BRO THEY ARE LITERALLY VOICED BY THEIR REAL LIFE LOOKALIKES I LOVE NIMONA SM
But it *could* be Adam being stalked metaphorically and literally by his dual nature as the Antichrist. If we go with that interpretation, only flaw would be false advertising when the readers find out he's not the main character.
Hi Neil! This is one of the old french covers for good omens. I was just wondering if you had, say, ANY idea of what happened in the illustrator's brain?
I am pretty certain the illustrator has painted a cover to a completely different book, and that that cover has been bought cheaply to reuse by J'ai Lu.
What are you talking about? These are high art
I could make serious fanart
Or I could make some of the stupidest shit anyone has ever seen
You'll never take me alive!!

I blame the movies we watched growing up framing black widows, tarantulas, and even just regular spiders as dangerous and unsettling
You know what’s wild? I hear people all the time talking about how they’ve been bitten by spiders. And the truth is that spider bites are so incredibly rare, constantly misdiagnosed. Do your research or ask anyone who studies them. Spiders are simply not out here biting people.
But what’s even more amazing is how adamant people are about seeing spiders as biting people when you know who does bite people? All the time? Ants. Why do people not fear ants? But this fantasy of spiders biting them gives them severe avoidance instincts. Like have you ever sat on concrete. Or in grass. Or outside at all ever? Ants are biting you. That little pinch you felt under your thigh? That’s some little fuckers mouthpieces grabbing your leg my dude.
It just doesn’t make sense to me? Why do people fear spiders but not ants? When ants are so much more likely to walk on your person than spiders, and in many cases will bite you if you don’t know they’re on you. Someone explains this to me. And don’t say spiders are bigger and creepier bc have you seen bullet ants
This is not to throw shade on ants. I think ants are fantastic and beautiful little guys. But seriously why are we demonizing spiders when ants are literally sitting right next to them biting u
Facts.
Reblog if you believe trans rights are human rights.
I love the thought that in two, maybe three hundred years when the Internet, Neil Gaiman, and Larry Welz are a distant hazy memory, The Innkeeper's Soul will be told with the same folktale reverence around fires as Stingy Jack O'Lantern and the darker versions of Grimm's Fairy Tales: an amusing fable about the power of human love trumping the petty squabbles of Heaven and Hell
I don't expect this one to get answered, but a friend who I recently introduced your work to asked, and I was curious:
Have you ever dabbled in writing erotica, or possibly better termed, smut? Maybe under a pseudonym?
Given the wide breadth of topics you've written about, and given that most artists of any type tend to dabble at least a little, I would guess that the answer is yes, just curious if any of it ever got published anywhere?
Thank you for your time, good sir. I've been a fan almost as long as you've been writing. Still looking for a copy of The First Four Years of the Fab Five for less than a billion dollars, and looking for a replacement for my stolen (and signed, in person, long ago) copy of Don't Panic.
There's a story called "Tastings" in Smoke and Mirrors, and a few bits of American Gods, but that's all I can think of so far.
And a finger on the monkey's paw curls!!
MAYA PYRRHA OMFG AND THEY FINALLY PUT MAYA OZPIN TO USE
Okay... but y'all, as dark as it was... CRWBY could have made it so much darker
They could have cut up and bruised Ruby's face after her Aura broke and she took all that physical abuse, especially with Ozpin brutally caning her like an abusive father or uncle
We could have heard squishing and crunching noises when Neo stomped on Little
They could have painfully, heartwrenchingly, drawn out Ruby's suicide with the poison making her jerk and choke and dribble bile in a disturbing parallel to IRL suicide by ODing or drinking bleach/antifreeze
They would have been forced to up the maturity rating if they did, so they didn't, but can you imagine...?
EDIT: And oh dear... how could I forget all the rape imagery around the Curious Cat standing on top of Ruby, penetrating and violating and dominating her in multiple meanings of those words at once. They could have made it so much worse by having the Cat purring, nuzzling, and licking Ruby as they brag about the act of being inside and a part of her, how much they will enjoy it...
I am not okay...
The big bad of Final Fantasy XV
A man whose flawless charming and suave troll personality is belied by the sheer *tragedy* of cosmic hell he got put thru that its a miracle he can even fake a smile
Unfortunately, Jaune's now in the camp of cosmic plaything.....I believe I hear sauve man named Ardyn Izunia welcome him into the group.
Who the shit is that
King Soopers is strictly Colorado, Trader Joe's are scattered all over more or less randomly in the US
I still have one question is king soopers and trader joes strictly in Colorado or are they other places because this has been bugging me literally my entire life
I have never heard of a ptarmigon before, and if someone had described what it looked and sounded like I would have thought they were pulling my leg or describing a funny local cryptid. Knowing that this funny little bird with the angry red eyebrows that makes croaky "oh wow" sounds exists adds that much more brightness to my life

Why does Varys giggle a lot
The in-universe reason: to appear non-threatening.
The George R. R. Martin reason: villains have quirky laughs.
"I don't think it's possible to wipeout House Frey. There's a Frey in every corner of the planet."
Then good thing they won't have to be. Old Walder's double dealing and treachery will follow them all so terribly that whatever descendants he has left will either forswear their relation at any cost, or cut their throats themselves rather than live as Freys. Maybe some of them will even take up some manner of atonement for the family crimes, but I won't hold my breath.
Yo! I sumbled across a blog post cheering Tywin and the red wedding, and someone commented this(wendynerdwrites), i thought wait a goddam minute!:
"My fantasy is that Guest Right is eventually restored with one caveat - no Lannisters. The Boltons and freys are going extinct. But the Lannisters will survive with generatons of being ousted from negotiations, parlays, state and court events, all diplomacy and as a result, their stock dwindles to near nothingness. Their .ane becomes a punchline. They have Casterly Rock taken from them and they can't even fight or appeap because they are ineligible to negotiate the end of any rebellion they might attempt. They are the new house Hollard. All thanks to Tywin."
This the true ending of Tyrion, the only surviving Lannister and Tywin 2.0! This. is. karma. This is everything that they fear even Tyrion. 🤣
As fun of an idea as that is, "peace except Lannisters" isn't real peace, and I don't think the author would write an ending where future generations are paying for the crimes of their ancestors indefinitely.
Side note, I don't think it's possible to wipeout House Frey. There's a Frey in every corner of the planet. Lol
Okay I would never smoke but they Did kinda go off with the aesthetics
That is more or less *exactly* what he is.

