King!Dream and Knight!Hob! All the feels you can fit in that bad boy! Angst, pining, whump, whatever floats your boat! Spicy times if the spirit moves you!

THESE TWO ARE EVERYTHING TO ME AND I LOVE THEM, BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS IT CAN GO. BUT HERE IS ONE OF THEM!!

~!~

There's, of course, the Knight Hob who has been working his way into the position, is FIERCELY loyal to his king, and becoming a member of his Kingsguard is everything he has ever wanted in his entire life. It's an honor and a pleasure (even though it makes him ache, soul-deep, as he realizes how lonely his King is, how much the crown weighs on him, and how much everyone demands from him, and how the King denies himself to meet the needs of others).

They get closer and closer, because Hob isn't befitting a Consort, even as Dream himself (his King had insisted, whispering, demanding, that he use his given name, because save for his Niece, his Heir, no one else did, and Hob hadn't been able to resist the quiet plea in those words), picks an Heir and protects their Kingdom and continues to rule alone. So though he cannot rule by Dream's side, Hob does everything he can to support Dream, every day.

Sometimes that includes dismissing the other guards to ensure the King can take a bath in peace. Sometimes it includes ensuring the fire is extra built up on the coldest nights and the warmest of furs have made their way onto Dream's bed. He loves his King (because of course he loves Dream), and there is nothing he wouldn't do to ensure that his King was happy. Absolutely nothing. He would give anything, everything, to ensure the happiness of his King.

And that includes his own life.

When an attempt is made on Dream's life, when the crossbow bolt is pointed at him from across the hall, Hob is stepping up and into it, without a second's thought. It tears through his shoulder, sinking deep into the flesh, and Hob's last thought is that he hopes he dies, not because he wants to die (far from it - he never wants to die), but because he will no longer be able to protect his King with an injury like this and that is worse, so much worse.

When the world goes black around him, Hob doesn't hear the shout from his King, or the explosion of furious magic that follows, nor the soft as satin hands that are touching the area around where the bolt is buried in his skin.

When he wakes, a great deal of time has passed, and even still, Hob is exhausted, and he's already wondering if he has been dismissed to a medical room befitting his station when he forces his eyes open and is surprised to recognize the King's Chambers. A few belated seconds later has him realizing that not only is he in the King's chambers, but he is in the King's bed, and his heart jumps into his throat, because the King, Dream, is sitting beside him in bed, reading by the light of the candle beside the bed.

He shifts, just enough to alert Dream and wide blue eyes dart down to stare at him, and then it is a scramble of hastily whispered words to hold still, and then Dream is holding a cup of water to his lips for him to sip from. Just that is exhausting, but his throat no longer feels on fire, and Dream, beautiful, perfect Dream, is still watching him, afraid.

"You mustn't ever do that again," Dream orders, his voice soft, but shaking. "Never. You were nearly lost to us."

Hob smiles despite himself, because the King's demand is a foolish one. "A worthy sacrifice to keep you safe, my King." He's surprised when Dream's face crumples in return and his hand is taken, cradled oh-so-carefully, and pulled closer. "Dream? Why-"

"You were nearly lost to ME," Dream growls, pressing a desperate kiss to Hob's palm. "I cannot lose you. I cannot." Another desperate kiss to the warm skin against his lips, before he meets his knight's eyes once more.

Hob's breath has caught and he is staring at his King with wide, shocked eyes. He strokes his fingertips down the length of Dream's cheek, before tracing the swell of his lower lip, marveling at the allowance, that Dream has not moved, nor denied him. "Dream."

Dream's breath leaves him in a heaving rush. "Never again would I have you hear me address me as my title. My given name has never sounded right until it fell from your lips, and I would hear it every time you address me henceforth." He pauses, breathing deep. "I have no desire to be a King to you, Hob, not any longer. I wish to be something far more dear, and I will not wait until death has stolen you from my arms to make you mine."

The smile that grows on his face is wide and shocked, happy and stunned all at once. Though there are many more words to be spoken, plans to be made, there is perhaps only one thing that matters in that moment, and Hob takes the excruciating amount of effort required to lift his hand, place it on the back of Dream's neck, to pull him into a kiss.

"That is a command I am happy to obey, my Dream."

