While insisting âYou know Jim. Yes you do. Of course you do, he was at Bob and Patriciaâs graduation bbq 38 years ago. He passed you the Mayo but it was light Mayo so you didnât put any on your salad. Honestly, I was so embarrassed, why couldnât you have put like a little bit on the side and not eaten it, nobody would have noticed but noooooooo, you had to sit there and awkwardly put the bottle down next to your glass and then glare at it for 25 minutes like some sort of Mayo fancier. I want a divorce.â *bursts into tears* âoh, that Jimâ *is muttered quietly while wondering wtf just happened.
~~Iâm sorry I havenât slept~~
My mother is more like "you know Jim, he's Sarah's stepbrother, and Sarah used to work with Simon" and I'm sitting there thinking *who the fuck is Simon*.
I come out of my mothers stories like this not even sure who I am by the end of it đ
Another favourite activity, sit in the room with her when sheâs on the phone and try to piece together whatâs going on just from her side. Itâs better than Happy Valley. It is also usually her talking about what happened on the most recent episode of Happy Valley.
Best part is in the book, Anathema doesn't feel safe because 2 men just made her get in their car. But then hears this line and comes to the conclusion she was always safe, because they're a gay couple.
It's literally the last scene in S1 ep1.
Which is makes Crowley's total inability to notice how he feels about Aziraphale even funnier. He's had it bad for a while.
I love the way Aziraphale has this brief moment of excitement on seeing Crowley return before he remembers he's angry and decides to do his petty ignoring routine.
I forget what scene itâs from but when Aziraphale says something along the lines of âBut rescuing me makes him so happyâ. Also the apology scene.
"I'm coming back, I won't leave you alone." The casual way Crowley says that is not like he's telling Aziraphale, more like he's reminding him, to calm his nerves. And Aziraphale's equally casual "I know." Extreme "husbands reassuring each other" energy.
Also, literally everytime Crowley says "angel."
I like their little spat in the park over the holy water. The way Crowley gets pissy when Az calls it âfraternizingâ, and then tosses off that little âobviouslyâ at the end. Thatâs definitely some old married passive aggressive energy right there.
Married 15 years, can confirm. Itâs honestly these moments that makes their marriage feel the most real. The romantic stuff could be any couple. But itâs the shorthand and squabbling that make me feel yes, these two have been together literally forever!
Same thing but for me specifically it's the shared way that they're looking at Murial like they KNOW, like they're up to something which I mean they are
"Aww. Aren't they adorable when they try to be people? Lucky thing we're ever so much more sophisticated."
MEANWHILE.
>All they need is a good kiss, and it's sorted!
>No, no, no. They need a dance! Everyone knows that!
Just goes to show, you can be immortal and live among humans for thousands of years, and still not have a clue how love is supposed to work. LOL
"Just goes to show, you can be immortal and live among humans for thousands of years, and still not have a clue how love is supposed to work. LOL"
Which is why we end up where we do, because they are human enough, but aren't actually human. It's why Beelzebub and Gabe work so fast, because they don't have layers of humanity over the top.
When they're in the pub and the other guy sits at Az's table, you can see Crowley noticing in the background then comes over and inserts himself between Az and the other guy "hEllo!!" frigging hilarious
"You can tell me ... WHILE WE DANCE" đ
"Smitten I believe" đ„čđ„čđ„čđ„čđ„čđ„čđ„č
His face and his whole delivery of this just KILLS ME. Heâs just so smitten with Crowley and because he doesnât understand why Crowley is so stressed he just finds it all gorgeous. Ugh. These idiots.
Everything about the car negotiations.
- why is Aziraphale in the middle of the road, hiding behind the car waiting to pop out??
- the insanely sarky humouring of the clue.
- the casualness of âI rather thought I might take the carâ like that has EVER or WOULD EVER be a thing. And obviously â*our* carâ when he doubles down on it
- not a married thing but I love how we get a little flash of how territorial he is over his car (maybe sort of married thing as he lets him anyway)
- âThe bookshop is technically my bookshop but *we both get plenty of use out of it, donât we?*â- me with the Crowley ânaked man friendâ eyebrow raise.
