Not having seen Aziraphale's wings since the end of season 1(chronologically speaking) has been haunting me. What would they look like after the appearance swap? After leaving heaven altogether?
Would they be black? Rejecting heaven and his angelic status resulting in his own choice to fall?
Would they still be white? A strong moral sense, a surety in what he's doing as the right thing keeping him from falling entirely(or just being God's specialest boy)?
Would they be gray? Not fallen per se, but still a bit on the fence? Caught between two worlds?Accepting that sometimes there are 'shades of gray?' (I think Crowley's would also be gray in such an instance maybe, which reminds me, im obsessed with what his wings might look like rn too.)
Do they even have wings anymore? Probably but I'm considering every damn possibility.
It's been making me wonder what's truly considered "fallen." I have more thoughts on the nature of falling itself but perhaps I'll save it for later.
Tell me your thoughts, I love wings!
My darling dearest partner made a super cute FMV for our most recent obsession
Highly recommend giving the movie(and her video :D) a watch, it's indescribably good!
Recently watched RRR for the first time and have been unable to think about anything else so I had to make this.
If you haven’t seen RRR you very much should it is on Netflix and this little FMV doesn’t even cover the half of everything this movie has going on.
Ope, click the new link instead!
Hey guys I made an FMV :)
Have you also been feeling down about the ending of Good Omens 2? Well look no further. This probably will still make you sad. Enjoy!
Y'know this has actually been bugging me for a while now. Because in the Bible, the antichrist, the four horsemen, the Second Coming, it's all part of the same apocalypse. Maybe they didn't really stop Armageddon so much as delay it or slow it down a bit.
Watching Good Omens while working on Lilith's dress (nap time! Yay!) and something jumped out at me;
Aziraphale: Is there some other way of locating him?
Crowley: How the Heaven should I know? Armageddon only happens once, you know.
Except, that's not true. Now we're dealing with the Second Coming.
Strings tangled up in strings and I'm not sure exactly what they mean, but it is interesting.
Castor is not good
But very verysexy ~~~
Crowley will love it
So hard to choose, they're all so good
You can listen to the songs I have linked under the cut (all taken from YouTube because they are the closest to the movie, some of the Spotify versions are modified). However, they have spoilers. Proceed at your own risk and listen to all of them before voting please
Oh, and reblog for a larger sample size <3 Maybe let me know your favourite in the tags :D
I'm choosing violence today. I started this on Twitter, but I'm going to finish my thoughts here like I always do.
But what really blows my mind the most is the way that people look at Aziraphale's "choice" at the end, as if he had one to fucking begin with.
I'm sorry, but Aziraphale knows how messed up Heaven is. He told The Metatron, more than once, that he did not want to go back to Heaven! We can debate what each of us means by "choice" all night because my "choice" and your "choice" might be two different concepts. He could have been strong armed by The Metatron or he could have looked at where things were headed and realized he had no choice but to intervene himself.
You need to ask yourself what Aziraphale has a moral imperative to do.
What do we owe to each other?
Seriously, if you have not watched The Good Place, I recommend you go and watch it, because it absolutely shaped how I've viewed Good Omens 2 since its release.
My levels of frustration with the bad faith mischaracterizations of Aziraphale are off the charts. If you are blaming him for everything, implying that he should have to grovel and that Crowley has a right to hurt him back, you have missed the point of Good Omens entirely.
I defend Aziraphale, but I don't think one of them is more right or wrong than the other. They're equals. They're a group of the two of them, acting and reacting to each other throughout history. They're Alpha Centuri.
I cannot even begin to explain how fucking devastated I felt when Crowley said these words, knowing he was fighting a losing battle. What he said took a lot of courage because he's finally admitting something they've both been too scared to publicly define for 6,000 years. Crowley has had to spend so long with a rough outer shell because he fell and had to hide all of his softness.
The look on his face was one of pure joy when he created that nebula, but I think the fact that he got to share that moment with Aziraphale is what has always stuck with him.
So yeah, seeing Crowley with a broken heart at the end of "Every Day" was sad for me as well.
My brain still lives here!!
