getting emotional about the last issue of sandman again (cw for major comic spoilers, discussion of suicidal thoughts)

because like. so we learn pretty early on what dream's deal with shakespeare was, allowing him better access to his creative potential in return for two plays, and we know this because we get midsummer night's dream, which was commissioned by dream for the actual titania as a parting gift before the faeries left earth forever

but we don't learn the second play until right at the end, after dream is dead, after the funeral, after sunday mourning and exiles, both of which make really beautiful endings to the story in their own right

the second play is the tempest. and there's a lot of the play that neil gaiman quotes in this issue, but i'll focus on the specific two that shakespeare reads aloud

the first is our obvious one - prospero's address at his daughter's wedding.

Be cheerful, sir. Our revels now are ended. These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and are melted into air, into thin air. And like the baseless fabric of this vision, the cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temples, the great globe itself, ye all which it inherit, shall dissolve, and like this insubstantial pageant faded, leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

it's a beautiful passage, and exactly what to put at the end of this story - prospero is reminding everyone that stories are just stories, they aren't real and can't hurt anyone, but also they are the one thing that lives forever. humans are shaped and formed by our dreams, by our stories, we come from them, and in the end, we return to them.

now, prospero is the character we focus on in this issue. because there's a three-way parallel here between dream and prospero and shakespeare himself.

dream and shakespeare have both lost their sons, were both irreparably changed by that. both regret decisions they've made in their lives, and wish to leave the path they've found for themselves, but don't feel they can - their responsibilities are too great, they have no choice but to be what they were born to be. both wonder what might have happened in a world where things were different, but they know that could never have been

and prospero is the balm to that. prospero has made mistakes in his life, he's in several ways the antagonist of this story, but at the end, he gets to put it all aside. his daughter lives, and is happy. he gives up his magic - the source of his power, but also his suffering - and abandons his role, leaves the island he'd been ruling for decades. and this is his happy ending.

when shakespeare asks dream why this play, why he wanted that ending, instead of some great tragedy or drama, something more fit for a king, dream responds "because i will never leave my island."

and we see throughout the issue that that was personal to shakespeare too, it was a wish fullfilment for both of them.

but then we get to the epilogue, the second quote i'm focusing on. because shakespeare doesn't know how to end the play, until he has that conversation with dream.

this is the tempest's epilogue, in full:

Now my charms are all o'erthrown/And what strength I have’s mine own/Which is most faint. Now, ’tis true/I must be here confined by you/Or sent to Naples. Let me not/Since I have my dukedom got/And pardoned the deceiver, dwell/In this bare island by your spell/But release me from my bands/With the help of your good hands.

Gentle breath of yours my sails/Must fill, or else my project fails/Which was to please. Now I want/Spirits to enforce, art to enchant/And my ending is despair/Unless I be relieved by prayer/Which pierces so that it assaults/Mercy itself and frees all faults.

As you from crimes would pardoned be/Let your indulgence set me free.

like most shakespeare epilogues, it's a direct address to the audience, talking about the play. prospero is asking forgiveness from the audience for all he did wrong, but then reminding them that he's only human, don't we all want to be forgiven? and after all, all of this was just a story. he only wanted to create something for you. so applaud the ending, tell him it was worth it, and only with your permission can he finish the story, and finally leave.

and that's the thing, about dream's particular brand of suicidal thoughts. being dream of the endless has been weighing on him for centuries, if not millenia, he longs for an escape, but he knows he can't. when they see it's breaking him his siblings try and convince him to leave, like destruction did, but it's not in him to abandon the dreaming like that.

and that amount of responsibility, of staying alive because you owe it to other people - it's a relief, then, when a battle comes along that's too great for you to face, but there's also a lot of guilt in it. because he gave up. and he knows he did. letting the kindly ones win was the most selfish decision he's ever made

and you might say, well, he's dead, he doesn't have to face it, but that's not wholly true. because all three of the last issues deal with some version of dream after death.

there's the dream of him hob has in sunday mourning, which isn't the true dream, he's dead, except of course it is dream, because he was only ever made of dreams anyway, so does it really matter whether it's real or not?

