#hob never could
Text
rue is, i think, in love with the idea of love.
they set a wager. the lords of the wing will find true love in this romantic, ephemeral bloom, if they only seek it. they can win it, as though it’s a game.
they long to abolish the courts. their own court has never held any love for them - why would any other court be different? a court stifles, a court smothers, a court suffocates love. the courts must be abolished, so that love can bloom. true love, love that is unfettered by politics, or station, or duty.
they are the architect of the bloom. the hunt, the heart. the dance. the potions. they will pour love into a cup and the guests will drink their fill. fae from across the realms will fall in beautiful, perfect love at rue’s hand.
they have become the arbiter of love. when an engagement between a cruel prince and a wild goblin is set, what else can they do but judge it unfit? it was not love, it was not true.
they share a moment in a forest with a venerated captain. he is tall, as they are. he is clawed, as they are. he is a beast, as they are, and so beautiful for it. they fall fast, and hard, and heavy. and perhaps it is only the nature of queerness, of a life lived behind a mask, yearning for the faintest spark, that causes them to love so fast.
or perhaps they did not truly fall in love with hob at all. for they did not see him.
they fell in love with a reflection of themself.
except, of course, that hob is not a reflection of rue. hob is his own person, and like any real person, he cannot live up to an idea. and while rue is on a wonderful journey of revelation and self acceptance, it is baffling to them that someone else’s love does not always mirror their own.
rue, in an act of bravery and vulnerability and hope, removed their mask. and they long so very much to remove hob’s - but he has never worn a mask. he has always been exactly as he is - a soldier, devoted and dutiful. an outsider, used and abused by his court. rue’s true form was hidden by their court, while hob’s otherness has always been mercilessly exposed.
rue loves hob for the idea of who he could be, if he could simply unmask as they did. but hob needs, just as rue does, to be loved for who he is.
#this really went from 'rue doesn't truly understand love and is fucked up about it'#to 'rue thinks hob's story is one of queerness but it is in fact of neurodivergence'#and while rue could pass#hob never could#this hurt me to write btw.#a court of fey and flowers#delloso de la rue#captain kp hob#i see a LOT of talk about rue's story being a queer one#which it very very deliberately and wonderfully is#but i see the same being said of hob#and i'm not saying it's wrong to see hob's story as a queer one too#but to me hob's entire narrative is so clearly an autistic one#the abuse and manipulation and straight up gaslighting that he has received from his superiors#reads so clearly as authority figures taking advantage of a neurodivergent person#his whole... inability to accept that anyone could love him for who he is#the way he is othered not so much for how he looks#but for his BEHAVIOUR#for things that are blatant autistic traits#that's... that's an autistic narrative for sure.#not to say that hob isn't also queer#and of course there is so so much overlap between queer stories and autistic stories#but i think that#rue is only seeing their experience as a queer person#they aren't understanding that hob's experience is different than theirs#because he is autistic#also for many other reasons but like. look. we're talking autism babey.#and also i'm not saying rue can't also be autistic or neurodivergent in some way#but they don't have the same experience as hob does

dreamling from dreams pov is like I am older than the stars and I will leave my shoes at the door because you do, even though I don’t know why. I’d forgotten what the world looked like before I saw it through your eyes. you give me hope. has it always been this easy? to fall, not as a comet does, but as gently as the sea goes to the shore? I am monstrous, and yet, still you bring me home. I have known love as war, as pain, but never rest. peace.
& hobs pov is like. once I loved you as the sailor loves his north star, so bright, far above him. now I think I love you better for the way you speak to children, how you hold each dreamers hopes so gently in your hands, despite, despite, despite. I would have waited forever and it would’ve been worth it. you tell me you’re a king. you whisper the secrets of the universe in my ear. still, I’m greedy. I want to know how you take your tea, what you eat in the mornings, what you look like when you’re happy down to your bones. you say you know the end of every story before we tell them, every word we’ll say before we speak and yet you come down from your kingdom to hear me tell my stories, again and again.
#dreamling#dream of the endless#sandman#hob gadling#sandman edit#sandman comics#Tom sturridge#& they’re both somehow one day you’ll tire of me & you’re the best thing I’ve seen in centuries#& simultaneously want to be kept and held and by nature Hob would never be satisfied being a kept lover the way some of dreams past loves#thought they could. & Dream knows he can come home to hob & just Be and live in his little domestic bubble & leave. no strings attached#not captured or wanted for his power his attention etc.#anyways. I just love that Hob can withstand the full attention/passion/rage of a being who’s literally older than god & ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#& call him a bitch to his face. that’s so good for him

