This is the exact moment when I looked at Neil Gaiman's reply to my ask today:

Seems appropriate!

[cat-anime345678]

I'm currently fascinated with a commonality with Neil Gaiman's work and his approach to relationships: they all are literally impossible.

Aziraphale and Crowley developed despite being on opposite sides, angel and demon.

Hob Gadling is a normal, ordinary guy from the 1400s, only able to meet the King of Dreams through a bet/experiment.

Edwin and Charles are both dead and existed 60+ years apart, only able to meet because of a "clerical error".

The Doctor is only able to speak to The TARDIS one time.

(haven't seen much of Gaiman's other work, please tell me if this pattern holds)

and I think that is saying something about how he chooses to use the fantasy genre in his stories. His relationships literally could never happen outside of fantasy, and that is what makes them all uniquely special to me. He decides to build his relationships on the foundation of what could be, while still making them feel real and keeping human emotion at the center of it.

when the broody one chokes up telling the sunshine one how much they love them 😭

Many screenwriters assemble a fantasy cast as they write the script. It can help to bring characters alive, and Neil is no exception. In the case of Good Omens, pursuing a vision in memory of the novel's co-writer, he set out to turn the dream into a reality.

'I had Michael Sheen and David Tennant in mind when I was writing,' he says. 'I was half way through Episode Three, scripting the scene in the church, and I suddenly decided that I wanted David. And I wrote it as if I was going to get David. It was a combination of the physicality of the character and knowing he could land every line. You write different kinds of dialogue for different kinds of actors,' he continues, 'and there's a specific kind of dialogue that you write when you know they're going to land it. You can be more playful, for example. So I hoped I'd get David when I wrote Crowley going, "Ow ow ow!" as he walked down the church aisle, and then delivering this entire speech wile having to hop from foot to foot. That's not the kind of thing you'd give most actors unless you know they were good enough to do it. - Neil Gaiman, as quoted in The Nice and Accurate Good Omens TV Companion

Me: I shouldn't disturb Neil Gaiman. I shouldn't send an ask unless I really have no way of getting the information otherwise. I'll check old interviews and all the articles that vaguely mention the subject. Of course it goes without saying that I'll read though the FAQ in its entirety. Only then, will I send an ask. However, I'd be very polite and praise his work, as anyone would. I'd also keep it short, because I don't want to waste his time. But I'd keep it very very respectful. I'd be sending a message to a very talented, amazing author that deals with god knows how many like me. Or I'd just stay in the dark and not send him an ask. Yeah, I'll do that.

Twilight and Yor saying “no” to a polyamorous relationship.

[cat-anime345678]

Oh. That was when it clicked for Yor. She knew this: the hollow aching in your chest, the near permanent dread that made eating a chore, the way all your muscles seemed to perpetually be tensed. It was the fear of the impermanent, the vulnerable.

the great thing about writing and drawing is i can draw what i write and write what i draw >:)

Sometimes you just have to look at a photo of Yor to cheer you up and keep going.
