Michael Sheen Gets Into Character - Inner Truth Ep.1, 14/05/2024

[sentientsky]

i know this has been discussed ad nauseam, but i'm doing research for a meta, and i'm slowly realizing that i will never ever be over the Good Omens Lockdown dialogue. especially that line towards the end (begins at the 02:50 minute mark):

Crowley: [...] You know, I could hunker down at your place; slither over and watch you eat cake. I could bring a bottle—a case—of something...drinkable?

first, the unabashed expression of a desire to be near Aziraphale is so rarely evident (i mean, we have 1967 and other instances, but in the case of '67, an outsider could more easily—i guess??—interpret offering him a lift home as an expression of gratitude for the holy water). so, to witness his clear, unveiled desire for comfort and closeness (and to literally just watch Aziraphale eat cake) demonstrates the interpersonal progress made in the time after Armageddon't; he's not concealing the offer behind some flimsily-constructed reason (e.g., "I just didn't want to see you embarrass yourself"). in fact, he's implying that they'd be spending long lengths of time together ("hunker down", "a case of something drinkable"). and then Aziraphale's response is also really interesting, and kind of exists as a microcosm of their whole push-and-pull dynamic that has existed for literally thousands of years (begins at the 02:59 minute mark):

Aziraphale: No, I—I—I—I’m afraid that would be breaking all the rules! Out of the question! I’ll see you… when… this is over?

i'm sorry, but the sheer nervousness???? the grasping for excuses??? they're gay disasters, ur honour. breaks my fucking heart </3 i love them both, but also OUGH. azi, why?!?

#good omens lockdown #idk what im saying here. literally just spitballing atp #i mean i get why azi went to that response but my heart also breaks for crowley and NOT because i project on to his character SHUT UP /lh #good omens meta #<- sure whatever #good omens #i can never think of a good way to end these #i'm rly tired if that counts as an excuse lmao #crowley #ineffable husbands #good omens 2 #aziracrow #aziraphale #go2 #ineffable lovers #ineffable wives #good omens season 2 #david tennant #michael sheen #no nightinggales #ineffable divorce #good omens season 1 #final fifteen

Each time Aziraphale didn't choose Crowley.

Has anyone read that one Junji Ito's Tomie short story where an artist struggles to recreate Tomies beauty within his artworks and slowly goes crazy attempting to capture her likeness over and over again?

Yeah that's me with Michael Sheen as Aziraphale. I find I can never draw him properly but godamnit I'm gonna keep trying.

#michael sheen is a beautiful man #I feel so bad everytime I absolutely butcher his likeness #I can't draw him as Azi at all but I keep trying #I think I'm getting a lil better #Crowley is my favorite character and yet I've drawn Aziriphale so much simply because I find him so difficult to sketch in my style #David Tennant is beautiful as well tho #good omens fanart #good omens art #good omens #aziraphale good omens #good omens aziraphale #aziraphale #doodle #drawing #art #artwork #illustration #sketch #digital art #digital doodle #procreate #good omens brainrot

If I’m being honest, I’ll be slightly disappointed if season 3 (if it happens🤞🤞🤞) pushes the narrative that Aziraphale needs to apologize to Crowley and act as if he was naive and did everything wrong. Because if I was presented with the option to run away with the love of my life and have everything I ever wanted BUT doing that would mean I had to turn a blind eye to systemic injustice that I knew I had the ability, power, and voice to at least try to do something about?— I can only hope that I would be brave enough to choose the other option. After all the abuse, neglect, and brainwashing that Heaven put Aziraphale through, I was stunned at his courage to go back despite knowing what it would do to his happiness and future.

I want to make it clear that I am in no way angry at Crowley for his response, it’s completely understandable that he would want nothing to do with Heaven or Hell after everything, and he definitely has the right to put himself first. But respecting his choice doesn’t mean disrespecting Aziraphale’s, and I can only hope that hypothetical-season-3 Crowley understands that what Aziraphale is doing doesn’t make him a fool who chose Heaven above their future together— in fact, it makes him incredibly brave. Because if anyone can make a difference in Heaven, if anyone can grab hold of the hope for other angels’ humanity displayed by Muriel’s fascination with Earth or Gabriel’s love story, if anyone can be a loving and just leader while at the same time being just enough of a bastard to take down the “Second Coming” from the inside? You know damn well it would be none other than Aziraphale.

Now that Michael has broken the fandom on several occasions this week, it seems like the perfect time for another poll...

#good omens 2 #michael sheen #welsh seduction machine #david tennant #soft scottish hipster gigolo #aziraphale #crowley #ineffable husbands #the way David/Crowley turns his head when he does it is keeping me up at night #i also think the line between character and actor is quite blurred in Michael's case #but we can now see how their connection informed the relationship between Aziraphale and Crowley #also had to get a RHPS reference in the poll in honor of Michael's burning desire to play Frankie #recreational nipple caressing #ineffable lovers #gif by me #poll

[justwhumpythings]

When you only know the show from the tumblr whump gifsets so your description of the premise just sounds like a whumpapedia entry

#this post brought to you by #'oh that's that film with michael sheen. his character gets shot.' #whump #whump memes #whumper problems #justwhumpythings #or it could be stabbed #either way #that's all i know of it XD

[itsscottiesstark]

Not to be horny on main but seeing people writing fanfiction!Aziraphale with insecurities about his weight makes me so sad cause I know it's unfortunately based on reality but then I see Crowley's reaction to Aziraphale's body and I'm like yes gurl you're absolutely right I agree with Crowley's sentiment wholeheartedly, get it.