But Neil has said that Good Omens 3 is not quiet, gentle, or romantic. I imagine it's going to be more like the the first season in which they are not central to the plot. GO2 will help us make sense of how they ended up where they are when we see the bigger picture with all the other major players involved with GO3.
Aziraphale was still a soldier and accidentally got himself discorporated in his own magic circle in season one. He had a platoon waiting on him to start Armageddon, and he deserted them to go save the world with Crowley instead. Aziraphale is a deserter. I need everyone to remember that. He yeeted himself out of Heaven and sought out Crowley before even locating a body just to warn him about what was happening so they could try to save the world together.
I can't help but think of 1941 and that magician who had been arrested for being a deserter.
Aziraphale disobeyed orders. That took courage but it branded him as a traitor against Heaven. They tried to destroy him for it the same way Hell tried to destroy Crowley for his part in stopping the war.
Aziraphale and Job are the only characters we have seen interacting with God directly. Aziraphale has spoken to God before and he is determined to do so again.
Aziraphale knows Heaven is flawed, but he also knows it's supposed to be good. He wants it to be good. He does not like the way the system works and he wants to make a difference. (And I'm pretty sure he's also determined to talk to God without being intercepted by The Metatron.)
Since when is that a bad thing? I don't get it. And I've had this discussion before.
If you need to change the system by burning the old one to the ground, it's still change, and we don't know what Aziraphale has planned.
It seems to me that people just want to see Aziraphale fail because it would punish him for returning to Heaven instead of running off with Crowley.
Some of y'all take everything Aziraphale says or does and twist those things into malicious anti-Crowley actions because you think the only reason Aziraphale exists is to make Crowley happy, and if he isn't thinking only about Crowley then he's doing something wrong.
Aziraphale does not exist as a plot device to further Crowley's character. They come as a pair. They've been learning from each other for 6,000 years. Crowley challenges Aziraphale just as much as Aziraphale challenges him.
You can be mad at Aziraphale all you want, but villainizing him is gross. Defending Crowley does not mean you have to tear down and mischaracterize Aziraphale anymore than defending Aziraphale means you have to tear down Crowley (but I don't see that happen on nearly the same level it happens to Aziraphale). Stop painting Aziraphale as an abusive partner, for fuck sake.
Aziraphale knows there are flaws in the system. He wants to make a difference, and since he has seen that Gabriel can change, then maybe the whole system can. He has to at least try, and if he can succeed then maybe he and Crowley can stop hiding and finally be together without having to look over their shoulders all the time.
Why is that a bad thing? He's just as protective of Crowley as Crowley is of him!
But don't forget that Aziraphale's wing was covering Adam and Eve too. As much as a wants to protect Crowley, he has a moral imperative to keep humanity safe as well.
He sent Adam and Eve into the unknown with a flaming sword so they could protect themselves.
As much as he wants to be with Crowley, there are 8 billion people on Earth heading toward the Second Coming and Judgment Day. They'll work together to fight alongside humanity in the end. Aziraphale should not have to humiliate himself just to earn Crowley's forgiveness. That's a rancid notion.
The Resurrectionist was a whole ass moral dilemma for Aziraphale, which is why I brought up The Good Place earlier, but that's a post for a different time.
Aziraphale has his own motivations and they're just as important as Crowley's, and they don't have to be chalked up to Aziraphale being the bad guy. Weird, I know, but shades of grey.
Oh hi there good omens fandom, did I mention I made a Bildad costume?
It's not entirely done but it was done enough to wear to a convention! There's still some things I'd like to tweak cause I'm a perfectionist and OBSESSED with his costume. Like I could write an essay on the construction alone but I digress.
It was such a blast seeing the delight on all the good omens fans faces when they spotted me, the collective love for Bildad is truly a highlight of the fandom!
Also ft. @black-mambaaaa and @mercyful-benz as turtleneck Crowley and Heaven Crowley looking like we're about to drop the hottest album of the apocalypse.
Aaaaand Heaven Crowley and I waiting on turtleneck Crowley to finish all the pics with our Aziraphale (we only had one and had to share).
The sweet @quinnznos takes our pics as always.
Ok love u bye!
I can't promise that I will only talk about tron in the year of our lord 2021 but I will be thinking about it constantly.
