#try to protect humanity by egging on a bunch of 12 year olds again?

[saryasy]

it's funny. I keep making all these posts defending Aziraphale and it's because there's this annoying trend in the fandom to villainize him while simultaneously woobifying Crowley, so there's a need for more Aziraphale perspective

but I was thinking, if we stopped looking at fandom for a minute, and just regarded Aziraphale as a character, how would I criticize him or his choices?

then I realized I wouldn't cos my wife did nothing wrong in her life

#joking? ish? #idk man #like the biggest sticking points are what? #he wanted to change crowley and he abandoned crowley #both of which are just wrong #there was never another option for aziraphale #if you look closely at his character arc you'd realize so #he's a protector first and foremost #but alright you say he shouldn't have gone back to heaven anyway #and what? #try to protect humanity by egging on a bunch of 12 year olds again? #stand by and watch other angels be horribly treated? #and watch humans' lives be toyed with? #like seriously what was he supposed to do? #im genuinely asking here. #even if he didn't offer to change crowley even if crowley could tag along to help him #while remaining a demon #CROWLEY STILL WOULDN'T HAVE SAID YES #so. the solution is for him to just sit tight? and watch the world end when he could've stopped it from a position of power? #yeah great #maybe i wasn't joking after all #sary rants
