Timelapse : The Sandman redraw

[yeoldecryptid]

Okay, so I envy Lucien(ne.) that’s nothing unusual. We all want to tussle through that library like it’s the jungles of the Amazon. But here’s the thing. They have never had to weed a day in their life. If you’re a librarian, you know what kind of Heaven that would be. Just give libraries an unlimited supply of Mervyn’s magic wallpaper and we’ll be happy ducks.

Domestic (Comic) Morpheus with Ophelia

 Author note: Inspired by the ending scene of beetlejuice :) also This fanfic with Comic Morpheus and Ophelia that falls in “Morpheus x teen! Reader” category where in those fanfics the reader is treated like his friend or Daughter/son

It was just another day for little dear Ophelia returning to 2nd home. After a long day of school, she was finally able to come to the dreaming realm. 

The teenager skips and walks on the lands as she saw many familiar creatures from her dreams long before. 

It wasn’t until the girl reached the gates did, she entered the castle of King Morpheus. 

“I’m home!” she exclaimed as Mervyn and Lucien greet her and soon, Lord Morpheus. 

“Welcome, Ophelia...did you get the books?” he said with his rare small smile, “yes, and I took pictures of the museums for you,” she says while smiling brightly. 

Ophelia gave the books and pictures to Morpheus; He and Lucien were relieved but now wanted to talk about how her day was. 

“So, how did you do on the science test?” Lucien asks the girl. 

“It was gross, they wanted me to dissect a frog.” she continues as she turns to Lucien. 

“I told them no way, it was against my religion, so I got a C,” she said smiling at Lucien as he rolled his eyes playfully. 

“And how about the math test?” Lucien asks looking into her eyes. 

Ophelia looks down at her shoes and Morpheus looks at her shocked and concerned. 

“You’re joking. We spent the whole weekend studying for that!” Morpheus exclaimed as he looks at Ophelia in the eyes with seriousness. 

Ophelia smiles and looks up, “ I got an A!” She says as Lucien smiles at her warmly. 

Ophelia then looks at Morpheus with hopeful eyes, “So can I?” she says, wanting to play with the dreams. 

“I don’t know...You did get a C on the science test.” Morpheus says teasingly and Lucien looks at his Lord. 

“My Lord, don’t tease the girl. “ he continues as he walks next to Morpheus. 

“Remember that time, you weren’t well in science-” Lucien was cut off by Morpheus covering his mouth. 

Morpheus slowly let’s go, eyeing Lucien as his librarian smiles and Ophelia giggles. 

“Come on...” she says pleading with a smile, as Morpheus sighs “Well...I suppose”.

Morpheus uses his powers to bring out little dreams for Ophelia to play with or pet depending on the form they chose. 

Ophelia giggles as she feels fluffy animals nuzzling her. Lucien smiles knowing Morpheus really has a soft spot for the mortal girl. 

“So, you must really like miss Miranda?” Lucien says as Morpheus snaps out of his daze as he was unknowingly smiling. 

“....I suppose I may be fond of her.” He says trying to keep his composure and his pride even though Lucien can see right through his coldness. 

His body language is actually very happy to be with Ophelia and to see her smile. 

Lucien chuckles, “Well after she done playing around with the dreams, I’m sure she would love to have some dinner with us.” Lucien suggests as Morpheus looks at him. 

The King couldn’t help but think of the idea of being a domestic enviroment with Ophelia in it. 

Ophelia was his friend and maybe even close enough to a daughter, He couldn’t contain his smile as he closes his eyes. 

“Very well, I suppose that would be nice. To see what she has been up to and catch up.” Morpheus said as he returns to the throne room with the books.

A theory about Merv

I have a theory about Mervyn Pumpkinhead.  I’d say it’s a headcanon but it’s more a theory. 

  According to the tale of Stingy Jack (the origin of the jack-o-Lantern) we carve Jack-o-lanterns to drive away old Jack and other wandering ghosts.  The Jack-o-lantern is a protection ward against supernatural threats from entering your home. One superstition has it that if you blow out the Jack-o-lantern before midnight on Halloween you invite evil spirits to enter your home for the entire year.  It’s only safe to blow it out after midnight. Another superstition is if you let the Jack-o-lantern burn out naturally you invite good luck for the entire year and have warded your home against evil for the full year.  It is especially good luck if it manages to burn until after sunrise. In The House with a clock in its walls Pumpkin Jack-o-lanterns are used as protection wards all year long. Jack-o-lanterns, at their heart, are symbols of protection.  Now, because we see Mervyn as a Mervyn Turniphead in The Sandman story The Tempest, it’s very clear that his Jack-o-lantern head isn’t just for the aesthetic. In his Turnip form, that is an old school Irish Jack-o-lantern.  That is a pre-Halloween decoration (use for any time of year) Protection symbol against supernatural threats.

So even in present day when Mervyn has a modern Pumpkin Jack-o-lantern head, Mervyn is a walking, talking, protection ward against supernatural threats.  He’s not just the groundskeeper or janitor.  He’s a line of defense.   This does explain why Mervyn stands up to The Furies (The Kindly Ones) the way he does.

And this is also one of the many reasons I, myself, love Jack-o-lanterns.  They aren’t just symbols of Halloween. They are kind of comforting in their protective light.