#he's all like “can i please suffocate myself in your thighs” #“why would i be mad there's more of you to cuddle” #there's two types of people and smh Crowley's both #and i relate 10000% #i love the inclusivity of good omens fandom #it's not often you get characters who can stand our projecting asses #and i think it's beautiful #they make everyone feel seen #thank you neil gaiman #good omens #david tennant #michael sheen #crowley #aziraphale #crowley x aziraphale #good omens fanfiction #itsscottiesstark posts #ineffable husbands #good omens fanfic #good omens fic #fanfiction #fanfic #fic #ao3 #good omens ao3 #good omens inclusivity #aziraphale fanfic #crowley fanfiction #Aziraphale fanfiction #crowley fanfic

My favorite thing about the fact that Michael Sheen will soon be able to talk about every little dirty detail behind the scenes of season two is that we all wanna know about that kiss. And you know damn good and well he knows we wanna know what it was like to kiss David Tennant. We all have seen this man interacting with the fandom and being a part of it. We've repeatedly witnessed this man go Full Feral™️. We've all seen that Michael Sheen and David Tennant have literally no problem with kissing other men for their jobs. And not even fake ass actor kissing. Not even a kiss next to the mouth shot at an angle that will trick you into thinking they're really kissing.

NOPE

Both of these men have kissed (at least lips to lips idk about any tongue stuff but knowing them??? Probably) men full on, outright, no pretending. So like Michael knows we know this. He knows he's not gonna get away with any kind of half assed answers about kissing the mf David Tennant. But knowing him? And the secrets he keeps with His Angel? He will most likely give us some vague, half flirtatious response and we will all eat it up anyway.

#i know i will #ill take what i can get #because at this point #its nice to see someone who plays a main character in a show #be so involved with the fandom #and dont get me wrong Neil is doing his part too #no discredit there #but michael sheen #has been keeping us fed in these trying times #so once the silence order is officially rescinded #dear lord help us all #good omens #crowley #aziraphale #good omens 2 #michael sheen icons #michael sheen #david tennant

Michael Sheen Gets Into Character, Ep.3 - 28/05/2024

#Michael Sheen #Michael Sheen Gets Into Character #podcast #he's the perfect one to speak about awkward scenes and intimate coordinator #but he could have mentioned MoS at least

Mr. Boldwood you deserved love

You deserved happiness

You deserved BETTER

(I am strictly speaking on the 2015 adaptation)

#far from the madding crowd #michael sheen #william boldwood #he was so charming to the point I wanted a different end #why is always playing characters who get second place in love WHY

[aziraphaledefensesquad]

Some of the crap aziraphale takes apparently bleed into Michael sheen as well. Over on xitter, people are all worried about the main post introducing S3 saying filming soon and it’s all-

How can they film soon, DT is in a play right now! And he’s going publicity and voice work and sooo much! And he will have so much to film! Give him a break please!

And people will jump in going MS is in a play too until June and has some stuff coming out needing publicity so also is working hard and they still insist it’s not as busy as DT and his role isn’t as big so he can film in between etc.

So some of the aziraphale hate is literally because he’s not acted by David Tennant

#I can see you people pretending not to have biases #but when you talk about how the only good doctor who was DT and the rest sucked #and you think Michael sheen is a creep because he married a younger woman #and all your other ships are DT characters or Crowley/other #it makes a fan think you don’t actually love both characters #and are only shipping Crowley/aziraphale because it’s the main ship and gets the most eyes on your work #when you actually dislike the character or the actor playing him

james lance has officially joined the ranks of straight men i trust to portray queer characters

#for anyone curious the others are: #david tennant #michael sheen #taika waititi #rhys darby #and ethan hawke #honorable mentions to #robert sean leonard #ncuti gatwa #billy harris #robert sheehan #and pedro pascal #they’re only in ‘honorable mention’ because i either a) haven’t seen a lot of their stuff #b) havent heard them talk about lgbtq+ related things in interviews #or c) they haven’t explicitly said they’re straight (good for them they dont owe anyone shit) #but yeah this post is specifically about one of the newer james lance interviews where he talked about the research he did to play trent #also i know the ‘should straight actors play queer characters’ thing is a hot topic #imo it’s better if queer actors get queer roles but as long as the actor is knowledgeable i think its fine #i think it matters much more for trans characters tho #jesus these tags are longer than the post #ted lasso #trent crimm #james lance

Crowley (David Tennant) gave me my gender and Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) gave me my body confidence