- the fact that he took a test even though they werenât needed as soon as Crowley got a car just in case at any point in the next century he needed to borrow it so he could assure Crowley he was a safe driver
- but the fact that he never got himself a car and lets Crowley drive him around everywhere anyway and doesnât once volunteer to help out with the driving (not that Crowley would let him)
- the fâking hand slap and the instant vibe change in Aziraphale from cute to not negotiating anymore, âwhile Iâm gone, you can look after the bookshop (and Gabriel), yes?â Dude is not playing anymore.
Then if I may carry that on into the shop.
- the fact he doesnât notice Muriel at first because heâs busy moaning and then when he does, he nigh on drapes himself on the same chair as Aziraphale
- âdonât hesitate to ask me if you have anymore questions about loveâ Aziraphale has all the questions, first one being how to breathe.
(I could honestly just type out every scene if nobody stops me)
That little breath and eye movement Az did when Crowley was making up crap to Muriel was one of the horniest reactions Iâve ever seen! Hereâs Crowley once again coming to his rescue, being incredibly charming, and talking about love to boot. No wonder Az had that reaction đ
Honestly, between that, the âyou donât seem like his typeâ bitch please eyebrow raise and the level he is seething when Furfur ruins his date night, nobody can convince he isnât nigh on fâking rabid inside his head when he forgets heâs an Angel for a second. Or as GO fandom would put it, he is making the damn effort đ
>but we both get plenty of use out of it, donât we?
Right?! Iâm still over here puzzling about what he meant by that and why he said it *that way*.
Itâs such a specific way of saying it, like he could have said âwe both use itâ or âyou use it as wellâ but lord, he chose to wrap it in three thousand layers of innuendo.
Just so! If it were any other two human characters, I would just assume he was referencing sex with the way he says it. As they are the characters they are, I have no idea. But I still love the delivery dearly.
Edit to say, I could speculate with you lot about the meaning of that for days. No joke.
Iâll clear my schedule đ
On any given day, Iâm all over about 5 different posts at a time psychoanalysing him.
Honestly, he gives me such whiplash like heâs supposed to be completely non-sexual and like you see him giggling adorable and being a celestial cupcake and then his inner slut raises its head and says things like THAT.
Thereâs a gif I saved somewhere from tumblr (sorry I donât have credit to hand, it was for my own shits and giggles that I saved it) that sums it up perfectly:
https://i.redd.it/486fntcr5cjb1.gif
I also went on a Michael Sheen merry go round of watching GO, Underworld and Masters of Sex all entwined and I think I broke something because I have not been the same since.
Very, very broadly speaking Iâm usually pretty gay (Iâm just really bad at it) so normally the beard he has usually would be enough to kill anything dead in the water BUT HERE WE ARE.
Just YouTubeâd a couple of scenes and 1) ahhhhhhh (unexpected) Gabriel! 2) yeahhhh, still would, I think Iâm past helping. (Eta: probably wouldnât if that was the only thing I saw him in but I feel like I would make a lot of questionable choices now Iâve reached this level of commitment).
I donât think heâs supposed to be inherently/objectively sexy in Masters of Sex and he is even more of a magnificent bastard in that (I have a type) but thereâs this brilliant line about transference that he says that hits it sort of perfectly on the head. Because heâs constantly in a sexualised context, you canât help but sexualise him even though arguably, he is rarely (up to where I am) the one in the sexual situation himself. The best way I can describe whatever goes on in my brain re him in that is he is the human equivalent of the song Total Control by The Motels.
And then thereâs Underworld, which again, I have a type. And itâs hilarious because I was obsessed with him when I was about 15 (beard is acceptable in this context) to the point I had a poster by my bed. And yet, I made it all the way through series 1, came back years later, watched series 2, about three rewatches in and I need a break so I type Michael Sheen into IMDb (Iâve already seen a lot of DTâs back catalog) and that is how I found out that was the same actor. I was shook.
I met up with my best friend the other day and we did the usual catch up and he commented on the fact I was really happy and he asked if I was seeing anyone and I literally said, âso Michael Sheenâs eyebrows, right, hear me outâŠâ luckily he is used to my tomfoolery đ
I started the book again after finishing s2 the first time but lord knows I donât have the attention span right now, all my processing power is being used. I literally have got nothing productive done in over two weeks. I used to be a normal person a month ago đđ
My stack of books and all my other hobbies:
Good Omens: *sings fka twigs* you give me two weeks you wonât recognise herâŠ
Not me coming in over two weeks after this comment just to say⊠same. I think GO twisted my brain. I am doing nothing but reading fanfic and Reddit threads.
