Midnight Pals: Patience
Thomas Disch: neil in the good omens game, is there a way to escape the dungeon without using the wizard's key?
Neil Gaiman: ah! a very good question!
Clive Barker: what? that's a terrible question
Gaiman: ah but there are NO bad questions, clive
Gaiman: curiosity is the rain that waters the seed of knowledge
Debbie Dadey: um excuse me sir neil gaiman but in Good Omens S2E42 aziraphale is shown performing the musubi dachi stance, but everyone knows that angels don't know karate
Dadey:[pushing glasses up nose] i sure hope someone was fired for THAT blunder
Gaiman: ah! a fine observation, thank you for sharing!
Gaiman: so great to communicate with astute readers!
Gaiman: [putting gold star sticker on Dadey's forehead] i'm giving you a gold star for that
Gaiman: in fact
Gaiman: you all get gold stars!
Koontz: oo! i want a gold star
Gaiman: [putting gold star sticker on Koontz's forehead] and so you shall!
King: incredible! nothing flusters him!
Poe: he's unflappable
King: like the world's most patient kindergarten teacher
Barker: no way, i don't buy it
Barker: nobody's THAT patient
Barker: i bet i could get him to snap
Poe: clive
Barker: hey neil i've got a question
Gaiman: yes?
Barker: actually
Barker:this is more of a comment than a question
Gaiman: [sweating, veins in neck pulsing] ah yes, go on
Poe: clive that's going too far
Neil Gaiman: you see dean
Gaiman: you can see anything, do anything
Gaiman: BE anything
Gaiman: without ever leaving home!
Dean Koontz: wowwww
Gaiman: all you have to do is use your super power
Koontz: my super power??
Gaiman: yes
Gaiman: it's called
Gaiman: IMAGINATION!!
Ray Bradbury: it was many years yonder when the open spaces were open and the blue skies were blue, and soda pop cost just a nickel and if you didn't have a nickel a smile would do, when you could see marshmallow dragons and candy corn castles in the clouds and you could do it all with the power of
Dean Koontz: oh yeah imagination, i already know that
Bradbury: and- what
Koontz: yeah, neil gaiman told me
Bradbury:
Ray Bradbury: listen neil i hear you've been going around extolling the power of imagination
Neil Gaiman: ah imagination! the poor man's wealth, the prisoner's release-
Bradbury: zip it bud
Bradbury: there's ONE dream weaver in this town and that's me
Bradbury: the limitless vista of a child's imagination ain't big enough for the both of us!!!
Bradbury: i have more child-like whimsy in my little finger, gaiman!
Bradbury: and i will use it to paint a rainbow of nostalgic vibes that will have you crying!
Bradbury: come at me, neil!! i'll make your childhood fuckin' magical!
Gaiman: wonderful, brilliant! just an excellent threat
Gaiman: the craftsmanship of it was sublime, you should be very proud, ray
Bradbury:
Bradbury: are you
Bradbury: are you being sarcastic?
Poe: i don't think he knows how
Bradbury: you're so genuine, i can't stay mad at you
Gaiman: perhaps, ray, there is room in the world of imagination for the both of us
Gaiman: in fact, maybe there's room for ALL who seek to fly on the wings of a shared dream!

The best writer?
Dedicated to @bitterkarella and taken a bit of... okay, a LOT of tone from their works. Check them out!
A dark room, with robed figures standing around, uneasily shifting their weight as their leader rises.
JKR: Hello children… I am the bessst author all around, they sssay, and it isss true.
?: Ehem, excuse me, sorry, coming thru. Hello, everyone. Allow me to introduce myself. I am The Bard.
JKR:
William Shakespeare: You may know my tales. I know you do, you happily cribbed from some.
JKR: I ssaid I am the bessst children'sss author…
?: Oh, sorry, pardon for intruding. Hi. Erich Kästner. You may know me as the man who wrote Emil and the Detectives.
JKR: Britisssh author, asss I sssaid…
?: Pardon me for interrupting, I am A. A. Milne. I, well, can't help to notice what you said, and how it was, well, not so truthful.
JKR: Asss I sssaid, I am the bessst adult human female author all-
?: Oh, excuse me. Beatrix Potter, greetings everyone. So, I have heard that you got my name in your little story?
JKR: …I never even heard of you.
Beatrix Potter: Now that would be quite a feat, when almost every British child, especially from your background, grew up with Peter Rabbit… And I made research on fungi.
JKR: Mosssst prolific writer of all timesss!
The darkness near them falls asunder and the sound of a typewriter can be heard. As she turns, she sees a man, sitting on a throne made of books, typing with no real pause.
?: Hello all. Isaac Asimov. I don't think I got to say more.
JKR: I don't know you.
Asimov: Then you never opened a sci-fi book from the past 80 years. Nor any chemistry book worth its salt. Speaking of, did you finally checked some of the biology books referencing me, or are you still making up things?
Jkr: …mossst versssatile-
?: Oh, pardon me, Enid Blyton. You may know me as the one who gave the world Noddy, the Famous Five and the Naughty Girl series.
JKR: You write about naughty girlsss? Like a male would?
?: Oh, sorry. I have to say, you misunderstand what she meant by that word. Oh, where are my manners? Just call me Mr. Rogers, please.
JKR woke up, drenched in sweat. She brushed off a few hundred pounds off of herself, still sticky from the sweat, and grabbed her phone to go on eksh dot com. However, the parental lock was still on.

[Doodle request]: The club sitting around a campfire like they were The Midnight Society from "Are You Afraid of The Dark?"
I was struggling to make this request until I saw the cover and I was like "Lets just redraw it"
[Even if the pic of the cover I found online was crusty asf😭] it was quite a messy drawing actually but I kinda like it anyways at the same time that the request was fun to get out of the art block
I'm actually thinking about printing it and make it like a poster or something like that :P
[My bf says that Bill looks like he is gonna burn down the whole forest]

The 2020s series of Are You Afraid of the Dark? is so weird because it's still about a secret society of teenagers telling scary stories at midnight, but we never actually hear their stories, since the plot is about scary things that happen to them. Also, every season follows a different group of kids, each one of which is framed as the (singular) Midnight Society; and Sardo the Magic Shop owner is a real guy, and they keep having things from the 90s series, so it just creates the impression that there's this sort of weird, recursive Are You Afraid of the Dark? multiverse where everyone is telling stories about each other thinking that they are the real ones.

I finished The Midnight Club this week. There was a lot to love (great characters, 90s nostalgia, the stories, the house) but at the end I was disappointed that it wasn't a stand alone story but clearly was set up for a season 2. 🙄
Also, though I don't think I've read the original Christopher Pike novel, I loved that feel as a kid who loved that genre of book. Nevertheless, throughout I couldn't help but be reminded of some other 90s franchise...
