Hello, I saw your article entitled "WHY DEFEND FREEDOM OF ICKY SPEECH?" And I'd like to ask... Are you normalizing lolicon now? It's not just a made-up story where there's inappropriate content with children, where it's portrayed as something terrible. It's portrayed as something normal and sexy😦

This article?

As I point out in the article, I'd not actually read any lolicon, and 16 years later, I still haven't. As I say in it:

Still, you seem to want lolicon banned, and people prosecuted for owning it, and I don't. You ask, What makes it worth defending? and the only answer I can give is this: Freedom to write, freedom to read, freedom to own material that you believe is worth defending means you're going to have to stand up for stuff you don't believe is worth defending, even stuff you find actively distasteful, because laws are big blunt instruments that do not differentiate between what you like and what you don't, because prosecutors are humans and bear grudges and fight for re-election, because one person's obscenity is another person's art.

Because if you don't stand up for the stuff you don't like, when they come for the stuff you do like, you've already lost.

That time in ancient Greece when Aziraphale needed a speedy horse and accidentally invented the pegasus

VS.

Whatever Crowley had going on in medieval times

#i will ignore the non-canonocity of crowley being able to ride a horse because this slaps severely #art

No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away—until the clock he wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence.

–“Reaper Man”

‘Haven’t you ever heard the saying “Man’s not dead while his name is still spoken”?’

–”Going Postal”

People will always remember the songs he never had the chance to sing.   And they will be the greatest songs of all. Live your life in a moment. And then live forever.  Don’t fade away.

–“Soul Music”

Miles Maitland and some real-life inspirations for his character.

The reference to “Miles Malpractice” and his Edwardian brougham suggests a nod toward Stephen Tennant, and Tennant made the identification himself. In fact, “Miles Malpractice” is a refinement of later editions. His original, cast aside after complaints, was “The Hon. Martin Gathorne-Brodie,” a composite of three notoriously flamboyant ornaments of the scene, Martin Wilson, Eddie Gathorne-Hardy and Paddy Brodie. Certainly Miles’s vocal style […] seems closest to Gathorne-Hardy. — D. J. Taylor, Bright Young Things

From the Neil Gaiman: Dream Dangerously :) (you can watch it here in US or with US vpn :) <3)

Terry Pratchett: One day he rang me up and said, "I've started a book and, I think it's good, but I haven't the faintest idea where it goes." So, I said, "All right, well, send me the pages." And I read it and wrote him back and said, "I don't know where it goes either, but I do know what happens next."

Neil Gaiman: I was pretty much nocturnal then, so I would write my chunk of Good Omens before I went to bed, and I'd go to sleep about five o'clock in the morning and I'd get up about one o'clock in the afternoon and my answering machine would be flashing on, and I'd press the button and a voice would say, "Get up, get up you lazy bastard, I've just written a good bit."

Terry Pratchett: We did it as a kind of holiday, because if it crashed and burned, nobody would notice.

sometimes I see people calling Aziraphale selfish in an accusatory way, as if it's a flaw that needs to be smoothed out, as if it isn't a trait that is at once defiant and emancipating, as if his selfishness isn't mostly wielded in an empowering and kind way, as if it's categorically bad to want things for yourself, to enjoy them, to have and keep them, as if selfish isn't the most revolutionary thing an angel can be

I’d like to share a short story I stumbled onto while reading Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman.

#this is a short horror story to me and i feel like that is maybe the point #neilman

“Before the Beginning” automata and electronic music box (not hand-crank)

These have been in the works for a *long* time; I’ve lost track of how many hours I’ve spent tweaking or redesigning parts, but they are finally ready! Made from wood, paint, resin, acrylic, and brass. Inspired by that beautiful opening scene of S2, and of course the Aziraphale and Crowley are from the Peter Anderson Studios title credits. Turn the handle and they spin in space; press the star button on the front to play the music box rendition of the Good Omens theme. The (electronic) music box is rechargeable via a port in the back (cable included).

I couldn’t decide whether to make this blue with gold or gold with blue, so I made one of each just for variety- I’ll post the gold one tomorrow!

💫

I’m beyond excited for season 3!!
