Destroy the idea that good DMs should be trying to make the PCs lives miserable. Good DMs facilitate good stories. It’s not about control and setting up every encounter so that there’s like an 80% chance of everyone dying. It’s about making sure everyone, including yourself, is having a good time and if you can’t have a good time without ruining the fun of others, you shouldn’t be DMing (If your players consent to really high-stakes gameplay though, more power to you).

Her tuition so damn high she can wear whatever tf she wants

Spite goals

Her name is Letitia Chai, she is Korean, and her presentation was “Acting in Public: Performance in Everyday Life”.

Her demonstration drew two dozen supporters. She was wearing a modest shirt and some cut-off shorts (which we can’t see in the images here because they’re mostly hidden by her laptop, exacerbating the need for retort against her professor’s disagreement with them). When her professor also asked what Chai’s mother would think of her attire, she informed him that she’s a gender and sexuality professor.

Letitia Chai: Chaotic good

So I’ve been thinking and I’m pretty sure: Crowley asks Aziraphale for the holy water Specifically Because he’s in love with him. NOT just as a genral protection against Hell. For Aziraphale.

During the French Revolution Crowley saves Aziraphale through direct action, miracling the cuffs off him. He doesn’t want Aziraphale to thank him, “I’ll be the one in trouble and my lot do not send rude notes.”

So he goes home and he thinks about it, right? Was I really prepared to get in trouble with Hell for him? What will happen if I have to save the angel again? Well, he WILL, obviously, Hell be Blessed. Could be dangerous for him. He NEEDS the holy water for insurance in case he pisses Hell off because he KNOWS he’ll put Aziraphale’s safety first. They are supposed to be enemies and if he keeps siding with Aziraphale, continuing their arrangement, someone in Hell may notice.

THIS is why he’s so pissed off when Aziraphale tells him no, I won’t get that for you! I won’t get you a suicide pill! It’s not just the denial, it’s upsetting to him that Aziraphale Doesn’t Get It. Crowley needs the Holy Water in case he’s going in direct opposition to Hell, and the Only Reason he would do that is Aziraphale, but Aziraphale can’t see that.

Then he saves Aziraphale at the Blitz. This time he’s more careful about how he does it! He doesn’t use direct action, just shows up and says “I’m here to save you, so I dropped a bomb on us, better do your own miracle or we won’t survive!” Look, he does this in such a roundabout fashion because he doesn’t dare directly save Aziraphale again, in case Hell is checking up on him. He could always claim he dropped the bomb to try and kill him! The books of prophecy he saved? Well, they were false prophecy anyway!

And Aziraphale does get it, at this point, finally, he understands what Crowley’s doing and why he needs the holy water. (Because it was sitting right there in that church but Crowley’s only priority was making sure Aziraphale and his books were ok.) Aziraphale shows up in the Bentley with the Holy Water and jumps straight to, maybe someday we could... go for a picnic, dine at the Ritz. He’s saying, we could have a date. He’s saying I understand why you need this now, so I’ll give it to you, I understand you have feelings and I WANT to return them but I can’t at this time.

“Should I say thank you?” “Better not.” Crowley told Aziraphale not to thank him for saving him during the French Revolution, because he was scared of Hell. Crowley is saying, “can I thank you? Are you worried about what Heaven will think?” and Aziraphale is saying, yes, actually, I still am.

He’s saying: you made the decision years ago to put me ahead of your allegiance to Hell, and I understand that now. And maybe someday I’ll be there, ready to put you above my allegiance to Heaven, but I can’t yet. So you can’t take me anywhere tonight, because that isn’t fair to you. So, “You go too fast for me, Crowley.”

the whole "it starts, as it will end, with a garden" is really fucking me over cuz like there's nothing really that connects the garden of eden to the rest of the story, let alone berkeley square of all places, except aziraphale and crowley......like in that one line alone literal god made it crystal clear that this story is ultimately about the relationship between aziraphale and crowley and is asking you to compare their meeting in that first garden to the last garden we see them in and take note of how they change...."time to leave the garden" drawing parallels between aziraphale + crowley and adam + eve venturing out into the unknown away from the watchful eye of god or any other higher power because they may be disgraced but they are free......it's literally just about their love and you can make all the jokes you want about how aziraphale and crowley don't contribute to the plot at all but good omens IS about them and you just cannot avoid that fact!!!! it's a love story!!!! and god wants you to know that!!!!!!!!

Aziraphale: Where are you going?

Crowley: To get an ice lolly or commit a felony, I’ll decide in the car.
