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.

Me and Tom Sturridge holding hands, talking about Sandflower? I am God's favourite and he is my Nuala co-chair president actually.

Cause one thing me and bestie will do each year is yappa in a deeply engaging conversation about several subjects for far too long.

It also helped he remembered who I am.

ALSO THIS CHOICE OF PANEL TO SIGN?!

My co-chair absolutely.

Tom Sturridge at Comic Con Holland '24

Promised to tell you guys how my meeting with Tom Sturridge went so here it goes!

Okay so I work at Comic Con Holland, assisting guests. I was working that weekend and unable to see Tom. Which was a total bummer. However, I was backstage a lot. And he walked by a couple of times, but I was too shy or busy to say hi. At the end of the day I was very bummed and sad that I wasn't able to speak to him. So during my break I was standing in a corridor backstage, talking (and crying lol) on the phone with my brother. Because according to his assistant he would leave the building at five-ish. But it was six already! I of course thought he had left and my dreams were utterly shattered.

So I was venting about to my brother when- all of a sudden- I saw Tom running like, SPEEDING through the hall past me as if his life depended on it. I was amazed and confused, and I told my brother on the phone "hold the fuck up he's still here?". Turns out that yes, he was still here. My colleague who was assisting him, walked up to me and said: "hey! I arranged something for you!"

And I was like: "????? U wot m8?"

AND THEN, Tom walked out of the backstage room towards me and he said HI and I said HI and- I went on to tell him how much Sandman has meant for me and how important his performance has been and I thanked him for it. Honestly I was mesmerized by him, I knew he was a good casting for Morpheus. But tRUST ME, when I saw him in real life I could only think; he is perfect for the role of Morpheus, it is like as if he just jumped straight out of the comic panels itself. It was mind boggling how much he looked like Dream. So we talked for a little while, he was very touched by my words. We shook hands, asked me my name, he told me his and then he left for his ride!

Big ✨slay✨ of the day

+bonus: 

He's just a little inmortal dude living his best life
