Twitter Fandom Proposed To Michael Sheen Over The Weekend, And He Actually Accepted

It did not take long after the release of Amazon Prime's original show "Good Omens" in May before fans fell absolutely in love with Michael Sheen, who plays Aziraphale. Fans binged through his entire filmography in the following weeks, wanting all of the Sheen content, and with a strong Twitter presence from the actor, it wasn't long before the fandom grew into something greater.

An article was written on how Michael Sheen had become Twitter's new boyfriend. Sheen had done something not many celebrities did on social media: he actually interacted with his fans. Several fans earned replies from him, artists were promoted with his retweets on fanart, and there are several occasions where he was never explicitly tagged, but only mentioned, and he managed to find the tweet, giving the original poster a subsequent heart attack.

After being named Twitter fandom's boyfriend, it wasn't long before the fandom finally decided to pop the question.



But not before Neil Gaiman, writer of "Good Omens" and showrunner,



To which he replied...




The fact that he even acknowledged the silly joke made the fandom explode.



With anything on the Internet today, the joke sparked some unnecessary drama. Personally, I saw nothing wrong with the original tweet. Other fans took it the wrong way and read too deeply into things and tried to suck the fun out of it.

Nevertheless, after a few days of hearing no definite answer from Michael, another fan decided to pop the question themselves.



This time, Sheen finally gave them (and the entire fandom) an answer.





The fandom is overjoyed, as you can imagine. After all, they recently got engaged.

So, congratulations to the newly engaged! I can't wait to see if we will actually have a wedding, or if we will have to suffice with the myriad of fanart already produced.

By the way, when recently asked and apologized to about the entire ordeal, Michael Sheen responded with this sweet tweet, saying he found it endearing from the beginning. I am soft and we don't deserve such a lovely fiance.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
