Everyone please behold this baby tree:
It's so much smaller than the support posts, they had to secure it with caution tape.
Caution: baby!
One day (but not this day)!
Update:
Thriving!
In case you were wondering!
Update:
Filling out, and up!
also somwtimes when you dont understand a piece of art it's not bc ur dumb it's bc you havent had the very particular emotional experience that it's trying to invoke in you and you just cant relate. which is also why sometimes you will hear a mountain goats song and say Meh and then you go through some shit and you listen to it again and lose your fucking mind at how real and raw it is. art is how we communicate with each other about experiences that cannot be adequately represented straightforwardly with language. sometimes you have to abstract your representation of the experience in order to truly communicate how big and insane it felt

So we've been having a bit of a debate in the office because we wanted to do the headline "Local man gives up sugar for 12 minutes" but then overdoing the "local man" trope is a bit male-centric, so we considered "Local woman" but then that sounds like we're typecasting women so that wasn't great either, but I think we've finally found a worthy compromise:
cellars. obviously.
Can't. The cellar is full of Amontillado.
Where? I don't see it
Just down here. Come this way and I'll show you.

Hello there! It is officially The Final Month of the wait for Season 2.
I've been very excited about Good Omens S2. And since I was already perusing Neil Gaiman's blog ( @neil-gaiman ) for extra info on the GO world, I decided to start throwing answered Asks on a doc. It was mainly for me and my friends for reference, but I finally decided to post it to here, too.
As I was going through, I saw there were a lot of repeated questions. A lot of a lot of them. So, maybe this will help a bit? And yes, it does have information for Season 2. (BUT, but not the leak spoiler. It is leak-free!)
I also added some niche extra info and BTS that was buried in there.
Thanks to Neil Gaiman for taking so much time to answer so many questions! I really enjoy the behind-the-scenes info and learning more about the GO world.
I also made my own QnA about this here (please check it before messaging me about anything): OrpiKnight's QnA
What an astonishing work of compilation! Thank you so much.
There's an online claim that the two old women who lived together in Coraline are gay and together. Is this true sir?
You’re asking me if the two old women who live together downstairs from Coraline live together?
Yes the ones I've assumed were gay my whole life. People online are saying you confirmed it and I wanted to check if it was genuinely canon
It's been genuinely canon since I wrote the book. Why would anyone think they weren't a couple?
The degree to which the people who do not like seeing queer people represented will STAY in denial about otherwise completely obviously queer characters being obviously queer is astounding. Therefore, queer audiences have become conditioned over decades of this denial being shoved in our faces (and being used to call us delusional for even considering the possibility of a queer character ever existing) that at this point, many people refuse to even THINK it may be possible without Word Of God confirmation and/or onscreen tongue kissing.
Which means that unfortunately, authors like Gaiman who try to put queer characters in their story without making a big flashy statement about it (because queer people are just people who happen to exist in the world along with everybody else) are going to be bombarded with well-meaning but very skittish people hoping against hope that they are indeed seeing what they think they’re seeing.
I wonder if that's why some people who had read the Sandman positively shocked at the number of gay people in Sandman on TV. The characters were just as gay in the comics. But perhaps the people reading could miss that or ignore it in ways they couldn't do when the people were walking around on their screens.
Pls do not reblog anything with the old disability pride flag, it does cause seizure and migraines, please use the new one which was created by the same person with the feedbacks of many other disabled people.
This is the safe one:
Dont use the zigzag one, your making disabled space inaccessible for a part of the community.

patch notes 1.0.1: visual contrast no longer causes strobe effect when scrolling. Zigzag design was difficult to visually process and anxiety inducing, and was removed. Colors have been lightened and desaturated. For the safety of all users, please make sure you are up to date.
Sir:
Is there anything in S2 that will really get the “Christians” in a uproar, thereby providing a lot of extra publicity when they try to get Netflix to cancel it?
All hail Gaiman. 🙏🏻
I honestly don't know. If you'd told me that a black Adam and Eve would be the tipping point for some people for Season 1 I wouldn't have believed you.
