Dream makes Hob Prince Consort in the Dreaming, but does not tell Hob because why would he ever communicate anything. It’s just ceremonial anyway. Right? Right.
Anyway Hob lives in blissful ignorance for several years. Sure all the Dreaming denizens are super nice to him but that’s just how dreams are, right? It’s cool. Nothing weird here.
Then Dream goes missing. Hob’s freaking the fuck out – the last time Dream went missing was fucking Not Good after all – and as if that wasn’t bad enough, Lucienne comes up to him and is like, so… Lord Morpheus left you in charge of the Dreaming in his absence.
Hob: this better be a fucking joke
Lucienne: no, you’re prince consort so according to the royal scriptures of the Dreaming you’re in charge.
Hob: hang on I’m WHAT so I’m WHAT
Hob: was Dream AWARE of this when he made me consort
Lucienne: *derisive look*
Hob: but I’m just a GUY I can’t run a dream realm *shakes fist at absent Dream* my beloved asshole you can’t just drop this shit on me oh my GOD
Lucienne: well someone’s gotta do it. To be honest I’m still tired from last time.
Hob: well. Uh. *shrugs* guess I’m running the Dreaming now?
—-
A year later Dream returns. Hob’s been looking for him the whole time but it was kind of fucking difficult when he also had to run a whole REALM.
Turns out Dream was fine he just went on like, a jaunt to another galaxy for dream inspiration and forgot about time dilation in space travel. No big deal. Anyway.
Dream gets back and he’s like oops hope Hob hasn’t struggled too much, that was only supposed to be three days… lol…
So turns out Hob is not very good at being a King in the way Dream is but he IS very good at just bringing major Dad Energy to all the little dreams and nightmares, just being like the Cool University Professor of the entire Dreaming. So Dream gets back and Hob has managed to befriend EVERYONE in the Dreaming. He’s hosting “family dinner” at the palace? He’s doing Forums where people can bring their complaints? He instituted set work hours to create work life balance?
Dream is like What In The Democracy Is This. What have you done to my realm.
Hob’s like We’re Vibing! :) Come on we’re having a blast!
And drags Dream to a fucking party going on at the palace? There are drinks? They’re doing karaoke? Is Dream having a stroke?
It’s all so foreign that he almost calls down a tornado and just obliterates the palace. But Hob pulls him close and makes him dance to the music, and leans in and says, “You know it doesn’t have to be all fire and brimstone and seriousness all the time. It’s okay to show them you love them.”
And Dream is like “I DO love them they’re my creations.”
And Hob is like, “I know but it’s also okay for them to SEE it.”
Dream looks around at the ridiculous party. True to Hob’s words, the dreams and nightmares look more relaxed and happier than they’ve been in a while– at least, when Dream’s been around. He wonders what else he doesn’t get to see. What they’re afraid to show him.
He says, “I went to the Andromeda galaxy for new dream inspiration, but perhaps I should have been looking in you, Hob Gadling.”
Hob’s like “aw that’s sweet– hang on you went to the WHERE???”
Dream just chuckles and doesn’t elaborate, and Hob gives up and pulls him close again, holds him and dances them to the beat of the swing music one of the Music Dreams has just put on. Dream says, “I see that while your leadership skills are… unconventional… I made the right choice in leaving you in charge of the Dreaming.”
“Yeah, about that, next time you’re gonna spontaneously make me Prime Minister of some place can you let me know in ADVANCE??”
“Well, you wanted fun. Where would the fun be in that?”

Everyone- eat the rich! everyone on the Titan was a self entitled rich person (except that poor kid rip)! They shouldn’t have exploited the victims of the Titanic!
News sources everywhere-

Why do I keep seeing James Cameron all over my news (I know these are both Insider, but I have been seeing James Cameron in the news for days from several different outlets, I’m just lazy) Listen, I know he did the time and made the movie but how is he any different? Rich white guy? Profited off of the exploitation of the tragedy of the Titanic? Self entitled expert? Bleh I’m over seeing his crusty wannabe Saruman face all over my phone. Go back to the Avatar movies and think about what you’ve done.

