Round Two/1, Poll

Jon J Muth

VS

Michael Zulli

Muth vs Zulli, oofft. We kept the panels of round one for consistency and added a second one each to make them more comparable in terms of character and angle.

To the left, you see both artists’ renditions of Morpheus (the original entry for Muth and a new one for Zulli).

To the right, their depictions of Daniel (the original entry for Zulli and a new one for Muth).

If you’d like to read up on background information, look at wonderful art appreciation for both and refresh your memory (especially with regard to the issues they created), you can do this here, plus have their Sandman issues again:

Jon J Muth: The Wake #74, “Exiles”

Michael Zulli: The Doll’s House #13, World’s End #53, The Wake #70-73

And you will need some of that info, because for round two, we would like you to still tell us about your favourite artist and why you chose them, but we want to see panels (or other art like commissions) that contain their depictions of Dream you like least.

We like our artists and often have blinkers on when it comes to consistent portrayal and art style because we are in love with a handful of panels. So we’d like you to challenge your own bias and basically give us reasons not to like your favourite artist. We’re mean like that 😉

And remember, you are still not voting for storylines/arcs, but Dream design.

Who is your favourite, and why are you still sticking with them even after showing us your least favourite Dream depictions? Let us know in the comments/reblogs.

Here’s the poll to vote for your favourite if you want to see them again (you can find the whole bracket and some additional info here, and feel free to check out previous matches via the tag #sandman march mania):

BIG OOFFT OVERKILL 10 IS SHIPPING THIS WEEKEND. MAKE SURE YOURE SIGNED UP THIS SH*T IS LIMITED 👾

[hugmekenobi]

I am utterly obsessed with todays episode!!

Nice seeing Phee but oofft her saying Tech’s name 😣😣

The family dynamics were popping off today!! Between Omega helping Crosshair with his mental healing journey and Hunter getting a concerned dad moment and being a concerned brother about Crosshair’s hand… I was thriving!!

Crosshair realising just how much he’s missed 🥲

Very happy to see Hunter being that authoritative and not messing around when it came to sorting a deal out with Fennec 🫣🥵

Fennec my love 😍🥵 but the audacity of u to not know Wrecker’s name and call out the fact that they lost Omega 😔😰😥

Was really vibing with Wrecker’s with “I really can’t be bothered with this bounty hunter” vibe throughout the mission

They had the chance to right the wrong of S2 but of course “the air on this planet will kill you” so they keep his helmet on and don’t give me Hunter with wet hair… what’s it going to take 😩😂

[anteroom-of-death]

Honestly Zemo and I would get along and make a good couple.

I too am a bisexual with hyperfixations and all my anger towards others somehow turns into suicidal revenge plans.

Trauma bonding too!

[harryandmeghansussex]

Archie and Lilibet have been Prince and Princess since 8th September 2022 when their Grandfather became King. That's a legitimate fact. Royal Reporters, certain fans and haters alike, trolls etc can say what they'd like but need to stop acting like this is a scandal.

@museswithattitude​ asked:❛ you can kiss me, you know. ❜ Sersi x Blade kiss meme // no longer accepting

She’s stunned for a moment, gaze focused on the vampire as the words slowly sink into her head. He was forward, maybe far more forward than she would expect from someone she hadn’t known for long.  But truthfully she craves some sort of companionship, after so long without the person she considered her true love would it be wrong to indulge in something else for a change. She feels wrong about it even with how much she would like to toss her worries to the wind.  ❝ Your confidence is... extreme.  ❞

A small sigh falls from her lips as she begins to close the distance between them, hands laying on his chest. Excitement and nervousness washes over her.  ❝ Well?  ❞

DANI’S IN THE PORTUGAL SQUAD CONGRATS DAD

[gubler-me-up]

The look on his face when you show up at the BAU and acting like you’ve never met him before. Corner you in the elevator and make sure everyone hears you scream his name. Oofft

Yes this!! He would volunteer to escort you down to the lobby and you can see on his face he isn’t impressed with your act. As soon as you two are in the elevator and the door closes, he turns you around and pushes his body up against you and you can feel his hands caress up your thighs as he says, “I’m going to make sure you never forget my name again.”

[wrathfulpleasure]

“Hold up imma google something.”

“...”

“...average tongue length is 3 inches? Lmaooo”

He opens his mouth wide, almost reaching in as he starts to pull his tongue out. He lets it hang there, getting out a rule as he tries to figure out it’s length.

“Oofft tfffst likfe...tenf incfes? Maybfe twelfe?? Damnf.” He promptly shoves it back into his mouth, black-like saliva ruining the couch.

