Comic-con Tom is back!

Quick recap: Tom showed up in a fit we've seen before cuz that's just who he is (and I respect that). Host was giving kind of a weird energy ('she's asking if you'd like to be punished'???), but okay, no harm done and we don't have to shit on random dudes.

He got asked some of the same questions from earlier cons and some new ones. In summary: Sandman s2 is halfway through filming, the helmet is real and you can see through the eyes, eternal waking is a worse punishment than eternal sleeping, he likes dark Belgian chocolate, he got into acting through Punk Rock, his main inspiration in portraying Dream was the the novels (rather than something external to them), a fav scene to act was the dinner table scene with all siblings in upcoming s2, he'd like to be Destiny so he can live alone in a garden and read, main characteristic of s1 Dream was Dream finding his connection to humanity, fav line is I Am Hope, he's excited to watch Dead Boy Detectives, embodying Dream had its challenges, little to no CGI was used in creating the other versions of Morpheus (iykyk), he tried meeting Morpheus in his dreams, working with Neil was wonderful, he wants to work with great creators (people 'cleverer than him' as he always puts it), he's done a lot of dark roles and if it's happening this many times, he guesses there must be a kinship between those and his personal self (mmhmmm?), for filming he wakes up/starts for the studio around 4 a.m. and starts giving shots around 9 a.m.- time between that is hair+makeup and getting into character, and last and definitely the least, he got asked to do the Dream voice yet AGAIN (please don't do this, people).

It was really, really good to see him. Watch the full video at Klara Himmel's channel.

An Update

Dream: You dare suggest one such as i might need your companionship

Hob: Yes, yes i do!

Dream:

Dream: Then I'll take my leave and proof you're wrong

Hob:

I can't be the first to make this connection

Really weird how many of you worship Shane and Ryan so hard that you're like "They have a right to be paid for their art!! Stop being a brat and support them!!"

Like it's not about whether or not I want them to make money. Obviously I do. It's about how they:

teased this as a big exciting update

have been dropping serious amounts of cash on shows that no one asked for

hinted in the video that they are doing this so that they can continue to do the big expensive shit that no one asked for

keep reminding us that Steven drives us a Tesla for some godforsaken reason

are acting like everyone on earth can afford the subscription and that international exchange rates don't exist

skipped over a million other options like patreon shows and ad-supported independent streaming before jumping straight into thinking they deserve a streaming service

Like can you stop being parasocial for one second and realize how fucking terribly this has been handled. They are showing zero respect to their audience both in their decision and how it was presented. Can you not look at that and think "Huh, maybe my guys fucked this one up?"

OMFG THIS COMMENT. GUISE. THAT LAST SENTENCE IS SO FUCKING RAW

more hours have passed since the watcher streamer announcement and i shouldn't have gone on twitter because the way people are talking about steven lim is pissing me off. just because you lot like ryan and shane more doesn't mean that y'all can say any damn thing about steven like wtf is this

REALLY??? a guy who sacrificed his own creative output to take on the financial responsibility for a company with two co-founders who categorically did not want to deal with the money side of things (all things that three of them have confirmed on camera during one of the making watcher episodes) is equivalent to a Yale jackass who cheated on his wife and let down his business partners? y'all have lost the plot.

choosing to limit your own creative projects and getting your hands dirty with the most stressful part of the job -making ends meet for your company and making it survive - so that your other two business partners can make the content they like to their heart's content is the kind of sacrifice that would put most of you in a grave. fuck off.

don't make this a "steven lim is a villain" thing. you're allowed to be upset at the announcement but pinning the anger on steven is unfair and unmerited.

I want to be Matthew