in exiles the protagonist talks to both morpheus and daniel in the desert, and for dream this was two very different time periods, but to the man crossing the desert, they happened simultaneously, so if time can be warped like that in dreams, who's to say that the ripples of morpheus won't continue long into the future?

and then we have the tempest. dream has appeared after death as a dream, as a mirage, and finally, in perhaps his truest form, as a story.

when dream said he will never leave his island, shakespeare reminds him that all men can change. and this is the fatal flaw of dream - he doesn't see himself as a man, as a person, as anything but the entity which must fulfill his function. he tells shakespeare that men have stories, men change - he does not

and when we end this entire 75 issue run with the epilogue from the tempest, dream is prospero. even after death he's still reckoning with the guilt of making that decision. even now, he won't allow himself that freedom.

and that's the reminder, that all of this was just a story - dream's story. the reader is a character in sandman, all of this was created for us. did he manage to create something beautiful enough, despite the pain? can he be forgiven for the decisions he made along the way? if eventually he gave up, does that make all the time he fought so hard for meaningless?

and he can't be free of the story until we answer that all important question - was it worth it?

to which the answer can only be of course it was.

#you did good kiddo. take your rest. it's okay #interestingly enough the tempest isn't the only play that refers to the afterlife as a dream #hamlet does too (which you know is the piece inspired by shakespeare's dead son) #but that's just me and my shakespeare nerd #i've won literal monetary awards for my writing on shakespeare but here i am rereading sandman and crying #so you all get to cry too #neil gaiman you madman give me your writing talents #the sandman #sandman comic spoilers #dream of the endless #....it feels weird to tag shakespeare in this #wake #mine #meta #suicide tw

if i had somehow during my exam realised i had gotten the leaked paper last night i would simply just do my exam as normal and never talk about it RIP to nam hae-e and sun-jae but i am different

#crash course in romance #kdrama #it's not like you two purposely did it #and anyway back when i was in 9th and cbse was experimenting on us like lab rats whether to board or not to #i had gotten the science paper too bc cbse sent the papers but the schools were allowed to set the schedule themselves #and st marys science exam happened before my school #literally everybody was trying to get their hands on the exam papers from as many schools as they can #ik it's a but different but like chill kiddos #we all used to laugh #like it was cbse's fault then here it's sung-jae eomma and that education director's crime #oh back during my bachelor's those uni politicians wannabe kids would leak the papers through whatsapp #well leaking in the sense there'll be a list of questions and usually 50% would be in the exams #good times

Melli in the gear station family au is like that one lovingly overbearing family member who comes to see you at your job and tell you that you're doing a great job, except he needs an excuse to tell Akari & Rei their doing a great job so part of his getting lost is intentional and part of it is genuinely accidental (hc he has an absolutely terrible sense of direction and gets lost in a straight line, Zoro from one piece style) so when they find him and help him he's like "you two are SO GOOD at your jobs, the BEST employees here, honestly" and like half of the ten most recent gear station reviews are from Melli praising Akari and Rei.

Ingo and Emmet ask them if he needs to be banned from the subway and the younger twins are like "no, he's fine. Embarrassing but he means well and it's all good." (They have a hunch that Melli Knows Them which is why the kids are fine with hanging around him and helping him, but also all three of them are so at ease with each other that they had to ask just to Make Sure everything was fine even though they were Pretty Sure there was no issue)

