"i Can't DISOBEY Not Do What I'm Told". At First, These Angels Say Such Things, And Then They Are Surprised

- No, no, we're not giving her a lift. - Hey, she can hear you. Is it decent? - I'm not jealous at all! - What? - What?

- Aziraphale, you speak Chinese pretty well, why haven't you mastered French yet? After all, French is simpler than Chinese. - Well I don't know. The Chinese have never tried to chop off my head. And also, you know, that French executioner pawed my neck! - In fairness, I note the neck is very magnetic. It beckons to touch.. - Is this some kind of French joke? - Yes it is. And you would understand its meaning if you finally learned French.

- I just need to find a receptive body. (Like all of us, Aziraphale, like all of us).

- Harder than you'd think. (I bet, Crowley thinks it's impossible).

- I'm not going to go there. (Aziraphale is so naive, and Crowley is such a gentleman ><).

Another theory about Maggie and Nina, plus a theory about coffee and death and a lot of symbolism.

Theory One (Maggie and Nina)

Nina and Maggie can symbolize the two sides of Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship. Maggie (this name means pearl, it is a symbol of hidden treasure and purity) this is the best thing about their relationship. It's their love for each other, for music and for the bookshope. This is confirmed by the jewelry on Maggie's neck (heart, snake and ring). This relationship is timid and it's hidden, like Maggie herself. Nina is the side of the relationship that is visible "on the surface". Nina is a responsible person, but she looks annoyed, a little rude, closed, distrustful. She is disappointed in her past relationships, which were toxic and there was no love in them. I will also note that Nina is active, she wants to sell her goods to people. Maggie's main theme is music, retro and love. For Nina, it seems to me, this is freedom (there are several statues of liberty in her cafe, one of which stands right on the counter). Including freedom of choice.

Theory two (choice, coffee and death)

So. In symbolism, coffee means awakening, awareness and life force. The torch of the Statue of Liberty means enlightenment, knowledge and optimism about the future. First. Nina offers a choice of coffee or death. In other words, to be alive or to be dead, to wake up or to sleep. Secondly. The hand of death is depicted on the wall, holding out a cup of coffee, like the Statue of Liberty holds out its torch. I can make the assumption that if you choose death, you will still get something. Once again, you make a choice to take a drink from Freedom or from Death. Nina said that no one had ever made such a choice, to which Metatron replied - people are so predictable.

What can death offer? In symbolism, she separates (with her scythe) body and soul, and irrevocable changes occur after her actions.

The third theory (choice without choice or something else)

So. Metatron brings Aziraphale coffee. The coffee was obtained from Nina, who symbolizes the dark side of the relationship between Azi and the Cro, a pinch of almond syrup was added to this cafe - it is what was good in this relationship (Maggie brought the ingredients to the coffee). So this drink is a concentrated version of their relationship. Next, Metatron is lying, claiming that he added a huge amount of almonds to the drink. Almonds in the symbolism of Christianity mean divine favor and hidden truth. Aziraphale asks if he should drink it. Metatron says literally: "Of course, I ingested things in my time, you know". I suppose he also refused something or made a difficult compromise (perhaps for the sake of his high position). Next, a conversation takes place in which Metatron, with the help of manipulation and cunning, compels Aziraphale to accept his offer. Of course, the coffee wasn't literally poisoned. The poison was in his words and intentions. I clarify, Aziraphale still did not make his choice of "coffee or death" when he took a drink from Metatron. And also when he talked to Metatron. At the same time, an equally important conversation takes place between Crowley and the girls. Both Aziraphale and Crowley are confused, events have gained momentum too quickly. There is a climactic conversation at the end of which there is actually (almost) nothing new for them. They always abruptly end the conversation by being rude to each other as soon as the conversation gets a little heated. But this time, fate has put Aziraphale in front of a choice for which there will be no turning back. It is now that Aziraphale is making his choice. Between love and death, he chooses death. When Aziraphale goes up in the elevator, you can see that his face is painfully changing, like his face is cramping up. This effect is highlighted by flashes of light. I explain this by the fact his soul and love remained on Earth (death separated his soul), and he dies - that is, irrevocably changes. Most likely, Maggie also received "death", since we see that she fell asleep in her little back room (of the bookstore).

He's so incredibly handsome! At the same time, 100 things are happening in me - I want to stare at him forever without blinking, I want to eat him, I want to be him, I want to become Aziraphale and kiss him. I know this is an unhealthy topic. I hope when I write another 10 or 20 posts with such nonsense, I will be able to heal my heart.

Have you tried to give him gifts?

"Uh, does saving his human body count as a gift?"

No, it's not

Well, OK, what did you give your angel?

A fly.

Are you fecking kidding me?

Well, I also brushed my teeth.

A fly and a clean mouth? It won't work with mine.

A variant with memory loss?

It's kind of harsh.

Well, you know, everything is a little harsh for you - love spell, binding, molestation. Are you a demon at all?

Yes, I just have my own methods…

Whatever you say. Invite my and Gabri's grandchildren to your ineffable wedding.

"demonic growling"

Your face when, after 6,000 years, you decided to spend the night in a demon's apt. And spooky and sweet, isn't it?

angelic groan of a martyr

- Angels aren't occult. We're ethereal. - So what's the difference? - Crowley, these are the basics! Occult means hidden and secret. This term refers more to the field of practice. It is the ability to manipulate natural laws to achieve certain goals. My essence is the etheric body, it retains the appearance of a physical body and is also in direct contact with my higher consciousness in heaven… Hey, are you listening? - Yeah it's very interesting.. Look at the statue right behind you. - Gosh, that statue… such… - Such obscene? Is that why you're speechless and can't give boring lectures anymore? - Uh well no not really.. - Is it such big? And you won't be able to drag it into your bookshop. - Crowley, this is ridiculous.. - Oh no, it's probably such retro? Therefore, you were visited by unconscious but pleasant thoughts. - "angelic groan of a martyr."

the whims of Aziraphale rubric

Oh, Aziraphale, your bookshop burned down, I'm so sorry!

Crowley, you'll cry about your car later! Go do what I can do myself, but I want you to do it!