Sometimes I'll warm up to Fyodor or maybe even start to like him only to be reminded as to why I don't at the start of every month

Alright, I have to admit I have not kept up at all with the Carnage/Flash side of Venom comic verse these past few years, so - who is Aria? The few issues I've read centered on Flash during these wacky symbiote times did not contain her, and the Marvel comics wiki gives me nothing. But you have me curious.

Hey there, friend! You wanna know who Aria is? Well, that's exactly what I'm here for. You're right, though - I'm not sure she even has a wiki article yet. She doesn't even have a last name! But I'm all for those underappreciated characters, so, let's go.

(All the following panels will be by Gronbekk/Perez from Carnage 2023.)

(Carnage #1)

We first meet Aria as the bartender at the very on-the-nose-named "Pour Decisions" bar. "Wait, isn't Flash an alcoholic?" Well... yeah. But Aria doesn't know that. And As you can see by the narration, it doesn't have the same effect on him that it used to. But, you'll see this is just another demon he has to battle.

Aria is clearly familiar with Flash - he's become a regular by this point. He's also a bit of a loner but he still knows how to put on the charm. But also, Aria understandably shows some concerns about him.

Flash is seeking purpose in his life, but he's not finding it. Aria knows he's well-meaning, but as always, Flash sometimes gets himself into trouble when he tries to help. It's too bad!

Because Flash is the best, he does apologize for his ill-timed heroics, and like, honestly, who can stay mad at him? Not Aria, even with her perfect hair. (I love her hair.)

(Carnage #2)

She also calls him out on looking like a damn mess.

She's SO into him though and it's so cute. I'm gonna cry. She wants to take that boy home and [redacted/saved for fanfic].

Aria unfortunately vanishes for most of the rest of the series, but since we're appreciating women, let's appreciate Liz for a second here too, after she and Flash take down Carnage.

(Carnage #8)

I'm always giggling at this. Flash doesn't get why there are so many damn symbiotes these days, either.

So even though Aria saw Flash initially as a mess (which he was)...

...after nearly dying at Carnage's hand multiple times/almost losing his mom/being trapped in the Darkforce Cube etc etc, he decides he's got to put himself back together. I do like the panel of him fixing one of his prostheses a lot. It's a nice touch we haven't seen the likes of since Space Knight. (Nice job, Gronbekk & Perez!)

I love this scene where she makes him a mocktail. A fruity little drink. And he does love it. Because who wouldn't.

Like, oh my God, even Liz sees it. She's definitely hinting that if Flash doesn't snatch up Aria, she will.

And then my most FAVOURITE Flash/Aria scene... that truly solidifies that maybe possibly there's a chance for them??? MAYBE??

THAT BOY IS GETTING LAAAAAAAAAAAID ahem. Anyways.

I just, I really love this! It's spot-on with the fact that when Flash is really into someone, he's kind of awkward! But he's soooo sincere and Aria is SO into it. He's taking active interest in what she's into! He's pulling himself together! He's living again!

I want Flash/Aria to happen so badly like, you don't even know. I want them to go jogging in crop tops together. I want them watching birds and getting coffee and her giving him That Look fifteen more times. I want him to treat her RIGHT and for this to be his best relationship since Betty.

But mostly, I just want Aria to survive the next goddamn event.

I thought of something worse than fatso‘s wife could’ve been or became. A banshee. Specifically the original interpretation in Gaelic folklore, a female spirit whose appearance or wailing warns a family that one of them will soon die. The more sorrowful note that would probably match the poor girl, is that a banshee may lament a person who had been "gifted with music and song"…. Ouch.

Well based on this, and the additional information you provided on another ask you sent me. This is what I have envisioned based upon it.

Even though she looks like her old self, I wouldn’t doubt that her form gets misshapen and contorted by all the pain she had gone through emotionally and mentally after seeing her true love pass away in her arms. Though she would’ve lived a long life and raise the child she had with Franklin, that woman was likely stuck in time. Always missing Franklin (Fatso).

I’d still be optimistic and say they both have a fun great great (I don’t know how many greats) grandchild. So full of spunk and dresses odd. Not a normal thing they are, but oh so confident and digs the paranormal. Perhaps that child will find a way to bring these two old souls together.

What a concept. Kinda like it.

[trippygalaxy]

Hey trippy!!!

Look it's time from au of mine !!

What do you think ?