Xie Lian isn’t a hero.
I started with TGCF first when I was introduced to danmei, and I was floored by what I read. It wasn’t just boys kissing in ancient china, it was actually about human tragedy and the selfishness of the omnipotent.
The theme of TGCF doesn’t revolve around XL alone. It’s much bigger than that. This isn’t a ‘TGCF is better’ post, but rather, TGCF is different. And it’s different because Xie Lian isn’t a typical human hero.
XL is not a heroic character like WWX, and he isn’t a sarcastic/comedic relief hero like SQQ. And it isn’t because of their personalities. XL is just as selfless as WWX and just as unreasonably punished as both other MC’s. However, when bad things happen to WWX, you know it’s because of his personality. Because of his kindness, his confidence, his wit. It’s simply BECAUSE it’s WWX as the protagonist.
Same with SVSSS. That story couldn’t have happened without Shen Yuan in SQQ’s body. Like we never would have gotten that level of sarcasm, pity, and empathy. And the novel tells you that repeatedly. Everything that happens in the previous two novels does so because of who the main character is.
But when things happen in TGCF, XL isn’t even the center of the conflict. It’s almost always someone else’s fault, someone else’s business, or someone else’s issue he just happens to be present for. But somehow, it always comes back to him. It’s always his job to resolve things.
Unlike WWX, the conflict isn’t his fault. WWX actively pushes the narrative with his actions. He drives the conflict and later becomes it. Whether he’s at fault or not is the point of his story, but for XL, he’s really just incredibly unlucky. He’s tragic in the sense that he’s just being fucked over by everyone in his life. For what? For being…wonderful!?
I absolutely love that his one little phrase pissed off the evil emperor of heaven. Like his mere existence is a problem.
It’s an incredible piece of writing that the things that get him into trouble are his altruism. Altruism that is fitting for someone who thinks himself a GOD. But also, altruism that many of us mortals share.
Why CANT he save his people if he’s a god? Why CANT he answer everyone’s prayers? Why is he not good enough or strong enough to resolve this conflict if he’s literally a GOD.
XL is constantly facing issues and asking questions that humanity itself has asked.
Why isn’t god answering me, why isn’t god helping me, why do we have a god at all? TGCF has a commentary that doesn’t limit itself to just XL and the type of person he is in the way that MDZS relies on WWX and SVSSS relies on SQQ.
Those novels are how most novels typically function. You choose a specific type of human and see the world through their eyes.
But XL isn’t human. Not in the way he acts nor in the way he tells this story. He tells you everything he witnesses and it barely affects him anymore. He just has some wise thoughts about what everything means.
But TGCF isn’t asking: what would happen if a kind prince ascended to godhood?
Instead—
TGCF begs the question:
What if you told the story of humanity, not through the eyes of a human, but through the eyes of god.
Xie Lian is god.
XL is 800yrs old, has lived through countless tragedies, celebrations, friendships, betrayals, and he ascends. Again.
He’s been stuck with the burden of immortality and now he’s re entering the place that gave him that burden. He walks into heaven to see new gods, but the same old problems. And the whole vibe he has in this is less benevolent and wonderful and more like a fed up mom who’s tired of seeing the girls fighting.
He sits back and watches these issues devolve and shuffles his way into the conflict by accident. Because he’s the only one competent enough to do anything about it.
XL doesnt react like a human being, at the start of the current timeline, he’s a god.
He’s an 800yr old god. He’s seen everything, learned everything.
We see this prince who thinks himself a god then become one. And instead of learning what it means to be a god so he can help the common man— he learns what it means to be a common man so he can become a real god.
XL goes through HELL. He loses countless times, is left, betrayed, ruined, trampled, destroyed. He is constantly being thwarted by not just people but the very gods he worshipped and the god he himself became. But again— XL isn’t even that big of a personality for us to cling to that alone and see how these things happened to him??
He isn’t boasting about how great he is out of pride and ego, he isn’t rampaging or going mad with power, he isn’t a huge character. But his lack of those qualities is what triggers Jun Wu to ruin him. He wants to see him go crazy, wants to see him struggle. Wants to see his ego and pride. And he’s not the only one!!!
Mu Qing is also incredibly jealous, so are the other gods!!! And Qi Rong, his own family!!! His parents even get upset with him for not doing enough. Everyone saw this kid blessed with so much and started wishing for him to break. And they succeed. He goes insane, he starts killing, he starts wanting to die, he starts losing faith.
But MAN it is just so gorgeous to me that this character is almost…forced to be a main character? Forced to suffer, forced to make mistakes, forced to be a problem. He is so powerful and smart and incredible and then he is made to believe he is nothing. Here is this god who has been forced to feel HUMAN.
And once he finally feels that way, once he finally falls to the ground and loses everything, someone comes by and offers his hat.
And that’s all it takes for a man to truly become a god.
TGCF asks what if you told a story through the eyes of god? It shows you this guy sighing through drama and fixing peoples problems.
And then it goes back and tells you: What makes a man, god?
And we read all of XL’s history. His victories and failures. And it perfectly describes how he’s ascended again. Not out of heroics this time. But out of his pure humanity.
God is a kind, gentle, but confident man who wanders around helping who he can and opening his doors to those who wish to come in. He resolves the conflicts he’s there for, and takes note of those he wasn’t there for. He trudges along holding no grudges and sighing when people make mistakes. He loves selflessly and holds no judgment. He feels strange letting people take care of him but he will take care of you. When he can, and when he has the chance, he will take care of you.
XL is almost born with every book definition of what a god is: kind, selfless, strong, and true. But his story forces him to learn how to be human instead. To fail, die, love, kill and suffer. And when that god was beaten and broken, he was saved by one thing. A human.
That’s how you become a god. And that’s what it means to be one. To be human. To be a good person.
XL couldn’t have been a WWX. He couldn’t have been a staple protagonist with a heart of gold, wit and passion. He couldn’t have had a story with everyone’s conflict directly tied to him and because of him. That isn’t what TGCF is for.
It isn’t about XL himself. It’s about god. It explores the selfishness that comes with immortality, and the selflessness that comes with mortality.
There are other aspects that make it a nice protag story. He falls in love, he’s kinda air headed and sassy. He did have the character and maturity to choose to become a wonderful godlike person but that’s a post for another day. But honestly, if this were a regular novel, it probably would’ve been about Hua Cheng. He lives for love and passion and devotion. He kills and saves and sacrifices, he denies godhood and wins the girl in the end. Now THATS a hero.
But XL isn’t a hero. He’s a god.
MXTX wrote a story that wasn’t about a sheepish prince who lost it all, but instead wrote a story about gods and humans. She wrote what reads like a Greek epic to me. With such hard comments on morality and cruelty. She really hit me with everything I love about literature. And yes I do love MDZS and SVSS but TGCF is different.
Like guoshi said: the gods are human, after all. But XL above them all, is most definitely a god.
#im honestly pretty sure if Jun Wu hadn’t ruined XL’s life he woudlve become like LQQ and been a little stupid LMAO#Jun Wu could never#TGCF#heaven official's blessing#heaven officials blessing#hob#hualian#xie lian

