This Is Why I Read The Reddit Comments

At this point I would pay you to record ghosts series 2 and email it to me I want to watch it so bad

Hartley was supposed to be a main character? D:

YES and i’m going to be bitter about it for the rest of my life tbh

the original script for the pilot (which you can read here! it’s fun) had him as a fifth member of team flash. he likes to call barry “our potato” while he’s in his coma, which is so cute i might have to punch a wall.

in this version he creates the flash suit instead of cisco, inspired by a fire-fighter ex-boyfriend (who cisco liked):

he still went deaf the night of the particle explosion, so odds are they were going to have him become pied piper eventually? but whether it was going to be as a rogue or team flash, who knows

also he’s still a rich asshole and i love him

in summary: main character hartley was beautiful and we were all robbed, bring back hartley rathaway 2k17

Who gets that kind of proof of concept?

The fact that Microsoft Word has to be a subscription is upsetting. I already paid for it why do I have to pay again

People in fandoms* associated with Neil Gaiman are not showing each other the grace they should be in a stressful time, and I would like to remind people of some things:

Not everybody knows about the allegations because it is not being reported widely in mainstream media. Gaiman has engaged a PR/crisis management firm that has done work with Marilyn Manson, Russell Brand, and Danny Masterson to actively squash coverage.

The story broke on a site unfamiliar to a lot of non-UK people. There was confusion as well as outright misinformation about whether the site was a TERF outlet (it is not). While Rachel Johnson, the lead reporter on the story, is a TERF who has publicly clashed with Gaiman about trans rights, she has behaved responsibly and ethically as a journalist regarding this. I wrote more in depth about these things here.

Everybody deals differently with finding out creators are problematic. The method you prefer is not the only correct way of coping. Some people are able to divorce art from the creator and some people are not. This is an attitude that can change over time. And if you feel like you need to express frustration that somebody else's method isn't the same as yours? I would recommend shutting your fucking trap.

If people know about the allegations, it's shitty to assume they're ignoring them or think they're false until somebody explicitly says so. There are many things people don't say online, and you are not owed disclaimers or explanations.

Fandom is more than the work itself. Some people find strength in the community that has formed around it, and rely on each other to help cope with and grieve this loss. The love you have for the work and your fellow fans is not something that belongs to the creator. It never has and that can't be taken away.

Your personal relationship with a creator's work will change over time. That's inevitable regardless of whether they turn out to be problematic or not. And when those works are deeply significant and formative, like many of Gaiman's works are to me** and countless others? That's fucking tough. Be kind to yourself and others when working through this. I love you all.

* I have seen this in Good Omens most prominently, although I am sure there are other places where it is happening as well.

** I have been a fan of Gaiman's work longer than some of you have been alive. It has not been a great month or so.

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
