Micheal Sheen was originally cast as Crowley

(I will never tire of hearing this 🥰)

Neil Gaiman: The truth is that Michael was meant to have played Crowley. That was where it all began: was me going, ‘Who do I know who could be Crowley? Michael Sheen loves the book, Michael would do it.’, called Michael, do you want to do it, and he’s like, 'Yes!’, I thought, 'Great, I have a Crowley.’. So when I started writing the scripts, I was writing them going I know I have - at least I have my Crowley, I have Michael Sheen. And around the middle of Episode 3, I was going, 'This Crowley doesn’t really feel a lot like Michael Sheen.’, and I wrote this sceen when Crowley comes down the center aisle of a church hopping like a man on a beach on a hot day 'cause it’s walking on holy ground and I thought, 'David Tennant would be really good at that, I could get David Tennant.’, and then when it was all done I figured I had to break it to Michael, that he wasn’t going to be Crowley, that I wanted him to be Aziraphale, and he read the scripts, and we had this really really awkward dinner, that because I was trying to pluck the courage to break it to Michael that I wanted him to play Aziraphale, and Michael was trying to find the way to break it to me that he did not want to play Crowley that he wanted to play Aziraphale having read the scripts. So it was an awful dinner until the end where we just like, 'Oh, you too?! Oh! Oh, good! Well I’m thinking of David Tennant, oh good you like him. Okay.’ So it became a lot easier at that moment.

Who do you think you are? Are you Jesus? We’re all responsible for what we did that night, Addy. None of us are gonna be able to live with ourselves if we don’t do this together. Janae, this doesn’t have to end all of our lives.

It’s 2023 we can admit that Elle Woods and Cher Horowitz should date

[chunkyandcreamy]

I thought about it for 45 seconds and I actually have a lot of thoughts about this suddenly.

Like Elle was told by her parents she wasn’t serious enough for law school and they doubted her ability. And Cher could easily be her inverse - her dad is a lawyer and thinks she could be one if she just applied herself because he knows she’s smart and he thinks fashion is a silly degree but she has no interest in law At All.

Cher drops law school (pre-law? I’m not American) for a fashion degree, Elle drops a fashion degree for law school.

They meet through mutual friends and it’s like

“I love your outfit!”

“Thanks, I needed a pick me up after contract law so I went to the mall.”

“Contract law sucks and I love the mall.”

Heart eyes, whatever, it’s that amazing cheesy romcom moment where the music swells and they stare at each other because clearly they have an instantaneous deep emotional connection due to their shared interests.

Tai and Vivian do not date (they are both bi) but they become very good at being third wheels together. Vivian has a hopeless crush on Dionne, who hardcore respects Vivian but is the One straight friend. Tai eventually starts hooking up with the very tall boy who was nice to Elle.

Also Elle and Cher team up to fight the ultimate enemy: the fast fashion industry.

Memes

At a certain point, it was just hard to keep up. They seemed to fall from the sky like fizzing raindrops, soaking everything in pure wildness—memes, that is. 2022 had an absolute bumper crop of memes. The fertile field of this year’s chaos was sown freely, resulting in some impressively widespread phenomena. Most of it remained pretty contained within the dashboard, but at the end of the year the biggest meme of them all broke containment…We’re getting ahead of ourselves here. 

Cast your mind back to January 2022. We kicked off the year with Horse Plinko, which soon joined forces with Eeby Deeby in a frenzy of flaming gifs in which the poor horse plinko’d its way to Super Hell. Nothing has ever summed up the mildly deranged meme generation process on Tumblr so perfectly. 

This era of memes merged smoothly with the Month of Blorbo. Can you believe blorbo from my shows is more or less purely a 2022 phenomenon? Granted, the original post happened in late 2021, but it was the new year by the time “blorbo” secured itself in our vocabulary. How did we even live our lives on Tumblr without the word “blorbo”? It’s impossible to even imagine at this point. 

Springtime dawned with the rise of Live Slug Reaction, which dominated the dashboard as everyone rushed to plop that shocked slug in the corner of their favorite gay moments from TV and film. And in May came a very important event that would define the rest of the year on Tumblr: the launch of Dracula Daily, Affectionately dubbed “tumblr book club,” the serialized email newsletter found a hugely involved following on Tumblr and spawned an infinite variety of memes, beginning with the iconic paprika recipes. 

The Summer of Morbius dominated Tumblr from June onwards, with everyone going bonkers with Morb-based puns, jokes about the film’s most ridiculous moments, and reblogging a single GIF somehow containing the entire movie that would crash your browser when it played on your dash..

The i love you x i love you y text post meme saw us to the end of the summer, and autumn came with the rise of the GOUGER. Or is it GOUGAR? Regardless, the strange but harmless creature took over everyone’s meme palette for a while, getting involved in increasingly silly scenarios. 

This free-for-all was interrupted by the death of Queen Elizabeth, an event that was solemn everywhere else. . But on Tumblr, of course, users swamped the dashboard with Queen Liz-related memes and commentary. And crabs. There were quite a lot of those.

Later, in September, the Try Guys saga unfolding on Twitter and YouTube filtered over to Tumblr in the form of the “lost focus and had a consensual workplace relationship” meme, with Tumblr users casting various favorite co-worker ships in the roles of the controversial real-life pairing. 

And finally, closing out the year, the meme you’ve all been waiting for: the one and only Goncharov (1973). Just in case you’ve been living under a rock, Goncharov is a movie borne out of the magic combination of a misprinted shoe label and Tumblr’s fertile imagination. Thanks to a fake movie poster by user @beelzeebub, which gave names and faces to the characters, Tumblr ran absolutely wild, churning out analysis, fanart, and even fanfiction at an astounding rate. This was by far the meme to win 2022: it gained coverage all over the internet, including the freaking New York Times, and even Scorsese himself acknowledged it. You did that, Tumblr. Goncharov forever, all hail the power of the Tumblr meme!
