op be like: the risk I took was calculated and I am so bad at math.
Im gonna hold an egg in my mouth for 2 hours to challenge myself.
you are a genius, man
Crowley was originally the angel Kokabiel and here's why:
Just looking at this definition of Kokabiel, we know two things: 1.) that they were the angel in charge of the stars, and 2.) the ended up falling. This screams Crowley, as in the first episode of season two we are shown Crowley in his angel form literally creating the stars. He also has a map of the stars in his hand, including all the constellations.
When the galaxy comes alive, Crowley is ecstatic! But when Aziraphale asks if he had done it all himself, he says "Ah, well, I mean, more or less. I wasn't... I wasn't, um... I wasn't the original concept designer, but I worked very closely with the upstairs on it," The "upstairs" in question being God.
Continuing on this theory, Crowley then explains that what he's created is a "star factory" and then launches into teaching Aziraphale about the creation of stars and constellations--much like Kokabeil was known for.
Once Crowley is let on that the "upstairs" is going to shut everything down in about 6,000 years, Crowley is mostly upset that his stars would die. He doesn't know earth by it's name, as he would most likely never have concerned himself with anything other than stars, and when he's told that his stars are only there for humans to just look at, he gets upset and ultimately starts questioning God--a slippery slope after all, because how much trouble can you get in for asking a few questions?
Well, a lot, apparently. Crowley becomes a fallen angel, like Kokabiel, and as we see towards the finale, he still has enough power to open up Gabriel's classified documents--something only a very powerful angel could do. This would align with Crowley being Kokabiel, since Kokabiel was the angel behind creating the universe and all it's stary components.
Not to mention that Crowley has dropped hints about his true name throughout the show, constantly bringing up that they could runaway together to somewhere in the universe both heaven and hell can't find them, or to alpha centuari--a star system in the universe. This hints that Crowley knows places in the universe that others do not (since he created it), and his desire to run away into the stars is just setting up reveal it is because they are of his own creation as an angel.
Is it just me or are the new tumblr users convinced there's a penalty of some kind for using this site like it's meant to be used?
EDIT: I am having troubles with this post, probably because it’s too long. So we are going to split it in half. Part 2-A is here.

i relate to this too much 💀
(except im ace and pan)
My mother just recently informed me that I am no longer allowed to and I quote, “Act like a dramatic vigilante whilst I walk my pups at night.”
(I’m a bisexual who dresses in black in a poorly lit neighborhood. On top of that I was in band, theater, and CHOIR.)
I proceed to combine all of that to announce my presence to other people at night by acting like an extra from a musical, as not to alarm them with a sudden spike in gay energy. My favorite method is by snapping and approaching like the alley scene in A Westside story while singing, “It’s not unusual” by Tom Jones.
This has led to many complaints from our neighbors. I don’t see how it is supposed to be my problem though, maybe they just shouldn’t be startled by an average theater kid.
I think you lot are severely underestimating the power of "God I love him but he's so stupid sometimes" when it comes to jaymelvik. Vik and Mel love Jayce for his brilliance and stupidity. You cannot tell me that Mel didn't care about Viktor either. Because also. That's part of Mel's character. She may use people, but she always cares about them. She might use you but she won't let you sink.
And she did fall in love with Jayce. I don't think she was expecting to. But the ways in which she did likely scared her for a moment before accepting. She couldn't accept Jayce without Viktor either because of how close they are as friends. Literal package deal. It's also obviously those two would lead to romance because. Look at them, c'mon now. And she already accepted that. Honestly think if all that didn't happen, she would have started inviting Viktor to go places with them. He'd be included in dinners. And it would have started as business meetings but quickly turned to just hanging out. Mel and Viktor would have loved each other too. Because all three of them scheme. None of them would have wanted any others to be kept at arms length from the other for similar and different reasons. They wouldn't have picked one over the other, they'd just pick all three of themselves. It would be difficult at times, cause all couples butt heads. But again, none would want any others to feel like they'd be less important, because all of them have had to deal with that. For these three it's literally just natural. It doesn't work for other characters...because they are other characters..? Idk I just think it's obvious they'd all tie into each other well. Bothers me that Mel gets painted as only manipulative black woman who never really loved Jayce, has no cares for anyone but herself, while jayvik is like some holy sacred thing with no issues.
I want to know:
How many times in season 2 do we think Aziraphale will have to miracle the memories of everyone standing in the streets? I mean, there's a naked angel at his doorstep AND an angry demon releasing lightning in the middle of the road?
purple is best colour 💜✨
HUGE shout out to purple for being the only color that has like no losers. Deep purple royal purple bluish purple redish purple pastel purple dusty purple lavender periwinkle violet like. Banger after banger after banger!!
"Sounds like"
I must say, interesting choice of words, Mr Gaiman.
thank you so much for the new season, it was amazing and as sad as it was i loved the ending.
i was just wondering on a second rewatch about if the clock in the background of the kiss scene changing by 15 minutes was a continuity error or intentional?
i hate get caught up in minor details when they weren't intended. i doubt it was since you've always been so intentional in ever minor detail of the story but would love any answer you can give.
thank you!!
Sounds like a continuity error to me, I'm afraid.
