former cartoonist, died in an awful tiger tragedy

Ghost with the most

Ok, stay with me- I only had one all-grey jacket and it’s a rain jacket, plus it clashed with the skirt, so I opted to go with the shirt George is wearing the first time Marty meets him in 1955:

(He’s wearing khakis as he’s biking away!)

With a moon necklace because he’s always daydreaming about space!

George and His Cereal

The sweet scent of warm peanut butter and something else he can’t put his finger on greets George when he walks through the door.

It is not a common scent he has encountered. 

And it doesn’t smell like peanut butter cookies.

Linda drops the empty Corn Flakes box in the trash. The cake pan cooling on the stovetop clatters when she drops it in front of him.

“Honey,” he says carefully as she cuts out the corner, “what did you do with my cereal?”

was he cool? was he stupid? was he queercoded? was he boring? was he a role model? a loser?

Rock music, skateboards, butting heads with authority figures at high school, a girlfriend… it’s all pretty template-standard for an older Gen X teen. He was a little bit of an outsider, I think, in the implication that Jennifer, Doc, and his rock band were possibly his only social connections, but that’s not really that unusual. Even then you had a lot of the same high school archetypes of jock, prep, nerd, etc back then that still exist today. Marty was probably that kid with the guitar who sat in the common area at lunch break strumming it. Every school had one. Hell, my rural high school in 1998-2002 had several.

A 🔞 horror novel about a starving boy and the many hands around his neck.

"You put your prayers on a wolf, you'll only make it hungrier for you."

In the wake of his mother's death, Nelly drowns in the palms of his small religious town where folks believe wolves stalk the woods to punish selfish, godless men. At home, Nelly's resentful uncle keeps Nelly on a tight leash while the townsfolk sing the man's praises. At night, Nelly sneaks out to catch glimpses of the new neighbor who has taken to feeding Nelly like a stray animal. Deep down in his rotten red insides, Nelly knows he is a wolf.

I did his 5 head a bit too small but its whatever 🥀 also THANK YOU I THINK YOUR ART IS PRETTY SWELL AS WELL 🥹🩷 ( And thank you for the request also!! :D )

Comments like these are why we should never ever EVER stop talking about the allegations. Because people forget, and apologists and misogynists will use that to downplay the seriousness of the heinous shit this man did to women for decades. And, sooner or later, Gaiman himself will use that to try and make a comeback, which will once again allow him access to a lot of vulnerable people for him to take advantage of.

In the wake of GO3 I've seen a lot of talk about how NG very likely measures the value of his writing with how strong emotions he manages to rouse from his audience, and he doesn't actually care what exact emotions they are. I agree with this view, but that's a topic for a whole other post (which I probably won't make, sorry).

What matters here is that the broadly understood showbusiness kind of looks at things that way too. On the one hand, powers that be prefer to avoid too much controversy. But on the other, things that caused strong reactions are worth keeping in mind for them.

Which means that we have helped NG stay on the map by very emotionally discussing the finale.

I am not saying we shouldn't have, or judging anybody. I have joined the discussion myself, engaging with the topic for the first time since the allegations came to light. Discussing problematic media and media by problematic creators is a proper paradox you cannot solve - because it's bad if you do and it's bad if you don't (a topic for another post, oh dear...)

What I'm saying is, we cannot make it easier for him to wiggle his way back in.

HE. CANNOT. WIGGLE. HIS. WAY. BACK. IN.

We cannot let him.

Here are a few simple things I think we can do:

Regarding Good Omens - we do not ask for original S3 scripts to be released!!!

Please, I am begging you all! This is important!

I know a lot of people have a lot of reasons to want to know what the S3 would be like if it had full six episodes. But it genuinely terrifies me when I see voices - and I do see them! - that Amazon should release original scripts.

Do not open that door for him!

Firstly, do you really think a serial rapist has something to say about love and humanity that is worth your time? Secondly, even if he had, he doesn't deserve a chance to make ANY money from it.

In general - just keep talking about it! Don't let it be buried and forgotten!

There are two things that really weight on my heart here, so I am going to use this opportunity to let it out.

First: please, for the love of God, cut the crap about "respecting Gaiman's real victims"!

I know it sounds like a beautiful and noble sentiment, but from what I've seen in the last two years this line is almost exclusively used to silence someone up. I know most people aren't doing it on purpose, they just genuinely find it distasteful how people speak about the whole thing, and in many cases I agree.

But the truth is, the most disrespectful thing is to not talk about it at all.

You feel that people who write detailed analysis of why GO3 was an emotional abuse are out of touch with reality and disrespectful towards women Gaiman physically abused? It doesn't matter. They address the fact that Gaiman is an abuser and that matters. Whether you like it or not, they keep the conversation going. So don't use Gaiman's victims as a tool to shut that conversation down just because it offends your sensibilities.

You feel that people complaining their show had a bad ending or was cancelled have their priorities wrong and have no respect for Gaiman's real victims? It doesn't matter. It still spreads the word. Does it really matter to you if someone who didn't know what Gaiman did will learn about it from someone bitching about how they are sad about their show or from a beautiful essay about the victims?

Which brings me to the second thing:

Remember that modern internet is very good at keeping up walls between people with different interests and keeping people inside their bubbles. The most important thing is not to find the smartest and the most eloquent argument while preaching to the choir, but to reach people outside our bubble!

You will probably do much more good by dropping the info casually in a place where it might not come up otherwise, then discussing it where it is already discussed.

I am not saying you to go and shout about NG under a curry recipe or sewing tutorial, but, you know, when you have an opportunity to bring him up in space where it makes sense to bring him up, do it!

I didn't expect to write so much...

Little thing I made for myself to get better at drawing Doc. Plus just having a bit of a reference sheet for his main outfits through out the movies. (And game) I would've done all his wardrobe but then this would take way longer so had to keep it to one outfit per movie. (With the exceptions of his 1986 fit since that also comes from the 3rd film and technically his 1955 and 1985 counterparts respectively.) Maybe I'll touch on his other outfits at another time.) Fun time! Though tricky with getting enough reference shots to recreate the outfits. XD I looked at both movies and even some figures just to get details down. And took liberties here and there. Prolly the hardest ones were 1985 and 1885 due to the amount of detailing needed for the equipment on them. (Especially that rifle on his 1885 self. Goooosh don't get me started.) Overall, very pleased with the results.
