book fans have long recognized Aziraphale & Crowley as being "ineffable husbands": agender immortal life-partners. they don't have human genitalia nor libido but can mimic the former if they "make an effort" (quote). so. asexual by default. (but not necessarily sex-repulsed nor wholly celibate) on Crowley: while he is a demon, he was an angel first & he is never mentioned as being personally involved in physical seduction. furthermore, his demonic co-workers seem more disgusted by humans than anything else. aziraphale the angel on the other hand? HE HUNG OUT WITH OSCAR WILDE. if anyone in this partnership has sexual curiosity and experience, it's aziraphale.

@@iamqueenkk while I understand why Neil Gaiman might not want to make significant changes if you look at Pratchett's work, especially his later work, there really is nothing to suggest that Pratchett would have been offended by the change.

"'gay people prevent men from being friends'' I don't agree with people who say this, you can still be friends with someone and be in a romantic relationship, you don't just stop being friends the minute you date someone, isn't the whole point of a relationship to be based on chemistry ? as in liking each other and doing things together. Also you could make the exact same argument regarding a male and a female, remember how Mulder and Scully where good platonic friends only for the fandom to then basically ship them enough that the show made it cannon.

[@quirkyblackenby]

It’s also such a weird argument because so many of the friendships people think are gay is because their relationship is romance coded. My brother has very close friendships but none of them feel like they would date each other. Guys can be friends but sometimes there’s something else going on too.

[@squashfei8907]

Yeah people who say that never say the same thing about romantic-coded friendships between a man and a woman.

[@Thed538dhsk]

To play devils advocate, a lot of men and women think that men/women can’t be “just friends” and there is very little platonic male and female relationships in media. I remember years ago people desperately wanted Steve and Natasha together instead of being platonic.

[@nomisunrider6472]

Honestly it's the other way around. Men are afraid to be friends because they might be seen as gay. If they weren't afraid of being seen as gay, they would be more open with each other.

[@Thed538dhsk]

@@nomisunrider6472 But showing all close male relationships that aren’t strictly family based as romantic does hurt the perception that bros can “act gay” but just be close and its platonic. It’s case by case, if the writers and actors or creators of these characters operated as “secret gays” but couldn’t go the full distance due to higher ups well then clearly those characters are gay. Example is Hannibal was written as gay but the writer developed over time from seeing the chemistry of the actors so they didn’t start off as gay but maybe by the end of the show they were “meant” to be

[@ButterflyScarlet]

​@@mythvideos2020 I understand where you're coming from, but Crowley does appear feminine and androgynous multiple times, most notably when he decides to be a nanny (his own choice, so it wasn't a "haha male character in women's clothes what comedy!" moment). Maybe this is just me, but I don't typically announce my sexuality/gender unless asked, and the plot did not ask. It wasn't a story about them, they are just the POV characters watching the end of the world and trying to stop it. It's a visual media, therefore "show, don't tell" and they showed Crowley looking very genderfluid even in the historical outfits. Plus it's in the book that all angels are all agender/asexual unless they make an effort to be something else. Everyone who knows them canonically believes that the two are dating. I know not everyone could read the book, but it's there and it's been canon for over 20 years.

[@mythvideos2020]

My point wasn't that it isn't canon, or that the existing material is *problematic*. I adore the show and was an enormous fan of the book and it's depiction of angelic gender, etc. My point was just that I wish the casual viewer got a few more signals that that representation is supposed to be there. It's great for fanfiction that these things are canon, and it means a lot to me that they put that in, but in practice a lot of viewers won't even notice. The thing about angelic gender isn't discussed, and the only people who know about it are the people who actively care enough to look.
