So, with you being Dark Matter, does that mean that you can possess people? Have you possessed someone before? How did that turn out for you?

Doctor: As for the ...experimentation phases~ It had been discovered that Mirror Dark Matters cannot posses peoples but can freely possess inanimate objects and mangle them into our own volition~

       it  was  undeniable,  the  moment  lips  made  contact  it  felt  so  right  and  yongguk  was  certain  sunhee  felt  the  same  as  him.  two  jigsaw  pieces  fitting  together,  meant  to  be.  despite  time  standing  still,  the  kiss  ended  quicker  than  male  would've  liked  it  too,  an  itch  remaining  on  his  pair  as  eyes  were  scooting  over  sunhee's  beautiful  features,  from  her  big  doe-like  eyes,  to  the  cherry  lips  that  he  was  still  deeply  craving  a  taste  of  again.  words  leaving  her  moving  mouth  causing  a  chuckle  to  emit  from  his  own,  hand  resting  neatly  against  cheek,  tip  of  thumb  tracing  skin  just  beneath  bottom  part  of  her  lips.   "  right  back  at  you,  sunny  ...  i've  dreamt  about  this  moment.  "   had  the  moment  not  been  mutual,  those  words  could've  sounded  kind  of  creepy  in  a  sense  but,  the  dreamy  moment  made  it  seem  natural  to  confess.  gaze  meet  hers  upon  her  statement,  forehead  going  to  rest  against  hers,  allowing  tip  of  noses  to  butterfly  kiss  as  he  simply  hums  in  a  low  tone.   "  hm  ?  what  is  it  ?  "   partly  knowing,  hoping,  it'd  be  exactly  what  he  had  been  wanting  to  tell  her  all  this  time,  but  yongguk  didn't  wish  to  force  her  to  make  any  decisions  in  case  ...  just  in  case  ...  it  wasn't  as  mutual  as  he  was  feeling.

            sunhee  couldn't  tell  if  it  was  because  she'd  been  dreaming  of  this  moment  for  so  long  or  because  her  pent-up  emotions  were  finally  spilling  over,  but  she  could  confidently  say  this  was  the  best  first  kiss  she'd  ever  had.  eyes  fluttering  shut  as  she  melted  into  the  contact,  the  soft  brush  of  his  lips  against  hers  sent  a  thrill  through  her,  a  quiet  whine  escaping  before  she  could  stop  it.  as  cliché  as  it  was,  everything  around  them  faded  into  white  noise,  leaving  just  the  two  of  them  in  their  own  little  world.  even  as  she  returned  each  kiss  with  growing  eagerness,  she  couldn't  stop  the  smile  tugging  at  her  lips.  she  too,  knew  that  she  had  to  practice  restraint  -  especially  knowing  that  there  were  still  loose  ends  she  has  to  tie.  "  we  can  .  .  definitely  do  that  again  .  .  hopefully,  soon  ?  or  like,  right  now  ?  "  she  murmurs  between  kisses,  her  tone  laced  with  playful  urgency,  "  i've  .  .  always  wanted  to  do  that  with  you.  "  every  kiss  seemed  to  loosen  her  guarded  heart,  words  tumbling  out  more  freely.  taking  a  hold  of  his  hand,  she  gives  it  a  light  squeeze,  face  still  inches  away  from  him,  "  i  need  to  tell  you  something  .  .  "  she  continues,  knowing  that  it  was  obvious,  but  sunhee  thought  that  yongguk  deserved  to  know  how  she  really  felt.

I got my character design sketches in for the game today and I'm super excited about it, they look so good! Thanks so much to @haru-lucidream for the work T_T Love you!

The first little lady is Becky, she's my co-writer's character. She's got attitude and more confidence than most people will ever have in their lives. Her power is short-distance electrical-based teleportation.

Second and third lady is Juniper in different outfits. She's my character. She's cheerful, very sweet, and a dancer. Her ability is blood manipulation.

Lastly is Stephanie. She's my co-writer's character, and she's a pretty complicated but generally well-intentioned bean.

