One time, I was on Coronado Island during SDCC and saw you. It's probably been 12-15 years now. Since that day, sometimes when I feel out of place because maybe my style or vibe doesn't match the crowd I'm in, I think, "Stop! Be as comfortable and confident as Neil Gaiman walking around wearing all black in the California sunshine!"

This sounds very wise. I long ago learned I'm more comfortable feeling like me.

wait, even when it's very hot? XD

[neil-gaiman]

Sometimes you have to be hot in order to be cool.

[lesbian-jack-barnabas]

don’t ask because i don’t know either honestly

i've started listening to scp: find us alive and one thing i love is just how Doug Eiffel coded Dr. Harley is. I'd make a venn diagram if I didn't think they'd overlap more often than not.

Can everyone who reads this PLEASE reblog it?!?!?  Libraries literally saved my life as a child!

Being abused at home, bullied at school and lost in the world, the library and all the books I could escape to the most amazing worlds, kept me alive!

I would walk to the library, and spend all day, from 10 am to 9 pm reading there!! I got special awards for how many books I read, I wrote little blurbs on why i loved the books (probably why I love to BETA and do ARCs) 

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Just hit the green arrows and the reblog!!!

As a 50 year old woman, the library offers me so much. Digital art pads to borrow, 3D printing, book clubs that are face to face (yeah, the introvert likes face to face because a moderator will stomp on anyone getting snarky)

New books in LARGE PRINT! I’m visually challenged and as much as I love my kindle, The feel of a real book in my hands will always be a beloved feeling!

Our library also has quarterly books sales of almost free books!! For 5$USD we get in a day early and can buy as many as we want. Anyone else has to wait and there is a limit for the first 2 days.

Also many, many libraries have inter library loan(it may be called something different). This means if they don’t have the item you want, they can get it for you. This may include photocopy/pdf of articles. This can also include along with books and DVDs, microfilm/fiche which is also a huge resource. Check around for libraries that are listed as depositories if you want to look at government documents.

Remember that many colleges and universities have open stacks for the public. You will likely have to pay a membership fee but you will get to stuff.

I love the library ☺

[icycove]

The library was one of my favorite places to go as a kid and I still live to go and just. Sit and read. Or do homework. The university I’m at has a massive 8-story one I love to just wonder around in~ Great places

[jaks21]

Libraries are amazing places, we need to protect them to ensure their continued existence.

[earhartsease]

I used to wander about the fiction section in my local library, and choose books with the most interesting titles - I discovered two amazing authors that way

[vaginadude]

If you feel disconnected from your local community & want to find ways to get involved, seriously consider spending some time at the library. Go to some events! Organize a reading group!

[mathcat345]

Support your libraries!

Read banned books!

People who don’t learn can be more easily controlled and told what to think!

Mr Gaiman what is your favorite ice cream flavor?

I think the ritual of stabbing Julius Caesar on the Ides of March is an important Tumblr tradition that needs to be maintained for coming generations.

[neil-gaiman]

How do you feel about frogs?

Positive.

[neil-gaiman]

Hi Gothfather Neil, can you please share a positive quote for those of us who are at rock bottom right now?

This, too, will pass.

[benergy-time]

my friend just visited his grandma and found this on her wall 😭

SHE FRAMED THR KISS SCENE IM CRYING

(she also called David tennet a “dilf”)

[neil-gaiman]

Neil I think you owe us an apology dance

I'm not sorry.

[neil-gaiman]

The Captions Are Fixed!

GOOD NEWS! Sarah-Kate Fenelon has worked very hard (thank you Sarah-Kate) and the Amazon engines have rolled, and if you watch Good Omens S2 with the closed captions on you should be in for a pleasant surprise.

If you've seen it before with closed captions, I'd watch it again.

(I just watched 10 minutes from episode 5, and every line was on the money.)

[mothercain-deactivated20231124]

why dont you try making up a delusion or private world and go live in it and maybe you’ll calm down 

[neil-gaiman]

hey neil!!

the historical flashbacks are some of my favorite scenes in season 1 and season 2 of good omens, so i was wondering if there were any time periods you’d really like to portray aziraphale and crowley in that you haven’t already???

Quite a few. Ones that we had planned as possible for Season 2 (that either didn't get written or didn't get filmed) included a Wild West one, a 15th century Papal one, an Arabian Nights one, and a 1960s American one with Crowley and Aziraphale female presenting. And we have the whole of human history as a canvas. But for now the ones you've got are all.

[neil-gaiman]

Hi Neil!

I see the numbers slipping for Good Omens recently and I fear that people are forgetting that the time to rewatch in order to have s3 is still ongoing I believe.

do you think potentially reminding fans to watch/ask others to watch again would be worthwhile?

Honestly I'd rather people persuaded their friends and families and interested acquaintances to watch the show, than that they watched it over and over. It means more to Amazon and this to the show if new people come and watch Season 1 and then watch Season 2 than it does people rewatching it.

[neil-gaiman]

Hello, Mr Gaiman)

I do know you have too many messages right now. And it might seem really insignificant. But, my 12 y.o. son, a war refugee and a domestic abuse survivor, just saw the ending of the Season 2, and is crying hard, saying that it’s all wrong, and it shouldn’t be like that, because Crowley and Aziraphale love each other. I beg you, please, would you find a couple of kind words just to help me soothe him?

Tell him that it will all be all right in the end, and that we are not yet at the end.
