What's Despoe? I've seen it mentioned, but I don't know much about the ship 😅

Oh @honeyteacakes, what a perfect question. (Pulls out a handy display board and pointing stick).

What's Despoe you say? I'm so very glad you asked.

Death, At Death's Door, if you haven't read it, is a little manga style comic by Jill Thompson. It takes place during the period Dream picks who will be the next master of hell. While he's debating, all the souls residing there get booted out.... Anyway, I won't spoil it but in it, Edgar Allen Poe, one of said souls is shown to be utterly bewitched by Despair of the Endless. She's his everything! His dark muse, his inspiration. That man is fanboying so damn hard and it's a thing of beauty.

And imagine that? Poe would have been as much Dream's and as he was Despair's. But he chose Despair, his 'Lady of Aching Inspiration'. How many beings do you think actively choose the company and attention of Despair save their twin?

And Despair is so utterly adorable about it. They're like two awkward crushing teenagers.

So anyway, Despoe... The ship of Despair of the Endless and Edgar Allen Poe. Because Despair deserves some love and adoration!

You know, while the Despair x Edgar Allan Poe thing started mainly because of the Jill Thompson manga-style Season of Mists comics, and because we all like to joke about how Poe's incredibly angsty writing makes the pairing make sense? I think there's a deeper reason I'm unironically touched by the whole Despair and Poe thing - and by the sibling relationship between the Chaos Twins.

Because all jokes aside, the unspoken message at the heart of it that I see? Is "Everyone has value to someone. Everyone has someone who finds them not merely tolerable, but lovable. Everyone has someone who finds beauty in them."

Despair isn't everyone's favorite Endless and honestly, for very understandable reasons. Her realm, her function, isn't pretty or palatable. She's basically just sitting around feeding from people's sadness. She doesn't seem, to many, to contribute much to family meetings.

And yet, she is loved. She is treasured, doted on, by Desire. This is a character who is so often dismissive of others, often manipulative, so rarely shows genuine affection without some kind of game or scheme attached. Yet they seem to truly love their twin sister. They would be nothing without each other. She is always included by them in various schemes if possible. And to various writers and fans, Edgar Allan Poe found inspiration and even something to love, however strange, in her. She doesn't have to be as universally enticing as her twin or as creative as Dream or as obviously warm and lovable as Death or as fascinating and sympathetic as Delirium, to have her twin's whole heart, or even a random mortal poet's. She's good enough to some, as she is, as incomprehensible as it might seem to some.

I know some of us have had moments, or days or months, or even years, where we've felt like the Despair of our friend group or our family or the whole damn world, where we don't see how we contribute anything positive and we wonder how or why anyone would choose to care about us. I've had those moments, sometimes. Whether it's because we have some kind of mental illness or trauma or chronic health conditions to deal with, whatever the reason, I know many people have had times where even if they aren't the literal embodiment of despair, we've kind of felt like her. They may feel in those moments like they suck the joy and life out of everything or just like more trouble than we're worth.

So seeing or writing about someone choosing to love and spend time with even the literal personification of despair and hopelessness - yeah, the jokes are fun but it also kind of makes me feel things. And I wonder if I'm not alone in that.

And it may not be realistic to say that ANYONE is lovable to someone but honestly, sometimes I don't give a shit. Sometimes I need that, especially on those days when I feel afraid of reaching out to old friends because I wouldn't know how to answer the question of "what have you been up to" with anything that doesn't sound boring, or something they won't be interested in.

#personal #despair #despoe #sandman #wow this prolly got a little personal!! Killed the vibes a bit! But ppl can reblog ig #I just want to know if I'm not alone in this #it's very weirdly heartwarming for such a character that she's so deeply loved by at least one person #hell that in her previous form when it was murdered all her family went straight to horrifying revenge on her killer #it matters to me that despair matters to people in canon. Even without the poe thing. It's sweet okay?? #and this family doesn't have a ton of sweet moments. Not without death and/or Delirium generally

i fuckihate dispensaries. stupid ugly modern “clean” look with way too many LEDs. I just want one shred of personality. I want to get my weed from a place that looks like The Wizard’s Cabin. The only music that’s played is video game soundtracks and the budtenders are required to wear cloaks and no straight ppl allowed ever

#gurgles #wizard time #i know we all want this #i hate walking into a despo that looks like every other gentrified building

[paulodybaeeela]

Screaming, crying, throwing up. WHEN WILL IT BE MY TURN.

