A. Everything Angel says about vampires is self-serving, and whether or not it's true is irrelevant to him as long as it serves his purpose and makes people do what he wants them to while making him seem like less of a monster

Rob James-Collier as Thomas Barrow

As someone who still loves Richard to death and /is actively writing barris fic on ao3/ I realize this is far from everyone, but it’s a damn large number, I’ll say that!!!

I know that all of us who love Thomas want to see him happy in the way we think best, and if the canonical ending doesn’t work for you in the film, that’s fine. That’s normal. AU fic is something I enjoy writing and reading myself. HOWEVER, the fact that this pedophile fic is currently one of The Most Popular? What the hell? It honestly leaves a gross taste in my mouth to see it.

I’m not about to police who’s queer or who isn’t or do anything dumb like that, but I will say this: if you’re queer and think Guy being a sexual predator is the best thing ever, read up on your history, read up on current events, take a step back and look at how you are being vilified and slandered by powerful right-wing media across the world still today, and if you aren’t queer? check your homophobia, check your biases, check your instincts on how you react to queer media.

he mentioned this letter in a recent interview with Pink News:

“I remember getting a very grumpy letter from the ‘Concerned Mothers of America’, informing us that due to the number of gay characters in Sandman they would be boycotting us and we had to repent,” he said.

he also mentions that again when Dream and Shakespeare were talking, at the end of the 1589 scene.

(and Ferdinand Kingsley’s response: “Do you know, Neil, it took me only 15 years to realize that, which is weird considering I’m from Stratford-upon-Avon and I only speak in iambic pentameter.” lol)

also found an ask where Neil said “It’s easier to hear than it is to see on the page.”
