Sometimes I think about how liberating that moment must have been for Aziraphale:

Like yeah, scary too, I'm not trying to paint Aziraphale's experience in Hell as some kind of a fun trip.

But also.

Angel spent most of his existence (since Before the Beggining!) fearing something would happen to Crowley. With a big part of this 'something' coming from the very fact of them being close - can you imagine living with the knowledge that you are one of the reasons why your loved one is perpetually in a mortal danger?

And here? Aziraphale has a chance to change it. Maybe not forever (though I think Aziraphale would want to believe it is possible), but for a while for sure.

Scare all of Hell's demons away from Crowley. Make Michael of Heaven aware that holy water won't work on him. Convince everybody that Crowley has a lot, a lot more to offer, and he's the one to be feared. Make people who might hurt Crowley- Beelzebub, Hastur, Dagon, Michael - agree to left him alone for foreseeable future.

Can you imagine - living with a fear so big that it has become basically a part of your identity, and then get a chance to laugh the sources of that fear in their faces? Break away from that constant feeling of terror and hopelessness, believe that you can finally save your loved one in a way that matters most to you?

Yes, it didn't last long - for 4 years at most. Then all that happened in S2 made it clear they won't be left alone by their higher-ups, and that their de facto partnership is still something that can be used to put a collar of fear on angel.

But that exact moment? I think it was everything for Aziraphale.

#good omens #aziraphale #ineffable husbands #good omens season 2 #I also think it was what influenced his S2 behavior the most #as that fear was something that was slowing down their relationship for millenia #and then that fear just got resolved - at least for Aziraphale #well #before it turned out it wasn't resolved at all of course

how many times does neil gaiman have to specifically refuse to Word-Of-God anything before y'all take the hint—

he is the biggest supporter of fandom that there is, his own and in the broadest of senses. "is [x] canon?" is such an easily answerable question given that he has answered it twenty five times on one tumblr account. so, to reiterate, again, on his behalf:

book canon is stated in the book. tv canon is shown on screen.

anything that neil has said about his own characters outside of that specific and clearly laid out guideline is considered his own headcanon and opinion. there is no wrong or right version of aziraphale or dream or coraline. however you have decided to personalize these characters to help you love them does not make them any less real. Your Crowley is yours, and he is just as real as Neil's Crowley.

stop worrying. genuinely. you don't have to go searching for canon in the various gaimanverses because it's all been laid out in front of you since inception. you're all fine.

in neil's own words (possibly paraphrased as i don't have the post in front of me): "your characters are safe, and no one is going to take them away from you." not even neil.

#i know that this is the influence of too much word-of-godding from the 2010s #we were all young and impressionable #but please relish in this #the safest and most straight forward fandom in the world #neil gaiman #good omens #ineffable husbands #aziraphale #crowley #the sandman #coraline #american gods #anansi boys #stardust #the ocean at the end of the lane #etc etc we all know what he's written

[p4nishers]

no bc this must be after the show cause the theater is literally empty and crowley looks fucking miserable and what if it's an actual confession/almost confession scene where aziraphale is telling him that even if there were unspoken feelings between them it would be dangerous to act on it bc of heaven and hell's prying eyes and he's not willing to risk losing crowley to them and crowley just stares at him with his heart breaking

#or not. i read a fic recently that was kinda similar to this scenario and its influencing my brain #(the fic was 'these furious passions these chances by ark on ao3 btw if anyone wants to know) #anyway since im unshakable in my theory that shit goes down romantically between them in 1941 im desperately speculation bc otherwise id #go insane #good omens #good omens s2 #good omens speculation #good omens season 2 #azicrow #ineffable husbands

Is Aziraphale an Accidental War-Monger?

Aziraphale mentions three years in which he was compelled to do the “I Was Wrong” dance. The three years he lists (1650, 1793, and 1941) were all years during which historically significant wars occurred. I submit that Aziraphale contributed to events leading to the wars. That he did these things against the advice of Crowley, who either told him it would backfire, or simply said to let it be. And when he and Crowley met up after the events unfolded to result in war, Crowley said, “I told you so” and demanded the dance.

