Day 1 of Ineffable May: In the beginning

I worked on this way too much.. I can feel my body dying for god's sake.

I cant stop thinking about The Boy and the Heron.

It's horrifying. It's fantastical. It's tragic. It's beautiful. It's hopeful.

It's about grief. It's about family. It's about war. It's, "You don't have to walk the same path your ancestors did." It's "Your lived experience builds a world as deserving of your attention and care as your inner world" and "You inherited a flawed world, and you are flawed, and that is still beautiful" and "I made this beautiful thing and it's ending and that's just how it goes, but wasn't it beautiful?"

It makes me think about the worlds we make within ourselves and how they can be entrancing and wonderful even as they lead us to walk deeper into ourselves and away from those around us. It makes me think about connection, about how love can be so flawed sometimes but it is still something we need to hold onto. It asks "What if the monsters never asked to be monsters?" and "What if things can die before they're even born?"

It's about not being afraid of fire, not being afraid of endings, not being afraid of the world falling apart, of pain, of walking away, of reconciling, of finding new family and new love even as you mourn and miss what you lost.

It says, "Beautiful, wonderful things end, but afterwards, you can go home."

I'm going crazy.

Hello Mr Gaiman I was wondering if it was an intentional choice to show Gabriel and Beelzebub in love without a kiss scene because they are more detached from earth and humanity unlike Aziraphale and Crowley who know about human pleasures and rituals and adapted them.

I don't think kissing scenes have much to do with love. Anathema and Newt kissed when they barely knew each other in Season 1, and none of the other couples who loved each other did. I can't see any reason for Gabriel and Beelzebub to kiss: singing Everyday together seemed much more powerful. Crowley's kiss is about a lot of things but it's not to show they're in love: if you haven't got it by then you'll never get it.

"[Wait and see] began on Tumblr. And then, seeing I was writing episode 5 at the time and it was already a thing, it crept into the show." — Neil Gaiman, and his commitment to the bit.

hello neil! i was curious about one particular line in s2. when crowley’s talking to that woman and he’s leading her outside and she says something along the lines of “you’re a nice lad” and crowley responds “i’m not either” was that intended to be about his gender identity? thanks!

He's not nice. He's a demon/fallen angel not a male human. He's not a young male human. He's not (young) or (male) or (human) or (nice).

moonwater soulmate au where soulmates feel each others pain so remus feels regulus being abused at home and regulus feels the transformations every full moon

also remus recognizing the kinds of injuries sirius has (and tries to hide) as being the result of abuse due to his soulmates injuries, which is why hes the first marauder to realize what sirius’ home life is like

also also pre-hogwarts sirius memorizing the moon cycle for regulus so he could know the exact days hed be hurting the worst, which is why hes the first marauder to realize that 1) remus is a werewolf and 2) remus is his little brothers soulmate
