Please please please please please please!🤞
Just thinking about Wild Blue Yonder and the Welsh tradition of Mari Lywd (the horse skull that visits your door), and the Doctor treating the no-things like evil spirits with the salt and then being worried about invoking a superstition at the End of the Universe…
…and then there’s the captain of the ship, literally a horse skull, knocking at the door, invoking this tradition that is shrouded in mystery and is thought to have been originally meant as a way of warding off evil spirits…
finally made my archive of doctor who Confidential able to be shared! here you got the full episodes, the youtube videos, and such! all is here according to the Tardis wiki episode list! (even some of the episodes are in hd, the ones i managed to find in full!
Doesn’t even bear thinking there wouldn’t be the 3rd season.
I think the most heartbreaking thing about the season finale of good omens 2 is how Aziraphale is so excited to "fix" Crowley with his new promotion at heaven, thus leading Crowley to believe (and with good reason) that all this time, Aziraphale thought there was always something wrong with him while he just accepted him as he was.
The fact that Aziraphale cannot see that Crowley would never want to be an angel again and that he rather be human with him and just love each other, even after knowing him for thousands of years is heart-wrenching.
I mean, the fact that seconds before all of That unfolds, they are witness to the fact angels and demons CAN fall in love, and can get away with it. That it's safe to love each other. The fact that Crowley tells Gabriel and Beelzebub to visit Alpha Centauri, just as he and Azi glance at each other. Ah yes, what a deja vu, "We could go off together and go to Alpha Centauri."
Aziraphale's rejection that time not just echoes, it magnifies in the season finale.
But honestly, I love to see Azi's faults fully at play. He still has so much to learn about what love really is despite the fact he's supposed to be "the good one". (On the side, I also really love what a neat little commentary it is on the effects institutional religion has on your moral compass and what you deem lovable and good)
I cannot wait for him to see the error of his ways. For him to realize that love and goodness isn't to be affiliated to any each group just because it's "supposed to be the good one". But I am also curious of how much of a fight Crowley will put up for that reconciliation to happen. He will probably need some major convincing after that huge heartbreak. So, the only way they'll get back together is when Aziraphale is the one loving for two, when he's the one doing the courting and the protecting and the doting. And I. Can. Not. Wait.
Aziraphale loves Crowley so much that he is willing to rebuild heaven for him.
He loves him so much he is willing to give up everything if it means there is a chance he might smile again
Aziraphale loves Crowley so much that he will rewrite existence if Crowley can make stars again
Crowley loves Aziraphale so much that he doesn't need any of that
He loves him so much that he doesn't need heaven, or happiness, or the stars
Crowley loves Aziraphale so much that he is Crowley's heaven, or happiness, or stars
They love each other so much that it blinded them, and they never asked the other how they wanted to be loved
I do think people are forgetting, sometimes willingly, that Aziraphale is JUST as heartbroken over the rejection as Crowley
They did not walk out of there with Crowley destroyed and Aziraphale bummed but getting over it once he was in the elevator. Aziraphale went to Crowley all giddy and excited because he really thought this was finally it, this was finally their chance to be happy, and he sees it as Crowley taking that chance and stomping on it. H wasn’t lying when he said he needed Crowley, he DOES, and now he thinks Crowley chose his hate for heaven over his love for him just as Crowley thinks Aziraphale chose his devotion to god over his devotion to him
It wasn’t as simple as “Aziraphale rejected Crowley” they both think the other rejected them it was essentially the messiest mutual break up you’ve ever seen
They’re both completely heartbroken and do not see the part they played in their own heartbreak. Both thinking THE OTHER caused it. It’s such a mess. It’s SUCH a mess I cannot STAND these two
When we think of an apologetic Doctor, the 10th Doctor immediately leaps to mind. But is he really the most apologetic incarnation? Here's a number crunch of all the times the Doctor has apologised ...
These are from televised episodes/telemovie only, using keywords like 'sorry,' 'apologise,' and 'apology.' Retracted apologies or those used for clarification haven't been included. Episodes counted in serials for classic era. And of course, there's not guarantee how many of these were genuine apologies ...
