i have mixed feelings about the prediction that “aziraphale and crowley are going to adopt muriel” because like, yes muriel is very naive about everything earth and is probably going to need a+c’s help navigating at least a few times (and also they seem quite precious lol), but it’s not because they’re young it’s because they’ve never been to earth. gabriel’s corporation looks older but he is also shown to have little idea of how to pretend to be human since he doesn’t like going to earth. i think it’s safe to assume the angels are all of similar ancient ages even if their corporations look of different ages. my point being, idk if it would really feel like parent and kid rather than new trainee and veteran *insert work position here* with a side of “oh bless their heart”
also small side tangent, would muriel even know enough about dads to be like “these guys are like dads to me”. like, i doubt they don’t know the concept of a father figure, but i doubt the angels have any parent figures other than maybe God? so idk if they would really think about a+c and be like “im getting father vibes”
that said, while i don’t think their going to be like parent and child, i do like the idea of their relationship being “older coworker that is nice and showing to ropes to them and they have respectful admiration for them” and “very new trainee they feel protective over because you know what that’s not their trainee that’s now their work kid”, yknow? i mean tbf aziraphale and muriel were technically colleagues before the failpocalypse, and since the arrangement a+c have basically been doing the same job lol.
also the first time muriel is a passenger in the bentley and crowley has to quickly stop he automatically does the parental instinct arm barrier, obviously
