God I’m still so fuckinf salty over Neil Gaiman being an absolute perverted fuckstick. But damn his short stories really informed my personality.
One of my favourites is called Changes, about a man who develops a pill that can just cure cancer. The side effect is it changes the person sex overnight. The short story explores how people start to use it recreationally, discrimination that arises from its use, and how society evolves over the inventors life to incorporate this new way of existing. It’s so well written, and I think about it often.
There’s so many of his short stories I adore. Why’d he have to go and be such a fucking freak?
I still won’t throw them out though, they informed too much of my childhood and I’m too sentimental.
Right?! Absolutely fuck him. And her, for knowing and still sending girls to him. It absolutely pisses me off. He was so revered and his work is amazing. I’m down with separating the art from the artist for work you grew up and loved, keeping them, but I sure as shit wouldn’t spend any $ on his works now.

Yep! Amanda Palmer is NOT a girl’s girl. She’s a trafficker like Maxwell, as far as I care. Never liked her music anyway 😂
maybe the ability to question our social norms in radical ways comes from the same place where his empathy should be
tho he has a close relationship with his partner and they do evil stuff together, maybe some of the ideas are hers
but now that I think of his books there is no kindness or tenderness in them
I wouldn’t be surprised, I haven’t really ever liked her tbh. She comes across as a little sadist imo
yup, no kindness, no tenderness
get stuck into Pratchett. His worst sin was taking a bit to realise his position of privilege as a white male.
