When I saw Aziraphale's half-black wings, I was almost expecting to see Crowley rise, and Rise, up to catch him, so they both be half-fallen with black-white wings. Not disappointed though. This was fantastic.
Neither of them are truly fallen or truly an angel. It would have been fantastic in the show in my opinion if Aziraphales wings were a light grey at the end of the show and Crowley's were a dark grey to show they don't fit into the mold of black and white. They've gone as Beelzebub said "Native"
Kitty Wood CinnalsWeird I love both of your ideas. If I had the proper ability to draw this I would. Nevertheless I won't be able to sleep until I do so I shall try
God's narration: Aziraphale had fallen. A long time ago in fact. It had happened slowly, then all at once. A gaze. A touch. A reassuring embrace when the world seemed to crumble before him. He had plummeted helplessly in love with a demon. Now, he falls again, the literal manifestation of those feelings propelling him from Heaven's grasp. But he is not afraid. You see, the knack to falling is that it's far less frightening the second time round.
I'm not exaggerating, I am actually crying after watching this! Aziraphle's little smiles before and after he falls, like he's thinking "He is worth it. I don't want to be an angel if I can't be with him." And when they said 'put your defenses up' and Crowley puts on his sunglasses! That was beautiful! Who gave you the power to evoke such emotions!?
@@Ehgus_Sughe Let’s just agree, if there’s no Season 3 to fix this mess, Season 2 never happened… Except for that Gabriel x Beelzebub thing, that was cute…
Oh my god. I love how it looks like Aziraphale is *praying* before he jumps. Like, he's falling because of what Heaven represents, and because he wants more than their sterile definition of 'love', not because he's got any problems with God herself, and he wants Her to know that.
Heaven: You can’t meet with Crowley anymore! Aziraphale: I’m going to do what’s called a pro gamer move I love the start of Crowley carrying him to the sofa and HEY YOU GOT HIS WALKING RIGHT Also Aziraphale’s led light heart is absolutely beautiful The way you draw the way Crowley moves- I am loving the subtle sass he has! AND THE LIL ANIMATIONS THEYRE SO NICE loving the wings btw This was spectacular- hit me right in the feels, I am living for How Aziraphale decided to fall just for Crowley.
I'm sorry, but I think when Aziraphale lied about what happened to his sword, She just said to herself. "Your lying to protect the humans? The humans *I* made? The humans I cast out Lucifer for because he didn't love them as he loved Me?" And then decided Aziraphale would only fall if he turned on humanity, because he showed that he was willing to fall to protect them. Then Crowley struts in, and God now is a shipper!
I may or may not have been reading that last part too fast and read “God is now a shipper” as “God is now a stripper”... Though I like the idea of God shipping these two.
Azrafael never lied, he told the truth. When asked where is the sword he said, "It's around here somewhere" IE he didn't say I lost it, he didn't say I misplaced it, he didn't even say I gave it away, he said," It's around here somewhere..." obviously the boss doesn't like liars we see this because when Adam is asked did you eat from the tree(he's wearing fig leaves and hiding or rather trying to hide, he's naked while talking) he lies, blames his other half who also lies blaming it on the snake... As the sword eventually turns up as one of the accoutrements of the four horsemen, it stands to reason God knew where it was all along, therefore god aproved to the fact that Azrafael didn't lie but didn't tell all he knew and that he was trying to protect the silly children in a way befitting of a good teacher, in fact one gets the opinion that if the boss had wanted at any time as Azrafael would have joined the rest of the fallen but he hasn't really fallen he was doing what he was supposed to do, protecting the Creator's younger children (if you want to call them that) like a good big brother probably also approves of Crowley for the same reason, you know the bad big brother who's in with a bad crowd but still has enough good in him that when push comes to shove he's not going to throw his little brother to the wolves and technically that's what would have happened at the end of the story if they hadn't done what they did which makes plain Agnes Nutter's last prophecy so very well.
@@ihgoldstein6274 I'm sorry, your paragraph was incredible. But he did say he misplaced it and he's sure it's around somewhere, that he'll forget his won head next time.