What is your favorite meal or food description? Your answers are always excellent and I adore your tumblr
Favourite description of an individual dish?
The beer was brown, the bread black, the stew a creamy white. She served it in a trencher hollowed out of a stale loaf. It was thick with leeks, carrots, barley, and turnips white and yellow, along with clams and chunks of cod and crabmeat, swimming in a stock of heavy cream and butter. It was the sort of stew that warmed a man right down to his bones, just the thing for a wet, cold night.
Davos I, ADWD
This is a description written with love. I want to try a few spoonfuls of this! And I don't even like cream-based stock!
Little bit of column A, little bit of Column B?
My take/interpretation: After his gaming career went down the tubes, he would have needed to "rebrand", and likely took it too far in the opposite direction, and a mixture of bitterness and self loathing made him believe in the rhetoric he'd been parroting.
Biggest roadblock though? He genuinely respects/fears his mother, and she likely gives him reality checks every now and then on what a tool he is being.
I have a question abt the Glass Onion specifically Duke’s character.
Is he a men’s right activist bc he wants money and fame or is he in it because he believes in it like genuinely.
I assumed the first bc when he says anything to his mom, his mom smacks the shit out of him, and he apologizes.
And it calls right back to her very first scene: does she solve this intricate, multilayered, 180+ IQ, gigabrain, 5head puzzle by slowly, carefully puzzling it out step by step, "earning" the invitation inside and "proving" her intelligence and thus "deserving" to be the deuteragonist who is Bron's ultimate downfal?
Nah. She smashes it to pieces with a hammer.
Will never get over that bit of Glass Onion where Miles foreshadows Helen ripping down his empire in that stupid little disruptor speech.
If you wanna shake things up, start by breaking something small (the vases and statues)...Everybody gets excited because you are busting things up that everyone wanted broken anyway (the others join in)...will you break more things (the statue with the crossbow) and bigger things (the glass piano that might have belonged to Liberace, the house)...will you break the thing that nobody wants you to break (the Mona Lisa)...they'll tell you to stop...because nobody wants you to break the system itself. But that is true disruption. That is what unites this group ("I saw him burn the napkin").
Someone else, can't find where or who, pointed out that Slowik is definitely the kind to know *everything* about his regulars, so knew the Tech Bros. were bullshitting but he and his crew committed to the bit anyway for the jollies. So you are on the mark about the whole cake analysis
I just saw The Menu and I want to talk about this fucking cake. (Spoilers)
I'm curious if it's intentional. This cake looks kinda amature. It's a minimalist fondant cake with a sugar bowl slapped on top. It's straight up Pinterest material. It's something an experienced homebaker could pull off with practice. And it's not perfect. The cake is tapered at the top and the fondant is sloppy.
It's not something that would be served at a place even with a fraction of prestige as Hawthorne.
To me, that cake represents the trickle down of the innovations that Chefs like Slowik have to keep inventing to stay relevant. That's why he invites his Lilian to the dinner and why he plans on killing her. If he isn't constantly surpassing her increasing standards then she can write a story about how far Chef Slowik has fallen and gain more prestige.
Avant Garde trends always changes to be adopted by the masses. It's the nature of art.
Another example is the trend of servers hitting or smashing food as is it served before the guest can start eating. (Example starts at 1:47)
That has turned into restaurants charging $25 for a chocolate pinata that guests break themselves at their table.
They serve a cake that represents their art being changed to be more attainable (which is not a bad thing, mind you. It's always going to happen). Most people would have fun smashing a chocolate pinata, but it's something that the people attending that dinner would scoff at.
They want to be presented and served. They want a true experience, not simple food or fun.
A cake with all of that meaning is served before a dish that aimed to elevate a simple, common dish to an absurd degree. It's the only way people like the guests would consume a dish that simple and beloved.
That is, if the cake was intentionally made to represent that. If not, I kinda look like a fool.
and then they disposed of all their drugs and had a good night sleep and woke up and got all their stuff in order and put the money in a safe place, checked into rehab and got clean, and moved to some place far away and Jane became a well known local artist and they both lived out their lives and never heard from walter white (name not capitalized because I don't respect him) and had a nice quiet house. maybe Jane painted their walls. and everything was fine and they both got therapy and came to terms with their past and were together.
Reblogging again even though I already receive a blessing the last go round
Same energy
The funniest thing about the NFL's "End Racism" end zone logos (which they put in post 2020 BLM protests instead of actually doing anything) is that every now and then you have a shot that just says "RACISM" in big, bold letters across the screen.
In ultimate grown-up move, Musk will make his own phone if he has to
Nehal Malik for iPhone in Canada:
Elon Musk said on Friday afternoon that he will “make an alternative phone” if Apple or Google decide to kick Twitter off the App Store or Play Store, their respective mobile app marketplaces.
This is definitely something a child would say if they didn't get their way.
