I want Crowley to call Aziraphale “my angel” in Good Omens season 2
He already calls him “my angel” in other languages so why not in English?
Bonus points if it’s in a protective way like “stay away from my angel”.
Am I asking too much?
Our favourite Ineffable Couple (Aziraphale & Crowley) never said “I love you” to each other. Instead, they showed their love for each other.
Actions speak louder than words.
Their love really is Ineffable “It is beyond understanding and incapable of being put into words.”
The Scuttlebutt didn’t feel so out of place. Out of context it feels weird but with the context not so much. Because Scuttles mostly blabbers in the movie.
The rap wasn’t bad in my opinion.
Also, I found Daveed Diggs’ (he voices Sebastian in the live action) rap at the end of the song to hype up Ariel to get ready to be kinda similar to Daveed Diggs role in Hamilton as Lafayette when he was telling Washington to get his right hand man back for the war. If this was intentional, it felt like a nice reference.
I love how the characters didn’t try to cure their scars and still have them in the end. It makes them more realistic.
Plus, it goes so well with their designs and it makes them look even more badass than they already are.
Currently studying this in Year 11 for my English Literature GCSE exam.
got thoughtful about opinions on bad books so here’s an inverse: what’s a book you had to read for school that you actually enjoyed/have grown to like? mine is Lord of the Flies
The main reason Crowley didn’t want Gabriel around was because the last time he saw him, Gabriel had tried to kill Aziraphale. Crowley was trying to protect Aziraphale.
We love (protective) Crowley protecting his angel.
I LOVED the movie.
I love how different and real this felt compared to most hero movies. There was no scene where Sir Nicholas Winton delivered an emotional heroic speech to a crowd to get help and donations (given the time period and place they were in, that would’ve been incredibly unrealistic as freedom of speech was limited). “Show, not tell” was achieved beautifully in this film. Instead of everything working out in a night, they showed Nicky, Doreen and Trevor working long hours, racing time day and night.
Instead of Sir Winton saying he loved and cared about kids, they showed it by him photographing kids and doing everything within his power to find foster homes for them. I also loved the scene where he gives kids small pieces of chocolate and how happy the kids look during that scene. It also makes the viewers realise how small things most take for granted, such as chocolate, can be a privilege to some and how fortunate we are to have it.
I also loved how they showed Sir Winton grieving the loss of the children they couldn’t save. The producers didn’t change it to a perfect happy ending where everyone lives. Instead, they mentioned what happened to those who weren’t as fortunate, but the 669 lives they rescued are worth celebrating.
I also appreciate at the end of the movie, they told us what happened to Nicky’s friends. They weren’t just forgotten; instead, they were mentioned without too much screen time, as this movie is about Sir Nicholas Winton and the children he saved.
In season 2, Crowley was rejected by Aziraphale for the THIRD TIME. In season 1, Crowley offers Aziraphale to leave with him, saying, “We’re on our side”, but Aziraphale rejects his idea. When Crowley asks, for the second time in season 1, to “go off together” to Alpha Centurai, Aziraphale rejects the idea AGAIN.
In season 2, Crowley tries to convince Aziraphale they‘re on their own side, away from Heaven and Hell; Heaven and the angels who rejected them both aren’t worth going back to. But once again, Aziraphale rejects the idea and goes back to heaven.
During the rejections, Aziraphale states, “I forgive you.” meaning he’s rejecting Crowley’s ideas, not him.
Getting rejected by Aziraphale wouldn’t be Crowley’s first reaction. He is a fallen angel, after all; God, Heaven, and the other angels have rejected him. Even Hell and the other demons had rejected him after Armageddon. Heck, even Crowley himself seems to have rejected himself; he calls himself a “Former Demon”.
While Aziraphale’s first and only rejection seems to be him getting kicked out of heaven after Armageddon.

Romantic Poets
Normal People: "You're a great friend."
Romantic Poets: "Friend, in the vast expanse of our platonic love, you are the tranquil stream that flows through the forest of our companionship, nourishing the roots of our bond with the purity of its waters, sustaining us through the seasons of life's journey."
Not gonna lie, Crowley taking his anger out on his plants instead of Aziraphale is high-key very wholesome and cute.
"The worst he could say is no."
Aziraphale: "I forgive you."
