Ozpin: "Did you tell her to try working the shaft?
Oscar: "Yes, Professor."
Ozpin: "Good work."

We're old now...
Watching Turning Red last night made me confront the reality that 1) 2002 is now long enough ago to be a nostalgic setting for a movie and 2) people roughly my age who were adolescents in the early 2000s are now making movies at Pixar
They really don't know how to support female characters without pitting them against each other, and it shows. Its not impossible to like *both* Stark sisters, you know.
Ship girl stans like to talk how she is the champion of the smallfolk and the trash talk Jeyne Poole an actual commoner for calling Ary@ "horseface'' way back in the book one, i swear to God some of them did not move from the AGOT and it shows
That's pretty much all Sansa antis, not just the shipcels. They're mentally stuck on book 1 and never left (it also explains why they all still think Ship Girl is an oppressed underdog and Dani is still being victimized).
The thing is, yes, we saw Sansa at her worst there (though that's not saying much when other characters' worst is murder or rape) but we also saw her at her most innocent and sweet. I never had a problem liking or empathizing with AGOT!Sansa and it's weird to me so many people do.
Also, if they wanna judge the Starks in book 1, they should talk about Jon's moodiness and Ar.ya literally beating Sansa up. They're lucky their faves don't get negatively judged by first impressions.
Gonna hang onto this until Season 5...
If Ashley does end up with a stable superpower, I hope it’s super-hair like Medusa and Sindel.
Patton seems to agree ^^
"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."
"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."
One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
Checks out. ^^
Can someone explain to me why Tumblr seems to have a near-universal but rather specific lust for grinning, skinny dudes in formal attire with a dark sense of humor and at-best-questionable morals? (okay I know Bill Cipher doesn’t quite fit the bill for “grinning” or “skinny” but most of his humanized fanart does).
My theory is that Jack Skellington is the unintentional predecessor to them all.
Friendly reminder that direwolves were very very real in case anyone thinks Neil or George made them up:

Sorry if this has been asked before, but was Lucifer's "I am a dire wolf?" a reference to GOT because of Gwendoline Christie?
Not unless the Dire Wolves in GOT were George’s reference to Sandman. That’s from the original (1989) comic.
There is so much going on that I don't know what to comment on first...
Here. A bunch of cursed images and memes redrawn as dp characters
I love the thought that in two, maybe three hundred years when the Internet, Neil Gaiman, and Larry Welz are a distant hazy memory, The Innkeeper's Soul will be told with the same folktale reverence around fires as Stingy Jack O'Lantern and the darker versions of Grimm's Fairy Tales: an amusing fable about the power of human love trumping the petty squabbles of Heaven and Hell
I don't expect this one to get answered, but a friend who I recently introduced your work to asked, and I was curious:
Have you ever dabbled in writing erotica, or possibly better termed, smut? Maybe under a pseudonym?
Given the wide breadth of topics you've written about, and given that most artists of any type tend to dabble at least a little, I would guess that the answer is yes, just curious if any of it ever got published anywhere?
Thank you for your time, good sir. I've been a fan almost as long as you've been writing. Still looking for a copy of The First Four Years of the Fab Five for less than a billion dollars, and looking for a replacement for my stolen (and signed, in person, long ago) copy of Don't Panic.
There's a story called "Tastings" in Smoke and Mirrors, and a few bits of American Gods, but that's all I can think of so far.
This so wholesome.~
There needs to be... More wholesome Schneebling headcanons!!
Every Schnee child has their own favorite drink. weiss LOVES hot cocoa with marshmallows,
winter drinks 5 cups of black coffee a day (she says it's black coffee but she secret adds 10 packs of sugar when nobodys looking),
whitley is convinced that tea solves all issues (depressed?? Drink tea. Heartbroken?? Drink tea. Your family is falling apart?? Drink tea).
winter used to dote so hard on whitley when he was still a small child. If Toddler Whitley is not within her line of sight for 5 seconds then he must have fallen of a ledge or smthn. Cue 12 year old winter freaking out because ohmygodwhitleyisgonewhereishe and willow just silently smiling
If Toddler Whitley wanted you to carry him, you had to. Even Jacques. He didn't take no for an answer.
Everyday willow would take the schneeblings out to her garden to eat lunch. Picnic blanket and everything.
Willow would pick flowers out of her garden and teach them how to make flower crowns. Winter saw it as a waste of time but she took part in it because she saw how much Weiss and Whitley loved it.
All the schneeblings spent at most the first 5 years of their life not able to fall asleep without hugging one of willow's summons like a teddy bear.
While weiss did ballet, winter did gymnastics before running away to atlas academy (at some point she was the 4th consecutive atlas wide gymnastics champion baybe!!), and whitley did (and still does) figure skating. They're all just very very talented.
None of them have ever really been a relationship, but all three of them secretly hope that one day they'll fall in love with someone
They've all had crushes in the past, but winter is the most mature about it because pRoFeSsIonAlisM while weiss just tends to be very tsundere but caring. Whitley is just a blushing disaster.
whitley snorts when he laughs, which is a major insecurity of his, so winter and weiss make it a point to never bring attention to it (even in the present time). Willow always tells him that it's cute, but he never believed her. Jacques says that he sounds like a pig. Sorry I had to do it.
None of them have a knack for art. The best any of them can do are stick figures.
Willow had a different way of showing affect for each of her children when they were still young. She would give winter an exaggerated smooch on the cheek to embarrass her, weiss a small soft peck on the forehead, and whitley multiple tiny kisses on his nose.
Winter actually insisted on teaching whitley some self defense and he hesitantly let her teach him a few things. And no, this wasn't just an excuse for winter to flip him over her shoulder a few times
Weiss got involved too but Whitely quit when they started to complete in how long either of them could hold up Whitley the longest bridal style
Given how isolated they were, they only has each other for the longest time... meaning that all of them have some very very embarrassing stories about each other.
Please please feel free to add more!!!!! We all need some Schneebling wholesomeness before it goes down for real ಥ‿ಥ
