Same silly hand-wringing, different format. No wonder Neil is at home here on Tumblr
below is the letter received by Neil Gaiman from the “concerned mothers of america” in ‘92, and his response :)
he mentioned this letter in a recent interview with Pink News:
“I remember getting a very grumpy letter from the ‘Concerned Mothers of America’, informing us that due to the number of gay characters in Sandman they would be boycotting us and we had to repent,” he said.
“We never repented and the sales just went up, and up, and up. So I never really worried about their boycott.”
I have never heard of a ptarmigon before, and if someone had described what it looked and sounded like I would have thought they were pulling my leg or describing a funny local cryptid. Knowing that this funny little bird with the angry red eyebrows that makes croaky "oh wow" sounds exists adds that much more brightness to my life

Jason dons this uniform anytime a) a fellow counselor or camper says anything even vaguely homo- or transphobic b) as a sign of solidarity any time a lady counselor gets catcalled or shamed for their choice of uniform c) whenever its particular hot out and he feels daring.
Was watching Sleepaway Camp earlier, and I had to replicate those lovely early 80s outfits.
*opens mouth, nothing comes out, thinks....*
✅ Raven
✅ Scarecrow with jack-o-lantern head
✅ Not one but two Haunted Houses™️, with one caretaker murdering the other on the daily
✅ A stately, poised librarian who dresses and acts like its still the Victorian period
✅ Gargoyles and dragons galore
Is it ever explained why Merv is a pumpkinhead or is he just there to fully establish the fact that this is indeed the realm created by a hardcore goth?
Look at this distinguished gentleman. Look at the way he is reading the paper, mmmyessh, very distinguished.
COS Edward, for @suiilee ,for no particular reason. With glasses, also for no reason, I just like to give people glasses. @suiilee you keep reminding me of COS, I will need to watch it again soon. I remember when the movie first came out I loved that he had a pony tail - that was before he had one in the manga. Those were the days, eh? P.S. get sticker here
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.
I nominate Cartoon Saloon to do the deed of animating
No more live action a song of ice and fire adaptions. Anime ONLY. I want that shit treated like Vox Machina

BRO THEY ARE LITERALLY VOICED BY THEIR REAL LIFE LOOKALIKES I LOVE NIMONA SM
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.

*Are there* any good fanfics where its Sansa who gets the heck out of Dodge after Ned's execution, and its Arya who is pulled into the Lannister's iron grip? Coz if so, I would very much like to read them.
I hate oppression olympics posts about Sansa and Arya any day of the week, but illiterate losers acting like Sansa was a privileged captive with her name while Arya wasn’t.
When like no she wasn’t ?? Sansa was the daughter of ‘traitor’ and part of the psychological torment she was put through daily was to act grateful to her captors and to constantly come up with reasons why she was good and worthy of being kept alive, fed and dressed, one slip and those things would be taken from her. Sansa had a tiny safety net while Robb was alive, but it got smaller and smaller, and after he was dead, it was virtually non existent.
Not to mention the beatings that were actually really severe. No one force you to like Sansa, but for god's sake, she's a child beaten on a regular basis by grown men wearing armour!
Boros slammed a fist into Sansa’s belly, driving the air out of her. When she doubled over, the knight grabbed her hair and drew his sword, and for one hideous instant she was certain he meant to open her throat. As he laid the flat of the blade across her thighs, she thought her legs might break from the force of the blow. Sansa screamed. Tears welled in her eyes. It will be over soon. She soon lost count of the blows. (ACoK, Sansa III)
And she was literally forced into a child marriage with a man twice her age, married into a family who had been responsible for her father's death, who later murdered her mother and brother.
Let's ask Arya if she'd prefer to live on the run, hungry and in constant danger, or be a captive in King's Landing, forced to marry Tyrion Lannister.
