Thinking about Sandman ships this morning and wondering why we are all ignoring Johanna Constantine.
She's a messy disaster bisexual who had oodles of sexual chemistry with Dream and could totally canonically know Hob Gadling.
I know the Dream/Hob/Calliope throuple is popular and I do get it if you are a fan of the show only, but I find it impossible to ship Dream/Calliope after knowing the comic story. Its just too sad and honestly, our girl can do better.
I like that they ramped up the romance there and the "i would kill for you" attitude from Morpheus in episode 11 so yeah totally get why we are swooning over that, but I think there are other less painful ships to explore.
Johanna Constantine is an amazing character and this fandom is sadly sleeping on her.
She should totally get to have a very messy disastrous affair with Morpheus and then break his heart worse than Thessaly ever could. She should then move on and date Death just to twist the knife. THAT would be an awesome ship.
Put her in a throuple with Dream and Hob instead. She'd be walking all over both of them and having the time of her life doing so.
Actually we should also be shipping her with Lucifer. Classic enemies to lovers right there given the job profession and quite frankly I'd love to see Gwendoline Christie step on that feisty little bisexual disaster. Possibly the only time I dont view Johanna as a total dom.
Dream may be the fandom bicycle, but Johanna Constantine should be the fandom bus. Making her way through every character sometimes at the same time.
I think there is an unspoken agreement in the Dreaming that every time Dream has had library sex, Lucienne gets to fuck Gault on his throne when he’s away
dream of the endless headcanons, and yet again, no one has asked
he is bisexual. die mad about it.
he is also grayromantic. being an entity beyond time doesn't help his perception of falling in love
non-binary, he is an anthropomorphic personification do you think he even believes in gender?
they/he. no further explanations
he is clingy. this has been stuck in my mind for days now.
imagine him resting his head on lucienne's shoulder after a long day of dream-making
or holding hands with Death as they go on another reaping walk
or cuddling matthew, all while insulting him greatly
or literally being the little spoon with whoever you ship him with
literally the biggest ride-or-die. you hurt him, or his therapist/librarian, his immortal emotional support human, his favourite older sibling (can you hurt death?), his many birds, cats, hot ex-wife, his stuff, his favourite meadow and you'll be plagued by very very traumatic dreams
he inexplicably invented eyeliner
he eventually let gault go back into jed's dreams
ill add as inspiration strikes me, in calliope we trust
Something of mine came into your possession. A leather pouch filled with sand. I need it back. Oh, that was yours? Bought it at an estate sale a while back. Didn’t even manage to get the drawstrings open. Where is it? No idea. Could be anywhere. We must find it. Must we? Why is that?
Like any sensible person, I of course ship Morpheus with everyone because of all the sexual tension he’s just throwing around out there all willy-nilly, and I know I’ve read too many fanfics but honestly the scene at the end of episode 3 with Johanna is ridiculous.
Moving closer. The music. The lamplight. The archway. The rain. The eye-contact. I simply can’t.
