This Compilation Is Basically All The Reasons I Love This Fandom And More

Not to mention, Crowley hit rock bottom SO OFTEN. First he fell, which he didn‘t mean to, then he‘s forced to do evil for eternity, but it becomes crystal clear right from the get go that he does not WANT to do evil. The earliest insance of this would be the temptation itself, he doesn‘t see what‘s so bad about knowing the difference between good and evil anyway - I don‘t think he would‘ve done it if he thought it was truly aweful. He goes out of his way to save Job‘s children, although he has no connection to them and they‘re arguably just some spoiled brats. (Heck he even saved the GOATS). He shows Jesus the kingdoms of the world not as a temptation but as a curtesy, because he doesn‘t think he gets around a lot.

I could go on but my point is: Crowley is NOT evil. Like, at all. And for someone with a moral compass it has to be hell (lol) to be forced to do evil until times end. And then he saves that girl in Edinburgh and probably gets tortured for however long Aziraphale didn‘t see him. Rock bottom again.

During Armagediddn‘t Hastur finally finds him out and tries to collect him to be destroyed. He has to pull an entire stunt, killing another demon in the process, to make it out of there - just to be rejected by Aziraphale. Rock bottom.

Sure, Azi has faced difficulties as well, but they‘re just never as grievous as Crowleys. Season two ends with Crowley hitting rock bottom AGAIN.

It wouldn‘t make sense for Crowley to be the one facing despair yet again. You can only kick a character that‘s down so often - at some point the script needs to flip so Aziraphale can grow too.

That‘s why I also think it would make sense for Aziraphale to be the one in desperate trouble during season 3. Be it by disappearing or not. He NEEDS to fall on his face spectacularly so they can be equal. So that they can be at the same point in their emotional journey and ultimately FINALLY get together at the same eye level.

"There will come a tempest" scene & possible S3 Crowley & Aziraphale foreshadowing...

When Gabriel is apparently possessed in the second half of Awning of a New Age, he and the woman who appears to be possessing him say something that is strangely repetitive:

"There will come a tempest and darkness and great storms, and the dead will leave their graves and walk the Earth once more and there will be great lamentations."

There is no actual difference in definition between a "tempest" and a "storm." A tempest *is* a storm-- both are wind and rain together. The usage of them is more of a matter of manner of speaking-- it's situational. "Storm" is the common usage while "tempest" is just the more literary, more poetic way of saying "storm." Your local news station reports on an impending "storm" but a poet might call that same storm a "tempest." As a result, the prophecy is weirdly repetitive at the start, right? It really reads like this:

"There will come a storm and darkness and great storms..."

Ok, why repeat it? Why use "tempest" and "storms" in the same phrase? Why separate them? To Crowley? Maybe because whoever this is is trying to warn Crowley specifically of events, not just warn of them in general. Because the word that triggers the whole thing is "tempest"-- and it's Crowley who said it. It's Crowley who called what he just did in Awning of a New Age "a tempest" and not a storm because he's poetic and dramatic like that.

So... what if the first part of the prophecy is actually already in motion? What would this potentially tell us about S3?

What if it's kind of like Agnes Nutter's first prophecy for Aziraphale was in S1-- "...thy cocoa doth grow cold" being about *that particular moment right then* with a difference of it being unclear right now if Crowley really understands that someone is trying to warn him through Gabriel? If this is the case? Then S3 isn't about *preventing* The Second Coming-- it's about somehow trying to *reverse or fix it*... because it's already happening. The tempest is Crowley's storm in Awning of a New Age... which Crowley thinks he failed at but didn't really entirely. It's his failure, in his estimation, to get Maggie and Nina to fully vavoom that causes him to tell Aziraphale that it's Aziraphale's turn to try-- setting up the meeting/ball to go the way it does, leading directly to the end of S2. What comes next?

Darkness and great storms. The end of the world. The dead rising from their graves and walking the Earth once more. The Second Coming. And there will be great lamentations...

Obviously, The Second Coming sounds horrible in GO. It's The Metatron's plan and he's the main antagonist. It sounds like they're going to destroy Earth and the known universe and only the the chosen few will survive it but what intrigues me about this is why whoever is delivering this prophecy is warning Crowley about great lamentations. Crowley is the one who prophesied in S1 that he thought the real war that was coming was "all of us versus all of them", and he meant he and Aziraphale and humanity versus the system of Heaven and Hell. So far, he seems to be correct on that and given that it was a set up line in the final moments of the season for future plot, it seems likely to be true. This would be how he survives it. Armageddon in its S1 round was supposed to trigger a war between Heaven and Hell that could have resulted in Crowley and Aziraphale being separated for eternity after it. They managed to push it off until the end of S2 and now Round 2 is a different flavor of Armageddon. The Second Coming is what Crowley seemed to predict in S1... but someone here is trying to get a message to Crowley and it sounds as if it might be meant for him directly as much as it is for the world. And what might that prophecy possibly be saying about S3's Crowley & Aziraphale plot, specifically?

