#and not just because 'dormouse' is the world's cutest nickname

[thornfield13713]

Every fucking day I think about Unity Kincaid telling Mr Holdaway that she was going to get to have a life after all after sleeping all of hers away, with her great-granddaughter and -grandson. And that she gave that life up to save Rose. And, unlike in the comics, she wasn’t already dying, it was a sacrifice of time she really could have had - maybe not much of it, but all the more precious for that.

And I break, a little.

#the sandman #look #'the dolls house' was one of my favourite storylines in the comic #and then it got adapted #and while i do miss some things - dream breaking down howling with laughter at Hector Hall's rendition of the sandman is glorious #this version REALLY got me in the heart with unity #like #i was a fucking WRECK in episode one when her father was trying to get her to wake up #and not just because 'dormouse' is the world's cutest nickname #and then i was even more of a wreck every time i got to see her later on #UNITY KINCAID DESERVED THE FUCKING WORLD #and she was never going to get it because she was born a vortex #i am never going to stop crying about that #the unfairness baked into the universe that even the endless can't do a damn thing to stop
