11:35are you actually going through with this indeed i am can i watch an angel and a demon in love is a
11:43subversive tale that will never not make us swoon aziraphale and crowley have an immense love for
11:49each other but whether it is romantic or not has often been brought into question well perhaps you
11:54could tell me while we dance we don't dance although they kiss in season two the now disgraced creator of
12:05the show neil gaiman revealed on tumblr that the kiss wasn't meant to show they're smitten instead it
12:12was the only way crowley could express his volatile feelings when his pleas for azira failed to stay

13:04any day hannibal and will's dark romance captivated fans worldwide however their twisted attachment
13:11was sometimes perceived as coded even though writer tom deville mentioned that the show at its core
13:17was always intended to be a same-sex romance betrayal and forgiveness are
13:25best seen as something akin to falling in love as the series ended with the leads falling from a cliff
13:32without so much as a lip lock showrunner brian fuller felt the need to defend it as the most authentic
13:38culmination of their relationship he further admitted that he probably would have them kiss if he could
13:45get a do-over you know their their lips lingered so long you know hovering above each other that uh you
13:53know once again i i don't think we can roll that back i don't i don't think that's authentic i don't think
