The LAYERS needed in a modern/human Dreamling au.  Some level of Endless family dysfunction, obviously.  Hob's family can be be dead or not, it's all good. Are they old enough to have individually gained the awareness they are off-puttingly intense and should hide it a bit at first, or still in that "no, why would I need to Elsa this" stage?
Option A is both of them trying to play it cool, like "don't scare him off" except they so badly want to go from zero to sixty.
(Death and Desire have ruthlessly drilled Dream with flashcards about how to react appropriately in situations.
Desire: it's your one-month anniversary, what do you do?
Dream: [hesitantly] NOT propose?
Desire and Death, conferring, because that's technically correct but the delivery was suspect.
Death, encouragingly: Good start. And?

Dream: a nice dinner and maybe a walk?
Desire: well done!
Death: and for a three-month anniversary?

Dream: give them a key to my flat.
Desire: [airhorn] NO. RED CARD.)
Option B makes them the classic anecdotal "my grandparents got engaged within seven days of meeting each other and still are happy together".
(Death, rubbing her temples: so you met this guy--
Dream: Hob
Death: -- Hob, and within 1 day you gave notice to the Registrar's Office and figured out the best day to get married. And Hob agreed to this?
Dream: NO.
Death: oh thank go-
Dream: Hob SUGGESTED this.
Death: . . .
Dream: are you going to be a witness or not?
Death, 29 days later in the Registrar's Office, to Hob's witness: Is he sane?
Johanna Constantine, drinking heavily from a large flask: unfortunately yes, by all legal definitions.
Death: fuck
Johanna: [passing the flask over] if your brother's even a tenth as intense as Hob, they'll be fine. Probably.
Death, brightening: Is Hob that bad?

Johanna: You know how sometimes you meet somebody and think "oof, they're a bit much, best give them a wide berth"?

Death: yeah.
Johanna: Hob's like a camouflaged hole in the ground of muchness. Except he's done the hole up all nice and he knows that sometimes you just want to be left alone in the hole to sulk and rattle the spikes for a bit, and occasionally get a F&M hamper tossed in.
Death: [hmmmmmmm'ing approvingly]
Johanna, morose: the bastard.
In the background, Hob and Dream are pressing their foreheads together and basking in each other's presence)
#dreamling#the sandman#it's underappreciated how many red flags hob probably is buried under his amiable exterior#he looked at dream of the endless and went 'yeah'#not even as a 'i can make him better'#very much as a 'i can vibe with his current state and frankly even if he was worse i'd still be like that's my husband [shrug emoji]'#'what am i supposed to do? i knew who he was when i married him'#everybody around them: [extremely done with their shit] STOP ENABLING HIM#hob: he's my goth sweetheart#dream's entire family: he's ten sulking cats in eyeliner and a dramatic coat#hob: i know :D i love him!#johanna constantine is like 'hob's insane'#and everybody's going 'oh no don't be so mean he's just a little boring next to dream'#johanna: he saw dream being dream and went 'i need to stamp my name on him. how do i permanently tie us together'#johanna: he'd never safety pin a condom but i can just see the gears turning in hob's head about how to get to spend more time with dream#johanna: just radiating smug contentment over his insane wet cat#hob: i cannot wait to spend the next 60 years with that man#hob: and ideally die in our sleep together still holding hands#death and johanna: [staring at him over their fourth round of drinks]#dream: [heart of eyes and pink of cheeks]#dream: we should never not be holding hands#hob: okay but what if occasionally we stop holding hands just to then appreciate the feeling of starting to hold hands again#dream: [mulling] acceptable#death and johanna could probably start an entire benefriends or actual romantic relationship entirely based on judging dreamling

Dear Keeley, I want you to know something. You never did anything wrong, it was all me. I was stuck. Stuck in my own shit. And I didn’t want to cause you any harm with it, so I pulled away. Sincerely yours, Roy Kent. XOXO.

