sorry i'm gonna be insufferable about the final casting for s2 but just. yt ppl you seriously don't know what it's like to never see yourselves in media. or to only see yourselves in side characters who might be killed off or dropped or stereotyped or denied any sort of narrative power. you don't know what it's like to believe that you're inherently undesirable because no one who looks like you ever gets a thoughtful arc. you don't know what it's like to feel as though your own life/death is foreclosed because no one who looks like you or who comes from your culture survives in mainstream media. and yeah, sure, representation is NOT liberation, but you don't know how it fucking wears on you to NEVER be visible, to be told no matter what you are NEVER legible, unless you slot into a very specific trope that serves whiteness. not YOU. never YOU.

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

you would ask dream of the endless what his pronouns are and he’d stare off into the distance and say something like “nouns…. the objects of our desire, of our hatred. in the waking world these articles are finite, but in the dreaming they are multifaceted and vast as the sea. yes… i am pro-noun. humans would be nothing without their possessions and muses - and thus, i suppose that without humans, i would be nothing as well” and matthew the raven would pipe in like “boss only ever answers to he/him don’t worry about it”

Time for a truly divisive poll

Remember, this is a poll for who you think will be the love interest, not whom you want it to be

something i find pretty funny is how the generally accepted tags for matthew and lucienne from sandman are “matthew the raven” and “lucienne the librarian,” implying that librarian is a species of its own XDD

fem!dream headcanon. dream still uses he/him pronouns but presents as a woman. thoughts?

yes, extremely good, valid

i wonder if dream's relationship to gender as a concept is actually very weird. he understands how humans view it because he has access to all unconscious thoughts. but in relation to himself it might be like

hob: so. what's your gender actually like, anyway dream: ? i am an amorphous shadow. i am an amalgamation of thoughts. ? hob: so. why is your human-ish body male then dream: because more people leave me alone

dream seems to struggle with the concept of even being a person outside his function so his personal gender identity might be too high a level at this point XD

so dream present day is fucking around with appearing as a woman because why not. 'dream' is already a gender neutral name but morpheus is undoubtedly gendered male but he just keeps using it he doesn't care.

hob is like.. alright, do you want to use like 'she' pronouns or something dream: do whatever you want idc hob: *refers to him as 'she' at some point* dream: nope i've decided I Do Not Like Change hob: figures

secondary headcanon: the endless with the most concrete understanding of their own gender identity is actually desire. and desire doesn't even have a concrete singular identity but unlike everybody else they actually thought about it.

hob, trying to get to the bottom of this: so why are you [insert gender they were presenting in at the time] destiny: because the book deems it so hob: extremely normal, thanks death: well, it may be reductive but a lot of humans have an impression of women as more kind and soft and motherly so it helps in my work. after all, my job is to give them what they want, not what i think they should want. hob: okay that makes sense, thanks for having an actually normal answer destruction: i wanted to be able to lift a truck with one hand and this form seemed expedient at the time hob, strangled: ...thanks desire: okay so [ninety minute diatribe] hob, whiplashed: thanks very cool despair: i'm contractually obligated to suffer more hob: creepy, thank you delirium: pretty :) hob: alright thanks for the elaboration

hob: that answered nothing for me thanks guys

Casual reminder that in order for Nuala to have fucked with Barbie's dreams, she was given some sort of power by Morpheus, strong enough to meddle in dreams and two, he NEVER punished her for messing up with his work.

This is actually the panel that triggers this very famous interaction.

Not only did he not punish her for messing with the dreams of mortals, HE PRAISED HER!

Tell me she was not important to him again.

Try me.

I'm genuinely going insane over this

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this fucking cat has a similar "silent-angry-bitch-face" to Dream 😭😭😭