H-HELLO SALIOR

HELLO SIR

HI ARE U SINGLE? SIR? *tucks hair behind ear* /j

He looks great aria! Good job <3

[littleplantfreak]

i feel like umemiya would hear about no nut november and take up the challenge just bc “WOW!!! sounds interesting!!!!” but like realistically how quickly do you think he would lose or do you think he’d lose at all?

Aria you sweet peach I'm pondering in a gazebo while it rains so let's go *cracks back*

-Tbh...He's got great self restraint with everything unless it's pertaining to you? So I don't think he'd make it, especially if it's a bet between the two of you and you start to play dirty.

Even if you didn't though, you're just so enticing in every way. How is he suppose to cope, and not show you how much he loves you, and yes he can do that without sex but he's a touchy guy and he'd have to be careful about it otherwise it'll be a month of agonizing edging every day. He starts getting overly sensitive about it and honestly a little wound up.

Trying not to hump into you while you're both cuddling or having to cool himself down with a cold shower after you sit on his lap for too long would be his life now, and he doesn't think it's worth it. A real breaking point is when you're laying on the couch and he's between your legs laying his head on your belly and he goes to press a kiss on it and sees such a needy look on your face when he peeks up that he remembers it's been about 3 weeks since he's eaten you out. He wants to smack himself in the head because what the hell is he even really getting from this? A headache and an unloved girl that's what, so he's gotta rectify it real quick. Actually tries to make up for all the times he could've made you feel good so watch out cause he'll go deep into overstim territory.

So he could last 3 weeks max but less if his partner's actively trying to get him to break his streak.

Who would get frustrated first with the constant supercorp pining and obliviousness: Sam, Andrea or Alex?

Would they spill the beans and be like "just ask her out already!", or would they take a soft approach?

alex would get frustrated first because she's around them both the most, followed pretty quickly by sam. andrea seems like she's not around them both together very often so she would take the longest. alex would be soft about it. she wants them both to be happy, but she also knows how much they've both been through and understands how hard it is for them (even if it does make her want to bash her head against the wall). sam would be the one to snap and be like, "just ask her out already!" probably to lena. i can see lena getting drunk one night and sam just loses it like "oh my GOD lena i can't deal with this. i love you, but you need to say something before i smack you." and i can see andrea just watching it all unfold, honestly. smirk on her face and all.

Oc ask thing !!

1. Rona

30. Sec

17. Arlee

7. Arlee, Sec, Clione

6. Rona, Clione

Oh dang that’s a lot. This is gonna be fun thankyou Voyagr :D

(Genuinely, I was feeling crappy and this ask is just what I needed thankyou so much)

Buckle in, This is a long one.

1. Rona - Do they sleep with a stuffed animal? If they have multiple, who’s the favorite?

Lol of course she does. She rotates between her toys because she doesn’t want anyone left out. Unfortunately her favorite toy is a big orange transformer-esque robot. Not exactly pleasant to sleep cuddle with. She tried still because she felt bad that he got left out but it was just too uncomfy. So to make up for it she makes him his own little bed out of spare pillows and such every night for him to sleep on.

30. Sec - What would they do if they knew it would be forgiven?

Ask Kinito to take her inside the computer and love her. Yes this counts for Adminverse AND Abandonware verse. After all, that forgiveness includes her being able to forgive herself.

17. Arlee - Do they like children?

Yes. Granted, she doesn’t like looking after them. She does not have the patience to deal with them long-term. But she does like playing with them, and they tend to like playing with her because shes so high energy and honestly kinda whacky. She’s happy to act silly for kids to get them to laugh. Very “cool older cousin” energy. Arlee also finds sassy kids, or the ones who bluntly state the things adults won’t, hilarious.

Hurt a kid on her watch and you will end up with a black eye at best.

Really the only reason I have not got her interacting with Rona in Electric Dissonance is it would quickly be me talking to myself on the blog a lot. I can’t let her get attached guys it would derail so much! Watsonian explanation is that shes tunnel visoned on poking the bear and helping out Sam.

7. Arlee, Sec, Clione -Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.

Arlee: Impulsive, Egotistical and Sassy

Arlee, on herself: Funny, Smart and an A**hole

Sec: Compassionate, Self-absorbed, Lonely

Sec, on herself: Self-absorbed, Geeky, Ineffectual

Clione: Insensitive, Insightful and Authentic

Clione, on herself: Introspective, Analytical, Misunderstood

6. Rona, Clione - Who will they take advice from, no matter what it is? Who won’t they take advice from, no matter what it is?

