[ sylvia waves dean over . she has a decievingly encouraging smile . ] “ hi ! i didn't think we'd be able to catch you tonight . ” [ camera zooms in so that sylvia and dean are the only ones in frame ] “ i will say this look is giving fashionable vampire . ” // @endcredt
“ who are you wearing ? tell me what’s going on with your look ? ”
i am wearing one of giorgio armani 's classical piece tonight . we're going for a crimson ish colored look for the theme .
“ who or what is the inspiration for tonight’s look ? ”
[ dean laughs ] honestly i specifically asked to not go over the costume, as i'm not really a big fan of horror stuff and don't want to scare myself while looking in the mirror.. then I watched one twilight movie and asked them why not edward..... cullen? edward cullen.. they suggested a better idea and it was to be like those 3 villain masters of the vurture coven? oh, volturi coven. my bad, but yes, i don't know if I look like those century old bad vampires but that's what i'm trying to achieve. i want the one with the long blonde hair, though, but they coldly said no.
“ how are you ? where’s your head at ? is this your very first met ? do you feel better prepared ? or are the nerves still there ? ”
no, this is my second, i think, but the nerves are still very much there.
“ did you arrive with a date tonight ? or flying solo ? ”
i... i'm ��on my own.
“ who are you most excited to see today ? ”
everyone, actually. my friends and a certain someone.
“ favorite detail for tonight ? could be your outfit or first impressions of the theme . ”
the decor, the vibes and everyone's look, definitely.
“ do you feel like you’re more of a character tonight or more you ? ”
more of a character, definitely. the normal me wouldn't have the red eyes and fangs.
“ what is going on ? i heard about your break up with our very own raven bae and the news of you and your people in the company and just wanna see how you’re doing . ”
the later was cleared up, it all turned out to be a hoax and those people don't even work at our company. as for me and raven, i still and will always love her and i wish nothing but all the happiness and good things life has to offer. please support her in her upcoming endeavours!
From the Neil Gaiman: Dream Dangerously 🥺❤ (you can watch it here in US or with US vpn :) <3) (or just this bit on youtube here :))
Neil Gaiman: I miss him most when I get stuck. You know, I'll just be
working on something and I'll go, "Oh, this isn't quite it," and all I want to do is just call Terry, tell him what's going on and have him say, "Ah, grasshopper, the answer is there in the question." And I'd go, "Oh, for fuck's sake, Terry, just tell me."
HEY that's MY emotional support morally ambiguous misunderstood full of trauma touch starved yearning for love drenched in blood responsible for numerous atrocities comfort character who is TRYING & u will TREAT them with RESPECT

[ sylvia readjusts her dress right and looks up to greet joey ] “ if it isn't hannibal lecter himself ! ” [ joey comes into frame as sylvia takes a step back to make room ] “ i was starting to wonder who if anyone was gonna come dressed as a character . ” // @delicatlueur
“ who are you wearing ? tell me what’s going on with your look ? ”
oh , i’m rocking a carefully crafted celine outfit , exclusively personalized for me . being the brand’s poster boy , they went all out to capture my essence , you know ? and i’m channeling the enigmatic hannibal lecter , but with a modern twist .
“ how are you ? where’s your head at ? ”
i’m doing okay , i guess . it just feels surreal to be at the met gala of all places . it’s not the usual kind of scene i find myself in , if you catch my drift .
“ okay how did this monday morning feeling compare to monday mornings of the past ? ”
ah , this monday morning was unlike anything i’ve experienced before . it’s a far cry from my usual groggy start to the week . i mean , i knew it’d be different , but my makeup team and stylist rolled up at my place very fucking early . wait — can i curse ? fuck , my bad if i can’t . but yeah , safe to say this morning was a whole new level of chaos . in a good way , i guess .
“ do you feel like you’re more of a character tonight or more you ? ”
i’m gonna be honest , these events always put me in an act . i’m not exactly the social type , you know ? so i put on a different persona , a more extroverted and camera-friendly version of myself . and tonight , i’m channeling that hannibal lecter vibe , and it’s pretty intriguing to embrace this alter ego . but i gotta admit , it’s been a kick . the fans are loving it , and that just adds to the overall satisfaction of the experience .
“ what is going on ? i heard about your breakup with larissa and just wanna see how you’re doing . ”
ah , thanks for asking , sylvia . but i’m alright ! life’s just unpredictable , you know ? things happen , relationships change . lari and i went our separate ways , but there’s still a ton of love there . we’re still close friends , and that means a lot to me . at the end of the day , our priority is each other’s happiness , even if it means going down different roads . i want them to be happy , you know ? they deserve it . thanks for checking up on me , though .
Job interview tip I got from a tiktok but it's genius:
If you were unemployed for a while, they're going to ask if you can explain the gap in your resume. Unless you were actually doing something cool & relevant, this is hard to answer in a way that makes you sound like a good corporate cog. So here's the best and infallible answer -
No you cannot, because you signed an NDA.
You now sound mysterious, desirable, worldly, experienced. They can't even really ask you more about it! Perfect.
Sir Terry Pratchett: on writing Good Omens with Neil Gaiman
I love the whole interview but this little snippet most of all:
Terry: “You can usually bet, and I’m sure Neil Gaiman would say the same thing, that, uh, if I go into a bookstore to do a signing and someone presents me with three books, the chances are that one of them is going to be a very battered copy of Good Omens; and it will smell as if it’s been dropped in parsnip soup or something in and it’s gone fluffy and crinkly around the edges and they’ll admit that it’s the fourth copy they’ve bought”.
