Good Omens is a gift that keeps on giving, truly. 💖

I didn't like how I drew crowley so I did some practice sketching

Isn't she a cutie? <3

Aziraphales grumpy friend

Star Crossed lovers. Opposite sides. Families are out to kill each other. Then the families are out to kill them. Forbidden. Forbidden. A forbidden, red fruit that they bite into anyway.

'tis but thy name that is my enemy

and

O it is my love! O, that she knew she were.

and

Heaven is here, where Juliet lives...

And

O, that deceit should dwell in such a gorgeous place!

And how Juliet had this elaborate and foolish plan that could have them both alive and in love. How Juliet believed it was right, foolproof, the epitome of plan perfection. How Juliet would've even succeeded maybe, if Romeo had just cried for like an hour. If Romeo was not an immature fool who'd have mourned Juliet for a while before chugging poison himself, they could've been fine, perhaps, assuming anything else didn't go wrong. Because so much could go wrong. So much can still go wrong.

But Crowley isn't Romeo and Aziraphale isn't Juliet and they're not teenagers who think they fell in love after dancing together one night. They had 6000 years of this. They've been dancing past each other for 6000 years.

The last scene feels a lot like Juliet drinking the poison, leaving Romeo behind. Romeo going mad with sorrow. He doesn't know that she has a plan. The message got lost somewhere along the way. The Clue was lost in translation.

But Crowley isn't Romeo. And no matter how much Aziraphale believes he can invoke fiction to save the day, reality doesn't work like that. You need to give the message clearly, you need to give it yourself.

Aziraphale drinking that coffee feels a lot like Juliet drinking the poison, metaphorically speaking. Juliet trusting everything else to go exactly right. Naive and hopeful and doing the only thing she thought was left to do. The only option that could see them both alive in the end. Romeo would've died after her.

But Crowley is not Romeo, is he? No he's older and smarter and he's been here before. He's descended to the deepest depth and he's risen from there. He's worked on himself to rise up from the death and darkness and depression. He will wait. He might not know that there's something that was lost in translation, something not exactly said or heard, but he'll wait.

and

It was the lark, the herald of the morn, no nightingale.

I think the Bentley started to play The Night We Met by Lord Huron. The first time it had allowed anything other than Queen.

I think Crowley didn't notice he was singing along until he was. Didn't notice he was sobbing until he was.

I had all and then most of you

Some and now none of you

Take me back to the night we met
