While this has received a lot of attention, I would like to argue that attention is on the incorrect thing.
Most look at this as “Oh, Aziraphale is happy to see Crowley and gets a face-full o’ plants by means of a greeting.” (I may be paraphrasing here)
I see it more as…
His freaking plants. Look at Aziraphale holding them. Look at Crowley pretending it isn’t a big deal and avoiding examining any reaction Aziraphale has.
This is huge. Before Aziraphale left for Edinburgh, Crowley transported the plants from the car to the bookshop solo. After… well…
And he’d planned it. Look how quickly he pops out of the shop with a box to shove at the angel, and how quickly box number two is obtained.
I seriously love these two idiots (affectionate)
I'm so done 🙄
