this truly is the hardest question. :( but after much consideration, I think Endless Halloween Night wins out for me, because it's nonstop Characters Being Silly the whole way through. the whole thing is just lots of these little dorks having the most ridiculous interactions, which is always my favorite! and of course the big twist is SO delightfully stupid and doubles down SO hard that it becomes AMAZING and I 100% unironically adore it. AND it's Halloween! everyone is in their cute little costumes and having a spooky adventure! it's great!
however, I am ALSO a big fan of the Harveston event! how can I not be! everyone is wearing comfy winter outfits and getting along really weirdly well with Epel's grandma and he's getting a little worried about that! my terrible loud son sews a plush squirrel and then gives it a silly little nickname and refuses to leave it behind when it breaks! the ending shot with the sled! I LOVE IT.
“i think there’s something about being a young woman that feels very murderous. that’s what i was trying to get with a song like ‘dream girl evil.’ it can be dangerous for people to think you’re incredibly nice. when you get, ‘you’re an angel,’ that seems like such a high place to fall from. when i see messy or violent or terribly behaved women, especially young women, there’s a liberation. to not have to try and survive by being good.”
Perhaps sometimes you think "I wonder what that Neil Gaiman does on Fridays when he isn't answering questions on Tumblr?" So here is what I did last Friday... (Although there weren't 40 people in the crew. Only two).
Teaser for Mirrored Walls! Costume design for Jack Rose
This outfit has been rotating in my mind for a long time so I wanted to do a proper costume design for it! This is the outfit I picture him wearing in the first chapter of Mirrored Walls, and how he dresses throughout the story is usually similar to this.
I'm still writing the first chapter, so it'll be up vaguely soon! Here's just a little treat to tide you guys over in the meantime :)
