Behold, the stupidest thing I’ve ever drawn
Amazing
ARSHER ALI & TOM STURRIDGE Remainder (2015) dir. Omer Fast
90 very long days, but the wait is over, sandman season 2 is official
“Does the Sandman dream himself? And if he does, does he have sweet dreams, like with Hob Gadling?”
“How sweet are we talking? 👀”
[And then I couldn’t understand the follow-up question because everyone was still laughing, but it was something about “[…] family like most of us do?”]
“Honestly, I don’t think he does dream. Because I don’t think he sleeps. Uhm, I think that his responsibility is to the collective unconsciousness of the universe and that never stops. And every waking moment, he is fighting to preserve the safety of our dreams. So unfortunately, he does not have time for his own.” — Tom Sturridge
You can be so damn sure that I will write something about this because Morpheus deserves a bit of rest of his world-preserving duties 🥺❤️
You even get my video because I’m generous 👀❤️
Upon a dream
Dream x reader, being idiots, as always
Morpheus was truly the best boyfriend in the world. Romantic, poetic, attentive, tender, passionate.
If he had been real, he would have been truly wonderful.
But unfortunately such a perfect man couldn’t exist, and so it was normal that Y/N only met him in her dreams.
During one of her nocturnal wanderings, she had found herself in a huge library, his library, and even if he had been surprised to find her there, he had not chased her away, allowing her to explore, showing her the castle, chatting at length with her.
It had been a beautiful dream, which she thought she would quickly forget. But she had dreamed of him again the following night, then every other night.
She was trying to convince herself that it was no big deal.
Her life wasn’t so terrible, she had her family, her friends, her job, her hobbies. There were plenty of people who remained celibate all their lives and were perfectly happy being alone in front of the television, eating ice cream and imagining an ideal lover who would visit them in their sleep.
Nothing special.
“My love, you seem troubled tonight. Far from me. Are you alright ?”
"Yes, Morpheus. Excuse me, I’m just tired.“ Y/N apologized with a smile, snuggling into his arms to forget her worries, and the fact that he wouldn’t be there when she woke up.
"Good. That’s what I’m here for. You can rest in peace, I’m watching over you. What do you want to do, my love ? Lucienne would be happy to show you new books, Cain and Abel wish to tell new stories, Matthew asks for gossip from the waking world. We can also walk in the gardens, travel to the other side of the galaxy, or stay in bed. Tell me, my love, I am at your command.”
"You’re adorable. Anything is fine with me, as long as we do it together.“
"My sweet.” he whispered, kissing her.
As always, it was difficult for Y/N when she opened her eyes and found herself in her bedroom, alone, in her cold bed, just like when she went to sleep.
It was absurd, she repeated it to herself every time she was about to fall asleep, but a simple dream managed to make her feel things she had never felt in her entire existence. The human brain could really be fascinating. And dangerous.
Depressing.
Because even if she was terribly happy when she was with Morpheus, she was just as sad when she left him and returned to reality.
Several times, she had thought of talking to a doctor about it. To find a solution. But Y/N didn’t really see what it was going to solve.
They were only going to tell her that she felt lonely, which she already knew, and that her dreams were trying to fill that void.
The only thing she could do was seek the company of real people when she was awake.
It was not easy.
If Y/N had been able to get a real boyfriend, she would have done it a long time ago.
And it was worse now, because no one could ever be as good as Morpheus. She was really in love with him.
In love with a dream, it was really depressing.
There was also this ridiculous idea in the back of her head, which kept telling her that it wouldn’t be very proper to cheat on him. Even if he didn’t exist.
He didn’t exist. Morpheus didn’t exist, he wasn’t waiting for her in her dreams every night, he would never magically appear in front of her, and if he loved her, then he would understand that she was looking for someone to spend her life with.
After asking her friends for advice, one of them offered to introduce her to a charming man, with whom she could get along well. It was less risky than meeting a stranger, because they could tell he was a good person.
And if she didn’t like him, it would be fine, she would find other suitors.
Désiré was indeed a charming man. Funny, kind, seductive. But during the whole evening they spent together, Y/N only thought of Morpheus.