I just want a dreamling fic of Hob getting Dream to do terribly human and mundane things. Sometimes Hob's just inviting Dream to do something he was already going to do. Sometimes Hob realizes Dream hasn't done something boring human thing and wants Dream to do it so bad. Sometimes Hob doesn't know whether Dream has done a boring human thing before but he just wants to see Dream doing it. It'd be so cute if whenever Hob doesn't have access to something, upon becoming better and better at navigating the dreaming, he just dreams up the situation there.
—OKAY WAIT THIS LITERALLY JUST FLEW INTO MY HEAD!!! Okay, you know how wives sometimes go with their husband's to golf courses and they literally just sit in the cart. CAN YOU IMAGINE— Dream's with Hob at Hob's place of work and Hob's coworkers/work friends invite Hob to play golf with them and Hob agrees for whatever reason and then Hob's work friends invite Dream along too and Hob didn't even think about it but now he NEEDS Dream to go and Dream reluctantly agrees. In true wifey fashion Dream shows up in full golf attire like he's going to play but just sits in the cart the entire time. I think it could be hilarious.
#I just want scenes of Dream being ///Hob's/// boyfriend/husband/lover#sometimes without him actually being Hob's yet#(for anyone wondering if the wifes do anything else while sitting in the cart. they watch their husbands play and slide into the driver's#seat when their husbands tell them to bring the cart over 👀)#I used to work on a golf course is why I know this. they honest to god looked like they were going to play but never leave the car. I would#need to figure out if they were playing bc I needed to know if they were going to hit or if I could continue working or not#In true Dream fashion he would know everything going on and how to do it but he wouldn't want to upstage Hob and I'm sure he wouldn't wanna#act as if he were bad at it either#I gotta write this fic man jeez. it twirls in my brain constantly.#dreamling#we've gone from conceivably cute and soft fic to dipping our toe into the crack fic waters but no fear all fics I write are crack#at least a little bit

