Take These, Spread Them Around

What if Crowley could change his species of snake at will? 🐍

In Aziraphale's defense, Crowley wasn't a rattlesnake when he put him in the box. Crowley could obviously get out whenever he likes, but it’s actually kind of fun.

Stop everything you're doing and look at the Arabian sand boa. You're welcome.

Snakes in order of appearance: Red-bellied black snake, blunthead tree snake, eastern hognose snake, Arabian sand boa, African egg-eating snake, eastern diamondback rattlesnake.

Also -

You ever make something and go, "This is it, my finest work. My magnum opus. I've peaked as an artist."?

This is that moment for me.

STOP SCROLLING!!

Look at his cute lil face for a minimum of five seconds

Now you may resume scrolling. Have a nice day!

This is from the book, while Crowley is trying to talk Aziraphale into helping him stop armageddon, and does his drunken ramble about eternity. Apparently God enjoys The Sound of Music.

“You’ll enjoy it. You really will. You won’t have a choice.”

I feel like this line gets overlooked a lot. It’s an important line, for sheer horror potential.

Whatever the control mechanism is, clearly it isn’t running on every angel at all times, because if that was the case, a rebellion never would have happened. Aziraphale wouldn’t have six thousand years of doubts piling up to critical capacity. Gabriel wouldn’t have been able to escape.

But it’s also clearly very easily turned on, since they both accept that it would be used for something as petty as enjoying a movie. This lack of will can be rolled over angels at any time, for any reason.

Aziraphale clearly has some dread of this. *Crowley* knows it, and used it to convince Aziraphale to help him stop armageddon. But Aziraphale is very good at letting one part of his brain know something while another part of his brain denies it, so it’s not clear how much *Aziraphale* knows he dreads it, even as that dread shapes his character.

He’s never really broken free of Heaven. Even when he was being called a traitor, he wasn’t fallen, and so he was expecting to be called home eventually. And he’d be happy, of course. He won’t have a choice.

Aziraphale’s been trying to walk away from Heaven for at least six thousand years. He walked away from guard duty. He gave away his sword. He lied straight to God’s face about it. He lied to the archangels, and then straight up told Crowley he was ready to go to Hell. Several millennia of trouble-making and demon-fraternizing later, he stood in the middle of Heaven, declared he wasn’t going to fight in any war, then escaped via the demonic act of human possession. He is ready to GO.

And still his wings are snowy white. He’s just as angelic as when he first worried the pretty starmaker might get in trouble, and tried to protect him with a warning.

But he can’t escape. Heaven isn’t letting anyone else go. And he knows what his future holds. Eventually, no matter how many times they put it off, eventually he will be called back to Heaven.

And so, what promises can he make Crowley?

To stay with him always? Of course not. To love him? Can he even promise to love him? No. He’ll eventually be dragged back to Heaven, and he’ll be happy to go, and he won’t even miss him. *He won’t have a choice.*

And perhaps that’s the problem. He loves Crowley too much to make promises he can’t keep.

they took the bookshop opening scene from us and i will never forgive them

Oh I'm quite excited! I'll guess option 2

I wonder which one will be correct and what everyone else thinks

Although it could be you're being a trickster and messing around with measurements

If that is the case I reserve all rights to call you incorrigible ;)

As for me; I've included an easy round and a more challenging round

Why?

Because it's fun

Round 1

1. I'm farsighted in one eye and nearsighted in the other

2. I was a tomboy as a small child

3. I've never read more than a passage or two from Ovids Metamorphoses ( counting both Translations and original)

Now for the tricky one

Round 2 ( Bonus!)

1. Once, when I was a teenager, my grandparents thought I was suicidal because I was leaning out of a window at 3 in the morning (I was looking at stars in the countryside)

2. I once got a ball launched against my ear so hard I couldn't hear for 20 minutes

3. Once, when I was around the age of 9, I went ice skating with a friend who played ice hockey and when they tried to teach me the basics, I fell and almost dislocated my arm when I landed wrong

(I have since then learned how to actually skate)

Good luck! :D

@s0viet-gamer @evilasiangenius

Two truths and one lie! Tag someone else to play!

1. I have a fake eye

2. I have a calico cat

3. I have killed 47 people!
