“Obviously, Despair Is Now Connected To Edwin, So It Would Be Fun To Explore Where That Goes After

8, 3 and 5 from the dbda asks game! 💚

(writing this during small breaks at work because this is more important, also I'm bored. I'm so glad I got more asks!)

8. Headcanon!

Well you didn't specify any character and since I already did Charles then I'll pick a character myself-

Niko!

Niko would've been bff with Delirium of the Endless. When I saw Niko for the first time I was sure she was going to be related to Delirium somehow. The colours in her brain?? Her whole personality?? She's such a Delirium coded.

Turns out the colours were only from the sprites, unrelated to Delirium. It really disappointed me because Delirium is my favourite Sandman character and I really hoped to see something related to her.

So yeah Niko and Delirium would be besties, I really think they would really get along great and understand each other. They share the same side of the 'tism spec.

If Edwin can have an Endless bestie (or to be more accurate, an Endless that decided they like him and he's their friend now), Niko also can have an Endless.

3. Favourite client:

Oh damn. Well I like Monty, the cute tragic mommy issues little crow boy, so I guess it's not really a contest. Even if he was just a ruse. I also like the lighthouse keeper that was a reference to Neil Gaiman it was pretty funny character choice.

5. Favourite case:

The develin house murder. There's no question in that. I rewatched this episode so many times. I wanted to cry with Charles. He made me feel so much stuff. That episode hit me deeply and made me understand better some stuff about my own trauma.

I love Charles and I was glad I got to see that side of him, that wasn't so pretty. And I loved to see Edwin and Crystal's relationship developing.

How many dbda fics I'm writing at the moment? 5!

How many of them I am probably close to finish if I'll actually be able to dedicate my willpower to focus on them? Most!

What am I gonna finish soon? Eh.....

What I want to write? Something new!!

Edwin probably had a deep technological shock when he came back.

I imagine myself Charles the 80s boy is teasing him for not getting along with technology well (teasing affectionately, of course).

Crystal the gen z is laughing at both of them.

Just a reminder that 'Request a Title On Netflix' still exists.....so maybe go ask for Dead Boy Detectives season 2 three times https://help.netflix.com/en/titlerequest

(I don't tend to ask people to reblog things, but please reblog this instead of liking it. please SPREAD this knowledge. we want them to be bombarded by requests, and that only happens if people know this link exists. It worked for the Sense8 finale, we need it to work now)

They will come back - come back again, even though Netflix destroys. We never wasted fanfic, art or memes. Do you think We would squander our boys?

They wanted to give America a proper nationality instead of her being generically Latina. America is now Puerto Rican.

Oh cool! This is good to know.

Yeah this was a plot whole that I was wandering about myself. But this retcon is still kinda sad to me because we lost the lesbians planet and the beautiful lesbian goddesses and everything.

But I guess there are some good parts as well. I can understand that.

I think the Cat King is at least part Fey?

The fey canonically exists in the Sandman Universe.

Their lore wasn't deeply explored in "The Dreaming: Waking Hours" where a major part of the plot took place in their realm, but they did seem to follow the traditional versions and go by the same rules.

Let's examine this:

Magical tricksters.

Blur the lines between good and evil, morally grey beings.

Time passes differently on realms of the fey.

Luck of understanding of boundaries. They'll get involved in your drama, they'll push you and invade your privacy.

Able to shift their appearance, wear disguise. The fey were shown to do that in the comics.

Known to be very liberated about sexualities. Fruity as fuck.

Don't obey the usual gender norms (CK wears a skirt and is very feminine).

Truth related powers in some versions???

Weakness to iron. (CK was beaten to death with an iron bar).

Extremely long life but they can die.

(Also go by title name/nicknames rather than more usual names? Because real names holds different weight).

(Also it would made hella sense for Desire to sleep with a Fey in my eyes but that's just me and my hc).

Just think about it.

Do you think Alfred has that book for Damian?

I know Damian is vegetarian not vegan but still. Plus I'm pretty sure he drinks only batcow's milk to not abuse other animals (obviously he treats her well and in fair living conditions) so it could make sense.

Ngl, I don't know about you but I am still waiting for it all to be just one big joke "hey guys that source wasn't reliable actually, Netflix just announced they are making a season 2!"

Is it healthy thinking? No. Am I currently crying to my pillow just absolutely shocked and I need it to be true? Yes.

Theory

Lucifer from Christianity and Apollo from Greek mythology are the same person

I wanna see more people talk about it.

I am maybe Jewish, but I'm currently obsessed with the character of Lucifer in the Christianity or as they are known in Judaism, Samael, and sometimes also known as Satan.

He's so similar to Apollo from Greek mythology. Greek mythology was my obsession before I took an interest in Jewish borderline Christian mythology. (Specially the concepts of heaven and hell, more specifically angels and more specifically hyperfixiate on Lucifer/Samael/Satan and how their character is perceived in cultures).

Apollo and Lucifer are the same person. I saw some references of Lucifer to Venus but I never saw about someone talk about their similarity to Apollo.

- living in the kingdom of celestial beings like them that is high in the sky.

- a very strong light relation- Apollo the god of light and sun between other things, he has a very strong relation to everything related to light.

Lucifer the light bringer, even Lucifer former name, Samael, have a meaning related to light in Hebrew. סמאל/סמאאל comes from the Hebrew word סמא that has a light related meaning (a very strong light), and the word אל (el) that means god (Like in Gabriel, Michael, Ezrael, and etc). Or in other words, the light of God.

- The one who brings the light (Lucifer the light bringer, Apollo in his chariot)

- The young child of the big mighty god that tried to overthrown their dad the big old dad and started a rebellion. Apollo tried twice to take over Zeus revenge his dad. And Lucifer also started a rebellion against God to revenge and overthrown him. And as their punishment their dad casts them down to earth from the kingdom in the sky.

- related concepts of beauty and appearance related to light. Apollo is the model of male beauty in ancient Greece. Both men and women adores him. He's described as golden because of his relation to sun and light. Lucifer is the prettiest among the angels, he had golden hair and white wings, giving him a very golden and maybe even pure appearance.

- related concepts of passions and enjoyment. Apollo is more a character of revelry lifestyle (not to confuse with Dionysus that also have a relation to this) and the arts professions, encourage people to become more free. Lucifer also encouraging people to follow their pleasures, to sin, and party and become more free. Lucifer is just want to free people

Basically they both just tell you to enjoy and do what you love and want.

Again, young beautiful rebel child of the big mighty God in a kingdom in the sky with a strong relation and appearance related to light started a rebellion, their dad casts them to earth for their "sins", the light bringer, encourage people to do what they want and follow their passions.

Maybe it's a coincidence, I don't know (it's not)

Anyway what's your opinion? Can you find more characters in other mythologies that are similar and also in this pattern? I would like to know