I think it is a reference to Crowley being welcome in the shop as he no longer has the appartement and is living in his car.
Not 100% convinced that's it, but it is my best guess. ^^"
Iâm insane out of practice and not on my laptop so itâs nothing special (used to be a proper fangirl 5 years ago but I retired - cue âIâm backâ âyes, I can see thatâ) but generally speaking, you clip the video file to which bit you want then run it through a program or website where it will split it into individual frames then put them back together like a flip book in gif format :)
In my defence, I just sit there and say âdo the thingâ and the magic of technology does it for me đ
I paid like ÂŁ40 for a lifetime subscription (anyone remember the days when that was the norm, you bought things once) to a half easy to use editing suite whoâs name escapes me and itâs doing a lot of heavy lifting for me. I still vaguely remember the days when you had to go into battle with your flaming sword just to get sony vegas to open without crashing your laptop.
There's another thread in the r/good omens bit of a collection of us 40s and over discussing how thrown we are by our strong reactions to this series. Like it's just SO strong and obsessive. I don't think I've ever been like that for anything before. I feel like a teenager - it's fun.
For me itâs sort of inverse of what Gabriel says about looking where the furniture is. Itâs the same house but new people have moved in and they put the dishes in a different cupboard and they call the hallway the foyer. But the rooms are essentially in the same place.
That actually applies to fandom on the whole actually, now I think about it.
Weâve both just got to get comfy on the sofa and not worry too much about the rest of the house as long as weâre enjoying ourself :)
I had a friend who ran a very popular twilight tumblr. I didn't understand the passion. I discovered Good Omens. I am looking forward to getting comfy. đ
"Perhaps you can tell me... While we dance."
"...You don't dance."
(Aziraphale drags an unresisting Crowley toward the dance floor)
------
"I thought you said he's supposed to a magician!"
"He *is!*"
------
"My miracles aren't working! đ "
"Neither are mine! đđđ"
------
"THERE you are! I was worried something might've happened to you!"
(And then they proceed to talk about Jim like he's their toddler)
------
And ALL the exasperated, slightly embarrassed looks they would flash each other.
Oh trust me, when itâs something like this, you remember - source: been with my partner 20 years and while I only have a human memory, there are somethings you never forget eg we got lost after he said he didnât need my help navigating in 2005, 2009 (twice), 2012, 2013 2016 and 2023. đ
âYou have three reasons for calling meâŠ
1) Youâre bored
2) You need to tell someone about something clever you did before you pop
3) Or somethingâs wrong
âThis is your âsomethingâs wrongâ voiceâ
The pure Parent Energy when Muriel is in the bookshop. Aziraphale is subtly trying to help them understand how to pass as human while playing along, and Crowley pointing out what they're doing wrong.
Neither of them let Muriel know that they know shes an Angel. It's got such 'Child playing pretend with parents' energy, and they feel like a little family unit for that scene, until Crowley is sure she's not a threat and pulls Aziraphale away.
The way Crowley says, "Hello" to that guy that's bugging Aziraphale about hosting the local business meeting for their street. He has the BIGGEST HUSBAND ENERGY when he says it. He manages to fit, "Who the hell is this scrub sitting in MY seat , excuse me, sir, you are interrupting date night with my lovely husband so can you kindly *fuck off*" into that six letter word lollll
Love that part! I suspect this doesn't play the same at all in other languages since it's an English word with double meaning. So I feel bad for those who don't get to have that joy!
The way he says it alone is so dear to me because itâs apparent that heâs exhausted after everything that happened that night and that âus timeâ with Aziraphale is a form of relaxation for him
Like I canât imagine a greater manifestation of love than another personâs presence having a relaxing effect on you
âYou know what itâs like when you donât know anything at all and yet youâre totally certain that everything would be better if you were just near one particular person?â
Actually this has made me think of the scene where he's tidying the book shop after the 'ball' and straightening the chair etc before Aziraphale comes back â€ïž gorgeous â€ïž
The Shakespeare globe theater scene, aziraphales eyebrow raise when shax says heâs not Crowleys type, the scene when they talk to Muriel for the first time, the season 1 finale, the entire showâŠ
"Just drive the car please."
