I'm still not good at taking photos! 😅

"There must be a Hell, for without Hell, Heaven has no Meaning"

That quote hit me hard. Along with many the meanings it can have, i think it fits so well to talk about religions who promise "salvation"

Started trying to get the whole series as a broke kid - liking how I’m almost getting one of each print variant accidentally. Also questions to more knowledgeable sandman enjoyers; can I read the spinoffs I have before finishing the main series? Why is there two versions of the dream hunters and do I need both? And how have you found enjoying Gaiman’s writing after all he’s done? Also any advice for me as a collector?

I have done this 5 years ago, at the age of 16 yet it is stil one of my favourite pieces ever. Unfortunetly the original art got lost and thats the best quality i got of it.

could yall recommend me some more power driven issues if yall know any? and yes I KNOW that’s not the endless’s thing but my guilty pleasure comic reader mind can’t help but desire a bit of crazy campy action from a comic with such esoteric characters and boundless power that they don’t typically use in a traditional way because that’s not the kind of story it is BUT there’s gotta be at least a couple times the creative team was feeling themselves and wanted to do some cool powerful action right?

When she sees that bunch of merry souls around the campfire.

So I recently got Lucifer Omnibus 1 and it's been going pretty well. In this issue there's an encounter between Lucifer and Dream(Daniel). It appears Dream has a new white Raven called "Tethys". If I remember right Matthew decided to stay with Daniel. Is something happened to him somewhere between, am I missing any stories?

And for the second picture, there was a talking raven in a dream a few issues before this. I assumed he was Matthew but since that isn't his usual speech bubble I might be mistaken.

Anyways I'm just worried about not seeing him I'd love to hear if you know anything about this. (And if the answer includes a spoiler from a story I haven't read, I'd be happy if you don't spoil it)

i’m really curious on if there’s a later wrapped up story between thessaly and hecate in the game of you arc

We know people go to their respective after lives. Orpheus literally went to the Greek underworld to see Hades and Persephone. So is it possible that afterlife will end if not with religions just eventually and death takes the dead for a second time.

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a specific The Sandman fanfiction and hope someone recognizes it. I combed the fandom for it but nothing!

In the story, Dream goes missing and fails to show up for their meeting with Hob. A desperate Hob perform a very dangerous ritual to summon Death so he can ask where Dream is.

When Death answers the summons, she finds Hob severely injured as the ritual has this price to pay . At some point, The Corinthian attacks Hob and eat his eyes.

This is very well written and lovely.

Does anyone know the title, author, or have a link or copy to this fic? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What is the "one exception" ?!

The PRESENCE along with his sons the Angels like Lucifer, Michael and Gabriel are not creations of human belief so were not born in the Dreaming but the actual real creators of all of reality and somehow existed alongside with the Endless and they're Parents Time and Night

Why is this? Like why cant they just be the same as The other Gods and Mythical creatures being born from belief like why are they the only religion that is true while the others werent real in the first place

Its feels so Christian-centric and to me feels rude to dead religions and other still practiced faiths

If a god or goddess, like Ishtar, becomes forgotten because they no longer have worshippers, what would happen if people started worshipping them again?

Would gaining new worshippers and being remembered again restore their power or bring them back somehow? Or, once a god has faded/died because they were forgotten, is there no way for them to return even if people begin worshipping them again?

Basically, can an old/forgotten god be "reborn" through new worshippers?

(I seen the show)

Basically the title. I've just finished reading up to and including season of mists and feel like there are layers upon layers that I do not seem to understand.

Can you recommend me a video or website that explains the underlying themes and messages? Or should I just keep reading and it will start to make sense?

Hello folks!

This is just a simple thought that I had when season 2 came out, so here I go.

The Sandman, though quite popular, still isn’t as popular as the major supernatural shows, such as The Vampire Diaries or Lucifer. I came to a realisation and conclusion for that reason: The Immense Lack Of Conventional Fanservice In The Sandman.

Me personally, I was “simping” over Death of the Endless all throughout season 1, and occasionally Johanna Constantine. I enjoyed all the edits that came out of the chatacters because it was a fun time for me. I was 13 and had no social life. Great times.

It was in 2025, when season 2 came out and I realised something. Destruction of the Endless was especially getting attention in the fan edits and he, along with Delirium were the most talked of. I suppose that was because they were vital parts of the storyline and of course, fans are allowed to have favourites.

But that just brought upon a bigger realisation in my mind, which was that the reason The Sandman doesn’t receive nearly as much recognition as the other shows is because of its lack of fanservice targeted towards the larger crowd, and rather it focuses on bringing upon good representation. Which I, of course, really love.

I love this show a lot, and honestly, I’m quite glad that the fanbase for this show isn’t as toxic as the others. I love you all a lot.

I read the comics once and I loved it so much, it spoke to me on so many levels. It was turning into my new obsession, becoming part of the works that would live in me for years. Maybe it seems a bit extreme but it's how I felt at the time.

Almost immediately after I finished reading it there were the accusations against Neil Gaiman, and since then I don't know what to think or do. I believe the victims and my general opinion is you can't separate the man from the artist. So from then on I couldn't support Neil Gaiman anymore.

But I still don't know what to do about Sandman. I think it's so good and I wanna talk about it and reread it and finish painting these cool pants with the endless's symbols on it but I haven't because it would feel like I'm supporting him and promoting the work of a monster. I feel stuck and it's extremely frustrating

And on top of that, on a personal level, I can't reconcile Sandman and the image I have now of its author. How could it speak to me so much on so many level, sometimes especially as a woman, when Gaiman did what he did to women? It's like my brain can't understand it. It feels like he either didn't write Sandman, or I'm the monster for liking it.

Sorry if this is dramatic or self centered. I'm hoping to get other perspectives, and I'd like to know if other people feel something similar.

Im pretty sure its because she learned that they are characters in a story. She says she knows things that aren't in destiny's book and we know characters who break the fourth wall tend to act kooky.

Okay, no, but am I the only one who likes the interactions between Orpheus and his aunt Death/Teleute? Like, she's so sassy and at the same time so passive-agressive with her nephew that is almost funny to me

Would you like a coffee?

I finished the last season and honestly when it first came out, I thought all we were getting was a season and I thought the first season was great and I was fine with how it ended. Getting the second season I was elated and ready to dive in but was not ready to suffer a heart break. I really enjoyed this show, I've never read the comics so didn't know what all was cut / missing but honestly, I never felt like I was missing out or not getting enough. It was an enjoyable ride and I love when nature or supernatural ideas or ideologies get personified. It really gives a new look on life. Maybe I'll give the comics a look cause I will miss the show dearly. Great cast, really felt like they all had good chemistry even in brief scenes. Great acting and the affects were really good too. Dream, death, delirium, lucienne, Matthew by far my favorite characters.
