Me on the bird app just now after seeing this...🤣🤣🤣

Quite right. Let us never forget that Ben is Charlie’s daddy. 😂💗

Also, Ben’s probably at least met Charlie’s daughter by now (since he and Charlie lived in the same building when he was filming The Punisher and they got to hang out more often), so doesn’t that make Ben a grandfather, too? 🤭

the absolutely unhinged slutty behavior of dunstan thorn and una at the beginning of stardust followed immediately by dunstan being a sweet daddy is what makes ben barnes so attractive.

Okay, I know they know played father and son in Stardust, but this pseudo-familial trait of putting their damned boots up on the furniture is ridiculous!! 😂

"#And if we consider the canon (?) that St. Dunstans aka the Dying God from s2 is the one who originally created the Shaman and Rock" YO WAIT WHAT
OH. SHIT. AHAHA. OKAY. LMAO let me try and explain. this skdldjdkd AS A FOREWARNING THO!! this is all just. What I've pieced together from Daytrippers idk if it's TRUE ive never gotten conformation yknow!!!!!!! Okay! Anyway!
BASICALLY! Throughout Daytrippers, St. Dunstans seems to be talking about a past and constant conflict with a demon or devil of some sort? He refers to it a couple different times:
You keep away your Cloven Hooves! Your forked lying tongue!
I see you still, you creep around these parts. 
And I knew, there was nothing to you. A tale and a mask and a fright’ning story.
Decades of conflict,
I had kinda had my suspicions that this was the original Shaman, which were more or less confirmed in WHY, which is the episode right after Bru's "please, one more time" monolouge, when St. Dunstans says this specifically:
I remember what I saw. Your broken, beaten form, ‘Please’ you said, ‘Please, one kind mercy for an old enemy’
In reference to the Demon/Devil, which sounds a lot like the "Please, one more time," line that Kane says in K&F v the Town Council, and is repeated and emphasized in WHY.
Going through the transcripts, every time St. Dunstans refers to the Demon, it kinda parallels something Kane has said or done.
So the scared, the lonely, the lost, were within your grasp. It is too much, far too much.
This line is similar to when Kane says:
It’s all in me Brutus! it’s fractured and mirrored, and fractured and mirrored, but I kept it!
(^ its worth noting that when he says that line, Kane seems to b in pain/straining, and it seems like its too much magic for him, which is. A whole other thing BUT. Not the time) (also this isnt the only example but im trying to keep this as short as possible)
anyway! It seemed to me that this was implying that the Devil/Demon was the original Shaman, like I said before, which is only reinforced by the fact that his name is fucking. LUCIFER.
It's also reinforced with the fact that THIS:
Tumblr media
Is literally on Kanes official tarot card!!! Its literally a Demon and a monk/saint arguing or fighting or something!
The final, seemingly obvious confirmation that Kane and this Demon or Devil were both incarnations of the Shaman was with this:
In the last monologue from St. Dunstans he says:
And on that Day, I decided, to be the Thorn forever in your palm
which is directly said/referenced again at the end of that episode when the Thornbush Princess dies:
KANE: She’s gone. There is a thorn in the palm in my hand. 
the Princess and everything else weird about Twomy is a manifestation of this dying God/saint, and leaving that thorn in Kane's hand was directly fulfilling St. Dunstans promise??
anyway!!!!! I dont think that St. Dunstans created the Shaman, but i DO think that he created the Rock.
In HOW, he seems to be talking to the Shaman, and almost sympathizing with it, and understanding that the Shaman/Demon won't be able to take on all of the magic/keep the universe balanced by himself.
In reference to this, and seemingly speaking TO the Shaman/Demon, St. Dunstans says:
But I didn’t wish for you to be alone, in your struggles. 
It's already been established that Kane and Feels need each other/depend on each other/are "the grounding point and the man without ground"
To ME, in MY OPINION, the "I didnt wish for you to be alone" line seems to imply that St. Dunstans either created and/or appointed someone else to be the Demon/Shaman's opposite, to help the Shaman, to be the Rock, yknow??? And thats where the original Shaman and Rock come from?
It also could be that St. Dunstan created the Rock to ground the Shamans powers, maybe in an attempt to weaken the Shaman?????? Idk
It's also interesting and worth noting that in the first season, Kane (the Shaman/Demon/Devil) accidentally kills Alice (the SUCCESSOR of St. Dunstans), however temporarily, in Wonderland.
To ME this kinda feels like the Shaman, not Kane, making an attempt to kill its tormentor/enemy, St. Dunstans, who at that point I think was using Alice as kind of a host?
Like Kane even seems confused and appalled when Alice appears to be dead, and I wonder if that was because of the Shaman acting on its own volition, and just using Kane as a vessel to get what it wanted for all these years y'know?
This is so incoherent and rambly I'm sorry please lemme know if you need me to clarify anything further. and ALSO AGAIN I COULD BE TOTALLY WRONG IDK JACK SHIT THIS IS JUST WHAT IVE KINDA PUT TOGETHER!!!!!
I'd really recommend reading the Daytrippers transcripts cause I'm sure there's stuff thats relevant to this that I also missed!!!
TL;DR: St. Dunstan, seemingly having been in an age old battle with an entity I THINK is the original Shaman, created the Rock to help the Shaman, in a moment of pity and sympathy.

Both Edward [III] and Philippa [of Hainault] were conventionally devout, and Edward inherited a large collection of holy relics from his father, his grandfather, and his mother. Among many others, he owned a thorn from the Crown of Thorns, a fragment of the True Cross, the blood of St. George, the blood and hair of St. Stephen, a ring of St. Dunstan, and the head of one of the eleven thousand virgins. All these precious items were kept under lock and key at the Tower of London. Sometime before early 1336 Queen Philippa appears to have made a vow to go on pilgrimage to the Holy Land, to Rome, and to Santiago de Compostela. The pope gave permission for her confessor to commute the vows as the queen could not & conveniently observe them, though she was held to other vows of 'continence and chastity'; which she had taken. Philippa was also given papal permission to eat meat on days of fasting and abstinence, 'on advice of her physician'. This may indicated that Philippa struggled with religious limitations on food during her many pregnancies or perhaps when she was menstruating, or may even indicate that she suffered from low blood sugar and that the problem was severe enough that she and her physician sought papal intervention.
— Kathryn Warner, Philippa of Hainault: Mother of the English Nation

If anyone (including @neil-gaiman if he so desires) has insight to this, I’d really appreciate the insight or other interpretations.
The wizard guy in Stardust promised Dunstan Thorn his heart’s desire as payment for rent, but it wasn’t very clear what that ended up being. I feel like we’re supposed to believe it was a wild night with the fairy girl, but at the time it was promised, he didn’t know her. While good sex is a believable want for an 18 year old boy, I thought it also could be Daisy Hempstock’s hand in marriage or giving her a kiss because he had been into her for a while and he hadn’t gotten any private time with her since they went on supervised dates. Also the fairy girl was someone he didn’t know upon being paid that.
But the book also said the fairy had taken his heart as payment for the flower, so I assume it could be that he wanted her somehow if that was what his heart desired after meeting her.
My assumption as of now is that the wizard dude meant “heart’s desire” in the way other people say “you’ll owe me a favor in the future.” It could be anything up until specifically decided.
