My lecturer: creates literally the worst PowerPoint I have ever seen in my life.
Also my lecturer, every 5 minutes: I'm so good at writing PowerPoints. I bet you're all so jealous of my PowerPoint writing skills.

Neil Gaiman: I loved writing Good Omens collaboratively with Terry Pratchett. It added so much depth to the story and was really enjoyable. We had so much fun using "yes, and..." interactions to further the plot. I'd definitely recommend writing with friends to anyone looking to get into writing.
Tumblr: *Develops concepts to a movie collaboratively using "yes, and..." interactions to further the plot, making media analysis more accessible to people who don't have much experience and allowing people from drastically different fandoms to interact in a new and interesting way.*
Neil Gaiman: No, not like that.
I definitely think there's Something (TM) to say about the portrayal of "off-human" characters in modern media adaptations as having (particularly facial) deformities and/or learning disabilities.
Robert Louis Stevenson was fully like "this is my OC, Hyde, who represents the impact of a complete apathy toward your fellow man. There is nothing extraordinary about him except that his rancid vibes make people uncomfortable which adds to the core theme of the role of morality in humanity, so its really important that he's physically normal so the audience can recognise that it's what's inside that's most important," and every film adaptation was like "mmkay. Yeah, no, I've got it. We can show that he's evil by using prosthetics and making him non/semi-verbal, which, as we all know, are the True Measures of Evil."
a bunch of people are in my inbox rn asking me how to get a boring office job so here’s an answer
