New sandman hc:

Hob plays DnD because it reminds him of the medieval times so he has a campaign with some of his students and they play every thursday.

One day Morpheus comes to visit Hob when he is on his way to their DnD session for the evening. He decides to sit in on the session and he loves how they create these stories out of a game.

Somehow next campaign Morpheus is the dungeon master and the group of students can't be more enthuastic about it while Hob looks at Dream chuckling and fond because the Prince of stories is their DM.

#dream has lucienne put the dnd sessions in his calendar #he always ask Hob afterwards if he liked the storyline he came up with #hob always tells him he loves it #the students totally thinks dream is hob's bf who joined them to see hob more #it's cute af #and maybe there is a rumor at the uni about their mysterious dm #the sandman #morpheus #dream of the endless #hob gadling #dreamling #sandman headcanons #sandman hc

What's the name of the word for things not being the same always? You know. I'm sure there is one, isn't there? There must be a word for it... the thing that lets you know time is happening. Is there a word?

Change.

I am obsessed with the way most sandman characters talk like it lives in my head 24/7 rent free. And I don't even mean accent I mean like cadence, speech patterns and the like.

Lucienne talks like Every Single Word In The Sentence She's Saying Is Capitalized. here for it

and listen I've read some questionable shit from time to time and everytime the author is like "he purred" "she purred" I always used to scratch my head like tf do you mean "they purred" I GET IT NOW DESIRE YOU DEVIOUS LITTLE SHIT I GET IT

and bitch boy dream that talks... like there's an ellipses.... after every few words... which is extra hilarious once you take into account the fact that he knows exactly what he wants to say he's very delibrate in that way he just feels the need.... to make you wait.... for the rest of the sentence.... and by the gods you will because this is the king of dreams speaking

Corinthian love, oh dear Corinthian. I don't know how boyd came to the conclusion that he should take that southern drawl, season it just a bit and then bring it down to 0.75x speed, but I want him to know that I am forever grateful.

And then best bird Matthew sounds like every average white male history teacher ever and it's perfect

#johanna sounds and acts like someone trying and failing to look posh and if that isn't peak my-life-is-falling-apartism idk what is #the sandman #the sandman netflix #the sandman spoilers #dream #dream of the endless #lucienne #matthew the raven #the corinthian #morpheus #johanna constantine

lucienne kept the dreaming standing through sheer willpower for a century only for morpheus to return and pretty much IMMEDIATELY get into a fight with lucifer fucking morningstar over what amounts to his favorite hat i think the poor librarian gets to go a little feral. As a treat.

so, i just watched the sandman cast watch party for episode six (thank you to whoever put that on youtube)

and, there were a lot of fun things in there, but the thing that struck me most was that they pointed out that this moment is the first time in the show that tom sturridge ever makes actual physical contact with another person - dream has interacted with his ravens that closely before now, but only them, no one else has ever touched him

and death is a very physically affectionate person throughout this episode, and while dream clearly isn’t bothered by it, she’s (almost) always the one to initiate it

it’s one of the reasons the end of her half of this episode stands out, because he voluntarily takes her hands there, to thank her, which is possibly the biggest proof that talking to her here helped

now, granted, neil was actually wrong in saying this was the first, there’s one moment before this, when lucienne helps him up at the end of episode one

but in all other situations, if you go back through the other episodes, dream keeps his distance with people. they may get near to him for various reasons, but there’s always that barrier of no contact, even with hob. not just before episode six, there’s precious few moments after it too. in fact, i only found three. (there's not even any more with lucienne, after dream enters the gates of his realm the closest they ever get is when passing books between each other, and they only ever touch the books)

1) desire hair grab. which, dream is always at his most childish, his least restricted, when it comes to desire, and it shows. most of what they do all day is trying to get dream to break rules, and they’ve certainly managed to flout this one, but also, desire does it to get dream to stop acting so above everything and everyone, so it's almost the inverse of death here, pushing dream to be more human