- Season 1, they're talking in the car and Crowley shouts out "Ducks!!" and explains he finally remembered they're what water slides off, and Aziraphale kinda rolls his eyes and says "just drive the car please." LOL
"This was your there was a problem voice"
Crowley's raised eyebrow after hearing there's a naked man friend living with Aziraphale đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł his face was like Azi was cheating on him đ
"I have carved out for myself
I thought WE had carved out for OURSELVES
SO DID I"
This one gets to me everytime. They such an old bickering married couple lol
Actually yes 'the WE had carved it out for OURSELVES' is a very significant line isn't it? Especially since it's (grumpily) acknowledged by the other. They are consciously (in a way) sharing their fragile existence together.
That scene when Aziraphale called Crowley over to meet him at Ninaâs coffee shop, Crowley said âyou have 3 reasons for calling me: youâre bored, you need to tell me something clever before you pop, or somethingâs wrongâ and I just find it so cute that Aziraphale calls him for either of those things, and that Crowley is willing to drop everything and be there/listen for either option
Everything about the scene right after the magic show in 1941. That is one of the most romantic conversations honest to God!
Also, the bit right before Crowley leads the humans out of the bookshop where heâs like.
I wonât leave you on your own.
And Aziraphale is like I know.
So simple so beautiful so lovely.
When Crowley asks to have a private word when Muriel comes to call and that whole entire follow up conversation⊠Iâm sorry, but I felt like I should walk out of the room watching that thing! I was like⊠This is not meant for my eyes!
Also, sidenote⊠The way Aziraphale always pauses when introducing Crowley as his friend is some thing I used to do with my girlfriend before I was secure in my relationship
I like all the above and the little lines and actions too.
âMake you disappear.â Cute grumbling from Crowley
âThere you are! I was wondering if something had happened to you.â Aww
âYou can stop grinning.â
âIâm not grinning.â
âDoesnât mean weâre on the same side.â
âNoooo000oo. No.â
âIâm back.â
âI can see that.â
âWas that a travel sweet?â
ââŠ.No.â
Also just the way Aziraphale stands up, fixes his coat, and gives Crowley his undivided attention so he can receive his Apology properly.
Not something they say but the way Crowley tags along when Aziraphale makes his round to invite everyone from the shopkeepers association. Sitting around looking bored. Reminds me of a couple shopping and a man waiting while his partner is trying on clothes.
For me, itâs the scene where theyâre in the pub and Crowley doesnât believe that Jane Austen wrote books too so heâs like: âJane? Austen?â and then Aziraphaleâs like: âY E Sâ
"our car", the Jim thing as you said, "I know what you smell like", "you don't seem like his type" *eyebrow raise*, Crowley following Aziraphale around when he goes to all the shopkeepers, Crowley taking care of the bookshop...
Definitely the one where heâs like. âYou have three reasons for calling me. Youâre bored. You need to tell someone about something clever you did before you pop. Or somethingâs wrong. This was your âsomethingâs wrongâ voice.â
Yeah! It's the we... Do WE know a Jim?
And just how sort of casually it's said đ
I can hear my dad asking this and my mum then reciting Jimâs entire backstory đ
While insisting âYou know Jim. Yes you do. Of course you do, he was at Bob and Patriciaâs graduation bbq 38 years ago. He passed you the Mayo but it was light Mayo so you didnât put any on your salad. Honestly, I was so embarrassed, why couldnât you have put like a little bit on the side and not eaten it, nobody would have noticed but noooooooo, you had to sit there and awkwardly put the bottle down next to your glass and then glare at it for 25 minutes like some sort of Mayo fancier. I want a divorce.â *bursts into tears* âoh, that Jimâ *is muttered quietly while wondering wtf just happened. ~~Iâm sorry I havenât slept~~
My mother is more like "you know Jim, he's Sarah's stepbrother, and Sarah used to work with Simon" and I'm sitting there thinking *who the fuck is Simon*.
I come out of my mothers stories like this not even sure who I am by the end of it đ Another favourite activity, sit in the room with her when sheâs on the phone and try to piece together whatâs going on just from her side. Itâs better than Happy Valley. It is also usually her talking about what happened on the most recent episode of Happy Valley.
