Ineffably Sleepy

Two impossible decisions...

...always to protect Crowley

Don’t know if anyone already pointed this out but you know one thing I noticed in the final fifteen? Crowley and Aziraphale have such complete opposite objectives that they are never seen in a shot together until the kiss. Foreshadowing that neither of them will manage to convince the other. Here they are literally on different sides.

In the beginning they are on opposite sides of the room so it makes sense for them not to appear in a shot together.

But even when Aziraphale comes closer they are still alone in their own shots.

Then they are again in opposite sides of the room. But the positions are switched.

And it’s only then, when Crowley desperately attempts to kiss Aziraphale, that they have this one shared shot. Metaphorically, it’s like Crowley is forcing the camera to show them together at least once before everything is over.

And when this fails, of course, they go back to their separated shots.

As I understand it, the outcome of this conversation was defined since the beginning. Nothing they could have said would change it. They would not be leaving that bookshop together from the start.

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

This, like everything, is about Good Omens.

I hadn't planned on starting my day crying over how the moon orbits the earth, but here we are anyway.
