okay but seriously im rereading a game of you to try and understand what the fuck dream saw in thessaly and like. no! it’s not any easier to understand the second time!

like i know we’re told later that a lot of their courting happened off screen but like. this is all we get, in game of you, that isn’t outright hostile

and then the next time it’s brought up in the comic we’re told that they dated for a couple months and then broke up and dream is very much Not Over It

is this you flirting? is that what this is? was your point of commonality that you’re both incapable of being normal? crack? is it crack you smoke?

like, okay, thessaly later realises she was never actually in love with him she just thought she was, so i won’t question her motives too much, he’s pretty, fair enough

but dream???? this is the relationship you flooded the dreaming for three weeks over? you abhor murder and she does casual necromancy and mutilation for fun. literally all we’ve seen her do on screen is make your life harder with fucked up witch magic

were you just bored, and she was the only immortal around? or do you get a kick out of dating someone who is so opposed to your own existence, to the point where you genuinely loved her? (or at least believed you did)

like look normally im of the opinion that merv is a little too critical of you and brief lives’ “real life. that’s what guys like him never have to face up to” quote is a good example, but in this case if you’d been disrupting my life for three weeks over this bullshit i would punt you through a wall with a broom myself

#in all of dream's other relationships (except perhaps calliope) i will agree that he was the asshole there #but like. thessaly literally says at one point she never understood why dream had a problem with murder #this is who you let ruin your life?#like there's never any one cause of a tragedy it's always a million pieces swirling together to form a single path #and any other cause i will analyse with poetry and reverence bc this is a beautiful story #dream/thessaly is just if two immortals were on the moon and one of them killed the other with a rock would that be fucked up or what #the sandman #dream of the endless #thessaly #a game of you #brief lives #sandman comic spoilers #mine
