The great regular sleep experiment 2024 part "Snow"

So uh, I had broken my chains right? I had achieved the unattainable sleep, yeah?

Sleep, the delicious.

Well now I get sleepy around 8 get into bed around 9 and sleep from 10-11 ish until 12:30, wake up too hungry to sleep, Sleep maybe another 1.5 hours by 5 am if I am very lucky, and then sleep from 5-8 am when I am not supposed to because I am too tired to get out of bed... >:{

So from now on I try to go to bed earlier and get up at my alarm no matter what, ig...

I did manage to be more productive after having caught up on some sleep debt and the place is looking even emptier than before [I haven't actually discarded much but an object or two, but re-organizing does so much]...

I had a dream someone was asking me where to do a vigilante justice by adding a bench, like, night before last. There was this like 6 lane walking path that split off into 3 2-lane paths and I suggested putting the bench in the center of the middle two paths where there would be most room to walk around them, instead of putting them on any of the 'lanes' because even though there seemed to be 6 right there, they each split off to a different direction or were for walking or biking going different ways, so none of them were really surplus. But I said the bigger problem was snow removal, that by putting a big concrete bench in the center he'd be making it so the area would be hard to plow without hitting the bench, so he should at least do something like mix dark pigment into the concrete so the bench would sort of auto-defrost and not get lost in the snow, and be easy to see and use all winter... He got really angry at me for suggesting he spend extra money on a free project, so I tried to point out that the city would definitely tear it out if it caused any problems and then fine him for these expense, so he'd actually be better off asking to coordinate with the city about it to begin with in this case, if he didn't want to just be wasting money, and I suggested groups he could coordinate with to make a bench happen. As this was just some personal vanity project and not actually about helping people, he got really pissed I was pointing this out in front of people and I ended up running away from him through a school?

And I realize -now that I am trying to think of what that could relate to- that yesterday I ended up -very unexpectedly because I happened to find the right screws- fixing a metal chair I have that I was planning to put outside for people to rest on [anchored so it can't be stolen easily and is clearly meant to stay put]... I -did- make sure it was tucked far enough back to not get in the way of the snow plow... Yw. But maybe I should triple check that and think about repainting the seat in a darker colour??

Last night I had a dream that I was hanging out with a whole gaggle of historical fashion girlies from youtube, some known, some peripheral or invented by the dream, and discussing the longest we'd ever had our hair. I took my hair out but put it up badly because we were *mostly* all drinking [some people don't do that], and Bernadette Banner tried to reassure me it looked fine, without prompting, so I laughed and told her that made me assume it -in fact- did not... We were all laughing a lot. I woke up when one of them touched me because I'm not used to physical contact anymore. It had one of those similar 'prophetic' type vibes to it, but then it also vibed like the dreams I have where I keep seeing a similar looking woman, who I feel like I know... I'm probably just lonely and watch too much youtube, yet again.

I guess we see what that might have been predicting, I already cut my hair this month.

The problem with when I am sleeping is that I am not getting any errands done, is the thing.

New day, new book. I am finally reading Powers Of Darkness - the lost version of Dracula translated from Icelandic. And I am having a great time with it. The introduction was very well done, and I am so intrigued to find out all the differences between this book and the original novel.

in my dream last night they released a bill cipher themed soda called Decipher and I tried to go get some but insane wacky nonsense kept interrupting me before I could. I mean the nonsense had to do with the plot of the rest of the dream but it just kept showing up at the exact moment that I was about to get my soda. Ive just remembered the plot of the rest of the dream was that all of the straw hat piratds were there at tbis theme park we were in and some other group of pirates were trying to bully nico robin. the other pirate group was goth btw. their captain almost died from getting splashed with acid (by nico robin) (it was justified). But I didnt see that happen bc really I was mostly focused on getting my dumb soda.

