Realized I have freedom of will and that even if I can’t punch a character in the face, I can certainly write about them being punched in the face.

Gilbert Green, when I write Hob Gadling getting his hands on you-

Morpheus gives both an explicit AND an implicit apology as early as season 1, episode 2. Which Gilbert would know, if Fiddler’s Green hadn’t abandoned the Dreaming with everyone else (besides Lucienne).

Gilbert, when I catch you… “Oh, Lord Morpheus would never apologize.” You DUMB LAWN he DID you just weren’t paying attention for 3 (and 100+) YEARS!!!!

The only interpretation of the Daniel and Gilbert scene that could make me less mad is that it is a slightly different Gilbert due to being resurrected based off of Morpheus’ -> Daniel’s memories, and thus is basing his speech on Morpheus’ thoughts/memories and not his own.

Because despite Everything, Morpheus’ struggles to acknowledge his own changes and that he was loved. So if Daniel is recreating beings and memories based only on Morpheus’ memories…

In this way Morpheus remaining dead also remains his choice rather than Gilbert fucking Green talking out his ass.

I don’t think this was the intended reading at all, but that’s not going to stop me from believing it lmao. 🤷
