As someone who has participated in butchering animals and preparing meat I can say that the amount of blood Jenny gets all over herself is entirely avoidable. Under normal circumstances only long sleeves are at risk of getting stained, maybe a belly if you lean on a bloody table, and maybe a drop here or there. She's either incompetent (unlikely) or is just unnecessarily slashing and chopping like feral solely for dramatic effect. Like, intentionally going "my goth aesthetic could use some blood splatter".

So, I enjoyed Cat King as a character, but to be honest as a concept I find it a bit ridiculous.

Cats would not have a king. They're all about anarchy.

I find him lacking in feline department. Is he primarily a cat that can take a human shape, or a humanoid who can take cat shape? Because if former, what's with the urge to bang a human (ghost)? If latter, why would cat accept him as king?

And then he drops hot takes like this, that I'm sure most cats would find extremely controversial:

What's up with this guy?

So what is this crowbar supposed to be made of, that he can hold it without burning his hands? Aluminum? :D

Not sure how the things that the dead boys own work in Dead Boy Detectives. I mean the contents of their magic bag, the bag itself, etc. Are they physical objects? Are they ghostly? If they're physical, does it look like things are floating around when they handle them? If they're ghostly, how? How does a thing becomes a ghost of a thing?

If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

Two kinds of people who are only vaguely aware of Neil Gaiman: those who think he's a long dead classic and those who think he's a millenial.

You're 63??? I thought for sure you were in your thirties!

I've been writing professionally since 1982ish.

I hope Rayner buys Reno that Vesper martini he owes her from the alt timeline. And probably make her go "sir, you know I'm a lesbian, right?" xD. But then they bond over being salty bitches. Reno can teach him how to be a better functioning salty bitch that isn't disliked by everyone.

Can't handle the suspension of disbelief required to ignore how completely comfortable and well Lucy seems to be after being stabbed in the guts. Like, I had IBS worse than that :D. How?? I get that the drugs she injected herself with must be some good futuristic shit, but they don't seem advanced enough to have anything to actually patch up a perforated guts, so how isn't the contents of the intestines spilling all over her abdominal cavity???

Good Omens 2 survivors when they see Neil Gaiman describe a show as romantic:

Gosh, I hope no one's asked this already but...

After watching The Sandman together, my husband and I are looking forward to watching Dead Boy Detectives. I've just watched the trailer and while I'm excited at the prospect of snuggling up with hubby to enjoy more of your creative genius, I'm really nervous that this show will be too much for me. While I can manage blood spurting and can even appreciate the occasional jump scare, the horror aspect is making me more than a little nervous.

Which leads me to ask...

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "Hey, let's pop some popcorn and gather the kids around the television," and 10 being "Watch in broad daylight with every curtain in your house open and every light in the house on or you'll never sleep again," how would you gauge the show and its episodes as a whole, horror-wise?

Yes, I apologize for being a wimp, (I blame my big sister for intentional exposure to "The Shining" as a 5-year old.) but I'm pretty certain you've answered a question like this kindly in the past, and I'd be most grateful.

Regardless, even if you only read this in passing and don't answer, please know that even though I'm just finding the time to get to know your work now, I have been fan of you as a human being for a long time. Thank you for all you contribute to the human race, Mr. Gaiman. There aren't enough kind people in the world.

Honestly, I'd say mostly it doesn't get scarier than a 4. It's not a horror series. It's very funny, very sweet, romantic and loving and human, sometimes painful and always weird.
