i am going to add this to my pinned post later but this is    MY INTERPRETATION  OF THE CORINTHIAN   with a focus on the show .  this means that my portrayal will not be exactly or at all what neil gaiman intended as i haven’t really listened to him talk about the character nor have i read the comics.   i see the corinthian as someone made to be one thing ,    but feeling humanity and the freedoms of became another thing .

vivi ⁠— ❛ there exists a tipping point between gods and monsters. ❜

he tips his head ,   a slow draw of amusement clocking his veneer on points of agreement .    HE PRONOUNCED  HEATHEN  by a master he’d hoped to mirror curls tongue in serpentine blues .    there are a thousand variations of gods -  for him  they are  the endless ones.  the primary foundations of man  picking the wounds of their playthings from their high perches.   and he despises the one of dreams the most ,  for from he came himself  not as a  man but an object .  A FUNCTION FOR MAN TO SEE AND CAST THEIR SINS ASIDE .   and  yet dream knew nothing of man ,  gave not one ounce of his heart to them .      but judged him for doing the same on pretense that he was faulty .          let reason state  he did kill out of hatred but to taste humanity , to hold their free will   and  to have on  to himself a creation made in his image that  was true to itself.        *    —    ❛❛       gods  are  an   UNSAVORY   bunch ,  toeing the line of decency with a toothy grin lying free will as a test  man is bound to fail .    they play nice   only to want to grab you from the insides while you burn .     there is not a tipping point for they are always monsters waiting to feast on you .   /  @madeh0rror      ❜❜

the corinthian is  ,  a being that was  supposed to be made to be a mirror that feed off the horrible / vicious feelings that man   dreamt about .  yet he more so became  rage ( and in aspect dream’s own hidden rage )   and fastened himself to the waking world to show humans their own faults and how they were lesser than him .   his betrayal of his father ( dream )  was governed by the hurt he felt when his own father put him below these things that had no real power.    he was vicious and all of what he was bleeding on to humans ,   and opened their primal urges to kill just for killing .    and thus he was able to have his own form of worship out them .

the corinthian is the representation of thebills of society. the dark mirror with mouths as eyes because though he can see and see for time to come , a despot only sees with their mouths . the are driven by the small world their greed build with them and so they are called blind people with big voices . and so when people look at these eyes of the corinthian they are coming to see what they can become, terrfying things with no sight but mouths that are always hungry and wanting .
