Quick recap: Tom showed up in a fit we've seen before cuz that's just who he is (and I respect that). Host was giving kind of a weird energy ('she's asking if you'd like to be punished'???), but okay, no harm done and we don't have to shit on random dudes.
He got asked some of the same questions from earlier cons and some new ones. In summary: Sandman s2 is halfway through filming, the helmet is real and you can see through the eyes, eternal waking is a worse punishment than eternal sleeping, he likes dark Belgian chocolate, he got into acting through Punk Rock, his main inspiration in portraying Dream was the the novels (rather than something external to them), a fav scene to act was the dinner table scene with all siblings in upcoming s2, he'd like to be Destiny so he can live alone in a garden and read, main characteristic of s1 Dream was Dream finding his connection to humanity, fav line is I Am Hope, he's excited to watch Dead Boy Detectives, embodying Dream had its challenges, little to no CGI was used in creating the other versions of Morpheus (iykyk), he tried meeting Morpheus in his dreams, working with Neil was wonderful, he wants to work with great creators (people 'cleverer than him' as he always puts it), he's done a lot of dark roles and if it's happening this many times, he guesses there must be a kinship between those and his personal self (mmhmmm?), for filming he wakes up/starts for the studio around 4 a.m. and starts giving shots around 9 a.m.- time between that is hair+makeup and getting into character, and last and definitely the least, he got asked to do the Dream voice yet AGAIN (please don't do this, people).
It was really, really good to see him. Watch the full video at Klara Himmel's channel.
13. February, 2024: idk it's something, I'm too busy being stabbed in the heart by his jawline (PSA: Tom wants to do the Sandman body (from the graphic novels) justice and he looks amazing here but being this skinny is not normal beauty standard and neither should it be, thanks)
All right. That was random and I don't usually like posting pics (=thing without any creative input from me) but like I said, I'm feeling random and I miss Tom. I'm not totally comfortable with pap pics and tried avoiding them, mostly. Thanks to my two friends on tumblr (not tagging but you know who you are ❤️) for sending me all these because I have anxiety issues and can't + don't search for Tom stuff- I get overwhelmed and spiral. (Don't blame me, okay, I love this man too much.)
Let's do 12 Tom pics for the last 12 months 'cause I'm feeling random.
1. February, 2023: BAFTAs, I think?
2. March, 2023: Totes a babe
April, 2023: Vogue something? Doesn't matter, I'm forgetting my own name looking at this soo
3. May, 2023: Happy in a con in Japan!
4. June, 2023: Some art thing (but he is the art and we know it)
5. July, 2023: Hello, Wimbledon
6. August, 2023: Want a bad boi? I'll give you bad boi.
7. September, 2023: Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
8. October, 2023: The fact that he brought a book to read at an event makes him my soul twin, and no, I am not taking arguments
10. November, 2023: Life's a party
Rest: Let me reblog 'cause I've hit tunblr's ten-images-per-post limit 😒
No this is hilarious actually, because I don't usually save pics of famous people, Tom included- so I don't have many Tom pics saved either. But I saved one after a while just the other day! And the music was always going to be a wildcard 'cause every week during work I check out music I haven't listened to before, and it doesn't matter if it came out yesterday or before I was born. So, yeah, I wish I could star in the gritty dystopian sci-fi 'Wasteland' with Tom Sturridge lol
Thanks for thinking of me, @marlowe-zara!
challenge -> you’re starring in a movie with the last person you saved in your camera roll and the last song you listened to is the title.

Was looking at Netflix's viewership data they just released for all their content (18,000+ items). At the top are mostly newer shows and comfort favorites. But The Sandman S1 still ranks #241 on the list, with 56.7 million hours of viewing between January and June 2023.
For Halloween night, my share-offering is this absolutely excellent reading of Poe's The Tell-tale Heart by Matthew Gray Gubler, the king of quirks. Every once in a while, I relisten to this and every time I am floored.
