Bus, Both Of Them Taking The Further Back Just To Fucking Suck Each Other While Trying To Keep It Down.

I'M CHOKINGHAHAHSJKDKDJDJEBSUHS

Gabriel’s nose has been broken on at least 27 separate occasions and Crowley has a list of all of the occasions.

In no particular order…

Arrived at Beelzebub’s office without warning. Beez was taken by surprise and hit him. His nose bled for quite a while before they got fed up and willed it to stop.

Once in the 19th century, he showed up, again unannounced, at Aziraphale’s “discreet gentlemen’s club.” He was dumb enough to make some kind of homophobic comment. And was promptly knocked out.

A few were however self inflicted, like the first time he attempted to open a door and hit himself in the face.

And the time he miscalculated his teleportation game and ran smack into a wall.

And the time Aziraphale had moved a few shelves around and he wasn’t aware, and teleported into the shop only to bust his face on a shelf of Dickens first editions.

But most were done by other people. Once he teleported up behind Aziraphale and got hit because Aziraphale happened to be reading a ~scary story~ late at night and wasn’t expecting any visitors.

He tried to touch Beez’s sash or one of their medals once while telling them “how cute and tiny” they are, and they got fed up really quickly.

Touched a pregnant lady’s belly one time without her permission and said some freakish thing about when he went to tell the Virgin Mary she was pregnant.

Touched a NOT pregnant lady’s belly one time without her permission and made the same freakish comment, thinking she was pregnant.

Back in the day, appeared once to Jesus and said something ridiculous that the J man would not stand for and got hit.

Showed up at Sodom and Gomorrah and said a comment very similar to the one he made centuries later at the gentlemen’s club (he doesn’t learn). Of course, got hit.

Touched someone’s shoulder on the train to ask them a question. That person just happened to be having a bad day.

Tried recreating the “The Hills Are Alive” scene from The Sound of Music, and ran into a fucking pole.

Told a guy in the park (not Aziraphale) he should exercise more. Got punched.

Showed up unannounced while Aziraphale was eating, got elbowed in the face by accident when Aziraphale swung around to face him.

Told a guy in the park (Aziraphale this time) he should exercise more. Got ambushed a few minutes later by Crowley, who punched him in the face and ran away before he saw who it was.

Somehow said something so asshole-ish he provoked a Buddhist monk to break his vow of nonviolence and beat the shit out of him.

Also got hit really hard one time by a nun in a convent sometime in the 12th century.

And a Christian monk in a monastery, just a few days after that.

Hit a third time by Beelzebub for trying to kiss them after agreeing to “do some more human stuff, you know, to blend in,” while having their secret meetings. He thought they meant like PDA, they actually meant like drinking or eating food.

Was also once hit by a screaming Hastur who he frightened by appearing in the wrong room in Hell one time.

Was once hit by a Starbucks barista who was just trying to do her job, when he suddenly appeared right next to her. Not only did he have a broken nose, he also got some pretty bad burns from the coffee that went all over him.

Went to Viking age England, was mistaken for a Viking because he was unusually large and unusually clean. Was beaten up by a group of young Anglo Saxon soldiers who weren’t taking any chances. Aziraphale was standing on the other side of the road and saw the whole thing, but of course did nothing.

Appeared to Adam Young and the Them some time after Armageddon. They took it as a sign something was up again and without a second thought, Pepper chucked the skull from their hideout at his head.

Tried to talk to King David of Israel about his questionable relationship with Jonathan. Crowley was there (he was a member of the court, obviously), and got to see the guards take down the archangel as soon as he started to approach the King.

Appeared in the WRONG Soho establishment sometime in the 70s. Got beat up by a stripper who felt threatened by his sudden presence right beside her onstage.

Later appeared in the right Soho establishment. It just so happened that Shadwell was there at the time to pick up a late payment and was not expecting the sudden presence of a tall, obnoxious American behind him.

