you know i hate tumblrs “i hope they do something problematic” shit so much? its not only with people like thomas sanders or john mulaney or that comic guy with the bike, but with whole ass shows and projects? like nobody ever said b99 is cop propaganda. nobody was saying that until one single person mentioned it and suddenly its the worst show you could watch because of one aspect of their show, while ignoring the shows diversity and political stances.

same happened to dream daddy, like you cant deny that that game was groundbreaking for the lgbt society, but suddlenly some people started shit like ‘uhhh but 5 years ago the game grumps made transphobic jokes’ and ‘you know that joesph is actually a satanist, right?’ and suddenly no one talked about the game anymore?

everytime someone tries their fucking best to be inclusive, diverse etc. people are digging through everything they can find just to justify that they dont like it? overwatch recently hosted a huge event to raise money for breast cancer research in association with the BCRF and without even doing one second of research people accused them of working with the susan g. komen foundation (which wasnt true) and tried to boycott a fucking charity event?

what im saying is, dont let tumblr ruin everything you love because they are bitter

what’s the list of weird shit Kris has done? eating entire pies, drinking the choir juice, and hiding under Noelle’s bed for a start, but what else?

nochocolate:

you have no idea how badly we wanna compile this. this is probably one of my favourite things in the game, and proof that kris is a disgusting gremlin child. 

off the top of my head, a few others (possibly slightly inaccurate since going off memory):

  • kris told noelle that ice-e is real and eats children or something
  • kris put ketchup on their arm and told noelle it was blood
  • stole chocolate kisses from toriel’s room so she has to keep her door locked
  • kris just basically doesn’t talk – noelle thinks kris is talking so much in the end portion that they might be unwell (suggesting they only really start talking when we start playing?)
  • like you said, kris only goes to church for the “sick” fruit juice and then proceeds to not participate at all
  • they liked to stick their fingers in the hole of metal picnic benches… does that count?

there are so many more things but i forgot to list them all. help me out by replying to this post/sending asks with more weird kris behaviour!

definitely making a big post about this at some point.

Have you heard of some of the Coraline theories? Like the theory that Coraline is struggling to cope with the death of her parents and refuses to believe they’re really gone, hence the rotten groceries. There are a few others but I don’t have too many characters to get through them all, if you haven’t checked out the Theorizer on Coraline you should. Pretty interesting. Are you in a position to confirm or deny these theories? Or are we all just looking into it too much?

neil-gaiman:

I wrote the book. Henry Selick wrote the film, and made it with hundreds of people. Since that time millions of people have read the book and enjoyed the film, and some of them have come up with lots of glorious theories and some of them get sent to me, (many of these Coraline theories, if they were true, would preclude other Coraline theories, equally as glorious). 

And there aren’t just glorious theories. There are also barking-mad theories. There are even theories I find on the one hand barking-mad and offensive, but on the other hand sort of sweet, as people obviously put lots of time and effort into deciding that (for example) watching Coraline will brainwash you, or whatever.

And my conclusion is that I don’t think I need to be part of this conversation. It’s fan-fiction, on a large scale, and fan-fiction should, I think, exist apart from the author. So I am glad the theories are out there, even the barking-mad ones. (But watching Coraline will not turn you into an Illuminati mind-slave.)
