Tw for Neil Gaiman talk, celebrity worship is a really bad idea, but one we (including me) fall into.

Is it really right to just carry on as before and pretend that nothing has happened?
Hiya. No.
I think everyone needs to think whether they are capable of separating the fandom and Neil Gaiman.
I could tell you to consider that Good Omens is also Terry Pratchett, David Tennant, Michael Sheen, all the people from cast and crew and people connected with various other editions.
But the thing is, that fandom are fans. It is all those wonderful people making fanart, fanfics, videos and all kinds of impossibly brilliant fanworks. It is people meeting each other whether in person or virtually and admiring each other cosplays, telling each other that they see Good Omens references in real life everywhere and being supportive of each other.
The first Ineffable Con was in 2019 in UK and I wasn't able to visit and in the following years it was (because of covid and to be internationally accessible) only online - this year being the first one it its hybrid form. I was there in person and met dozens of absolutely wonderful people. And that helped me with decision to stay in the fandom.
So no, don't pretend nothing has happened, but it doesn't mean that you have to leave the fandom - a place that you may consider your safe space - either.❤

If you don't know what I am talking about or are still in shock... I've been in shock for weeks, trying to hope that for some reason the Neil Gaiman allegations of sexual assaults are a bad dream, a misunderstanding, a conspiracy or me just being kidnapped by aliens and returned to a wrong kind of reality. So it took me a month before I was able to gather myself to scourge the internet for info. Unfortunately all points to that yes, Neil Gaiman is a sexual predator. Using his fame to lure in young women or groom them, manipulate, use and hurt them and using is money and connections to avoid any consequences. It all points to that his bumbling funny persona is actually a front and he is actually a very smart man, using his charisma and eloquence to persuade people of all kinds of things, posing as a feminist and ally so it would be harder to speak against him. Yes, it fucking sucks.
Anyway, this is a good page to catch up on the things.

There was an interesting thread on Bluesky dissecting Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's relationship
TL:DR - It seems like Gaiman has been exaggerating the level of closeness between them for YEARS

the part that gets to me about the not good enough pjo edits is not even the “always an angel never a god” line. no its the “idk why i am the way i am”
like fUCK. thats the quintessential question that plagues neurodivergent kids isnt it? one full of frustration and apology, saying i'm sorry i'm like this idk why i am i would change if i could

IMAGINE you're Rose Noble for a second. You're a teenage trans girl living in London. LONDON. You have a little etsy shop. Your mum is cool! At least, she's cool about the trans thing so that's great.
Then a space adventure happens. Your mum is saying things like "because we (you and her) are women we know how to let go". Sure. Whatever. Bit gender essentialist but you'll let it slide because Specifically the thing you're letting go of is your GENETIC TIME LORD TARDIS MEMORIES? Which you have apparently…. and your mum's saying all this to her friend. Her friend the "male presenting timelord". The "male presenting" timelord who you…….know all about now?
Because you have genetic timelord TARDIS memories. Genetic timelord TARDIS memories…..which are the reason you chose your name. And your work room layout. And the inspiration behind most of your etsy products. Really, now you think about it … a lot of your personality is …genetic timelord TARDIS memories………………which you have just let go …………….whats uppp😬😬😬

in the amelia pond au, amelia’s aunt does still send her to therapy between doctor adventures, but since amelia is now secure in the fact that he’s Definitely Real since both rory and mels have also met him and because she lost a tooth last week from tripping on the stairs of the tardis, she doesn’t bite any therapists this time around. and besides, her therapist is a very funny lady. she reminds amelia of her doctor, with how her voice will flip and jump in volume and accent and tone on a whim, with how she’ll talk to amelia like they’re conspiring together. she keeps the pictures amelia draws of the doctor and their adventures for her, even hangs one or two on the walls. she listens very intently to every detail, which no adults in amelia’s life do save the doctor himself and river song, whenever she’s around. and best of all, whenever she tells amelia’s aunt that amelia is doing just fine, don’t you worry, she’ll grow out of this, she winks at amelia so that amelia will know her therapist is only playing along to wave away her aunt’s suspicion.
it is a little odd, though, that she insists on only being called Missy. but amelia is quite used to odd by now.

thinking about how the memory tardis had one piece of rose in it, her missing poster, and how that is representative of rose's narrative, she's missing... there are pieces of all the other doctors, of yaz, of river, but rose's thing isn't the jacket donna found, isn't some sort of actual rose, but is literally just her missing poster, because even to the memory tardis, to the doctor, she is missing. where is she? have you seen rose tyler?
