I Was Honestly Stunned By The Sheer Amount Of Expression That Came From Just His Eyes.

I was honestly stunned by the sheer amount of expression that came from just his eyes.

Never actually understood all that talking-with-eyes stuff before now tbh.

Are folks ready to admit Neil Gaiman was right about the eyes thing? Like, he said on his own Tumblr that it was for the acting performance (which matters a lot more for a long-form show). And the night-eyes look great and impactful when they make their appearances! But yeah, considering Morpheus is *completely silent* for the first 40 minutes of the first episode, and had to do a lot of acting *entirely with his eyes*, it works impeccably well.

Seriously though shout out to Tom Sturridge for the micro expressions. You know the era of tumblr where people would read paragraphs of meta into a character blinking? He does that. Manages a whole range of expressions without ever leaving the address of "slight pout".

Honestly don't know what I would do without purple. I love you, every shade of purple.

i love you purple i love you lavender i love you lilac i love you wisteria i love you violet i love you mauve i love you periwinkle i love you amethyst i love you

Dream of the Endless has like massive aroace energy but like also extreme sexual tension with almost every person he meets.

the energy here honestly is so fucking sexy (in an asexual way)

The Sandman is FUCKING AMAZING and I recommend that everyone watches it.

Morpheus and his long, black coat

+bonus: 

People end up steam rolling his character into just the happy pretty guy who can flip and occasionally quip, if that.

I've seen fics where the author basically argues that Dick's trauma is negligible, especially when comparing it to his brother, simply because "he doesn't act traumatised."Hello?? Do you not see the blaring signs of Eldest Daughter syndrome? The severe trauma surrounding nearly every aspect of his life? His adoptive father, his suit, his city, his brothers, his acrobatics, so many friendships and romantic relationships, and he's still come out stronger.

There's so much to explore with him! His morality, his non traditional skillset, his connections and dynamics, his ambition, his selflessness and its roots and causes, his versatility and adaptability, his influence and SO much more.

People deciding that he is a shallow, ✨ aesthetique ✨character is such a disservice, when he really is one of the most beautifully complex characters around.

dick grayson is such a complex character with depth but people always ignore it to sexualize him (even though in the comics he battles with being objectified + he’s been harassed multiple times in comics because of this) and it gets on my nerves
