qcrisis asked:

Hi there Neil! This is just a quick and very silly question, but you mentioned Aziraphale likes Stephen Sondheim musicals so I was just wondering which one do you suppose is his favorite if he has one?

Sincerely,

A Very Big Stephen Sondheim Fan Who Is Very Thrilled About This

neil-gaiman answered:

I think he really likes A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, because he liked Plautus and was a bit sad that Plautus didn’t seem to be writing any new plays anymore. He liked Anyone Can Whistle because it’s about belief and forgiveness and he liked Company and A Little Night Music because they seemed to shed some kind of light on the hardness and peculiarity of the human heart. He didn’t like Sweeney Todd, he wasn’t sure what to make of Assassins although he made a mental note to invite Crowley along to a performance, merrily we roll along he thought was upside down and back to front, he loved Pacific Overtures, was baffled by Passion, and rather enjoyed side-by-side by Sondheim because it felt a little naughty. These days his favourites alternate between Into The Woods, because it’s about stories, and Sunday In The Park With George although he’s never sure what to make of the Chromalune.

please do not send me asks about whether you think a founding member of AO3 is a “proshipper”

I’ve gone on at length before about how AO3′s refusal to punish honest labeling with deletion makes them the safest fanfic site for me. Consider the following scenario:

There are two brown paper bags in the company fridge. One of them contains a sandwich, and the other contains a dead dove. I am looking for a sandwich, and opening a bag with a dead dove in it will ruin my lunch hour.

In the AO3 fridge, it’s allowed to store dead birds as long as it’s a species that doesn’t violate the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Unless it violates the MBTA, the managers will not throw it out. The paper bag with the sandwich is labeled “sandwich” because it contains a sandwich. The paper bag with the dead dove is labeled “dead dove” because it contains a dead dove.

In the [insert any other large fanfic site] fridge, the managers will throw out any bag they find to contain a dead bird. The paper bag with the sandwich is labeled “sandwich” because it contains a sandwich. The paper bag with the dead dove is also labeled “sandwich” because there are tens of thousands of bags and the managers can’t look inside all of them. The managers also regularly throw out perfectly good chicken sandwiches, just in case.

I think this metaphor is also useful bc a lot of ppl think that sacrificing a perfectly good chicken sandwich is fine in the name of protecting people bc it’s just a sandwich - no matter how important it might have been to someone else or how many times someone gets their food thrown out or whether or not they can even get another one, it’s just a single sandwich, right? - often right until that sandwich was their lunch specifically

My kitten tried to kill my stuffed tribble. My roommate remarked that my tribble killing cat would make a great Klingon pet… and she’s right.

Imagine a Klingon ship having a cat that protects them from tribbles & vermin. They have to get the cat from a shelter run by humans and they’re like “This is the honorable Mr. Chonks”.

“Yes, our ship also has an earth feline. Her name is Carrot and she fights like a warrior.”

There’s absolutely a Klingon out there who lost an eye to a feral cat that he then adopted.

Klingons who go “pspspspsps” to get the Ship Cat to come hang out during break.

Orange Ship Cat that gets lost in the jeffires tubes and Klingon whose sole job is to go fetch the orange cat. He acts like he hates his job but he actually really adores his feline co-worker so much.

Klingon that always hands things to the Ship Cat so it can sniff it.

Klingon that intentionally grabs boxes to enrich Ship Cat’s little life. Sometimes they get multiple boxes and the crew bets on which box will be deemed “best box” by their fluffy little warrior.

Klingon that starts his work shift saying “Qapla'!” to Ship Cat who meows in return.

Newly Minted Ship Kitten climbing up to a Klingon Captain’s shoulder with her tiny needle claws while said Captain is attempting to be intimidating on the viewscreen.

Klingon who gets a head bunt from Ship Cat and gives it a head bunt back.
