"every day itsa gettingcloser
goingfaster than a roller coaster"
the roller-coaster in question
every day i make choices. not the right ones, usually, but choices nevertheless.
Good omens 2 came out a few days after my birthday and you know that toy you REALLY want but after five minutes it falls apart because some idiot in a white beard and brown coat holding coffee destroyed it because i do
oh, but can you imagine what they could have had?
a starmaker bubbling over with joy, a demon questioning god on the walls of eden. a being who fell in love with an angel, fearing heaven and hell but fighting them anyway because that's what is right, what is decent. because that is who he is.
that demon would have spoken 'i love you' out-loud to his angel as soon as he heard humans using it. that crowley would have loved openly, unashamed, willing to stand between aziraphale and their worlds.
but aziraphale couldn't do any of that, and so he carried the weight of his silence on his shoulders because there is nothing worse than loneliness, is there? i love him, we're not alone, it has to be enough.
eventually, he thought, he will be able to stand hearing me say it. that day never came, and what happened?
a demon who hides behind sarcasm and pretence because he learned that is how the world, how aziraphale, wants him. a demon that never speaks of his true feelings, a demon that never admits to love, a demon that submits to an angel's will because he cannot lose him, because he refuses to lose him, no matter how high the price.
finally, he thought that day. finally i can tell him. finally we can stop pretending, finally I can stop hiding.
then aziraphale accepted an offer and after six thousand years of hoping for more, he lost it all instead.

crowley & love in good omens 2
⚠️ SPOILERS BELOW FOR GOOD OMENS SEASON 2 ⚠️
so we already know that Crowley has seemingly gotten his ideas of how love with humans "works" from rom-coms, with his "sudden downpour" and "they realize they were meant for each other," whereas Aziraphale references romance novels with the formal dancing and realizing they're "deeply in love."
we saw the "rain" both in season 1 AND 2 when Crowley and Aziraphale shelter under each other's wing in each opening scene. and they dance during the party in the bookstore.
BUT earlier in season 2, after the coffeeshop scene where A and C originally brainstorm how to make Maggie and Nina fall in love, Crowley mentions in the shop that once they have a "fabulous kiss" that'll work it all out.
so we have not one, but TWO scenes of sheltering in the rain, but it doesn't get them together. they dance, but they still don't get together. that leaves (in Crowley's mind, I think) one thing to finally convince people that they love each other: a kiss.
in his desperation for Aziraphale to not go to Heaven with Metatron, what does he do? he kisses him. it's his last-ditch attempt, his "if all else fails," but it still doesn't work. he's tried everything he knows and Aziraphale still leaves. and I think that hurts him just as much as A actually leaving, because maybe he thinks he really doesn't understand love at all.
I apologize for that. anyone have any thoughts on this painful headcanon? or am I way off here...
specifically the chosen name Jim, not assigned at birth
if i had a nickel for ever time a side ship became canon in a silly little gay show and one of the people had the name jim i’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice
funny times that I want to spam all around about my feelings like on old facebook, but people, I’m so happy for waiting 4 years and now I’m not on facebook anymore, so where can I spill it?
..yeah, done with Episode 2
I just saw Episode 1 and I AM SCREASDFGHJKL
you are a genius, man
Crowley was originally the angel Kokabiel and here's why:
Just looking at this definition of Kokabiel, we know two things: 1.) that they were the angel in charge of the stars, and 2.) the ended up falling. This screams Crowley, as in the first episode of season two we are shown Crowley in his angel form literally creating the stars. He also has a map of the stars in his hand, including all the constellations.
When the galaxy comes alive, Crowley is ecstatic! But when Aziraphale asks if he had done it all himself, he says "Ah, well, I mean, more or less. I wasn't... I wasn't, um... I wasn't the original concept designer, but I worked very closely with the upstairs on it," The "upstairs" in question being God.
Continuing on this theory, Crowley then explains that what he's created is a "star factory" and then launches into teaching Aziraphale about the creation of stars and constellations--much like Kokabeil was known for.
Once Crowley is let on that the "upstairs" is going to shut everything down in about 6,000 years, Crowley is mostly upset that his stars would die. He doesn't know earth by it's name, as he would most likely never have concerned himself with anything other than stars, and when he's told that his stars are only there for humans to just look at, he gets upset and ultimately starts questioning God--a slippery slope after all, because how much trouble can you get in for asking a few questions?
Well, a lot, apparently. Crowley becomes a fallen angel, like Kokabiel, and as we see towards the finale, he still has enough power to open up Gabriel's classified documents--something only a very powerful angel could do. This would align with Crowley being Kokabiel, since Kokabiel was the angel behind creating the universe and all it's stary components.