The idea that kid trolls would leave Branch alone confuses me. Branch is a strange, angry troll that lives underground and only comes by the village like once a month to sell animal pelts and bones in exchange for jars and only ever jars.
Either he's a cryptid to the local children (oooh better eat your vegetables or the Moss Man will stuff you in a jar, eat you and sell your bones) or he's a test of courage for the local teenagers (they don't know where his bunker is so they just make loud noises in the woods area around it until he finds them)
Branch keeps regularly having to A) keep these kids from getting actually eaten by wildlife and B) drag them back to the edge of the village because they got so scared they passed out (and kids seeing Branch and then next thing waking up far from where they were doesn't help Branch's reputation)

You reach for him, eyes burning and throat tight. One hand cups his cheek, and the other hovers over the cracked plastron. Fuck, there's so much. There's so much red.
Somehow, he smiles.
"Don't go," you whisper. "Please. Please, I'm sorry."
Hazy eyes blink up at you slowly. His brow pinches, his plastron rising with a stutter. Like he's breathing around shards of glass. Maybe that's what it feels like. His mouth opens, and you see more red, tinting the inside of his lips.
"It's okay," he breathes. "It's okay."
His hand raises to clumsily mirror you, cupping your face. You can feel the blood smearing on your face as his thumb brushes across your cheek. His next blink is slower, and panic chokes you. Static roars in your ears. You can't tell if the ground is shaking or if that's just you.
"Don't go. Please, please, don't leave me."
He tries to speak again. You can't hear his voice anymore, but you can read his lips.
It's okay. It's okay. I love-
His hand falls away.

Did you like the Mandarin in shang-chi?
I have not seen it, so I have absolutely no opinion!
What I liked about the Mandarin in IM3 - and it's been a LONG time I've seen it, so maybe I'm remembering it more generously or without nuance - was that it could have gone the route of "Evil Chinese Person But Like Not In A Stereotypical Or Problematic Way". The root of the character is racist. The character is founded on a racist trope. You can cover that up or try and shift that, but you can't girlboss your way out of that.
While IM3 really embraced the Mandarin and made a modern day recreation of that. IM3 uses racial anxiety to create a caricature of an evil foreign terrorist that everybody buys into, which is an artificial construct created by a rich Nazi white man in order to deflect blame from his own wrongdoings. That's an actual understanding of the Mandarin, and who he is, and why he exists. It's deadass interesting. I know that got pushback, so I'm wild shot guessing that they changed Mandarin to be more Girlboss in Shang-Chi. Maybe people just thought that it was inappropriate to have the villain be a racist caricature at all, regardless off why. Or maybe people didn't actually know much about Yellow Peril and the context of the Mandarin. Literally Tony was a victim of Vietnam, not Afghanistan, and the kindly Vietamese guy who helped him was very much "awww they're not ALL evil some of them are nice and empower white people to save them :)". That is context that is genuinely lost in IM. Uh you don't have to recreate that. Not neccesary. But you get what I mean.
(An important thing that I'm also glossing over is the fact that, maybe, it's tiring to watch racial caricatures no matter what, and maybe it's nicer to watch a cool villain just be a cool villain and just throw out the racism. That's also...fine.)

hey btw these are my (main) idiots ((I have a LOT more))
Tumblr media
More below..
Tumblr media
So these are my goobers... Just a little info about them: These four are 'gods' of an RP I do with my friends. (They're also technically aliens called 'Deljarians' yadda yadda yadda i have a whole bunch of lore that idk if i'll reveal here i've made a lot over the past year or two lmao) K is generally just my persona honestly.. I use him for a lot and even designed him first out of the bunch. He's a self-proclaimed 'god of villainy' despite the fact he's not really held up that title for a while now. He's also an asshole.
Ade was the second to be designed, and he's gone through a lot of changes since his first appearance. Lil guy used to be a bloodthirsty parasite and now look at him. He wouldn't hurt a fly. :) (Unironically he is the nicest out of the four, if you can believe it.)
N was designed after Ade and K- Proclaiming he's 'the god of fate' and that his goal is to 'start the world anew.' His actual goals are clouded beneath his self-villainization and his desperateness to keep "someone" from returning. (That sadly didn't last long lmao.) Said process involves him butchering the gods. A lot.
And finally we have Kette.
If the name wasn't obvious enough, she started out as a Supercrown joke and since then has evolved into an actual character.
I once jokingly said "Oh yeah she was made from Mitosis" and now that's actually the case.
Kette is basically just K but slightly more laid back and.. female. obviously.
K and Kette beat each other up like looney tunes frequently.
Anyway, I think that's a good summary of all 4 of them. Like I said no idea if I'll post more about them or even be that active; but I thought they at least deserved A post.

God I wish there was a database where you could look up comics characters and see who knows whose secret identities in which continuity
it’s so hard to look up sometimes and I can’t reread 30 years of comics every week to check

all these guides coming out teaching artists how to (try to) protect themselves from having their art stolen for ai are so good and so valid but also you will not catch me dead modifying my art in any way to accommodate the sins of man. the world is a stupid place with stupid problems! what happens to my art after I upload it is blood on god’s hands. 100% support to anyone who goes out of their way to make their art unusable but I got other shit to do man
