The sneakiest and perhaps most human trick that Crowley’s brain liked to pull was this: Overthinking Everything. Even the most harmless of comments would kick him into overdrive, picking at whatever was said like a scab until its original meaning was mangled beyond recognition.

All this to say, when an afternoon came along shortly after the world didn’t end for a second time, and Aziraphale, apropos of nothing whatsoever, idly remarked, “You know, we never did go for that picnic,” Crowley’s brain did what it did best.

some things about that podcast episode

  • david having a religious phase as a teenager bc he felt bad about his siblings rejecting that part of his parents' lives and he wanted approval from them
  • him finding it hard to say "i love you" to his parents even when they were dying bc while the love was understood implicitly that wasn't the kind of relationship he had w them
  • georgia mentioning david being a very openly affectionate parent by contrast and how their kids normally go to him first when they've gotten hurt
  • "what allows you to be vulnerable?" "i think it's knowing that you're loved, isn't it? it's the feeling that beyond a doubt it isn't conditional"
