Blog: A student of mine asked me if we could read a scary book as our last novel study of the school year, and I want to teach them Coraline. Do you have any advice on teaching a class of fifth and sixth graders the novel? I am trying not to get too excited about it because I get to teach them my favorite writer and one of my favorite books to teach. from

Blog: I don’t know if you tolerate pedantry but you just reblogged the bee orchid comic which is a pet peeve of mine. I’ve done a bad job of explaining it previously but 1) that specific species of bee orchid is only like that in the british isles and norn Europe, the bee still exists and pollinates the orchid in southern Europe. It’s more likely it was able to move that far north by backing out of that crazy strategy. 2) Ginkgos never had pollinators, in fact their pollination biology is exceptionally bizzare for other reasons. I respect what the OPs are going for in that post. But the info’s not quite accurate. Like Gingos are perhaps the one organism that’s existed unchanged and with good fossil evidence longer than any other, so of all plants to say something about is biology was different in the past, it’s like the one I would never choose. from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 9 months agoPoint taken. But if you tell me that Giant Ground Sloths didn’t eat avocados and poop out the pits you will break my heart.

Blog: hey neil! as filming for series 2 is ongoing, me and my others are wondering about when a trailer is dropping. but that got me wondering when exactly in the production process a trailer is made? I’d suspect it to be after all production is finished, but I thought I’d ask just in case I’m incorrect. when, at least in your experience working with shows and movies, is a trailer produced? from

Blog: I thought you changed your profile picture, or that I had followed another Neil Gaiman Tumblr account. But it was just Tumblr having fun and mirroring the profile pictures of those that asked you questions onto the usual location of your profile picture. Today you have been… a painting of Aristotle teaching, another man, maybe in his 30s, with less hair and glasses, a vegetable that when sliced resembles something like a wagon wheel, and a stick drawing of a demon named Crandle. from

Blog: Hi Mr. Gaiman! (I already wrote to you on Twitter but I didn’t know if it had reached you) I would like to ask you one thing: when Aziraphale discorporates, then essentially ‘loses’ his body, why is he not in his angelic essence as a soul, but keeps the aspect he had in his human body? from
