CW: Implied drug use! And flirting with someone who is not (but strongly resembles) your boyfriend.
Our poor Jazz Baby has been lonely 😢 It's been a year and a half since he's seen Crowley, July of 23 to January of 25
These next five parts are going to be the hardest for me to write I think. Not that it will be smooth sailing after that but this is where it hurts the most
Oh my god i'm going to burst into tears. He's been struggling so hard on his own. i hope crowley will find a way to fix it as usuale :(

Ooh, boy. Time to brace myself then. Take any time away from the story if you need it.
I thankfully didn't experience anything like this, but my both my father and mother had alcoholic fathers. It put off my father from ever drinking, and my mother only drinks wine on special occasions. The repercussions affect more people than they realize.

Oh dear. Aziraphale has been doing poorly on his own :(

Take your time Whiteley. It’s a hard story. ❤️❤️ for a little cheer up, I’ve ordered so many of your prints my husband just says “hey you got something from Whitely!” to alert me about my mail. It makes you sound like a friend which I love as you ARE! 😘

Thank someone Crowley is back! It's going to be painful to bring him back to a healthy place, but at least you can get started together now. Your angel needs you, Crowley!

I’m glad you are dealing with it openly and honestly. A culture of secrecy and shame around addiction led my father to hide my mother’s addiction until she had done irreparable harm to herself. The more people are honest about it and it’s struggles, the more people I think will have a chance. Thank you for sharing darling. ❤️

Oh my goodness I thought I was gonna have a heart attack when the bartender freaked out 😅 Poor Angel! Has he been sleeping around too?

Also I just want to add that their expressions and the added dark colors to Aziraphale's outfit tell so much of the story, and you're an amazing artist for being able to convey so much in such subtle changes!!

I know what you mean, about these next few parts being hard. From personal experience, it's not so bad when you're hurting yourself and no one else knows. It can even be fun and exhilarating! But as soon as someone who cares about you finds out, all the fun-ness gets sucked out and it feels like you're suffocating, drowning in your desire to make them happy and your own desire to continue your destructive path. It's not fun, recovering. It's a necessary evil, though. And I'm so incredibly proud and impressed with you, Whiteley, that you'd share this painful part of your past with us. You'd open up and let us see a part of your soul, so to speak. Fragile and strong at the same time, you let us hold this part of you. And you remind us that even though it does hurt to get better, it's always best to recover, and there will always be people who love you, ready to help you through it. It's a rough journey, and you're an amazingly strong person for taking us on this journey 💖

You’ve drawn them both beautifully. The addition of the dark waistcoat to Aziraphale’s dark bow tie you’ve been doing as he slips further into his bad place is very fitting but speaks volumes 😢 Crowley is so soft and hesitant here! Take care of yourself during the painful bits coming up!

A week! Must've miracled himself back. Unless he booked an airship.

The angel has deep shadows under his eyes and looks worn and tired, but at least the colour palette isn't the harsh greens and purples anymore. Those were really showing Angel's despair and loneliness. Some of those colour tones are still there in the first panels, but especiallly in the picture where he sees Crowley, the palette is back to the warmer brown and red. I hope that signifies that Crowley's arrival will start making things better for him. He must have missed Crowley so terribly to fall down in depression and substance abuse like that, and the stark colours showed us how badly he felt. I love that when he sees Crowley again, the room instantly lights up in warmer colour tones, showing how happy and hopeful he feels. I love how you can show so much feelings and emotions just with the shades of your colour palette. And angel himself is much more grey instead of his natural cream white colours, telling us just how exhausted he is.

Auuughhhhhhhh...! Crowley's hopeful expression. Oh, this is going to hurt so much.

oooooh, Aziraphale doesn't look good or healthy in the slightest...
the fact that the bartender really does have some of Crowley's features and Crowley's little smile when he finally sees his Angel after such a break, oh, it shutters my heart and this is far from ending, but I'm so invested 😔

2020-05-31 11:28:46 +0000 UTC
Yes! Happy ending with pinch of bittersweet. I can’t give a story a sad ending, I just can’t, but both of the boys wrestle with a lot that can’t just be put to bed. It can be held and comforted though

I know you said that this comic will be the angst train down sadness road to depression ville so we can drink from the Crying-like-a River, but... does it have a happy ending?
