not making each other better nor making each other worse but a secret third thing (molding each other surreptitiously until you’re two halves of an inseparable whole)
might go rewatch the aaron and robert affair to feel something

roy telling rebecca she deserves someone that makes her feel like she’s been struck by fucking lightning 🤝 rebecca telling roy to stop standing in his own way and he deserves to be happy
COLIN HUGHES IS FINALLY GAY CANON HOLY SHIT I CANNOT BREATHE
colin hughes is for everyone who’s stood in a locker room and listened to ‘that’s so gay’, ‘oh my god! what if there was a lesbian in here’, ‘no homo’ all played off as jokes you’re meant to laugh at. colin hughes is for everyone who’s had to join in to blend in and hates that they laughed and hates the comments they made. colin hughes is for everyone who’s had to spend years being a bloody chameleon.
"nothing matters so do what you love and be kind" is the single most viscerally impactful message i have ever gleaned from consuming media and i'm going to live every day with that kind of hopepunk nihilism for the rest of my life
Everything everywhere all at once is a film about a girl ripping the entire universe apart just to find a part of her mother that she feels understands her. And everything everywhere all at once is a film about a mother ripping the entire universe apart just to understand her daughter. And my chest feels like it’s caving in when I think about it too long
Sir, you've said that you're a gardener, rather than an architect. How do you handle things like foreshadowing, leaving clues, fixing plot holes and such?
You just write them as you go along. Take a look at Sandman. It has all that stuff in it, and was being written (and published) as I went along.

Thank you so much for answering, Mr. Gaiman!
I've recently started "American Gods", and the way you're telling the story seems so spontaneous and yet so premeditated that I wanted to ask you that. I'll definitely pick up Sandman after finishing it!
Thank you. It's not that you are writing into blankness all the time. You know the story you are going to tell, but you want room to surprise yourself.
Think of it as driving from Miami to Seattle. You know where you are going. You know the shape of the route, and some of the people you will stop and see on the way. But you don't know everything that will happen as you go, people in diners you hadn't expected to meet or hitchhikers who travel with you for days, places you'll break down or find the roads blocked, times you'll hear about an amazing attraction just a few miles away you need to stop and see. You don't know how long it will take. And at the end of the journey you realize that honestly you don't need to go to Seattle and you really want to finish your journey on Vancouver island so you drive a little further...
E.L. Doctorow described writing a novel as driving through the fog with one busted headlight. But, he pointed out, if you keep going you'll reach your destination.
the insane thing about the babytrapping storyline in iwtv is that neither louis nor lestat were actually trapping the other because neither of them really wanted to leave and the only one who ended up truly trapped was the baby herself
neither alive nor dead but a secret third thing (at sea)
one thing about the last of us, they Will interrupt the main plot to flashback to the saddest, most poetic gay love stories anyone's ever seen. and i'm gonna eat it up every time
lost focus and had a consensual workplace relationship
Bi culture is never knowing what to choose. Ever.