Listen, what if Dream's and Hob's meeting happens for the first time during Death's and Dream's walk in 2k22. Dream is struggling to see any beauty in humanity after his capture and Death skillfully leads him to this one coffee shop and— coffee shop au, slowburn, goth dream, flirty and interested Hob, fluff and comfort— imagine that. 😌🤭
#frequent meetings and talks of life. accidental (or planned- really) hand brushes#Hob knowing something is up with this beautiful stranger for refuses to give him a name and wants to find out#Also dream is really pretty and Hob has a thing for goths....#Dream is weary and tired and somehow just keeps on coming there because Hob's company is the most undemanding thing in his life#He's so weary.... But the guy always makes him a cup of coffee he never drinks for free.#It feels nice to hold the warm cup though.#One day he tries the coffee.#It's good.#Afterwards it's the ascension of Dream of the Endless into being a coffee addict#Or is it the true reason he comes so often.#Dreamling#hob gadling#Dream of the Endless#God my heart yes are half closed with sleep I wish I could do it justice#I just want modern coffee shop au that is not human au...#buns.hc#buns.all

I love the theory that Hob is a professor or teacher. So what if he convinces Dream to moonlight as a professor sometimes? He teaches ��Sleep”, and his voice of course lulls everyone to sleep. Morpheus especially wants them to sleep because he’s looking at all these sleep deprived students and thinking, “I haven’t seen them in the Dreaming in awhile. That’s not healthy.”
And all his rate your professors reviews consist of things like: “I’ve never slept so well. Had the best dreams after taking this class.” ; “Take his class just for his voice. You won’t regret it.” ; “His name sounds like a stage name, but he’s a great professor. Really learned a lot about sleeping.”; “He’s so hot. Where has he been all my life?” And Hob is laughing and reading them out loud to Dream and he just goes, “I have been in their dreams. I do not understand. My temperature runs cooler than normal.” Hob’s laughing too hard to answer.
The adventures of Professor Morpheus Oneiros.

"Oookay" said Hob, trying to continue the conversation, avoiding anything that could become an awkward silence. "So, what's your favourite animal?"
"My favourite animal? What poor excuse of a question to be asked a being like me is that?"
"Well, I asked the other day if I could know you better so we have less misunderstandings..."
"And you decide to ask me for my favourite animal."
"Your name or being are off limits, you basically hate me when I try to feed you, your favourite color obviously is black, sooo the next stupid basic question is your favourite animal."
Dream started smiling a little after hearing what considered obvious his human friend. "I don't really have one. They changed a lot over the millennia."
"Wha-? For fuck's sake, pardon my French, how old are you??!"
#morpheus obvious favourite animal is cats#morpheus is a cat#and a cat person#thats why he is fascinated by birds#everywhere you can find a morpheus feeding birds#my second theory is that he lives birds too because he lives her sisters wings and their sound#morpheus will never say his name to his (boy)friend#when i say never is never ever#hob could possibly ask if his favourite animal are ravens because he already knows matthew#hob cannot understand matthew when he talks but theyre friends and hob always has a beer for the bird when he comes#the sandman#dream of the endless#hob gadling#dreamling#centennial boyfriends

tgcf is such a hard series to give tws for because it's not only super long but also there's so much going on at once that stuff that would be at the top of the tw list for any other series gets relegated to "fairly normal" in tgcf. Like TW for extreme body horror and like the half the cast going into omegaverse heat at one point don't worry about it and also decapitation
#tgcf spoilers#this is saying something too bc im an sv main and shit HAPPENS in sv#but honestly i could never tackle making a full review / warning list for tgcf theres just. SO much#tgcf#tian guan ci fu#hob#heavenly official's blessing#heaven officials blessing