@Abi the fallen human Actually you can find the scene at the very beginning of Good Omens third episode, God: Aziraphel Angel of the Eastern Gate... Azrafael: Yes Lord... God: Where is the flaming sword I gave you to guard the gate of Eden? Azrafael:. Sword, right, ah big sharp cutty thing yes... Ah...oh must have put it down here somewhere...um...(light signifying god moves just before) forget my own head next... Not a lie as he "put it down there some where" down being outside of heaven and Eden. Doesn't lie by saying he lost it, implies but Never says he misplaced it(again no lie involved) God leaves him before he can put his foot in it, as it were...lol
The expression on Crowley's face when he reads Zira's letter pulls so many god damned heartstrings gahhh and the how beautifully fluid the catching animation was
Oh wow, this is beautiful! Aziraphale initiating his biggest anxiety so he doesn't have to fear it anymore is such an intriguing idea and honestly, the biggest power move, lmao. Also the catching scene was so fluid and I loved it
Elliart 7 thank you! And yes, Aziraphale is an anxious character but thinking of Crowley makes him strong so he can be brave enough to face his fears ^^
The part where Crowley mouths 'too close' was sooo good. And the part when he lets out his wings out which leads to that one frame with Crowley falling?! Aaaaaakk... this is too good for me
Honestly, I can imagine Gabriel coming just above the crest as Zira is just starting to fall. All Zira sees is Gabriel's face of both pity and disgust and maybe a bit of sorrow. But you can't stop an Angel who wants to fall.
The moment Crowley found the letter and run to the car. I bet he thaught: This time its even more important to not be too late. Bentley, you have to be faster than ever before. This is much more serious than Armageddon !! This time its about my Angel. Oh, I could try to tell you how an amazing masterpiece of art you create but I dont know enough words. So just Thank you
i don't even have words for how much i love this and also how much that hurt?? like my god just,, the emotions, the scene choices, those frames of aziraphale tilting off the edge of heaven,, good LORD
Heaven: You can’t see Crowley Aziraphael: Completely disregards that and becomes apart of the fallen so he can be with his love Heaven: No, this isn’t how you’re supposed to play the game-
I'm screaming. I can't form coherent words. This was so beautiful. TBH I haven't seen a Good Omens animatic where Aziraphale falls, this was so beautiful. I started screaming when he went to heaven and my slow ass brain finally caught up. And Crowley freaking caught him and I cant. I just cant my dear this was beautiful!
so i discovered this after season 2, and needless to say i'm half wishing this alternate timeline wasn't so alternate, at least then i'd have some happiness intact lol
sorry but like... Crowley in his bed, the expression on his face, the 'too close' he says and his wings spreading like... I felt that and Aziraphale's little 'this is what I must do in order for us to be happy' smile is like... gosh it's everything. Honourable mention to Crowley's face when he reads the letter because that also killed me. Well done, I am a ruin and this was beautiful.
*Crowley, my dear,* the letter began *I have been considering this for quite a long time now, and I think it's time to act on the plan. My* [the word "confrontation" here was scratched out and replaced with] *interaction with the archangels the other day has made my decision for me I think. At the very least it convinced me it may in fact be a good idea. We have long since known that a mere friendship was dangerous for the both of us, let alone anything beyond. Anything like what we have. This danger has only arisen because of our sides, and as rubbish as you think they are, they still exist, and the danger they pose is real. That is why I've decided to join you. I believe there is one true way to allow this to happen without fear of catastrophic retaliation.* *That solution is falling.* *I hope to see you soon, my love. I will be okay. I can promise you that. This will be over soon. And it will be alright. I've made my choice, love.* *Your Angel,* *for the final time,* *Aziraphale* *I love you dearly*
Lyrics: "Look who's digging their own grave That is what they all say You'll drink yourself to death Look who makes their own bed Lies right down within it And what will you have left? Out on the front doorstep Drinking from a paper cup You won't remember this Living beyond your years Acting out all their fears You feel it in your chest Your hands protect the flames From the wild winds around you Icarus is flying too close to the sun And Icarus's life, it has only just begun It's just begun Standing on the cliff face Highest fall you'll ever grace It scares me half to death Look out to the future But it tells you nothing So take another breath Your hands protect the flames From the wild winds around you Icarus is flying too close to the sun And Icarus's life, it has only just begun This is how it feels to take a fall Icarus is flying towards an early grave You put up your defenses when you leave You leave because you're certain Of who you want to be You're putting up your armor when you leave And you leave because you're certain Of who you want to be, oh Icarus is flying too close to the sun And Icarus's life, it has only just begun This is how it feels to take a fall Icarus is flying towards an early grave" Fonte: LyricFind
@@magismol-v4797 All the lyrics in music lyrics websites that I saw said "foe", that's where I got this lyrics but really makes sense if it's actually said "fall"? I don't really know, this is very confusing...
