The first time I saw you I knew, I knew
It was in your blazing smile, in the crinkles by your eyes, in the warmth of your laughter. It shone so brightly, illuminating me, soon reflecting and radiating from both of us
It was in your gentle gaze, in the way said my name, in the softness of your embrace. It still shone brightly, but in the way that private whispers and tender sighs do, for that shine was meant only for us
It was in the way that no matter the time, no matter the distance, no matter the number of goodbyes, it remained. It was there, it was always there, and I keep coming back to you again and again because
The first time I saw you I knew, I knew
I knew you were the one

Only Friends Episode 8 | Sand Being Best Boy
I love this man so much. He is the shoulder you will want to cry on. Seriously though, anyone who gets to be Sand's friend is incredibly lucky. This boy will take extremely good care of you.

I've seen some discourse going on today with one of my other posts, so, very quickly:
The gif above is of David on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show yesterday, where Michael's name was brought up (of course) in reference to Staged. The screenshot beneath that is of a tweet from Anna the day after Michael appeared on Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC 6.
I've already talked about my thoughts on AL's tweet on this post, so I will try not to repeat what's been previously said. But to be clear, what is being compared between these things is not David's "Martin Sheen" comment vs. the one from the radio hosts. The comparison is between how David's and AL's comments on the same topic come across, especially from an optics perspective.
In both cases, the presenters are getting Michael's name wrong (Chris Evans deliberately; Radcliffe and Maconie seemingly by accident). David follows along with the joke that CE is making and adds to it, without it being at Michael's expense. You can see the sweet smile on his face and even hear how soft his voice gets and tell exactly where this comment is coming from/what he means by it.
With Anna's, we are looking at text instead of video, so right off the bat, I fully concede that this puts her at a disadvantage. In the case of Radcliffe/Maconie, the presenter clearly accidentally misspoke, so AL's tweet seems somewhat disproportionate in response. Michael also spent a good portion of his time on that radio show gushing to the hosts about what a huge fan of theirs he is, and how he plans to keep listening to their show. So it doesn't seem to make sense that he would be okay with Anna attacking people he admires on social media literally the day after he was on the show.
Michael is/will also soon again be employed by the BBC. Looking at it from that optics perspective, it comes across as very unprofessional for Anna to be passive-aggressively mouthing off at Michael's employer, because there are actual potential consequences that can come with that (although we would hope this wouldn't be the case). Am I saying that AL could actually harm Michael's reputation or job prospects? I'm genuinely not sure, but either way, why would she be okay with saying things online that would even have any chance of negatively affecting her own partner?
I would further add that it is not misogynistic to suggest someone should be accountable for the things they write online, or the potential consequences that come with it--whether that means costing Michael jobs, or straining his relationships with industry contacts, or just making him look bad. The only thing that is misogynistic is to say that being a woman means Anna can't be responsible for what she posts online. Because if she is going to be in this business and going for an acting career, then she has to be held to the same standards of professionalism as everyone else.
There are so many other things I could say, but I'm just going to urge folks to read the post I linked to above if you'd like to know more of my thoughts. Hopefully this clears things up...

Me going insane when I remember that the Studios rejected a House of Wax Prequel that explained everything instead of us pulling fan theories out of our asses and having 5 fanversions of Bo and Vince and Les that no one can prove or disprove as canon.
