THE AWNING OF A NEW AGE - PT 1 of 3

And it’s just such an act of love to me, a reminder that all Aziraphale has ever wanted is for Crowley to be safe, to keep him from being hurt or discorporated or, worse, destroyed. And now he gets to make that a reality himself.

I don't understand it. I doubt I ever will. How do you see happiness here? How do you look at our angel and not see how devastated he is? How do you reconcile this heart breaking before your eyes to claim this is a happy ending? And please think before you come at with me with "not being able to be together is part of why they chose to allow their universe to end, so that they would be free to love each other." How exactly did they choose that, then? With all that big juicy free will they don't have? At best. At the very best. Crowley has just given up. And because of that, this time, he says what he thinks Aziraphale wants to hear - "I choose the world." At worst, Crowley has just given up. And because of that, this time, he says "I don't choose you." Either way, Aziraphale hears both, loud and clear. Either way, GO3 Crowley is willing to sacrifice Aziraphale for a hypothetical. Which neither S1, S2, or Book Crowley would have ever considered in the realm of possibility. This isn't character development. This isn't a role reversal. This isn't selfless love. This is characters being written into a corner and the universe being written into oblivion.

He looks so heartbroken at the end there but basically throughout the whole film. The angel, my angel who is full of joy and hope and whimsy and silliness. We are told he’s not enough. He is told he’s not enough.

It wouldn't have been enough even if he stayed after S2 because they would have died or worse anyway. But still. He is the bad one and he can't apologise enough and he can never have Crowley. Or deserve him.

S3 decides that the world they live in is unredeemable anyway and with that, so is everything they are and everything that happened in the world before.

How can the writers call this a love story with a straight face and then kill the lovers who never got to kiss or hold one another. Or even feel understood.

I cannot look at that moment because it makes my blood go cold and my extremities sink into a pit. It's like seeing my favourite... Well, it's like seeing Aziraphale broken. I never wanted that and never expected it of the promised happy ending for Good Omens. You know, the one where they retire together to the South Downs... Instead we see every single character trample the Angel who tried to save everyone and fix things so they could work. He, who developed techniques to fix human inventions, help the needy, and created a safe haven of a world for everyone to live without hate. At the very least on Whickber Street. He, who did so much and got no fucking recognition for it, let alone thanks, from the characters, the writing, or anything, has to take deep breaths and not solve this problem that clearly had resolutions available. He has to pretend one more time that he's fine, actually, with the injustice and pain he's feeling.

There is no way anyone can look at this expression, and say that this is the face of someone who wanted to give up his life for the „real universe”.

Like, I just can’t stop thinking about the fact Aziraphale got coerced by God into commiting suicide.

at some point neil gaiman and terry pratchett wrote these up and they’re very good

Crowley:

Resolution #1: I must accept that Super-Gluing valuable coins to the sidewalk and then watching events from a nearby café is not proper demonic activity.

Resolution #2: The same applies to rearranging the letters on wayside pulpits.

Resolution #3: Try to come up with something as good as cell phone ringtones, following one last stab at convincing Downstairs that cell phone ringtones are right up there in the whole Human Misery stakes. And iPods. Has anybody Down There even said thank you for iPods? Or “Googling yourself?” Frankly, I deserve some kind of award for “Googling yourself.”

Resolution #4: I must encourage greedy people to use the term, “Low-hanging fruit,” because that’s just like old times.

Resolution #5: This year, I will get a desk near the window.

Resolution #6: I will try to understand why Hell is a no-smoking area. I just think it’s ridiculous having to stand around outside the gates, that’s all.

Resolution #7: On the orders of Head Office I will encourage the belief in Intelligent Design, because it upsets everyone.

Resolution #8: Stop Googling myself.

Aziraphale:

Resolution #1: Spread peace and love and glad tidings of great joy throughout the world. Also try to get out more.

Resolution #2: I will be charitable to people who use the term “core values,” however difficult this may be.

Resolution #3: Notwithstanding Resolution #2 (above), I will redouble my efforts to have the utterance of the phrase “core values” classified as a deadly sin. I believe Himself is with me on this one.

Resolution #4: I will try to be nicer to the customers. They want to buy books; I want to sell them. It can’t be that hard. (Memo to self: Regular opening hours? Mark prices on books?)

