I just saw a post on my dash about how Crowley has anger issues and treats Aziraphale badly/belittled him throughout season 2 and I’m like. No hate to this person at all, but were we watching the same show? The one where, when Crowley got too angry to communicate rationally, he stepped away so he wouldn’t hurt Aziraphale before coming back and helping against his better judgement? The one where he could not refuse Aziraphale, who would not listen to Crowley’s plans and concerns nor respect his boundaries? The one where Aziraphale, intentionally or not, told Crowley that his existence was inherently wrong and that he will never be enough (saying “we [heaven] are the good guys”)? The one where, intentionally or not, he made Crowley think that his love, his desire for Aziraphale, was wrong and needed forgiveness?
Does Aziraphale know the extent of Crowley’s history with heaven? No. Should they communicate better? Absolutely. On both sides. But Crowley obviously has a disdain for heaven and hell for reasons beyond “angel vs demon, good vs bad”. Aziraphale saying that if Crowley becomes an angel again he will be good just flat out invalidates every bit of good Crowley has done throughout their 6000+ years together. It’s saying that Crowley will not be enough unless he ascends to stand amongst the very people who cast him out in the first place.
I don’t hate Aziraphale nor do I think he intended to hurt Crowley. But the fact of the matter is that Crowley has bent over backwards this season for Aziraphale. This is his second Fall, in my opinion.
He made the stars and loved them so much that losing them before they even got a chance to live was unthinkable to him. He “asked questions” aka made that plea for God to spare the stars and the Earth, and was cast out for it. He was cast out for love.
He met Aziraphale and loved him so much, wanted to keep what they had together so much, that he was willing to cut off all ties to both Heaven and Hell. He asked Aziraphale to stay with him because Heaven and Hell are toxic to say the least, something they’ve both seen first hand. He was rejected, then told that his love was something that needed forgiveness. He was, again, cast out for love.
Idk, but I think Crowley deserves to be a little angry.
