Rising from the dead to share this painting and then disappear again

I have spent over 90 hours of my life on this thing because I have had the brain rot for the last 2 years of my life (almost 20 if you count when I first read the comics) and it had to express itself somehow

Hope this dramatic bitch feels appreciated

(A Dream of Morpheus, handmade egg tempera on panel, 12x18 inches...if by any chance you'll be at SDCC or Gen Con, I'll be at booth 934/936 at the first one and Art Show #13 at the second one - come see the original, maybe get a print, or just yell/cry about Sandman with me?)

And here, have some more details - I had fun combining some favorite elements from both the comic and the show ♡

DREAMLING AU↳ loyal knight and true by @tharkuun

The second time Sir Robert Gadling came to court, following an invitation for an exclusive tournament, was the first time he met the crown prince. His name was Dream, and he was known already as He Who Heralds the Stars, and Hob wanted more than he had ever wanted before. Hob knew instantly that he would spend the rest of his life at Prince Dream's side, but first, he had a tournament to win.

there’s a thing I think about sometimes when I’m writing that I call ‘the rabies condition’

by which I mean: there are no contraindications to getting the rabies vaccine for post-exposure prophylaxis.

every other vaccine usually has a few contraindications like ‘don’t take this if you’re allergic to it’ or ‘if you’re pregnant discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor’ or ‘don’t give to children below age 6′ or something, but not the rabies vaccine. if you’ve been exposed to rabies, there is literally no medical reason that can justify not getting the rabies vaccine–you can be deadly allergic to literally every single ingredient and the correct decision is still to administer the vaccine, because if you don’t, you’re 100% guaranteed to die of rabies. even the life-threatening allergies are a step up in survival rate (especially since anaphylaxis is something that can be managed, even if there are risks associated with it)

which is to say, the rabies condition: if a character has been ‘exposed to rabies’, aka, in some impending absolute worst-case scenario, like the apocalypse or some death curse or the destruction of their entire city via demons or whatever, then that character has to take action and the consequences and risks no longer matter, because literally any other outcome would be better, and 1% chance of survival is still better than 0%. that doesn’t make those actions necessarily good, the same way that injecting yourself with something you know you’re deadly allergic not a good thing to do, but it’s still better than dying horrifically of rabies. desperate times and desperate measures etc

and then, after your character’s prevented some horrible thing by doing some almost equally bad thing, they should absolutely experience the consequences of those choices.

Maggie Smith and Kenneth Williams 

“Professionally Kenneth was cheered up by his greatest female friend, Maggie Smith, with whom he appeared in a dazzling revue back in 1957. Mags, as he called her, once claimed her entire career was an impression of him. Her part as the dowager in Downton is in no small part Kenneth Williams in drag.” (source: express.co.uk)

english words i see get mixed up weary - tired wary - cautious ex: i am weary of hearing about the dumbshit stuff the US administration is doing, yet i remain wary of what they might come up with next thighs - upper half of legs tights - thin formfitting garment you wear on the lower half of your body ex: you can pull your tights up your thighs, but the opposite is a bit more difficult trash - garbage thrash - flail about or beat ex: if you don't take out the trash i am going to fucking thrash you feel free to add your own!

the real challenge of adulthood that no one tells you about in advance is how many goddamn pieces of paper you have to keep up with that are never important until they are suddenly VERY important
