the canon of dunmeshi makes it easy to imagine farcille with marcille as the perpetually pining party ready and willing to violate the most fundamental laws of nature for the woman she is utterly, irrevocably in love with. but.
the idea of marcille doing everything she does under the impression that falin is just her dearest most special friend that she loves with the normal platonic intensity of all girl besties while newly re-resurrected falin is shaking laios in their shared bedroom at the earliest opportunity trying to spark their two brain cells together to figure out if marcille, who she has been desperately crushing on since magic school, is actually in lesbians with her and just denser than a neutron star is infinitely funnier so that's the version of reality i subscribe to
(to sweeten the pot this makes marcille being obsessed with romantic drama and effortlessly spinning a character study of chilchuck's wife based solely on two sentences, her knowledge of him as a co-worker, and the power of her own delusions so much funnier too. too busy working that maxed out delusion stat on her unfortunate partymates to look inward for two seconds)

I love that Tom Sturridge saw the Sandman comics and was like "okay but actually what you can't see from here is that Dream is constantly on the verge of tears." He was like "you forgot to draw that part but it's okay, I've got it" and then proceeded to make the wettest most miserable version of Morpheus to ever exist.

the law of consciousness.
it's called the "law of assumption" — but why? i mean, there are many other words you could be using instead of "assumption". for example "law of identification", "law of knowing" or "law of embodiment", etc. because all of these words, including "assumption" explain the same thing — the mental acts of manifesting.
the meaning of assuming.
according to neville, to "assume it real" means to accept it — your desires — to be real. it means to have them in imagination, to experience them there, to be who you want to be, to be fully identify with that version of yourself, to occupy the state of mind of that person, to embody them in consciousness, to become them mentally.
identification with imagination.
i already gave it away but all of this takes place within, in your mind. you don’t assume to have it in the outer world or pretend to own it physically, but really only have it in your inner world — imagination. here‘s the thing, whatever you do in imagination and accept to be the truth there has to manifest. it cannot choose not to. it projects it into the world instantly. and you make this happen by not intervening or interacting with the 3D, and by not letting it define yourself in Imagination.
continued controlled consciousness.
you manifest, not by imagining or thinking of something once — or in other words, single thoughts that have not been internalised — thoughts that you have not fully become aware of — do not manifest. those are vain statements. they are empty. you didn't accept them in the first place. what does actually manifest is not only entering a state once but doing it as often as possible by returning to it (if you tend to "slip out of it" or continuously remaining there, making it your dwelling state. once you identify with it, it manifests!
disclaimer · many people just "decide" that they have their desire and it manifests. deciding or rather affirming once is also a form of accepting/assuming something to be true. you become aware of having it (you enter the state) and go on with your day, knowing you have it (staying in the state). that's also a way of being continuously conscious of something.
with love, ella.

I think that nightmare living with his boys after the truce(actually even before that) is literally hearing a clink and him yelling "KILLER, DUST, GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN AND STOP FIGHTING"
(I don't know if I worded that right so I'm sorry if you can't understand-)
Oh absolutely!! When Nightmare hears rummaging around in any room he has to go check, because usually it's just Horror preparing food or one of them doing something, but there's always a chance he's about to break up a fight
What I like to imagine is how long after an agreed truce (and assuming Dream comes to visit now and then) does Dream feel confident enough to break up the fights
(He's very good at it, as it turns out)

Hob is going to come home one day two months into Dream's retirement (and seven weeks into their marriage) and Dream's going to be full Victorian maiden on the chaise lounge, arm covering his eyes.
Hob, who is not a fool: Want to talk about it, or want to be consumed by the agonies for a little while longer while I prepare dinner? You got groceries, right?
Dream: [horrible groaning dirge of assent]
Hob: I'm starting to get a little concerned, dearest
Dream: I went out to. Obtain groceries. And the woman at the till said 'enjoy your food'.
Hob: And you said?
Dream: "My thanks. you as well."
Hob: My poor love. Have a kiss to ease the sting.
Dream: [accepting the forehead kiss as his due] I can't go back to that grocery store in this lifetime.
Hob: Understandable.
Dream: Can we fake our deaths tomorrow?
Hob: Give me two weeks to wrap everything up, then we can.
Dream: <3
