There are some nights when sleep plays coy, aloof and disdainful. And all the wiles that I employ to win its service to my side are useless as wounded pride, and much more painful.

Is he a reflection of you, are you him but aware? Aware of what?

Toms a good name, I'm a little biased considering my name is Tommy, but it's totally silly. :3

What's your thoughts on Alex Kralie? Y'know, since you follow him, and all of his fans are trying to get to know you.

have you ever looked in a mirror and wondered if that was all there was to it, or if there was something more? you try to catch your reflection moving. a subtle twitch. anything. but you see nothing.

and then you see it all. you look into your reflection and suddenly you don't recognize them but you KNOW it is YOU. they just don't look like you. their hair, their clothes, its just that much different....

and then it's all gone as soon as you had seen it. you are you again.

but who are you, really? are you really you? or are you just a reflection? and if you're the same, but different... what do you think you are capable of?

and if you found out that you're just a reflection of someone else, what would you do with that information?

nicknames and titles? like what? :0

before i lived alone i was referred to as 'heir' or 'dead heir'.

i... had a bit of a rough time growing up. its a long story and one i'm not sure is safe to tell.

how about poet, or muse? they both can fit you i think. its kinda a name its kinda a title.

poet or muse? reminds me of alan wake.

i don't go by any particular pronoun, but i could always go by the name tom. who says it has to be a male name?

How are you today ? I uhh. I don't know what you want people to refer to you as. Do you have a name?

i went to the beach today but i merely walked along the boardwalk. there were too many people. though that part was nice. sometimes i feel like i can try blending in with a crowd.

as for my name, well, why don't you come up with a name for me? i never really called myself by a proper name before, just nicknames and titles.

[deadelsewhere]

there you were. so close and yet so far. if i reached out i would have touched your arm. but you would have seen.

step by step, watch the walls close in your days are few.

do you have a favorite poet?

edgar allen poe, maya angelou, oscar wilde, emily dickinson. if thomas zane counts, i like those poems, too.

here is a great dickinson poem that you probably know:

Because I could not stop for Death – He kindly stopped for me – The Carriage held but just Ourselves – And Immortality.

We slowly drove – He knew no haste And I had put away My labor and my leisure too, For His Civility ���

We passed the School, where Children strove At Recess – in the Ring – We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain – We passed the Setting Sun –

Or rather – He passed Us – The Dews drew quivering and Chill – For only Gossamer, my Gown – My Tippet – only Tulle –

We paused before a House that seemed A Swelling of the Ground – The Roof was scarcely visible – The Cornice – in the Ground –

Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet Feels shorter than the Day I first surmised the Horses' Heads Were toward Eternity –

You mention houses a lot and bold them to different colors, is there a reason? Do you not like yours? Are you afraid of it? Do you not have one and it's all to symbolize want?

houses are supposed to be safe havens, a refuge from the storm, a symbol that stands above the flood. a house is where you go to be safe. when a minotaur threatens a house from within, it diminishes the sanctity of the place, because then where is safe?

i suppose a house can be your mind and a house can be a physical thing that you live in. in that way, a minotaur would be your inner demons that directly oppose the sanctity of your mind.

i myself don't have a house, a place where i can feel safe, as such i guess i do wish for one. a safe haven from whatever i'm looking for or running from on any given day. maybe i'm a little afraid of it. maybe i don't like it. maybe all three? after all, a physical house could also be a death trap in the right circumstances.

maybe i have also read house of leaves way too much? :P

rooms and houses aren't the only things that can be haunted.  the mind, too, has passageways that are much bigger and more mysterious than any physical place.

it would, in fact, be much safer to meet an actual ghost in the middle of the night than it would be to confront the colder ghosts that exist within you.

it'd also be much safer to run through an old church while stones are being hurled at you than to run into the dark parts of yourself alone and unprepared.

the parts of ourselves that exist hidden behind our external, conscious selves should be the most frightening things of all.

sometimes when you dress your best you feel your best. and its good to get out of the house.

lost on the shore between the forest and the ocean the owl and the deer reflected in motion

for he did not know that beyond the lake he called home lies a deeper darker ocean green where waves are both wilder and more serene to its ports ive been to its ports ive been

I do!! I like uhh Slay the Princess, Minecraft, Roblox, someeeee UHM some others!! Endroll and Your Turn To Die are all pretty good :)

i have played end roll and also farethere city. those are both really good. i also liked omori and off, as well as some lesser known games like middens and gingiva. hylics and hylics 2 are also very good, i liked those.

then there's games like we happy few. it's not too good for game play but i thoroughly enjoyed the story. i wish i could dress like the characters in we happy few.

i like alan wake, along with the american nightmare but i have not played the new one. (X︹X)

i do like games with a lot of atmosphere. buckshot roulette has a lot of atmosphere but its a very simple game.

i want to play more minecraft. maybe it'll help with stabilization.
