I'm thinking I actually have to watch this.

He was so good.

The Weaver of Time

YOU SHOULD

Youtube has been giving me so many videos of CROWLEY AND AZIRAPHALE BEING X

And it absolutely seems like my kinda show.

And probably book as well.

they are fucking amazing

like i adore the book and have for years

but the actors inhabit the characters in a way that is just transcendent

I need to see this show.

you do!

it's fun and irrevent and insightful

Gaiman wrote the script himself

so it's an awesome adaptation even though there wasn't time for every detail or anything

Gaiman was even in one of the trailers :>

yes!

also they gloriously cast male/female/androgynous actors for demons/angels traditionally shown as male

without any commentary

Neil is pretty good about representation and turning expectations on their heads

i even recall him being unapologetic about.... what was it, having Adam and Eve be black? something like that that got a bunch of people pissed off

HAHAHA YES

he was like WELL IF IT TURNS OFF PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT'S GREAT

a fun interview about that and other things

here it is

omg bless him

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THE BOOK

It's super great and really funny and the show is about as perfect an adaptation as you could hope to watch

Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide. Two of these were wrong.

(Those being that he is English and that he is gay, as heaven is not England and Az is not a man)

Or rather angels are sexless unless they really want to make an effort

The thing I linked earlier actually has commentary about the non-binary representation in the show along with Gaiman’s response to it.

yes!

lmao sorry i missed the link the first time around

that's awesome though!

It’s ok. A lot was happening right then. XD

i'm glad you linked that yes, it's my favorite thing at the moment
