On the Ineffable Bureaucracy Parallels
Good Omens Season Two Spoilers Below:
It’s easier for Beelzebub and Gabriel to run off together because they were the abusers.
Aziraphale and Crowley lived in constant danger for simply interacting, let alone if they had an actual relationship.
Gabriel and Beelzebub were also the ones in power and weren’t really facing the threat any kind of punishment.
I think their relationship is very sweet, but ultimately, it is nothing compared to the beauty and complexity of Aziraphale and Crowley.
I think Neil used a crackship to make a point. He could’ve given Aziraphale and Crowley a fluffy angst-free get together like Beelzebub and Gabriel do.
But how is that meaningful? (Obviously, part of me says “screw meaningful and let them be happy”)
How is that fateful to these characters?
That’s not who these characters are, at least not yet. Aziraphale in particular has personal growth to do before being with Crowley, he still has learning to do.
He’s finally allowed himself to accept loving Crowley, but wants to take the path of least resistance to be together. One where they aren’t actively hated by two very powerful agencies.
There’s a road to the South Downs, they’re just taking the long way.
The thought of losing Aziraphale hurt as much as the thought of losing the stars
