I just want to play with dolls and cry or something
I’m doing a lot and I’m tired and worried and I would like to not be any of those things

Hey, I was thinking abt how Aziraphale uses the name ‘Mr Fell’ in his bookshop, and definitely in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde the name Mr Fell is an allegory for someone you really dislike... I don’t really think they connect, but just in case, was this intentional at all? :)
That’s because of the nursery rhyme, “Doctor Fell”
I do not like thee, Doctor Fell,
The reason why – I cannot tell;
But this I know, and know full well,
I do not like thee, Doctor Fell.
Said to have been created by poet Tom Brown to save himself from expulsion.
And it was probably part of what was in my mind when I named him. (Mostly I just loved the idea of an Angel who named himself Fell, when he had not actually Fallen.)

How does it feel to see all of this meta posted of something you helped to create? Like do you seek it out, participate in it? I'm not sure of I could resist the urge myself!
Trust me, after you’ve spent 5 years – or 30 years – making something, it’s really easy to resist the urge. It’s like resisting the urge to run a marathon when you’ve just finished running a different marathon.*
*I have never actually run a marathon. I have resisted the urge to start marathon running.

Hi Neil, I recently re-watched one of my favorite movies, Princess Mononoke, and saw that you were listed in the credits. This being probably the 6th or 7th time I've seen the movie, it was my first time noticing that fact! What work did you do exactly for the movie? What did you think of the story?
Here’s an interview done a long time ago, all about that: http://web.archive.org/web/20010715201200/http://purpleplanetmedia.com/eye/inte/ngaiman-2.shtml

Not a questipn, just a thank you. Growing up queer and non-conforming in the 80's and 90's in a small town, having very few people like me, and then finding Sandman! Full of characters like me! I honestly didn't read the series for Morpheus, I thought he was kind of a dick, it was everybody else. So thank you. I needed it.
He was definitely kind of a dick. And you are very welcome.
Studio Ghibli crossover anyone? I haven’t seen anyone do this yet so here you go ❤