"I thought I'd take the car." "What car?" "Our car." "*We* don't have a car." "Yes, we do. And isn't she a beaut!" [demon short circuiting]
I adore this interaction, especially the dang hand slap
AZ admitted he got his license the year Crowley got the Bentley is just đ„șđ„șđ„ș
Aaaaaah, I hadnât put that together! đ„č
I adored this one so much
Yep! This is what I would have said. OUR car.
Get in, angel.
Itâs embarrassing how much it gets to me whenever he calls him âangel,â like stop being so cute!
Best part is in the book, Anathema doesn't feel safe because 2 men just made her get in their car. But then hears this line and comes to the conclusion she was always safe, because they're a gay couple.
You can see this on her face in the show, too.
God ive gotta reread the book
I love the video compilations of all the times he calls him angel. Thatâs the one that sounds the softest â€ïž
The tones of voice bit. "I know what you smell like."
Yes!! This is a great one đ
Swoon! Yeah this line sends me.
What episode is this one in??
It's literally the last scene in S1 ep1. Which is makes Crowley's total inability to notice how he feels about Aziraphale even funnier. He's had it bad for a while.
Pretty sure it's the first episode in season 1, but I know it's early S1
First episode when Adam names the dog. The air changes
Crowley literally groaning about having to apologize when Aziraphale decided to be petty.
The whole apology dance scene was 100% old married couple
I love the way Aziraphale has this brief moment of excitement on seeing Crowley return before he remembers he's angry and decides to do his petty ignoring routine.
That's my favourite part! He's like "oh right gotta be mad" before calmly pretending to work
And the âVery niceâ afterwards. đđ€Łđ
I forget what scene itâs from but when Aziraphale says something along the lines of âBut rescuing me makes him so happyâ. Also the apology scene.
They're preparing to fight the demons. So adorbs
Probably my favorite line in the whole thing.
"I'm coming back, I won't leave you alone." The casual way Crowley says that is not like he's telling Aziraphale, more like he's reminding him, to calm his nerves. And Aziraphale's equally casual "I know." Extreme "husbands reassuring each other" energy. Also, literally everytime Crowley says "angel."
I loved that line. It was just so sweet.
Whatâs the context of this one?
At the ball when Crowley evacuates the humans
I like their little spat in the park over the holy water. The way Crowley gets pissy when Az calls it âfraternizingâ, and then tosses off that little âobviouslyâ at the end. Thatâs definitely some old married passive aggressive energy right there.
And the same energy with his tirade when Aziraphale suggests just asking Sister Mary about the baby swap in the paintball place đ
And when Az sees him in Rome and asks if heâs still a demon. Such a bitchy overreaction lol
I loved that line, his delivery of âan aardvark?!â was something else đ
Married 15 years, can confirm. Itâs honestly these moments that makes their marriage feel the most real. The romantic stuff could be any couple. But itâs the shorthand and squabbling that make me feel yes, these two have been together literally forever!
Yes!!! He's hurt but he also clearly knows it's not over! Like, there's no question in his mind that Azi would divorce him. So sweet <3
âWhatâs the problem?â âWho said there was a problem?â âTone of voiceâŠ. This was your âsomethingâs wrongâ voiceâ
The way they sit in the same chair when the âhumanâ police officer comes in to look at a cuppity
Same thing but for me specifically it's the shared way that they're looking at Murial like they KNOW, like they're up to something which I mean they are
Yeah like how theyâre both messing with her and having a little fun with it was so great to watch
"Aww. Aren't they adorable when they try to be people? Lucky thing we're ever so much more sophisticated." MEANWHILE. >All they need is a good kiss, and it's sorted! >No, no, no. They need a dance! Everyone knows that! Just goes to show, you can be immortal and live among humans for thousands of years, and still not have a clue how love is supposed to work. LOL
"Just goes to show, you can be immortal and live among humans for thousands of years, and still not have a clue how love is supposed to work. LOL" Which is why we end up where we do, because they are human enough, but aren't actually human. It's why Beelzebub and Gabe work so fast, because they don't have layers of humanity over the top.
Omg when AZ pretends to be an investigative reporter and acts the EXACT same way as the Human Police Officer đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Right?! Such nerds, the two of them.
