so, i just watched the sandman cast watch party for episode six (thank you to whoever put that on youtube)
and, there were a lot of fun things in there, but the thing that struck me most was that they pointed out that this moment is the first time in the show that tom sturridge ever makes actual physical contact with another person - dream has interacted with his ravens that closely before now, but only them, no one else has ever touched him
Tumblr media
and death is a very physically affectionate person throughout this episode, and while dream clearly isn’t bothered by it, she’s (almost) always the one to initiate it
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
it’s one of the reasons the end of her half of this episode stands out, because he voluntarily takes her hands there, to thank her, which is possibly the biggest proof that talking to her here helped
Tumblr media
now, granted, neil was actually wrong in saying this was the first, there’s one moment before this, when lucienne helps him up at the end of episode one
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but in all other situations, if you go back through the other episodes, dream keeps his distance with people. they may get near to him for various reasons, but there’s always that barrier of no contact, even with hob. not just before episode six, there’s precious few moments after it too. in fact, i only found three. (there's not even any more with lucienne, after dream enters the gates of his realm the closest they ever get is when passing books between each other, and they only ever touch the books)
1) desire hair grab. which, dream is always at his most childish, his least restricted, when it comes to desire, and it shows. most of what they do all day is trying to get dream to break rules, and they’ve certainly managed to flout this one, but also, desire does it to get dream to stop acting so above everything and everyone, so it's almost the inverse of death here, pushing dream to be more human
Tumblr media
2) calliope. which, honestly, is a good example for holding to the rule, not just breaking it, because this moment they get maddeningly close, but neither one actually moves to touch the other
Tumblr media
it’s only at the end, with calliope trying to turn over a new leaf, that she initiates it, and it clearly means so much
Tumblr media
and 3) unity, after she dies, his only physical contact with a human we ever see. and i think, in this moment, it’s not about dream. this is about how terrible it is, that vortexes have to die for the sake of all creation, he desperately doesn’t want to kill them, every time, and he feels enormous guilt over that. and unity saved him from having to kill rose, all he can do is be grateful, and to treat her as kindly as possible
Tumblr media
but what a great physical translation of dream’s tendency to isolate himself. his biggest problem is that because he’s not human he doesn’t think he’s capable of experiencing life the way humans do, and he ignores so many of his own needs because those are frivolous mortal things and endless should be better than that
when really the endless, despite their age and their power, are painfully human, and death is the only one who’s really worked that out, which is why she does her best to put those things back in dream’s life
and for dream, he physically removes himself from that world, from those people, from the things he wants but thinks he shouldn’t. he’s devastatingly alone, keeping everyone he’s ever known at literal arm’s reach.
people have written about him being touch starved because of the cage, and i love reading all of that, but he was touch starved long before that

Love that Terra clearly had the worst possible understanding of Eda and Raine (thinking they wouldn’t team up to fight her as kids, that Raine wasn’t smart enough to lie through their teeth until the Day of Unity, etc) but even SHE knows damn well those two are absolute fucking losers for each other. Can you imagine how insufferable they had to be off-screen for Terra to openly mock it with zero hesitation. What did she have to bear witness to

May-be-sort-of taking a break from posting for a bit because I have a big project due in a few days and I think it's gonna take all my brainpower. If you see me posting anyways it's because I haven't set up my ADHD appointment yet or maybe I actually need the time to cool off but for 9 days feel free to yell at me to get back to work (except for one day. you'll know which day it is)

The things I've learned:
-> Sorn magicked himself into being sterile
-> He kisses his sister and neither of them are happy about it
-> The twins usually work together in orgies but since Ffion's death, Mamzell Amira has them working solo in an attempt to pull in more cash
-> Second to Ffion, the twins are the stars of Sharess' Caress. I haven't found anything talking about Queen Rhol or Naoise's services beyond Mamzell being excited about having a real life Nymph in her brothel

Comforting to know that in the face of fascism and eugenics and an overall ableist and sanist society that some of y'all would turn on one another over online slur discourse in two seconds
If you'd throw me and others under the bus, don't be surprised when we only show up for each other and not for you
[This post is about lateral aggression between the mentally ill and physically disabled communities as well as mind body dualism, but can also apply to p much any oppression olympics]
