Stereoview of a hussar and his sweetheart, or perhaps ex-sweetheart, c. 1850s

#love to see a man covered in frogging! just a real well-frogged fella #he is not winning hearts but he is winning fashion #given the timing this might be about the Charge of the Light Brigade in which case he is also not winning battles #19th century #1800s #1850s #1850s fashion #19th century fashion #historical fashion #fashion history #victorian #victorian era #uniforms #hussars #vintage men #19th century men #stereoview #animated gif

My controversial opinion about Hob Gadling is that I believe he’s absolutely the sort of guy that “puts things behind him”, and tries to wash his hands clean of the things he feels icky about. This is implied pretty well in the show, with him blithely moving from soldiering and robbery to printing, from slaving to… whatever it was he was doing in the 19th century instead. That being said, this is not at all the same as actively trying to atone, or even making a concerted effort to be a better person, and I really wish fandom could tell the difference!

#the amount of times I’ve seen people argue that Hob has redeemed himself and ofc feels really horrible about his role in the slave trade #but there is ZERO textual indication that’s true #in fact judging by how he acts in the 19th century and how he was after all the other shit he did that he maybeeee feels kind of sheepish #and would just like to move on thanks!#i love flawed characters and I love monstrous characters and I love hypocrites and I love friendly amoral assholes #Hob is genuinely a super compelling character and embodies the sort of greed of humanity we see in other forms in Madoc and Burgess #he’s got a more friendly face and he’s a slightly lighter version of it but sandman presents humanity as fundamentally flawed and greedy #and Hob is that to a T #I’d really love it if fandom embraced this version of Hob #making him a fluffy anti-racist progressive hip college professor is just so weird #or especially when they have him espouse progressive views… in the past???#look Hob is actual facts a worse person than the Corinthian in a lot of metrics #when I see 17th century Hob talk about the beautiful diversity of humans I just lose my mind a little #also he’s clearly a wolf of Wall Street yuppie asshole in 1984 #hot take Dreamling would be more fun and spicier if people leaned into Hob’s canon traits more #both Dream and Hob are kind of awful #I actually like Hob!#but… man I do not like fanon Hob one bit

I am glad that I have seen the changes of day; to behold the sun, fountain of light, and the gentle pilgrim moon; to have seen the fire bearing flowers of the sky, and the flowery stars of earth; to have witnessed the sowing and the harvest. I am glad that I have loved, and have experienced sympathetic joy and sorrow for my fellow creatures.

I do think that a good chunk of killjoys are long-time sufferers of "if I don't make art I'll die" disease, but also I think amongst that demographic there's and even more niche, more annoying sub-demographic made up of people who treat art as solely a political statement and constantly get in shit with other crews/runners over disregarding Zone common sense or coming up with the most batshit insane and specific unwritten rules no one can really be assed to understand or even take the time of day to consider

#can you tell i really dislike art made to fit a narrative rather than create one? /s #anyways. this is partly me rotating the general demographic of the zones (the queer; the destitute; the bohemic) and partly my never ending #feud with the political landscape of late 19th century-early 20th century literary circles #especially titu maiorescu. i hold nothing but contempt for that man. he makes me forth at the mouth. i want to explode him (deorgatory)#danger days #killjoys #ttlotfk #the zones #headcanon #zone headcanons