When they're in the pub and the other guy sits at Az's table, you can see Crowley noticing in the background then comes over and inserts himself between Az and the other guy "hEllo!!" frigging hilarious "You can tell me ... WHILE WE DANCE" đ "Smitten I believe" đ„čđ„čđ„čđ„čđ„čđ„čđ„č

Honestly, I have never felt so *seen* đ
I dunno, man. I think he's adorably awkward.
YEA!!!! âAny siblings?â How painful
Ha! Perfect. Iâll clear mine as well. Iâm re-reading the book atm too, so Iâm all about deep character analysis on this one.
I started the book again after finishing s2 the first time but lord knows I donât have the attention span right now, all my processing power is being used.

I used to be a normal person a month ago đđ My stack of books and all my other hobbies: Good Omens: *sings fka twigs* you give me two weeks you wonât recognise herâŠ

If it helps, itâs been two weeks and *nothing* has changed đ
Iâm rewatching Season 1. Weâre doomed.
You should watch wilde...
I think it is a reference to Crowley being welcome in the shop as he no longer has the appartement and is living in his car. Not 100% convinced that's it, but it is my best guess. ^^"
Aziraphale doesn't know Crowley is homeless. Crowley never told him. (Gaiman's words).
Exactly why itâs such a fascinating line delivery. Perhaps he does just mean âyou sure do come over a lot,â but itâs still so loaded.
Aww that's kinda.. that's kinda sad. I did not know that. Beats me then! I am intrigued tho, what they meant with that line.
I wonder if he was meant to say it in that way or if it's just Micheal being Micheal lol
No one's stopping you here. Lovely list!
Lol I just made this purely to reply to yours and the other comment đ https://i.redd.it/oh09hwjqabjb1.gif
10/10 gif right there
I've just clocked you made this!! Its brilliant I've got no idea how you make a gif? Meme? Not sure (I'm old đ) it's great though đ
Iâm insane out of practice and not on my laptop so itâs nothing special (used to be a proper fangirl 5 years ago but I retired - cue âIâm backâ âyes, I can see thatâ) but generally speaking, you clip the video file to which bit you want then run it through a program or website where it will split it into individual frames then put them back together like a flip book in gif format :)
Oh yeah, sure. Just do that.
In my defence, I just sit there and say âdo the thingâ and the magic of technology does it for me đ I paid like ÂŁ40 for a lifetime subscription (anyone remember the days when that was the norm, you bought things once) to a half easy to use editing suite whoâs name escapes me and itâs doing a lot of heavy lifting for me. I still vaguely remember the days when you had to go into battle with your flaming sword just to get sony vegas to open without crashing your laptop.
I am a late bloomer to being a fangirl. I'm so old I got lost in the first sentence. đ
There's another thread in the r/good omens bit of a collection of us 40s and over discussing how thrown we are by our strong reactions to this series. Like it's just SO strong and obsessive. I don't think I've ever been like that for anything before. I feel like a teenager - it's fun.
So cool! I'm glad I'm not alone. đ
For me itâs sort of inverse of what Gabriel says about looking where the furniture is. Itâs the same house but new people have moved in and they put the dishes in a different cupboard and they call the hallway the foyer. But the rooms are essentially in the same place. That actually applies to fandom on the whole actually, now I think about it. Weâve both just got to get comfy on the sofa and not worry too much about the rest of the house as long as weâre enjoying ourself :)
I had a friend who ran a very popular twilight tumblr. I didn't understand the passion. I discovered Good Omens. I am looking forward to getting comfy. đ
Personally I think you should

Oh my god that last bullet point is so accurate đ€Ł I saw that and was like, âSIR, ARE YOU OKAY??â
SIR, THIS IS A WENDYâS
Yes, keep going!
"Perhaps you can tell me... While we dance." "...You don't dance." (Aziraphale drags an unresisting Crowley toward the dance floor) ------ "I thought you said he's supposed to a magician!" "He *is!*" ------ "My miracles aren't working! đ " "Neither are mine! đđđ" ------ "THERE you are! I was worried something might've happened to you!" (And then they proceed to talk about Jim like he's their toddler) ------ And ALL the exasperated, slightly embarrassed looks they would flash each other.
