Grand Dame Aziraphale (or, Huzzah! for THE Southern Pansy)

I love genderfluid Crowley with my whole heart. But can we focus for a hot moment or two on this Darling Dramatic Dame…?

Aziraphale is such a complex character, skillfully written and masterfully acted – and chronically underestimated. His hypervigilant anxiety (and the tension it causes) is so prominent, the other beautiful traits that make Our Angel who he is are so easily overlooked.

My thoughts keep returning to how Incredibly Poised and Confident Aziraphale is in the body of a woman. The Apocalypse is upon them, they don’t have a unified plan yet, but look at her! In this moment, that’s Aziraphale, not Madame Tracy. But Aziraphale, our dear Angel of Drama, is rocking those eyelashes!

I’m sure that some of Aziraphale’s radiant self-confidence is from his successfully defiance of heavenly authority before escaping back to earth, and his breakthrough in possessing cohabitating a human’s body. And now he gets to stick it to Shadwell. (Aziraphale is no fool – he obviously was aware of Shadwell’s disdain for him.)

The proud lift of the chin, the emphatically widened eyes, the little toss of red curls and dangly earrings… that smug self-assurance as she leans forward with that final quirk of her beautifully sculpted eyebrows… Aziraphale is fully enjoying this!

But that flirtatiously feminine confidence stays with Aziraphale far beyond this moment. At the air base, Aziraphale-in-Mdm. Tracy moves very differently from either Mdm. Tracy herself or from everyday-Aziraphale. It makes me suspect that Azi’s choice of a female form wasn’t a necessary accident.

I think that Azi loves presenting as a human female. I think that Azi feels confident and beautiful this way.

And Crowley…. Well, it seems that Crowley appreciates that quite a lot!

on aziraphale’s insecurities in S2

i’m pretty sure one of the lines in the end scene where crowley shoots himself in the foot the most is “i think i understand a whole lot better than you do,” and i don’t even think he realizes how badly aziraphale takes it.

it’s just a fact to him: he knows better than aziraphale what heaven is like. it’s also a fact to the audience, who knows that the metatron is doing this for bad reasons and that aziraphale is walking into a trap. but it’s not a fact to aziraphale. and that’s the moment aziraphale goes from panicky and anxious to angry.
