I just found it, and..

I'd never noticed the affection in David's glance at the BAFTAs.

Like that evening for Macbeth, when they look at each other, there is no one around them anymore, whether it is a theater or a live television broadcast.

Find someone who looks at you the way they look at themselves..

OK so my good friend is a massage therapist. I built her website and she pays me in massages. I'm 100% fine with that. Anyway, I've been bugging like all my friends to watch Good Omens (of course). She is the only one WHO HAS ACTUALLY WATCHED IT. She loved it but I don't see her getting the brainrot but she did enjoy it and even told someone else she knew who was a David Tennant fan to watch.

She is bisexual so today while I was getting my massage we were talking about some of the Queer themes within the show. How the show is an allegory to the world at large for the Queer community, the fact that there are so many non binary characters etc.

I've been hyperfixating on David so of course I mentioned him and that I've been trying to watch everything he's been in. And as such I also mentioned the fact that he's hosting the BAFTAs this weekend. Then we started talking about Michael and how good of an actor he is and other things she's seen him in etc.

She mentioned that she saw them both in an interview....and she asked me if I thought they were...you know....involved???

I was astounded. She only watched a couple of interviews. She knows nothing about their personal lives. She doesn't have the BrainRot. She saw these interviews and asked me if I thought they were involved with each other. She said the way they looked at each other is what made her think that.

I said (while trying to contain myself) that a lot of us think so. The fact that she picked up on that after such a brief foray into their little world frankly astounds me. I explained the "jokes" that their partners have put online to put some sort of narrative in place and how I believed it was to allow them to hide in plain sight.

Here I was thinking I might be a little delusional (but I didn't care) because I'm so steeped in it. In them. Every day. It fills my waking thoughts. But here is someone who suspects with with the tinyest introduction to it. I may not be delusional after all.

Aside from being thrilled about all of that in general I'm also thrilled that I actually have someone in real life to talk to about this.

So what ur thoughts on the bafias nominations David been nomination for best comedy actor while Michael hasn't been nominated for anything and the fan on twitter can't understand why now I personally think after Al aggressive behaviour on a post when they got his name wrong on his favourite radio station and how her stories on ig recently just werid behaviour do u think Al may had sabotaged his chances of getting a nomination for anything

What ur thoughts

Hi there! So I am once again on the road and attending a conference in Las Vegas that just wrapped up, and now I finally have a chance to comment on today's exciting news.

I'm sure everyone has seen by now, but congrats to our lovely David on his first (main) BAFTA nom for Male Performance in a Comedy!

It seems almost surreal that David has never been nominated for a (main) BAFTA before now, and given the breadth of his other recent TV performances (Des, Litvinenko) nominating him for Good Omens season 2 is certainly a choice...especially in the absence of a nomination for Michael. Looking at the list of nominations, it appears that Best Interests was nominated for Limited Drama, as was Sharon Horgan for Leading Actress...but no nomination for Michael for Leading Actor, either. So very quickly, this starts to look like a visible and intentional snub.

In terms of why Michael would be snubbed, I think there are a few possible reasons, but none of them have anything to do with AL. Readers of my blog know that I am never hesitant to call Anna out when it is merited, but in all likelihood the BAFTA nominations were decided long before now, and in my opinion she would not have any influence on whether Michael is nominated regardless of when her social media posts were made. So it does not make sense to place blame on her in this instance.

My feeling is that the reasons for Michael's lack of a nomination (and really, David's nomination specifically for GO) are likely twofold. One is that I'm guessing Amazon/whoever submitted David for consideration didn't want to pit Michael and David against each other. If they were both competing in the same category, it could split the votes, so only nominating one of them seems the best way of avoiding that. The second reason (again, in my opinion) seems to be political.

I was surprised to recently learn that Prince William is the president of BAFTA--British followers, help me out here, because this is very, very weird to a confused American--and as we know, Michael has spoken out on a number of hot button issues over the last few months: Opening a conversation about Welsh independence. The question of the devolution of the crown estate to Wales. And of course, abolishing the title of Prince of Wales. Not to mention all of the backlash incurred by the release of The Way, which was roundly savaged in the press and accused of promoting anti-English sentiments.

Granted, there have been politically active nominees and winners at the BAFTAs in the past, but it really feels like the combination of all these things is somehow working against Michael. Let's also not forget this epic picture from the BAFTA film awards last month, with Michael giving Wills the side-eyest of Welsh side-eyes:

All this said, it is difficult (if not impossible) to think of Michael and David's performances in GO as separate things, because they are so inextricably intertwined. The reason that we got David's incredible performance as Crowley is because Michael was there as Aziraphale, and vice-versa. I think David and Michael themselves would be the first ones to say it, as well as to be in awe and so supportive of each other's acting. The response of fans to this nomination news--saying Michael is a better actor, Michael deserved to be nominated instead, etc.--is so perplexing to me, because I think he was probably the first one in line to congratulate David, and would chew out anybody who put down David's acting for any reason.