”But He Loved, He Should Have Been Forgiven”

About Free Will, Responsibility and Agency: Lucifer and Dream as Foils

Did I finally jump on the Lucidream/Dreamingstar bandwagon? No, don’t panic (or be eternally disappointed 🤣), because that quote is actually from “Murder Mysteries”, a short story that also exists in comic form (drawn by P. Craig Russell). And while it isn’t officially part of the Sandman Universe (or even DC), I always saw it as somewhat of a blueprint of how NG (re)imagined Lucifer’s Fall. There is enough in Lucifer’s characterisation in the Sandman that makes it quite plausible as a sort of backstory, especially since it was written when the Sandman was still in full swing. But more about that later…

I’ve long wanted to write a meta about Lucifer and Dream as narrative foils, and since I’ve finally started clearing out my drafts, this was a good one to do right now because we are currently discussing “A Hope in Hell” in our community (join us!). Although I have to admit that this one is rather about what transpires when Lucifer decides to abandon their realm in Season of Mists...

When Lucifer learns of Dream's impending return to Hell to finally release Nada, it solidifies their own resolve to leave (I use they/them pronouns because of the show although comics!Lucifer is male presenting apart from the plumbing and also referred to as he/him). By the time Dream arrives, Hell is nearly deserted, with Lucifer basically expelling its last inhabitants. Lucifer tells Dream they rebelled long ago, and that they are not willing to “pay for that one action” anymore. And the most profound truth they share with Dream is the nature of ultimate freedom—the freedom to leave. This is also brought up many issues later, when Lucifer says to Delirium, "I told him, you know. I told him years ago… I told him that I owed him much for having given me the impetus to go. I told him there was always freedom, even the ultimate freedom. The freedom to leave. You don't have to stay anywhere forever.”

And that’s just… ouch. Not just because it so clearly shows that Morpheus also could have left had he just chosen to (then again, he wouldn’t be Morpheus if he had, and even more “then again”: he did in certain ways), but also because we generally see Lucifer as an antagonistic force. But here, they express something akin to gratefulness. And maybe even a hint of regret that Morpheus didn’t also choose the same way. They feel almost sorry for him (my guess is they actually do, and I can never forget their face at The Wake). But what do you do if even freedom feels like a cage?

All of this ties in neatly with the crucial truth about Hell Lucifer reveals: People are there because they choose to be (and that Hell doesn’t need to be a physical place: We can make our own—any place, even in our own minds).

...this is where you wanted to be.

Lucifer explains to Dream:

"Why do they blame me for all their little failings? They use my name as if I spend my entire day sitting on their shoulders, forcing them to commit acts they would otherwise find repulsive. 'The Devil made me do it.' I have never made one of them do anything. Never. They live their own tiny lives. I do not live their lives for them.”

He continues, “and then they die, and they come here (having transgressed against what they believed to be right), and expect us to fulfil their desire for pain and retribution. I don't make them come here. They talk of me going around and buying souls, like a fishwife come market day, never stopping to ask themselves why. I need no souls. And how can anyone own a soul? No.

They belong to themselves… they just hate to face up to it.”

Which brings me to one of the most important messages (one of many) of the Sandman: People must take responsibility (and in this particular case not only for their lives but also for their afterlives, which is also a recurring theme). Each person's soul is their own, and no one can take that away. Paradoxically (or maybe not), as Lucifer abandons their own responsibilities, they urge people to take responsibility for themselves: You can drop said responsibilities, with all that entails, as long as you also take responsibility for the fallout.

So what about the wider question of free will then?

Let’s look at Lucifer's rebellion and fall for that, because both raise a lot of questions. Dream tells Lucifer that he remembers them as passionate, and Lucifer responds, “I cared about so many things. I suppose that was why everything began to go wrong. You know… I still wonder how much of it He planned. How much of it He knew in advance. I thought I was rebelling. I thought I was defying His rule. No… I was merely fulfilling another tiny segment of His great and powerful plan.”

