I've thought a lot about 1980s Hob (because he's sexy) and yeah he's dressed very smart and he has his funky little car and he looks like one of Thatcher's baby entrepreneurs BUT I take your businessman Hob and raise you JOURNALIST Hob who is very very good at sniffing out the best stories and political scandles. Because he looks like a very nice clean cut chap, he hangs out in the right bars and clubs and important people just tell him things, sometimes, and he wants to use his powers as a gossip magnet for good. He knows exactly who is sleeping with who and who is stealing money or dodging taxes and he sells stories to the tabloid papers in order to pursue what he really wants to write about ie critical pieces about the falklands war and the treatment of aids patients and the destruction of industry and working people's jobs. And so people know him as the guy who has all the best sleazy stories, and maybe only a few people read his other columns. But he doesn't mind because even if he reaches one person, its better than doing nothing. And he's just a little bit of a bastard really, so he enjoys causing chaos and watching rich people get dragged through the mire of public opinion. And he's so excited to tell Dream about his new career, but he never gets to :( now I made myself sad oops.

Also thinking about how much Corinthian is Dream's antithesis and how thats kinda the whole point. Where things are sacred for Dream, they're pointless for Corinthian. (Insert other comparisons here when. I've watched more.)

Not to mention, Corinthian is a nightmare- created to be scary, but hes honestly pretty approachable if you Dont Know That hes a Serial Killer. And Dream is a complete miserable sop if you dont know him who represents a lot of hope and wonder. And their outfits being opposites. Funky lil guys. Thanks, Neil.

I'm bad at identifying accents and I think everyone else here is too. But. Isn't constantine meant to be scouse not cockney. Everyone here keeps saying cockney and I think that's what jenna colemans doing but idk. Regrettably I have lived in the South West all my life and don't know the nuances of either

I am loving that just about every character in this series in queer, but I'm about sick of Black folks getting killed in every episode.

i do like sandman a lot, but episode 5 is so. the little will-they-won't-they flirty dance the show does with having a homophobic subplot is so cowardly alkdjalkdja.

like having bette tell marsh "judy's so pretty, she could have any man in town. some people are just afraid to be happy" because she disapproves of her gf, and then having her try to set judy up with mark, is very clear lesbophobia. it's not subtle, and judy's character is heavily impacted by that, as evidenced by her "everyone here judges me, you all think i'd be so much happier if i just fucked a dude" conversation with john.

which just makes the #plottwist that actually bette's just saying that because she wants to get with judy... ineffective writing?

1. it undercuts a major part of judy's character, in the same way that the classic "i wouldn't do that if i were you" "why, because i'm a woman?" "no, because (enter plausible reason here)" gotcha that people use to show that their male character is a #feminist (and thus making the female character look like a paranoid and judgemental bitch), undercuts their female characters. it renders her genuine frustration at the bigotry she faces harmless, because the bigotry she faces doesn't actually stem from people hating her for being a lesbian. and

2. Literally What Is The Point Of That Twist. like if they wanted to cut out the homophobia subplot from the comics, they could have cut it entirely? just not included any lesbophobia, and had bette be critical of donna without adding the boyfriend comments. but instead they like... half included it, in a way that cuts all the meaning and impact away from it. so the homophobia just ends up... a fun callback for comic fans to pick up? without digging any deeper into why those homophobic comments are present in the story, because the writers were afraid that portraying genuine homophobia might alienate their queer audience. bit silly.

Me when almost any sandman character is on screen:

I am so gay, oh my god, oh- oh my, god. W-what the f-uck

[fucktheroyals]

This is a warning for comic Sandman spoilers even tho im gonna try and be super vague but that last scene with Hob and Dream actually tears my heart open. Like what happens has to happen, In the situation you can't have Hob be doing anything else but what he does but that dream? I. I don't know how to explain but it tears my heart wide open.

[luixa]

Why is dream's eyes so goddam sad?? That man(?) Has the saddest most moisty eyes I have ever seen

[lungsareforlove]

I asked my uncle about the sandman and he said "puro man yun kabaklaan" (eng: it's just all about gays) I asked him if he watched it already and he said no XD
