I mean, ok, yes 90% of it is about the crushing loss of A's faith in Heaven, his dawning realisation that really, truly, nobody is listening…but it is also 10% about HIS FACE. (Specifically, it was me vidding this twitter thread: https://twitter.com/CharCubed/status/1141531169839886337?s=20)
You made me think of that exact Twitter thread, so, you know, vidding accomplished.
He and Crowley have chosen *knowledge*, and freedom
"Time to leave the garden".
Also! It's an extension of what Aziraphale's already figured out with "Demons can" and hopping back to Earth to possess people -- that Heaven and Hell and angels and demons are arbitrary sides and categories not the polar opposites being claimed (as well as not lining up with actual good and evil), that there's no fundamental abyss between them.
Having realized that:
a) Of course he and Crowley can bodyswap (no "probably explode"), because they're not matter and anti-matter, they're the same supernatural stuff, and b) Of course Heaven and Hell, invested in the existence of that fundamental abyss, won't suspect that because, invested in the existence of that abyss, they can't imagine it as possible.
(For various reasons, I am very much of the opinion that Aziraphale's the one who came up with the bodyswap idea.)