I recommend “pray for us icarus” and “The Rose and the Serpent” Both by the same author on ao3, and very good reads to fill that ineffable hole in your heart
That incredible moment moment where Aziraphale jumps off right as the song pauses, letting you take it in... the way his wings turn black as he falls, the way he keeps imagining Crowley to give himself hope!! I adore wings of all kinds but that transition to black hits me right in the heart. And I guess that Crowley can’t really call Aziraphale his angel anymore, huh? Oh well, he’ll probably keep doing it! And everything about this gives a whole new meaning to the Fell in Aziraphale’s human name!
Whiskered Wolf thank you!! Crowley definitely keeps calling him angel. Because Aziraphale will never stop being his angel, and also probably denial. I wonder if Zira wouldn’t want to use that name anymore because it’s a reminder of what happened ?
My first reaction was "Oh ok it's ok" "It's getting extremely sad! Don't fall!" "Uuuhhhh the wings look nice while changing colour" 3:33 "OMG THAT WAS SMOOTH AF" *Repeats that scene* "Ohhhhhhh"
the whole thing was amazing but the bridge startitng with 'you put up your defenses when you leave' and crowley's sunglasses and 'you leave because you're certain of who you want to be' is just so goooood
Aziraphale falling just for Crowley made my heart swell. This is beautiful. You could tell he's been thinking about this for a while and even though the act of falling scares Aziraphale, never being allowed to be with the one he loves scares him far more. He knows Crowley is worth it, he knows he'll be happier in Crowley's arms then he ever was in heavens grace. The knowing smile as he falls, the love in his eyes when Crowley catches him just sets in stone just how much being with Crowley ment more to him then being an Angle. If they ever do a second series I really hope that they do this. That Aziraphale falls for the one person in the world he loves more then anything. Beautiful animatic, beautiful story and my new favourite thing on the Internet. Thank you. Also, on a side note I adore the wings! You draw them so well. Please teach me you ways!! XD
Dangit I can't shake the mental image of him standing on that cloud, ready to jump. And then Heaven is like... "No...no...That's. That's not -...you don't *litterally* fall it's a metaphor." And he just does his soft. "Oh. Of course."
Can I just say how wonderful it is that you emphasized that falling is a CHOICE (maybe sometimes unintentional, but still a choice in the end)?? Edit: a typo, lol
I'm literally going to read Good Omens and watch the show just to make a fan fiction for this. Mark my words, it may take a bit but I will link you when it's done.
The art is AMAZING, but holy fuck it made me cry. Crowley's tiredness, his worry, his care, then his panic. Aziraphale's fear, then his resolution - god the glowing hearts!! This must have been so much work and it's so beautiful!! I can't take it, Crowley's panic when he read the letter. The entire scene gripped me so damn tight. And then the glow again - awdedfsfsef. This is just so much. It's so amazing, despite the fact that it ALWAYS makes me cry.
THIS IS SO GREAT!!!!!!!! aaa there are so many good omens animatics that just recount the plot of the show, so it's so refreshing to see one based on an AU! it really makes me fall (pun intended) in love with this fandom all over again.... AND I ADORE THIS IDEA. AA. also that lil animation of crowley catching aziraphale as he falls..... puts me in a GLASS CASE OF EMOTION. oh and headcanon that crowley keeps calling aziraphale "angel" even after he's technically not, so it PROPERLY becomes a term of endearment ;)
Oh my stars I love the animation at 2:00! It is so fluid and on the beat and dramatic! Also, the way you draw the wings really conveys their volume and weight!
