#adam!

adam “i guess i’ll just accept the help.”

gansey:

have you ever noticed how human michael acts this episode?

like he scoffs, and smiles, makes jokes, is mad, and shows all these other emotions

and that's just baffling to me because when angels were introduced they were always these emotionless statues, and you would expect michael, the very first archangel would be the same.

but no!

the entire episode he reacts to stuff somewhat like a human, with emotions, conveying disagreement, or unhappiness, or amusement and that's not what we were shown angels were like.

so!

what could've happened?

bet you can't guess

adam. all the pain, and sorrow, but also happiness, and joy, michael must've seen it all when inhabiting adam. and michael obviously knows what these emotions are, he's an archangel, but it isn't until after meeting adam that he starts expressing them. because he falls in love with adam, and sees how human these emotions make adam. and maybe, unconsciously, michael wants to be a little human too, if only to be closer to adam.