I also think that if the lack of a nomination is due to the above-mentioned political reasons, then Michael is probably wearing it like a fucking badge of honor. I think he is also happier for David than anyone else on the planet right now (because that's his boyfriend, damn it), and I truly hope the stars align and give us Michael presenting David with an award again like at the NTAs in 2021. (Michael subsequently carrying David off the stage bridal style would be the cherry on top of the already extremely homoerotic cake.)

I also feel that there is no question David is as taken aback by his nomination/Michael's lack of a nomination for GO as much as the rest of us are. While I have no idea what David's chances of winning truly are, I think he would wholeheartedly and enthusiastically share that award with Michael. And I think he will share that night with Michael no matter what, regardless of what happens on the broadcast.

So many possibilities come to mind, really. I can imagine David and Michael re-enacting Every (without the heartbreaking bits, of course) on stage. I've seen people making references to the infamous Slow Show fic/how it parallels to real life, and while I've only read part of it (haven't gotten to finish), the thought of any kiss between Michael and David is beyond gorgeous to contemplate. Not for the sake of "content" or as a joke, of course (because I don't think they would be willing to kiss as a joke, because if they were, they would've done it by now), but because we would see a facet to Michael and David's relationship that's always been there in private become public. And it would be their choice to share it with us.

Those are my reactions to the BAFTAs announcement today. I'd love to hear from my followers as well with your thoughts and comments. Thanks for writing in! x

thinking about that scene in s1 when crowley says “no not you, i know what you smell like” and thinking about how his eyesight is probably so horrible that aziraphale started using a certain cologne so crowley would always recognize him

[crowleys-ducks]

Aziraphale and Crowley don't celebrate Valentines but humans do, therefore it is Mandatory™ that they act like humans and get each other gifts.

Crowley's all "the humans are doing the love thing again so I got you those chocolates you like" and Aziraphale immediately shoves roses at Crowley like "These were highly recommended by the florist, aren't they just lovely?"

and the idiots take the gifts and spend the day together and don't realize they do, in fact, celebrate Valentines and that they're undeniably in love and all of Soho is screaming for the plucky bookshop owner and his ginger goth friend to FINALLY kiss it's been TWENTY YEARS they can't keep doing this

One of my favorite GO fanfiction tropes is when Aziraphale and Crowley fuck and they consistently, without fail, cause a power outage.

[obsessivelollipoplalala]

I’ve been using this blog a little less because I’ve been doing more things irl (yay), but I want to promote my WIP again because it’s good lol, and I really don’t have any mutuals in the fandom who read much fic, so I have to self-promote.

Anyway, if you think it would be really angsty with lots of great fic potential to go through the Good Omens timeline with the AU of Aziraphale and Crowley having been a couple in Heaven but being forced apart by the Metatron for their love, and them constantly tip-toeing around their former relationship on earth and Aziraphale being consumed with guilt for thousands of years because he blames himself for Crowley’s Fall, you’re correct! But I promise a happy ending after we get through the events of s2.

So far, chapter 1 is in Heaven, chapter 2 is in Eden, chapter 3 is the Job minisode, chapter 4 is Aziraphale getting drunk for the first time with Crowley and the birth of the Arrangement, and chapter 5 (coming soon) will be from 1601 at the Globe to 1832 in Edinburgh, with a whole new layer of angst added to Crowley getting called back down to Hell at the end of that minisode 👀

How many people do you think assume crowley and aziraphale were in the mafia

[no-paperwork]

It didn't work last time, but I'll try again.

I'm going to sleep, but I hope to wake up tomorrow morning without "tits", "loser" or other things like that.

PLEASE, PLEASE! I'M ACTUALLY BEGGING YOU!

(Like Crowley once said)

[here-comes-the-moose]

What I need from Good Omens Season 2 is for Crowley to enter his househusband era.

[shoemakerobstetrician]

Seriously! SERIOUSLY! They are totally tween girl BFFs.

Anna’s post had pretty much the same clouds, and an earlier one showed two of their daughters baking together. 😁

💕💕💕 I need to find my tween girl BFF!

I haven’t been a tween in decades, it’s not too late, right?

[ultranerddj]

......OH!!

[ingravinoveritas]

So why didn’t anyone tell me that there is now a gay cheesy Christmas movie on the Hallmark Channel, and why aren’t Michael Sheen and David Tennant playing the lead roles??

Give me my gay cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie with Michael and David, damn it...

[jenanigans1207]

I’ve decided that I will be posting an update to my Crowley and his old lady neighbor fic within the next week because I miss them sm
