#michael x dagon

[lilliththefan]

We don’t talk about this moment enough? Why did Dagon STOP the moment Michael shook their head?

DAGON, GET UP 😭😭 WHY ARE YOU FOLDING AT THE SIGHT OF A PRETTY ANGEL’S DISAPPROVAL??? THIS IS SIMP BEHAVIOR I’M TELLING YOU 😔😔😔

[sentientsky]

you’re in her dms, im infodumping to her about pathetic middle-aged queer couples from That One Show

[shynrinn]

Have to get this off my chest, I'm telling you...

[actual-changeling]

no cause we moved past this wayyyy too quickly. this is my roman empire, i think about it every single day because i SWEAR this is important for season three

just look at them!!! for reference, the angels they're looking at are currently positioned like this:

shax isn't even looking at them, and shax & furfur have matching expressions, but dagon? like my beloved duke of hell, not to tell you how to conduct warfare but i don't think striking a pose and pursing your lips is the way to go here????? especially because when dagon starts hissing at them, michael shakes their head and they STOP immediately.

whatever is going on here, michael and dagon are a) probably dating angelfish <333 and b) definitely having secret meetings and their own plans outside of heaven and hell

i really gotta continue/finish the michael meta i have in my drafts but tl;dr i think there's a good chance michael will be the first/one of the first to join their own side in season three. with dagon. and maybe neil will be nice and give us a kiss or some handholding, ANYTHING.

[weird-but-hey]

Dagon: Lord Beelzebub?

Beelzebub: What- I'm not helping you guys, I'm off clock, nu-uh!

Dagon: No no no, wait, I have to ask

Beelz: No way! I didn't think you'd need my help that soon, come on!

Dagon: Please, I have to know! How did you know?

Beelz: I'm not telling you- wait, know what?

Dagon:.....know.. you liked an angel

Beelz: ...

Dagon:

Beelz: NO-

Dagon: Yeah

Beelz: N O- Which one?

Dagon: Wha- I'm not

Beelz: .... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Headcanon that every angel has a demon who's their soulmate (romantic or platonic)

That one being they can trust and be themselves with, someone who can be their safety net and help them break their conditioning from their respective sides (I'll make a post with more on the conditioning later)

Till now we've seen:

Aziraphale has Crowley

Gabriel has Beelzebub

And there's been some speculation and shipping of:

Muriel and Eric

Michael and Dagon

(I only mentioned shipping cause those seem to be popular as romantic pairings but they could also easily be read as platonic!)

Now going to my point: I have this headcanon that metatron is just taking advantage of the systemic problems of heaven and spewing more and more bullshit to the angels to manipulate them into doing "what God wants" and has taken over by this point (mind you he is not necessarily THE problem of heaven, he's more of a representation of what is wrong with the system as a whole while also representing real people who are in positions of power and take advantage of a broken system to meet their own interests).

Now what if God,knowing that would happen, decided to pair the angels and then made half of them fall so that they'd have different points of view? Which yes is cruel and again a representation that God is kinda fucked up and so is her system and you might ask why do that? Why make all of them go through all this suffering to learn a lesson that wouldn't even be necessary in the first place if only she hadn't created the very problem the lesson was about?and my answer to that is: go read any passage of the Bible, that's just how God is,with all of her trials and tribulations...

But anyways, back on track: since they'd be fighting they would need a middle ground that didn't belong to either side (earth) and as they'd compete for human souls they'd end up meeting their soulmates and together they'd hopefully get closer to the humans and would start a process of deprogramming (I'll dive more into it on the conditioning post), cause that's pretty much what's happening with Zira and Crowley, is what happened with Gabe and Bee, they met their soulmate and started learning to enjoy life outside the feud between heaven and hell,they started learning that there's nothing wrong with just being happy and finding out who they want to be outside the limitations of their sides

So yeah

God knew shit would go down because she designed it to happen and decided to pair them all up to have some support on their journeys

It's not just Gabriel who has that mad ✨Archangel Charm✨

Right, Dagon?

