Bruh the fact that you can feel Morpheus’ anger through the screen. You can see him tremble with rage as his voice becomes cold hard steel. We already knew Neil was right about what he said about Tom’s gravitas, but that scene was on a whole other level. Even I was terrified, Jesus Christ.
And you contrast that with how gentle he is with Calliope. How upset and terrified he is for her. How he actually begs her to accept his help, because he cannot bear to see her in this situation a second longer. How scared he is she’ll refuse out of pride as he did, because he’s been there and he knows the regret that comes after, and because he sees her imprisonment as so much worse than his. Because he knows Calliope, and it horrifies him that something like this has happened to her.
And at the end, you can really tell how part of him still loves her, and regrets so much about what has happened between them. Because like all his lovers, he’s given her a piece of his heart, and that will never change as the millennia go by. And for chrissake, their relationship lasted long enough for him to marry her, to father a son with her. To raise him and watch him grow up and be there with her and the rest of the Endless on Orpheus’ wedding day. And for Morpheus, even after thousands of years of bitterness and sorrow and regret, to come to her aid and demand she be freed, and to tremble even as she talks of forgiveness and presses her forehead to his cheek.

THAT SURPRISE SANDMAN EPISODE AAAAAA
Freaking out over the bonus ep cuz it was ALL about oppression––of animals, of women. How the stories we tell about ourselves shape reality & how our world operates. How our present fundamental, cultural myths create inequalities and justify violence.
And how the dominant forces in our culture have the power to change those stories and reshape our world into something more fair, diverse, & peaceful.
Sandman being intentionally meta about itself just fills my myth-loving soul to bits.

fells i’m having a brain not braning moment you might be able to help with
i could’ve sworn i had started watching the sandman awhile ago but stopped. i just now picked it up and i’m not connecting dots
a. i could’ve sworn this was on amazon, not netflix
b. …was there a show about cats ? like a cat meeting. idk how else to describe it
i’m probably crossing my wires but i’m so confused thanks in advance bestie <3
There was a cat meeting but that was the very last episode (or like the bonus episode so separate from the rest of the season) so if you saw that, you probably either finished watching or only watched the bonus ep. But it was always on netflix. 😘

Weekly TV wrap up:
Palm Royale - Apple TV +, 1 Season & 10 episodes, averages about 40-50 mins per episode
Takeaway: charming, super camp, amazing cinematography, i want everybody’s wardrobe, Allison Janney can do no wrong, whodunnit, would watch a season 2, give it a try
Ready, Set, Love - Netflix, 1 season 6 episodes, avg about 1+ hr per episode
Takeaway - also camp, underdog in the way that i was pleasantly surprised, beautiful cinematography, intentional production design down to the costumes, funny, kinda corny but cute, dystopian (?), hunger games and squid games but nobody dies, give it a watch
Conan O’Brien Must Go - Max, 1 season 4 episodes, avg about 44 minutes per episode
Takeaway- super quick watch, hilarious, super chaotic, they could never make me hate you Conan, a great thing to have on in the background, give it a watch (BONUS WATCH: watch his hot ones interview)
CURRENTLY WATCHING
Star Trek: Voyager - Paramount+, 7 seasons, currently on season 3
Thoughts: should have watched this before ds9 bc my brain is ds9 poisoned, really hasn’t gotten my interest until the end of season 2 and maybe some of 3, having a real hard time connecting to anyone, Tuvok slays and that’s about it, Janeway is cool but see previous voyager post to get my temperature on her as a whole,
Slay episode so far of Season 3: Future’s End (Tuvok🤤)
Not slay episode: The Q and the Grey
Dead Boy Detectives - 1 season 8 episodes, avg 50+ minutes per episode, currently on episode 4
Thoughts: Loved sandman, having a tougher time with this one idk why, don’t hate it, don’t know if i love it yet, hopefully will change my mind
Delicious in Dungeon (At risk of me dropping) - Netflix, 1 season 24 episodes, average 20 minutes per episode, currently on episode 3
Thoughts: did it for Laios 🤭, i watched my hero all the way up until season 5 and then got content burnout bc they don’t know when to end it and i have a feeling this is about to be the same way, also do not care about the food show me the man. Someone convince me to stay and that it gets better
Hilda Hurricane (furacão) - 1 season 35 episodes, avg 55-45 minutes per episode, currently on ep 24
Thoughts: slowburn, slooooowwwwburrrnnnn, if it ain’t Hilda and Malthus i start skipping, been watching this for 3 months kinda over it, was easily influenced and i regret it
