I don’t have much of a comment on this part... lots of feelings that are difficult to put into words!
oooooh the bartender

Heartbreaking 💔 but at the same time, I love Crowleys look in this one, it suits him

Thank you so much for letting me know. I have to admit I am a sucker for happy endings. But I definitely want to respect those who decide not to go for a happy ending. I feel a deep sense of relief knowing that they will get through this in their own way.

Aww! It's very sad, but at the same time kind of ironic. Demon scolding an angel.

Oh Aziraphale....my heart hurts seeing that face. I’ve seen that face on so many of my loved ones. Poor angel...thanks for writing this important story Whiteley. It could have been all the glitz and glam of the roaring 20’s, which is here in bits and pieces too, but this I think is at the core of so many stories about this time period. 💔

Crowley is right. I can't imagine it would go well for Aziraphale in heaven if he discorporated due to a drug addiction. Urg 💔😢

2020-06-21 17:06:55 +0000 UTC
Entirely possible! It could be read as that or as aziraphale being started not wanting to be interrupted. And don’t worry, there will be a happy ending
Whiteley Foster
2020-06-21 16:35:12 +0000 UTC
Also I have to ask. Was it Crowley who slammed the door behind him so that way Aziraphale couldn’t run away again?
Satoshistar7
2020-06-21 16:24:40 +0000 UTC
I’m willing to follow the story to the end. Even if there is pain to be had. It is truly a beautifully written work. There is a Part of me hoping that kinder times will happen in the future, but if it’s not meant to be in the story I have no doubt that you will do that justice.

The look of guilt in Aziraphale eyes is so hurtful.

I love how you had Crowley say “clothing” and not just “glasses.” Even though it’d still be incredibly invasive to remove anyone’s glasses without consent, it shows us how important Crowley feels they are. You are doing such a great job with an emotional story! I’m waiting until they finish this conversation to try and say something meaningful on the subject of addiction. But I’m so glad they are talking! And as always, your art is beautiful! Angel tears! 👌😭❤️

Well, that last bit really punched me in the gut - I hadn't even considered what the drugs were doing to Aziraphale's corporation! Uuuuugh, and Crowley cares so much! ♡

Those enormous and not quite focused eyes in the last panel. And of course he can explain. This is very raw, ouch

I don't know if anybody mentioned it before, but i love how you reflect Aziraphale's mental state in his clothing. His outfit is still in "angelic" colors from the show, but there's lot of black! And i do love this small detail in the last couple of updates

No you’re completely right. Sometimes we think we’re helping and all we do is push each other down side avenues. You say you’ll be there to help but in the end you don’t know how.
Whiteley Foster
2020-06-21 13:24:42 +0000 UTC
you are almost surely right, especially considering that even now sometimes people haven't got access to much needed information and help, so if my comment sounds judgemental or anything it certainly was not meant to be this way, on the contrary it was a way of justifying everything my own mind

Pretty sure the current intervention methods didn't exist in 1926. People were on their own trying to help their loved ones.

So horrible. Is it just me or has it gotten to the point that Aziraphale is losing weight??? Also loved the wonky lines of the first panel - the world through the eyes of an addiction.
Amy Diane Short

I’m assuming some of us know this, but: One of the things they teach folks in meetings and literature for families/friends of addicts is that the addict needs to hit THEIR rock bottom before they can start to change and have it stick.
I’m so worried about what Aziraphale’s rock bottom will be. I’m so so hopeful that Crowley snapping at him will be that point, realizing he’s effected more than his own life, but I have my doubts based on his denial. (Or maybe I am just projecting 🤞🏻)
The art is so beautiful (as always) and the story is so... it just really hits the heart. Thank you for posting and for talking about these things so well.

This muted color palette is so effective. Since he's an angel I thought "how's that going to work" with the addiction theme and you handled by saying it's his human form that's addicted, great job!

ooooh, this is very hard to process all this emotions, theirs and my own after this chapter 😔
very hard topic and I don't know how to feel about Crowley shouting, bc yeah, he is so deeply worried and probably feeling utterly helpless, he needs to wake him up, to snap him out of it, but also it might lead to a breakdown, to Aziraphale further isolating and all... the toughest situation to find oneself in for both of them, hope they'll find a way out of it that will hurt less than others 😔❤️
sending you all the needed additional strength, love and support ❤️❤️❤️
