Moods

Guys, hear me out

We all joke a lot about Anthony Janthony Crowley (and I love it), but I also really like the theory that the J refers to his old name, his name as an angel.

So I researched some angels who have names beginning with J.

And I found Jophiel.

While most of his description doesn’t really fit Crowley, there is one thing that just blew my mind. 

But before I tell you, remember: The first time Aziraphale and Crowley met was on the wall of the garden of Eden. And they don’t just run into each other by accident, Crowley deliberately slithered up to the angel. 

And I thought about this a lot. Why did Crowley approach Aziraphale?  He just tempted Eve and Adam and should expect any angel to be furious with him, and even if you forget about that, he’s a demon, for god’s, for satan’s, for somebody’s sake, why is he so eager to start a conversation with an angel? And as they talk, one of the first things he brings up is Aziraphales flaming sword. It’s a little out of the blue if you ask me, why is he so interested in the sword?  Well, let me finally tell you what was so mindblowing for me about Jophiel:

Jophiel was known for carrying a flaming sword.

So why is Crowley approaching Aziraphale? Because maybe he knew that this angel was assigned the sword that used to be his.

That’s why he almost immediately brings it up, that’s the reason he wanted to meet Aziraphale, despite the risk of approaching an angel.  I also like to mention that he is rather serious and critical, when he starts questioning Aziraphale. 

Maybe he’s even afraid of how someone else might use it, after all we know that Crowley isn’t a fan of God “testing” and punishing the humans.

That’s why he is so delighted when he hears that Aziraphale actually gave it to the humans.

He’s surprised and amused here, but I can’t help but think that he is relieved as well. Because now he knows that his old sword isn’t in the hands of an angel who is eager to smite the humans.  A lot of fans think that Crowley fell in love with Aziraphale because the angel gave his sword to the humans, and if it truely belonged to Crowley in the past, it makes this moment even more meaningful.  I know it’s just a theory, but I just love how this connection would deepen their bond even further. So yeah. Anthony Jophiel Crowley. 

They fucking change it...

... I mean its true.

i searched up michael sheen and david tennant on IMDb and there's a section that talks about their acting "trademark" and i just thought i should share this

Hogwarts au bebeh

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

Comment from @afriend410 Made it better if you feel like wacking Snotlout with a fucking alpha dragon

#SAVAGE

Bus, both of them taking the further back just to fucking suck each other while trying to keep it down.

Or,

Aziraphale, being the loud bastard that he is, keep making this lewd groans and high pitched squeals loud enough for the driver to hear, Crowley, sucking the daylights out of him, thinking how exactly will he punish the fucking hedonist.

Idk, you guys add more.

Imagine if Good Omen was exactly the same, except Crowley and Aziraphale are already sexually involved and like always down to fuck. But it was played in an extremely comical way. Most of their mistakes are caused by them sneaking off somewhere to have sex and their banter is mostly Crowley making sexual comments towards Aziraphale and like Aziraphale responds with distain and annoyance but he secretly likes it and  when he turns his face away from Crowley you can see him like make salacious, aroused expressions. There’s multiple scenes that are just Aziraphale dragging Crowley into alley ways, bathrooms, bedrooms ect and like the door slams and you just hear vague sexual noises before a cut. Everytime they’re in a scene with another character they like glance suggestively at each other and when the other character leaves they immediately pounce on one another. 

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! :)

Fishlegs has been shown to carry:

Hiccup (HTTYD1)

Both of the twins (RTTE S5, A Matter of Perspective)

Snotlout (RTTE S5, Return of Thor Bonecrusher) (Note: Snotlout can also carry him, as seen in RTTE S4, Saving Shattermaster)

And while I cannot recall him carrying Astrid, but given her size (Hiccup and twins size), he could easily carry her just like she can easily toss him over her shoulder as seen in RTTE S5, Sandbusted)

… Do I, the OT6 Lady want to see Fishlegs carrying each of the other Riders bridal style? I do!

I personally agree with this

I feel like people have forgotten that Toothless is the only “Night Fury” that Berk (and the audience) has ever seen. That means that everything we claim to know about Toothless’ species is just an assumption, because it’s only based on one individual dragon.

Y’all think Toothless’ species is supposed to be black because he’s black, not because all “night furies” are actually black. Y’all think that Toothless species is supposed to have nubs and spikes all over them because Toothless has nubs and spikes all over him, not because all “night furies” actually have nubs and spikes. Hell, the reason that Toothless’ species is even called Night Fury is because of Toothless alone, not because his entire species resembles him or behaves like him.

So all this “the Light fury isn’t a true night fury” and “what happened to Night furies being the unholy offspring of lightning and death” nonsense needs to stop, because you guys don’t actually have any confirmed information on the entire night fury species; you only have knowledge on one individual member, which, according to rules of taxonomy, is not enough. So stop acting like you have a bible on what Night Furies are actually supposed to be like.

Used to love when the fandom fangirled and bonded over new material; but the way you guys are jumping ship so easily on a franchise you claimed to have loved so passionately over a handful of images is ridiculous. It’s one thing to constructively critique your media, and it’s another thing to sound like a whiny middle-aged woman at a retail store who’s jumping to conclusions because she can’t get her way. Wait till we get some trailers and then feel free to abandon the franchise all you like. At least that would make more sense.

If this wasn't in the bloopers, Imma effing cry

This was all I could think of at first when we cut to Will tied to the chair

Wilford, blindfolded and tied to a chair, surrounded by knives and guns held towards him

Will: Hello?!

Will: …

*smiles slowly*

Will: Hold on, is this a Febreze commercial-
