I love Stardust, but I don’t feel like any of his other works are anything like it, you know? I don’t want to say it’s more whimsical, but I think there’s a more romantic aspect to it that I don’t get from his other stuff. Even Anansi Boys, another one of his lighter novels, still doesn’t feel anything like it. It’s…

If you’re not intimidated by the length, it’s not a bad place to start, but I think some of his shorter works like Stardust and Neverwhere (my personal favorite of Gaiman’s, aside from Sandman) are a better place to get your feet wet. Not that there’s anything wrong with a good long novel, but I find it can be harder…

I normally recommend Good Omens as a place to start, actually. It’s probably the “easiest” of his adult books to read. American Gods is my favorite, but it also requires you to be ok with meandering through a story full of fascinating characters. It’s a slower, more ponderous novel than his others, and some people…

“He did not so much fall, as saunter vaguely downward.”

Wait. WAIT. Good Omens on Amazon starring DAVID MOTHERFUCKING TENNANT AS CROWLEY? I had no idea this was remotely on the horizon. I am ready.

News flash: The myth that everything someone becomes was “taught” or “learned” by watching mommy and daddy is bullshit. Some people become assholes because they choose to be. Not everyone’s fuck up is directly related to daddy drinking too much and screaming at black people on tv in a dilapidated mobile home.

Although the books and to a certain extent, the show, make him out to be beloved and reasonable, they both kind of gloss over the fact that he abandoned his family to be brutally murdered just so he could “be with who he loved” and try to fulfill a stupid prophecy, a prophecy that essentially started a massive war…

Maybe I’m missing something, but was an annulment really even necessary? Rhaegar wouldn’t have been the first Targaryen to have two wives. I’ve thought for a long time that it was going to come out eventually that Rhaegar had taken Lyanna for a second wife so Jon would be legitimate. Unless he just wanted Jon to be…

Listening to other people rather than blowing them up for not following her suggests a level of rationality she doesn’t have.

Well I don’t know much about Westerosi law, but if the wedding was annulled, then wouldn’t they be deemed bastards because they were born retroactively out of wedlock? Then again, maybe “annulled” also just means “divorced”.

Annulment makes it as though the marriage never happened, though.

Tarly wasn’t xenophobic the Dothraki are an invading army known for raping and pillaging. It’s not just propaganda it’s true. These aren’t refugees they are an invasion force.

I spent my internship at a DV agency and we always had specialized trainings for cosmetologists. Oftentimes, abuse victims and people with severe depression will not only open up to their stylists, but the stylists will often see bruises and cuts from abuse and self harm that may be hidden by hair. We always gave them…

The same people complaining are the one’s who (rightly) jump down men’s throats when guys say shit like “I was a feminist ally till some bitch didn’t let me sit in on the ladies only drum circle” as if their misogyny was caused by 1 woman and 1 incident. Some people need introspection.

I am a little irritated by the praise heaped on very rich women for being able to maintain their looks as they age. I think we could all knock a few years off our appearance if we had a few spare million for skincare lying around.

I’m not sure her tweets were out of line. On the other hand, I do think they fall under the virtue signaling that the Root article is calling out. I think all us white people who don’t want to be part of the problem need to spend more time thinking about what concrete actions we can take within our realm of personal…

aging backwards is code for billionaire husband and the best plastic surgeons, I think

I have pretty big nipples. They always look ready to cut glass. And I’m Canadian. There is nothing like a Canadian winter to ensure that my nipples are always ready to salute.

I had no idea Jennifer Anniston and I had something in common, but I too suffer from Pointy Nipple Syndrome, whereupon one’s nipples are literally always erect. Those afflicted have two choices—exclusively wear heavy duty bras that will conceal this and never ever go braless no matter how tiny your boobs may be, or…

How does a rich, alcoholic New York comedian have such repetitive, boring stories?
