crowley’s pacing around an art museum, caught in a mild anxiety spiral rambling about how the boy’s too normal and the hell hound and warlock’s birthday party etc etc, meanwhile aziraphale is just sitting there sipping wine.

“Are you going to be there?” asked the angel, nonchalantly.

nonchalantly???? absolutely ridiculous adverb. i love it. because either he’s trying to act like he’s barely interested in crowley being at the party when he very much is—that’s all he’s been thinking about actually, he can’t stop thinking about it, wondering what dashing little outfit crowley’s going to wear—or he’s being genuinely nonchalant about the actual topic of discussion, which happens to be armageddon. because in that moment, he cares more about going to an event with crowley than the end of the world. both options are incredibly gay.

not to mention that literally two pages later a kid calls him a faggot. surely that means nothing. and the paragraph that follows is “Aziraphale stared desperately at Crowley. As far as he was concerned, young Warlock was obviously infernally tainted, and the sooner the Black Dog turned up and they could get away from this place, the better.”

Sometimes you’re just too close to see the big picture.

❤️‍🩹 Come up, darling, let us start to heal together ❤️‍🩹

What if Aziraphale hadn't left Crowley in that dirty alleyway? What if he had helped him up and held him close?

The German subtitles revealed something that’s not in the original version!!!! Right at the end of the scene in the bar, just before the zoom in on the portrait of Terry Prachett, Asa Fell gets asked about the bookshop and he tells Anthony Crowley about Derek, the owner. The audio gets so quiet that you can’t make out the words Asa says after that.

In the English subtitle version, this is also it.

In the German version however, there is another line that continues the sentence. I’ll try to translate it:

"[Derek] persuaded me to help him when I stopped teaching."

He was a teacher! Asa Fell worked as a teacher before he worked in the bookshop!

Well I wonder why, following the ending of the non-canon Good Omens Finale

Crowley suggests Aziraphale kill the anti-Christ. Aziraphale looks sick.

“I’ve never actually killed anything before”

Good Omens finale prologue:

Aziraphale bandaging Crowley’s leg

“I’ve spent the war smiting rogue angels…”

Good Omens S2:

Beelzebub recalls Crowley to Hell and brings up extreme sanctions and the Book of Life. Crowley looks concerned but skeptical.

“That was just a fairy tale we told to frighten the cherubs…”

Good Omens finale:

Saraqael talks about the books of life and there’s a suggestion it could have been destroyed. Crowley walks around discussing the book like he’s some complete authority about it.

“No it’s impossible to destroy, it’s too well made”
