Death's gift
I wrote something for death because I'm reading the comics and absolutely loved the panel where Neil quoted this poem/text about greeting death as an old friend. And it was the most beautiful thing.
warnings: bittersweet, mentions of death (obviously lol), and message me if u wanna chat! :D - its smol it was just something -
summary: Death has one appointment she does not want to attend.
Death, Dream’s older sister comes for you.
Devastated and filled with sadness, her eyes no longer held mystic. That day she had no black around her eyes and no spiral. Her hair seemed tamed, an impossible feat. That day she wore black for an entirely different reason. That day she finally understood the irreversibleness funerals held.
That day she had come for her oldest friend.
Ultimate powerlessness filled her limbs as if she was being crushed by a Nightmare itself. For the first time in eons, she didn’t want to let go. For she could not follow.
Her friend greeted her, not with tears like her own, but with a smile.
Death is not often kindly greeted; people scowl at her, hide and attempt to escape an inescapable fate. It was not unprecedented, however, it was undoubtedly rare when she was met with joy. Her happiness was genuine, directly thrown at who and what she truly was.
And so, she gave her the last warmth she had to give. With one last smile, she held her hand accepting the greatest gift.
‘I welcome you, my friend,’ she whispered. ‘For you are what gives this world it's worth’

Since today is the premier of the Sandman Netflix series, I'm posting this blast from the past: my Dream fanart from 2002. I can't find original ink drawing without the ruby added on, but here's the one file I still have. I remember doing my Endless siblings fanart series 2 freaking decades ago and I can't believe I'm watching the series now!
Expect more fan art by me coming your way of Dream and other characters from the show!!!

@neil-gaiman, I rejoined tumblr so you'd hopefully see this!
A Lego Art recreation of Dave McKean's cover to Sandman #1 (22 1/2 × 36 inches).
5,376 round 1x1s make up the portrait of Morpheus. I shifted the color tone to browns because it offered the most useable Lego pieces (and also because, you know, sand).

Let's step out of baseball for a sec. This was a book cover. The book was about Vertigo comics, so it's Death from Sandman and John Constantine, meeting in a subway one night. Unfortunately, the book never got published.