But my dreams aside, they make such a beautiful couple! A lot of hearts over the world and in India were shattered today.

4, 5 and 11 for Despoe 😏

Ah @despairoftheendless and Despoe I was hopefully expecting you...

4. Would you ever consider writting for them?

Oh it's not a matter of would, but when. I'm just waiting on my brain to hyper focus in on Despair and I'm there! I've done Dream, Desire, Destiny, Daniel... The time will come for Despair and by proxy Despoe.

5. What was the moment for you that made you ship them?

At first, the pure love my mutuals just radiated for this ship. I had absolutely no idea where they'd pulled Despair x Edgar Allen Poe from. But their passion for it had me crafting a handmade Despoe flag and waving it proudly. But... This moment, right here in Death: At Death's Door. The way Poe talks about Despair, like she's the epicenter of his dark universe 🖤🖤🖤

11. Do you have a song that reminds you of them?

Off the top of my head, Hurt by Johnny Cash.

"And you can have it all... My empire of dirt."

There's such an overwhelming passionate, yet bleak desperation to it. A lover who can offer nothing but ashes to his beloved. Yet there's something so tender and aching about it.

Despoe is simply the best of the canonically sandman ships, The aesthetic alone is simply unmatched 🤷🏻‍♀️

No you right you right

You just know that the two got set up by her ever loving twin who gave the mother of all shovel talks to Poe when the two hit it off successfully. Despair was touched but also like ...my dearest twin, can you please not make my beloved piss himself from fear. Don't scare him off, please.

#despoe #despair x edgar allen poe #despair #the sandman #this is the one and only time desire has ever just thrown 200% of their sincerest efforts into not just starting a relationship for a #sibling but also in wanting desperately to make it work for them because it's despair. Magnificent bastards who are soft for one person and #only one are my kryptonite and the chaos twins have such a weirdly wholesome dynamic #at least to me #despairoftheendless

going to a trans guy club night next month and the themes and pics are usually rly cool but the theme for this month's is flower boys... honestly it's exclusionary lool like I'm not cute I don't want to be cute I want to go to the trans fag party to see hot guys in leather 😔

#im joking about it being exlusionary but to be totally honest i do find it a teeny bit infantalising. anyways im still despo to go so 🤷‍♂️

[helennorvilles]

so glad i left going through my wardrobe to today instead of forcing it on saturday during my initial attempt bc saturday i felt terrible and bad and was an absolute sucker for the sunk cost fallacy but today i’m chucking out stuff that doesn’t fit me anymore and not having any negative emotions at all 🎉🎉

#sure i might have put on a little weight but now my black jeans fit when they used to be too big so that’s a win #like i am actually feeling so good i’ve been just going through absolutely everything in my room and i’ve been despo to do this for ages #i just never found the time so to FINALLY be doing it is brain cleansing #my post tag

[zaruba-needslove]

Yanno...

I dun wanna laugh.... but seriously looking at how ppl react the bit scenes in Yorozuya Michi as 'something so important' really was hilarious lol. Like...

Lol wdym this is a very important lore? This is like saying Kei-chan's origami shuriken was foretelling his future being a ninja or Kon-chan's white fur being stained by blood was why Ace's final form was Geats IX 😃

#fandom are funny #and i thought the v-cine was already being clear enough abt the scene #like why moochan went overboard cutting a trash truck just to recover a plush #at most the dad back story explain why mich is practically homeless 😃 or maybe a squatter #or lived in the street XD #i understand the despo energy tho #but the overreaction was hilarious