When their hands touched at the end of the meal, she quickly pulled it away apologetically. He looked a little offended, but he didn’t say anything, forcing a smile.
“It seems to me that I am not up to it.” he sighed when it was time to part ways. “I don’t like to lose, but I know when I’m not… wanted. Which doesn’t happen often. He’s lucky. He doesn’t deserve it.”
"… I don’t understand what you are talking about.“
"Oh, darling. I think that’s the part I find the funniest. He’ll be pissed that we had dinner together, but I can’t imagine his reaction at all when he finds out why we had dinner together. ”
"It’s late, I have to go home.“
"You’re right. Sweet dreams.” he purred, throwing a kiss at her.
Y/N did not try to understand what Désiré had meant. No doubt he had drunk too much alcohol during the meal, and he had guessed that there was someone else in her heart.
Going to bed, she relaxed thinking that she was finally going to find Morpheus and his marvellous kingdom, after this long day.
The throne room was horribly empty and cold when she materialized there. Sitting on the steps of his huge staircase, Morpheus watched her with an impassive face.
“How was my brother-sister ?”
"… Your what ?“
"Desire. You were with them all night. At first I thought I had to step in, that they were going to try to hurt you, but… Matthew told me you asked to have dinner with them. A "date”. You asked your friends to find you a ‘date’, several 'dates’. So I’m not enough for you ? You don’t love me anymore ? Are you making fun of me ?“
"Morpheus.” she sighed sadly. “Of course I love you. I love you more than anything.”
“But not enough to be faithful.”
"Oh, I knew my mind would go to that ground, it’s really not fair.“
”… Your mind ?“ he repeated slowly.
"Listen, I love you. But you’re not real. It’s just a dream. I can’t wake up every morning to be reminded that this isn’t true, that I’m alone, not loved, and the only times I feel some joy are during my sleep, with a being that my subconscious has invented. You are perfect, and the more time I spend with you, in this fabulous world, the more I cut myself of the real world. It’s not healthy.”
“It is true that it is not good for mortals to live in the Dream. But that does not mean that it is not real. That we are not real. You… You really don’t know who I am ? You really don’t know it’s not just a dream ? It’s never just a dream.“
"Morpheus… Don’t make me hope in vain.”
"I told you to go on dates in the waking world, boss. Just because you always say you exist doesn’t mean the lady is going to believe it’s true.“
The little raven trembled a bit when his master looked at him, flying away to rest on Y/N’s shoulder, where he would be safe, for the moment.
"Maybe I should have listened to you, Matthew. But it’s not too late. Desire also showed me that our love was strong, they couldn’t do anything against it. I just have to make up for my mistake.”
Slowly, Morpheus stood up, approaching Y/N, who didn’t know what to make of this dream. It really wasn’t like the other nights.
He caressed her cheek tenderly, before kissing her like every time she was going to have to leave soon.
"When you wake up my love, I’ll be there and you won’t have any reason to be sad, or look for another partner.“
"Don’t make me…”
“This dream is over.”
Jumping up in bed, Y/N first looked at the window, seeing that it was still dark. She then looked at the time, which made her sigh. It was still very late.
“Good evening my love.”
This time, in addition to jumping, she screamed, falling off her bed. Immediately, a man came running to her side, asking her if she was alright and helping her to sit on the mattress. He had the voice of Morpheus. And his face.
No, it was impossible.
"Well done, boss. Subtle. She wasn’t scared at all.“
"Silence, Matthew. My love, forgive me, I told you I would be here.”
"… I’m still dreaming ?“
"No.”
"So this is it, I’m crazy.“
"You are not in my younger sister’s domain, I can assure you. I should have explained a lot about myself to you more clearly, I should have visited you in the waking world earlier. We were so happy I was not thinking, as soon as you appeared in front of me I only wanted to be with you and I did not see that I was hurting you. I apologize. My love, I am Morpheus, Dream of the Endless, king of dreams and nightmares, prince of stories, and I am very real.”
"… You are real.“ she said softly, touching his face to make sure he really wasn’t an illusion. He closed his eyes when her fingers touched his skin, turning to make them pass on his lips. "All this time, you’ve been real. And I almost dated another man. You must hate me.”
