    Gaiman's answer to the minotaur question has given me a very clear explanation of why he is the only celebrity to survive on Tumblr
  • I love how the minotaur person most probably meant to say centaur but Neil just tried to bring sense into it
  • @youbute4877
    I want Neil Gaiman, Rick Riordan and Stephen Fry all in one room discussing myths and mythology. That would be a colab of a century for me.
  • @Martin-xd4jl
    I know this isn't entirely uncommon with authors, but I've always loved how much Neil Gaiman feels like a Neil Gaiman character.
  • @sammuelcruz4169
    If Gaiman decides to start a YouTube channel to talk about myths and history I would definitely watch that.
  • @vmvengsub3812
    Neil Gaiman sounds sleepy yet passionate at the same time. Feels like he's Morphius himself.
  • @SirLightsOut99
    Some random person: if you're such a big mythology fan, name the 12 trials of hercules. Absolute Chad Neil Gaiman: proceeds to explain every single trial in order with context for how they all went down.
  • @Gamepro2112
    You know it’s gonna be great when he says “unless it’s a furry Minotaur” and then specified that this is going to be great
  • Neil Gaiman could read me my groceries list and I would still feel like he's reading us a story for the ages
  • @PoetryInHats
    It's so lovely listening to someone who can speak in full sentences.
  • @whitrobinson
    Imagine growing up with Neil as your dad, telling you the best bedtime stories. 😊 Such a creative and interesting person. I love hearing what he has to say.
  • I did not expect a conversation about Minotaur Furries today, but it sure happened
  • @dris6
    Completely agree with Gaiman's take on Hope. It might help us survive terrible times. On the other hand, it might also take us down a path of terrible decisions where we're left with nothing.
  • If Neil Gaiman decides to write books about other mythologies like Celtic, Germanic, Japanese, etc I would buy them all. Love his writing style!
  • @AgerBoniard
    It's nice to see mr. Gaiman talk about Death as being kind. His friend (and occasional co-author) Terry Pratchett wrote about death in the same way.
  • @SDOtunes
    He seems like the younger, nerdier, slightly crazy brother of Alan Rickman 😂
  • @meikusje
    Other people: love is patient, love is kind Neil Gaiman: death is patient, death is kind
  • @Lemons3457
    I just watched up to the question about Minotaur and I already wanna say I absolutely love Neil Gaiman