That after Crowley's tempest comes darkness, comes great storms, comes the end of the world, comes The Second Coming... comes great lamentations-- great grief, great mourning. I'm not saying that Crowley wouldn't be broken by the end of the world but I am saying that someone warning Crowley that in an era of "the saved" being given eternal life, that will Crowley will be experiencing great lamentations feels very much like Aziraphale is not among them. (I am not saying that the show will end like this-- it will be fine.) It also would be the height of irony if Crowley and Aziraphale spent their time together always thinking that they had the about 6,000 years until Armageddon and that it was probably Crowley who wasn't going to make it beyond then and then it turns out that Aziraphale, who always thought that he was the one who was going to spend eternity alone without Crowley if they couldn't figure out a way out of Armageddon... it's Aziraphale who then doesn't make it.

It might also be worth considering that Crowley is the character who was given information along with us about The Book of Life from Beez-- someone who would know and whose memory isn't damaged. He doesn't need this information if he's the one getting Book of Life'd. He needs it if his plot in the future is to try to un-Book of Life someone.

There is also that while Michael was threatening to Book of Life Aziraphale in the bookshop, they didn't just *do* it-- and then The Metatron said that Michael wasn't qualified to do it. I'm not sure how true that is or if it was just him getting Michael to knock it off and stop giving everyone spoiler alerts for his game plan lol but The Metatron *would* be qualified and is the angel associated with The Book of Life in religious texts and S2 ends, as we all know, with Aziraphale getting in the elevator to Heaven with The Metatron.

You know those unused concept art images of the bookshop that didn't make it into S2 where it's the last thing standing in what looks like some kind of apocalyptic nightmare around it?

Crowley saves the bookshop during The Second Coming? Sends as many from Whickber Street as he can to Muriel in the shop and makes sure it survives because he can't see it destroyed again and, in doing so, he might have preserved evidence of Aziraphale's existence enough for a plot to bring him back when he finds out he's gone? (I'm aware that the idea with The Book of Life is that the person is erased from existence and so never existed at all. I'm a romantic and this show is too, really. Aziraphale can't be fully erased and Crowley can't fully forget him. Fight me on it if you want to lol but I also can't see how a plot to bring him back happens unless Crowley somehow remembers him.) S2 also gave us way too many things Aziraphale has made in a way that kind of foreshadow his disappearance in a way that makes their existences more relevant. His sketch of Gabriel. His diaries. The photo Furfur took of him and Crowley in 1941... Then, there's this line. This bloody line:

...and that one...

...and this bit from S1 when Aziraphale is in a state of semi-existence and what can help them is what Crowley saved from the bookshop...

I can absolutely not believe my first ever gay ship is competing against one of my newest favourite gay ships in a final of gay ships.

I don‘t even mind who wins or looses, I‘m just absolutely delighted about who the finalists are lmaooo

(and not to mention - the man, the legend, Neil Gaiman himself commented on this makes this post certified iconic) lol that aged poorly af

So I found out that it’s Semis birthday today!  That was such a good cause to draw him for the first time :D (Also I missed angel Yams birthday yesterday because of an important french test today and I’m in pain)

If I had a nickle for every time a beige-wearing biblically lesser known angel forsook his gay love to take charge of heaven out of naïve motives I‘d have two nickles. Which isn‘t a lot, but it‘s weird that it happened twice.

Ok but Iwaizumi is such a legit ace. 

Why:

1. Crazy awesome receives (those saves during the Karasuno match in season 2 where he was diving all over the court)

2. Vice captain: who even keeps the captain going (remember those end credits?)

3. Great serves: Ukai specifically said that they needed to limit Oikawa (who has the craziest serves) and Iwaizumi’s serves because they were so powerful

4. Keeps up the spirit of the team: when they lost a point but then he scored and told them that it nullified that lost point (then the coach said that he gave them back their fighting spirit)

5. only one who can keep Kyoutani in check (much to Oikawa’s chagrin)

6. Powerful spikes (on par with Japan’s top aces)

7. Technique/knowledge: when he spiked the ball between Koganegawa’s arms (like woah)

8. Motivational speeches: like the nullification one, but especially to Oikawa because his speeches always seem to flip a switch inside of him (the team with the better six is stronger…/someone who can’t see the opponent standing right in front of him..)

I just had a thought.

In episode five of Good Omens 2 Aziraphale reminds Shax his bookshop is a former outpost of heaven and therefore an embassy which they cannot enter. Shax retaliates by reminding HIM that he‘s an outcast, so technicalities don‘t exactly stand that firmly anymore. And while the demons were not actually able to enter the shop on those grounds, one of the shopkeepers did actually end up getting hurt (regardless of whether he was put back together or not).

I just thought, maybe Aziraphale was so willing to go back to heaven because he thought he‘d give humanity more security this way?

In the end, his decision to go back, to break Crowleys (and his own) heart was solely based on the hope to change things for the better - not for heaven or hell exactly if you ask me - but for humanity. He knew if he‘d run off with Crowley humans would‘ve been at the total mercy of heaven and hell and, let‘s face it, that‘s not the brightest future to have.

So while I absolutely agree he‘s beyond naïve in thinking he could actually change things, it‘s also the only choice he could‘ve realistically made. Because every other would‘ve meant to choose his own happiness over the survival of the world. And that would’ve just very much not been in character for him.

I just stared at this for a solid 10 minutes before going „OH MY GOD YOU FUCKING-"
