Didnt Have Neil Gaiman Accused Of Sexual Assault On My 2024 Bingo Card, But Also Not Surprised

Didn’t have “Neil Gaiman accused of sexual assault” on my 2024 bingo card, but also not surprised

People said that Tumblr isn't a great place to post original art that isn't fanart, but I'm doing it anyway because I haven't got the motivation to draw anything else

Happy pride month lads! 🧡💛🤍💙

Just kiss him, motherfucker. It's what you want!

Bonus: McCoy being grabbed by tentacles (again):

And then Spock makes him eat the tentacle...

I'm sure you saw him eating more moving things, Spock. I'm sure you did...

me taking notes on how to characterize Spones from Diane Duane's The Wounded Sky: I see...so according to Jim, Bones is "geared to receiving" while Spock is "oriented toward giving" understood 👍

I want to share my thoughts on the recent allegations, because of the reaction I'm seeing on here. okay so right off the bat: if your reaction to this has been to immediately believe the victims and to revoke support for Gaiman and his work, that's good. believe the victims, even when it's against someone you looked up to. don't let the fact you personally like or respect someone to blind you to these things. however, these accusations have a lot wrong with them. they come from a known tabloid website filled with ads, written by the terf sister of Boris Johnson. Every article sources this tabloid or the true crime podcast it links to, neither of which are reputable. The accusations also coming just shy of a week off the stars of his most well known show (and by extension himself) being attacked at all sides by right wing organizations, really hinders any credibility to me. The fact that they're coming out now of all times is really suspicious to me. Having said that, I think the bit of truth, him having dated a teenage fan and his childrens nanny, does make me think he's not as great as i once thought. The extent of the claims still seems exaggerated for the article, but that bit of truth is making me think less of him. tl;dr, the sourced article was written by a terf for a tabloid. There can be some truth to it, but wait until there's actual evidence, and until this develops further

This is the only thing I’m going to say on the matter of Neil Gaiman for now:

The accusations against him are awful. If they are true, I wish the victims nothing but the best. I am not going to speculate about whether or not they’re true, because that would be incredibly disrespectful. What I am going to do is wait until we have more information before saying anything definitive. Because from my understanding (and correct me if i’m wrong,) this information is coming from a single true crime podcast that almost no one has actually listened to in full and does not seem like an incredibly reliable source of information. I am not defending Neil in any way here, but I do think it’s important to always take the time to gather information from multiple sources, *especially* with something as serious as this.

Also, if you’re one of the people going “oh no what does this mean for Good Omens season 3??” Literally shut the fuck up, put your phone down, and go outside. That is not even remotely important right now and it’s an incredibly insensitive and tone-deaf thing to say.
