One thing that never ceases to amuse me about the gertrude-era-assistants part of this fanbase is how the two most popular choices of who Michael Shelley is shipped with are father and son.
What makes it even funnier is that neither of them are (cannonically, but it's Michael Shelley and his timeline already doesn't make sense, I think we're allowed to rewrite it a bit) his age.
What makes it even funnier than that is that they're very similar personality wise. We don't agree on who he should date, but we sure agree on what his type is. (That and like a bunch of other things. For a character that has about 30 seconds of screentime and is otherwise monolouged about by the thing wearing him like a skinsuit, we all sure have very similar ideas about him).