Rona thinks a lot of Miss Evans, her tutor. Because she is an adult who spends a lot of positive time with her and listens to her. She considers Miss Evans to be the smartest person she knows, so takes what she says seriously. To a lesser degree, this applies to Rona’s Aunt Karen. After all, no kid listens to what their parent says 100% of the time XD.

If Rona considers someone a bully, then she has no respect for what they might think. In fact, she thinks they should all listen to her advice! She clearly knows better! She stays polite because both Miss Evans and Aunt Karen gave her a dressing down after she started getting a bit actively nasty towards “bullies “rather than just sticking up for kids when needed. She doesn’t want to become like them, does she?

Clione… doesn’t really trust anyone that much. Not even herself. After all, she knows how easily her own internal bias, feelings and unconscious thoughts can cloud her judgement. And if she is like that and aware of it and still constantly makes mistakes, how much more other people who don’t think about these sorts of things? So there is nobody who she would listen to fully without questioning them ever.

But on the flip side, there is nobody she is 100% dismissive of. Everyone has a unique view and that means everyone has at least one thing they can see that nobody else can. Nobody is 100% wrong or right. Everyone has something they can teach you. And there is something in you that you can teach everyone else.

Granted, Clione will absolutely consider her own opinion first and foremost the majority of the time!

I am also surprised by the lack of post canon travelers fics, but that's probably because they're league of legends players. The only one I really know of is "Ending/Beginning" by PenchantPal, which is a oneshot about Sundancer and also Taylor is there.

If you want good uncomfortable fics, I'd recommend "Don't do Brains!" by Idiom Alpha, and "Soliloquy" by keighthundred.

"Don't do brains" is about Amy doing some deranged stuff, and "Soliloquy" is an au of an au about a Taylor who was part of the Slaughterhouse 9 and her clone who became Khepri.

If you want good Comedy fics, I'd recommend "Loaf" (and it's sequel Case) by Maroon_sweater, and "Santa-Assault and Imp the Elf" by Rukaio Alter.

"Loaf" is about Contessa trying (and failing) to bake bread without her powers. SA+IE is about Aisha and Assault having a very bad day.

If you want good general fics, I'd recommend "The Great Escape" by Colossal Mistake, and "Cogito Era Lung" by The Steve.

"The Great Escape" is about Eidolon trying to captured escape birdcage prisoners, and "Cogito Era Lung" is an actually good Peggy Sue about post canon Taylor having to share brain space with a during canon Lung.

Don't do brains, Loaf (+Case), Santa-Assault and Imp the Elf, and Cogito Era Lung can be found on Spacebattles, while the others can be found on ao3. All of these fics have good characterization, and are thus all favs. Sorry for the tangent, trying to find good Worm fanfiction is my personal Sisyphean curse.

I LOVED ENDING/BEGINNING !!! It's exactly what i would love to read more of!!!! It's one of my favorite wormfics!

I've read Soliloquy before (maybe a year or so ago?) and I really enjoyed it!!

I just read Don't Do Brains because of this ask and it was REALLY GOOD!! delightfully fucked up!! wonderful gore! REALLY REALLY GOOD!! (Note for those who haven't read it-- it's VERY dark and has intense CWs, so please read with caution!)

I read The Great Escape about a year or so ago and I really liked it!

I read Cogito Era Lung based on your recommendation, and I really enjoyed this one as well!!

I'll need to read Loaf and Santa-Assault; I'm not usually one for comedy fics but I'm willing to give it a shot!

[arialerendeair]

hey I'm new to the sandman fandom, I was wondering what the discord scene looks like? I saw your username mentioned wrt a server, so I thought you might know/direct me to someone who knows. is there maybe a carrd or something with idk different server rules, culture, if 18+ only, things like that?

Hey Nonny!

Your best bet is to join a server, check out the rules, see if you vibe with them, and hang in the server and see what it's like. No server requires activity, so it gives you some time to check out and asses the vibes.

The server I'm most active in is the Sadman Server - multishipping encouraged, and active! We've got a server guide with the channel list so you can see what's there and what isn't, you can engage with NSFW content or not, entirely up to you, same with Triggering content, and hang with artists, authors, and creators across the whole server.

We're a fun little pile of chaos, come hang out!
