Hell yeah!
Every url that reblog’s will be written in a book and shown to my homophobic dad.
I feel a bit disassociated from most Tumblr discourse regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict because it mostly just feels rooted in absolute hatred of 'the other' - whether it be Israelis, Palestinians, Jewish people, Muslims, and/or anything else in between, and it's one big game of the oppression olympics, and that's game with absolutely no winners. It's just another race to the bottom, and too many folks seem to be willingly partaking in this...it's not gonna end well for anybody.
Hello Mr. Gaiman,
How old were you and Terry when you each first got published? Huge fan of both of your works and I’m always curious when my favorite authors first got published. As I get older I feel like any chance of finishing and publish something I’m proud of get slimmer. Thank you in advance if you answer and no worries if you don’t, I know you must get flooded with questions every day lol. ❤️
I was first published when I was 22, but didn't publish any fiction until I was 23. Terry was 15.
Like this man legit was butt ass naked during a fight with every other widely know superhero and wasn’t even remotely embarrassed , your honor I love him 😭

This is 8-year-old Abdulrahman. Family and friends say he was delightful and had a spontaneous personality. He loved praying in the mosque.
Abdulrahman was killed by the Israeli occupation. Rest in peace 💔🇵🇸
Every time I read advice on how to properly write guns, I am once again reminded that I’ll never be able to have a character use two guns at once 😭
Guns are always always written wrong because, well, they’re guns, and most people don’t actually get to shoot regularly to figure out how to write them.
So. Here’s some chaotic gun facts.
1. When a gun fires, it is SO HOT. IT WILL BURN YOU. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT will burn you. The bullet, the casing, the barrel. It’s fricking hot.
2. You don’t pull the trigger, you squeeze it.
3. You have to be relaxed or your aim will suffer. Tense + Kick = hot casing hitting you in the face and also you were afraid of the kick and adjusted before you even pulled the trigger and oops now you missed and ow that casing hit your face AND IT HURT
4. Every gun fires differently. You need years of practice with YOUR GUN to be comfortable with it, and someone else shooting with your gun will throw off their aim UNLESS they have practiced for YEARS WITH all the guns.
5. It is kind of as simple as point and shoot but it is also so much not
6. GUNS ARE SO LOUD. So loud. even with ear protection they are so so so loud.
7. It looks cool to dual wield pistols but that is NOT a beginner thing please go try it with BB Guns or something first aiming would be so so so hard
8. Most handguns only have around 15 rounds and if they jam you’re in trouble and unjamming a gun is such a problem and not that easy and it takes a heck of a lot of strength to actually even load a gun
9. Seriously, look up how to load a magazine. The grip strength and thumb strength you’ll need are crazy.
10. Ammo is expensive, and each type of gun takes a different kind of ammo/has a different kind of bullet
11. THERE ARE SO MANY KINDS OF BULLETS dang son and each one does a different thing hollow point vs buck shot they’re very different. So very very different.
12. I mentioned you’d get burned by guns because of how hot they are but like, you’ll also get burned by the bullet if you get shot??? Like that will hurt in more ways than one it’s more than just piercing damage okay?
13. Guns are heavy. Hand guns are heavy. Rifles are even heavier. I haven’t shot a shotgun but I imagine it’s as heavy at least as a rifle. Any character you have constantly carrying guns or using them should also be regularly at the gym lifting weights
Anyway.
Guns are often written incorrectly.
I’m sure there’s more and I am by no means a gun expert, so double check any and all of this please.
But in case you were wondering, here are some chaotic gun facts to help you write your crime/suspense stories.
