It’s a New Year and with it comes a fresh opportunity to shape our world.

So this is my wish, a wish for me as much as it is a wish for you: in the world to come, let us be brave – let us walk into the dark without fear, and step into the unknown with smiles on our faces, even if we’re faking them.

And whatever happens to us, whatever we make, whatever we learn, let us take joy in it. We can find joy in the world if it’s joy we’re looking for, we can take joy in the act of creation.

So that is my wish for you, and for me. Bravery and joy.

And you are all I ever remember.

↪The Doctor’s Companions

(via neverwhyonlywho)

“Do not listen to a word I say

Just listen to what I can keep silent

The only way to gain approval

Is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me

And I stare at the sky

And it leaves me blind

I close my eyes

And this is yesterday

Someone somewhere soon will take care of you

I repent, I’m sorry, everything is falling apart

Houses as ruins and gardens as weeds

Why do anything when you can forget everything

And I stare at the sky

And it leaves me blind

I close my eyes

And this is yesterday

I stare at the sky

And it leaves me blind

I close my eyes

And this is yesterday”

You can preorder signed copies of this poster now at DFTBA Records.

The incredibly complicated, tri-continental story of this poster will be told in today’s vlogbrothers video, but basically: I wrote a book, then a 16-year-old nerdfighter from the Philippines named Nica was inspired to make artwork depicting Hazel and Augustus, and then a young nerdfighter from Norway named Ashild turned it into a poster and added the quote from TFiOS.

So basically this poster captures the strange and wonderful way that tumblr facilitates the making of strange and wonderful things. (All preorders will be signed by me, naturally, due to my signing addiction.)

If you do not think that Mr. Nancy is one of the cooler gods to have appeared in witty/delightful novels then you are wrong and you can just sit there and be wrong in your wrongness.

I have the has-to-be-wrong feeling that this is the first fan-art picture of Mr Nancy I’ve seen. So glad to see him cropping up.

I read Anansi Boys for the first time last year this month (give or take). Thus began The Year of All Things Neil. And Amanda… and it’s not over yet!

closed my eyes
and felt the bookshelf with my hands
to grab a random book from the clute shelves to send me off to bed.

I can’t believe this is the fucker that I pulled out.

Not Shaw! If only it’d been Chesterton!

Matt Smith and Neil Gaiman having breakfast. Not pictured: John Hodgman. This has been a weird morning.

It was weird for you? Listen, someone took a photograph of me having breakfast and I did not know.

I’ve got to get out for breakfast more. In London. Or Cardiff.

amandapalmer:

due to my arrival in paris, some sad sad croissants, care of @indecisean.

Aww, they’re sad. We must eat them…