Yet another woman who came to me in a dream. Her name is Síofra :] she’s a shapeshifter who for hundreds of years has been keeping the myth of changelings alive…. Unlike the folks unfortunate enough to see her true colors.

i'll tell yall about a funny obm dream i had a while ago, all my belphie dreams have been scams so far i want a refund >:v

so i can only assume id just been on an outing with the brothers and it was the end of the day. they were all squished into my itty bitty car to the point where asmo was sitting on my lap while i was driving (it was weird dream logic so he kept alternating between sitting on my lap and sitting on the floor at my feet??) of course lucifer being the insufferable eldest sibling was in the passenger seat beside me, belphie was directly behind me and i believe levi was beside him in the middle? i cant remember what satan mammon and beel were doing lolll they were never particularly relevant in this one but i know they were there

anyway i tell them all we're almost at the train station and ill drop them off there and it should be easy to get home by train, and i hear a chorus of groans behind me so i figure it's not too far out of my way to just to drive them directly home and decide to offer to do so, to which they all cheer except lucifer and...

i hear belphies voice directly behind me suddenly try to get my attention, and i get really excited because belphie is talking to me. i turn around as best as i can to face him "oh whats up belphie?" i ask casually, trying not to seem too excited or anything. im curious though, again it's belphie we're talking about. i have to admit im happy he's talking to me. clearly in this dream au im quietly pining after him so im delighted. he shuffles around a bit, not speaking yet. i think to myself that he looks very cute. i wonder what he's gonna say. is this the development of our dream au relationship? he awkwardly opens his mouth to speak:

"uhh, i think i'd rather walk home honestly..."

my entire world shatters. the one person i wanted to be there suddenly wants to leave? (for some reason ignoring that asmo, who i also love very much, is sitting on my lap) i try not to seem too upset tho and let him leave to walk.

i set up my GPS and play some music, i specifically decide to play anime openings because i know levi will vibe with it. he starts trashing my taste in music

and then i woke up

I had another Good Omens fanfiction dream this morning.

Basically, Crowley was due to give birth. You might ask, Pestilence, what's with you and Crowley being pregnant?.. The answer is, I don't know, and neither does my therapist.

So, Crowley's due to give birth, he's scared and in pain. Beelzebub shows up, along with a few other demons (I guess I'll look through the Key of Solomon, I remember a few have to do with healing). She told him they'll support him. I have a feeling, the dream adhered to my idea that Crowley and Beelzebub are siblings (in spite Beelzebub looking like she does in S2, so Indian).

Crowley had to change to his snake form, because while his human form was male (so he couldn't give birth without surgery, which was too dangerous), his snake form was female. The demons put him in a whelping box (genius idea). Crowley gave birth to either 4 or 6 baby snakes (apparently, they're called snakelets). It was a live birth, which, fun fact, some snakes do give (i think boa constrictors, and snake Crowley kind of looks like one, aside from the colouring). The baby snakes then morphed to human form. I don't think Crowley nearly died, but he lost a lot of blood, and got extremely exhausted. No, it probably wasn't realistic to how snakes actually give birth.

(They were far larger, though)

Oh, and at some point, Aziraphale found out, but someone (possibly Beelzebub) forbade him from coming, because an angel's presence would distress the babies, and they wouldn't take human form. They could also die.

No, I don't think Aziraphale was the "father". The babies were demons, while, according to my headcanons, when an angel procreates with a demon, the baby's an angel, as it's the original form (though, they do retain some demonic features). Maybe, Crowley mated with an actual snake, or something... It would be very Greek and Norse god of him, but what the Heaven, dude... I guess, Beelzebub could act as the litter's she-father, once the two had reconciled. Which, is a word I use for maternal figures who, traditionally, would be considered more paternal. You know, kind of emotionally detached, more provider than carer, often absent, that sort of deal.

This is incoherent, but I only remember fragments. I guess, I will put it down in my notes for the future. I already did. (I'm kind of tempted to write the birth scene, I like writing birth scenes, they're brutal).

Don't you just have a love/hate relationship with when you are already swamped with WIPs, but the Fanfiction Gods send you another vision?..

Also, don't you just hate it when you give birth to a litter of snakelets, with the help of your coworkers, and your estranged sister.

What the Hell do you even name that many damn whelps...