“Whoops.~”

Hi saph!!! I hope your birthday went well 💙

Thank you so much kris!!! It did go well!! I’ll give you some imaginarybirthday cake *hands over some salted caramel Victoria sponge* :’)

I have exams in about an hour from now tho oofft 😖

[rvspecter]

this is so wrong 🫶🏻

1. S5 we all agree and if u don’t agree GET OUT GET OUT!!!!!!

2. how r we not going straight to s2. this season is SO FUN but also the liberty rail drama? I AM HERE I AM ALWAYS HERE (except when I am elsewhere) and half noon hello? the best fun episode?

3. s1 the best writing but we r still establishing characters so i put this below s2 but i think the writing is better. but we don’t go as deep as s2 and i am less emotionally invested until we hit the back end of s1 and then i get scottie and tanner and Cameron Dennis and Harvey’s guilt over putting a teenager away for something he didn’t do LETS GO!!!

4. S4. INTENT to NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE. I LIVE HER FOREVER U CAN ALWAYS FIND ME HERE!! But also Pearson, Specter LITT. Remember that episode? Louis finding out about Mike was so good!!! I also enjoyed the banking investor arc more the second time watching it because I appreciated the sexy rivalry (the sexiness was all from harvey just fyi)

5. S3 i hated ava hessington. there has never been a greater time suck of a character. but i very much appreciated the harvey and Jessica interactions ! I might actually rank s6 above s3 hold on im changing my mind midplay!!!!

Ok actual 5. S6 GOOD ANGST. Harvey unhinged and then DEPRESSED. Omg so tasty. Also the cahill/harvey scenes had me OOFFT!!!! OOOFTTTT!!!! they were very inspiring ok!!

but i was screaming at mike the ENTIRE SEASON!! 😡😡😡

6. S3 but also could be s6 they r tied i am very indecisive

UGH DO I NEED TO RATE 7 and 8

7. S7 i think 7 is better than 8. Better darvey drama. Also better darvey in general!!! YES I WAS SO INTO DONNA ALMOST SLEEPING WITH THAT GUY WHOEVER IT WAS!!! So into it my gawd. Yeah and the kiss angst YEAH LETS GO MY GAWD YESSS

8. S8 is no but i loved donna losing faith in harvey YES YES ALSO LETS GOOOOOO. yeah and the finale hey 🧎🏻‍♀️🧎🏻‍♀️🧎🏻‍♀️

9. S9 we knew this

@lesbiandarvey and i need to know ur season rankings of suits

she is wrong. u will probably be wrong too but we’d love to know what it is!!!

Ooooh god okay well yes i am sure i am wrong because tbh so much of it blends together that I did have to look up season summaries on wikipedia just to distinguish seasons 2 and 3 oops!! but here goes...

Season 5. Literally the best of the whole show, so fucking stellar, whoops!!!! this season is everything to me. it was so good that as i watched it, i was so hyperaware that i was watching a spectacular season of television. history was made.

Season 6. IMO a very solid follow up to season 5, still high drama, Harvey is a trainwreck, Rachel is doing her best, Mike is in prison and all that shit is going down. Idk. I thought it vibed.

Season 2. Controversial jump, but idk something about it goes pretty hard, 2x07 fantastic and rough episode, Daniel Hardman as the main antagonist adds a lot

Season 7. honestly gets this rank just for "are you okay" "will you come back" and isn't top 3 bc of the paula arc oops! also missing jessica hours!!

Season 3. While I personally was NOT fan of the Pearson Darby arc, the Hessington Oil case was by far (to me) one of the most appealing and interesting season-long cases that they dealt with. lots of twists and turns that kept me interested!!!!

Season 1. Classic. What can I say?

Season 8. I'm actually not a hater of this season and I enjoyed it quite a bit, but compared to the other seasons it's a bit lower, but want to emphasize I AM A SEASON 8 DEFENDER!!!!

Season 4. Oh god I hate this season so much. It only ranks above Season 9 because of episodes 4x10-4x16.

Season 9. You saw this coming. We all did

care to share either of your rankings? @rvspecter @lesbiandarvey

[fuckyeahmozalieri]

Mozalieri prompt: working on Per la ricuperata salute di Ofelia.

oofft  I came here to have a good time and you come here calling me out, my wips are shaming me in the corner and I’m a weeping mess. (joke) I had this idea of a 4 chaptered fic where Salieri and Mozart would like fall in love/start a relationship and like Salieri would have all those panic attacks cos he is a disaster gay like that. It was glorious but I’m looking to write less long fics right now. It’s a good prompt tho. And I think this was even like the follow up plot of the BDSM and opera stealing fic I wrote -> cos Salieri would be like angsting hardcore and thus failed operas, and basically this was them forced to work together and be confronted. But things work out and it becomes a very successful piece and it would like be a parallel to Salieri’s psychological well being. Aww shit this message is really basically: Shiva, buddy, just write that follow up. T^T Love you anon, you’re right. But I’m not sure if I can right now (I’m too intimidated), I think I need a fresh plotbunny. Lowkey proud I didn’t even have to look this up I knew exactly which time period and opera this was

What transpires after that takes both Jensen and his new friend, by surprise.

