“Ao3 needs an algorithm” no it doesn’t, part of the ao3 experience is scrolling through pages of cursed content looking for the one fic you want to read until you get distracted by a summary so cursed that it completely derails your entire search

he's a 10 but he contains the entire collective unconsciousness of the sentient universe which leaves him emotionally unavailable

New HC: Everytime Morpheus is in a conversation he desperately wants to end, he says "This dream is over" and just books it, even if he is in the waking world.

If I had a nickel for every time there was a ship where two immortal characters (one grumpy and pessimistic and the other optimistic and in love with humanity) made a deal with each other, allowing them to meet throughout history, falling more and more in love with each other as time and normal human life passes them by, prompting a montage of their meetings (in the middle of the series) culminating in a borderline love confession, I’d have two nickels

Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that Neil Gaiman did it twice

omg not the rain break up scene!!

me, a queer, watching the sandman

I feel that Dream's habit of sitting on one of the lowest steps may be his attempt to be closer to his subjects. To be less intimidating.

Even after the throne room is rebuild. He is still doing it. Maybe he just wants his subjects to believe in him again. And he thinks it is a way of showing that he is here among them now.

the dream/hob subplot kinda gave me the "five times they did and one time they didnt" fic vibes

Hob/Dream is so romantic because Hob keeps on going because of his endless curiosity of what may lie in front of him. His dreams and hopes make him go on and even at his lowest he stays resilient and chooses life over death. And he doesn't even know that his oldest friend is the human manifestation of those very things he loves the most. Dream on the other hand seeks connection and friendship but is too afraid to let anyone in into his personal space because of his (excuse) 'great responsibility' and let's be honest past experiences. Yet he begins to change after his captivity and after his sister makes clear that they need the humans just like they need the endless.Dream needs Hob to have dreams and hopes in order to function just as Hob needs him to live on and I think that's beautiful.

hob: i think youre lonely-

dream (tearing up, hyperventilating, collapsing to his knees, throwing up): you dARE..,..,,.,.//.,.,..,.’;,./.,

with all due respect corinthian, but the choice is obvious

The second Matthew gains shoulder perching privileges he becomes the most obnoxious flying fucker ever seen, boasting around that he has a really close relationship with Lord Morpheus and he could put in a good word for you if you'd want to. That until Merv tells him that Jessamy used to cuddle up and take naps inside Dream shirt and all hell breaks loose.

Had they so little faith in me?

representation of me (im)patiently waiting for morpheus fanfictions to emerge after finishing the whole season in one day:

You are gay, Morpheus.

he's a sad wet cat caught in the rain your honor

Lucienne walking into the throne room: ...

Morpheus creating unspeakable and inexplicably homosexual horrors beyond comprehension:

sorry i missed our sixth centennial meet-up because i was trapped in a glass ball in some old guy’s house and you thought it was because i still held a grudge against you because last time we met up you said we were friends and i got insecure about it, do you still think im hot?