Just woke up from a long dream, but I'm just gonna summarize the ending stuff the best I can.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's night with faint moonlight on... Earth for some reason. Transformers One Megatron is with his goons (decepticons) in this old, abandoned place that kinda looks like a renaissance fair. Someone gives him a metal pair of boots they found. These boots look like they're for a human to wear, but way too big for any human.

Megatron takes them & apparently now has animus magic from the Wings of Fire book series? Okay. He casts a spell by saying to the boots, "Make this whole place out of metal, rebuilding it into my vision of our decepticon base!" He then drops them onto the floor, & they land right side up with a Minecraft anvil sound effect.

The entire place instantly morfs into a large, metallic base of operations. It plays out like a cheesy internet movie or something. Every time the scene changes to show a spot in the place changing to metal, it's a super quick slide transition that doesn't look spectacular or magical at all & with that same Minecraft anvil sound effect playing every time. No music or any other sound effects, no. Just the anvil sound. I thought it was funny. cx

The last thing seen changing is this big field of grass which becomes a grand gladiatorial pit. Oh, Optimus & his autobots are here now? They were already on their way prior to this magical change? They're watching in the stands? Uh, okie dokie.

The decepticons immediately come out & into the pit. They're gonna spar with each other & make the autobots watch, I guess. Clearly, no one knows how to properly run this kinda stuff. No lights besides the faint moonlight, way too many loud noise, & Megatron's shouting confidently without a microphone. Your voice ain't boomin', dude. No one can hear you. XD

Megatron doesn't know that & finishes announcing the fighters... What the frick is Transformers Prime Starscream doing here?! Everyone else looks like their TF One counterpart!... Okay, so TFP Starscream's in a match with a few other cons. Last one standing wins... & TFP Starscream wins. Huh. Oh yeah, where's TF One Starscream? I haven't seen him anywhere.

Optimus & his gang can't believe what they're watching, by the way. Like, in a "this is weird & ridiculous" kinda way... because it is. I wish I could remember how the fight went because I would totally describe the silliness. I'm trying to type as much as I can remember of the dream while it's still fresh in my mind.

Anyways, TFP Starscream looked pretty proud of himself. He stood kinda close & a bit behind TF One Megatron as the leader announced TFP Starscream as the winner & then went on to set up the next fight.

... Then I woke up. :l

Aw, dang. I like this one tho. Such a goofy dream. cx

[aeolianblues]

I'm not an extrovert. At all. In everyday life, I'm a yapper, sure, but I need someone to first assure me I am okay to yap, so I don't start conversations, even when I really want to join in sometimes! It's just the social anxiety acting up. God knows where from and why I lose a lot of my inhibitions when it comes to talking to people about music. I don't know where the confidence has suddenly sprung from. I've made a crazy amount of friends in musical circles, either just talking to people about common music or (since it is after all in music circles) talking to bands about their own music. I let out a sigh of relief any time an interaction goes well, because in truth it's going against my every instinct. I wish I could do that in everyday life

Color edit of a screenshot from one piece

Ok, this is weird and specific and probably self-indulgent, but a few nights ago, i dreamed i was penguin [or maybe just watching from his point of view]. But for some reason, his boilersuit was this denim blue??? Anyways I made this because i needed to get this visual out of my brain because i was going crazy, it would not leave me alone

[Also i have not been able to draw the past few days from being busy. Suffering]

I think it suits him honestly

I had an odd dream where there were diu plushies at Walmart. All of them had a food theme, except Josuke. He was just Josuke. Yukako was a purple and yellow pineapple, Okuyasu was a cyan ice cream cone, Jotaro was a dragon fruit, and Koichi was a sour apple flavored candy. I was rlly debating whether i should get the Okuyasu or Josuke plush. I had the Okuyasu in my hand, but I quickly decided on getting a Josuke plush instead and ran to the shelf to trade my Okuyasu ice cream for the Josuke. While I stood in line at the check out, I panicked slightly. Not over which plushie i should get, but how I would pay. “Shit! Do i have money on me?! Oh fuck the line is getting shorter. I could run to the house real quick and get some? Oh well. I’ll deal with that problem when i get there.” I eventually got to the check out and i actually didn’t pay. There was no issue with it though. The cashier let me walk off with my Josuke plush.