#pla akari #PLA Rei #Warden melli #Gear station family au #Melli is like. 4-5 years older than the twins so they've also been p close #They're cousins but they've spent so much time together he may as well be their older brother #He helped change their diapers. Poorly. But he did. (He brings that up when he wants to tease them) #The gear station crew is initially suspicious of him (why is this Unknown Man being so friendly towards the kiddos?) #Until Melli was intentionally overly obnoxious one day to a commuter who'd been giving the twins a hard time #Approached the person to talk LOUDLY about his own hair and treating his hair stylist so good bc he's so greatful for their hard work #Can you IMAGINE bring on your feet all day and having to deal with assholes who think they can do your job??? #Or who get upset when one little thing goes wrong? That's why MELLI is ALWAYS so thankful to his hairstylist and doesn't give them shit #Esp when the hairstylist is running late or dealing with some sort of UNEXPECTED PROBLEM that they're WORKING ON FIXING #Obv Melli can wait a lil bit!!! Bc his hairstylist is a person too!!! And he certainly couldn't do their job!!! #And then he 'gets on the phone's and starts talking about how he's so grateful that people are SO PATIENT when there's an issue that #Employees can't immediately solve. Can you imagine being the kind of asshole that acts like a machine's fault that causes a delay #Has been intentionally done by the employees? Purely to inconvenience them??? #While he's saying this he's making eye contact with the asshole commuter who squirms and eventually goes to apologize for being so short #And grumpy w the twins. And the gear station crew is like. 'ah. This man is One Of Us.'

From a very young age, Kaeya held such a fondness for handholding. Whether it was his father clinging tightly to him to make sure he didn’t get lost, Adelinde’s gentle, grounding hand closed over his to comfort him whenever his nerves got the better of him, Crepus’s rough-palmed, firm yet comforting grip as he brought him back home, or, as it was most often of all, Diluc’s warm, yet at times uncomfortably tight hold as he dragged him anywhere, everywhere, determined to always keep Kaeya close and eagerly show him all there was to see, Kaeya treasured the gesture greatly.

Of course, being as shy as he was, initiating it himself was always the harder part. So much so, he would tend to hold pinkies, rather than outright take a person’s hand in his own. Eventually, it would become his most common way to go about the gesture of affection.

#hc; kaeya #//Handholding is one of his favorite ways of affection bc 1) it’s not too overwhelming when it comes to his touch aversion #//The sensation is all focused in one spot; and even then; it’s more grounding than uncomfortable bc of how firm people’s grasp tends to be #//He really took to holding pinkies bc he realized he could ‘test’ people that way #//If it was a bother to them; they wouldn’t blink twice before moving their hand from his hold. so rejection isn’t as BIG; more subtle #//And if they Liked it; they could either accept it as is or make him happier and take firmer hold of his hand #//Once he was more confident; he would go straight to more outright handholding. Klee ofc got that RIGHT from the getgo. Bc she is smol & #liked him from the start. Even if her Pyro energy did make him uncomfortable at first; but he got used to it. for her #//Luc made it easy to go right to it to—the kid would always seem to know when he wanted to hold hands for whatever reason and grabbed hold #before Kae could link pinkies. kae did like the fact that Luc would Pout the few times Kae did link pinkies instead of hold hands #//Pout; & snatch his hand firmly in his like ‘Why did you do that? THIS way’s better’. Love the image of bby!Kae grabbing bby!Luc’s sleeves #but lbr; they deffo held hands a lot as kiddos. Bc we all know just how (canonically) indulging Luc is with whatever Kae wants. Once Luc #//figured him out; it was a Very common sight; seeing Luc tromping around like the proud lil protector he was; & Kae scurrying after him #//Lil subtle delighted gleams in his eye compared to Luc’s more overt confidence and joy. So common a sight; it was no surprise that #Kae was Deffo distressed when Luc inevitably grew out of it. Adjusted; yeah; but the sudden Change was deffo NOT good for his nerves #//Clung to Addie a lot to make up for it; until he heard the maids tittering abt how childish he was being #//He quit that FAST; finding other ways to stave off his nerves and show his affection #//Sometimes when he’s drunk at Angel’s Share; he gets tempted to hold Luc’s hand—an old habit dredged back up bc he wants comfort #//But any sudden moves Luc makes; whether bc he noticed Kae reaching out or not; utterly scare the urge away every time #//He’s made his peace with Luc resenting him; but it still stings that the ONE person he felt closest to is now practically a Chasm away #//Not like he helps any with that; running away or lashing out every time Luc tries to bridge gaps or shows concern #//Sends him into fight or flight mode every time—who’s to say Kae won’t fuck it up and make a Luc regret trying? #//Might as well sabotage it all himself—at least THEN he knows with utmost certainty it will end failure. Whoops veered off topic #//The closer he is to someone; the more likely he ends up toying with their hands a bit—esp if Interested in them #//Likes playing with their fingers; linking; unlinking and slotting them together; tracing lines on their palms #//Cute shit like that. He likes seeing how they fit together; the differences in size and how they feel #//This was all bc I saw a detail from a show pointed out on the Twitter ndnfn. And thought the pinkie thing was SO cute. Anywho #//Hi. Shit happened irl & I am still not 100%. Not saying what bc it’s not a pleasant topic; but know I am ok #//Just a lil tired. But kinda wanna hcs for rn. I had a lil burst of energy earlier today. that was nice. Over a long dead show; no less #//But it helped lift my mood a bit. I still kinda wish I could drink rn tho. Think it’d help my brain rn

