I read "Good Omens" (a book I've had on my shelf since high school) recently and liked it. I also developed a massive crush on Aziraphale (lol).

I then watched the TV series because I might as well.

Season 1 Aziraphale was good. A little more fanservice-y than the book, but I didn't mind, I like Aziracrow as much as anyone.

Season 2, though... I think I like this character best when there's an actual plot going on, not a literal coffee shop matchmaking fic. He felt way more juvenile than he did in either the book or Season 1.

On the bright side, I won't be spending exorbitant amounts of money on fan merch for him, I suppose.

Bonus secret: I cannot see TV!Crowley being the top in their relationship. He's so needy. I think he'd love to be spoiled and/or spanked in bed by an angel. His angel, rather.

That opinion on S2 Aziraphale seems pretty close to the fan consensus I've seen.

Coffee shop matchmaking fic is the perfect way to describe s2. The whole time I was watching it, I was like, this is just official fanfic. There wasn’t enough story and there was filler. And I was a HUGE fan of s1 but s2 just left me annoyed.

Curious if you were a fan of the book?

I didn't care for the book (I DNF twoce before just giving up) but I quite liked both seasons of the show.

I liked the book fine but I didn’t get into fandom for GO until I became obsessed with the show.

It really did feel like fanfic!

I mean, bottom Crowley has long been a VERY popular fandom opinion, to the point where expressing different used to get you weird anon hate, I just personally don't understand looking at the TV version of them and thinking Aziraphale is anything other than the pillow princess in this relationship. Between his literal damsel in distress routine and the way he bats his eyes to get Crowley to clean his coat off...

Really? That's unfortunate about fandom. No need to yuck anyone's yum.

If I'd only seen S1, I'd agree with you, yeah. I think S2 Crowley and Tennant playing him as though he were constantly being consumed by longing changed the game, though. In some respects he was giving off "heartsick maiden, never been in love before" more than "cool, seasoned demon" from S1. Which leads to audience members like myself thinking that he might be socially dominant, but submissive in a relationship.

I never got around to watching season 2, because I thought season one was just okay and I wasn't convinced they'd come up with a decent plot. Sounds like season 2 was more fanservicey for shippers who wanted romance? I'm not opposed to that, but if you don't have a decent plot to hang that romance on, write one, ffs.

I love fanart in secrets, especially if it's really great like this one
