Reader stealing Goldie to hold in their pocket like this

If you come closer to them, they'll run away while holding the pocket so Goldie doesn't bounce too much.

I love Goldie so much. And trying to mimic the comic style was fun!!

Y’all I’m supposed to be working on homework right now but my mind cannot stop thinking about Unity staying in the Dreaming and befriending all the residents like

Unity having tea with Cain and Abel and Goldie being stoked that he has another lap to sit on

Bonus points if she puts Cain in a good enough mood that he actually doesn’t kill Abel the days she comes over

She explores Fiddler’s Green and Fiddler’s Green becomes Gilbert for a while so they can talk about books together

Nightmares love that Unity isn’t put off by them (I mean this woman called Dream of the Endless a dumbass TO HIS FACE)

Unity brings Lucienne tea in the library and sits and talks with her when she has a break

And if Lucienne hasn’t taken a break that day, Unity makes her take one 

Gault giving Unity updates on how Jed and Rose are doing (because Gault stayed friends with Jed you can fight me on that) and Unity committing these updates and stories to memory

Lucienne knows Unity frequently reads Rose and Jed’s dream books but doesn’t anything about it

Matthew also gives Unity updates on Jed and Rose and also tells her about stuff that went on while she was asleep 

Unity (after talking with Lucienne) figuring out the kind of family she technically married into and deciding she wants to get to know Dream as a person, because he’s technically her brother-in-law and she never really got the chance during the whole vortex debacle

Dream of course resists and avoids at first because the situation that made them technically in-laws was messy (put delicately), but Unity goes “I’m sorry this wasn’t an option pal” and now they have tea together once a week (Dream sulks about it at first but now looks forward to it)

Unity being able to sort out all her feelings when she learns the truth about her golden-eyed man and move on, and the process is scary and painful, but it’s okay because everyone she’s befriended in the Dreaming supports her the entire way

abel: my poor potatoes are being burnt to a crisp, in the oven, because my adorable pet locked themself in the house. please mr. dream help us. oh, i do hope they do not get hurt.

Probably the most interesting member of my family - at least that any of us currently alive are aware of - is my great, great uncle Axel. He was an amazing artist. Someone (I forget who) convinced him to apply for Harvard and he was accepted, but he didn’t know what to study. When the person helping him decide asked him if he spoke any languages besides English, he replied “four or five” and wound up getting a linguistics degree. He was an inventor. He had a few patents. At one point he built an atom smasher in his flat, just to prove he could do it. Then he took it apart and brought in bats to study their sonar. On Sundays he went mushroom picking in Central Park, New York, with his buddies, Albert and Nikola. Only one member of my father’s generation managed to track him down and meet him, and she had to go through the secretary to do it. Apparently there’s some sort of tribute gate or sculpture or something to him outside of his old apartment in New York.

Possibly the best thing about him, though, was the signature he put on his patents. I first saw it during our huge family reunion in ‘97. (No, seriously, we made the papers. There are...kind of a lot of us.) My Dad got a copy and made t-shirts for everyone, with each branch of the family being a different colour, so you could tell how everyone was connected.

It’s a little dragon-type creature.

He wrote everything in kind of bubble letters. His first initials - A.E. - made up the wing. He gave the L of Landerholm feet and drew a little head on it. It looks like it’s either yawning or squawking. It’s perched on a little orb and the rest of the name is, well, a name.

It’s really awesome.

The first time I saw it, I immediately thought it looked kinda like Goldie from The Sandman. Not close enough to scare the lawyers, mind, especially since Uncle Axel is long since dead, but there was a bit of a resemblance. If you tilted your head and squinted a bit.

I’ve used this signature for various, family related projects through the years. I’ve converted it to book plates that I put in the journals I make for my cousins. For Christmas this past year, I decided to offer everyone their own personal blends from Adagio. Uncle Axel’s signature seemed like the most appropriate thing for the tin art, so I’ve been colouring it up however the recipients like.

So far only my next youngest cousin and her husband are the only ones to get me their blending requests. (A few other people are, I know, working on it. Everyone else has been silent. We love each other, but we kinda fail at communication.)  My cousin requested ruby red, for reasons that are obvious if you know her. Her husband requested black, yellow, and green. Since yellow and black don’t mix well, I made the background a green-to-black gradient and did the signature yellow.

The result?

...the resemblance to Goldie has not been lessened!

It is very generous of you to offer, Goldie. But I genuinely do not think the dreamers could handle you. Remember, we are not allowed to harm the dreamers in any meaningful way

Opening up the position of overdue books collector nightmare because I cannot send Gault anymore for obvious reasons. I've given The Corinthian a trial period, but he doesn't watch his fingers and now the unpublished Austen novels have bloody fingerprints. New and Better Mervyn said he'd do it, but unfortunately he's potted and therefore stationary. He's also holding the position of my personal mood lifter and I am quite unwilling to divert his attention from his main job
