so, i just watched the sandman cast watch party for episode six (thank you to whoever put that on youtube)

and, there were a lot of fun things in there, but the thing that struck me most was that they pointed out that this moment is the first time in the show that tom sturridge ever makes actual physical contact with another person - dream has interacted with his ravens that closely before now, but only them, no one else has ever touched him

and death is a very physically affectionate person throughout this episode, and while dream clearly isn’t bothered by it, she’s (almost) always the one to initiate it

it’s one of the reasons the end of her half of this episode stands out, because he voluntarily takes her hands there, to thank her, which is possibly the biggest proof that talking to her here helped

now, granted, neil was actually wrong in saying this was the first, there’s one moment before this, when lucienne helps him up at the end of episode one

but in all other situations, if you go back through the other episodes, dream keeps his distance with people. they may get near to him for various reasons, but there’s always that barrier of no contact, even with hob. not just before episode six, there’s precious few moments after it too. in fact, i only found three. (there's not even any more with lucienne, after dream enters the gates of his realm the closest they ever get is when passing books between each other, and they only ever touch the books)

1) desire hair grab. which, dream is always at his most childish, his least restricted, when it comes to desire, and it shows. most of what they do all day is trying to get dream to break rules, and they’ve certainly managed to flout this one, but also, desire does it to get dream to stop acting so above everything and everyone, so it's almost the inverse of death here, pushing dream to be more human

2) calliope. which, honestly, is a good example for holding to the rule, not just breaking it, because this moment they get maddeningly close, but neither one actually moves to touch the other

it’s only at the end, with calliope trying to turn over a new leaf, that she initiates it, and it clearly means so much

and 3) unity, after she dies, his only physical contact with a human we ever see. and i think, in this moment, it’s not about dream. this is about how terrible it is, that vortexes have to die for the sake of all creation, he desperately doesn’t want to kill them, every time, and he feels enormous guilt over that. and unity saved him from having to kill rose, all he can do is be grateful, and to treat her as kindly as possible

but what a great physical translation of dream’s tendency to isolate himself. his biggest problem is that because he’s not human he doesn’t think he’s capable of experiencing life the way humans do, and he ignores so many of his own needs because those are frivolous mortal things and endless should be better than that

when really the endless, despite their age and their power, are painfully human, and death is the only one who’s really worked that out, which is why she does her best to put those things back in dream’s life

and for dream, he physically removes himself from that world, from those people, from the things he wants but thinks he shouldn’t. he’s devastatingly alone, keeping everyone he’s ever known at literal arm’s reach.

people have written about him being touch starved because of the cage, and i love reading all of that, but he was touch starved long before that

Interest Check for Appreciation Event of The Sandman’s Black Characters

Hello! A few of us are trying to put together a fandom appreciation event for the Black characters of The Sandman. It would most likely run for about two weeks. We’re planning on making it a very broad sort of appreciation event, so as to include as many people as possible. So, participation is not limited to just fics and art (although those are extremely welcome!!). Participation can look like metas, headcanons, even memes—anything that centres around this beautiful cast of characters we’re so lucky to see on our screens.

We currently do not have any Black fans on our organisation team, but it’s important to us that we change that! If you’re Black and interested in helping run this event, please feel free to reach out to @tryan-a-bex or @wordsinhaled.

I love Matthew with all my heart, but consider just for a moment: an au where Unity didn't just decide to stay in the Dreaming but became Morpheus' next raven. How about that