And this brings me right to NG’s short story “Murder Mysteries”, which isn’t really officially part of the Sandman Universe, but also… it totally is 🤣. In it, pre-fall Lucifer witnesses the destruction of an angel who killed another angel they loved. Raguel (the angel formerly tasked with said destruction who now walks on earth, coincidentally mentioned in the panel above as one who might also have rebelled) narrates, “‘That was not right. That was not just.’ Perhaps Saraquael was the first to love, but Lucifer was the first to shed tears."

Later, it is revealed that God orchestrated this situation to push Lucifer towards rebellion. God needed an adversary to run Hell and says, “Lucifer must brood on the unfairness of Saraquael's destruction. And that—amongst other things—will precipitate him into certain actions. Poor sweet Lucifer. His way will be the hardest of all my children; for there is a part he must play in the drama that is to come, and it is a grand role.”

Lucifer was basically set up by God, and this somewhat revisionist interpretation of their rebellion and fall opens up larger questions about free will, agency and destiny.

Because although Lucifer's actions were influenced by God, they still carried them out and are therefore fully responsible for them. And by choosing to abandon Hell, Lucifer was taking responsibility for their own life. They faced a choice: remain in Hell as a shadow of their former self, or move on and make peace.

This fragile peace is illustrated at the end of "A Season of Mists," when Lucifer and an old man are conversing on a beach. The old man, despite having lost everyone he loved, remarks that any God who can create such beautiful sunsets couldn't be all bad. After the man leaves, Lucifer admits (basically to God), “He's got a point. The sunsets are bloody marvelous, you old bastard. Satisfied?”

And in a way, even Lucifer comes to terms with their past once they take responsibility for it.

In a way, this mirrors Dream’s arc to a tee. One could certainly argue that he was set on his path by forces outwith his control: Whatever had to happen in cosmic terms was always bigger than Dream. The Fates also held a grudge against him and Orpheus, for more than one reason. Orpheus did make the Furies cry, and they never forgave him for that. Crucially though, he was also responsible for his own actions and carried them out. Only that Dream’s choice was ultimately a different one—or was it truly? Because what is the exact definition of “walking away”? He certainly did not abandon his realm like Lucifer because he ensured it was taken care of. There is no devil-may-care (no pun intended) attitude, because even when choosing death, Morpheus does care about his realm and the dreamers. Deeply.

It is the sole reason why the ending we get is the ending we get, and why we have Daniel as Dream in the end. And while Lucifer takes responsibility for their own life, Morpheus takes responsibility for his own death. But both Lucifer and Morpheus faced a choice: remain on their paths as shadows of their former selves, or move on and make peace. And both chose the latter.

And one takeaway for us, as the readers, might be that if we find ourselves in an intolerable situation, we can always walk away, even if the price may be high. This brings us back to the theme of freedom:

The price of freedom is taking responsibility for our lives, even if we haven't been fully in control of them. The freedom to walk away might not be the ultimate freedom, as Lucifer suggests, but it is significant.

Free will in the Sandman is a topic of debate, and I tangentially wrote about it before:

Destiny carries a book that contains everything that will happen to us, all there was, is and will be. Most of all though, it contains what must happen. One could say that in this universe, there is a strong element of predestination involved. However, complaining about a lack of free will and just pointing towards Destiny’s book also misses the point:

In the end, our lives are always our own (which is mentioned several times, directly or in a roundabout way: in Façade, in Song of Orpheus, in Brief Lives, in The Kindly Ones, in The Wake).

Your life and your death are your own

Some of us might have more to overcome than others, but the sooner we accept our unique challenges (which is not the same as being passive), the more we will focus on what we can change—or what we can meet with forgiveness and (self-)compassion.

Destiny and freedom as opposite sides of the coin matter far less than what we do with them…

Amy Singing in the SCU

If we ever get a moment of Amy singing in the SCU I can definitely hear her singing these songs, particularly Smile. I'm falling in love with Kimko's singing voice. She sounds so pure and sweet like a Disney Princess. 🥰

Amy could also sing this song to Tails or even Cream the Rabbit (when they introduce her in the SCU). She'd definitely be acting the part of a comforting big sister.

Either way, if Amy does sing in the SCU franchise, I'd love to hear her with Kimiko Glenn's voice.

