Part 12 of Quest for Glory II VGA. After defeating the Air Elemental, we try to reach Raseir without a caravan. The journey is detailed Ken Burns-style.

sitting on that bench waiting the bus is the first time aziraphale really has to come to terms with that he is now technically fallen. he hasn’t fallen in the literal sense but its just occurred to him he can’t ever go back to heaven. its not even a case that he’s want to anyway but it was always an option before.

for centuries he’s lived in this little bubble surrounding heaven and the angels because he’s one of them, absolutely, but he doesn’t want to go back and serve with them at all. he just wants to go for lunch with his friend and look after his bookshop.

nothing is going to change in what he wants but it is suddenly more real when crowley says “we’re on our own side” now. unlike the bandstand where he still had people to answer to and thousands of years of servitude restraining him.

as aziraphale sits and waits he realises he really isn’t part of heaven anymore (but nor has he become a demon). him and crowley are of their own stock in a new and terrifying way. they’ve both fallen from their sides, neither angel or demon but their own almost human side.

aziraphale has absolutely fallen but not in the burning, terrifying way he thought he would. he came down slowly and landed before he even knew what he was doing (whilst crowley flew upwards) and it isn’t as terrible as he thought it would be.

if one were so inclined, one might say aziraphale did not fall so much as sauntered vaguely downward.

no idea if this is true, but it feels true

I heard an interview, can’t remember the psychologist, but he was explaining this idea and encouraging people to stop and take a deep breath and literally drink in small moments like you’re a dryass plant when something is ever satisfactory, positive, mildly successful, randomly joyful so your brain can code and integrate that experience because our natural lizard brain will quickly tape over it with mostly unnecessary negative survival shit. Sounds dumb and dorky but sometimes I remember this when I’m feeling good about a moment because our cave brains are still catching up with modern life without sabertooths. I like that it’s not just a pollyanna gosh just be more positive thing but more of a legit brain wiring phenomenon can be gradually hacked through small behavioral changes.

Some thoughts I’ve thought while thinking:

1. Aziraphale probs isn’t going to embrace the free life as quickly as some might think. Sure, Heaven is now wary of whatever it is they think he’s become, but old habits die hard. He’s probably going to slip into his ol’ way of thinking at times, the anxiety will creep back in randomly, he’ll talk about “his” side and then remember. Reconditioning yourself takes time.
2. Crowley and Aziraphale’s mortal bodies can still die. An unlikely accident could shoot them back to their respective old places of employment. That…would not be good. Worse than if they merely got stuck in a noncorporeal form.
