feelingsinitiate replied to your post "Look at this. They make me sick 🥹😭…"
The source is here: https://weibo.com/6404554297/NxmeBeuBH The photographer explained that David and Michael were indeed looking into each other's eyes, and she took two close shots and put them together.
@feelingsinitiate Thank you for this! I did mention some of this on another post (that the photographer took the pictures separately and edited them together, and confirmed that Michael and David were looking into each other's eyes), but I did not have the actual source until now.
I just keep thinking of what the chances possibly were of someone taking a picture of both Michael and David at that exact moment, and it seems astronomical. Not to mention getting such clear shots of their faces...
...Truly incredible. Astonishing, even. To know that this is how Michael and David look at each other when the cameras aren't on them just makes your heart ache. How fortunate they are to have each other and to love each other, in whatever form that may take--platonic, romantic, or both.
We have so much to look forward to in the months ahead--David's continued run in Macbeth, Michael in Nye, and of course the impending filming of GO 3. There is no way to know what will happen, but knowing that Michael and David are together somehow makes me feel reassured that everything will be okay...
hold up im reading more about the lionfish thing and this one island in Honduras has had such a huge problem with lionfish that the measures they have taken include
• getting special exemption from the Honduran government to allow divers access to harpoons and spears which are otherwise illegal in fishing
• public campaign to teach people how to prepare and eat lionfish (apparently they are very tasty once the poisonous spines are removed) (but watch out)
• holding lionfish combination hunting competition and cookout (reportedly they killed and cooked 1,700 in a day) (someone killed 60 of them with a rubber band spear gun???)
• most recently and apparently out of desperation, the divers in charge of culling the lionfish in the Roatan Marine Park just started. feeding the lionfish they killed to sharks. bc what else are you gonna do with it
• the sharks don’t seem to notice or be affected by the poison and begin hanging out with the divers
• the sharks then were seen hunting and killing the lionfish on their own
like this is nuts to me sorry. the sharks just had to be shown “hey this is food, did you know?? you can eat these!! here try one!!” we are possibly altering an entire foodchain bc we like feeding the big ocean wolves
You are not childish for wishing the world was better than it is. We were owed that by the people who knew better before us, just like we too will owe the people who’ll come after us. But defeatism does nothing. It puts nothing on the plate you’ll hand to your child, your friend, your lover. You may never live to see the world become as good as it should, but that should never stop you from trying to improve it anyway.
probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.
we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."
at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.
the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.
the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.
what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.
here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.
This compilation video of David calling Aziraphale and Crowley "the yin to each other's yang" in different interviews is just everything. I am also completely in awe of how much has changed between four years ago and now. Incredible amounts of flirting on both counts, but the more recent clip is so much softer, and you can feel the overwhelming comfort and familiarity between Michael and David. They're just so damn married, and it shows...
