Hi Neil, I was recently attempting to explain your body of work to a friend (whom hasn't read anything by you but does at least recognize Coraline, small blessings), and upon showing her a photo of you, she immediately mistook you for Tim Burton. I had to laugh, but also wonder.... has this happened to you? Does it happen alot??

Only once, in San Diego, where a very drunk homeless person told me that I was definitely Tim Burton and that he didn’t like my movies.

If there is any justice in the world, one day a drunk homeless person will tell Tim Burton that he doesn’t like my books.

Mr. Gaiman Neil sir you retweeted me on twitter and I nearly shrieked how do you find us nobodies when you probably get tagged a million times a day

I don’t try and read everything. Whatever is on the screen when I turn it on, I’ll react to or answer or whatever. And then I’m done and I do something else…

And nobody is a nobody.

What I love about the bathtub in hell is Aziraphale, surrounded by decay and hatred, Aziraphale, delicate, decadent, leaning back to splash a little, scare them a little, making himself comfortable and everyone else uncomfortable by it. Aziraphale, demanding the embarrassment of homely earthy things like towels and ducks. Aziraphale weaponizing the person he’s become on earth, the person he’s discovered as himself, and doing it deliberately. He is not mortal, but he is human by association, and they have no idea how to deal with that—have never had to defeat laughter in the face of power, and Aziraphale is laughing at them. He is discovering that softness is his strength.

Neil, in case you’re scrolling the tags, I just wanted to say that I love you. Thank you for making cool stuff with your brain that I’ve enjoyed for almost my whole life. I’ve “loaned” so many copies of your books to people, and been happy to not receive them back (the thing about things…). I have so much more to say, but in the interest of you actually glancing at this, I’ll just say 💋

My favorite book is a tv show now and I’m delighted <3

What the hell, may as well post this here too. I drew up the image for my tattoo artist to use, and he did such an amazing job. I love all my ink (I have a fair amount), but this piece more than almost any other feels like it’s always been meant to be there, like it was MISSING before. My ink makes me happy, I love being Art.

glitz-addams replied to your post “I don’t know if this blog is still active, but I was wondering if…”

perhaps more than kardasi itself, i’m interested in how kardasi-accented Basic/English would sound, and what terran language would be easiest for them.

I’d have to have a bit of a think about which Terran language would be easier for a Cardassian to learn. Off the top of my head, I’d say Japanese and the Hawaiian language both would be easier in terms of pronunciation, in that Hawaiian (afaik) has no blended consonants and Japanese has very few. As well, as far as I’m aware, the vowel sounds for both languages sync up pretty nicely with Kardasi, as well.

Regarding how English would sound with a Cardassian accent, here’s what I believe a sample phrase would be like:

My name ees Gahrahk; Cahruhdahssiahn by buhruhth, ahviousuhly. The onuhly one ahf us lahfuht on the suhtation, ahs ah maht'tuhr ahf faahkuht. So I do ahpuhreciate makin new fuhrienuhs when I cahn.

crowley’s been calling aziraphale ‘angel’ literally since he was cast out of heaven, but one december day in 2012, shortly before a human-predicted apocalypse would fail to happen, he accidentally adds the word 'my’ to the endearment.

'my angel’ is hardly spoken before crowley is gone. aziraphale finds him curled up in the room with most of his plants in his serpent form, clearly hiding.

rather than draw attention to it, he asks if crowley would like him to fetch a sun lamp, as if this is a perfectly normal reaction he’s having, an everyday occurrence.

crowley doesn’t blush. he turns into a snake and hides. this becomes evident several days later when, after they’ve had far too much to drink, aziraphale calls him 'my dear’ only to have to go looking through the cottage to find that crowley has wrapped himself around a light fixture.
