#vague spoilers for the last volumes but there’s just this sense of Greek tragedy where you cannot escape The Fates

last Sandman observation of the night but I like how all the moments of Morpheus being a dick are, from his pov, just him telling it as it is

“Joanna I can’t do anything for your ex” she’s dying! That’s Death job and even she can’t interfere here!

“yeah Lyta I’ll be taking your baby later” that’s how this works! It’s going to happen whether any of us want it to or not!

“sorry Rose I will be killing you now” it’s literally that or the universe ending. Sucks but it’s gotta happen!

there are The Rules and that they Must Be Followed and he has a hard time understanding why humans get all upset when he tells them this

he treats people terribly, but (for the most part) he’s not doing so maliciously. He just…doesn’t think

#it’s been almost a decade since I read the comics but aaah love how the rule thing comes to bite him back so hard #vague spoilers for the last volumes but there’s just this sense of Greek tragedy where you cannot escape The Fates #sandman #the sandman #sandman tv #I don’t remember much of his interactions with destiny but huh. maybe that’s why they got along #the nada thing is a borderline case but from my vague memories his pov of the event is: well I don’t forgive her. I’m not going to lie #not thinking about how much it would suck to be stuck in one place forever until it’s literally pointed out to him #‘oh. if a hundred years in a basement were bad ten thousand in hell would really suck’ #absolutely minimal emotional intelligence. cannot believe how many women continue to date him #this is why Thessaly broke up with you dream #he’s so emotionally repressed that whenever he allows himself to feel an emotion he goes way overboard #no dream making it rain for weeks is not a healthy response to breaking no #it’s reasonable to be mad when you’re rejection but no you can’t damn someone to eternal hell for it
