#Why is the TP estate saying that the movie'd complete “Terry's vision for the story” if he didn't want any posthumous works published then?

I just remembered an ask from someone working with dementia patients that NG answered some days before the allegations came out, implying he had been spending some time with Terry Pratchett, when his illness was already pretty advanced. It struck me as a weirdly cheesy, out of touch and exploitative answer, but I shut that train of thought because I thought "who am I to judge people I don't know?". It did strike me as odd, though.

Here it is, found it because I remembered it had the word "porch" in it. He didn't exactly mention Terry, who did have Parkinson though, and many people in the tags of that post tagged it as Terry Pratchett, so the intent was pretty clear and manipulative. In light of all the recent revelations I have my doubts that the encounter NG described actually happened. Maybe he was talking about another friend with Parkinson, but the fact that he didn't correct the people who thought he was talking about Terry is bad enough. The fact that he very probably tried to make people think he was still friends with Terry even in his last days is horrible. (That letter in the 1st image, I'd never read that passage (or maybe I have but deleted it from memory), it does sound very cheesy, especially in hindsight. I also never realized this Good Omens request was made on a deathbed? Why would he be thinking about a tv show on his death bed, instead of spending his last days with his family?) (Also the "I know you're busy but make this last dying wish of this old man true!", what the actual frack. NG was trying to depict himself as this magnanimous philanthropist who is sooo busy yet he still found the time to embark in the years-long, remunerative endeavor of making the GO series 2 and 3, just because of his super-friend's "last dying wish". He even found enough time to go and read with him on the porch of his home, what a marvelous beacon of humanity!!! I could gag. The manipulation is becoming so evident now.)

There was an interesting thread on Bluesky dissecting Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's relationship

TL:DR - It seems like Gaiman has been exaggerating the level of closeness between them for YEARS
