forget my own head next

👸 Find the Lady ♥️

The Queen of Hearts card can stand for loyalty or soul-deep connections and I think that fits our lads pretty well 🥰

Today I choose violence.

Or…Aziraphale does.

You want to study abroad? Show us proof that there is a quadrillion dollars in your bank account. Oh, an average monthly salary in your country is $400 and you plan to work when you arrive? You can't do that, silly, a student visa only allows you to work 2 hours every third Wednesday, and if we find out that you're working a second more we will deport you.

You want to work abroad? Better be a programmer, then of course you are welcome. Doctor, scientist, white-collar or, god forbid, blue-collar worker? You can fuck right off, your visa application goes straght into trash.

You will have to prove that you can afford a guest, have some income and also usually take responsibility for possible deportation cost.

But if you really are inviting a friend over, they will give you a formal document you can send to your friend. Then the friend applies for a visa while attaching the Very Official document with it. They will get the Schengen visa and most probably will get it expedited too.

- What did you even tell that artist?

- I wasn't...I didn't!!! I was simply trying to get Gabriel off our backs by-by planting evidence of our rivalry!

- Uh-huh

- I didn't think they'd draw me looking like a strongman!! Or...or quite so hairless...

I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed You fascinate me so

I think it's the opposite, actually.

Yes, Aziraphale is an angel, he loves, that’s what he does. But he’s not supposed to love a demon. Because of what he is, of who he is, he struggled with his feelings for Crowley for millennia. And yet, each time they met, he made the choice to speak with him, to protect him, to stay, to bond - to love.

In a universe in which angels and demons are supposed to be hereditary enemies, an angel chose a demon, over and over again (with a few notable exceptions, but we all know why - and he still loved him).

Messy? Oh, yes.

Silly? How can such a relationship, built on trust and affection, be silly?

God should NOT have approved of their relationship. Thats what made it so appealing to the viewers, right? That they weren't supposed to be together. That literally everything, from the structures surrounding them down to their literal particles as a holy and unholy being, was trying to keep the two sides apart ("angel... demon... probably explode") and that they were the only two cogs in the machine that malfunctioned and DECIDED to love each other. There wasn't some string of fate connecting them (fuck you neil gaiman). We call them ineffable husbands because their love was something hard to understand and impossible to put into words. And they were always uncertain about it, they were always scared. ESPECIALLY AZIRAPHALE! But they CHOSE this love.

It would have been so much more powerful if God had told him that She disliked his love for Crowley and Aziraphale stood his ground and said "and so what?" We could have had a scene in which they choose each other over their oppressors. Instead, God planned everything and their love, that was interesting because it was unwanted, strange, unpredictable by Heaven and Hell became the goal, the norm across universes, the prediction. Oh they were actually soulmates all along. Who find each other in every universe because a higher being wants them together.
