“Garry dreams of proving his father he was wrong about him.”
“Kate dreams of running away where no one will find her.”
[But you do, and we see your star in so many panels of The Wake 🥺]
“Bette dreams of creating something that matters to people.”
You are the magician who became the man, Morpheus. And you are the king who left his kingdom, but not without making sure everyone else would be okay first--perhaps that is a different definition of a graceful ending, but it is graceful nonetheless.
You’re so painfully human, and yet, you are also not 😭
These two pics really drive me insane... The contrast between Toga's two "first times": when she used her quirk to kill and when she used it to save. The wild, divided face in the first panel vs the soft, harmonious face in the second. How both of them are undeniably Toga but in polar opposite ways. The way the halves' switch places. The fangy smile. The way both moments are Toga's answer to the question about her life and her choice. I'm going insane.
To anyone who wants to replace Thessaly with Johanna Constantine in the TV show... Why would you want to do that to poor Constantine? Firstly, just to inflict dating Dream on the poor woman is bad enough lol. But also you're casting her in the role of antagonist / villain (depending on your pov, unpleasant either way you slice it). Either you haven't read All of Sandman or you've repressed some traumatic memories because Thessaly is part of the reason that Dream REDACTED.
(It's fine if you don't like Thessaly. I don't like Thessaly, she's not there to be liked).
I just finished reading the Kindly Ones and I am deep in my feelings about the last couple scenes between Morpheus and Matthew.
Originally I was just going to post these two panels because they’re iconic but then I wanted to do more. (With regular apology for photo quality because I’m not good at taking pictures of glossy, not-flat pages.)
Matthew’s FACE! How can anyone not love him?
I think a lot of Emotional Support Raven is based on Matthew just refusing to go.
Just … all the feelings.
Will probably reblog later with their actual last scene together.
Sandman Inktober 2023, Day 7 & 8 Rain/Wings ( Part Two close up to portraits)
“Dream? give me your hand”
As promised both portraits in individual canvas and without the added text! I couldn’t decide which one I liked better so I decided to post both if only to have them up here as my own archive.
there's so many del conversations i really fucking love and wanted to put my own spin on before we get an officially cast delirium, so starting off with this fun one from kindly ones!
(i have also started a del themed tiktok bc i have a lot more audio/video stuff in the works, so if you're interested you can find this video cross-posted here)
Tavi, having reached That Moment in Act 3: I have fought three gods, a Vampire Lord and the literal devil, how hard can this be?
The Absolute: *yeets Netherstones*
Tavi: Oh.
The Emperor: What have I been fucking telling you since the Nautiloid?
Tavi: Can you not backseat drive, for like, five seconds? Just five? Five seconds is all I ask. Also I'm betraying you anyway.
The Emperor: *outraged murder octopus noises* What?! How could you?! After all I've done for you! I have never lied to you, saved your life countless times...!
Tavi: You literally lied to me the moment you met me.
The Emperor: Of course I lied, I'm a mind flayer!
The rest of the companions: ...*Karlach popping popcorn with her fire and passing it around while they continue to scream at each other*
