Hey Neil!
Our family went through some photos and found this one of our mom meeting you at an event signing. (we believe!)
It’s really cool to see the time our mom met her favorite author together!
As for the ‘ask’ part, do you still have those sunglasses?
They are probably in a drawer somewhere. The t-shirt, though, would have been auctioned off for charity long ago.
twelve years of it, in azkaban.
the 9-1-1 fan favorite ship that meets in early s2 between person A, a person we know from s1 who is still figuring out what they want in a romantic partnership as they move away from pointless connections.. finding family/purpose in the 118/firefighting as they have minimal outside of it.. a brother who lost a brother... working on seeking partners that allow them to be authentic to who they are... all their anxiety and heart...
and Person B, our new character, with a serious relationship made serious too young thats not yet fully behind them, a parentified oldest child shielding their younger sibling(s) from their parents, who ultimately need a partner to meet them where they are at and help them feel secure... who pretend to be fine until they are not.. a complicated relationship around parenthood (a wonderful parent) .. who get silly when secure...
buddie or madney?
Hello!! I have a question about the ending of s2 ep6 (loved the season by the way!!)
What lead you to making Crowley kiss aziraphale? In the past i recall you mentioning that you felt unsure to stray too far from the original material or say anything new about their relationship without Terry Pratchett being here so i wonder what caused you to change your mind? Not complaining, just curious :)
I said I wasn't going to change anything about the nature of their relationship in the first book, and I didn't. I know what Terry and I had planned for the sequel, though.
The fact that Good Omens S2 was SO QUEER.
Not Just Maggie and Nina (and Lindsey)
Not just Aziraphale and Crowley
Not even just Gabriel and Beelzebub (who is NB)
But the magician shopkeeper and his trans/NB spouse who wore a fancy early 19th century dress to the ball.
Job's son who was flirting with Aziraphale (hilariously played by Ty Tennant giving Michael Sheen heart eyes in front of his dad lmao)
Even the tough macho man in Scotland that Aziraphale borrows the phone from - using it for "Grindr".
Plus of course Michael, Uriel, Muriel, and Dagon also all being non binary/gender queer characters.
With all this, there was no homophobia, no one batted an eyelid at any characters sexualities, sexuality wasn't even brought up, characters just are who they are and like who they like. Its a non issue in the GO universe.
AKA my favourite type of queer representation. The same type found in The Sandman (show not comic).
And whilst there was plenty of drama and not everyone gets a happy queer ending (YET) there was no queer trauma to be seen. No hate crimes, no "bury your gays", no stupid discussions about how HARD it is to be out of the closet in a bigoted world, because the GO world isn't bigoted.
Its SUCH a BREATH OF FRESH AIR.
I know we have similar experiences in The Sandman, In OFMD, and even in WWDITS, but each time a new show takes this very new approach towards queer representation I feel like I'm once again sinking into a comforting hug from someone I love, who loves me back.
Its just really fucking wonderful to see. I hope we keep seeing it more and more often.
if i had a nickel for every time a gay show gave me a gay kiss before ruining my gay life…
id have two nickels. which isn’t alot but its FUCKING DEVASTATING THAT ITS HAPPENED TWICE
my friend who doesn’t have tumblr wanted me to ask you about good omens s2
“I have to know why at the garden of eden, aziraphale doesn't know crowley when they would've already met at the creation of the universe.”
Why does your friend think he didn't know him? Aziraphale didn't know what the demon was calling himself. But they knew each other.
I'm written by Donna Tartt. Not in the way that I'm ethereal and smart and well-read. But in the way that I will do anything to be perceived well by a bunch of pretentious people. In the way I never feel smart enough, worldly enough, or that I'll ever fit in, but I'll pretend that I do to a fault. In the way that despite it all, I still have a god complex regarding my intellect
girls be like "this is my comfort character" and then they're either dead or a murderer
#Which one is now married again?
Remus Lupin doesn't hear his name very often.
His father always called him "son," if anything at all.
His mother always preferred "caraid" or "dear."
His professors all knew him as "Mister Lupin."
Even Poppy Pomfrey called him "young one" and "sweet boy."
His best friends used to say his name, but once found out what who he was, he was "moony" "moons" "our moon" "fluffy little problem."
Everyone had a name for Remus Lupin, it was so loud in his head.
Which is why he smiled so openly and unguarded when he was woken up in the library by Regulus's soft voice saying "Remus, come on, it's nearly curfew."
