#interested in the mental gymnastics folks have done to justify still enjoying good omens these days#look man. you can like the book. just don't put money in gaiman's pocket#i'm interested in the 'pratchett wrote 70% of the book' statistic but that's bc i had a years long question#of why i liked good omens but never particularly liked gaiman's solo work#like it's always been a pratchett book to me? but that doesn't mean we should do gymnastics to put pratchett on gaiman's vacant pedestal#i feel gouche trotting out the 'not really loving gaiman' bit bc i know people keep doing that as a reaction#but i mean i have found years-old tweets i made where i was disappointed i disliked American Gods#i'd wanted to sell off my copy for years to make room but i felt too sentimental to do that#i like adaptations i guess. that counts as co-authorship#anyway we don't have to do the 'good omens was written by terry and no one else/hatsune miku' bit. bad people can make good art#sit with it and consider supporting an assault-survivor charity if you can.#i found out about the situation last year but read the bighuge article now to see the women's perspective. sickening. good journalism though
