#kill neil fan

[bentnotbroken1fanfiction]

So you're telling me there was a 'fall of Neil Hargrove' event and I, the founder of the kill Neil Hargrove fanclub had no idea about it???!!!

I mean, my lack of being present in fandom is obviously the reason for this, but I am sorely disappointed that I missed it 😂

i was digging through old blogs and then flashbacked that ironic aspect of the fandom when the show was still airing, and tbh it was interesting how people who were biased against juan defended neil jordan from those who rightfully criticized him for disingenuously nerfing his character in his final ep by throwing juan's development (returning from spain as a shaped up and secure of his bastardy especially after becoming a father) completely out the window just to make him sabotage his relationships with his mother and sister beyond hope. he was suddenly portrayed in the worst light possible just to ensure that cesare's actions would appear somehow justified to the audience when he kills him. yet after the s4 script dropped the same people who had defended neil jordan at the time crashed out and became his most obnoxious haters for some of his writing choices for cesare and lucrezia's relationship (such as nerfing the incest and having cesare betray lucrezia which leads her to attempt to kill him). like they clearly selectively accepted questionable writing when it benefited the narrative they wanted to push then objected when similar writing choices affected the narratives they favored. meanwhile i was an unbiased fan who loved cesare and lucrezia's incestuous relationship as well as juan's character, and i didn't like how neil jordan diminished either of them. you just had to be there etc.

I don't think andrew would kill neil though like he loves him so much he loves neil more than he loves kevin.

I disagree personally! Not at that point in the books, anyway.

Andrew trusted Neil to take care of Kevin. Andrew’s deal with Kevin is to keep him safe from Riko. If Kevin ends up going to the nest, regardless of what happens to him there, that’s the ONE thing Andrew had to do. Don’t let Riko near him. Protect him from Riko.

He started trusting Neil after he protected Kevin from Riko at Kathy’s show and there was nothing Andrew could do - everything is for and about Kevin for him.

Then Andrew comes back from Easthaven and Kevin is dead, gone or injured because Neil didn’t hold up his end of the deal to keep him safe? Neil goes to the nest: he said he’d keep him safe, not stay by his side all the time etcetcetc. Whatever. Kevin goes to the nest: not good.

We already know (at least as far as I remember anyway) Andrew would’ve never forgiven Neil after Baltimore if he hadn’t gotten him to break his promise to keep Neil safe. Kevin going to the nest causes Neil to break his promise to Andrew, in turn causing Andrew to break the one promise that’s keeping him there. Andrew’s “purpose” is Kevin. And then he comes back, suddenly unmedicated (which was the whole basis behind their deal anyway) and Kevin is hurt?

We saw how important the deals and promises were to him. So yeah, I do think that Andrew would hate Neil if he was the reason why he broke his promise to Kevin. If Kevin died, or he was never able to play again, I fully believe that Andrew would have to kill Neil, or make him leave. He has no real ties to him beyond the “side effect of the drugs” crush he has on him at this point. That being said he obviously did say he would protect Neil, but I think this would be a scenario where him pulling out of the deal would be justified.

So do we think Charles got to see Dead Poets Society before he died or...

Cause I feel like the answer to this question influences a billion shrimp emotions I may or may not feel. Cause it came out in 1989 in June and I've seen people saying he died in December so it's possible

forgive me if I'm a little late to this? but let me get this straight: 

Neil Gaiman asks for fans coming to his events to please mask for everyone's safety

when asked why he isn't mandating them he says he tried but the venues won't allow it

many people don't listen, or don't see the ask bc it isn't official from the venue, and show up maskless

Neil now has COVID (for a second time, which means his risk of complications is higher) along with anyone else who got infected at that event

I just. y'all. please. 

If you are going to a fan event, especially a big one like a con where there will be tons of people, you need to be wearing a mask right now. Actors and other people who work in entertainment who meet with many people and frequent large gatherings or are part of con staff for instance are at significant risk of COVID from the sheer amount they are being exposed to, not only from acute infection but cumulative damage from multiple infections or long COVID and post COVID complications. COVID levels are nearly as high as they were in the first wave in 2020 and being vaccinated does not guarantee u cannot catch and/or transmit it(this study from this year says it's around 1 in five). Please be excellent to each other and do your best to not get your faves, their staff, or other fans sick. 

why and how masks work and what types are the safest (you can get good masks in all sorts of colors now btw if u want to match ur cosplay or stuff, ProjectN95 is a good source, and Jelli has clear masks if u want to have ur face visible)

I wish Neil a speedy and full recovery, and I hope more people listen to him and others trying to keep fans and creators and staff safe right now ❤️

WIP Wednesday (9/13) | Mafia Restaurant AU

“It was him.” Andrew says, absolutely positive. “Unless there’s some idiot out there so obsessed with him that they’d get a tattoo to match him. Well, besides the one the Ravens buried two years ago.”

“Um,” a pair of blue eyes widen at that statement and Andrew is vindicated. 