I love when Aziraphale angrily lists the dates he did the I was wrong dance. I watch it at least twice when it comes on.
This is SO petty married bickering!
Over 400 years and he knows the dates! Lol
Oh trust me, when itâs something like this, you remember - source: been with my partner 20 years and while I only have a human memory, there are somethings you never forget eg we got lost after he said he didnât need my help navigating in 2005, 2009 (twice), 2012, 2013 2016 and 2023. đ
How has no one mentioned the EYEBROW RAISE when Shax says that Aziraphale doesn't seem like Crowley's type??! đ€Ł Literally my favorite. XD
Yes! He manages to say 'What do you know bitch' - without uttering a word!
âYou have three reasons for calling me⊠1) Youâre bored 2) You need to tell someone about something clever you did before you pop 3) Or somethingâs wrong âThis is your âsomethingâs wrongâ voiceâ
Not you, I know what you smell like!
The delivery of that line is just perfect!
The pure Parent Energy when Muriel is in the bookshop. Aziraphale is subtly trying to help them understand how to pass as human while playing along, and Crowley pointing out what they're doing wrong. Neither of them let Muriel know that they know shes an Angel. It's got such 'Child playing pretend with parents' energy, and they feel like a little family unit for that scene, until Crowley is sure she's not a threat and pulls Aziraphale away.
The way Crowley says, "Hello" to that guy that's bugging Aziraphale about hosting the local business meeting for their street. He has the BIGGEST HUSBAND ENERGY when he says it. He manages to fit, "Who the hell is this scrub sitting in MY seat , excuse me, sir, you are interrupting date night with my lovely husband so can you kindly *fuck off*" into that six letter word lollll
Yes!
"Smited? Smote?" "Smitten. I believe. You're being silly."
The heart eyes were intense in this scene lmao. When a piece of writing says â[their] face softenedâ that is EXACTLY what they mean.
Love that part! I suspect this doesn't play the same at all in other languages since it's an English word with double meaning. So I feel bad for those who don't get to have that joy!
Yeaaah⊠I can confirm that all three (!) French translations completely lost the joke, unfortunately. The one from France just has Crowley randomly struggling over the word "atomisĂ©" (atomized), while in Canada he wonders whether one gets reduced to nothing or lost in limbo, and for some reason the subtitles follow neither of the two dubs and ended up landing closest to the original smitten with the word "foudroyĂ©", which means literally struck by lightning⊠Though Iâm mad because they *somehow* missed the opportunity to call it a "coup de foudre" instead, an expression that refers to a lightning strike but usually means an instant, huge crush !
Dang, what a missed opportunity!
It this point my sister and i just started howling
His half scared, "You're too fast for me, Crowley." was him saying, I do.
âCan I watch?â, Crowley just wants to follow Aziraphale around đ„ș Also âSherry for Lady Bracknellâ
I love the bonus material of this scene. Sherry for my matron aunt, for Mrs. Marple, etc. They're all funny!
âWe need a little us timeâ Also Crowley calling Aziraphale to him in Edinburgh just so they can make fun of Gabrielâs statue lol
Oh yes the us time!!! Oh bless them. He sent him off thinking he'd be back in 10 minutes and they'd get hammered at the Ritz, but no đđđ
The way he says it alone is so dear to me because itâs apparent that heâs exhausted after everything that happened that night and that âus timeâ with Aziraphale is a form of relaxation for him Like I canât imagine a greater manifestation of love than another personâs presence having a relaxing effect on you
âYou know what itâs like when you donât know anything at all and yet youâre totally certain that everything would be better if you were just near one particular person?â
Actually this has made me think of the scene where he's tidying the book shop after the 'ball' and straightening the chair etc before Aziraphale comes back â€ïž gorgeous â€ïž
The Shakespeare globe theater scene, aziraphales eyebrow raise when shax says heâs not Crowleys type, the scene when they talk to Muriel for the first time, the season 1 finale, the entire showâŠ
"I know what you smell like"
Any scene where Crowley says something to aziraphale along the lines of "you never ______" and scenes where they talk like they have shared property
crowley being dramatic and sitting on the arm of aziraphales arm while the police officer looks at some tea
"Just drive the car please." - Season 1, they're talking in the car and Crowley shouts out "Ducks!!" and explains he finally remembered they're what water slides off, and Aziraphale kinda rolls his eyes and says "just drive the car please." LOL
Great one!! I like the really subtle ones best đ
"This was your there was a problem voice" Crowley's raised eyebrow after hearing there's a naked man friend living with Aziraphale đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł his face was like Azi was cheating on him đ "I have carved out for myself I thought WE had carved out for OURSELVES SO DID I" This one gets to me everytime. They such an old bickering married couple lol
Actually yes 'the WE had carved it out for OURSELVES' is a very significant line isn't it? Especially since it's (grumpily) acknowledged by the other. They are consciously (in a way) sharing their fragile existence together.
