and another thing… idk about you guys but my crowley and aziraphale are a demon and an angel, enemies to friends to situationship to almost-lovers, a 6,000 year slowburn. and they were fully shaped by the fact that they are supernatural beings, and by all their shared experiences, good and bad. that crowley and aziraphale have now semi-canonically been snapped out of existence, they have *never* even existed in this universe, they were basically book of lifed, the very punishment that was a threat in s2. and no weird ooc human au can ever be them because what they’ve been through and what they’ve learned is so much of who they are
one thousand percent. We literally had a season about this - was Jim Gabriel? Was Jim responsible for Gabriel's choices? The decision was NO, he shouldn't actually throw himself out the window, WITHOUT HIS MEMORIES HE WAS NO LONGER THE PERSON HE'D BEEN BEFORE.
