Here’s to 2023, a year of as many little courageous kindnesses as possible. ♥️

Hello Mr Gaiman, I'm watching Dead Boy Detectives and I'm enjoying it very much. But I've a grammar dilemma about the title, since English is not my first language.

Shouldn't it be "Dead Boys Detectives" ?

Thank you!

Think of “Dead boy” as a descriptive phrase, like “tall giraffe” or “Clever Lesbian”. The Clever Lesbian Detective Agency will send clever lesbians to investigate crimes, and the tall giraffe detective agency will send tall giraffes to your house to investigate mysteries.

okay i actually like agatha’s ending plot-wise for several reasons:

1) agatha becoming the thing her ex hates is 100% on brand

2) she very obviously is committed to learning everything she can about how to use her ghost abilities and being agatha, probably grabbing any other power she can too

3) she’s sticking close to the only person who’s managed to shove dead souls into new bodies, gee i wonder if that was part of the risk she calculated when deciding which of them should live

4) this truly sets up so many potential delicious agathario futures. if agatha stays a ghost they’re both in eternal forms now. they can chase each other forever

i do wish we’d gotten more rio in the finale. there’s some really good subtext in there; she gave agatha six years with nicky, during which he created the song that wound up giving her so many, many bodies. it would’ve been amazing to see rio with agatha and nicky, to see them as the family we all imagined. it would’ve been amazing to have at least one scene of agatha and rio’s relationship before things went bad

so yeah, there’s definitely things i wish we could’ve gotten, but overall i think it was excellent and clearly crafted with so much care

please remember that this is still marvel and disney. jac schaeffer and team didn’t have a choice about billy being introduced or leaving the series alive. they chose to subvert the tropes people are ranting about by having agatha choose a physical death on her own terms and in a way that leaves a ton of possibilities for how she can claw her way into more power

being an archaeologist in tumblr is so funny because I see so many text posts and go. Imperialism pre-dates capitalism. Rebellion against empires pre-dates capitalism. Money pre-dates capitalism. Social inequality pre-dates capitalism. Misogyny pre-dates capitalism. Wealth inequality pre-dates capitalism. Unilateral rule by oppressive rulers pre-dates capitalism. People’s dependence on their job for their survival pre-dates capitalism. Capitalism as an economic system is about 200-250 years old max but these problems are much, much older, and capitalism supports, entrenches, or exacerbates many of these problems… doesn’t mean it invented them and doesn’t mean they will simply cease to be problems After Capitalism.

“they’re shipping us” “TO WHERE?” Is extremely dorothy/rose coded oh my god it’s literally just them 😭😭😭

“No writing is wasted. Did you know that sourdough from San Francisco is leavened partly by a bacteria called lactobacillus sanfrancisensis? It is native to the soil there, and does not do well elsewhere. But any kitchen can become an ecosystem. If you bake a lot, your kitchen will become a happy home to wild yeasts, and all your bread will taste better. Even a failed loaf is not wasted. Likewise, cheese makers wash the dairy floor with whey. Tomato gardeners compost with rotten tomatoes. No writing is wasted: the words you can’t put in your book can wash the floor, live in the soil, lurk around in the air. They will make the next words better.”

why is everyone so nonchalant and unbothered….. what happened to real lovers I need obsession

just a heads up to my fellow writers out there that AO3 is currently fighting off bots commenting on people’s works to tell them that AO3 will delete their fics “due to the works being deprecated”, and the deletion will affect their accounts unless the authors delete the fics themselves first. IT IS A SCAM. AO3 will NOT delete your works. please do NOT fall for these bots!

I’ve been told the reason why these bots are doing this is due to copyright infringement issue where they’re trying to steal your works (possibly to train AI but this is just a guess) ‼️‼️‼️and once you deleted your fics, it will be either very difficult or impossible for you to claim ownership of your own fics when they were already deleted.‼️‼️‼️

a reminder that AO3 will never contact you through your comments section (in case they claim to be one of the moderators). AO3 will only contact you through your email address which you use to register your account, and it will be from AO3’s official handle. not some sketchy ass @

so if you get a comment telling you you should “delete your works to protect your account because AO3 is doing blah blah blah” report that comment. don’t delete your works.

PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAM.

AO3 IS NOT DELETING WORKS.

DO NOT DELETE YOUR WORKS JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE CLAIMS THEY KNOW SOMETHING.
