This Reminds Me Of The Prologue To Natasha, Pierre, And The Great Comet Of 1812

this reminds me of the prologue to Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812

Crowley: What are your adjectives?  Aziraphale: …You mean my pronouns?  Crowley: No, I know what your pronouns are! What are your adjectives?  Aziraphale: …I dunno. What are yours?  Crowley: Noisy and chaotic!  Aziraphale: I’ve never had something go from making no sense to making complete sense so quickly.

this sounds like something i would do

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

YAY

the kids are all right

🥺🥺🥺

Petition to have a long-term companion named John Smith.

The Doctor does not stop using John Smith as an alias during this time, so good old companion John will:

Do nothing and go about the adventure as the dynamic duo, John Smith and John Smith

Say that he is either the Doctor's son or father depending on how old they both appear (a junior/senior situation)

Come up with a normal human pseudonym himself like Mark or Dave because the Doctor stole his name goddammit

Just fucking introduce himself as the Doctor and completely ruin the point of the Doctor calling himself John Smith

this is wonderful and wonderfully weird /pos

Does anyone want to hear how I ended up using soap made of my betrothed's exes breast milk?

yeah 1 verse per season makes sense. this is going to be lovely if it happens, which i think it will <3

So, there are only three of the original six verses in Tori Amos's version of A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square, right? I was writing a scene from episode five, season 2, so for continuity's sake, I checked the approximate place the song starts up in the Bentley when Crowley starts the car in episode 6.

The song begins to play at around 1:09, just before the interlude and right before the last line verse two:

I may be right, I may be wrong But I'm perfectly willing to swear That when you turned and smiled at me A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

Out of curiosity, I went back to season one, and though it plays on through the credits, the actual footage cuts off right at the tail end of verse one:

That certain night, the night we met There was magic abroad in the air There were angels dining at the Ritz And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

Let's imagine for half a second that since Neil and Tori Amos are friends and her version was recorded specifically for the series, each verse refers to a related event, i.e. Crowley and Aziraphale's season one end Ritz date.

And that though things go entirely south during the following fifteen minutes, verse two perhaps refers to these moments preceding it:

Then it's not out of the realm of possibility that the closing scene of season three could end with verse three:

The streets of town were paved with stars It was such a romantic affair And as we kissed and said goodnight A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

If the established pattern of relating a preceding event continues, then maybe, just maybe, Crowley and Aziraphale will share a kiss- a good, sweet, happy kiss- just before the series ends for good.
