aziraphale: you go too fast for me, crowley
me, becoming 14 years old again: interesting that on the surface level he’s talking about the car, but also admitting his tendency to stay stuck, getting attached to places and things and people when he shouldn’t almost to the point of absurdity even when it isn’t being played for comedy, that his perception of crowley outrunning him constantly is partially his own refusal to pick up the pace, reminding him that his refusal and constant doubt about betraying his responsibilities is an emotional divide between them and moreover is fixed in a feeling that aziraphale himself is fixed in one place, emotionally sedentary, while his perception of crowley is entirely the opposite, seeing him impulsive and entirely too ready to betray his responsibilities and run away, which also brings up the perception of a moral divide,
“i only ever asked questions. that’s all it took to be a demon in the old days.”
Crowley was never evil. Crowley just questioned. he questioned the plan, he questioned his own place in it, he questioned existence, he questioned God Themselves. that much is obvious, just from that line. he asked questions, when he should have just been blindly obedient. and so he fell. (or sauntered vaguely downwards, either way.) and now he’s a demon. he’s not just a serpent, he’s the serpent, and he does his demonic duty – and questions that, too, and whether it was the right thing or the wrong. but at least as a demon, he thinks he can question it, and maybe that’s better….?
and then he meets Aziraphale, and the very first thing he knows about Aziraphale is that Aziraphale is a disobedient angel. Aziraphale doesn’t question, not the same way… but he gave away the flaming sword. he was meant to stand at the eastern gate and bar the door so that the man and the woman could never return but instead, instead, he gave away his sword. the very symbol of his obedience to duty, the substance of that duty itself. he gave it away, to protect the man and the woman.
is it any wonder Crowley fell in love in just about that exact second?
