(Putting this in a separate post, because I think it deserves its own. Original post is here, for those who are interested.)

Ever since watching OFMD, I’ve been thinking more and more about an Aziraphale/Crowley kiss in season two of GO. Whether it plays out the way I wrote it in my other post or not, it increasingly is something I really do want, and here is why. In the first season of GO, there was a sex scene between Newt and Anathema, and it was completely unnecessary. It added nothing to the plot, and was over the top to the point of being cartoonish. It was another in a long line of straight sex scenes that are in everything, everywhere, and nobody thought twice about it because it was between a man and a woman.

That is what I want for Aziraphale and Crowley. I don’t want it to be something extraordinary or special that two man-shaped beings would kiss. I want it to be remarkable because it is so unremarkable, because of course this angel and this demon love each other, of course they are together, and there is nothing that anyone can question about it.

It’s why having Aziraphale and Crowley say what they feel out loud matters so much. It’s why they don’t even need a sex scene, but just one kiss would mean the whole world. We live in a society that denigrates and dismisses queer affection in so many forms, but making Aziraphale and Crowley’s connection overt and undeniable would be the start of something, and would hopefully open the door to all the different ways there are to show queer love.

I also think more and more that Aziraphale and Crowley’s relationship being pushed to the place that it was in season one was because of Michael and David. As much as I love Neil, it’s become clear that he was operating within heteronormative parameters, and a relationship like Aziraphale and Crowley’s was something he doesn’t have a personal reference point for. But it was Michael and David who made that relationship what it was. Michael and David whose chemistry and acting and the connection they developed that made it impossible to deny that there is something between them. So even if Neil wasn’t prepared to take the relationship there, Michael and David brought it there all by themselves.

When I think of GO season 2, I can’t help but think of that chemistry, and how foolish it would be of Neil to see that chemistry between Michael and David and not do anything with it. I think he also very well knows by now that no matter what he writes–or doesn’t–Michael is going to gay it up to the 5000th power, and David will happily join him every step of the way, because that is who they are. Maybe they even got to have a little bit more say in the direction of things this time around, and maybe not…but regardless, I have hope.

Hope that things will be different this time.

Hope that Neil will use the powerful chemistry between Michael and David wisely, and won’t let everything that is  between them go to waste. For the characters’ sake, and theirs.

Hope that the “extraordinary” idea of two men/man-shaped beings kissing  on screen will become completely and utterly ordinary, something no one  thinks twice about because that’s just what two people who love each other do.

I approve of this edit…

I’ve watched “Wilde”. It was on my to-watch list for a pretty long time, thanks to @xenolinguistics-department​ ’s Instagram it was there even before I started making different segments for different actors. Be sure, though - I watched it because of Michael Sheen. I’ve seen clips from this movie in so many Ineffable Husbands Human!AU videos… Well, Michael Sheen is twenty-eight years old in that movie and it’s just illegal to be so young, pretty and charming! Have you seen those eyes? (And lips, and buttocks which were shown for the whole screen…) I probably should confess – I have read “The Portrait of Dorian Gray” and I didn’t like it… It felt boring and pretentious. I’ve read some of Oscar Wilde’s short stories (yes, the one about the giant too) and, what’s the most important - “The Importance of Being Earnest” – I’ve seen twice in the theatre and it was great! So, I’m a little familiar with Oscar Wilde’s works, but not a big fan of it. I’ve also seen Stephen Fry for the first time in that movie and I liked his performance a lot. I also wanted to make a note – I don’t know how historically accurate it is, so I’m not going to judge it those grounds. I enjoyed this movie so much! It’s dramatic, it’s romantic, it’s sensual (I was going to write sexy, but this word is just not good enough). I’ve seen so many beautiful naked young men in this movie. A lot of them was Jude Law, but I’m not saying it’s something bad. I cried a few times while watching – a lot of times, when I saw Michael Sheen, during the scene (Spoilers!) when Oscar and Bosie had a meeting in prison and started holding hands through the bars and I definitely cried in the end, which I didn’t expect to be at least slightly happy, however, it was. So, watching queer movies with no particular actors in them.

I don’t know what is that, i just bought gouache colours, blanked out and here it is, so don’t juge, don’t think too much about it either.

Aziraphale is a sexy bastard, fight me.

I got sick yesterday that’s why today I’m spending my day in bed so do Crowley and Aziraphale.

Oh, I don’t know. Colour is not really my thing, I reckon, but I tried. Aziraphale is extra so she’s wearing a fancy headpiece and she’s into 50s, Crowley is just cool, as always. They are my ineffable wives, that’s it.

You know what? I regret nothing. I’m a simple human being, I ship Aziraphale and Crowley and if they have to kiss, they kiss and I draw them kissing.

I like 18th century and the esthétique of that era and I think, it really suits Aziraphale.

Some historical looks and reckless flirting from Aziraphale.

AU, where Crowley looks like Davina and Aziraphale is a queen of 50s, is my canon. Also I really like an idea that the angel is tempting Crowley, not otherwise, because Aziraphale definitely knows all about pleasures and hedonism.

AU in Rococo style where Aziraphale can have as many bows as he likes.

Look I am firmly in the I don’t care if they kiss or not camp, but can you just fucking imagine if there is an Aziraphale/Crowley kiss and every interviewer asks Michael Sheen how it was to kiss David? Like, that would be such an insanely feral press tour. I can’t even imagine. People would live and die in the looks Michael Sheen would give before answering that question.

It was about time to post something about the nice and tickety-boo angels
