What happened to Aziraphale and Crowley between 1941 and 1967?
Tumblr media
It is well known by the fandom that Aziraphale realizes he’s in love with Crowley after Crowley saves him and his books from the n4zis in 1941. That moment marks the shift of their relationship, when Aziraphale sees that not only did Crowley know him well enough to save his books, but also was there for the sole purpose of rescuing him - because he cared. This moment led to their most romantic adventure yet, which involved the car “is there anything i can do for you in return?” scene, the magic trick performance, the “trust me” moment and a very intimate, private, candlelit dinner.
They had crossed a very visible line in their relationship, you could see it in the way they were looking at each other, being more open, talking and drinking together. They were acting romantically towards each other, even if they couldn’t admit it or talk about it.
But then, the next time we see them, it’s almost like they moved backwards in they’re relationship. Aziraphale is practically unable to look directly at Crowley when he first gets in the car. And then we get the iconic, yet heartbreaking and confusing “you go too fast for me, Crowley”. And you can see that Aziraphale looks almost mournful after saying that.
Tumblr media
I saw a post on twitter comparing the two car scenes - the one where Aziraphale is practically throwing himself at Crowley and then the one where he’s hesitant towards him.
And it made me think. Like, whatever happened between those two car scenes has an impact that lasts for many years, as we can CLEARLY see that 2008 Aziraphale and Crowley were still a bit colder and more distant than their 1941 selves. Their relationship backtracked a lot from that candlelit dinner. And i don’t think that’s a plot hole, i truly think there’s something we don’t know yet.
Tumblr media
Of course, after the events of season one, they’re back to being really close, their dynamic is pretty much restored and we can see them hold hand in the bus - which David Tennant has confirmed happened, and it is heavily implied that Aziraphale stays at Crowley’s that night, where they did the body swap for the trials.
Tumblr media
BUT! In the first episode of Season 2, Aziraphale mentions that he had to do the “i’m sorry” dance in 1941. It definitely happened after that candlelit dinner, so could that event - which led to the apology dance - be connected to why they had a temporary falling out? What was it that happened after that dinner? Are we going to see more from 1941?
It has been the only time period that was shown in both seasons, and it was perhaps the most romantic and significant time they’ve spent together prior to the events of season two. Perhaps they went a little too far and weren’t prepared for that? Perhaps they’ve miscommunicated and had a big fight? I don’t know, i’m hoping our dearest @neil-gaiman has an answer for that.
Tumblr media
Also, when Crowley says “no nightingales” before kissing Aziraphale, Aziraphale seems to understand perfectly what he’s referring to. He looks absolutely crushed after Crowley says that. So it led me to believe something in the past made them associate “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” to their relationship and perhaps talk about it. And i believe that, if i am correct and they have talked about the nightingales before, it was in 1941. But then, what do I know?
I would REALLY love to see your theories as to what happened between them after that dinner, if anything at all. Also, does anyone wanna be moots? My posts have been very successful but i’m not getting followers and i really want to meet more of you.

Longwood Gardens, in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Designed and constructed by the horticultural staff of Longwood Gardens. It's one of the premier horticultural display venues in the world, was first established as an arboretum in 1798 by Joshua and Samuel Peirce.
The land and its arboretum was purchased by Pierre S. du Pont in 1906 to preserve the trees, and Mr. du Pont personally oversaw many of the improvements until the Gardens were turned over to a foundation he set up in 1946. While the exterior gardens enjoyed an international notoriety early in this century, Longwood Gardens is now equally well known for its indoor displays.

i think part of what makes the IDW Sonic supporting cast so endearing is how well they fit into the franchise as a whole. like the Archie Sonic characters were created by and large to match the SatAM continuity, which was created by and large to give context to things happening in the games because it was made at a time when audiences knew shit from fuck about these characters or their world... so those characters kinda retroactively just don't mesh with the games at all. they're adjacent to an adjacency to the main franchise, so trying to imagine them existing in the tone and context of the modern games doesn't line up.
but then you look at the IDW characters, and they are entirely, wholly made to fit into the same mold and world as the games without being redundant expies of existing characters. Surge might be "another rival to Sonic", but she fits a narrative purpose Shadow, Knuckles, and Metal Sonic completely don't; the stories you can tell with Surge and Kit are unique to them, and no other characters would fit those roles. same with Tangle and Whisper; they make the world feel lived-in, remind you that things are happening and having an impact on people whenever Sonic and co. aren't onscreen.
they also have that quality that Pit has in Smash Brawl, where they feel like they have this super storied history and evolution over the course of years that we just didn't get to see. until i actually read IDW you could've 100% convinced me the IDW-originals were all updated versions of forgotten side-characters from spin-off games like Dark Brotherhood or Rivals, and i think that says a lot about how well-conceived they all are.

Funniest element of The Locked Tomb is that the "Harrow is a scrungly wet rat" thing comes entirely from having two books of imagining her based on her personality (hissing raccoon discovered in your walls) narrated by, respectively, somebody who has a lot of reasons to mock Harrow and who in another life was responding to crushes by pulling pigtails (Gideon), and the person who hates Harrow most in the universe (Harrow). The Nona-era reveal that Harrow's actual face and body are generally considered Hot by, like, the general public is not actually new information, it's just information that the first narrator refuses to cop to until it quite literally kills her and the second narrator is constantly receiving explicitly and responding "sounds fake but OK"

Finished this little book bag!! I’m trying to trick myself into reading more by making cute little accessories :D
Pattern: For the squares I used this tutorial by ‘Just Be Crafty’ on YouTube, then kind of made up the rest as I went along, sizing it next to my regular paperback books! The method of joining the squares was one I hadn’t seen before, from this video by Lyza Walters
Yarn: The green is Stylecraft Batik in ‘Sage’, the pink is Sirdar Snuggly Baby Speckle (harder to find) in shade 121, and the white is the middle leftovers of this 'Rhubarb and Cream' twister Hobbii cake, held double, which I also doubled up with the pink to make the strap a bit sturdier!

I highly recommend local bookstores because nowhere else can you pick up a book that is no different from any other books around it, which include publications by such authors as Ursula fucking Le Guin, and discover only once you get home that it's printed in batches of 200 and doesn't even have an associated ISBN. This has happened to me multiple times, and it is the best. This is not ironic, it's the funniest experience and you really will only get this kind of appreciation and uplifting of local and small artists in indie bookstores.
And also those books will usually knock your fucking socks off.
