How Neil Gaiman killed me...

[familiar-anonymous]

I can relate to Crowley.💤

[pa-nd-em-on-iu-mp-an-da]

Brave of Neil Gaiman to create the tv adaptation of two of his books (Good Omens & The Sandman).

With two insanely good-looking actors in each show (Michael Sheen & David Tennant, Tom Sturridge & Ferdinand Kingsley (feat Queen Vivienne)).

Who previously played characters in the same film/series without their characters ever meeting (Sheen/Tennant in Bright Young Things, Sturridge/Kingsley in Hollow Crown).

To then years later be playing characters (Aziraphale & Crowley/ Dream & Hob) who somehow manage to be meeting constantly over an extended period of time.

(Plus, their characters are currently the highest ships in their fandoms on AO3).

if I had a nickel for every time (about) halfway through the first season of a Neil Gaiman show, there was a montage of two immortal characters meeting up periodically and we can see one slowly realize he’s in love, I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

so i was thinking about mike's bassment beats spotify playlist and how the first song in said playlist is smalltown boy by bronski beat - a song about the need for gay men in the 80s to flee from homophobic small towns to the freedom of the city and i thought about looking up the meanings of the other songs included in the playlist to see what other hints there are to mike's character

i was also thinking about how significant it is that smalltown boy is the opening track to the playlist and i wondered about what the final track to mike's playlist is as that would seem equally significant to me

so the last track on the playlist is be afraid by franz ferdinand and the lyrics go as such:

Don't be afraid if you hear voices Feel the sweet air spoken upon you

Dream again

Sometimes the sound of a thousand whispering

it's pretty short in terms of lyrics and has less of a clear meaning compared to smalltown boy so i thought i'd google the meaning of the song just to see if there were any explanations from the band or a sort of general opinion on the song meaning which i didn't end up finding, however i did come across another song by franz ferdinand almost immediately called micheal and i thought well that's a coincidence (but not really) so i looked up what the meaning to that song was and lo and behold

so it's about a gay man who wants to be with another man called micheal

the music video is set in a basement

and the song contains hidden secret messages such as how the show queer codes mike

but also it's interesting how in the song the hidden messages can only be heard when played backwards

kind of like upside down...

bonus thought! the lyrics to smalltown boy:

Mother will never understand why you had to leave

But the answers you seek will never be found at home

The love that you need will never be found at home

and the hidden message in the song michael:

She’s worried about you. Call your mother.

Cette Candace Owens est soutien de Trump depuis plusieurs années et est demeurée solide lors du grand test de l'affaire Floyd/BLM de l'été 2021. C'est toujours par les actes en période de crise que l'on reconnaît qui est qui. Quant aux soupçons sur le "couple présidentiel" ils vont beaucoup plus loin que ce que l'on peut en dire. Aucun de ces deux-là n'est vraiment celui qu'il dit être.

Ce qui compte pour nous c'est l'intérêt supérieur du pays, libérer le pays de la tyrannie des canailles décrites par les Drumont, Bernanos, Morand, Céline, Coston, Ratier, nos repères, nos boussoles et principes directeurs dans les brouillards actuels. Relire ces grands anciens là nous mettra tous d'accord et nous fera voir plus loin.

“this is for those of you who like to dance, and i mean ALL of you who like to dance [performing the song up until the pause before the main chorus] i’m on the dance floor … and nobody should feel afraid to be on that dance floor. nobody at all. this is a song about, uhh, two men, dancing on the dance floor. it’s a song about love, and it’s a song about love that should be free. and a song about love that should never be punished.”

— alex kapranos right before & during the performance of michael in moscow, 2018

not a lyric change but something i thought was sweet
