C: “ I mean, clearly the Almighty wants these children dead, what with their capacity for evil and stuff; so by saving them all, I’m actually going against the Ineffable Plan.”
A: “…You’ve clearly outwitted me this time. I must accept my defeat with grace…”
If the writer says they love each other, it’s because they love each other.
People: they’re gay right?
Neil Gaiman: Absolutely not.
People: oh :c
Neil Gaiman: They’re genderless. They’re nonbinary icons. They’re in love but they’re above our petty human concepts of gender and sex.
like………i’ve seen people be angry about him saying they aren’t gay as in,,,,two men that are romantically/sexually involved,,,,but like,,,as a nonbinary person,,,,i feel honestly kind of liberated by the concept??? like i call myself gay all the time of course but its not ever gonna be how some people use the term.i can love men and women and other nonbinary folk and i can be gay but, that will never fully encompass my sexuality. of course it wouldn’t for celestial/divine/occult beings….they may have preferred pronouns and forms,,,but they can change that at will basically,,,as we’ve seen
people who are mad, like I get it. we need that REPRESENTATION and it sometimes feels like it can be a cop out….but also,,,,,
tHEY’RE NONBINARY AND IN LOVE AND THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS

Lalo visits Albuquerque in 1990. He sees an 18 years old Nacho who barely looks up from the floor while Lalo scolds a 20 years old Tuco (“Ay, why would tío let a kid run this place?”) Varga is a pretty young thing, looks strong enough too, but there’s this glint in his eye when he finally raises his head to say something to Tuco. Lalo never forgets it.
In 1990, Lalo would call him mi ángel, mi cielito. Nacho would be blushing hard, and then going out of his way to look tough and impress Lalo. Lalo who would say “You still have a long way to go, cielito. But tell you what! Keep that up and who knows, maybe next time we meet I’ll call you by your name”.
Nacho in his early cartel years would already be smart, but terribly, terribly dumb if a handsome, powerful older man started paying attention to him. He hasn’t been shot yet, he hasn’t bled for the Salamancas. His dad is still none the wiser that he’s slipping dirty money into the cash register at the shop.
Nacho is 18, going on 19, and on a power high. His usually sharp senses would absolutely fail him.
