#neil gaimen might be one of the funniest random authors to appeal to

[bananonbinary]

listen i like the “’[unpopular fandom opinion],’ i say into the mic.” meme that ends with the author themself agreeing with you. and then the companion meme for when the author is kind of a piece of shit or you just want to appeal to an even higher authority, “[character] themself”

but we can take it further. we should start appealing to the authority of people that have nothing to do with the property. John malevolent is terrible at manipulation. neil gaimen himself agrees with me.
