Apparently there was some kind of race scheduled at a local park or something so I've been trying to avoid the main trail but a little while ago when I had to cross near it I overheard the following shouted exchange

Higher feminine voice: woo, look at you go! You're jogging! Keep it up!

Lower masculine voice (panting): you know it! Last place is still a place, baby!

And goddamn if that didn't rewire my brain a little bit.

Last place is still a place, baby.

I read an interesting post on Sandman ship potential, that quite fairly pointed out that in canon, Dream literally never tells Hob anything about himself. And that in some respects, it's a very unequal relationship in that sense. 

But it got me thinking about a different way to take Dreamling, to the way we often take the ship in fanon. If the true joy Dream finds in Hob's companionship is the complete detachment he offers from his duty. That the escapism of self for Dream, meeting Hob as a total stranger, is part of the appeal. Could we reframe this in an almost Mélusine way of, don't ask, just love?

A relationship based on, I don't want you to KNOW me, but I do want you to know ME. In which Dream purposely requests that Hob never ask who or what he truly is. He never wants Hob to know of his checkered history, his cosmic burden. Just love his ‘stranger’ unconditionally without that knowledge. Which to be fair, Hob's already been doing for the past how many centuries? 

Of course they'll be an inevitable fallout, in the way these myths always go. And a chance at reconciliation. (I have the idea of Hob breaking his vow, playing a part in Dream's self determined demise. Only for Hob to learn the truth and step in just in time to stop it, rotating round my mind at present.😅) 

But I thought it was a different kind of AU if nothing else.

① Dream's throne is very high and there's actual bird poop on the 16th step.

② Dream's bedside book is 「My Priest Among The Poor (1925) 」by Clément Vautel.

③ There are buckets everywhere because when Dream's in a really foul mood it rains.

④Tom is a cat.（√）

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 2.04

[captainjackscoat]

you're yasmin khan. an alien lady drags you along to her adventures. you fall in love with her. you come out of the closet. she hits you with the good ol' "im not ready for a relationship" but it's ok you can be cool with that. then you part ways cause she regenerates into david tennant. you find a support group of people who are in pretty much the exact same position as you (weird!).

fastforward 2 weeks and you find out your alien wlw situationship is now going on his adventures with someone else with whom he's instantly opening up to (sad!). next support group session you find out he got married in the regency era with a geeky guy he met 2 hours prior (wtf??). a year later you wake up in a world where everyone's been brainwashed to wish the gay away and your alien wlw situationship is once again married but is now homophobic

For the record, it at least was legit.
