it’s a super short scene in the show but it says so much. crowley never does anything that really harms anyone (see: paintballs & pennies & phone lines), little of it is cruel in the ways that humans can be cruel — which makes it even more meaningful that he chooses humanity in the end. sure, he needs to drink for days to deal with it, but when he’s sober again, he stays

We’ve talked about how God would look fondly upon Aziraphale, but I think that even though Crowley’s fallen, She hasn’t forsaken him either. Crowley certainly feels entirely alone, he doesn’t fit in Hell like a demon should, and he loves an angel, but I think God is listening, and if she loves those who question then she loves Crowley too — Crowley who led humans to knowledge, Crowley who embodies free will, Crowley who speaks almost in prayer here but ultimately helps to stop the end of the world because it’s what he needs. (“It would be funny if I did the good thing…”) Crowley does the good thing, and when God narrates as a nightingale sings, it almost sounds like approval.