See some theories below the cut, and please feel free to continue the discourse if you are more knowledgeable in these areas of history. I think there could be so many good theories out there for people more learned than myself.

1650 | The Anglo-Scottish war / The English Third Civil War

Oliver Cromwell, a prominent figure in this war, was pretty zealous. Maybe Aziraphale thought that a staunchly religious man like Cromwell would make righteous and just decisions, only later to find that zealotry wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Or maybe he tried to avoid conflict altogether by convincing the northern leader, David Leslie, to fall back and refuse to fight. Either way, a war started. 

1793 | The French Revolution / War of the First Coalition

What if Aziraphale influenced people in the French government to assist with the American revolution, thinking it was a noble cause to help out this burgeoning nation with ideals of “liberty and equality.” The debt France incurred by allying against the British contributed to the political instability eventually leading to the war. 

1941 | World War 2

Maybe Aziraphale was influential in the drafting of the Treaty of Versailles and convinced them to put in Article 231; a controversial article of the treaty requiring that Germany accept legal responsibility for WW1. In an effort to convince people to take responsibility for their actions, he may have inadvertently created something later used to radicalize german sentiment and fuel fascism leading to WW2.

2023

He blew up his halo fighting the demons in the bookshop which could constitute an act of war.

Post Script Disclaimer: The above is a comedy-based analysis based on the concept of folly. This is not an attack on Aziraphale’s character, just an analysis on what I think would be excellent comedy writing.

Okay, but if I don’t see Jesus Christ on a motorbike in season three I think I might cry.

#please feel free to ignore me #I am currently under the influence of rum #I do think this would be cool though #like Crowley and Jesus sitting on a motorbike together #and aziraphale sitting in a little side car #scared out of his mind #if someone wants to draw that I think it would be cool #the three of them trying to escape something or other #ya know? #anyways #ignore me #good omens #aziraphale #crowley #ineffable husbands #Jesus #jesus fucking christ #on a motorbike #season 3 #good omens season 3

[wafffffl]

aziraphale’s actions in the last episode make so much sense when you consider that every fan’s reaction to angel!crowley has been a unanimous “OMG he’s so BABY! HE USED TO BE SO INNOCENT AND HAPPY he didn’t deserve to fall 😭😭💕” because you can bet aziraphale is exactly the same way, but without the audience’s understanding that turning crowley back isn’t going to fix it

#good omens #good omens 2 #aziraphale #crowley #angel!crowley #good omens 2 spoilers #mine #the coffee theory is valid but i think aziraphale’s choices already make sense on their own #+ obviously this is only one influence in his decision the other is Religious Trauma #good omens spoilers #ineffable husbands

It just occurred to me, and I’m sure I’m not the first person to point this out, that GO3 is perfectly set up to be the mirror opposite of season 1

The world is coming to an end, but this time, Aziraphale is the one who has to convince Crowley to work with him and that Their Side is worth fighting for. He’ll finally have to declare affirmatively that he and Crowley belong on their own side together, as opposed to hiding behind the pretense that Crowley is just dragging him along, because for the first time ever Crowley isn’t going to chase him down

#i’m an aziraphale apologist and will have no aziraphale hate on this post #but he does have a lot of growth to do #that I’m fully confident s3 will deliver #it’s almost like fictional characters have flaws that influence their actions in order to create plot #go2 spoilers #good omens #good omens 2 #go3 predictions #ineffable husbands

Oh wait lol.

The way they kept in the 1601 Globe meeting where Crowley says he doesn't like Shakespeare's gloomy ones.

The way he prefers the funny ones because despite all the miscommunication and heartbreak, well, All's Well That Ends Well.

The way their final conversation in the present day was just misunderstanding after misunderstanding. The way he doesn't know if their's will end up being a tragedy or comedy.
