Another Sandman post, this time about the Sound of Her Wings episode…
First of all, Kirby’s Death is just A+ casting, she’s incredible in the role, I hope I get to see more of her if we get a second season.
But honestly I’m just thinking a lot about how funny the dynamic between Death and Dream. How these are two of the most incredibly powerful beings in existence, and yet together they have the same squabbling affectionate dynamic of an exasperated older sister and her grumpy little brother.
Both actors in their portrayals do a really good job capturing their divine power, the wisdom and presence, while also letting them be really silly, petty, and almost childish together. Kirby manages to nail not only being the downright ethereal personification of Death and all the Self-possessed regality of it all, while also being the loving but exasperated older sister trying to lecture her moody younger brother.
And Tom’s Dream, who we have seen carrying himself with the presence of one of the most powerful beings in existence, gets to be a slightly annoying baby brother, whiny and angsty and slightly childish at times.
And of course, that’s exactly what it’s like. Sibling relationships really are like that, you can grow older, more mature, change, evolve, but no one can level you quite like a sibling. No one else can make fully grown humans fight like children, make the Endless squabble and whine and call each other idiots, but also no one can know you quite as well, or give you such profound wisdom.
I love how in the scene where Death offers to let him tag along on her work, he acts all casual about it about going with (he’ll come with, he supposes) but you can tell he really wants to go, and even though she pretends the offer is light you can tell she’s really hoping he’ll come along.
And just…. Isn’t that the perfect encapsulation of messy sibling relationships, to have what ends up being incredibly profound moments and conversations together a while you’re just… running errands together. (As an aside, I also love how she tries to feed him (she just wants him to eat his fruits and veggies.)) As an older sister myself I have also been known to try to impart wisdom on my younger sibling while running small little errands with them, buying them little coffees and treats when we’re out to make sure they’re fed while I do. (Weird to relate so strongly to the literal personification of Death, and yet here we are.)

Ok question, Dream and Hob always meet in the year 89 every century but it‘s not 2089 so did Hob decide to wait every day in the cafe hoping Dream will show up eventually?
I also assume he was the one to write the message on the fence because why would anyone else write that right?

Almost finished re-reading the original 12 volumes of The Sandman and one of those cursed 3am thoughts occurred to me:
While 7 is a lucky number in most cultures, 8 is the number most closely associated with infinity (and not just because it’s literally an infinity symbol turned on its side). How come there isn’t an eighth Endless called ‘Denial’? It’s such an essential part of the human condition, not only is it the first stage of grief, but we all experience it on pretty much a day-to-day basis. And I thought, actually, you know who perfectly embodies denial, given that they denied the basic reality of living and dying, and got given eternal life as a result?

so i was looking back over the sound of her wings comic bc i wanted to send a panel to a friend
and like. this scene is taken almost entirely word for word, there’s just a bit cut out bc it’s stuff we already knew and there’s a time limit on the episode, which is dream explaining his quest to death in a bit more depth
and im just. stuck on this panel
Tumblr media
there’s a lot of ways in which dream struggles with people, that’s the point of this storyline
but he also cares so much
because even here, when he’s just venting his problems to his big sister, his first thought with john dee isn’t anything john did to him. it’s how his ruby got people hurt, john included
when dream in 1x05 tries to convince john to give the ruby up because it’s hurting him, that’s not any kind of ploy to save himself, he’s not even thinking of himself at all in that scene. it’s just straight up dream feeling deeply guilty that his power hurt someone so bad that they became this, and all the people that could still get hurt because of him, if john continues

Do you know what this is? Consider yourself lucky if you don't.
This is that particular situation where your castle is about to crumble, when your heart sinks and your stomach is suddenly replaced by a hole.
You have been found out. How did this happen, you think, as your heartbeat quickens and breathing gets harder. You've been careful, very careful not to expose yourself, your feelings or any sign of weakness.
Or have you? Maybe something slipped, maybe... you even wanted that? You wanted to see what would happen if you put your guard down, if someone could be clever enough to climb over the walls you built.
But then the moment comes and is downright dreadful, the scariest feeling you've ever felt. You definetly did not want this. There are two options now, ‘cause you’re in a corner and you have to pick one fast or else you’ll look even more guilty:
one, you are tired of hiding, you confess and see what happens, for all you know things might actually not go so bad.
two, you just get up and lie, lie and hurt them, and leave, because there is no way things are going to take a positive turn, so it's better to destroy every suspicion and avoid the damages.
Good. Get up now, and save yourself. and they managed to convey all of that.

[ID: 4 screenshots from The Sandman 1x06: The Sound of Her Wings. They show Hob waiting for Dream at the White Horse Tavern in 1989 while the song 'Shattered Dreams' by Johnny Hates Jazz plays in the background. The lyrics being sung say, "And now you've given me, given me, nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams, feel like I could run away, run away, from this empty heart..." End ID]
no because why did they do this.
