German Keys From The 15th Century

‼️

🙃 Regular reminder that while Hozier has amazing love songs, he is ALSO very outspoken about his leftist politics, specifically anti-fascism, anti-racism, reproductive rights, Palestinian rights and more.

Take Me To Church and Foreigner’s God are scathing critiques of organized religion, specifically the Catholic Church and the colonization of Ireland.

Moment’s Silence is about oral sex but it’s ALSO about how that specific sexual act is often distorted to a show of power rather than that of love.

Nina Cried Power is an homage to various (mostly Black) civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.

Be criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.

Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism and about protest and resistance.

Swan Upon Leda is about reproductive rights and the violent colonial oppression of Ireland and Palestine.

Eat Your Young is about the ruinous way the 1%/capitalism and arms dealers prioritize short-term profit over everything else to the detriment of the youth/99%

Butchered Tongue is about Irish and other indigenous languages being suppressed and erased by imperial powers.

If any of the above surprised you, please, please delve deeper into Hozier’s music, you’re missing such an important part of his work.

Okay, I’ve just realised something and forgive me if it’s obvious to everyone else.

Crowley is the serpent.

Aziraphale is the angel of the eastern gate, technically on apple tree duty.

Their love is the apple. Their love is the forbidden fruit. It is right there in full view of both of them the whole time. The ultimate temptation. Absolutely forbidden. A betrayal of their God-designated roles and if they taste it, it’ll change everything.

The serpent whispers that they should eat it.

The guardian protects it.

And so their dance continues down the centuries. But they elaborate on it, getting closer and closer until ultimately, it’ll be inevitable. They’ll take a bite.

Makes you wonder what God’s really planning, huh?

Okay okay things I loved. because yes I’m devastated but I loved SO MANY THINGS.

EPISODE 1, I LOVED the absolutely manic angel Crowley, brilliant and distracted. Loved the way Aziraphale introduces himself, while Crowley never does (fast forward to their meeting on the wall, “and you are…” “Crowley”.) Loved Aziraphale’s little eyebrow bounce on ‘you are gorgeous’ and his immediate embarrassment.

Loved Crowley’s miracle on the ‘inclusive’, pulling the miracle into the universe. That Crowley is the one to say ‘let there be light’.

And! Of course! Crowley shielding Aziraphale!

Also also. (I’m going to go into meta again, aren’t I.)

Aziraphale tells Crowley about the humans. Crowley is all about the stars, the nebulae, the mechanics of it all, but Aziraphale already cares about the future humans while Crowley is all ‘this is not just there to twinkle!’ Oh, Crowley will start to care about the Earth, a LOT, later on. But that’s how they are starting out.

And a curious note is, Aziraphale praises Crowley. Deliberately, pointedly. Well, it’s very pretty. And I think you’ve done an excellent job. Is that what you yourself have been missing, Aziraphale? Or is that what angels are supposed to do?

I love how interested Aziraphale is, and how he worries about Crowley already, and how much disquiet there is in their first conversation.

And I do believe that Aziraphale will carry it through all of time: how happy Crowley looked, back then, back there, putting the universe into motion. How absolutely, spectacularly happy.

Crowley + hairstyles

Bonus wet!Crowley:

Aziraphale [about Job being talked to by God]: I don't suppose he's getting any answers.

Crowley: No. But just to be able to ask the question.

The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy.
