It’s utterly magnetic when a character’s rage is quiet and precise. When they don’t scream and throw things but they just b r e a t h e and very very calmly aim their fury like an arrow shooting inexorably towards the target of their wrath. It captures my attention, I lean in close, I wait for the hit. It never disappoints.
Hey! Long time no see. I hope you’re doing well😊 Posting new art after such a long break is nerve racking, but I’m happy to be back, and I’m not going to disappear anytime soon🖤
When Dream walked away in 1889, was Hob worried his immortality was at an end? Was he super careful for a couple decades? Obv he’s upset when Dream leaves because he sees him as a friend. But I just wonder if he also feared that Dream was upset enough to end the whole thing.
Edit to Add: The other half of this is that whether or not Dream felt himself outraged to the point he would consider it, his pride would never allow him to talk to Death about it. He can handle his own issues, thank you. And also he knows she would call him out for being a stuck up ponce.
Okay why is nobody talking about how Dream protected Hob by telling him that, even while being inmortal, he could still be captured and hurt. Why is nobody talking about the implied tragedy of taking a inmortal being and forcing them to be stuck in a cell, limiting the limitless, spending the years in an stasis that takes the life out of the living.
Why is nobody talking about Dream not wanting Hob to experience the torture and helplessness of trapped inmortality, only to find himself in that very same situation centuries later.
