people will say “they’re only friends” and then show me two people who would crawl through broken glass to hear the other laugh once. two people who have memorized each other’s coffee orders, fears, childhood stories, and emergency contacts. two people who would haunt each other’s houses as ghosts. be serious.

I'm probably a traitor for this, but if we could completely disassociate them from the shit show that was season 3, I could watch a series with Asa and Anthony.

Aagain, as long as there was NO association with s3 or pretense that they're the new Aziraphale and Crowley.

F* you know who for that.

Hi dear @phoenixthemenace!

You are not a traitor at all! They’re cute and I’m happy for them. It only bothers me in the context of GO3, for the many reasons already discussed at length.

I think the GO3 finale awakened an even stronger desire in many of us to see Michael and David acting together in a rom-com.

I had the same thought, and watching them, I realized that their behavior reflects much more of Michael and David as just them, the way they are sitting at that table and looking and smiling at each other...

(for science👇)

So my RPF lil heart has been somewhat healed a bit from that crap. A small patch on an artery wound 😅.

After taking some time to shake off the shitty emotional intensity of the finale, I’d be thrilled if they did a project like that together. It would be awesome to see them together again with their husband energy.

(Always Fuck you NG!!!!!!!! 🎀)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me, wish you a nice start of the week and sending you a virtual hug 💙

This was posted on Twitter the other day and I felt compelled to write a post about it. It seems there is a city named Port Tennant in South Wales, and it’s located just up the road from Port Talbot, where Michael grew up:

Could it be Fate? Kismet? Destiny? Whatever you want to call it, however you want to define Michael and David’s relationship–colleagues, best friends, lovers–them finding each other seems like it was almost certainly meant to be.

We know of course that Tennant isn’t David’s real last name, and that he changed it when he became an actor. Pure coincidence, one could say, that he chose the name Tennant. But that’s the thing, isn’t it?

Choices. All the little choices that were made along the way that led to something much bigger.

Michael’s parents chose to move back to Port Talbot and raise him there. David chose to change his last name from McDonald to Tennant. We know he saw Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys mentioned in a magazine, but still. Of all the names in the wide world, for him to choose that name is somehow nothing short of extraordinary.

The first thread in the path. A connection, an invisible rope tying Michael and David together long before they could see it. The universe working its mysterious magic, ever so slowly.

And then, years later, Bright Young Things:

Another thread. Another choice–Stephen Fry putting Michael and David in the same movie, though they never shared the screen. Something pulling them closer, but not yet completely together, because Fate works on its own timeline.

You can see it there, at the BYT premiere. Soulmates in waiting, somewhere in the background of each other’s lives, aware of but never fully appreciating their presence. The barely visible beginnings of a majestic structure waiting to be built. The outline of something grand. Something timeless.

And then…Good Omens. At last, Michael and David’s paths converged–from Port Talbot to Port Tennant, from Scotland to Soho.

Once again, little choices ended up making a big difference. The choice to film GO now, instead of twenty or thirty years earlier. Michael being cast as Aziraphale instead of Crowley. Michael choosing to play Aziraphale instead of Crowley. The choice to fight for David as Crowley, despite every objection.

In the end, the result of those choices was pure magic.

This is it, the universe said. This is the right moment. This is when they need each other.

Three years after season one (and on the verge of season two), we can still see it. A connection that has endured through a pandemic, through chaos and uncertainty, and that only seems to be growing stronger with every passing day.

Destiny, having staked its claim long ago, now sits in the distance, watching, smiling. You made so many choices. Choices that needed to be made. But the path was already clear. I just left the threads there for you to find.

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where, I love you directly without problems or pride: I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love, except in this form in which I am not nor are you, so close that your hand upon my chest is mine, so close that your eyes close with my dreams.” - Pablo Neruda

Thinking about this again in the wake of the Good Omens finale and how wonderful it is that Michael and David have and will always have each other…

Another behind the scenes video posted by Prime, this time with Michael and David talking about/thanking the fans.

It truly is bittersweet to watch this, to see and feel the affection radiating from Michael and David for the fans and how the fans were such a massive, integral part of the show and the filming experience for them. And to hear that "it's been one of the great pleasures of our life" only augments how intertwined Michael and David have become since starting the show, to where their separate lives have now become a life that they share together.

Yet the difference in tone to the GO 3 behind the scenes clips we've seen of Michael and David as compared to season 2 is incredibly striking. The joy, the flirtatious, light atmosphere of seasons past has been replaced by something far more somber, and it's never more apparent than in watching them here. Michael and David have never once had to struggle for words when it comes to Aziraphale and Crowley, but everything in these clips feels much more measured, clipped, and cautious, and you can both see and feel the stress of production weighing on them.

I've always felt so many things when watching Good Omens and especially Michael and David, but one thing I never expected to feel was heartbroken. So much has happened, both with the filming process and the fandom's reaction to the finale, and watching Michael and David now, it feels as if we are mourning the show together instead of celebrating it.

It should not have been this way. Good Omens should not have ended on this downbeat and crushing of a note. Not for the characters, not for the fans, and absolutely not for Michael and David, who have had to take on so much while processing their own emotions at the same time.

The connection and relationship they gave us is one that they built between Aziraphale and Crowley and between each other, and I just hope they know how much both of those mean to us...

What the hell @goodomensonprime ?

So David plays both of them and Michael is just watching from the sidelines, cheering him on?

It's fine on IG btw. Above is from Facebook.

I always knew the day would come when Michael and David would merge into one person, what with David already revealing his plan to smell Michael and climb into his beard. But not this...

In all seriousness, I'd like to hope that Michael and David would probably find this funny, but the last thing we needed right now was yet another example of how little Prime cared/cares about Good Omens...

If they had outwardly been a man and a woman, they would have slept together ages ago. And there wouldn't be all this talk about their "transcendent" or "elevated" love. Hell, their entire concept as characters is that they've become deeply grounded, far removed from anything lofty or divine. Are you serious?

The people saying they didn't need a second, proper, tender kiss because it would have been "the same or less" are just fucking homophobes.

Including Prime.

Fuck the kiss, why the hell didn't we even get a HUG?!

They were literally dying in front of each other, and all the writers deemed acceptable was for them to hold hands for the first time in 6,000 years?

What, are hugs too sexual now? Too intimate? Not "transcendent" enough?

Have you all completely lost your bloody minds?!
