#dont be like neil

[waynesmywife]

maybe it's an unpopular opinion (or maybe its something waaay too obvious but forgive me i just watched the movie a week ago for the 1st time), but I think Neil missunderstood Keating's lessons.

"Seize the day" doesn't mean just "live today for tomorrow you migh be dead", it doens't just mean not to live constantly trapped in the past, or the future- it means "live today", yes, but it doesn't mean you have to completely stop caring about the future.

All I'm saying is he could've done what his father wanted until he had enough money to live on his own, ten years is nothing compared to all the years he could've lived acting. and yes, i know, "but he couldve died any day!", all i'm saying is that i think the lesson of the movie is: don't be neil. be patient, there are other options, and people who love you and care. or do you want your friends to grieve like we all did with neil? nobody knows what could've happened! yes, he could've died in those years of waiting, but also he might not, and that's part of the charm of living, that you don't know how much you have left, but you could have a lifetime.

Reminder that when Neil learned how Renne and Wymack lost their biological parents to prison fights/murder and he was jealous that no one would just kill his dad while in prison.

My hc is that not only do Neil and Kevin host their own Exy Podcast as a side hobby but at one point Kevin is explaining a very funny Exy anecdote and the two of them Crack up so hard that the fans realise that Kevin's real non-public persona laugh is filled with cute hiccups and snorts. And that Neil Jostens laugh is adorably wheezy

The public would be OBSESSED (like me)

#aftg #all for the game #tfc #the foxhole court #kevin day #neil josten #exy #tsc #the sunshine court #it started as a way to gush about exy but it becomes the number one exy sports podcast in the world #they someimes get the Foxes or other exy players to guest #the one with Jeremy results in the whole world knwoing about Kevins celeb crush #like lol he was more chill when Thea was a guest 🤣 #neils instigating online wars over his comments #he dont care

How the heck is there not more talk about Tanith Lee??

Like my gosh, the woman wrote, according to her wiki, 90 books, over 300 short stories, two World Fantasy Awards, and was the first woman to win the British Fantasy Award/Augus Derleth Award and wrote for tv shows.

Like, it's not like she just wrote a heck ton but wasn't very good! She was clearly very good she won awards, and i've read a swath of her stuff across different genres and really enjoyed most of it. I mean that even if not each one has been my cup of tea I can at least appreciate the skill and quite a lot I have truly enjoyed. She's got great prose and style and imagination. Not everything obviously was a banger, but they've all been at least well written, which is harder to come by in writing than you might think.

But nobody ever seems to talk about her?? And I feel like the fantasy crowd on here would really enjoy her stuff. The woman has done stuff in pretty much every genre from what I can see, but I never see her listed on fantasy authors like Clive Barker or Diana Wynne Jones or Neil Gaiman or Terry Pratchett or Diane Duane even though she was writing at the same time and has a similar sort of '80s Doing Cool Stuff with Fantasy vibe' I feel like people who like those authors would enjoy though she's very much her own style of author.

Anyway this was really just me putting out a rant that such a prolific and talented author seems to have fallen by the wayside and I think it's really a shame

Heck she even did a witch-queen fighting againt vampire Snow White a whole decade before Neil Gaiman did his phenomenal Snow Glass Apples and it's also excellent, give a look here:

I saw people on twitter talk about how Jack Black and Neil Gaiman are 'good Jews' because they are not 'evil Zionists'. The reason given? They are for a two state solution.

And I don't know how to tell this to none Jewish people kindly but uh.................... that. That's Zionism?

Believing in Palestinians right to have their own State, self determination and the right for a safe home, for education, for a life free of Hamas and Terror in a Two State Deal is Zionism because the other state in this deal???? Is still Israel. it is still a Jewish state. It is still believing in our rights to return and stay in our ancestral homeland.

Being for a two state Solution, for peace and for working together can and is part of being a Zionist !! And also you don't get to call people good or bad Jews that is antisemitic as fuck.

#jumblr #vent post #i/p #antisemitism #neil gaiman #jack black #antisemtism cw #like don't get me wrong I am someone who is for a two state solution too #and I very much admire Gaiman but stop !!!! deciding which Jew you accept or don't accept #like srsly the fact ppl dont see the antisemitism in this baffles me

If I had a nickel for every time William Shakespeare was depicted as a struggling playwright everyone bullied, that gained the aid of an ancient celestial being (who at the time was on a secret rendevous with their immortal friend there pretending not to be completely in love with) in order to become one of the most renowned and celebrated people of all time, I would have two nickles but it's weird that Neil Gaiman wrote it twice

Good Omens Season 1 episode 3

The Sandman Season 1 Episode 6

Even funnier when u realize that these scenes basically didn't add to the plot AT ALL, and it's just Neil flaming Shakespeare

it is completely one hundred percent baffling to me that any of the foxes would come away from witnessing neil and andrew's reunion in baltimore with the opinion that their relationship was just hate fucking . like my brother in christ are you blind

#andrew was FERAL . #he fucking choked KEVIN like COME ON #and he was like RACING into the room to see neil and #he was all like *tugs neil's hoodie to get his attention* *threatens anyone who tried to come close to them (abby)* #he was all like 'i dont trust them to give you back.' come on man . #and neil was looking at andrew . most definitely Like That. when he was talking to abby #neil was all battered and bruised from barely dodging a fucking death sentence and he sees andrews partly red eye and thats #the first thing he talks about #*lightly taps a thumb against the bruise at andrews eye* i didnt know theyd staged a riot #they were all like Looking at each other and ..... idk i am not explaining this well enough but . #you don't need me to. you all read it #it was So Fucking Obvious my god #im crying bc even neil thought nicky wasnt far from the truth at that point #like he could not have been more incorrect istg . #aftg #andreil #neil josten #andrew minyard #all for the game #mi ne

It's kind of funny (heartbreaking) that there were multiple Ravens who wanted a number, to the point where some tried to manipulate Jean into helping them one way or another, but none of them would have been next in line. No matter what they did, there was always someone ahead of them on the list. Someone who wasn't even on the team. That someone wasn't Neil. Neil was a surprise to everyone, including Riko. That someone was Andrew.

Kevin might have had to beg Riko to go visit Andrew, and Riko might have laughed at Kevin and dismissed Andrew when Andrew turned him down, but make no mistake, if Andrew had accepted and had become a Raven, he would have taken that #4 spot within his first year.

If we're being real, Andrew had more of a chance at becoming part of the perfect Court than any of those Ravens ever had. Even Jean thinks of Andrew as one of them.

The other Ravens never stood a chance.

#i honestly dont think any of the ravens stood a chance #if they werent inked within their first year (or begore it) then they prob never would have been even if riko lived and the nest continued #riko (and kevin) seemed to choose people to recruit already knowing they'd be perfect court #like riko tried to get neil to join the ravens already knowing hed make him perfect court (in order to keep a claim on him) #and i fully believe kevin scouted andrew with full intentions of making him perfect court #so none of those other ravens who were torturing jean ever stood a chance #it was all for naught #idk if this makes any sense #it's like 12:30am where i am and im just rambling lol i should be asleep #anyway #aftg #all for the game #the sunshine court #the sunshine court spoilers #tsc spoilers #tsc #andrew minyard #neil josten #jean moreau #riko moriyama #kevin day #perfect court

Suddenly remembering the best and funniest Good Omens fanfiction I ever read which was set at a mutual Heaven and Hell "work party" and all the demons had bets to see who could bed an angel by the end of the night. It was hilarious and of course you read it presuming that Crowley will win but be gentlemanly enough to not claim the prize - which of course is what happens, but at the last minute it hits you around the face by revealling that Beelzebub hooked up with Gabriel

and well.

I think I'm gonna go reread that fic...

#true story this fic was the first time i even considered ineffable beurocracy #i dont think i even knew the ship name until after i read that fic #I hope the writer is having a great day today #once my emotions have calmed down and I've stopped spiralling over the last 10 mins of GOS2 #I think its really gonna hit me that they made a former crack ship canon #BEFORE CROWLEY AND AZIRAPHALE #unbelievable #Neil Gaiman I do wonder if maybe you've spent too long on tumblr #you clearly think like one of us #lmao #good omens #good omens season 2 spoilers

au where andrew is a ups driver (he likes driving and he's alone all day, it's a good fit imo) and he keeps having to deliver these giant fucking boxes to this one house on his route until finally he sees the guy and oh no he's hot but andrew is in the middle of carrying a box that's taller than he is and he's Over It so he gracelessy drops the box on neil's doorstep. neil (just returned from a run, sweaty, slightly out of breath) asks what andrew's grudge is with his order. andrew glares and tries to ignore neil's stupid blue eyes, he asks wtf could neil possibly be ordering on a monthly basis that requires a 5 foot something package. neil, 100% serious, says he's collecting famous exy rackets (he's got a lot of blood money and has a hobby yknow). its the dumbest thing andrew has ever heard and he says as much. idk something something, neil says a smartass remark, they keep this up with every delivery until allison (who was at neil's place just to spy on the delivery guy) tells them to stop flirting and get a room. they don't but they do go out (it's not a date bc andrew doesn't do "dates" (it's a date))

#this is so dumb but i recently applied to be a fedex driver (dont ask me why) so this was on my mind #but like fr i could see andrew as a delivery driver #aftg #all for the game #the foxhole court #andreil #tfc #neil josten #andrew minyard #nora sakavic

Watching the bitter pitiful downfall of Neil DeGrasse Tyson has been fascinating. These days he's known primarily for being a pretentious and smug wet blanket, but there was a bit when the public loved him! He wanted to take on the mantle of Carl Sagan, he was gonna be the new generation of science education and he was a black man whose Cosmos series highlighted the scientific contributions of women and men of color! He rapped about how we know the earth is round and it was a self aware nerd moment that was being shared all over the internet!

And something happened?? The accusation of sexual abuse didn't seem to get much traction so I don't pin the downfall on that moment as the catalyst. There were some rumors that he was an ass so it was probably already there. He made some buzz-kill tweets that got push back but holy shit he's just gone into this bitter Rationalist Brain Rot and I would love to just find the dude and ask what the fuck happened to him in general. What is his damage??

Lunar eclipses happen all the time they're not special. The universe doesn't care about you. This is statistically nothing.

What the fuck are you doing Neil??? Do you think killing wonder and telling people their excitement for natural phenomena is carrying on the legacy of your supposed hero Carl Sagan?? You should be excited when the public is excited for science! Sure lunar eclipses are common but why is commonality something not worth celebrating! Tell people how to notice when it happens so they can join the excitement! Why the fuck do you think being a smug condescending killer of awe is what it means to share science?? The fuck is wrong with you dude??

#neil degrasse tyson #i dont think he had wonder then lost it i fully believe the rumors that hes always been an ass #cosmos has an odd mix of like #legit wonder for the common stars and a love of sharing that wonder but you SEE the hints of what's to come in his Big Brain Atheist head
