What happened in the 1920s?

There are only 2 small mentions of the 20s in the series:

00:29:19 S1E1

[Aziraphale]

"I have several very nice bottles of Chateauneuf-du-Pape in the back. I picked up a dozen cases in 1921, and there's still some left for special occasions."

00:38:04 S2E1

"You see, the record shop was opened by my great grandmother in the 1920s. Originally, our shop was in a corner of Mr. Fell’s bookshop."

I didn't find anything else. But it seems to me this time and the event that happened then are important.

In 1920s, great-grandmother Maggie's record store appeared at the Aziraphale bookshop. In 1921, Aziraphale somehow gets several bottles of French wine (it is stored in the back room, that's the name of Maggie's store). Who was Maggie's great-grandmother?

This wine is for special occasions. Aziraphale and Crowley drink it in 1941 in a romantic candlelit setting. The second time they drink it is in S1E1, when they decide to act together. (Even in the final episode of S1, they drink regular champagne at the Ritz.)

Everything French in the film is connected with love. And Aziraphale has certain difficulties with this. He talks easily about divine love for people and the like. But when it comes to romantic love, it confuses him. (and he couldn't learn French.)

In general, I would be interested to find out more about the events of the 1920s and I hope to see this flashback in S3.

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.

(Not) the theory of Cupid's arrows.

Aziraphale and Crowley arrive at the Tadfield Manor. Aziraphale feels love in this place. The picture shows a man wrapped in a snake, and on top of the gate there is a small angel (simulate the Cupid). The word Tad is also an old-fashioned word for a little boy.

As soon as the heroes pass through the gate, they are shot at. Crowley was hit squarely in the heart, and Aziraphale was hit in the shoulder.

After that, Crowley and Aziraphale's behavior changes - they begin to behave more playfully and even a little flirtatiously. At least two scenes filled with sensual tension take place in this location. If you know what I mean:

I also know one four-letter word. It starts with L...

Yes, Crowley, please. It's so hot here. And maybe it will distract Aziraphale and me from your tight jeans and all that..

Ohh, these divinely swaying skinny hips! ^ ^

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."

A sweet rainbow was left in the book of predictions for Aziraphale.

But for him, the rainbow is only God's "promise not to drown everyone again"

The whims of Aziraphale rubric

-Are you sure you are sure? There you were offered a casket with a nightingale. Angel, why don't you at least take a look?

-Well, no. There's probably a French textbook or the end of the 3 season. Let's get a big gun and you shoot me in the face on stage! Let's be cool!

-Well, I think it would be cool if we kissed. But I don't really care how I spend my time, as long as I'm with you.

a funny theory about Leonardo da Vinci paintings

When I was about to publish my theory, I decided to check if there were already similar ones. And I found this post. My respect. He was before mine. Now, with a clear conscience, I will publish my own.

In this painting by Leonardo da Vinci is Saint John the Baptist. He points to the sky. His gesture signifies the coming appearance of Christ. In Leonardo's painting, John has red hair and a tricky face. Crowley also makes a very similar gesture in the scene where he receives the infant Antichrist. this gesture does not correspond to what he is saying. It amuses me to think that this gesture means - yes, the Antichrist appeared today, but another baby also appeared today. I'm talking about the third baby, who was wrapped in a white blanket. Yes, I'm still hoping for a story about the second coming. Crowley must have met Leonardo. To prove this, he has a copy of the Joconda. His painting has an inscription (a whole sentence) and a signature at the bottom.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to make out what is written there. It would be funny if Leonardo painted his Joconda, and then St. John with Crowley. That's why they both have redheads and such sly smiles) And the letter J could mean Joconda or John. Although I prefer my other theory with the letter J.

Dark-n-Stormy

There is a Dark-n-Stormy cocktail on the menu today. According to some sources, it was invented in the 1920s in Bermuda by the British brothers. Ginger beer, lime juice and dark rum, which gives the drink the color of a thundercloud. I hope this drink will make it a little easier to wait for the S3. They say it helps with motion sickness (on an emotional roller coaster.)
