understand some of it. But some of it… well, it's just a little bit too [Death] - Ineffable
Objectively: 1 Two things happened last night. 2 Crowley understand one of these events. 3 The other event is Ineffable. 4 We also know that one of these events was a body swap.
To find: 1 What was the second event last night? 2 Which event does Crowley understand, and which is ineffable?
Additionally it is known: The first kiss happened in the S2.
My answer: 1 Last night they fell asleep in each other's arms >< 2 Death found such a close relationship between an angel and a demon ineffable. ^^

I want to add to my theory. I thought about it and finally became convinced that the name Anthony J. Crowley means Antony Juliet. Crowley took the names of two Shakespearean characters who tragically died of forbidden love. Antony and Juliet both died from the sword \dagger. Their loved ones (Cleopatra and Romeo), respectively, died of poison. In the finale, Crowley was supposed to die from poison (holy water), and Aziraphale from a pillar of fire (a symbolic fiery sword). Now there is one less reason for a sleepless night.
Have you tried to give him gifts?
"Uh, does saving his human body count as a gift?"
No, it's not
Well, OK, what did you give your angel?
A fly.
Are you fecking kidding me?
Well, I also brushed my teeth.
A fly and a clean mouth? It won't work with mine.
A variant with memory loss?
It's kind of harsh.
Well, you know, everything is a little harsh for you - love spell, binding, molestation. Are you a demon at all?
Yes, I just have my own methods…
Whatever you say. Invite my and Gabri's grandchildren to your ineffable wedding.
"demonic growling"
- For one prince of Heaven to be cast into the darkness makes a good story. For it to happen twice, makes it look like there is some kind of institutional problem.
According to Metatron, such disobedience to God happened only for the second time. The first person who doubted God's plans and was thrown into Hell for it was Crowley. So Crowley was a prince of Heaven and held the position of archangel Gabriel. Aziraphale will now take over this position. I'm sure he won't stay there for long either. :) This position is cursed as well as the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor (in the "Harry Potter") (: By the way, the institutional problem is a deep contradiction in the existing rules of the (paradise) system. Because the rules are inadequate or outdated. Such a problem leads to a change in the system or to its destruction.
Would it seem like a good story to you, Metatron, if yourself were thrown into darkness? Such an unpleasant character -_-
In the theater, Aziraphale silly declares that Crowley is not his friend, he does not even know him. After 15 seconds, Aziraphale is already smiling and staring at Crowley with shining eyes. After that, Crowley says:
"Age does not wither, nor custom stale his infinite variety". You'd think he was saying that about Hamlet. But a few minutes ago Crowley claimed that he did not like this performance and was not surprised, no one came to see it. I'm sure Crowley is saying these words about Aziraphale. Shakespeare used these famous lines in his other work "Antony and Cleopatra".
This is a work about a complex love story, in the twists and turns of political events. This story ended tragically. Antony kills himself with a sword, and Cleopatra kills herself with snake poison. This is just my hipothesis, but in this story there is: a sword, a snake, poison, love, heroes on different sides (strict Rome and sensual Egypt). One more thing:
Antony calls Cleopatra the snake of the Neil). (yes, the words are different in the English version. but in some languages, the name of the river and the name sound and written the same way).
Crowley said he prefers comedies. Maybe he lied, maybe he didn't. Tragedies end in death, comedies end in marriage. I just hope the letter J doesn't mean Juliet - two tragedies in one name is too much!
