The Sandman | S01E01: Sleep of the Just

Prompt 165

Danny is rather bemused but honestly with how his life is, this might as well happen. Apparently he has seven more siblings now, and a whole second dysfunctional family. And apparently he, Ellie and Jordan are the babies of the family. So. 

Could Clockwork have mentioned that one of his variants had children before? Maybe, but this gets him out of becoming ghost king at the age of fourteen, which is a baby to the Realms anyway. 

Well, hopefully their new siblings will be fine with them… 

"morpheus is the new tumblrsexyman" joke's on you, morpheus, dream of the endless, the sandman himself, is the tumblersexyman BLUEPRINT.

Y'all remember that time Hob met Dracula...

Y'know... A lot of ZaDr fics have them either gradually drifting into a less contentious status quo or establishing a deeply bizarre multilayered dynamic that is nonetheless very consistent and beholden to its own rules—which works, to be clear, because slavish adherence to the rhythm of their endless 'game' is already their canon baseline.

WITH THAT BEING SAID. I think it would be very funny to depict a ZaDr dynamic in which they're like, on-again off-again nemeses. As they get older theyre gradually forced to acknowledge the true depth of their mutual attachment, but instead of actually improving themselves in any lasting way or compromising the conflicting elements into an ill-definable state of contentious codependence, they just start oscillating wildly between periods of obscenely clingy allyship and devotedly murderous enmity. There's never an in between. They'll dedicate all their energy to trying to horrifically torture each other to death, until one of them gets uncomfortably close to actually dying or an external crisis pushes them together or they just get bored—at which point, they become obnoxiously glued at the hip until one of them relapses into anxiety about their ambitions or an argument escalates past the the point of no return or they just get bored. And every time they both Really Mean It, They're Not Gonna Do This Anymore, before naturally going ahead and doing it again

[Image Descriptions:

Imagine 1: A digital bust portrait of Morpheus, Dream of the Endless, holding Jessamy in his hands against his chest.

Dream is a very pale white man (/anthropomorphic personification) with very messy, short-ish pitch black hair and eyebrows. Tiny stars and galaxies seem to glow in his hair. Jessamy is a Pied Crow, a medium-large iridescent black corvid with a white feathered breast and collar. She is resting peacefully within Dream’s right hand, his left stroking through her plumage. Her head is tilted upward, her beak placed underneath Dream’s jaw. Dream’s eyes are closed, and his lips slightly parted. He does not seem to be wearing clothes. The painting cuts off below his elbows.

The painting is heavily stylized with multicolored brushstrokes on highlight and shadow points. Deep, vibrant purple, turquoise and blue in shadows, soft, pastel yellow, cyan and green in highlights.

Image 2 is exactly the same, except now deep red liquid runs down Dream’s fingers to his wrists. He is still holding Jessamy. Her plumage is clean and untouched from the blood.

hey so is anyone planning to talk about how dream looked like a literal vampire in the 14-18th centuries or am i just going insane. hob for sure had to have just assumed he was a vampire at least for a bit i mean look at him

Oh I'm so evil. I just convinced my sister into watching The Sandman with absolutely no warnings.... 😈

See you on the dark side my dear 😘

Malkhest adressed me those brave words: "I was expecting you to be some kind of blood obsessed brute. I was wrong to misjudge you."

Well, Sir...

If you asked the rest of the Endless about Destruction, odds are that you wouldn’t get many enthusiastic or comprehensive responses about what happened to him or where he is. The former is because it’s a bit of a sore spot, the latter is because they legitimately don’t know. Almost three hundred years ago, he abandoned his duties as arbiter of destruction entirely, forgoing responsibility for his domain, and nobody’s seen him since. 

He’s definitely not overseeing destruction anymore, that’s for sure. What he’s up to these days is anybody’s guess.
