Hufflepuff on the HMS Johnlock

『 So, how do you two know each other? 』

to me, they both know that even though crowley is a bit upset, he’s also being a bit performative here. a big old lovely drama queen. first of all, he could have slept in the bookshop any time he wanted to. but he was waiting for his ex to visit and see how miserable he is.

second of all, crowley has positioned himself very dramatically, lying like that. he’s waiting for someone (aziraphale) to see. and when aziraphale talks to him, he nags and turns to his side. like a teenager woken up by mom on a saturday morning.

they immediately go back into their bickering mode, as we know and love them. yes there are tensions and things they need to say to each other. but both trust that they will, there’s an underlying trust in each other’s love there, even if they’re fighting. like an old married couple.

crowley is stroppy and says go away and close the door. planting the idea in aziraphale’s mind to check out the book shop so he can go see how well crowley took care of it. aziraphale leaves and like a child needing attention, crowley follows him there.

it’s a sort of game between them, or more like, their relationship of push and pull is completely familiar to them, like riding a bike. there is genuine conflict, and there are serious topics to address, and yes crowley did feel a bit abandoned but so did aziraphale. they know they are both right and wrong, there’s a grey here, and that they will find their way to each other eventually.

The finger kiss has my heart aching and inspiring me to redraw my old art with a new setting.

He's God, isn't he? Part of the "triune godhead." Then we could have gotten a completely different version of the scene in the bookshop, one where Jesus defends the world he knows and the people he's met and the things he learned (in his short time back on Earth) about love and generosity and helping people become better people. 

Maybe Aziraphale and Crowley ask him to create a world without angels and demons. Maybe he says, but aren't they people too? Can't they learn about love, and generosity, and helping people become better people? Of course they can. Look at the two of you.

And we could have gotten a beautiful mirror to the end of Season 1, where Christ does the same exact thing as the Antichrist, where he doesn't destroy the world but puts it back just the way it was. Even slightly better. 

Also I wanted to meet the holy ghost part of the triune godhead. They could've been hilarious. Literal person in sheet pleas! They don't really look like that. They're just doing it as a bit, for all eternity. But when he takes his sheet off he's played by this guy:
