Me: I shouldn't disturb Neil Gaiman. I shouldn't send an ask unless I really have no way of getting the information otherwise. I'll check old interviews and all the articles that vaguely mention the subject. Of course it goes without saying that I'll read though the FAQ in its entirety. Only then, will I send an ask. However, I'd be very polite and praise his work, as anyone would. I'd also keep it short, because I don't want to waste his time. But I'd keep it very very respectful. I'd be sending a message to a very talented, amazing author that deals with god knows how many like me. Or I'd just stay in the dark and not send him an ask. Yeah, I'll do that.

i cant get over the ball being so CLEARLY all for crowley i can't get over aziraphale trying to woo him with a WHOLE FUCKING BALL because that's what he knows that's what romance IS for him because he's been wanting to dance with crowley ever since dancing was invented and he's so stuck in time with the way he dresses and talks and he still thinks a dance is the high of romance AND HE MADE A WHOLE ENTIRE FUCKING BALL FOR CROWLEY JUST SO HE COULD DANCE WITH HIM like now it's so fucking obvious he gave away his BOOKS without a second thought and it was all for crowley he organised a whole JANE AUSTEN THEME BALL just so he could have an excuse to finally dance with the love of his life and i can't get over this i'm shaking my fists and pacing up and down he did not give a single fuck about anything other than dancing with crowley and HE BARELY TOUCHED OTHER PEOPLE'S HANDS WHILE HIS WHOLE FUCKING PALM WAS PRESSED TO CROWLEY'S AND i need to lie down

Tamlin is actually such an underrated character in acotar. Because of feyres very biased narrative she forces readers to ignore the complexity of his character and man. its sad
Tamlin is a character who is genuinely GOOD at his core. He changed so much of the spring court for good, eliminating slavery within the spring lands and mortals having more protection. Hes a morally good character that made a few mistakes and is boiled down to just those mistakes. Locking feyre in the house and the magical/emotional blow up, which are both pretty decent fuck ups (i dont think siding with hybern fully counts as he was a double agent all along and tamlin was decently justified in thinking feyre was being kept against her will. lets be fr here) and even after he’s extremely fucked over by the nightcourt, his lands and court burned to shit, he still saves rhysand. Saves rhysand and tells feyre to be happy, even when he has every reason to NOT do that!
Hes a character that clearly holds himself to a higher standard. throughout acotar he puts lucien and feyres safety above his own, even sending feyre away when she was the only one who could save him. Even though what he did to her wasnt great its not completely irredeemable, rhysand did much worse things to feyre and other people but hes living his best life while Tamlin seems to find himself unworthy of being a person (acosf wheres hes been in beast form for roughly over two years) hes a perfectionist who now doesnt even think he deserves anyone because he accidentally hurt the people he loves most.
Sjm accidentally created a beautifully rich and morally righteous character who is so extremely fucked by the narrative. Which doesnt even work half the time as sjm cant seemingly commit to making him a full villain (seemingly by accident again she gave him quite a reasonable explanation to everything he did ‘wrong’ but still chooses to make him a punching bag)
If Tamlin was genuinely a morally evil character he wouldnt have NEARLY the amount of fans as he does. Hes a character that requires the minimum amount of media literacy and comprehension to understand and i LOVE him.

Very very Minor spoilers for Percy jackson and the Chalice of the gods
I just finished Percy Jackson and the chalice of the gods and OH MY GODS I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
Not only is it a well written book (as usual) but also seeing the Trio back together.
Having MULTIPLE Jackson-Blofis dinners where Annabeth is also presents and you're just feeling how good this family is.
Annabeths and Sally's relationship getting fleshed out but also Percy and Paul having their moments.
Poseidon actually doing things close to parenting for Percy.
Rick dedicating the book to Walker,Leah and Aryan with the words "to new beginnings".
Also new beginnings kinda being the topic of the book
I do like Iris and Ganymede (I'm very sorry for him).
Percys strength being shown again and him seeming even more powerful than ever.
CHARACTER GROWTH.
The fight with Gary was such a good idea. (Power of friendship working realistically)
Athena not killing Percy (kinda unexpected)
Percy just constantly thinking of his future with Annabeth and it bringing him through the Quest. This had me happy screaming so much.
Eudora seems funny I'm excited to see more of her.
The stakes not being worldendingly high made it so much calmer to read but since it was still personal you totally rooted for Percy.
Percy living his life and getting glimpses into his day to day life with his friends and family.
Annabeth has FANS in the greek world.
And it all ending with a family dinner where you're just happy and everything is nice and well and good and they're all so happy and laughing together. This is just what they needed after all these years of Trauma all of them endured.
I'm probably gonna edit so mich more to this when I calmed down enough and my thoughts cleared that I can obsess about it more
