amphibian, on 16 January 2025 - 08:17 PM, said:Talking about the two things at the same time is not ideal without something that connects to the people who've been hurt - who are the epicenter of this much more than the fandom or friends.
This was why I very quickly stopped reading social media about it - a whole lot of people talking about how their feelings as fans have been hurt, rather than any mention of his victims. I'm not saying those people don't care about the victims and don't abhor his actions, and yes it's fine to have feelings about what Gaiman's works may have meant to you, but it feels a little off for a big portion of the discourse to be only that. -

I had my initial screening appointment for my autism assessment yesterday. Wound myself up all week ahead of it only for the lady to be absolutely lovely and agree to a referral very straightforwardly. I'm not sure how much the 45 minute interview affected things since she said I'd scored well above the points threshold they want to see to recommend referral in the pre-screening questionnaire.
My fellow Brits on here will appreciate how exceptionally well behaved I was in ignoring the urge to ask if points meant prizes
Joking aside, it feels nice to have passed that particular hurdle. Now I have a very long questionnaire to fill in and another one for my mum and Mr NAB to do, then it's an 11-12 week wait from the point they get the paperwork back from me to get the assessment appointment. I didn't realise that the process is to interview me and my informant (my mum) at the same time, and then the two assessors compare notes and report back with their findings.
Going to know one way or the other by the summer! -

Something I noticed this morning was that seemingly in response to people doing the "Terry Pratchett must have known" sort of nonsense, was the sharing of quotes by author Robert Rankin (who I gather was friends with Pratchett) basically supporting the claims made that they weren't friends, they collaborated professionally on one book in the 1990s, Gaiman barely warranted more than a couple of sentences in the recent memoir that Pratchett's assistant wrote, and that he apparently said that he wished he'd never collaborated with Gaiman (though didn't expand on why) and once joked about setting up a support group for those who had "survived a collaboration" with him.
I don't know when the conversations were supposed to have happened, but thought it was worth noting. -

The original accusations were bad enough, but so much of that is beyond disturbing. And I agree with QT's assessment of Amanda Palmer from that as well. She I previously thought might be halfway decent, if odd.
I hope there are legal consequences for both of them - and I feel so sorry for their son, who really shouldn't be around either of them.
A slightly odd thought crossed my mind, in that part of me is glad Terry Pratchett didn't live to see all this come out. -

There was an article in the Guardian today about rumours of re-casting T'Challa for future films. The article talked about the possibilities of a variant T'Challa now we're well into multiverse territory.
I've been out of Marvel since Endgame (with the one exception of the Loki TV series) and I don't imagine me delving back in, but the article mentioned one idea I found really intriguing - which was bringing back Michael B Jordan as the variant T'Challa. Honours the original film and allows some exploration of the idea posited that Killmonger would have been a different person with a different upbringing.
I probably won't watch it either way, but I liked the idea (Jordan was one of the best things about the film for me, and it was one of the films I was most fond of). Thoughts?
