"For the first time, I think [George H.W.] Bush looks like he's in over his head. You know, any effective leader has got to be a son of a bitch. [Dwight D.] Eisenhower was as cold as ice. He had to be to do the damn job. And [Lyndon B.] Johnson? Forget it. You have to instill the fear of God in your people in order to get results. This is Bush's problem. He's nice; everyone likes him. But no one fears him."

-- Former President Richard Nixon, on President George H.W. Bush, to his aide Monica Crowley, November 22, 1991

29 days till first exam

I’m gonna be honest!!! I completely stressed out about thinking about revision which is why I stopped posting/ doing anything in order to avoid the problem. I’ve started buckling down again so I figured I would start posting and see what happens :3

I’m going to stop volunteering over the exam period which will feel weird but grades are important right now. Anyway here’s my work for the day:

Write an essay on the US presidency, To what extent is the president imperial?

Write up my Pulp Fiction essay, To what extent is narrative an experimental device in Pulp Fiction

Play some animal crossing (I need a break 😭)

Do my second to last volunteering session :3

I also got my grade back for my Film studies coursework, I got 33/40 which is an A so I’m very happy with that, we have a write up to do for it so I still have a chance on making that grade slightly higher. I’m glad it’s over because it’s been so much work and honestly I have not enjoyed it 💀

For now I’m staying at school to get my essays done and listening to the study with cats pomodoro timer (I’m obsessed w these atm)

Hope you’re all doing well and have a lovely day <33333

You should have to pass an IQ test before you breed. You have to take a driving test to operate vehicles and an SAT test to get into college. So why don’t you have to take some sort of test before you give birth to children? When I am President, that’s the first rule I will institute.

Happy Presidents’ Day to those who celebrate. On this day, it’s important to remember those who truly fought to hold their nation together, like me, who signed the Compromise of 1850, and uh. Uhmmmmm uhhhhh. Did other positive things for the nation. Uhmmmmmm uhhhh

HOWDY!

Addressing the Tumblr community, I am the true deadboy detectives president. There is my rival upon this hellsite. I will not state their name for their safety because there is too much drama in my life right now, so thank you.

This is a complete joke, btw, BUT IF YOU DO HAVE AND QUESTIONS ABOUT DEADBOY DETECTIVES, I AM HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUERIES IF MR NEIL GAIMAN IS UNAVAILABLE :)

Most likely, I won't post anything original. I'm just here to stalk deadboy detectives and Neil Gaimans other works. And many different things.

HAVE A GOOD DAY :D

Laters Gaters!

Does the White House have a basement?

If so, it begs the question.

What’s inside?

Aside from old items and documents I mean.

I wonder.

Hmmm…

Perhaps a bowling alley?

A secret library?

Storage and filing cabinets?

Shambling horrors living in the White House.

No I didn’t draw them.

"Ulysses Simpson Grant's period in office seems to prove the theory that we can coast along for eight years without a President...Grant's period as President was one of the low points in our history...I don't think Grant knew very much about what the President's job was except that he was Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. That was the thing, I think, that impressed him more than anything, and he was pretty naïve or ignorant about everything else...He wasn't even a Chief Executive; he was another sleepwalker whose Administration was even more crooked than Warren Harding's, if that's possible."

-- President Harry S. Truman, on Ulysses S. Grant

[typed] What [crossed out] has been [handwritten, inserted] We [typed] won [crossed out] in the unity of all our peoples [handwritten, inserted] when we [crossed out] all our people united [typed] must not now be lost in [crossed out] division [handwritten, inserted] division distrust and selfishness [typed] among any of our people.

Believing as I do, I have concluded that I should not permit the Presidency to become involved in the partisan divisions that are developing in this political year. With America's sons in the field far away, with America's future under challenge here at home, with our hopes -- and the world's hope -- for peace in the balance every day, I do not believe that I should devote an hour of my time to any personal partisan causes or [handwritten, inserted] to [resume typed text] duties other than the awesome duties of this office.

Accordingly, I shall not seek -- and [crossed out] would [handwritten, inserted] will [resume typed text] not accept -- the nomination of my party for another term as your President.

Let men everywhere [handwritten, inserted] however [resume typed text] know that a strong, confident, vigilant America stands ready to seen an honorable peace and ready to defend an honored cause, whatever the price, whatever the burden, whatever the sacrifice [crossed out] the duties of the future [handwritten, inserted] duty [resume typed text] may require.

Some days I talk about my fascination with presidents like “none of them can be considered objectively good or bad people that can be judged by our modern understanding of what is or isn’t moral, history is complicated” and then I remember Lincoln lost his son in the beginning of the Civil war and then I’m like “history sometimes isn’t complicated, it’s just sad”

Is the 2022 run by pornsak pichetshote in the dead boy detectives omnibus? And are there any comic runs that aren’t in the omnibus?

Okay, so while I don't have the omnibus myself (I know, call me a fake president all you like), I found a list of what it includes. The 2022 run by pornsak pichetshote is not in it :/. I'm not sure why, but it's probably because the run finished earlier that year. I don't think there's anything else the omnibus missed, but here's a list of what it includes.

WHAT'S IN THE OMBIBUS:

The Sandman #25, The Children's Crusade #1-2, an original middle chapter to the Children's Crusade from the pages of Free Country: A Tale of the Children's Crusade, The Sandman Presents: The Dead Boy Detectives #1-4, Dead Boy Detectives #1-12, and Jill Thompson's the Dead Boy Detectives; stories from Vertigo: Winter's Edge #3, Ghosts (vol.2) #1, Time Warp (vol.2) #1, and The Witching Hour (vol.3) #1; and pages from Death: at Death's Door, swaml thing annual #7, and the Doom Patrol annual #2

Hope this helped!