Merry Chrismas to you all ! :D

Even if decades had passed and many things had changed, Buddy still loves his Shard (named Lucid in the epilogue ;]). As for Shard (now named Lucid after things happened), the now Dream-Matter is, despite what happened between the Lost!SoulAU finale and the Epilogue "AU" hes still the flustered mess he used too be :] And course if you saw the little eepy Doomer birb, don't worry ! Crowny is just tired from the festivities and the pastries she ate

[lostsoulau-ask]

ho! Can Shard/Lucid and Buddy be there ? Shard/Lucid is meet first, waiting near an old Magolor Shope that hadnd been touched in a long time. After being a dad for a few dialogue, he ask for help in seeking out specific places (like the fountain of dreams, DDD's castle, the dream stalk and other places if there is) and get him an object from there (a glass of dream matter for the fountain, just object that are obtained without consequences etc). And in exchange hed give you healing items and/or some valuable. Buddy is in the shope itself, not wiling to show himself but still very much willling to act as a merchant for the time being (with Crowny having an easter egg where if you give her a pastrie, you get a Grand(?) Doomer Feather.). Buddy would have a side quest about getting apples from different places, one from the mrket, one from wispy woods and a gem apple from the mistleteen tree (where he ger unplaisantly surprised) and in exchange you get a discount on the existing items and some new ones! Theres also Doctor Somius who could be an easter egg encounter in DDD's castle where after interacting with a piece of furniture, you realise that a Dark Matter is possesing it, (depending where you are in the game its either Doc or Somi that will respond, the former being iriratd at their blown cover, while the latter just say that he was overwheled.) and in exchange for your silence, they give you some stuff to upgrade your stats.

As for Phobos hes an easter egg, only being seen for a few seconds in the corner of the screen, maybe you can talk to him, but he will not mention anything to you "after all, im just an old dream matter, the darkness isn't a place for me :3" (thats a lie, hes a Dark Matter) Nighty is the type of encounter where you check the dream fountain over and over again and after a while you hear an angry honk and after a false scare (bc dude just rose from the fountain) hed tell that there peoples that are trying to sleep here before going back in the fountain. If you check the fountain some more a much agrier honk (almost like a growl), he'll throw out of the fountain a pin/small piece of equipement for you to grab thats themed around Dream Matters.

So! Since I am working on an RPG, it'd be really funny to ask for OCs of people to add into the game and give them quests! Soo...

Give me your OC and a quest for them into the RPG and I'll see if I can add them when the time comes!

Favorite holiday?

Hoo! Thats interesting!

Comet loves the New Year's festivities (Solar and Lunar New Year :]) alongside everything that got fire works in them.

Buddy loves Chrismas! Its a comforting day alongside Shard, Crowny and the peoples he made friends with! Theres also Valentines day its a nice day with him and his mouse boi!

If Crowny had a clear consept of what a hollyday is, she would love Thanksgiving and Easter! And even more April fools day. For her Thanksgiving is a "lots of free food" day, easter is a "hunting day" and april fools is "Time for me to cause chaos"

Shard/Lucid is a big fan of Halloween and Chrismas! He tries to get a different costume each year to stay in the Halloween spirit! ...Even if after a while, Lucid will have to wear older costumes. ...Also he will be like an exited child when he sees snow-

As for Nightmare, he apreciate Thanksgiving and St. Patrick’s Day. He wont tell that he loves Easter or Halloween

And they all celebrate pride month but i think that is a given :D

Undercut are the Mirror counterpart !

MirrorComet is mostly there on Easter, she likes eating chocolate.

Tyrant apreciate St Patrick's Day the more, he won't bother much withe the others beside Thanksgiving, he despise Valentines day however-

The Doctor Somius loves halloween for the fact that since hes a fear driven Dark Matter it is not only free food but its encouraged to scare peoples. While he was not merciful in terms of scares the first few years, he had to tone it down because the Nightmare Slayer wasn't keen on causing panic. He also apreciate a lot Valentines day-

Speaking of this, Phobos used to loves New year's Eve, despite being a Dark Matter, he can't help but stare at the sky from the bottom of the Fountain. Refusing to get out due to a deep clutching fear that is still tearing him apart.
