One of my personal hopes for whenever Mighty Nein Animated comes out is that, similar to how they cranked up the dial on Vox Machina being kind of underestimated loser mercenaries at the beginning to make their rise to legendary status more satisfying, I hope they really place notable emphasis on just how fucking shady the Nein are. Like, Vox Machina are crass dumbasses who aren’t above a little pickpocketing or B&E on occasion, but the Nein are on a whole other level. They will have done absolutely nothing wrong and they still act like they’re hiding a body under their floorboards. One of their first adventures together was framing a political figure for sedition and attempted murder. They stole a beacon just because they felt like it. Beau casually committed mail fraud in like episode 4. They have worked for the mob and have committed piracy. These guys are straight up criminals and I would like that to be made very clear.

"No, Loki show creators know his character and they showed us real him! They know better!"

Sweetheart, Kate Herron said that Loki was cast out of Asgard, Michael Waldron said that Odin killed Laufey, neither of them knew that Loki already was able to enchant people (and he did it in almost every movie he was in), they said Loki killed Frigga, that Loki betrayed "everyone he loved", that he betrayed Odin (neither of that ever happened), that Loki was just a spoiled prince, and "grew up in a healthy environment", and that he was power hungry, and, according to the text we can see on one of the pieces of paper in the first episode and to the things Mobius said, they truly believe that Loki was Thanos's ally.

Are you really sure you wanna stand by this opinion?

Something about the scene in The Sound of Her Wings where Dream and Death are arriving at the old man's house, and they hear the violin and Dream goes, "I know this piece; I haven't heard it in 200 years" with such wonder makes me SO emotional because it's like. Later on we also see him talking to Shakespeare, intrigued by hearing him claim he wants to make people have dreams, and we know Dream is creative, has to be to create endless dreams and nightmares, and it's just - to create and to indulge in art is such a human thing to do, isn't it? That doesn't mean only humans do it, of course, but it's perhaps what links him most to humanity and I love the use of it here so so much because after Burgess and everything, his view of humanity is obviously and understandably.... soured. But the episode goes about reminding him about what being human also means in such a beautiful way, and one so important part of that is art in all its forms and it is in Schubert's unfinished piece and it is in Shakespeare's wish to write great plays to inspire men, it's in the urge to create to leave something behind but also for the simple sake and joy of it, and then it is also in Hob's utter zest for life, his want to see and experience it all and to reinvent himself over and over and god it makes me so emotional just thinking about.

anyway not to make this even longer but you can't tell me Dream doesn't keep up with the music and art and literature of humanity at least somewhat and it makes sense, doesn't it, because how much of art is dreaming? And don't even get me started on how all of this relates back to his ex wife being a muse like!!! God.

Tom Sturridge on becoming Morpheus

What is a dream if not the most lucid articulation of our true selves… He knows how everyone feels … and is in fact the most extraordinarily empathetic being but is managing this unstable thing which is the collective unconscious of the universe, this incredibly dangerous thing, just all of our feelings, and to manage that he has to push it all down into his belly and hide it because the consequences are disastrous…And I wanted to play someone who had that struggle. 

(BFI) 

There’s a line in the book where John Dee is driving with Rosemary and he says to her: “Dreams are real but they’re made of viewpoints, images, memories, puns and lost hopes” and I think my assembly of the pieces of the character is not dissimilar to that

Dream: *spends most of the 20th century and nearly a quarter of the 21st century locked up in a giant glass bottle*

Dream: Well. Here I am.

Hob Gadling in 1989: I've been stood up. 😭😭😭

Dream, in a transition from drinking glass to glass prison: Yep. Still here. In a bottle. Confined beneath the earth. Haven't gotten out yet.

The Three In One/Fates/Hecatae in 2018: 'fraid we can't help you, Calliope. And neither can your former husband, because guess what? You two have something in common other than your dead son! 😀

Dream, in a flash...side: Astonishingly, still here. Haven't gotten out yet.

Neil Gaiman/Netflix: We've got so much footage of practically naked, utterly heart-wrenching Tom Sturridge, and by damn we're going to use it.