2) calliope. which, honestly, is a good example for holding to the rule, not just breaking it, because this moment they get maddeningly close, but neither one actually moves to touch the other

it’s only at the end, with calliope trying to turn over a new leaf, that she initiates it, and it clearly means so much

and 3) unity, after she dies, his only physical contact with a human we ever see. and i think, in this moment, it’s not about dream. this is about how terrible it is, that vortexes have to die for the sake of all creation, he desperately doesn’t want to kill them, every time, and he feels enormous guilt over that. and unity saved him from having to kill rose, all he can do is be grateful, and to treat her as kindly as possible

but what a great physical translation of dream’s tendency to isolate himself. his biggest problem is that because he’s not human he doesn’t think he’s capable of experiencing life the way humans do, and he ignores so many of his own needs because those are frivolous mortal things and endless should be better than that

when really the endless, despite their age and their power, are painfully human, and death is the only one who’s really worked that out, which is why she does her best to put those things back in dream’s life

and for dream, he physically removes himself from that world, from those people, from the things he wants but thinks he shouldn’t. he’s devastatingly alone, keeping everyone he’s ever known at literal arm’s reach.

people have written about him being touch starved because of the cage, and i love reading all of that, but he was touch starved long before that

#like this post features every single time in 11 episodes dream ever touches another person #just that! it's just that! #dream of the endless #the sandman #death of the endless #lucienne #calliope #desire of the endless #unity kincaid #meta #mine

Do you think that Lucienne was so insistent Dream take a raven with him in 1x02 not just so she can stay informed but because she can no longer go herself but wishes that she could? Lucienne used to be a raven but now she's not, and Jessamy is gone, everyone else in the Dreaming is gone. It's just Dream and a librarian without a library, a librarian who used to be a raven but isn't anymore, unable to fulfill both the new role and the old.

At least take a raven, Lucienne says.

(Dream of the Endless always has a raven)

I'd go with you if I could but I can't, is what she means, I'd keep you safe but I can't do that either. And if I can't go with you then at least take someone else, at least allow me to make sure you aren't going alone like you did last time.

At least let me give you this—

At least take a raven.

#now I want an AU where Dream turns to her and is like ok #join me as my raven #and Lucienne does #and then becomes his librarian again after #Dream of the Endless #Lucienne the Librarian

On retired Dream AUs

imagine if Dream’s retirement was like Miyazaki’s retirement - after doing a whole big thing choosing his successor, a dramatic death, a freakin funereal, and he’s back five years later because a new idea for some dreams but after he finishes them he’s retire for good this time he promises.

#He’s done this often enough that old-timers like Lucienne and Mervyn are like “oh not this shit again” #while Matthews flapping around going “What the fuck?!” #Sandman spoilers #Retired Dream #Dream of the Endless #Morpheus

So I watched the sandman and found out it exists in the DC universe. And the dreaming has a library with every book. And now I can't get it out of my head that Jason would love that library. Thank you for letting put this into your asks.

Yeah it’s kind of mind blowing that it’s the same universe right?! 0.0

And honestly I’d like to imagine that whenever Jason finds his way into the dreaming, Morpheus and his dreams are all good enough to realize that Jason deserves some peace, at least while he sleeps, and allow him to just… chill out in the library. Discover new books. Maybe bring him some tea.

Just… peace, you know? 🥺💚

#a person can dream right? #pun fully intended #look I love Morpheus’ character #and I’d like to think he knows how much suffering and pain clings to Jason #and allows him to have this small haven in his domain #Morpheus just lets Jason chill in the library #lucienne is scpetical at first but Jason’s super polite #so she’s on board rather quickly #ghost talks #the sandman #Jason todd #red hood #the dreaming #dream of the endless

the corinthian’s project proposal gets rejected.

Some guy: Ugh, Lucienne, why do you care so much about Dreams psyche?

Lucienne : Because I'm one of the idiots who lives in it!

THIS ^^^^^^

#lucienne #the sandman #Lucienne caring about Dream's mental health is like her caring about climate change #like ok we've left this long enough WE NEED TO TAKE DRASTIC MEASURES BEFORE THE PLACE BURNS DOWN
