I agree with you in that I don't think some people are aware that dissociation can happen even during moments where everything is going well and it doesn't automatically mean the activity is bad or you didn't want it. Trauma is really weird in where and how it pops up and the guy has centuries of it to unravel. It feels weird to see others hold Astarion to this standard where he either has to be perfectly present during every single sexual encounter from now on or it means he didn't actually want to participate. When in my own experience at least, that isn't reality.
delicious. finally some good fucking takes on astarion
So we all know Michael Sheen is perhaps the biggest Aziraphael and Crowley shipper out there, he is down bad for them and regularly read fanfiction, especially smutty fics of the two of them.
So I found this interview quote from him preparing to play Aziraphael and I just love it so much.

Michael said, "I wanted to play Aziraphale being sort of in love with Crowley. They're both very bonded and connected anyway, because of the two of them having this relationship through history - but also because angels are beings of love, so it’s inevitable that he would love Crowley. It helped that loving David is very easy to do."
And asked whether he meant platonic, romantic or erotic love he added, "Oh, those are human, mortal labels! But that was what I thought would be interesting to play with. There's a lot of fan fiction where Aziraphale and Crowley get a bit hot and heavy towards each other, so it'll be interesting to see how an audience reacts to what we've done in bringing that to the screen."

Can we all say thank you to God Michael Sheen for his dedication and his love for smutty fics and David Tennant??? 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
love to dream about buddie sex but really I think if we ever saw buck/oliver and eddie/ryan so much as kiss each other on the cheek or forehead, I would actually die
