Neil Gaiman - Blog Posts
This just reminds me of the question 'are alcoholic people more flammable than normal people?' this was just due to the fact that most of my family are pyromaniacs and that we have a significant amount of Irish in us...
Neil Gaiman about David Tennant: He's a wonderful man. He's one of our finest actors. He's really funny. He's astonishingly Scottish. He's a great father to his kids. He's extremely flammable.
Crowley/Nanny Ashtoreth Headcanon
After rewatching the show and focusing more on the character(mostly Aziraphale and Crowley) instead of the plot. I realized that Aziraphale and Crowley switched jobs that they would presumably do much better. Angels are usually perceived as kind, loving, and nurturing so it would be assumed that Aziraphale would do well taking care of a child. While Crowley, whose hobby is taking care of plants, would work well as the gardener. That made me wonder why their roles were switched. Maybe Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett thought it would be a funny thing to write or if there was something deeper.
Personally, I think Crowley made the decision to be the nanny because he had a natural connection with kids. Compared to most demons, Crowley is more mischievous with his work, similar to children that play pranks. I also headcanon that Crowley has unresolved trauma from his Fall because he saw God as a parent. This further convinces me of my opinion. Maybe Crowley sees himself in children- innocent and curious who are susceptible to “bad crowds” and suffering. With Aziraphale, I think he likes kids but would feel uncomfortable taking care of them because he seems to prefer being on his own reading books or enjoying a meal with Crowley. Plus, taking care of plants would be easier since he can miracle them to be healthy if he messes up.
Yall I caught Aziraphale and Crowley at Pride today!!!!
good omens in sandman??? its real now
The only thing that marred the appearance of a man in a deep sleep was the way he was… faded at the edges, not quite solid. The way his form fizzled, like a television or radio signal just out of range, his appearance becoming translucent before returning to normality.
my piece for Karalyn’s fic!
in the (very) beginning…
Petition: Save Good Omens, Fire Neil Gaiman
Please consider signing the petition below that I created this morning since it seems that we have not yet formally asked for this to happen and it must. I've included the petition text here as well:
We, the fan community of Good Omens, are calling on Amazon to fire Neil Gaiman and replace him with a new showrunner for Season 3.
After several days of digesting the abhorrent abuses of power to which Gaiman self-admits guilt, it is evident that the values of this long-running community are not reflected by Mr. Gaiman. Many of us are sexual assault survivors ourselves and all of us are allied with those who are. We feel very strongly that we cannot financially support Good Omens with Mr. Gaiman still in a position of power within it and are calling for his immediate dismissal.
As a decades-old fandom who has long-since proven reach and spending power, we feel confident that Amazon will see the value in producing more Good Omens the way we request: with Mr. Gaiman gone from the process.
Thank you.
Well guys, if the allegations are true we should all support the women involved. If they are false we keep doing what we’ve been doing. If the allegations are true we should also pull a Harry Potter and make our own stories and fanworks based on the characters. That way, we don’t indirectly support Gaiman. We must do what the Marauders fanbase taught us and say ‘fuck you!’ to shitty creators and make them mad. Stay safe out there and remember that your feelings are valid!!
If you are a victim of SA, please reach out and get the help and care you need. You are loved 🫶🏽
GO GO GO! GO FORTH QUEERS! SAVE OUR SHOWS!
REMINDER: MASS WATCHING OF DEAD BOY DETECTIVES ON FRIDAY TO SUNDAY, STARTING AT 1PM FOR OLD AND NEW VIEWERS.
SPREAD THE WORD, TELL YOUR FRIENDS WHO HAVEN’T WATCHED THE SHOW ABOUT IT, AND HELP OUT!!
END THE CANCELLATION STREAK BECAUSE QUEER/YA SHOWS DESERVE MORE THAN JUST ONE SEASON.
GUYS GUYS GUYS
Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel is Aziraphale and Crowley's love child. THINK ABOUT IT. His behavior, his mannerisms, the DUCKS, his looks, his motivations. HELLO!?
