Michael on the Late Late Show a few years ago talking about how he was almost in a production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch and I cannot overstate how much I wish this had actually happened...
(Bonus: Completely unintentional reference to the beginning of episode 3 of The Way at the end by James Corden, along with Michael's reaction. The noise I made...)
Aziraphale is going to be one of the featured queens at an upcoming Drag Queen Story Hour. He’s trying out stage names with Crowley.
“I’m leaning toward Anita Read,” he says thoughtfully.
“Angel, that’s a terrible drag name.”
“But it’s a pun, dear! Isn’t that one of the preferred naming conventions?”
“Yeah, but, it’s not very drag. The puns should be sexy. Like Courtney Act. Ngk. Or, it could be silly like Hedda Lettuce. Maybe you could be Stormy Teacup. Oh! You are a perfect Ioana Tease,” Crowley chuckled. Aziraphale shot him the I am not amused look. He pivoted. “Ok. Maybe use the angel thing. Angel of Small Death. Or Angelique Ecstasy.”
Aziraphale broke into a smile Crowley knew well. The angel was truly pleased. Crowley quietly congratulated himself.
“Oh, I quite like Angelique. Thank you, Crowley. I’ll be Angelique Reads.”
Behold, my MEGA MULTI-FANDOM COLLAGE OF DOODLES AND NONSENSICAL COMMENTARIES!!!!
I've OFFICIALLY graduated from high school (kinda) and one thing that kept me going through this phase is all of the fandoms I'm in or at least dipped my foot into for a bit. The entertainment media is really important to me, it helped me keep my sanity through many tough times. And in return, I like to doodle the artist, the characters, the memorable scenes, etc. whenever school just feels too much. I tried to salvage as much as I could, cut them up and put together this framed collage. This isn't only personal and reminds me of all the good times but it also symbolises an end of an era for me as I'm about to walk into the uni gate and be responsible for lots of things, I guess... Thank you for all of the wonderful moments and let's hope for more in future <3

Part of me wishes he’d gone for it and combined his acting career with being a drag queen, because holy shit does he look beautiful in women’s clothing and makeup.
An excellent in depth pre Good Omens interview with Michael Sheen. He talks Frost/Nixon, The Queen, politics, his beginnings as an actor, RuPaul’s Drag race, going to drag shows, the value of genre fiction…
Just need to say this: Being a fan of someone does not mean worshiping them blindly, but neither does it mean dragging and canceling them because they do not agree with your exact worldview. Being a fan means being honest about who someone is...including the parts you might not always like. It means knowing that they are as likely to make mistakes and hold imperfect views as anyone else, but that does not make them incapable of changing and evolving. And it means seeing the person as a whole, flawed human being, not just as the version of themselves that you find acceptable.
