 #so um is this movie actually gay or is this just michael sheen being himself

I’ve seen it. It’s an adaptation of Far From the Maddening Crowd and is a fairly typical hetro period piece romance with the two characters above being in love with the same woman so…yeah. It’ Sheen being Sheen.

#Micheal Sheen would have sexual chemistry with a roomba if  you put them on screen together

AZIRAPHALE - Female-inspired

and most people didn’t even recognize the costume let alone want to hear my nerdy details about why I put it together the way I did so I thought I’d share with you, the Good Omens fandom, instead XD

I look terrible in waistcoats. TERRIBLE. So when hubs said he wanted to dress as Crowley and Aziraphale-- and he’s taller and skinny and I’m short and round so the assignments were clear --I had to start thinking about how to put together an Aziraphale look I was comfortable with.

So I thought, if Aziraphale fell in love with clothes in the Victorian era, what if he’d been presenting female at that time and had fallen for female Victorian clothes instead? So what if the look was still “Victorian-era clothes updated to moderately modern times (but still pretty old-fashioned looking)”...but starting with what’s popular in the Victorian era?

I managed to buy almost the entire thing on Amazon and fairly cheap!

- High-neck blouse with tie...and I lucked into some light brown and blue tartan fabric to replace the white tie it came with <3

- High-waist skirt selected to mimic a corselet skirt (more Edwardian than Victorian but SO WHAT). Color was originally a more russet brown but I used RIT dye remover to fade it into the cream color photographed

- COAT...this is the thing that took me the longest to find something I liked and that I could reasonably afford for a costume (cream/camel’s not my usual color). I wanted something that had a little more of a drapey/cape feel because in the Victorian era women wore CAPES. I woulda gone with an actual cape if I could have found one in the right color!

- Shoes - I wanted something with buttons that had a little bit of the right feel, I didn’t want to wear spats or faux-spats. I tried to find a French heel but didn’t find one I liked in the right color and price range so I went with these (which I will wear again).

- Shitty blonde wig. I hate wearing wigs because I always buy crappy cheap ones-- I took this off maybe a half hour or so into the party --but I don’t usually wear costumes that require wigs so there’s not usually a point buying good ones...oh well.

So...yeah. I hope some costume / fashion history nerds find this and enjoy this (even if it’s to rip me to shreds) ^^

At some point in your life, you will probably have a bad friend.

At some point in your life, you will probably BE a bad friend.

A bad friend doesn’t necessarily mean an abusive friend. It could just be someone who is incapable of being supportive when you need them to be. Or someone who you don’t really have chemistry with, but still feel an obligation to be friends with. It could be someone who expected too much of you. It could even be because of bad communication. It can be unintentional. It can just be a brief rough patch. It can sometimes be irreparable. It is not the end of the world, even if it feels like it in the moment. It’ll be okay. Just breathe, acknowledge what went wrong, and if it was your fault, accept the responsibility.

[schizophrenicarchivist-remade-d]

This is not only okay to reblog, it’s encouraged! Many of us have made mistakes, and we to need to acknowledge and reflect on them. Otherwise, we won’t ever become our best selves.

[olivianeesan]

god, it took me ages (and a severe anxiety reaction to being ghosted) to even begin to learn this

it’s so incredibly true though

[notkatniss]

paddington 2 is not the RT best reviewed movie of all time for fucking nothing………. like thats cinema

Wow!

Crowley: What I like about you, Newt, is that I can tell you I invented the hamburger, and you'll believe it.

Newt: You invented the hamburger?

Crowley: Absolutely.

Newt: Wow!

[ezraomii]

Crowley: If I die, my funeral is gonna be the biggest party and you're all invited.

Aziraphale: "If".

Newt: Great, the only party I've ever been invited to and he might not even die.

[olivianeesan]

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

[minotaursauce]

Of fucking course

What sick bastard doesn’t

“You’d be surprised”, said Xaldien, who just lost four followers and received a lovely “men can’t be raped” anon shortly after reblogging this the first time.

Michael Sheen about him playing a serial killer in Prodigal Son (x):

Seth Meyers: I mean, again, playing a serial killer, it’s menacing. You also seem to be having some fun with it. Is that accurate?

Michael Sheen: Well, I sort of realized that if you’re a monster, you don’t want to signal that you’re a monster because people will run away. And you want to kill them. So you don’t want them running away. So you have to be kind of be nice and cuddly and wear cardigans and be funny and charming. I think that works.

Seth Meyers: Wow. You’re put so much thought into this. I think you’d make and excellent serial killer.

Michael Sheen: Thank you.

[fuckyeahgoodomens]

Reminder that Michael Sheen now stars in a new show Prodigal Son where he plays a serial killer (!). Apparently seemingly a cuddly one :D. 

I think that we have been incredibly lucky to get David Tennant and Michael Sheen as our demon and angel, because those brilliant actors truly do have some amazing range! :))

That sound you hear is thousands of wangsting sexist fanboys shrieking in horror.

Suck it.

[skeletonmug]

not just sexist fanboys, but racist ones too. That’s a little black girl. Despite what certain groups would have you think, comics aren’t the preserve of white men and they never fucking have been. 

[olivianeesan]

Romance comics for women used to be big money even, but the Comics Code killed it. (Oversimplification, but there it is.)

Good Omens TV Episode 6 comments/doodles!

Full-size/quality/un-Tumblrized GIFset here!

Not as much context needed for these as for the Late Night with Seth Meyers one. I was trying to take GIFs that we hadn’t otherwise seen before but I couldn’t resist capturing that cackling one, even though I think I’ve seen one around.

(Also I love Jameela Jamil and she looks so cute in the episode.)
