Do you got some fanfiction recommendation?

So, i have yet to read all the orginal side stories from Sandman but i like to read some fanfiction. But i do have a trouble. I read fanfictions since teen years and like to seek some myself but i have trouble finding something other than these three types: romance, porn or something sad. I wish find something more..neutral? Like, something like normal adventure i guess, something with interesting concept, more in character to the comic. Some fluff and comedic stuff are also welcome

S2E3 Ok I need to vent

So I Just got to the Nada apology.
Can I just halt the story for a sec here and point out the entire stupidity of this...
I get HE put her in hell, BUT are we forgetting that had he not have taken her into the dreaming then she would
have died with her people and afterwards she condemned herself to an eternity in Hell anyway.

The first city literally got leveled, she blamed both of them for loving each other.
He gave her the choice to stay with him and she rejected him, now we don't know for sure where she would have gone but considering the lore and her personality her guilt over the lost of her people would have sent her to Hell anyway, so wasn't he realistically just putting her exactly where she would have been had he not brought her to the dreaming and saved her life.

10000 years is a lighter sentence than she would have given herself had she been there. So while yes, it was a dick move, he was only returning order to what he'd broken, for her.

Can someone make her BS piety make sense. Yes he should feel regret for his actions but had he not done it she still would have gone through the same shit, she just wouldn't have anyone else to blame.

Sandman-Inspired D&D Homebrew - Looking for Ideas & Feedback

Hey folks! I’m working on a homebrew Warlock patron for a D&D campaign and would love feedback. If D&D homebrew isn’t your thing, feel free to skip, but I figured people here might have great thoughts on Dream/Morpheus thematically.

The patron is The Endless Dream, heavily inspired by Morpheus / Dream from The Sandman. a sovereign of stories, sleep, prophecy, and nightmare logic. Mechanically, it leans into dreamlike unpredictability, fate-tugging, and illusion/psychic themes.

Below is the full subclass. I’ve added notes on intent where relevant.



# Warlock Patron: The Endless Dream

You have forged a pact with a sovereign of stories, sleep, and symbols, an immortal mind that rules a realm where nightmares and wonder take shape. In exchange for power, you serve as Dream’s hand in the waking world: guiding fates, curating fears, and unspooling prophecy.



# Level 3: Dream Spells

You always have the following spells prepared when you reach the listed Warlock level.
(Uses the 2024 “patron spells are always prepared” model.)

Warlock 3:

disguise self
silent image
sleep
dissonant whispers

Warlock 5:

calm emotions
phantasmal force

Warlock 7:

hypnotic pattern
major image

Warlock 9:

dream
modify memory



# Level 3: Wild Dream Surge

Once per turn, immediately after you cast a Warlock spell using a Pact Magic spell slot, you can roll 1d20.
If you roll a 20, roll on the Wild Magic Surge table.

# Level 3: Tides of the Endless

Before you roll a d20 for a D20 Test, you can give yourself Advantage.

Once you do so, you can’t use this feature again until you either:

Cast a Warlock spell using a Pact Magic spell slot, or
Finish a Long Rest

If you cast a Warlock spell using a Pact Magic spell slot before finishing a Long Rest, you automatically roll on the Wild Magic Surge table.

# Level 6: Oneiric Twist

Immediately after another creature you can see rolls a d20 for a D20 Test, you can use your Reaction to roll 1d4 and apply the number rolled as a bonus or penalty (your choice).

Uses equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1), regained on a Long Rest.

# Level 10: Lucid Control

Whenever you roll on the Wild Magic Surge table, you can roll twice and choose either result.

# Level 14: Hurl Through Dreams

Once per turn when you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can force it to make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC.

On a failure:

The target disappears into a nightmare realm
Takes 8d10 psychic damage
Is Incapacitated until the end of your next turn
Returns to its previous space (or nearest unoccupied space)

Once used, you can’t use this feature again until you finish a Long Rest unless you expend a Pact Magic spell slot (no action required) to regain the use.



I’d love any thoughts, suggestions, or Sandman-inspired ideas, especially on themes, symbolism, or things that feel particularly on-point (or off) for Dream/Morpheus. Thanks!

Could you please help me to find the quote of Destruction about the split of the atom?

I’m rereading The Sandman comics and I can’t find the volume where Destruction talks about the horror he feels at the idea of humans splitting the atom. I thought he mentioned it to Dream when they discuss the rise of modern science in Brief Lives, in that flashback at the dawn of the Enlightenment in which they are standing over the corpse of an orangutan. But it’s not there. Could you help me locate it? Thanks!

Why are there so many black actors in the Netflix TV series?

I noticed the show has a lot of Black actors in the cast, and I'm curious about the casting choices. Are plans to include more representation from other racial and ethnic backgrounds as well? I'd love to understand the creative decisions behind the casting... It seems like a TV show feature only black and white actors is not really "diverse" if it doesn't include actors from other backgrounds.

Also: "I hate Lyta Hall more than anything!!!" Ok. Maybe join one of the thousand posts already talking about this instead of making your own. Also maybe take some time to consider the many different powerful characters and forces that were involved in events, instead of pinning literally everything on one traumatized human woman.
