I think a really good little detail about Good Omens is how a fat character’s love of food isn’t treated like a joke, or unhealthy, or something to correct. He just loves food, it’s part of who he is, that’s it. It goes so far as to have Crowley just… know that about him, and he’s like “oh, Aziraphale loves food, I should buy him lunch. He’ll like that.” instead of making comments about his size. The only time he ever chastises him about food is to when it actually leads him to doing something mind-numbingly stupid like walking into revolutionary Paris dressed like an aristocrat because he wanted crepes, and the only thing that gets chastised is his dumb decisions, not the foodie part of him.
The only one who comments on Aziraphale’s size is Gabriel, and it’s framed as Gabriel being an asshole, because he’s a dick, and a douchebag, and that’s the kind of person who makes these comments.
I don’t know, I just really liked that little touch.
