When Agatha and Billy find Tommy I kinda want him to remember everything that happened inside of the hex. He would remember spending time with the Version of Billy in the hex and he’d remember Wanda and Vision as his parents, it would be so good.
Because then we’d have one twin who managed to save himself, but does not have any memories of being Billy nor of Wanda, Vision and Tommy. He can just sense Tommy being around and missing a part of him. Not having these memories Billy has canonically found a new family for himself (Agatha, Williams Parents, Eddie) and he doesn’t see Wanda and Vision as parental figures because he does not remember their love. He only knows what he was told about Wanda and that’s all been awful.
Meanwhile Tommy would only have that. Everything that’d have ever happened to him would be what happened in the hex so he would cling to it. He would beg Billy to remember as well and he would probably hate Agatha for what she did to his mom (at least at first) and not understand how Billy could see her as a mentor / aunt / parental figure.
My point being: Billy wouldn’t see Wanda and Vision as his parents and Tommy would. Thus: The Angst. The Conflict. Tommy trying to get Billy to remember just to realize that the Billy HE remembers ISNT THE CURRENT BILLY.
And BILLY having gone through ABSOLUTE HORRORS to get Tommy back only to be COMPARED to a version of himself that he doesn’t remember over and over AND OVER

“I knew liking girls could be hard when you’re also a girl. It usually was, at least for a while. But it was beautiful too. So fucking beautiful. Liking girls when you’re a girl was power. It was light. Hope. Joy. Passion. Sometimes it took girls who liked girls a little while to find that. But when they found it, they flew.”

"We would go on to play this show in the pouring rain, in the blazing heat, in the thickest humidity, in the wildest winds, and in the bitter cold. We would do it if we were sick or exhausted or injured. We would do it with a broken heart. We do this because we love having the rare opportunity to create happiness and wonder up on that stage. We do it because we know it takes time and effort and money and energy to plan out coming to a concert. We do it because every friendship bracelet traded has the potential to become a new friend, and you never know what dreams can be sparked if we succeed in painting a dreamscape in every city we visit. We do it because people need an escape from how brutal life can be, and it is the honor of a lifetime to be that for them, if only for a night. And although we are all on our own in this big scary life, somehow it doesn’t feel that way when we're singing the same words as 80,000 other people wearing glittery face paint. We do it because life comes in waves, in phases, in brilliant flurries of magical moments, and all of these things come together to create... Eras." THE ERAS TOUR (MARCH 17, 2023 - DECEMBER 8, 2024)
#this is SO me
apologies to anyone who ever thought i was cool and reached out to me only to discover i am just a weird little hermit who can't carry on a conversation to save my life
I'm creating this post in order to support the theory that Aziraphale and Crowley didn't break up in the end of the second season but are secretly working together. I've also read other posts here, on tumblr, that support this theory, so I'd like to share clues that could verify it even further.
(I'll be using he/they pronouns for Crowley)
Signs in the last 15 minutes of the final episode:
Firstly, when Metatron offers Azira Gabriel's position in Heaven, he declines the offer. But once Metatron threatens him (and Crowley) his expression is transformed into one of fear.
When Metatron tells him to "share the good news" with Crowley, Azira's facial expressions betray that he is trying to think how to escape from this dangerous situation while pretending to be excited for the offer. Knowing that Heaven knows about them and that he will be listening and watching his conversation with Crowley makes it difficult for him.
After he enters the bookshop, if you notice his hands, you will see that he is trying to show Crowley that something is wrong. Throughout most of this scene, his body language and voice pitch are trying to alert Crowley.
At the very start of their conversation, once Crowley starts speaking, Azira keeps on repeatedly lowering his hands as if to tell Crowley to stop talking while looking sideways toward the window, trying to communicate that The Metatron is listening in on their conversation.
People have also pointed out that he does the time-out gesture while mouthing something (I think his sentence starts with "We", but I could be wrong), before he says "So, uh, The Metatron" while pointing at his direction.
Azira is also smiling too much and his voice pitch is higher than normal. He did this on purpose, so that Crowley would notice that something was amiss.
The problem was that Crowley was so overwhelmed by his/their own emotions and need to confess that he/they didn't notice any of the signals.
During Crowley's confession, Azira looked very confused, as he thought that Crowley would have picked up on his signals, while also looking worriedly sideways.
By the time Crowley's walking toward the exit, Azira's voice is pleading, trying to make him understand once more that they are in danger.
"To Heaven", "Work with me!", "We can be together.", "Angels", "Doing good!": I think that he was saying these separately hoping that the message would get across.