-------------------------

Q & A With The Writers!

During this live stream, we asked everyone to join in and ask questions to the writers you want to know more about...the write up is below :)

- If you could collab with any other writer on here, who would it be? Alex ( @whatareyousearchingfordean​​) : @superfanficnatural​  because of the male reader aspect/sides of things! 

Emory (@emoryhemsworth​) : I’d like to collab with @winchest09​ (Tabby)

- Has anyone ever guessed the plot twist of one of your fics before you posted it?

@talesmaniac89​ : This did happen once and what was once a fluffy ending got turned into a bad ending because it was guessed. It happened once that they managed to get it so i changed it. 

- What was the last line you wrote?

@katehuntington​ :  “The cowgirl smirks and gently pushes him into the tack box in order for them both to be out of sight. Once they are safe from Bobby’s eyes, she kisses him, short and sweetly, but it’s enough to make Dean’s head spin”

- Have you ever cried whilst writing a fic?

@superfanficnatural​ : I cried to one last time, the angsty fic i wrote. I  was trying to get into the mood, i was mad, so went fuck it i’m gonna break peoples hearts. And then i cried haha.

- Can you tell us what writers you really admire?

@emoryhemsworth​ :   All of you are included in this live stream, that’s a given but I am going to talk about people who aren’t in here.  @impala-dreamer​, @kittenofdoomage​, @supernatural-jackles​, @ravengirl94​ are just a few. In regards to Rhi (Kittenofdoomage), everything she writes is just gold. She’s not written anything that’s bad! For Beka (impala dreamer) I just love her as a person. Oh and @bringmesomepie56​, her fics are just amazing.  

- Have you ever amended a story due to criticisms you’ve received after posting it?

@flamencodiva​ : No, not really. My stories tend to evolve in the writing process. Underworld princess and Call of the Ocean were meant to be super different than what they are now. We realised we had changed certain plot points as we were writing but that was before we started to post it. 

- Are there any stories that you wished you’d ended differently?

@winchest09​ :  Yes and no. I’ve had stories which were originally meant to end a certain way and they changed over time. Sometimes I do wonder what the reactions would have been like if i had gone with the original ending for Shatter Me and if hadn’t have gone down the angsty road for Yesterday but then I think fics choose their own path as you write them. It felt right at the time. 

- What is your favourite genre to write for?

@malfoysqueen14​ :  Angst. Never mind the fluff, the smut, the crack, it’s all about the angst. The angst is my ultimate goal. 

- Where do you get your inspiration from?

@imjustadrummer​ : A daily situation, or films. If the kids I worked with have said something weird i’d be like…”oh yeah, hey that can be a fic!”  A lot of different places really!

- Funniest story you’ve written?

@queenbeesback​ : It was an online thing, where they met online and it took a while for them to meet up. That was quite light hearted. 

- What is everyone's favourite ships?

Everyone: Dean and Donna. Benny and Dean. Sam and Eileen. Dean and Jo. Charlie and Alex. Sam and Gabriel

- What’s your favourite trope to write?

@anathewierdo​ : Friends to lovers and enemies to lovers

- Which part of your upcoming fic was the hardest to write?

@imjustadrummer​ : Trying to work out all the clues and cleverness to it. Like codes and things, working out how to put in all the easter eggs in my upcoming fic. It’s like a treasure hunt so I need to ensure there is cleverness in there.

- If you could write only angst, fluff or smut for the rest of your writing life, which would it be and why?

@superfanficnatural​ : Oh that’s...ok...most definitely...Smuuuuttttt (pretty much how he announced it)

-------------------------

I think that’s it!

Thank you so much once again to everyone who joined the chat, we had 6 hours of laughs and i cannot wait to do it again. I’d appreciate it if you could share this to spread the love of the fics and authors on here!

Keep an eye out for the next date for our next livestream! It will be in a couple of weeks, date to be announced. If you guys have any idea’s or want something included, let us know. If you want to be tagged when we announce, let us know!

@deanwanddamons​ - tagging you babe as you asked so you can catch up on what we talked about <3 

THANK YOU.
