jmourning replied to your post “Signs of Mutual Attraction.”
Holy God, I have never seen that specific pic of them by the wings Good Omens sign... The longing in David's eyes, the way his hand is flexed ready to grip almost desperately on to Michael's arm and Michael's expression there is so soft...
Tumblr media
This one honestly took my breath away the first time I saw it. It's such a small moment but it is so incredibly soft and the way they instinctively reach for each other vividly shows you the connection between them. And this was in 2019, before lockdown and everything else happened and they got even closer, so just imagine what we are in store for on the GO season 2 press tour...

see, this is what i mean. im not necessarily putting this as, like, a hard-set theory, but i do find the whole thing odd. to summarise thoughts on this and from other posts:
big-ass miracle, ended up registering say between 2500 - 25,000 times the strength of a normal miracle, and was done with the intention of each of them hiding gabriel from the other's former side so noone ever notices him
michael seems to register that there is Something Off in ep2, which as @jmourning rightly pointed out, may have been because of the fly going around with the Essence of Gabriel inside (and i do, upon reflection, think this is key here so bear with)
muriel recalls an assistant in ep5 (despite him being upstairs because the bookshop is always closed on wednesdays) but confirms they never saw him. now, could be that they eavesdropped on the conversation, but again - like the above - think it might be them sensing a Presence (ie the buzz buzz), and just assuming it was the assistant... basically just one big confusion
shax can sense something in the shop at the end of ep3, which i do think is genuine. she then verifies that it's gabriel by tricking aziraphale in ep4
crowley then assumes, and informs the group (and the audience) that the reason that the miracle was so successful is because he and aziraphale did it in synchronisation, together, etc. this reflects on his "well done us!" line in ep5, but i think the assumption we've taken is that the miracle was so powerful because of them doing it together.
so here's my tinfoil hat reasoning:
aziraphale and crowley were hand in hand with the shell that used to be gabriel (jim). gabriel was already in the fly at that point, so presumably the miracle didn't actually affect gabriel - only jim*. so, in a way - did the miracle actually work? because if michael and shax (and possibly muriel) are still able to sense gabriel, that would indicate that the miracle took, but not on gabriel. gabriel was in the fly, not in jim.
the angels and demons dismiss jim, especially when he's going around saying outright that he's gabriel, possibly because a) 'well i can't trace any 'gabriel' in him, so obviously not, shut up', and possibly a bit more fancifully (?) b) i think neil has said that in heaven, they do not use their human forms - even if that's what we see - so would michael et al. actually recognise his human face? they've never been on earth with him in the same scene, only sandalphon.
*a miracle of some kind did happen. we have incontrovertible proof of that, right? well...
Tumblr media
if gabriel was in the fly, but it was jim's hands they were holding, was something... or someone... a fragment... in jim that caused a shockwave to the tune of 25 lazarii? okay frankly - did they just hide, or attempt to hide, the almighty?
(again, biiiig thank you to @jmourning for the heads up on the fly - i think it's bang on!!!)

Holy shit the look in David's eyes in that second pic....
(Reposting the pic here because it’s too lovely not to:)
Tumblr media
It’s quite something, isn’t it? I love when we get to see David looking as intensely and hungrily at Michael as Michael normally looks at him. Not to mention the way he’s touching/reaching for Michael and vice-versa, as if they’re both about to physically bring each other closer. The chemistry here is just unbelievably powerful, and you can all but see that magnetic “pull” between Michael and David, that mix of adoration and attraction and feeling as if there is no one else in the room but them...

jmourning replied to your post “That hug cleared my skin and watered my...”
I swear that "and Michael Sheen obviously" was like, oh my boyfriend is on stage with me, I must mention him. I can't get over that one.
Oh it absolutely was! I was so delighted to see that from David. I’ve mentioned time and again on this blog how he’s always been the less demonstrative of the two of them, so to see all of that raw emotion and vulnerability from David last night was so special and moving. You could almost see how the pandemic/lockdown has changed him, as it has changed so many of us, making us appreciate the people we love in a way we perhaps didn’t before.
David truly seemed overcome to have Michael on stage there with him. Even though they saw each other just recently (while Michael was in London for Under Milk Wood), it’s like what made David emotional was the feeling of seeing Michael at an event like this, something so completely and utterly normal that they haven’t gotten to do for ages and ages and maybe weren’t sure they would ever get to do again.
And then--as if the hug and “Look, it’s Michael Sheen!” and mid-speech shout out weren’t enough--David and Michael actually walked off stage with their arms around each other. (David’s around Michael’s shoulder, and Michael’s around David’s waist.) 
Tumblr media
Truly an amazing night, and one that they (and we) won’t forget anytime soon...

