An elemental drops into the Dreaming and asks for refuge. Dream is absent and so Mervyn makes an executive decision and puts him in charge of the castle kitchen. When Dream returns and holds an audience for Cain and Abel, Hob, the fire elemental, serves them tea. Dream questions him, having never seen him before. Cain and Abel are very appreciative of the improved hospitality of the castle, though, and so Dream is a bit dumbfounded as they congratulate him on his newest household member. Dream grudgingly agrees to let Hob stay and work the kitchen. Hob brings Dream tea and biscuits regularly, despite Dream not being interested in any of it. Sometimes Hob lingers and sees the Dreamlord nibbling at a biscuit, though, and he smiles happily and notes which ones he likes. Dream grows to accept Hob's presence and unstoppable attempts to feed him but he still keeps his distance. One day there's heavy rain in the Dreaming and they all know what that means. Hob makes Dream's favourite tea and biscuits (the ones he's seen him definitely taste more than once before) and brings them to the Endless' quarters. Dream ignores Hob's calls and so, although Dream is on the balcony, in the rain, the elemental grits his teeth and steps out towards him, to offer him comfort. When Dream hears the hissing of flames being extinguished by water he wheels around in horror and sees Hob standing there in the rain, holding a tray with tea and biscuits, pain written all over his face but still smiling at him. Dream hastily shoves him back under the awning of the roof, snarling at him, "What do you think you're doing?" Hob simply smiles at him, still wincing as parts of him are slowly reshaping themselves, "Looking after you, my Lord. Making sure you're comfortable. Warm. Happy." "Happy- that is-" Dream falters, "That is not your duty!" Hob shrugs. "Should be someone's. I volunteered."

For the Monsterfucktober Bingo square "Elemental" and the Sandtober prompt "fire".

Sandman Inktober 2023, Day 5 Sigils

“My siblings I stand not in my gallery and I don’t hold your sigils but I need your help”

So for this one I was inspired by this panel of Sandman Overture:

Art wise Sandman Overture is my favorite Sandman volume ( with Sandman Dream Hunters not very far behind) and this was one of my favorite scenes in the comic so it felt appropriate for today’s prompt 🖤

It's that time of year for anyone thinking about flexing their creative muscles and wanting to try their hand at a bit of art to throw themselves into Inktober!

This year thanks to this lovely fandoms enthusiam I thought it would be fun to run a Sandman themed inktober month and with help from the extremely talented @seiya-starsniper who has put together the above graphic, we have our prompt list for 2023!

Rules

Like all Inktober events the challenge is to post one piece of art each day throughout October to fit the prompt of that day.

All art mediums are welcome, from pencil sketches, to paints, to digital art etc.

If you fancy using the prompts as writing prompts instead that is also more than welcome.

Please ensure all posts are tagged #sandtober2023 to ensure that they are found.

If you would like to tag me too please do as I will reblog all contributions I come across.

If you can't commit to creating every single day thats absolutely fine! Pick the prompts and the days that you can do and go big for those!

This really is a no pressure, low commitment event if you want it to be, but of course if you want to challenge yourself to posting every day that is also highly encouraged! Do whatever you feel you can do!

There are no rules regarding characters or ships other than that they have to relate to either The Sandman comic or Netflix show.

Obviously standard fandom etiquette applies re no hate, discrimination, racism, homophobia, etc etc.

Also lets adhere to Tumblrs ban on anything too NSFW *sigh*. I'm personally fine with it but if you do wanna do something spicy maybe avoid drawing genitalia or anything that'll ping the filters.

Please do spread the prompts far and wide, cross-post to other social media, discord servers, anywhere you feel will generate interest so long as you tag #Sandtober2023

Most importantly HAVE FUN! I really can't wait to see what you all come up with!

I imagine this to be an alternate 1889, where Dream reacts to Hob's question much more favorably - after flaring his nostrils he changes into a nightmarish form and looms over Hob, expecting him to flee, but Hob only stares in awe and can barely restrain himself from reaching out and touching Dream's bone white limbs and porcellain face - "more tea, then, love?" he asks with only a tiny quiver in his voice, and Dream, stunned, sinks back down in his too small chair and admits defeat.

for Sandtober #12 "red", the DN House of Horrors "tea set" and the Monsterfucktober Bingo square "anthropod"

Inktober Day 3 - Path 🪨

Distance can be a strange thing in dreams, and the path to Dream’s castle—or what was left of it—was no exception.

Sandman Inktober 2023, Day 1 Dream.

So this was a very ambitious thing to do to begin inktober month! I don’t think I’ll be able to do pieces like this for the whole month but I was both tempted by a whole set of ink brushes as I was by my lovely friend who inspired me to do my own version of a Hypnos Dream of the Endless @mathomhouse-e ( psss if you click here you’ll see her own wonderful Hypnos Dream!)

Thank you @orionsangel86 for organizing this wonderful event! I hope I can do more and see more wonderful art inspired by Sandman 🖤

His mother is the embodiment of emptiness.

Her milk is the void between the stars.