[sunderwight]

I don't think an abundance of demon x angel couples would actually have to come from god "intending" them to hook up, personally I think they'd just sort of be liable to happen extremely often if heaven and hell didn't have a purely adversarial mentality towards one another 99% of the time

mostly because the organizations are mirrors of each other, which means a lot of demons and angels are going to find their equal-and-opposite in similar figures from the other side of the tracks, as it were

like gabriel and beelzebub basically had the same job, and that's a big part of what they bonded over. the same job plus very similar natures and experiences. despite supposedly being antithetical to one another, demons and angels are fundamentally not that different, and with the rigid hierarchies of heaven and hell, their best chances of finding equals who understand them is in looking to their opposites in the other big supernatural organization out there

crowley and aziraphale have had the same job for six millennia. one angel, one demon, the only ones around with that job, and thus comparable experiences and worldviews. even though they obviously liked one another even before that, it's shaped their bond a lot

gabriel and beelzebub get to talking and abruptly realize that they both don't actually care about their jobs or causes, and would throw it all away for the chance to be with someone they really connect with

michael and dagon lock eyes and they are the only two people in that room who have basically the same position as one another. high-ranking but not supreme, subject to the whims and terror of a manipulative overlord (satan or metatron, different styles but same results), both wanting the war to happen so that they get on with things - it's no wonder that dagon is willing to take a cue from michael

muriel and eric SHOULD be friends, actually. they can bond over secretarial work and being treated like garbage

and I bet sandalphon and hastur would be bros too. ligur also if he wasn't... y'know. melted

they’re just so…

[janeway-lover]

i haven't seen anyone give people shit for the angelfish ship cause now we all know that Neil is just as feral as the rest of us and if he gave us ineffable bureaucracy he could give us this

[shynrinn]

they lasted 7 seconds >:))

[actual-changeling]

okay hear me out.

michael and dagon pick nina's coffee shop as their meeting place (it's accidental at first, they're both trying to keep an eye on muriel and crowley respectively and it's a big what the FUCK are you doing here???? but then they fall in love the end) anyway they're having dates with enough sexual tension to power the whole city.

nina notices. maggie is over every single day and also notices. they're like okay those bitches are not just gay they're definitely not human. but also they're gay and we need to help them fall in love. yes? yes. okay.

in the process of that however nina gets over her lindsay heartbreak and her and maggie get closer and closer and dagon and michael get closer and it turns into one big lesbian coffee shop romance.

meanwhile you get the occasional appearance of crowley and muriel in the background and the funniest part is that the lesbians are so preoccupied with each other they stop paying attention to anything else.

so the background story is just crowley being heartbroken but then aziraphale comes back, they fix their shit etc. but no one notices bc michael is staring at dagon's lips and dagon is trying to regain their higher brain functions and nina and maggie are making out in the back.

crowley and aziraphale are happy, stopped the apocalypse again, and nip by the café just to be like "michael??? dagon???? tf are you doing here???" and they're like. wait. what are YOU doing here? fuck what time is it????? ah doesnt matter i am captivated by my lesbianism.

and then they all live happily ever after the end

Angelic Communication Styles

AKA “how to get answers without asking questions”

Saraqael

We know Saraqael low-key helped Crowley see Gabriel’s trial.

But I’m starting to wonder if they were doing something similar in the ep2 scene with Aziraphale. They wrapped it in sarcasm (“don’t tell me you did it”) but they did give him the exact 25 lazarii measurement. Given the usual power level of most miracles, that’s actually really useful info for Aziraphale to have. Hey pay attention, you somehow did something incredibly powerful, maybe you could do it again?

What’s happening here?

In an environment where questions are fraught, people sometimes learn to do the reverse: to volunteer strange/out-of-place answers to each other, knowing that they’ll return the favor. Sort of an answer-based gift economy.

For example, when I was an evangelical, we loved to show each other the more out-there stories in the Bible. Never questioning them or calling them bad, but just sharing them. Talking through what their message might be, and what non-Christians might think of them. Swapping answers to all the questions we couldn’t ask.

(many of the people I used to do that with, including myself, became atheists — we eventually got enough answers to put the full picture together, without ever having to go through a scary “questioning” phase)

The other angels

Aziraphale does this kind of thing with Crowley a lot, saying things that are NOT questions and do NOT challenge God’s plan (in fact, they support it) but which he knows will get a rise out of Crowley. He hasn’t asked a question, but he’ll be able to get an answer anyway.

And thinking through Saraqael’s behavior, and some of the other angels’ behavior, this isn’t just limited to Aziraphale.

For example, Michael saying “angels and demons, they can’t just-“ <- that’s a statement, not a question, but it’s being stated to an audience that Michael KNOWS FOR A FACT includes AT LEAST TWO angel/demon couples who might be provoked into responding to it.

And we can extend that to ask “why are so many of the angels extra rude/superior about heaven?” It could be pure self-righteousness. But it’s also an extremely effective way to get others to push back at what they’re saying. To voice all the doubts they themselves are not allowed to say. We know Aziraphale does it with Crowley, but what about Gabriel, or Uriel? Were they sometimes pushing buttons in the (subconscious) hope of getting a response?
