Did they have a lesbian on the GO set for David Tennant to consult with or does that degree of dyke swagger just come to him naturally

I know this is "killing" the joke, but (again) I'm obsessed with checking out how actors do their craft and the "Crowley walk" is such a good example of "embodying the character".

This is the idea of finding the way your character "inhabits" your body. It is not as mystical as it sounds, but it has to do with finding the way they relate with themselves and their environment. There are a lot of exercises you can try: from "building the emotion from the inside out", to "finding the animal that represents what you think and feel about them, and now move like it would do". Everything goes, really, and those are really interesting ways of working.

However, after taking some pantomime classes, I also became really interested on the way body mechanics work. One of my favorite notions was "limb's length". The teacher explained to us that arms do not start at the shoulder per se, but rather at the insertion of the shoulder blades, in the center of the back. Same with the legs: they start almost at the same height as your hips (and they include the glutes). You don't have to be as tall and lanky as David is to notice the difference it does when you move. You can also notice how he increases the impact of his embodiment decision by using that rule almost to the extreme: he almost uses his shoulders as the true propeller of his movements as Crowley, and then he pushes forward the opposite leg, from the top.

Yes, thanks to those decisions we can notice he is indeed a snake, with the longest limbs, but he doesn't slither, he swags. Because he is a cool AF snake. That's what would happen if snakes had hips, probably 🤣 That's also why he feels so "dyke coded": most male-coded movements tend to forget about the hips (that's probably also why they tend to look as if they were one single bock from shoulders to legs), but female-coded ones use their hips. That's why "dyke swagger" is a thing, and why it is sexy AF.

In other line of thought, David is a noodle (It was part of the pleasure of him being The Doctor, and one of the reasons he was casted as Crowley, according with the story of "needing someone who could be believable even when acting as if a church was hot sand"). I love him so much.

Whatever the language, the message is the same: pay your actors, pay your writers and renew Good Omens!

Good Omens 2 happened, so I guess I'm back on Tumblr? Right now my dash has some good headcannon and discussion, and just a touch of fic... I would love more of everything. Who are you following for GO content? Where are you getting your fic recs? How can I fill this gaping hole in my soul?

I reread "Slow Show", and it just destroyed me in the best way possible, but I want post-season 2 stuff, too!!!

Hey everyone, I hope you all are doing ok. Just wanted to check on everyone since we got the sad news about Chuck yesterday. I had a very emotional reaction to it.. literally had to stop reading several times and then had a meltdown after making the post here and felt tired and drained the rest of the day, still kind of in that headspace today… so yeah I just wanted to share some links to places I found in case anyone needs them for themselves or a friend who might need them. I also want to add that If you don’t see info for a place near you I encourage you to search, if you took the time to search here that means you are willing and strong enough to look for support and I totally urge you to find it. We all need help and there’s no shame in looking for it outside your close circle. Embrace who you are and remember your mental health does not define you- it’s just a part of what makes you, you. I love y’all, you matter.

Darren’s post was heartbreaking. I’m not seeing much about it on my dash. 

I’ve had two people in my community die in the last couple weeks, as well as a friend’s dad (who I didn’t know, I’m just sad for my friend). It just feels like everyone is dying.