Listen to the man, kiddies. Our Season 3 depends on it.
I've noticed that people have started spreading the 1992 Good Omens script around. Please don't. If you've got it up, please take it down. There's a mess of serious and real legalities involved, and I don't want to have to start being a dick and asking for copyright takedowns and all of that, and I don't want to have to regret letting it out into the world. Just take it down, unshare, delete links. Thank you.
NO CAUSE IM STILL FUCKING WEEPING
NEIL GAIMAN SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN
(I don’t mean that I think you’re great but I still need processing time 😭💔)
Aziraphale there better have been something in that coffee or I’ll burn all your favourite books myself.
Not seeing nearly enough appreciation for the pure excellence that was 24/7
I mean the entire cast was just incredible and it basically stands on its own as a short film.
You get so invested in these peoples stories and the atmosphere is so tense and chaotic, and John Dee is just chilling
Even if he is just a smol guy in the corner eating his ice cream whilst everyone else is getting laid😂
Did not expect to spend my day crying over a gargoyle named Gregory but here we are
I'm making a sideshow for my boyfriend about Discworld and why I like it, and for this slide I will explain how I became an instant Pratchett fan but why it took me a bit to warm up to Gaiman's writing.
Also I'm going to introduce him to my favorite characters:
1. I am very happy that Terry Pratchett is trending in some capacity.
2. Why is it happening?
I know I'm not the target demographic for this movie, so I'm not going to say too much about it. I do have a genuine question though:
Why does the Rat King move and look like the Other Mr. Bobinsky?
Is it the standard "hoards of rats trying to look human" style? The Amazing Muarice and His Educated Rodents is one of the few main Discworld books I haven't read, so I don't know how it's described in the book. I have read and watched Coraline though, and I did just get done watching The Amazing Maurice.
I'm woman enough to admit that the idea of the Nazi zombies kinda scares me.
Like, they must still be wandering around. I doubt Crowley or Aziraphale did anything about them since they were just kind of ignored and allowed to wander off.
And they were already falling apart after a few hours of being dead. What would they look like now? Would they still hold their Nazi ideologies? I don't like zombies.
I finally watched those last two episodes. The series started off strong and ended by using that strength to rip the heart from my chest.
"I hope these last two episodes are good, 'cause I am loving this season. Everything about it is so perfect." I stand by this 100%. it was beautiful, and I'm sure I'll write a huge thing about it later.
10/10 would cry again.
4/6 of the way through Good Omens 2. I'm avoiding spoilers, but in the safe places I look nobodies talking about the C.M.O.T Dibbler reference in episode 3 on the Laudanum bottle.
I hope these last two episodes are good, 'cause I am loving this season. Everything about it is so perfect.
(I saw a few other Pratchett stuff, but once I've watched the whole thing I'll go back with a fine-toothed comb)
by the looks of things its not going to be quiet,gentle or romantic
this is not looking very quiet,gentle and romantic fam
Hello Good Omens Fandom, you have landed on the nice list for the holidays: we present the Aziraphale & Crowley Angelic Playlist. @neil-gaiman
this didn't start as good omens fanart but it just felt right
in my correct opinion Crowley would listen to this and cry
tumblr really trying to show me things that aren't good omens but oh no i will not be broken
Crowley asking questions
?
next goal is you doing the apology dance
I had the good fortune of having nothing to distract me from watching the Good Omens graphic novel kickstarter go from the first £600 (I was a little slow clicking the link) to breaking the goal of £25,000 about 8 minutes later (I was on a bus home from work), other than briefly when I went to pledge for myself. It must feel amazing to have seen the positive reaction everyone's had and see how loved the story is in real time. I keep going back to see what the total is up to by now and just smiling. I just want to say good luck to whoever was meant to be coming up with stretch goals if there were any more planned, I feel we may have overwhelmed expectations a little, as the 250,000 level was meant to be the next level up when the goals were added but then I watched it tick over that about 5 minutes after it was posted 🤣
Yup. We need to start brainstorming potential goals.
so nice of amazon to make another ineffable husbands playlist
