The Sandman/WMG: Difference between revisions

 

No longer able to delight thanks to having too much knowledge of the anti-delights (it's very much possible that her [[Sanity Slippage]] occurred at around the same time Adam and Eve ate the forbidden Fruit of Knowledge, and one of them caused the other), she tried to return to her original state of innocence. She partially succeeded by embracing madness as a way to forget or laugh at her unpleasant memories, but not all the way as innocence can't be regained once lost. Hence why Delirium hurts so much when she forces herself to be sane (or stops forcing herself to be insane): that's when all the memories come flooding back.

 

* Conversely, Delight learned all of the good things in all of reality. She then went mad because there were no more delights to the multiverse, just endlessly repeating tropes.