started my day determined to have a Sad Sack Crybaby day where I just loused around and slumped on furniture but the weather was so beautiful and when I took Scoops outside to bask in it some neighbor children wanted to pet him which led to all of us migrating to my backyard so they could play on the 30 year old 'playset'(two swings and a slide) while I chilled and absorbed the sun in my chair and they chased and ran away from my puppy and then threw him sticks and toys until he was SO exhausted and then finally a Mother came over and sat in the other chair to 'watch' them and...

it was really nice. I didn't have time to be a sad sack, just had time to chill and absorb the sun and breathe the over-pollinated air and enjoy the sounds of kiddos running around my yard.

I think I needed that.

#the benefits of being friends with your neighbors #I've been meaning to tear down that janky old playset for years but shit like this keeps happening #My 11 year old neighbor who was doing most of the 'babysitting' took advantage of her mom coming over and took a turn on the swing #and whooooooo boy she really put that old wood through its paces #she was twisting and turning as she swung back and forth and the WHOLE frame was rocking #I'm like girl.... you might have aged out of this ancient old playset(very likely older than ME) #but it did not fall apart... today #I even got an unexpected hug from one of the kiddos as a 'thank you' #which was weird but appreciated #loaded them up with ice and water as they played - hydration is important #it's nice to have a surprisingly good day #and I know that looking after these two other kids was a strain on the family so I'm glad I was able to alleviate some stress for them #and Scoops was SO FUCKING HAPPY #he sounded like a little train with how hard he was panting afterwards

#not nearly far enough in2 my 03 rewatch 2 b knowledgeable on the subject(my memory can b questionable)but Im having timeskip brainrot again #like given that Rose wasn't in her right mind when all the stuff in the underground city was going on and Al lost his memories of it #the only person who came back to Winry who could tell her what happened to Ed would be Wrath right? #so she would look at this child who she knows has a vested interest in killing Ed #at the fact that he looks like he's been in a brutal fight #and at Ed being gone #like ''hey kiddo uh. did you kill my friend?'' #and Wrath is probably having So Many Emotions at the time #like two of the most fundamental parts of Wrath's character are his desire for familial love which makes him latch onto Sloth as his mother #and his trauma over being stuck in the Gate #but Wrath's never been through the gate. He can't have any actual reason to believe there is a ''through'' to it #so we have Edward. who fucking killed Sloth but who also as far as Wrath knows is trapped in the Gate just as Wrath had found tortuous #would Wrath pity Ed? would he think Ed got what he deserved? Would Wrath wish the gate on anyone? #and Wrath'd be stuck in Resembool while getting his automail done #Surrounded by people who care about Ed and want him to tell them what happened to Ed. with all his old allies dead/as good as dead #god early timeskip must have been so much for Wrath #my art #fma #fma 03 #Winry Rockbell #Wrath #timeskip/cos al + wrath stuff #<- ik Al's not in this post but it's in a similar vein

