I like how we all took a collective look at Vox and thought ‘What a pathetic excuse of a man’, and loved him even more for it.
Something that I noticed, but is probably super obvious or overthinking, but in the scene that Alastor talks about how “one can become accustomed” to being at the hotel with the others he’s still distant. He’s put himself higher than the rest of the hotel (until Nifty comes up with him). He never flat out says that he himself is becoming accustomed, but that one could, showing both his words and physical distance from the rest of the hotel. It’s also a really sweet scene that shows a bit more of his dynamic with Nifty, not really getting a scene with them by themselves so far in the show. I don’t know, it’s just really interesting to me how he not only distances himself away, puts himself higher, and then shows that he has his own way of caring directly. Which is kinda of a common theme with him, the situation with Mimzy for example?
NOT WYLAN AND JESPER HAVING A MOMENT DIRECTLY AFTERWARDS!!!!
KAZ GIVING INEJ HER FREEDOM IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE!!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
NO!!!! THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE PEKKA ROLLINS GOING TO JAIL SAD!!!!! NO!!!! I WAS NOT PREPARED TO SEE ALBY THERE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I hate Pekka, but his son is adorable.
Regular Alastor couldn’t beat Adam, but cursed cat Alastor sure could’ve with the right motivation (jambalaya).
I don't think some of you should be coming down on Aziraphale so hard for his decision and I'm going to point out something not enough people take into consideration.
Just think of the circumstances he was in. He got offered a deal that could fix pretty much every single problem they have and that could consequently make both him and Crowley incredibly happy.
At least that's how he sees it. It all comes crashing down once he realises that that's not what Crowley wants. That it's not that easy for them to have that perfect life. Having that opportunity and then it being ripped right out of his hands. Just look at how giddy he was when he was telling Crowley, after which he straight up went into denial and refusing to listen to what Crowley has to say, because this. would. have. solved. everything.
But... it's not what Crowley wants. And it's not as if he can make him go with him to Heaven (thank god) because he's not that kind of person. He's not possessive or controlling. And more than anything he loves Crowley and up until that moment he had the perfect means to make him happy. And now it's gone.
So not only does he have this earth shattering realisation about Crowley and what he wants he also now has to deal with what he himself wants. Now if anyone knows how it feels to be in such a stressful and agonising dilemma over something, you will probably feel and emphasise with Aziraphale pretty hard in this scene. Because this is where old coping mechanisms start to hit. This is where he falls back on something reliable, something he can trust will make the right decision, and that is his old belief that Heaven is to be obeyed and that it can do no wrong, that is still so ingrained in his instincts and decision making. This is where his trauma comes into play.
And he fights it.
How fucking strong do you have to be to be able to fight your own gut feeling, that has been trained and created for millions of years. He actively tries to tell the Metatron "no" multiple times, shame that the Metatron is a master manipulator and doesn't let him the opportunity, but he still does it nonetheless.
(This is the part I wanted to point out) This boy had to make a life changing decision that would determine how he would spend the rest of eternity itself. And he didn't even have 10 minutes to make it.
He had only minutes to make this decision. Imagine the sheer soul-shattering heart-rending turmoil that has been going on inside him. The sheer panic and dread he was probably feeling.
And despite what millenia of training and what his thoughts and logic were telling him, he still followed his heart, he still chose Crowley... until the Metatron sensed exactly that and told him about the Second Coming.
Well, now that made things much simpler. His happiness or the universe. And he sacrificed himself. Again...
And to top it all off, he had to fucking smile. He has just lost everything he loves, earth, the bookshop, crepes... and Crowley. No. No, it's more than that. After Crowley's confession he realised he lost everything he never even had. Utterly and completely alone. And he cannot dare shed a tear. How. Fucking. Strong. Do you have to be to be able to do that.
You know when your obsessed with a show and you introduce said show to a friend, but their not AS into it as you are and so when you go on hour rants about your theory’s and how you watched the show seven times, they look at you like your crazy. Couldn’t relate.
It is complete.
@convolutedblasphemy thanks for making the lyrics. It made me laugh, so I had to draw out what I envisioned in my head.
This was fun to make! Please let me know what your favorite face is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpJPeVRKI0k

(ORIGINAL POST IDEA AND LYRICS)
(and the lucifer's commissions saga tag if you're not familiar with it)
I’m reading The Mysterious Benedict Society And the Riddle of Ages and I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence or not, but I noticed how (only Constance and Kate so far) have tapped their nose and pointed when one of the others get something right like Mr. Benedict does and I think it’s literally the sweetest thing ever. (Other than Constance wearing Mr. Benedict’s old suits, which would be hilarious to see in the show (probably not going to be a thing but still) )
Not on TikTok often but I heard this audio I had to make this edit with it. Here's a link to the original
the inevitable conclusion
