@princessamericachavez:
#this is exactly what I was thinking about yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!! #Jesus comes back and he’s so nice to Crowley and happy to see him #the angels are angry and appalled #but Jesus just remembers that Crowley was nice and kind to him and that he showed him the world and offered insistently to just help him #get out of the desert but he’d refused #and so they talk (Jesus doesn’t judge Crowley for falling because he’s here to redeem all creatures) #and all the while Aziraphale is watching from the sidelines looking both heartbroken and like he’s ready to throw hands #no but also Crowley talking to Jesus about being betrayed by a man he loved after a kiss and Jesus just nods like Been There #and in the meantime all the angels want to intervene because WHY IS OUR LORD TALKING TO HIM but they darent #bonus point if Aziraphale is the one that breaks them up like ‘he’s yes sorry mr jesus has to go end the world’ #in a veiled attempt to get Crowley to dislike Jesus because he knows Crowley wont want that lol
... and Jesus is just like:
“A moment with my friend here. Look hon, these people here claim the world got so much worse in some two thousand years, they want to destroy it. Care to show me again what I died for?”
And Crowley’s just like sure, hop in! They drive off to Vegas, to start with “City of Sin”, where ‘Tony introduces Jesus [read Spanish] to some very nice friends with lose morals, but good hearts, then continue to several places all over the globe, where humanity shows its worst face, but even there A. J. manages to find surprisingly nice people just trying to survive or even help others.
Jesus isn’t impressed. This isn’t nearly as bad as what he heard about Soddom and Gommorah, smitten by his much less forgiving parent. Is that truly all?
Crowley admits he took it from one side of the scale only, the nests of evil with all their complexity. “Would you like to see the rest?” ... so they go on. Natural wonders, art and technology. The good, the holy-in-anything-but-name, the ordinary, the everyday, the boring...
Jesus ends up strolling in to meet the angels in all his zen hippie glory, joint between fingers, smile on his face:
“I don’t think the world needs more of my saving. You should all go back home. Or y’no what? Try on the mortal world, or the universe. That’s what I’m gonna do. I think I’ll keep a shop. Or maybe do some garderning? I still can’t quite wrap my head around how much water some regions have. We all should try to lead an ordinary life before passing judgement on humanity. It’s what ~I’m~ gonna do anyway.”
Well my heart still feels like it was cut out with a spoon, but I’m opening pre-orders for these ineffable pins again tomorrow!
In retrospect, then being apart but still connected like this was painfully prescient 😭
Before the internet, librarians were the gatekeeper of knowledge. For your reading pleasure, the New York Public Library released a cache of queries and conundrums called in from the 1940s to the 1980s.