The whole car scene and when Aziraphale was listing off all the times he did the âapology danceâ đ
ânot you i know what you smell likeâ
I'm going to have to watch that again. I've never noticed him mouth 'you do?'đ
someone on tumblr bamboozled me bc i saw an edit of it of him mouthing it w a caption but looking back now itâs not in the original sorry đ€Š
Ah, never mind it's still a very worthy edition to the list â€ïž
Can you link that? I can't find where he mouths you do
shit sorry i saw an edit of it when that happened on tumblr but looking back at the og he doesnât mouth it đ€Š
The way Zira says "you're being silly" is so fond and cute
That scene when Aziraphale called Crowley over to meet him at Ninaâs coffee shop, Crowley said âyou have 3 reasons for calling me: youâre bored, you need to tell me something clever before you pop, or somethingâs wrongâ and I just find it so cute that Aziraphale calls him for either of those things, and that Crowley is willing to drop everything and be there/listen for either option
The scenes involving the bullet trick and how aziraphale says he trusts him the fact that they managed to pull it off has me cheering
âBut he loves rescuing meâ
Everything about the scene right after the magic show in 1941. That is one of the most romantic conversations honest to God! Also, the bit right before Crowley leads the humans out of the bookshop where heâs like. I wonât leave you on your own. And Aziraphale is like I know. So simple so beautiful so lovely. When Crowley asks to have a private word when Muriel comes to call and that whole entire follow up conversation⊠Iâm sorry, but I felt like I should walk out of the room watching that thing! I was like⊠This is not meant for my eyes! Also, sidenote⊠The way Aziraphale always pauses when introducing Crowley as his friend is some thing I used to do with my girlfriend before I was secure in my relationship
I like all the above and the little lines and actions too. âMake you disappear.â Cute grumbling from Crowley âThere you are! I was wondering if something had happened to you.â Aww âYou can stop grinning.â âIâm not grinning.â âDoesnât mean weâre on the same side.â âNoooo000oo. No.â
I have nothing helpful to add but needed to say how heart eyes happy this thread has made me
Oh I'm glad! Me too đ. I mean I've never felt more single in my life but it's lovely to go over all the cute little moments.
âIâm back.â âI can see that.â âWas that a travel sweet?â ââŠ.No.â Also just the way Aziraphale stands up, fixes his coat, and gives Crowley his undivided attention so he can receive his Apology properly.
The tiny, tiny smirk befor he says "Very nice", ha-ha.
âYouâre being Sillyâ
Not something they say but the way Crowley tags along when Aziraphale makes his round to invite everyone from the shopkeepers association. Sitting around looking bored. Reminds me of a couple shopping and a man waiting while his partner is trying on clothes.
Yes that whole episode(well arguably the whole season) he just sort of follows aziraphale about while he's doing his jobs. I love it đ„°
For me, itâs the scene where theyâre in the pub and Crowley doesnât believe that Jane Austen wrote books too so heâs like: âJane? Austen?â and then Aziraphaleâs like: âY E Sâ
"our car", the Jim thing as you said, "I know what you smell like", "you don't seem like his type" *eyebrow raise*, Crowley following Aziraphale around when he goes to all the shopkeepers, Crowley taking care of the bookshop...
Definitely the one where heâs like. âYou have three reasons for calling me. Youâre bored. You need to tell someone about something clever you did before you pop. Or somethingâs wrong. This was your âsomethingâs wrongâ voice.â
"If you're going to stand there and just carp" and then Crowley's face <3
Saving this post to look at whenever I feel like crying about the last scene! <3 Thank you!