“I wasn’t thrilled by this news, but there was a misunderstanding, so I forgive you, if you promise me never to do this again, and to stay away from Desire.”
"His name is Désiré, and okay.“
"Desire is my brother sister, my sibling. Another Endless. They wanted to have fun with you, at my expense, but your feelings were strong and sincere, preventing them from manipulating you, and proving to me that I had no reason to be jealous.”
"But you were still a little jealous.“
"No.”
"Boss.“ muttered the raven, poking its head out of its creator’s cloak. "Boss, you’re really bad with girls. You always have to say yes. Yes I’m jealous, but I trust you, I love you, I don’t deserve you and I’ll do anything to be worthy of…”
“Thanks Matthew, you can go back to the Dreaming now.”
"I’m a good wingman, I think it’s safer if I stay.“
"My love and I are together for the first time in the waking world, at night, in her room, on her bed.”
"… See you, boss ! Madam ! Be good !“
The raven disappeared back into the cloak. Morpheus waited a few moments, as if wanting to make sure he was gone, before laying sensually on top of her, suddenly looking a bit taller, his shadow enveloping the entire room as a sort of purr emanated from him. Y/N wondered if she was really awake.
"So, my love, what do you want to do ?” he asked, as he asked her every night.
"Hmm… I’m too tired to go out. It’s a little late to read, watch a movie or even dance. So what could we do ?“
"What, indeed ?”
"Is the king of dreams sleeping ? Is he dreaming ?“
"No, and no. But I think about you all the time, to the point that it interferes with my work. A lot of people often dreamed of you, because I wasn’t concentrating enough.”
"Are you willing to sleep with me ? I mean, sleep sleep. I’m really tired. But if you’re here tomorrow morning… You know.“
"It would be an honour for me to watch over you while you sleep. I already do it every night, but to hold you in my arms while you are asleep. It is the most beautiful proof of love and trust. Not many people realize that there is nothing more vulnerable than a sleeping being. Thank you for this gift, my love.”
Smiling, Y/N snuggled up to him after being settled under the covers. She would have liked to listen to his heart before falling asleep, but obviously he had none. He didn’t need it, he wasn’t human.
They would talk about that later, and the consequences that implied.
But now she was tired, and happy that Morpheus was really there, in her bed.
"Are you really not going to sleep ?“
"No. I’m going to beg my father for the night to pass faster, so that it’s morning and we… You know.”
Y/N would also ask him about his strange family when she was better awake. In the meantime, she fell asleep peacefully in the arms of Morpheus, who sang her a lullaby while stroking her hair.

Every time I see Morpheus' castle I cannot resist thinking of the treatise called _The Architecture_ by Wendel Dietterlin. And it makes sense, because Dietterlin based his architectural ideas on an intention to create a sense of utopian dreaminess.
It's a nice coincidence for me, 'cause Dietterlin had a great influence on the Baroque and especially on the Novo-Hispanic. Although the latter has nothing to do with it, I was very excited when I read about Dietterlin for a class due to the fact baroque is my favorite artistic style!
I'm sorry if my English is bad, I'm doing my best.
Cada que veo el castillo de Morfeo no puedo evitar pensar en el tratado llamado _Architectura_de Wendel Dietterlin. Y es que tiene sentido, porque Dietterlin basaba sus ideas arquitectónicas en una intención de crear una sensación de ensoñación utópica.
Es una bonita coincidencia para mí, porque Dietterlin tuvo gran influencia en el barroco y sobre todo en el novohispano. Aunque esto último no tenga nada que ver, me emocioné mucho cuando leí sobre Dietterlin en una clase debido el barroco es mi estilo artístico favorito.
Perdón si mi inglés está fe0, estoy haciendo mi mejor esfuerzo
The Sandman | alas poor Corinthian, I knew him
Este fragmento de The Sandman me recuerda muchísimo al ejemplo que usamos lxs historiadorxs (al menos en mo colegio) para entender que la realidad que es como un pastel. Pero no podemos ver toooda la realidad en si misma, sino que la entendemos por rebanadas pequeñas y desde perspectivas distintas. UwU