If this was real i would’ve definitely chosen the Okuyasu plush.

Had a dream last night about being stood on by some kind of security officers that wore rubber, skin-tight suits. They were chatting with each other and mocking me while they took turns putting their full weight on me.

I have the image burned in my head and im unwell about it.

I had a dream last night that they put Degenbrecher in league of legends and she was really op 👍

In the dream they added Degenbrecher to league of legends. She was a top laner like Fiora. Her Q was kind of like Fiora’s except it did the effect of her s1, her W was her s2, her e was never specified, but her ult was her s3. In the dream she was extremely overpowered because her numbers were insane. The dream followed the esports scene as people tried to find counters to Degenbrecher (none of the teams or games in the dream banned her, but they were all mocked afterwards for not banning her when she won, which was most games). Nothing any team did worked and they all kept losing for letting the other team pick Degen.

Then eventually one extreme underdog team faced off against a team that was really good in the league nearly undefeated. The underdog team discovered the secret counterplay to Degenbrecher. The coach and owner of the underdog team which apparently made like no money and had no budget for players, had his 8 year old daughter playing support on the team. She was the one who found out that if you pick Myrtle (who was also put into league for some reason) as a support, because of a specific interaction with her skill, essentially made it so Degenbrecher’s ult didn’t do any damage to anyone. (The in dream logic was something bizarre about how Myrtle would like grab her throat and then look away from her while doing her s1 and that for some reason made it so Degenbrecher’s ult would only target Myrtle but was also unable to damage Myrtle as long as she was looking away. Y’know dream logic I guess.)

It was almost like an inspirational sports movie about the dad owner of the underdog team and how even though the odds were stacked against them they would be able to succeed through sheer hope and creativity.

The first game they brought out the counterpick Myrtle it did work to shut Degen down, but it wasn’t enough bc the hot shot superstar team was better at macro. The second game was extremely close but the underdogs lost again. The third game, after an inspiring speech or something, the players played their hearts out. They were doing well and were going to win the game which would’ve given them a huge momentum boost while the superstars would be devastated and play worse in the following games

Then the mid laner for the superstar team, who was very salty that they might lose their win streak, decided to do something. It was suddenly revealed that said player was a cheater, a vampire, had fucked up blood/death magics, and that apparently he was like Edward from twilight or something. Anyway he got really mad and basically used his magic to kill the players on the underdog team to keep his team alive. The owner dad was understandably very upset and so he went to all the other teams to personally teach them to use the Myrtle strategy. And then I woke up

[candinipumpkin]

Okay so this one has a story. A month ago I saw this guy in a dream and immediately woke up thinking ‘This would have done numbers 10 years ago!!!’ As you can see, I decided to draw him anyway even though I’m a decade too late lol. If nothing else it was really good drawing practice since I’m still adjusting to using the Procreate app since I’m sick of Adobe, like, in general. ANYWAY.

(full thought process under the read more because the text is a bit long on mobile)

Ok so full disclosure I’m terrible at picturing things in my head so I used a poseable figurine sitting on top of a spool of thread for reference. I even referenced the shadows from that thing. Point is during the drawing process I was like ‘ok so it definitely looks like he’s sitting on a spool, should I switch this to a stool instead?’ But if I did that then the shadows wouldn’t make sense anymore. So then I tried to change the spool to look more like a pillar.

THEN I drew the wall behind him and was like wait does the pillar being right there make sense? Quickly followed by you know what I’m not redrawing anything I’m too far in. (Again, I didn’t want to redo the shadows that I already referenced.)

SO THEN I was like ‘Okay you know what? He actually IS sitting on top of a spool. One of those giant spools of wire. He just like, spackled over it and painted it to look like a pillar so that he has a portable pillar he can just carry through the woods with him and set up in a photogenic location.’ Which was quickly followed by ‘Oh wait carrying that stupid thing around all time would be massively inconvenient… maybe he wheels it around in a wagon? No a wagon would be silly. He actually modified the spool by installing wheels on the bottom and a retractable handle on top! Like a suitcase! He just wheels his seat around with him and sets up wherever he wants!’

I hope you’ve enjoyed this insight into my creative process.
