Internet drama is bullshit

Niel gaiman, as alleged and he hasn’t convincingly defended himself against the allegations, has hurt people. And I stand with his victims. That should be obvious to pretty much anyone.

With that said, not every bit about discussion about him has to be immediately about his victims.

I was in a server and someone mentioned him getting dropped from his publisher. And im like good. I also made a lighthearted comment that “I never liked his work anyway :dab:” and I made commentary about my experiences with his work, and my distaste for it, for a little bit while I was also having had said I was in pain and I was mostly just typing to do something engaging. This was on a server for an artist with not too many people and by no ways a public forum. Additionally I have myself been a victim of abuse for most of my life and because of that I reserve the right to disengage from conversations about abuse because of the way i can only do it when I’m in a proper headspace to.

Anyway, the artist on this server replied to my lighthearted jest with a screenshot of a twitter post where they basically say “people who use the situation with Neil Gaiman to say how they’ve always disliked his work are the most annoying people” and that those people are just looking to dunk on people who like Niel’s work and are diminishing his victims.

And like?? Ok, first of all coward why don't you engage with what i said directly and ask me to do what you think I should to stand up for his victims. I wasn’t saying anyone who ever liked his work is terrible not even remotely?? I was saying i personally never liked it. Second of all I’m not fucking posting online for clout i’m talking in a casual conversation to distract from pain with some people I consider friends. Not every discussion about niel gaiman has to litigate what he did and stand up for his victims because that takes a different energy to engage with. Im not fucking taking a stance online im having a fucking casual conversation to distract from pain.

This is not the first time this author has treated me shitty on this server, just the final straw. I liked the other people there but I am done being treated like this.

Aziraphale is handling his role as archangel just fine.

Hey uh. Maybe there should be a rule of thumb that you don’t assume some “drama” is over something minor unless proven, lest you come off as incredibly dismissive and callous towards victims of a famous person

How are we feeling?

I hate when terrible people have the ability to create beautiful things

THE LITTLE HEAD KISS I CANT AHHHHHHHH

[iteh3xael]

Have to remind myself that people like Roald Dahl and Robin Williams and Mr Rogers exist to not taint the rest of the “CisHetWhiteMan” rhetoric given how current events are transpiring

GOOD OMENS SEASON TWO SPOILERS

Ok I’m gonna be deeply ranting and analyzing the kiss scene (mostly just the kiss itself) because OH MY GOSH THERES SO MUCH TOO IT

First of all here’s a gif of it:

And also I don't have a gif of it but when Crowley releases Aziraphale, what struck me was that he didn’t make them burst apart he gently and almost sadly just stepped back. And then watched. Now. One of the biggest things I’ve been thinking about in this (because I’ve been obsessively watching it over and over) is how Crowley is kissing him. It’s a long kiss. It’s not sensual. It’s not eating each others faces. It’s intimate and very romantic. Crowley missed Aziraphales lips by a hair and is slightly kissing his chin. Crowley holds him there as they sway back and forth slightly. I can’t see if his eyes are open or not. But the thing that strikes me about this is how much all of Crowley’s body language and everything just scream about how much he doesn’t want to move. He finally kissed his angel and he wants to stay pressed up against him, finally locked in the embrace he didn’t realize he needed for so long. He just stays there. He doesn’t kiss deeper. He just stays pressed against him, not wanting to deal with how Aziraphale will look at him afterwards.

then he has to break apart. He does it gently, but suddenly. Like he had to force himself but doesn’t want to . He wanted to stay, but he knows he can’t. So he steps back with his heart breaking more than he thought possible.

now onto Aziraphale.

Aziraphale is shocked. His eyes go from open to closed to open to closed. He leans back so slightly you almost can’t see it. He doesn’t seem to know how to feel.

And then his hands go around Crowley. It almost seems like it’s an unconscious motion, given how he looks after they break apart. It looks like for a split second, he lets himself melt into Crowley, as his hand wraps around his back and slides across it. But then he hesitates again abd takes his hands away. He thinks he can’t melt into Crowley. But there was the one moment where he broke.

after they break apart, Aziraphale looks shocked, upset, desperate, and to me, even a little disgusted. Probably because he doesn’t know how to deal with it. He licks his lips and moves his mouth around abd seems uncomfortable. But then after Crowley leaves he presses a hand to his mouth. He holds it for a second and starts crying. He realized he liked how it felt. He realizes everything he’s been missing. He loved the feeling of Crowley’s lips on his. Most importantly, he loves crowley.

on the topic of people hating on Aziraphale and saying the metatron did something to him, I disagree. This seems completely in character fir Aziraphale. He’s not an arsehole, he’s in conflict. He thinks he’s not allowed to love Crowley. I get him.

ok Thanks for coming to my Ted talk hehe bye

Aziraphale and Crowley be like.

So after waking up, I was drinking tea and enjoying the rain. I left the house to walk through the garden, soon joined by my cat, Vampi, although it wasn't long before he ran to hide when the rain came back a little harder. At that moment, for some reason I remembered that it was November 10th and I hadn't done the birthday drawing as I had planned. Luckily, I remembered drawing Neil in a sketchbook back in 2019. And here he is. I present to you a drawing that I made before the pandemic, it is strange that those drawings come to light.

My English is bad, so this is all Google Translate, I hope it's not bad xD

[ineffablehubbys]

I’m still not sure how I managed to draw this. Think I must have blacked out