While Aziraphale is saying all that, Crowley is looking out the window and I believe that's the point when he/they realize(s) what Azira has been trying to tell him/them. He/They probably saw The Metatron while looking out the window, which can also be proved by the fact that his/their gaze was glued to it (or what was beyond it).
"I NEED you" and "I don't think you UNDERSTAND..." was confirmation for Crowley, and Azira's last desperate attempts at getting the message across.
By the time Crowley says "I understand" he has/they have realized that Metatron is listening in on their conversation.
Crowley says "listen" while pointing one fingers upwards - trying to show he understands.
And Azira looks twice upwards and then sideways.
Azira's expression when Crowley says "No nightingale" makes me wonder whether nightingale was a coded word. I think that it was for Crowley. I am not sure if that was when Azira realized that Crowley understood, since he hid his face, when Crowley went in for the kiss, to hide his evident emotions.
Personally, I believe that Aziraphale either realized it when Crowley pointed upwards and with "nightingale" or during the kiss (Supposing that Crowley stopped time at that moment).
I believe that Crowley stopped/paused time, so that they could talk (Azira's time-out expression makes a lot of sense in this context) and that what happened after the kiss, if not also the kiss itself, were staged.
The biggest proof is that while Azira is standing in front of the elevator, looking at Crowley, he mouths something to him/them that seems a lot like "Trust me". (Does this remind you of something? I'll come back later to it.)
The only thing that can explain that is if they stopped time and devised a plan.
Other people have also pointed out that 15 minutes have gone by between their "fallout" and Metatron entering the bookshop.
The look he gives Crowley before he enters into the elevator seems conspiratorial to me and the smile he puts on for The Metatron is fake but not in his usual people pleasing way. I think there is an edge to it.
Additionally, I believe that if Crowley was heartbroken he/they would have been so bitter and sad that he/they would have left immediately. Instead, what he/they did was look at Nina and then Maggie. I don't think that he/they would have cared for that if he was/they were an emotional wreck.
The song The Bentley played: I used to think that the car was mocking him, but now I see it as more proof that they're still a team. The Bentley can sense Crowley's feelings. So, supposing that at some point during their fallout scene Crowley stopped time, they devised a plan, Azira explained and probably confessed, it's only natural that the car would play this song. Crowley knows that Azira chooses him/them over Heaven but probably isn't extremely happy with Azira going back to Heaven risking his entire existence, even if it's to protect them - hence why the "Trust me".
Crowley even sat and listened to the song for a few seconds - probably because he knows he is being watched and has to look sad and miserable and this is the only chance he gets to savour the fact that his/their love is reciprocated. Also, I believe that if the fallout was real, The Bentley would have played a sad song (like "Love of My Life").
Other signs throughout the second season:
Unlike season 1, the flashbacks in S2 are focused on their dynamic as a team. In all the flashbacks they secretly work together to achieve something. I know that the reason for this is that in this season we see them operating as a team, but I believe that it's also a hint for the ending.
The major themes throughout the flashbacks (and even in the present) are trust and illusions.
In Job's flashback, they tricked the angels right in front of their eyes. The fake birth, the children, the fire, the goats disguised as crows. It was all staged. Everything was a well-crafted illusion.
For the first time, Azira lied to the Angels and thought he would be damned for it. -> Now, he lied right into The Metatron's face without even flinching.
They also tricked the angels because they didn't know a lot about the human ways, which is why The Metatron wants him in charge of the 2nd Coming - it could be a hint at their plan/actions for S3.
1941 is the biggest proof among the flashbacks.
Azira mouthed "Trust me" to Crowley during his magic act.
He mouthed "Trust me" to Crowley before getting into the elevator.
Crowley trusted him in 1941 which proves that he/they will do it again.
A magic show is all about creating illusions. The magician creates an illusion for the audience.
So, just like in 1941, they are putting on a performance based on illusion for their audience (Heaven, Hell), when in reality they are working together behind the scenes.
In addition to this, in 1941 they were threatened by Furfur who had undeniable proof of their relationship/partnership (whom Azira dealt with by performing a magic trick) and now they are also threatened by The Metatron who also has proof of their "de facto partnership".
In the present: 1. "You don't own me" was the song that was playing the first time Azira entered Maggie's shop. This was probably not intentional, but it is a song that describes Azira's current thoughts on Heaven. We see that in the present time he doesn't buy their lies anymore. Crowley is his priority.
To end this looong post, I want to add that Aziraphale was willing to part with some of his books just so that he would have the perfect excuse to danse with Crowley, which is proof that Crowley is his priority and he is willing to sacrifice a lot to ensure that they will be able to openly love each other while also being safe.
If you have something to add to this theory, feel free to do so in the comments. I would love to see if there's something else I haven't noticed that could further support this theory.
If you have managed to reach the end of this post, thank you for your time!
