okay, no disrespect to Neil or the nyt, but i think THE place to start is The Graveyard Book. Sandman, American Gods, and Neverwhere are some of my favorite stories, but they’re also pretty long and meandering at times, whereas The Graveyard Book feels like a distillation of some of Neil’s best ideas and themes into a tight package that’s also a chill read because it’s written for all ages. it’s one of those rare books like The Hobbit or The Giver that really transcends age-range and has something of value for everyone. it’s also the only book to win both the Newbery Award for children’s fiction *and* the Hugo Award for Sci-fi/Fantasy literature, which honestly shows you just how universal of a story it is.
Neil Gaiman is my favorite author, and The Graveyard Book is always the book i recommend because it’s a short, accessible read that is representative of his style and leaves you both wanting more and primed to jump into his longer works. so yeah, go read it!
knowing enough about ships to be able to tell when a movie tall ship set is Bad is so distracting like when they’re all standing on a deck that’s way too big & empty and there aren’t nearly enough ropes or curves or anything. like unfortunately ships are characters to me so it’s like the same uncanniness as if they put a cardboard cutout instead of a guy
This, and forever being annoyed by cheesy bad art that shows a ship with every inch of canvas set (because that’s the only reference picture the artist has ever seen) either 2 feet away from a beach/a lee shore, or sailing during a violent storm like that.
Tragically, the whole crew died instantly before they could shorten sail.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
if hyth had been an ascian he would have greatly benefited everyone on all sides because he’d have been 100% onto fandaniel’s bullshit early on and just have calmly murdered him without a word said
elidibus: where’s fandaniel
hyth: he was planning to kill zodiark and restart the final days so I fed him to a morbol
Alien 1: “So you see, this is why we do not provoke the humans.”
Alien 2: “Yes, this is an insightful battle simulation training recording.”
Alien 1: “You misunderstand. The humans are not battle training. They are doing those things for entertainment only. For fun.”
Alien 2: “…What?… for entertain… Even the human young?!”
Alien 1: “Yes.”
Alien 2: “I… I understand now.”
This is awsome holy fuck
I mean, not just for fun, though.
Like, the fun helps, sure, but the three strongest motivators of the human race are “it was there,” “hold my beer,” and “they all said I couldn’t… so I did”.
And that’s probably pretty damn close to a perfect summary, here…