Resolution #5: I will try to be polite to Gabriel, no matter what the provocation.

Resolution #6: Find out exactly what an “Internet” is.

Resolution #7: Really must resume dancing lessons. Learn the “Galloping Major,” the “Gay Gordons,” the “Mashed Potatoes.” Possibly even the “Twist”?

Resolution #8: Thwart Infernal Wiles (ongoing).

Resolution #9: I will try to understand why Heaven is a non-smoking area.

Resolution #10: On the orders of Head Office I will encourage the belief in Intelligent Design – despite the fact that the human airway crosses the digestive tract. Who thought that was intelligent?

Resolution #11: Feed the ducks.

“You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire.

This is my canon ending. I decided so.

👋 Bye!

Nina: "She's not embarrassing herself, she's- she's braver than anyone I know."

She stands up for her. She tries to protect her, refuses to let someone talk about Maggie like that. She doesn't just stand there and watch, she does whatever she can to defend her, even though she's a regular human being and these creatures threatening her, Maggie, and Mr. Fell are very clearly not.

And what does Crowley do when God starts dragging Aziraphale through the mud?

What. The. Hell. Is. That.

He just... shifts his gaze from God to Aziraphale with this cold... expectation and... indifference? This dark, detached look? Aziraphale is obviously hurt by what's being said, and Crowley just... stands there, leaning against that damned bookshop pillar, looking at him as if he deserves to hear it. Like, "Well? What do you have to say to that?"

It just gets under my skin. It's unbearable. It's revolting.

That is NOT Crowley.

Crowley would NOT stand by while someone said things like that about his angel right in front of him.

This is NOT the Crowley who, when he thought Aziraphale had died for good, lost every shred of hope and every desire to save the world, and instead went off to get drunk because, without Aziraphale, he saw no point in enjoying Earth or any of its little pleasures.

Aziraphale is the most important person in his life. The person closest to him. Crowley has risked his own life for him over and over again. He is his first, only, and best friend. His light, his hope, his love.

Just being around Aziraphale always lifts his spirits, even when he's irritated or upset.

Aziraphale means the world to him.

And when Crowley played Aziraphale at the end of Season 1, he portrayed him exactly the way he sees him: brave, courageous, smiling even in the face of danger and death, compassionate, forgiving, and full of faith.

Crowley sees the best parts of Aziraphale: his courage, his resilience, his unwavering commitment to his principles even when it threatens his own existence or well-being; his faith in something better; his ability to find light in the deepest darkness; his ability to smile at people who, for centuries, have treated him terribly.

And the fact that Crowley reacts to God's words about his angel with such coldness and indifference...

It destroys me.

I don't know who you are, or why the hell you look like our Crowley.

And let's not forget that throughout most of Season 2 he relentlessly bullied Gabriel and practically drove him toward a window just because Gabriel once told his only friend to shut up and die.

Nice try, Anthony…

Incorrect Good Omens Quotes Masterpost Part 2 : here

an angel, whose purpose is to serve and devote themselves to god, who can’t love anything more than them. an angel saying that he feels complete not only by another being (which is already huge) but by a demon !!!

i can’t imagine a greater love confession, not from aziraphale, who always tried—even forced himself—to have faith in god’s plan and intentions, to serve her blindly and to be on her side and her side only.

aziraphale, who barely dared to speak to her when asked, now standing his ground at the boundaries of a universe that already ceased to exist, with nothing left to lose, and nothing left to fight for. speaking up for himself, blaming god for his own misery, for creating someone so perfect for him but never letting him live that love openly and freely. they spent 6000 years dancing around each other, pretending they weren’t an us, because he couldn’t go against the ineffable plan, against his purpose as an angel, against god. meanwhile, god didn’t care at all.

and now here they are, god, satan, aziraphale and his other half, one step away from eternal nothingness, from complete and cruel erasure. and here he is, this angel who in his lord’s face confesses his love and devotion to the one who actually inspired him, who showed him what pure kindness and selfless, unconditional and stubborn love really look like. not the almighty herself, but crowley. the best of god’s angels according to aziraphale, and probably the one who was hurt by her the most.