Not to mention that Crowley has dropped hints about his true name throughout the show, constantly bringing up that they could runaway together to somewhere in the universe both heaven and hell can't find them, or to alpha centuari--a star system in the universe. This hints that Crowley knows places in the universe that others do not (since he created it), and his desire to run away into the stars is just setting up reveal it is because they are of his own creation as an angel.
Did anyone notice when Crowley was tidying Aziraphale’s shop, the music sounded like Crowley’s lullaby to Warlock
This scene is so scrumptious, I adore angry/annoyed Aziraphale with all my heart
I like theory about pre-fall Crowley was an archangel and there are a couple moments in season 2 that suggest it, sooooo…
Look, we all remember this moment and I have not yet seen anyone pay attention to what exactly Crowley did. He uses lightning. And NOW we should remember season 1 because…
We already see someone used lightning. It’s archangel fucking Gabriel.
Maybe it means something, maybe not. Maybe season 2 broke me so much that i distract myself with shitty theories. Who now.

GOOD OMENS SEASON 2 SPOILERS
It’s quite a common theory/headcannon that Crowley doesn’t remember his time as an angle before he fell. If this is true, they would both have different a first memory of eachother, meaning their first impression differ. I think this would explain the assumption that both Aziraphale and Crowley make to metatrons offer.
Aziraphale’s first memory is of the happy Angel whose happily created the galaxy and asks questions about why it has to end, which gives him the impression that Crowley would be happy to be a Angel again, wants to ‘reform’ heaven and prevent Armageddon 2.0, therefore would want to go back.
Whereas Crowley’s first memory (as far as he knows) is of the Angel who betrayed heaven to help Adam and Eve by giving them the fire sword, and over time continues to betray heaven, leaving the impression that he isn’t very loyal to heaven and likes humans, therefore wouldn’t accept it.
Then over their 6000 years on Earth, they both betrayed their sides. Giving Aziraphale the idea that Crowley liked heaven and Crowley the idea that Aziraphale didn’t.
Yes! I also want to point out that the little trance Gabriel goes into in episode 4 when he's remembering things is paraphrasing the book of Revelation! "The dead will leave their graves and walk the earth once more and there will be great Lamentations." There is a part in the Bible where the sounds of trumpets and instruments and other things mark the second coming of Christ, and the dead rising from their graves is ALSO one of the signs (I can't remember if it's before or after, it's been a WHILE since I've read it). And coupled with the zombie Nazis, the living dead? It was all foreshadowed and I just love that for once all that miserable reading and sermons throughout my childhood and teen years gave me at least some knowledge for this wonderful show specifically. However, the thing that really sticks out to me is the word "lamentations" which gives off a more...dark interpretation. I was under the impression when I first read the book that it was meant to be a happy thing. First the dead would rise to join Jesus, and then the living. So I wonder if Neil's interpretation will be something more out of a horror movie. I can't wait :) Sorry to hijack your post op, I had some thoughts and you sparked them!
I don't know if anyone else has pointed this out yet, but in Season 2 episode 3 (aka the grave digging episode) Aziraphale drives their Crowley's car. In the car he's listening to classical music and the piece he gets to play is 'Danse Macabre' by Camille Saint-Saëns. And if you don't know the 'Danse Macacre' it's a classical piece from 1874 and the French title translates to 'dance of death.' The piece itself is in a minor key and has a lot of strings that gives it an almost playful yet dreary tone. It's often interpreted to represent the resurrection of the dead, no matter the walk of life, and then dancing around graves. The overall message is basically that death is inevitable and no one can escape from it, that it doesn't matter who you are, all things come to an end.
So anyways, I recall Neil Gaiman or someone (sorry if it wasn't you Neil, I can't remember if I saw it here on Tumblr or in one of the several Good Omens interviews) that everything that happens in the show is deliberate. We all know it's deliberate that Crowley listens to Queen/the Bentley turns all music into Queen (sorry im not doing this explanation justice) and we also know that Aziraphale seems to like classical music. But I think there's a darker meaning almost to him listening to the 'Danse Macabre' and that maybe there's just subtle hints all through the season that the end is inevitable no matter how desperately this angel and demon try to prevent it. Or maybe it's even that this whole time it was telling us anyways that Aziraphale was bound to become Supreme Archangel. Or maybe it's just because this episode is about grave robbing, digging up the bodies that died and using them for a new purpose (also considering the grave robbing episode takes place in the early 1800s, before this piece was composed but still) and the piece is actually just to set the tone of the episode. Or maybe it's different all together.
Either way, I think it's important to note the piece he's listening to and the story the piece tells and it's relevance to the story as a whole.
someone please listen to naked by james arthur and try and tell me that isnt literally aziraphale and crowley in the s2 finale
I was inspired to make a Good Omens meme so here you go. (I do not listen to K-pop so if this isn't even them in the picture, please don't kill me-)
