Hullo! Just wanted to let you guys know that I am working on a thing for Dazaiâs birthday, but I unexpectedly ended up being a makeshift scarecrow today so itâll be a bit delayed lol
Ok so basically, there are these dang birds trying to build nests in the roof-vents above my roommateâs window, and they are VERY loud and have been depriving her of sleep, but we canât currently hire anyone to come and cover up the holes that theyâre getting into.
Thus, after a particularly bad night my roommate suffered through, today I decided to experiment! And I discovered that the birds do not like it if I sway and dance in the window. It scares them off!
So I then spent a large chunk of today doing this to try to dissuade them:
I am a living scarecrow now
(Side note: these are an invasive species of bird with a booming population, so donât worry, they absolutely do not need to build nests in this exact spot alskdjfjf)
Also, thankfully we may have already figured out an alternative! We hung things in the window that will move in the breeze, fingers crossed that that will work just as well so I wonât have to keep dancing in the window all the time lol
I have been rewatching the whole series a unhealthy amount of times and I suddenly had the idea to make a Ivantill painting based on "The Kiss" from Klimt. And this happened.
I had to mix Black Sorrow and Cure together to make shit worse. Wonderful
This was very experimental and I always forget to post my drawing here. So there you go.
Honestly, I love the idea of a vampire who only drinks blood taken from blood banks and hospitals, because it so beautifully encompasses someone who's more concerned with the vibes of something than the actual impact of it.
Drinking from someone on the street, barring some other condition they may have, isn't likely to kill them unless you gorge yourself. Taking blood packs? There's always a shortage of blood, and having even less of it runs the very real risk of getting someone killed in a way that is wholly out of your control once you've sipped on that blood. Someone you can't assure the innocence or guilt of, if you're the type of person who cares about that.
Despite that, in popular stuff, I often see discussions of drinking from a blood bank being somehow better or preferable, and yeah. No. The only thing it does is make you feel better while doing more harm, because of that degree of removal. You're effectively drinking blood from someone on the cusp of hypovolemic shock, but since it's not straight from the tap, some people seem to think it's better.
I think of it as a self-control issue tbh. Like, if there is a freshly baked apple pie in front of a starving person and they just can't help but devour it whole. If it's a stale piece of bread - they would also eat it all
1984, is the first time Neil Gaiman released a book.Â
In 1985, he got married and started his career as a comic book writer and in 1986, he assaulted Julia Hobsbawm.
This took place in Chalk Farm, London, where he forcibly kissed her and shoved her down on the sofa at her own studio flat before she escaped. According to The Crown Prosecution Service, âsexual assault is where one person intentionally touches another person sexually without their consent. The touching can be done with any part of the body or with an object.â In her own words, she described it as âan aggressive, unwanted passâ and that she still remembers it even now.Â
Through 1987 and 2002 he progressed his career and published the famous book Coraline. A new year happens and he is in his early-forties and is thriving off of the success of his several money-making works, at a book signing event in Sarasota, Florida. There he hits it off with a young 18 year old (K) and they start dating. Two years later, in 2005, with two more awards under his belt, he forcibly penetrated that young twenty year old who told him not to because of a painful infection.
After another two years, he and his first wife divorced.
It's 2012, five years later and one year into a new marriage and at another book signing, Neil, age 52, immediately assaulted Claire (pseudonym) with a non-consensual kiss. Throughout keeping contact Neil had escalated this with video and phone calls that had a heavy sexual connotation where he appeared to either be naked or tried to instigate something. All of this accumulated into sexually assaulting her on a tour bus. Neilâs contact with her lasted until 2014 where he had promptly accused her in a text message that she had used him for sex.
Within the same year, Neil had enough money to buy a property, and met Caroline Wallner, 55, and her at-the time current husband. With a deal to do odd jobs for Neil and his wife to live there until she could own a five-acre plot, it wasnât long before things turned sour. A divorce in 2017 sent everything spiraling, with her former husband fired, she in a once financially stable position, was now completely dependent on Neil Gaiman who used that to his advantage. Using her lack of financial stability to get himself sexual favors, he coerced her into a sexual-only, notably uninformed BDSM-entering territory while she was emotionally vulnerable, not accepting denials. This lasted until the summer of 2021, and in December of that year she and him went to court, what awaited her was $275k of compensation and a non-disclosure agreement (nda).
It wouldnât take long for another woman to experience Neil Gaimanâs repeated offenses as well because in February of 2022, Scarlett (a pseudonym), age 23, a newly hired nanny, was sexually assaulted in the bathtub at his house. Neil, age 61, climbed into the bathtub with her and coerced her into having sexual relations. He too, in his coercion of her, made her financially dependent on him and brought BDSM elements to an inexperienced young woman who could not say no.
Since July 3rd of this year, 2024, five women have come out with sexual assault allegations aimed at Neil Gaiman. They all have several things in common with each other: either being young and naive, a fan of his, or put in a vulnerable spot financially or emotionally. Throughout the years and according to the stories, Neil progressively gets more bold and aggressive in his attempts for sexual gain. There are many more stories out there and whispers on the internet of how predatory Neil Gaiman has been in the industry. However, focusing on the five women who came out to speak and pushing their voice is an important part of the discussion.
Staying silent will only protect his peace.

I'm so scared season 3 is going to be canceled because of Neil. I can see both DT and MS dropping out cuz of this. Do you think we should be worried?
Iâll be honest with you here: i have no idea how to answer this ask. I know, of course, there is a correct answer: the number one priority right now is making sure women, and especially young fans, are safe. No television show is more important than that. That is a fact.
But of course i also understand the anxiety youâre feeling. Good omens is important to you, as it is to me. Do i think there is a possibility it might get cancelled? Yes. That would be a pity for all the hundreds of people not involved in any misconduct, who worked on this show.
But i also accept that there is nothing i can do about it. The decision to cancel or not is way out of my control. Therefore any worries i might have about that, would only be harming me.
Most of all, i am a big fan of fans and fandom. I have full confidence that even if a third season never gets made, there will be plenty of fics to give aziraphale and crowley the happy ending they deserve. Because there already are.