Most Apologetic Doctor (By Average): The 15th Doctor takes the crown with a whopping 4.67 apologies per episode. Though, given his short stint so far, there's still plenty of time for that to change.
The Usual Suspects: The 10th Doctor, unsurprisingly, ranks high with 2.79 apologies per episode. But the 11th and 13th Doctors nudge him aside with averages of 3.09 and 3.16, respectively.
Not So Sorry?: The 1st Doctor had a measly 0.70 apologies per episode. Grumpy and not in the least bit sorry about it.
The Rise of Remorse: There's a clear trend of increasing apologies as we move through the modern era. Recent incarnations (10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th) seem to be getting more in touch with their feelings.
The Sorriest of Them All: The Tenth Doctor might not be the sorriest on average, but with 145 total apologies, he's got the highest raw number of sorries.
Companion-Driven Apologies: Some Doctors apologise more depending on their companions. For instance, the 12th Doctor's high apology rate coincided with Clara and less so for Bill.

The cottage will be Crowley’s “stars” because he will learn how to do everything himself there and he will be fixing stuff because he likes to know how and besides it’s fun. He’s an engineer after all.
He will be hanging stars again, when he will be hanging lights around the house for Christmas with Aziraphale gazing adoringly at him and taking too many pictures. And he will put the star on top of the Christmas Tree.
That childish happiness? Back on his face from the simple joy of freedom. Of building again - their home.
Aziraphale will still need to be rescued - or his appliances will, after all, Crowley I can’t finish baking if the mixer won’t start working again! Oh to have a husband who fixes the connection in moments and rescues the cake. Crowley will quickly realise that Aziraphale actually enjoys some of those appliances breaking once in a while.
Aziraphale will pretend he cares about fixing cars but mostly he will just learn names of the things so he knows what to give Crowley when he says “pass me the screwdriver” as he works underneath The Bentley. Aziraphale is there for the sweat, dirt and Crowley without a T-shirt, really.
Aziraphale will look at Crowley’s happy face and be so happy that he finally knows exactly how to bring that joy he had as an Angel back on his face.
Freedom. And them.
Who would have thought unscrupulous could be so hot? I've got a feeling that a proper rewatch is long overdue.

the infamous eating scenes
he's so me there.
i honeslty don't know how to classify those
and finally, HE WAS INSANE FOR THIS
people already out there like "that was a straight guys who dont know how to kiss men kiss" and im like a) how dare you imply david tennant wouldnt put his whole pussy into kissing a man for drama and b) they are literally two celestial beings who to all knowledge have NEVER bothered with physically loving anyone, they have no reference or experience, no concept of the reality of it. its the desperate last chance of a being who so horribly wants to know and a being so horribly afraid to learn its about the intent. about the unstoppable force meeting the immovable object in a devastating display
okay so we all know aziraphale DID want to kiss crowley. he wasn’t miserable because of kissing crowley, obviously. he’s in love with crowley. obviously.
BUT LIKE.
aziraphale is a romantic, we know this, yes? he believes in slow, quiet, pretty romances, and dancing at balls together, and romance novels, and love letters, and basically he just believes in love.
i can imagine him lying awake at night, planning out perfect dates, and imagining what the moment will be like when he finally musters up the courage to kiss crowley- maybe the sun will be setting, or it’ll be golden hour, because at golden hour crowley’s eyes always look breathtaking, and they’ll be alone, and maybe in a field of flowers…
and then. crowley finally kisses him, and it’s not at all how he expected. it’s not slow, quiet, or pretty, it’s angry, and petty, and there are tears in crowley’s eyes, and it’s a last resort. it’s crowley trying to show him what he’d be missing if he leaves, it’s crowley cornered and breaking glass in case of emergency, it’s crowley hurt and lovesick and reaching for aziraphale’s heart and hoping that the one time it really counts, he doesn’t miss.
FUCK.
Doctor Who, Good Omens and basically everything DT is in | Not a shipper per se, but feel rather partial to tensimm f***ed-up dynamics. Some other stuff as well - Classic Rock (mostly British), Art Deco, etc