“Um?” Andrew repeats.

“We… don’t have any employees named Kevin,” the waiter says, glancing over his shoulder at the door. “But if you need anything, please let me know.”

“How are we going to do that if you’re hiding in the kitchen?” Andrew asks. Aaron laughs and Nicky makes a noise across from him.

“Jesus Christ, Andrew!” He says with a look before turning towards the clearly exasperated waiter. “I’m sorry about him. He’s just hangry. The salads look great. Thanks.”

“You’re welcome,” says the weaselly waiter. And then he hightails it back to the kitchen. Andrew watches him go, appreciating the view. He only picks up his fork once the door shuts between him and the only bit of decor this restaurant seems to have.

Kiss Fans Special

Today I don't want to write so much about the music of our favorite band, but for a change just about the people who probably know this music best and certainly listen to it most often. What else could I mean but the loyal hardcore fanbase, of which I of course also count myself among? So what better occasion to take a long look at one of these Kiss-specialized fan forums and hopefully let the experiences I've had there speak a little for themselves.

If you are interested in a certain band, especially if it has accompanied you for a large part of your life, then this circumstance can lead to you coming across a forum like this not just by chance. Once you've thought about registering with a profile, you're almost automatically drawn into it. And then you're right in the middle of everything.

This works in a similar way to what one could imagine as downsizing. You find yourself in a microcosm, so to speak, or rather in a virtual suburb where you also live, depending on how much time you intend to spend there, and where you clearly settle in. You then have your little house and lots and lots of neighbors, from all across the world. The ones you see every day and the ones you only bump into now and then from more remote corners. Not running into each other is virtually impossible. And of course there are quite a few nice, warm, humorous and intellectually gifted people there. It goes without saying that communication with these people works accordingly and is usually a pleasure.

Unfortunately, however, there are also those who regularly hang around for whom this description is far less accurate. You can think of it more or less like the constantly drunk, loud neighbor who specializes in faecal language and is constantly peeing compulsively in other people's front gardens. And there are quite a few of these fellows, and they all tend to have the same preference. Of course, this multiplies with each other and you end up with a whole lot of gardens. Among their peers, however, they don't practice this as a kind of matter of decency. So much for the social framework conditions.

The mayor of this place then makes sure that everything stays as it is. Because it works well that way, as he probably thinks, but I can only interpret that from his approach, because anyone who steps out of line within this natural order is therefore deprived of the right to live there as a consequence of this misbehavior. Many of the members who have suffered this fate often feel the urge to be downsized again as quickly as possible and return disguised with a false beard and glasses. Why is that? I'd like to say I don't know, but I happen to know the answer. So that we they can continue the discussion, what else?

Speaking of discussion. The discussions are about everything, literally everything that revolves around Kiss, Kiss itself and the Kiss family of course, and about the music, because Kiss are a band after all. People share what they like about the music, but above all what they don't like about it. This is often combined with criticism of 12-50 year old albums and suggestions as to what the band should have done differently. The words "should have" are probably the most frequently used words in general on this forum. But the criticism I'm talking about is not just limited to the music, but everything the band has ever done, including their personal lives of course.

And top ten lists are important, incredibly important in fact. Whenever and wherever someone lists even just three favorite songs or albums, many, many submissions of the personal, usually very different favorites of all readers inevitably and unsolicitedly follow, triggering a sudden chain reaction. Top 5 or 10 list threads are always a guarantee for a large number of comments.

I probably don't need to mention that very different opinions, often hardened over decades, are predestined to clash, which is not exactly a rarity, but routine. Many of the members there have known each other for many years and are fully aware of their differing views. However, this factor has no influence on the ongoing conflicts, on the contrary.

I really like to think of the content and opinions brought into these "discussions" as a broken pinball machine with only one ball in it. By this I mean that no new ball can get into the pinball machine, and the ball that is in there cannot get out again. This circumstance can have a certain appeal for a certain period of time, but I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say. I myself danced this tango there for six months, sometimes more, sometimes less, but at some point you just leave the dance floor and you've had enough of dancing around forever.

But I tell you something, dear people, Once you've left this place and when you're no longer a member, everything is suddenly very quiet, and all those voices around you suddenly fall silent, peace reigns again, and everything is just fine the way it is.

Nevertheless, I still like Kiss very much, even if I don't listen to their music on a regular basis, but only when I want to write something about them in order to make a more concrete comparison, just to make things sure. And since I've been writing about them regularly, I also began to deal with their songs, which I wasn't very fond of before. Easy as it seems.

I have to confess, I still like to take a quick look at this particular fan forum more than just occasionally. But you know how it is with bad habits:

They're hard to get rid of.

And because my blog is not least about the music of our favorite band, I don't want to neglect this fact any longer. At this point I can't think of a more suitable song than Rock and Roll Nite in the original version. Happy Groundhog Day!

Rock and Roll All Nite (1975)
