I have realized that the perfect form of media must have a delicate balance between absolutely heart wrenching pure emotional devastation and the most ridiculous nonsense you have ever seen in your whole life

[dee-morris]

Our side.

You ever make a Good Omens reference at like school or work and then suddenly realize, oh right, I'm in the waking world and none of you understand about the ducks.

imagine how bizarre this fandom looks to the outside world. we're all gay asf and screaming about two middle aged men and making the most random references. we send neil the most unhinged asks and get equally unhinged replies. try looking at the tags "archangel fucking gabriel", "bildaddy the shuite", "welsh seduction machine" and assorted years like 1941 and 1827 or whatever else without context.

can't believe that in 1990 neil gaiman and terry pratchett had the foresight of naming aziraphale 'Aziraphale' just because it rolls particularly nicely off david tennant's tongue specifically

[dee-morris]

look, fandom as a whole certainly has its own built-in biases and problems that need to be addressed 

but like

every so often i think about all of the deep, nurturing lifelong friendships that only ever happened because one day two internet strangers were like ‘oh hey, we agree on which fictional characters should kiss!’

people who are right now helping each other survive via connections they initially forged by liking the same sailor moon girl or something

the internet is a goddamn garbage pit but it is also a goddamn miracle

That's probably why he has anxiety. He knows his instincts are shit and he can't trust his own brain half the time.

What must THAT be like.

If I was Aziraphale, the hitchhiker reappearing by the side of the road after I'd already driven past her would have made me significantly LESS likely to stop for her, not more. Especially if I was a 6000-year-old immortal being who knew that demons were real.

I'm just saying.

Today Crowley had to reassure the Bentley that the only reason they were taking the train was because Aziraphale loved trains, and in-turn, that Aziraphale did not love trains more than the Bentley, they just both believed it should get to have a break once in a while.

we need a universal grocery classification system like the dewey decimal to aid in shelving, so i don’t have to figure out whether you think maple syrup goes with the sauces, breakfast foods, jams, or condiments

[dee-morris]

If they don't kiss passionately I'm going to be furious.

When Deadpool is aiming at Wolverine's forehead and Logan just smirks and rests his forehead against the gun?! Oh my god?!

PLEASE DO NOT TAG OR SEND TO NEIL GAIMAN

I made you a gift!

It's a cheesy bumpersticker style nudge to STOP SENDING NEIL GAIMAN

- fan therories about season 2/3

- your own theories about season 2/3

- other people's theories about season 2/3 (ESPECIALLY WITHOUT PERMISSION)

- your wants for season three

- things you don't want for season three (other people might want that!)

- YOUR FAN FICTIONS OR FAN ART

He has repeatedly asked not to bring these things to him. And even though his answers can be funny it can get him into legal trouble if what ends up in the show is similar to fan art/fics/creations

Please! Stop!

Bonus

Feel free to spread these around I'm so tired of the second hand embarrassment

[dee-morris]

It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?

[dee-morris]

Whenever this comes up in conversation I like to mention that king cobras indicate readiness by head butting the female.

They booped noses, that should count. 😂

Imagine the amount of Good Omens relationship drama that could have been avoided with Aziraphale conducting one simple Google search and finding undeniable proof that Crowley is interested in him.

Crowley rubs his chin while watching Aziraphale, walks in a suspiciously undulating way, circles around his angel protectively, pushes and nudges him.

The biting part though? Remains to be seen.

Good Omens S3 plot leaked

[dee-morris]

I can drive anywhere I want to, and last week I got a pet frog and nobody stopped me. Being an adult is the shit.

Hey btw I don't know who needs to hear this, but those adults telling you that your teen years are the best years of your life? Yeah I don't know what the hell they're smoking, either. I'm 29 and every once in a while I just sit here and think "man, it sure sucked to be 14. Glad I never have to do that again."

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

If you're assigned female, people will tell you from BIRTH that your life ends at 30 and you'll be alone forever and your eggs start to die and blah blah blah, and here's a fun little fact: If everyone knew how POWERFUL AND GIVING OF ZERO FUCKS you become in your thirties and forties, holy hell. The system cannot survive without complicity, so they need to convince people who are at the threshold of maximum personal strength that they are worthless bc they don't have the curves of a teenager anymore.

Just moisturize and wear sunscreen, and the world is your oyster.

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

(The Washington Post)

For those who don't know, the US Supreme Court just ruled that states are allowed to enforce trans healthcare for minors. Undoubtedly, this will trigger a wave of other states that either hope to pass or have already passed policies to do the same. This is going to kill children, and harm more in long-lasting ways.

So, how can you help?

FUCKING VOTE. I don't care if you don't like Biden, he's not the only one on the ballot. Vote representatives into your city council who will turn our city into a sanctuary city. Vote for governors and state reps who will, even if they don't pass new protections, oppose bans being pushed through. Chsllenge and kick out conservative incumbents who are banking on their races being obscure enough for people to not vote in.

Anyone telling you voting is useless is either lying to you or grossly uninformed and think saying this is the edgy new take that will make them look hip and informed. Yes, the system is broken. But short of burning the whole thing to the ground (which personally I'm not a fan of as I quite enjoy having like. Roads and the FDA) what we can do is to change it for the better, by starting with the local races and working our way up.
