Idk who needs to hear this, but you are not damaged goods, you are not less than and you are not bread that is several days old. You are still you, you are worthy and will always be. You are wanted and you are needed, sometimes it is just a matter of figuring out where you fit in. You deserve to be appreciated and to feel appreciated, and you will, you just gotta hang in there and don’t give up. 🌸

Hi, Mr. Gaiman.

My best friend has recently left this world. I am (naturally) quite upset about it. His name was Nick. He was only 19. We had a lot of plans we won’t get to.

I apologize for sending you a message with this level of vulnerability, but as Good Omens is very much a comfort to me, and I have thrown self-awareness to the wind as a grieving person does, might I ask what advice Crowley or Aziraphale would give for times like this?

neil-gaiman answered:

They would tell you what I would tell you, which is to grieve, and let yourself grieve. And then, when your life returns, not to feel guilty for having a life, and not to feel bad about feeling bad either. Be there, and remember your friend.

I always tell people who are grieving to take care of themselves.

Because when I am deep in grief, it always feels like the hardest thing to do is to put myself first.

However, it’s what the person I am grieving would want me to do.

Honor that love and the pain it brings you by honoring yourself. Don’t forget to eat. Get enough sleep. If you have the energy, go take a shower and brush your teeth. Do those little things that will make you cry because they’re the little things the person you miss will never do again.

It’s okay to keep living when someone you love is dead. <3

So I find this advice to be beautiful, and perfect. When I was 19 a friend of mine was murdered, and this is the sort of advice that saw me through that dark time.

When I can, when someone I know has lost someone close and important, I send food. A hamper, or just meals from a nearby restaurant . Because I know that when death happens, the last thing most people want to do is prepare food or think about food and the thing all of them have to do is eat. And it's a practical thing I can do.

Uber eats saved me when my parents passed like I couldn’t fathom cooking when I could barely eat I’m still not fully cooking yet hell I don’t even sleep fully yet

Thr Wayne kids have been kidnapped so often that they have a rating list of which rouges are the better kidnappers.


Steph- Everyone thinks Two-Face is a criminal genius, but he spent so much time fighting with himself that I was able to walk right out the door

Damian- Cobblepot is my personal favorite. Sometimes I let myself be taken just so I can return the favor with his henchbirds. I've nearly amassed my own flock. How he hasn't noticed yet is beyond me.

Tim- Riddler likes to watch the people trying to get me back fight with his riddles, so I'm usually locked up in a quiet, dark cell. Alone. For hours. It's great. He sometimes gives me blankets and pillows and I'm able to make a little fort and just sleep.

Dick, holding up his hand- Harley gave me a manicure and we hate watched reality shows until Ivy came home and made her release me
