Three ships: Currently obsessed with Dreamling (Hob x Morpheus // The Sandman), but Merthur (Merlin x Arthur // BBC's Merlin) and Geraskier (Geralt x Jaskier //The Witcher Series) will forever hold special places in my heart

First ever ship: It might be Destiel?? it's either that or Merthur, I honestly don't remember

Last song: Black Lipstick by Powerman 5000...recently it's been giving me 80's Dreamling vibes, but like. If they went to an 80's themed night club and acted-out how the 1989 meeting would have gone, should they have met up...god I have a whole idea around this now

Last movie: Kingsman The Golden Circle. I fucking love the kingsman movies, specifically the first two...idk about the prequel, but the first two are definitely up there with my favourite movies of all time. It takes a special kind of self restraint not to watch those two movies back to back to back for 10 hours straight

Currently reading: Giving Sanctuary by @avelera (Forever eating bricks over this fic - in the best way), but Shelter by @softest-punk, Fey Divorce Court Isn't a Thing by @moorishflower, and literally countless other fantastic fics are in my marked for later, ready to be read when my brain wants to cooperate. There are so many damn good fics out there, the talent is insane

Currently watching: Nothing much tbh...another Sandman rewatch is in order I think, as well as Good Omens, but besides that it's mostly been movies with the occasional episode of something in between to spice things up. Labyrinth, X-men first class & days of future past, Derry Girls, Sense8, etc

Currently consuming: Gozleme. So much chicken gozleme it's not even funny

Currently craving: A good night's sleep and a little bit of hope, but I'll settle for some warm food...or a strawberry thickshake

As of late, on my walks home from university in the evenings when the Sun is just setting over the misty city and the world is a mix of yellows and oranges and the cool wind rustles the leaves, I walk down the hill and listen to the music and I let myself dream.

Pretty much, songs that make me think dreamling and hob singing to dream in front of an open fire while he looks on with the half smile and wonder in his eyes.

Dear Fellow Traveller - Sea wolf

I'm not sure what about this song it's always been one thats made my imagination run, i think it's because of the imagery. These lyrics especially :

"And though my love is so wise and so pretty

Some nights I'll still dream of you, you

And I know you're out there in the shadows"

From Hobs perspective speaking to Dream, who is "wise" and "pretty". Dream who gave Hob the chance to travel eternally, not necessarily in distance but certainly in time.

I like to imagine the "beautiful city" is in a way the dreaming, the only constant in Hobs life, closest he has to a home since the physical world has changed so much and the people and places he loves have all but disappeared. Yet the dreaming is always there and Dream is connected to it, despite Hob being unaware of it's presence. Maybe he thinks of it when he longs for a home he never had, and since it never existed I supposed it counts as a dream.

Obviously the dreaming of you speak for itself hehehe, and we all know Dream loves to lurk in the shadows so i think its cute and fitting and a good song either way.

Hopeless Wanderer - Mumford and Sons

Left a clouded mind and a heavy heart

But I am sure we could see a new start

So when your hopes on fire

But you know your desire

Don't hold a glass over the flame

Don't let your heart grow cold

I will call you by name

I will share your road

But hold me fast, hold me fast

'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer

Hob gadling is a wanderer through time, he has no aim other than to live and experience life, it's in his nature, he couldn't reject it if he tried.

I imagine this verse happened just after their fight, Hob is asking dream forgiveness, a new start, he feels sad that pushing his friend drove him away.

We can then move onto when Dreams "hope [is] on fire" during the time he's been imprisoned. Hob begs Dream not to let his heart "grow cold" trying to show dream not all men are sadist selfish, and to give humanity another chance.

Also Hob calling Dream by name sounds so fucking cute, i assume dream can hear when people are asking for him wherever they are, omnipresent?? That the word? Anyway i like the though of Hob bringing Dream out of dark places.

Yeah anyway, you get the idea, some of the lyrics work if you twist everything into a pretzel and mash them all together