Hogwarts au bebeh

I like the idea of Crowley wearing pink funky circular glasses don't @ me oki-

to me, the big divergence between book omens and tv omens in regards to aziraphale and crowley’s relationship is this

tv omens: 6000 years of pining, nerds who can’t communicate but everyone knows they’re in love anyway, paranoid about their respective sides finding out, fuel for a billion confession fics that are all amazing ngl

book omens: have been married since 4003 BC and get married again every couple of centuries for the sake of aesthetic, knows no one is watching them so they take every opportunity to be incredibly married-for-a-million-years in public

you young people have never experienced real homophobia before. real homophobia is ginger and miles from bright young things never meeting once.

Michael Sheen Massive Praise Post

I don’t think I have ever actually expressed how much I do appreciate this guy so now it’s high time to do so!

We all agree that Sheen was great as Aziraphale, but it’s still mainly David Tennant to have his own fanvids with Crowley alone and not Michael (nearly no Aziraphale alone fanvids there!). Much as I love their characters as a couple, I’d love to have some sort of POV of each of them as well, but all I have is a lot of Crowley (at least when it comes to fanvids).

Is Aziraphale less interesting because he’s an angel? Well, I think fanbase generally prefers Crowley. Like, we love both, they’re inseparable and there’s usually loads of both of them as one, but if you have to choose just one… Well, I think, it’d be Crowley, not Aziraphale to be chosen by most of fans. Aziraphale is not the dramatic good demon. He’s a bastard who thinks he knows best what’s Right and what’s Wrong or rather he pretends to know. Such a hypocrite! Sure, he’s changing slowly, his certainty is really just a fasade, he’s good at heart and so on, but Crowley is the one we would agree with and sympathize with in the first place. Most of us, at least.

Considering it all, Michael Sheen deserves even more credit for his portrayal of Aziraphale because he managed to make this character as interesting, as lovable as Crowley in fandom’s eyes. I think Aziraphale as a role is way harder to portray than Crowley. And he succeed anyway! It’s pretty obvious here, on Tumblr that Sheen as Aziraphale stole fanbase’s heart. My thoughts are based solely on observation of Good Omens fans here. Of course, you can disagree. I may be wrong. Only idiots think they’re totally right. ;)

I’m so happy to see that on Tumblr Michael Sheen is appreciated properly by the fanbase of GO, but anywhere else, I guess, it's  DT mainly. Don’t get me wrong, I love DT, he’s my favourite actor, actually, but it’s just so sad that Michael Sheen, fantastic, outstanding actor, the one who’s so great when it comes to interacting with fans, so supportive of fan activities and stuff, has no great fanbase on his own. Like popculture, various, huge fanbase, focused on him only, not just on this one single role in Good Omens.

I blame it on the fact that Michael was not  in many popculture, high quality productions and there’s a lot of him being just supporting character, not the main one. DT has Doctor Who, Jessica Jones, Good Omens, Broadchurch… Michael Sheen, on the other hand, has… Twilight. I don’t wish to insult Twilight fans, but still we do need more of Michael Sheen in things like Good Omens. Otherwise, no huge, proper Michael Sheen popculture fanbase can be formed.

I myself saw him in so many productions and just didn’t remember him in any of them. But then Good Omens was announced and I started doing some research on him and I found out I knew him already! I just… didn’t remember him! Mostly because those productions he was in were not my jam or he was just supporting character in them. It’s a real shame!

But it could be so much better, even without new, main roles in things similar to, let’s say, Doctor Who.

I mean, for example, we have Bright Young Things. Great idea to make a movie, great cast, mostly, but result’s a bit dull. How much better that movie could be if Miles (Michael Sheen) was its main character! With that queer, dramatic, camp acting I love so much? The movie could be awesome! Not to say… GAY RIGHTS! It’d be fantastic production, a bit absurd, a bit sad about queer people in 20s with queer main character struggling with his identity!

Same goes to Passengers. Just a normal movie, nothing special (it is so for me, you can disagree), but imagine the very same movie from the perspective of Arthur (Michael Sheen), an android, who observes the couple, learns watching them. If we could also have some witty narration to it (much like God in Good Omens) it’d be great, wouldn’t it? Instead of that boring couple on a spaceship plot, we could have android observing the human couple, changing thanks to them, while having all sorts of identity issues. 

