im going to fucking die
I unironically love every second
I don’t know wtf i just watched but i love it with every fiber of my being
They played this song in my gym class tonight and I about died
With those “when you want to design a character but you don’t know color theory” posts flying around I thought this would be relevant again.
SLAMs THE REBLOG BUTTON
there’s also Coolors website that gives you randomized palettes!
Don’t forget ColourLovers, either! It’s a social media-esque site where you can browse tons of palettes and share your own.
You can browse the most popular ones or search for certain colors, themes, and even specific hex codes!
When you find one you like, you can download a wallpaper swatch of it and also select the specific colors it uses to look at more palettes that use those same ones.
ColourLovers is my go-to for when I’m having trouble coming up with a color scheme! It’s also been around for over a decade, so there’s plenty to browse through.

🔫🔫🔫 hand it over idiot
He’s one of the first authors to put a Trans protagonist in a mainstream comic book.
There’s a kindly elderly lesbian couple in Coraline (and he says they are lesbians).
The character he created for Spawn (now owned by Marvel) Angela, is a lesbian in a loving relationship with a trans woman.
And there’s Loki in Neil’s book on Norse Mythology.
There’s also quite a few LGBT+ characters in Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, which include:
Paul and Alexander Burgess (male couple),
Judy (lesbian),
Donna AKA Foxglove (lesbian),
Hazel (lesbian),
Cluracan (Bisexual),
Wanda (Trans woman),
Desire (Genderfluid and panasexual),
The Corinthian (gay),
John Constantine (bisexual),
All Neil Gaiman has said in the matter of Crowley and Aziraphale is that fans can interpret their relationship any way they want. Headcanons are your own. He just feels that to use human terms like gay / Straight / ect doesn’t actually fit because they aren’t human. So let’s make up a new LGBT+ friendly term for non-humans as he allows headcanons of all kinds and will not discourage them. How about Pan-Celestial? These characters only have gender if they will itand they only choose to be perceived as male. This is also true with Lucifer in the Sandman comics.
You mustn’t leap to conclusions. Neil has been an advocate for LGBT+ causes since the 80s (if not earlier).
Also Neil Gaiman is a MAJOR Bowie and Queen fan, so much so that his version of Lucifer (Basis for the Netflix character) was modeled after David Bowie.
Also Neil Gaiman, himself, clicked link on a post of mine about shipping Morpheus with Daniel from Sandman. Does that even remotely sound like a homophobe to you, kids?
When Tumblr wants to lynch someone they should REALLY learn the facts first, m’kay?
Get the fuck away from Neil. He is not only a supporter of fanfic writing but actually published a fucking collection of Sandman fanfic (one entry was given to him to read by the author at a book signing)
What the fuck??????
How do you go from “I will not give non-textual answers about my work” to “homophobic”? That’s a leap with no ground on either side of the gap.
God this site is full of entitled little fucks and I loathe all of you and your ignorant shit-filled ‘hot takes’ get O U T
Neil Gaiman listened to fans who read the book and said, “I read Good Omens and thought Aziraphale and Crowley might be in love” and went, “Huh, yeah” and then DELIBERATELY WROTE THEM AS SUCH IN THE ADAPTATION, INCLUDING ADDING IN EXTRA SCENES TO SHOW JUST HOW AND WHEN EACH FELL IN LOVE WITH THE OTHER, and you assholes are calling him a homophobe for saying “gay” isn’t an appropriate label as they are neither male, nor *human*, while confirming they are definitely in love and saying you can imagine that love taking any form you want?
What the everloving FUCK is wrong with your critical thinking skills? Did you just turn your whole brain off because you didn’t hear the only words you care about?
Getting REAL tired of younger people judging older media - especially older media with queer themes and queer characters - by today’s standards and deciding it’s Homophobic.
Good Omens specifically set out to be a very very faithful adaptation of the book, per Terry Pratchett’s wishes. Since he’s dead and can’t comment or approve changes. It still focused on the Aziraphale and Crowley relationship a lot more than the book did.
This is right up there with that whole kerfuffle here on Tumblr a few years ago about how Wanda from Sandman is Problematic because a trans character from 1991 is somewhat different from how one would write a trans character 25+ years later.
Anyway, OP and their friend - first person to reply on the thread - are now doing the “Ugh can’t you take a joke” thing while simultaneously doing the “Ugh, we’re TEENS, adults are so MEAN” thing, and I’m also getting some ace-exclusionist vibes.
So I’m going to go out on a limb and say this is more of the same “I don’t think it counts as queer unless they fuck” bullshit.
There are quite a lot of ace-exclusionist vibes from this, especially because he HAS confirmed it’s a love story between Aziraphale and Crowley, but how exactly that is is left up for interpretation but has also been confirmed to be non-sexual in nature.
So to them, it’s only ‘valid’ LGBT representation when it’s not asexual
“STOP CALLING ME AN IDIOT ENTITLED BABY, IT WAS A JOOOOOOKE!”
Dumbass.
Apparently also did not notice that a fan told Neil that Crowley and Aziraphale opened up a conversation with their parent who’d previously rejected their coming-out, and Neil almost cried and immediately said he’d pass it on to the actors.
Yeah, such a homophobe. 🙄
Also since I don’t see her mentioned, there’s a bisexual Native American woman in American Gods: Sam Black Crow. She’s as close to “neutral good” as the book has, and gives one of the most amazing monologues I’ve ever seen (folks who’ve read the book may recognize it if I call it the “I believe” monologue).
Likewise, in the TV adaptation, Bilquis is made explicitly bisexual, and Salim—a gay Muslim character in the book—is given a wonderful and expanded role, including actually getting something you never really see in queer TV: a romantic gay love scene. They had the chance to fade to black and instead went with something wonderful and transformational and refused to get squeamish over depicting an important aspect of Salim’s self-discovery, or to turn it into “look at these kinky gay freaks, being all GAY and shit.” It was just….there. Sex as a regular part of human (and divine) life, shared in this case by two men (well—a man and a djinn who presents as male, I don’t know if djinn have genders exactly).
So MISS ME with talking shit about Neil and queer inclusion. I will COME FOR YOUR FUCKING LIFE.
The missing platonic solids of tumblr – first row preexisting, second row mine.
(Anyone who wants to use these are icons need not ask, although I enjoy being informed that people liked the produce of my labor enough to do so!)
Good post, OP
Take care of yourself. And don’t trust strangers easily— it might be lethal! Being a girl is scary in so many ways. Yeah it can happen to men, but cmon they see females as an easier target.
I agree on this corrective asswhoopin
If you see this, don’t just sneakily tell the woman or the bartender. Shout for everyone to hear “Hey, you just put something in that drink!” While pointing at the person.
If a predator misses target number one they’ll just go for target 2. If you shame them out of the bar they’ll never come back.
And there is a solid chance of a collective asswhoopin, or an actual arrest for attempted rape.
When in doubt, make the biggest scene you can.
Ok that’s actually disgusting, here’s a link to their gofundme
Hey do y'all fucks remember two years ago when just before the election all these “don’t vote both parties are bad” or “vote independent!” Posts were going around and then Trump won and now two weeks before midterms there’s all these “don’t bother voting, revolution is the only way!” And “your vote isn’t gonna matter and is an ineffective way to protest” posts are going around? Yeah knock that shit right the fuck off, don’t fall for it and get your ass to the polls, we are not doing this again.
