the fact that these pictures exists has a few interesting implications:
1. there’s a 24/7 Heaven Cam™ running at all times, everywhere, recording every good or bad deed a person does. (or, at the very least, it records everything aziraphale does)
(side note: heaven has apparently not bothered with color in their ancient celestial cctvs. does heaven have a budget? storage space issues? did no one ever bother to invent anything new once they figured out a technique that more or less worked? do they just hate fun and color is too much like fun?)
2. but no one has actually bothered to look at aziraphale. as long as things are getting done, it’s probably fine. no one even considers that maybe he’s not doing it all himself. no one cares
3. until he says one (1) slightly complimentary thing about a demon
4. THEN it’s time to check him out, and well, he really hasn’t been especially discreet about his demon boyfriend, has he? fraternizing in broad daylight
5. but then heaven also has their own routes to contact hell. discreet phone calls from the higher ups that no one else is permitted to know about, clandestine information exchanges to keep their people in line
6. (because if other angels find out, then where will their authority be? demons were angels once, too. any number of angels and demons must have been friends before, before anyone fell, before the two spent millennia differentiating themselves. an angel and a demon as friends? that cannot be allowed, not by either side. it disrupts everything. if angels and demons just went about being friends again then where would their war be? and they must have their war. but it’s fine if an archangel does it. just taking out disruptive elements. no jeopardizing the war there.)