Image descriptions- two news articles, one titled “James Cameron estimates he’s spent more time with the Titanic than the ship’s actual captain after 33 voyages to the wreckage” and “The Titan sub was likely trying to surface and the passengers probably knew the hull was starting to crack before it imploded, James Cameron says.”
A news article titled James Cameron on Titanic Submarine Loss: “Struck by the Similarity of the Titanic Disaster Itself” and a lovely hands rubbing meme with the text “James Cameron eyeballing the opportunity he never thought would come: Titanic 2”
…I’m writing this under the assumption that you don’t know any better, because hoo boy is this a bad take
James Cameron legitimately numbers among the small handful of people most qualified to talk about the Titan disaster. The reason why is because being a filmmaker is almost a side project compared to his very real contributions to submersible design, oceanography, and undersea exploration. Cameron has spent decades in the field of undersea science and submarine engineering. He co-designed a submersible called Deepsea Challenger which he personally took to the Challenger Deep, the lowest point of the Marianas Trench and the lowest point on Earth, alone; the first and to date only person to have ever done so solo. His hyperfixation is not the Titanic, it’s submersible engineering and undersea exploration in general.
Here’s him being presented the Nierenberg Prize (for contributions to oceanography) in 2013:
Note that in the above interview he literally says that he made Titanic essentially just to get the funding to go to the wreck site (and to have the funding to continue to do so decades onward). He’s made 33 dives to the wreck of the Titanic.
The reason why he appears in the news is not because he wants to talk about the disaster. It’s got little to nothing to do with him having made Titanic (though that is tangentially related). It’s because everyone knows that he is an actual, legitimate expert on the issue of submersible engineering (as well as both diving and diving to the Titanic wreck in particular), and so they bombarded him with interview requests and requests for comment. He specifically did not respond to any such requests until after the deaths of the passengers had been confirmed, because he knew that the sub had imploded and they were all dead, and he didn’t want to be insensitive and drown everyone’s hopes by telling everyone that the search and rescue was pointless. Here’s him on ABC News next to his friend and associate Dr. Bob Ballad, the man who discovered the wreck of the Titanic, who is probably the only other person more qualified than Cameron to talk about the recent disaster:
TL;DR: James Cameron is not being interviewed because “he made Titanic”; he’s being interviewed because he’s a well-known and verifiable submersible engineering and undersea expert.

why are star wars planets more boring than earth and our solar system like sure we’ve seen desert, snow, diff types of forest, beach, lava, rain, but like…
rainbow mountains (peru)
red soil (canada/PEI)
rings (saturn’s if they were on earth)
bioluminescent waves
northern lights (canada)
salt flats (bolivia, where they filmed crait but did NOTHING COOL WITH IT except red dust?? like??? come ON)
and cool fauna like the touch me not or like, you know, the venus flytrap.. and don’t get me started on BUGS like… we have bugs cooler than sw aliens
BASICALLY like???? come on star wars you had one (1) job where are the cool alien species
I KNOW!! I did a report on filming locations in Star Wars last year and just made a list of places that looked so surreal they could make a convincing other planet. You covered some on my list but if I could just add a couple more:

Tsingy di Bemaraha, Madagascar

Zhangye Danxia, China (similar to the Rainbow Mountains in terms of appearance)

Chocolate Hills, Philippines

Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland
So many missed opportunities with cool ass things on Earth, Lucasfilms smh…
Earth is effing amazing!
Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina
Lake Retba, Senegal
Tepui, Venezuela
Tianzi Mountains, China
these would make amazing Star Wars planets OR fantasy material:
Tsingy du Bemaraha, Madagascar again (but a different part)
(those are razor-sharp, if you were wondering. very little of this area has been explored because YIKES)
Lake Natron, Tanzania
(looks cool, but is alkaline enough to Kill Your Shit)
Lake Baikal, Russia
(the deepest lake in the world, seriously)
and I’ll wrap it up with Son Doong Cave, Vietnam, the largest cave in the entire world.
it puts anything Dagobah has to offer to absolute shame:
(seriously, the largest chamber is 660 feet high. you could jam a fucking skyscraper in there and still lose it)
anyway I really like caves thanks for coming to my ted talk
If I’m ever gonna make a movie with cool weird alien features I’m first gonna ask the internet for weird, wonderful places on earth to look at for inspiration.
I’d like to contribute!

Namib-Naukluft Park in Namibia

Cave of Crystals, Mexico

Socotra Island, Yemen

Crooked Forest, Poland (look at their funky little trunks they look like they’re doing the Michael Jackson lean)

I believe that if Harley Quinn was on roller skates and Batman had to apprehend her, he would simply level the playing field and chase her on skates too. I trust him to be a man of equality in this regard
Not only would he chase her on skates, he would press a button on his utility belt and his boots would transform into a pair of roller skates. This would be played completley straight, and never mentioned again.
Robin would just have Heelys
I’m delighted to tell you that you’re 100% right and it’s canon to this movie

this is literally the funniest plot twist in any form of media ever
No but get this dude’s entire’s backstory. When he went to church it was blown up. He was impaled by a crucifix and onlt survived 2 days because he drank the blood of his dead family for 2 days until he was rescued. They called him vamp but not because all of that. Because he was bisexual
ALT
Also this is what “he’s named Vamp because he’s bisexual” looks like
Did I mention that hole in his forehead is a gunshot wound which he survived because he’s essentially immortal, and he can walk up sheer vertical faces?
Right, because of his bisexuality