But we don’t have it, unfortunately.

My point in this chaotic praise post is that Michael Sheen is intriguing actor and he needs more recognition. And that’s my point!

Oh, but what do I love about his acting so much? His acting style is so very emotional, a bit dramatic, camp even (I do love camp aesthetics, by the way), queer-like. He has very expressive eyes and elegant smiles, those tiny twitches and graceful or, on the contrary, nervous gestures. It all makes you think, while watching him, that there’s some buzzing energy inside him, some constantly changing flow of thoughts and emotions. He reflects them so well, even those slight shifts, shadows of thoughts on his features. You can actually read the character he’s portraying without him even speaking. All it takes to understand the character here is just watching his body language! Oh, and his voice! Such a nice voice to hear; soothing, low, but not too low and I love his ability to make it slightly higher than it is or lower and a little bit harsh. His manner of speaking is also pretty elegant, clear and easy to understand for me as a non-native speaker. It probably means that his way of spelling words is super correct or something.

He’s certainly too good to be supporting character or acting in low quality stuff. There’s not enough of him being the main character and in good stuff.

Yes, that’s my point! :)

10 ways in which fans rewrite their favourite television shows:

1) Recontextualization - the production of vignettes, short stories, and novels that seek to fill in the gaps in broadcast narratives and suggest additional explanations for particular actions.

2) Expanding the series timeline - the production of vignettes, short stories, novels that provide background history of characters, etc., not explored in broadcast narratives or suggestions for future developments beyond the period covered by the broadcast narrative.

3) Refocalization - this occurs when fan writers move the focus of attention from the main protagonists to secondary figures. For example, female or black characters are taken from the margins of a text and given centre stage.

4) Moral realignment - a version of refocalization in which the moral order of the broadcast narrative is inverted (the villains become the good guys). In some versions the moral order remains the same but the story is now told from the point of view of the villains.

5) Genre shifting - characters from broadcast science fiction narratives, say, are relocated in the realms of romance or the Western, for example.

6) Cross-Overs - characters from one television programme are introduced into another. For example, characters from Doctor Who may appear in the same narrative as characters from Star Wars.

7) Character dislocation - characters are relocated in new narrative situations, with new names and new identities. 

8) Personalization - the inserted of the writer into a version of their favourite television programme. For example, I could write a short story in which I am recruited by the Doctor to travel with him in the TARDIS on a mission to explore what has become of the Manchester United in the twenty-fourth century. (However, as Jenkins points out, many in the fan culture discourage this subgenre of fan writing.)

9) Emotional intensification - the production of what are called “hurt-comfort” stories in which favourite characters, for example, experience emotional crisis.

10) Eroticization - stories that explore the erotic side of a character’s life. Perhaps the best known of this subgenre of fan writing is “slash” fiction, so called because it depicts same-sex relationships (as in Kirk/Spock,etc.)

yall are so fucked with your cancel culture shit. and i dont mean like the james charles and pewdiepie and projared drama or anything like that.

i mean when yall bring up shit from 5+ years ago that people never had repeat offenses on after they immediately apologized after being told they were in the wrong. 

you seem to forget people grow and change over time. you seem to forget switching your opinions and growing and doing better and becoming a better person is part of being human, part of being a person. like, not to be that guy but a year ago i was an aphobic transmed. am i now? hell no, because i grew up and realized i was in the wrong and changed. 

holy shit. people are humans. dont fucking idolize them and rip them apart when you dig up shit they said 5+ years ago that they have never done since. dont place people on pedestals and expect them to be flawless. nobody is. and this isnt even about violent racism, transphobia/homophobia, or predatory behavior either so dont try to twist my words.

My 8 year old self:

lol I feel like an idiot I misstaken “half siblings” to “step siblings” fuck do I need someone to proofread my sh#t XD