Alina Fang I’ve had that image in my head (or something similar) whenever I listened to the song, it was kind of the reason I used this song for the animatic in the first place ^^ and thank you! I like making wings look nice n’ substantial
Aaaaaah so many parts of this are just amazing!!! Crowley putting on his sunglasses at the line "put up your defences" Aziraphale deciding to fall from heaven! I love it all! Just arrcsikfbkugcrhnstkcdt!!
jskfksj I am going to scream. This is amazing. The emotions are so well done!! And I _love_ the visual of Aziraphale falling! And the light heart! And Crowley's movements are so on point! And I just-- this is incredible
I WAS REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE BASTILLE AND GOOD OMENS?? HELL YEAH BUT NOW IM CRYING INTO MY BREAKFAST SO- but also I yelled when Crowley put on his glasses for the line”you put up your defenses when you leave” like that was SO GOOD I-
There was once a story of two. An unlikely pair no one saw or knew. One of a angelic heart with wings pure as driven snow. The other with wings black as the darkness where he dwells below. Both joined on the Earth, yet could not touch. For it one gets to close to the other, they will lose power just as much. They would laugh, cry, and shout. One would be wise, while the other is stout. From just existing to being more than separate strangers. They grew close in heart and mind, despite the growing dangers. One day, the other feels the pain of being together, but separate. He decides to make a choice that is desperate. Despite the pleas, bargains, and threats around him. He rather be with him than live forever alone with them. With one last act, he took to the skies above. Bearing his wings with lasting grace as a dove. A final flight for a Angel of light, As he falls below to his lover of the night. Where he awaits to embrace and keep him close And protect him from wandering foes. For they have a hidden light that is from below and above. What can be more powerful than love?
Magismol-v ^^ Thank you. I came up with it from listening to this and I had to learn poetry. So, why not try my hand at poetry, while listening to this awesome song?
I knew what I was signing up for when I saw the title bUT I WASN'T PREPARED FOR THE EMOTIONS??? LIKE OH MY _GOD_ THIS IS GREAT- Animation? GREAT Story? GREATER Crowley's walking? PERFECTION The wings? I'M JELLY
Wow, I never cried that fast!!! I absolutely love Aziraphale falling on his own free will just for Crowley and his freedom. The light on their chest resembling his will also crushed my heart, beautiful work!!!
I’m in tears! This was a masterpiece truly. It warmed my heart when Aziraphale fell and Crowley was there to catch him. This was beatiful. I am in love with your artstyle as well. Keep up the great work 😊 😇 😈
When I saw the start I immediately thought "this is probably what happened after season 2" but when I saw Aziraphale in the bookshop I went "nevermind"
You know this is very deep and thought provoking because if Azirophale committed suicide he would be discorporated and would probably turn into a demon because suicide is a sin and Crowley doesn’t want Azirophale to suffer as he did. It’s so sweet and caring 🥺
i cant express with words how much i love this the expressions and positions you used were perfect. the song matches up so well with this story too. I loved the parts where their actions lined up with the rhythm of the song. the end brought a genuine tear to my eye. this is amazing. thank you for creating it
I have to be honest and say that this animatic has got to be by far my favorite Good Omens animatic of the year!!💜 I find myself watching this over again at least once a week. (I also fell in love with the song, so thank you!)😊
Like- I know next to nothing about this show- but the sheer beauty of your work- how fluid the story and frames are- I'm taking my own fall and I'm LOVING it!!!
Do you know what Angelica said when she read what you’d done? She said you’ve married an Icarus. He’s flown too close to the sun IM SORRY THE LYRICS I HAD TOO!
You and your words obsessed with your legacy Your sentences border on senseless And you are paranoid in every paragraph How they perceive you You, you, you!
Omg that was breathtaking! The details and motion on the wings, the softness and tenderness on their touch, everything is so well put together that it gave me chills! I loved every second of it!