jmourning replied to your post “Do you think the negative attitude in the fandom...”
I was and am rather appalled at some "fans" on Twitter before season 2 of GO was announced voicing their displeasure at "old" fans (meaning female fans) shipping "two old men" - I mean, I personally think DT and MS are both quite attractive and as I was late to Fandom had mostly seen positive interactions across the Fandom, most debates about body type and sexual preferences of the characters. I'm still shocked at the ageism.
It really is something, isn’t it? What’s interesting to me is that it seems like there are two types of GO fans unique to Twitter, but on opposite sides: The ones who constantly sexualize Michael and David and talk about their bodies in a “positive” way; and the ones who do not view Michael and David sexually and talk about their bodies in a negative way, even if indirectly.
But what’s not unique to Twitter, sadly, is the ageism. The idea that it’s only okay to ship characters/people if they’re under a certain age. What these fans don’t realize is that life doesn’t stop when you are 30, and neither does love. An entire facet of Aziraphale and Crowley’s relationship (almost all of it, it could be argued) is that they didn’t fit in where they were from, and it was through their relationship with each other that they found and accepted who they are. Even though everyone and everything else in the universe had decided it was too late, Aziraphale and Crowley got a second chance with each other. They chose each other, exactly as they are, That is another facet of the show and their relationship--that Aziraphale doesn’t measure up to the “ideal” physical standards for an angel. And despite that--or perhaps because of it--Crowley chooses him.
Going back to the previously mentioned Twitter fans, that type of reaction makes me angry on a different level when thinking of Michael and David. If Michael and David are in a relationship--speaking hypothetically here--wouldn’t that be something that would make them feel reluctant to be public about it? Fearfulness of the potential response, for a number of reasons--both of them already being in “monogamous” relationships with women, the impact on their careers due to homophobia/biphobia in the industry--and particularly fear of judgment from people because they had the unmitigated gall to find each other when they weren’t young and pretty.
The truth be told, neither of those extremes--sexualizing or shaming--are good. Both dehumanize Michael and David and reduce them to a commodity, albeit in different ways. I know they are actors and fans feel this weird sense of ownership over the characters (and them, by extension), but...can’t we just treat Michael and David like people? Can’t fans stop looking at them and seeing exaggerated (positive or negative) versions of Michael and David, and see them as who they actually are? I think that’s all anyone wants, really...

I just love that they asked him like... Just random David question at the end here? Oh, you two aren't married, my bad. ;)
feuerkindjana replied to your post “invisibleicewands: (x) Q: One final quick...”
I'm always amazed how his voice changes instantly and gets deeper and somehow softer when he talks about David. Not happening with AL if he mentions her at all.
I really do think it’s his “tell,” if you will. The change in his voice. We’ve now seen at least two different occasions where Michael has done this (the other on the GO press tour), and it’s noticeable enough to warrant commenting on. Others who have been in the fandom longer than I might better know if Michael has given a similar vocal tell when talking about other people he’s been in relationships with (Sarah, Rachel, etc.), but to me this is almost something that is distinctly related to David. It’s like Michael stops speaking from his head and starts speaking from his heart, as if David is connected directly to those deep places inside.
Also yes, completely agreed about the randomness of the interviewer asking Michael about David, especially when David had nothing to do with the rest of the interview. Why not ask what he got AL--his actual partner, who was actually mentioned by him--for Christmas? I just love that Michael and David are so tied together (maybe even literally, because hey...tis the season to be kinky) that any interview with them separately is somehow not complete without a mention of the other. Merry Christmas to us all indeed...

jmourning replied to your post “invisibleicewands: (x) Okay, but this...Q: “Who...”
I'm just... did he basically say he wanted David to be his everything? (I don't ship Real people but it's David and Michael.)
Yes. Yes, he did say that. It’s like some reverse Andy Gibb situation going on and I am living. Oh, Michael...

jmourning replied to your post “I love that you can just see Michael’s repressed...”
I swear the only photo in this set where Michael doesn't look like he's about to murder someone is the one where David's head is on his shoulder.
It’s funny because it’s true...
When it comes to Michael, David is pretty much a Xanax with legs, and him being the only one who can calm Michael down is what inspired me to write a fic about this shoot. I love that they truly are each other’s safe “person”/safe space, in their own ways. It’s something that first became really apparent when Michael was a guest on David’s podcast in 2019 (especially because that’s where they talked about hating this photo shoot!), and has just gotten more visible since then. Bless their beautiful souls...
