"I was putting lots of queer and trans characters in because my friends were queer and trans and they weren't in comics so I was gonna put them in comics." Hearing that just warmed my heart so much. One thing I really appreciate in general about the Sandman and Dead Boy Detectives, e.g., is the fact that several queer characters exist in all shapes and forms, so to say, and it being completely normal. Because as George said, usually queer characters in media are quickly sexualized. Or they're stereotyped, have no distinct personality, ... So, watching The Sandman and Dead Boy Detectives felt really refreshing and freeing, and I can't thank you enough for it.

Couldn't have said it better

[@cupcaketv5673]

@@luiiiandmovieee Ty :)♡ I also wanna add to my original comment, forgot to mention it before, that I also appreciate how they said that there's nothing tragic about anybody's sexuality [in the show]. To hear this also felt healing to me personally, partly due to past experiences, and partly also because I feel like usually, when a movie/show doesn't sexualize/stereotype queer characters, they add a big tragedy regarding the characters's queerness (like big arguments when coming out / the time period not allowing them to be themselves / etc.) Or they do both. And while I know that it's important to represent that as well and that there are many shows etc out there that do it well, it was still an amazing feeling to just see queer characters be themselves without any big consequences to it. Don't get me wrong, I know there's still lots of angst in this show and I really like the way they did all of it, but it's just different from what I've usually seen in other shows/... I hope what I said is understandable 😅

[@luiiiandmovieee]

@@cupcaketv5673 dw I know 100% what you mean and I feel the same. Like you said, of course it's good and important to show the struggles that come with being queer so that ppl feel seen. But here it's so great just to see queer characters who are not "tragically queer". It kinda feels like we can exist without worry and we don't need to apologize for it or explain ourselves and that's normal and okay and good

RENEW THE SERIES IMMEDIATELY

Yes please! But I have a bad feeling that they won't.... Even in the UK, it hasn't been Number one here, everyone is watching Baby Reindeer (yay also) and The Gentleman instead. :(

The pure love between Edwin and Charles on the staircase was emotionally perfect.

[@luiiiandmovieee]

I almost cried when Neil was talking about the queer representations in his stories. Because as a queer person myself it's so wonderful that now stories like dead boy detectives and sandman can exist. Where being queer is normal and not a weird stereotypical thing or their only personality trait. Stories like these feel like we're actually seen and I just love to live in a time where it's possible

[@ajunicee]

george is so funny 😭 i love this series and how beautiful it looks, and the chemistry all of the cast has. please everyone keep watching this, i need a season 2

[@8r0k3n1]

as a young queer kid in the 90's, it meant so much to me that there were character I could relate to in Neil Gaimans work. The Death series was my absolute fave and I bought so many copies as I kept giving it to all my friends to read.

[@salamandra4942]

The show is very enjoyable and has a wonderful cast. I hope they renew it for a season 2. We must collaborate sharing it everywhere so the show can have as many views as possible during the first weeks (we can't trust Netflix and its unrealistic expectations of views)

[@kimmykaypunkin]

Loved this show!!! I am ready for season two for sure. I think the character development is exceptional and everyone will connect to different things. I connected with Jayden’s ducky 80’s character, the supernatural/horror aspect, and the anime connection especially. Seeing Ruth from Supernatural was a bonus as well.

[@bluecombats]

The one question I'd love to ask Neil is the postman is very effective at finding ghosts, surely Death would use the postman to find the boys if Death wished. Is it more of a proximity thing with Death thats the problem?

[@NoFirstNoLastName]

I mean, Yuri on Ice doesn’t have a manga, but a lot of people don’t realize how many animes don’t have manga because manga is not as easily accessible so I will give her a pass for that one, because Yuri on Ice is a great reference.

It's kind of a shame that the makers have to send peoples audition tapes to Netflix to get the go ahead for hiring people they want to cast. Doesn't speak for much creative freedom. I know that they should be involved, but on the other hand if I was making it, I'd be like "Don't you trust me? Just take a lot at what I've filmed already" lol
