The man was such a pimp, he's one of my patron saints.

> Some interesting stuff at play here, especially (to me) the line about how the Parody War was the best time of Dream's life.

Metafiction ahoy. Part of that is me, as an author, acknowledging that the SR 1066 and Parody War arcs pushed me to evolve Dream's character more than I ever had, which means that I kind of owe a debt to those stories. The other part of that is me, as a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, acknowledging that - in spite of the terrible tragedy that necessitated it, and the not-insignificant hardships that I endured during it - my participation in the War Against Terror was remarkably fulfilling and ... well, fun (as fucked up as that probably sounds, there's simply no other word for it). There's something undeniably viscerally appealing about having an enemy who's just plain unquestionably Wrong, and I'll admit it; when we were bombing those Evil Taliban pigfuckers back into the Stone Age, in a way, I was literally having the time of my life.

> Considering that he was leader of the LL for a good chunk of that time, it's rather interesting. He definitely seems to have matured recently as a result of all of his transformations.

As a superhero, he's gone from a kid living his dream to a mouthy iconoclastic instigator to a head-trippy philosopher to a husband and father, without ever fully giving up being any of those things.

> Of course, judging by the ending of the story, some things never quite change...

In one sense, it's quite a big change, but, yeah ...
