Shock and surprise, I'm thinking about Good Omens season 2 again. (Spoilers under the cut, this is a long one).

Specifically the scene in episode 2 at the pub, where Crowley and Aziraphale are planning on how to get Nina and Maggie together.

And I thought it was interesting the verbage Crowley used to describe his plan.

"They get trapped under a canopy together by a storm, look into each other's eyes, and realize they were made for each other".

Obviously, we all know as an audience that Maggie and Nina's relationship is essentially Crowley and Aziraphale's relationship's mirror, with Maggie standing in for Aziraphale and Nina for Crowley.

We also know, as the audience, that Crowley immediately went with this scenario as the perfect romantic scene because it directly parallels the moment he fell in love with Aziraphale.

Which is why the last bit of that phrase struck me as odd.

"Made for each other" is such a... Human expression. It's not something that Crowley, who doesn't read often and couldn't even remember the expression "like water off a duck's back" in season 1, would use unless he meant it literally.

Especially in the context of his and Aziraphale's relationship? It's fishy.

And then I thought some more and realized that, inadvertently or not, Crowley did in fact mean it literally.

I had been thinking about Crowley's Fall a lot recently, and it always really struck me as odd.

Crowley, as has been established, Fell because he questioned God's judgement in destroying the universe after 6000 years. Sure, right, sounds like God. He's been a demon since.

Aziraphale on the other hand, who has remained an angel for millions of years... Hasn't crossed God that badly at all? Not once since the beginning of Creation?

Sure, She got mad about the sword, but like, Aziraphale has done things that angels very much are not allowed to do!

He was tempted, by a demon, to eat human food (which seemingly disgusts other angels). He regularly converses with said demon and has, on multiple occasions, allowed that demon to rescue and even thwart his attempts to bring Good into the world (which She very likely saw and didn't say anything about). For fuck's sake, he and that very demon worked together and stopped the end of the world, and their only punishment was to be destroyed which they both got the other out of (and again, if She really did want them both destroyed, She very much could have done it Herself).

So why didn't She? Why has Aziraphale somehow remained in God's good graces? Why have he and Crowley seemingly avoided Her wrath time after time after time?

I can't say for sure, but I have a feeling that it's part of, for lack of better terms, Her Ineffable Plan. She created Aziraphale and Crowley, forced Crowley out of Heaven, did away with him, and then put them both on Earth, for reasons I'm not entirely clear on and don't want to even begin to speculate on.

So, yes Crowley. It would be great if our two protagonists realized they were, with no exaggeration or metaphor, literally made for each other, wouldn't it?

But it's clear it has something that relies on Crowley and Aziraphale's relationship as a demon and an angel. She cast out Crowley for the minor-est offence the second She got the chance and now turns a blind eye to every single sin Aziraphale commits (and there are quite a lot of them, like. A shit ton. It's astounding) because She needs them to be on "opposite sides". I'd be willing to bet good money that She is the reason Aziraphale of all angels was the one passing by the nebula when Crowley was working on it. After all, it is awfully convenient that the only angel we know for certain would let slip something like "By the way your work is going to be meaningless in less than 10,000 years because God is going to destroy the universe" to the angel literally in charge of designing and creating that universe, who also coincidentally is one of the few, what, thousand angels that would be so ballsy as to say "I could run Heaven 1000 times better than God"?

GOOD OMENS S2 SPOILERS

I WARNED U

they really had us in episodes 1-5 Ngl. The scene where azi puts his hand on Crowley chest in the pub, when they have dinner together in 1941 and talk about how they trust each other, the scene where Aziraphale was helping a seemingly drunk Crowley, the dancing, the look azi gave him when he said “you came back”

I was Like“this hasn’t been sad at all yay!” And then I got to the part where azi was talking to the metatron and Maggie and Nina were talking to Crowley and I was like “oh my gosh! There about to get together” and the bam. My heart shattered and I started BAWLING my eyes out LIKE UNCONTROLLABLY.

I for a hot sec thought maybe azi was gonna change his mind after the kiss or suddenly see Crowley was right but HE DIDNT.

And dude let me tell you I watched those whole credits screaming “SAY SIKE RN” or “NO STOP AZI NO”

anyways I’m bawling my eyes out, Neil this season was so fucking good, let’s hope season 3 comes out sooner than season 2 did
