my discord suggested i draw the drunk dress meet cute and, yknow, they had a point ๐
feel free to adopt this idea if you want to write it~
OH ALSO: because i draw cartoons so rarely these days, i grabbed at least a little bit of timelapse so you can see how i fandangle poses from scratch ๐ aka anatomy is pure vibes.
Aziraphale is the most character ever. He ran out of ideas so he declared war on hell. He canonically says fuck. His favourite colour is yellow. Heโs literally an angel and can speak every language on earth but still isnโt fluent in french. He told his boyfriend to shoot him for his magic act and made him go through with it when their miracles werenโt working. He gave away his flaming sword and then lied about it for the next 6000 years. He has a bookshop that never sells books. No oneโs doing it like him.
It drives me insane, just activates something visceral, and I finally realized why. It's not just an appropriately placed close up shot to denote intimacy between Gabriel and Beelzebub, it's a fuck damn pov shot.
Gabriel is not dressed in accordance to his preferences, he is borrowing Aziraphale's clothes. And Beezlebub, well lets just say a black blazer is a black blazer, not exactly the easiest thing in the world to differentiate. Just looking at those hands joining, the individual identities of their owners melts away. The moment could have so easily belonged to Aziraphale and Crowley... and it's just- it's... it's just like the Rats of Nimh. They've seen this sign everyday for almost their whole lives, and have never once known what it says. They can make inferences, use context clues, wherever they are, it seems to be too so it must be about them, but they couldn't ever know for sure. Until one day, without warning, they looked at the words, and understood them.
And the sign communicated a way out.
Aziraphale and Crowley are the first of their kind. I don't think we really appreciate or understand how utterly unfathomable what they feel for each other is in their lived contexts, even to them. All this painful fear, all these lengths they go to, all to keep safe this precious experience they don't even have the language to name. It's not just unallowed, it's unreal. So then just imagine what the actual fuck they must be feeling when they see someone else... just fucking do it. Just like that. An angel and a demon. In love. Intimate, affectionate, in front of heaven, in front of hell, in front of humanity, in front of GOD, and She knows who the hell else.
For literally the first time, theyโre seeing the things they feel for each other exist in others like them.
let's be honest, how else did we think he got all those fire extinguishers?
Just for once let me have that red pill

END OF ACT II
shax, approximately two seconds after arriving at crowleys flat and seeing the Gay Sex statue: i fucking KNEW IT
everyday struggle for real
Sometimes I'm going about my day normally, and then I think about my favorite character and double over in misery
WE GOT IT GUYS ๐๐๐
but seriously, I owe a lot to this man, he not only helped me through quarantine and when I was in the worst moment of my life, but he also made me improve my art, im very grateful for that
I miss him and it is a pity that there will be no more content of him but I will also treasure every moment that he made me happy
Sitting here watching s2xe5 and itโs the scene where Crowley is asking Aziraphale why his French is so bad and he says โI went to Monsieur Rossignolโs night classes in 1760โ.
I decided to Google if this was a real person since the name wasnโt familiar to me, and instead I had my giant gay heart stomped on by Neil Gaiman once again.
The French word for nightingale: Rossignol
Itโs the language of romance and Aziraphale took night classes with a Mr. Nightingale. I CANโT BREATHE.