Re-watching the one time Ricky and Christian teamed and lamenting about What Could Have Been.
#*wails* WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALLLLLLLLLL#And remember like a month ago now when it seemed like they were gonna team up again?#Because Ricky came out during the opening promo to side with Christian (the time where Edge was an asshole to him)#And then later in the night he helped Christian retain#Which made it seem like there was gonna be a more longer term alliance there#Between one half of tag champs/one of the biggest stars on Collision and essentially the top heel champ in the company#Which would have made for a potential interesting storyline#But then nothing happened? They never followed up on it and the two of them haven't interacted at all since then?#So Christian got sectioned off in his own storyline with Edge#While Ricky (and Bill) are relegated to being background players in the tag division despite being the champs#Because they have fuck all to do with the faction warfare story going on between FTR/BCC/HoB/LFI#And are probably going to lose their belts at Full Gear making their whole title reign a huge waste of time#Ricky (and Bill) REALLY could have benefitted from a team-up/storyline with Christian#But nope! TK stopped giving a shit about that potentially interesting story the second Bryan Danielson got injured#Because Tony is apparently incapable of caring about a storyline that doesn't revolve around Bryan Danielson or Adam Cole#But hey at least we've got Ric Flair now! 😀#Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh#I know I'm being a huge bitch here like WAAAAH why didn't the person I like get a fun storyline??#But...I'm just struggling to find much to like in AEW right now and it's such a drag#I was hyped for Ricky/Christian but I guess I was one of the only ones in that regard#Just my luck LOL The life of a rarepair shipper is pain and suffering

the abarat tag exists! it has posts on it! (woo!)
anyway shuffles in here with the rarepair (I assume) of christopher carrion/finnegan hob
no they haven't actually interacted, but listen:
canonically hopeless romantics in ways that have hurt them so so much, and made them afraid of loving again, but also they can't help themselves...
were both duped and manipulated by the same woman in the exact same way (boa really played them like cheap kazoos huh)
the themes of night-and-day as something that need to be reconciled carried within both of them
specifically the whole fairytale element of "marriage to heal the kingdom" type story, first subverted with boa dying and then again by her resurrecting and being evil....... then possibly deconstructed by being very gay? (well, that and maybe the fact that it isn't a marriage that was really needed to heal the abarat, so much as candy's different perspective, so they can just do it without all that pressure on them)
finnegan is a fixer and carrion is a fucking mess
also finnegan needing to fix things/be Heroic is something to unpack as well, considering these books are continuously flipping character Types on their heads and I think carrion might like being supportive as a way of building some form of selfhood/finnegan learning to be cared for...
smthinsmthin on that above note carrion could conceivably save finnegan's life right now, considering finnegan is basically boa's hostage and carrion is trying to learn how to do right/interesting reversed damsel in distress tropes?
pretty boys -- I understand that mr clive barker's illustrations and descriptions of carrion have not been giving us pretty boy, but he's got that pathetic goth boy swag to finnegan's jock-hero type pretty
both flamboyant and performative
they hate each other on principle, simply because their stories have had boa in the middle up until a certain point, but she's been deliberately stoking up that enmity/manipulating that story, so now the scales have fallen from their eyes, what better way to counter that than by realising that they... quite like each other when they actually meet, perhaps even-
barker has yet to give us as much queerness in this text as in his other ones, and it's been enough years that I think he could get away with it more in a YA than back in 2003
also as an extra, both of them retiring out of the idea of kingdom/prince type shit, because neither of them have seen that sort of setup have good results (although of course, abarat wasn't really feudal by the time candy came along, so much as just... the idea of an aristocracy as something still to be respected? anyway, tear that down, especially now that most of the aristocracy is just straight up dead), and just retiring to one of the islands
wonders which time would suit them.... feel like a dawn-or-dusk would be their preference...
#they work i tellya!!!#abarat#christopher carrion#finnegan hob#clive barker#i literally never post about my books on here because i feel so#protective of my feelings of them#but this time i could not help it#also#carrion and hob just sounds good