I started reading Billy Bat manga by Urasawa Naoki (u may know him as the guy who did Monster) and jesus christ its wild. Absolute experience. Judas and Jesus are in it, so are ninjas, so is lee harvey oswald (technically at least 3), theres a bat thats satire about how evil mickey mouse and disney are, there's lying cartoons galore, there's the civil rights movement, the oppressivr terror of the ku klux klan and the structural damage of segregation and fucked up laws, and the pervasiveness of advertising and the coca cola company ("golden cola") there's real events sprinkled with gratuitious fictional shit about manipulative God Billy Bat (or perhaps "administrator/guide to the human race"), a scroll that could control the world, Fake walt disney has hired killers, the looming brutality of imperialism and corporations buying out poorer areas, killing in other countries and breaking laws and whatever else is needed to acquire what they want, there's a cartoon dog kennedy assasination, a baby kevin inherits the powers of an older kevin, there's ninjas and priests, there's a small town out west full of cowboy larpers who are this comic artists biggest fan club, a secret agent Smith with a heart of gold (one hopes), a teenager named jackie whos seeing visions, there's a good and evil fake "mickey mouse" bat but frankly theyre probqbly both evil cause either way they lie and manipulate to get people to do what they want, judas cameos not only in his jesus arc but as a little kiddo, and like. Im not even halfway done. Einstein JUST showed up.

#rant #billy bat #its. an experience ill say that. its wild and im kind of floored it got published #it makes a lot of good points but its also ultimately a long winding Batshit Wild Bat Cartoon-as-God MYSTERY thriller #so its like. oh you learn about the pains of cowardice. the cruelties of corporations. #the way society doesnt value a whores life as you cry for her because she was wondetful. the way being just is hard #its hard to be brave and dangerous but it uas to be done. the vile dangers of advertizing and capitalism and profit over human life. #but then also. theres a fucking bat talking to a girl in her college class lol #its an interesting perspective in a way also cause like... #1 a lot of comic artists just full on would not touch these elements in their plots at all. and while ive seen these topics in stories #before. tjis is the most Pointed Disney/governments/corporations critique ive seen in comics. since like. its literally fake disney #ajd real ass historical figures and govts getting critiqued. #then 2 in japanese manga i havent seen foreign events covered much. and its interesting to see the perspective of #world events and america from this author. and his choice to make the protagonists who he did: a japanese american whos born american #and was in the allies as a translator. part of the US occupation when he initially visits japan. #the japanese mangaka whos older than ww2. the white upper class (truly upper class) coca cola #dynasty equivalent inheritor. a lower class black woman factory worker from florida whos outspoken and a leader and #braver than her husband. their kiddo kevin whos the most important person in the world worth saving. jackie the japanese american teen girl #eho grew up Loving fake disney and is in college. her dad the taxi driver who through other people #eventhally got the courage to go reunite with his wife and daughter jackie who left him. #(oh also a european priest and JUDAS and a ninja) #its just like. the author worked hard to put what feels like a japanese and american perspective and the Many ways those overlap and Dont #into this. as well as a variety of upper class and lower class characters. the rich fake walt disney and the poor bat town mayor and elder #who get killed for standing in the way of a corporations dreams. #jackie kennedy and the sweet girl who saved cartoonist Kevin and worked the street. #the rich dynasty inheritor of golden cola and his working class wife. how it all falls away in the deep soutj with pther lines #society draws. the poor student jackie versus the other protagonists witj a job #how kevin yamagata has not much connection to japan except a fondness for his parents. while jackie is even more #culturally removed (having never even visited japan) but her family still has their heritage of stories and places they miss and #want to visit and traditions her dad still regulalry discusses.

Hey sweet, how are you? 💗

stinaaa hi 💕 I'm okay, honestly having a lot of big ups and downs at the same time and it's <3 so frustrating

but this weekend I have a mini road trip to go visit adoptable bunnies so if I do that and get my checklist of things-that-will-fix-my-life done then it should level out

I'm kind of just ignoring all the bad things for now. surely that will work out in the long run?

#how are you? i feel like it's been a while sorry :( #i did mean to reach out this week bc i was away for so long but sun night i was finally feeling good then a bunch of family shit blew up #hope the beginning of the school year is going well for kiddo and that you've got fun things going on! #asks
