Arthur: You know why I had to put you in the dungeons, right?
Merlin: Yeah, we are playing ‘escape the dungeon’ again! So much fun!
Arthur: nO! We do not play ‘escape the dungeon’! Stay put!
Merlin: I bet I can my beat my last record!
Arthur: Stop! No more endangering my guards! They are all already going in a panic attack when they are just told to stand guard in the dungeons!
Merlin: Meh. Then don’t put me in the dungeons anymore!

Destiel is like if you were a child and you said to your parent are we getting McDonald’s and they said. No. And you said awwww man. And then you looked out the window and said wait but there’s a McDonald’s right there are we getting McDonald’s? And they said. No. And then you pulled into the parking lot for McDonald’s and you go so we’re getting McDonald’s :) and they say. No. And then go use the McDonald’s bathroom without making a purchase while leaving you in the car. And you keep driving and pull into a different McDonald’s into the drive thru line and your parent orders food for you and when you get it you go Aw yeah McDonald’s! And your parent says why the fuck do you think we’re getting McDonald’s. You’re crazy. You’re insane. You’re also a pervert. And yanked your fries out of your hands and tossed them out the window. But at the end of the day. You did. You did get McDonald’s

Hi Mr. Gaiman, I've seen a few tweets and posts about not crossing the picket line for the WGA strike but nothing actually explaining what that entails for this strike? Is it not watching streaming services since that's one of the main issues? All tv? TV and movies? only new stuff or reruns too?

No, it's to not cross the picket lines literally. If there's a writers guild picket in place, you don't cross it. (But you can always join it -- especially if you are in LA or NYC.)

The WGA hasn't called for a boycott of streaming services or TV or anything like that, and until and unless they do I wouldn't push for that.

What the WGA would like is for people to make their support for the writers clear and loud -- write to the networks you watch on and tell them to treat their writers fairly, post your support on every social media outlet you can. Let the producers know that public opinion is against them.

Almost all of my favorite shows (Rise, Dark Crystal, Inside Job, Infinity Train) were cancelled…BY NETWORKS! Not by writers! Heck! The writers WANTED TO KEEP GOING! To keep making their characters, their art, and their stories told.

Writers are no the problem. Artists are not the problem. They almost never are! Corporations are the problem. Execs are the problem. So many great shows get sabotaged by their own studio (I.E. Rise of the TMNT) and then the studio turns around and acts as though it was the lack of fan engagement. It’s why I tend to watch shows that were made years in the past. They created the problem and now they’re scapegoating writers.

If studios gave up on every show that had a lackluster first season that didn’t pull in the numbers…we wouldn’t have had classics like the Office, OR Parks and Recreation, OR Brooklyn 99. It took a while for those shows to get good.

Writers WANT to create! It’s the studios/corporations that are the problem. It’s A.I. art that is the problem!

Reward writers! Reward artists! Support them! Not the big company’s that don’t respect them!

And don’t ever give up the fight for what you want!
