#so funny for those of us who thought MS was the sillier actor meanwhile he was out there doing the most having a prestige drama career while

[thealogie]

it was actually a completely bizarre experience going into good omens knowing nothing abt Michael Sheen OR David Tennant. and i even vaguely knew DT was the doctor at some point i just didnt recognize him when i first watched gomens 😭 first of all i got the impression that MS was a much more sillier actor than DT. like firstly i had the impression that Having Been The Doctor comes with a bit of prestige (clearly not lol) and theres something about crowley thats just a little darker and a little more stoic abt him compared to aziraphale (obv hes still silly, gomens is a deeply unserious show but yknwo)

i went back to watch DW after gomens s2 as seemingly everyone else on the planet did which was a completely INSANE experience. i did not know DT had the capabilities to be this whole fucking off the rails hyperactive weasel (obviously everyone else did, this is what 99% of people know him for) like who the hell is this freak THIS is DT?? THIS is the guy they picked to play crowley?? and it just made me realize how absolutely insane that decision was... like in what world?? obviously gaiman saw this insanely powerful vision we simply were not ready for because he's like the most perfect crowley like the most crowley to ever crowley. crazy

I think all of us who didn’t watch doctor who had this same experience except when I watched dr who i fully understood why that would be the perfect Crowley audition. Fundamentally both characters are tragic while also living by looney tunes rules. They could get flattened by an anvil and they’d just get back up and shake it off, but if they get so mucin as an emotional paper cut it’s time to look blankly into the distance with repressed emotion
