#I need to make a timeline but my god I can't find a decent timeline website and I'm too lazy to do all this by hand....

[atherix]

!!!!!!! You finished Flux!!!

I was NOT expecting that ending at all!!!

Very excited to see Grian learn more about being a Watcher from Jimmy and Scott tho :D

(And for Cub to continue to worm his way into the polycule haha)

I did!!! :D

Hehehe, hopefully I took everyone for a loop <3

Yessss I am looking forward to it I. I was working on it last night when I got stuck on the timeline and spent like two hours trying to figure out what the fuck it is. How long did Grian live above Jimmy and Scott's bakery before he just never left Mumbo's house? How long has he lived with Mumbo now? How much time was between Lies and Misunderstandings/Sands, and Sands and Visit... (the answer is probably a few months for the latter which means I have so much time to go back and play with bonding mm). How much time between Visit and Alley? (the answer is less than a year- Tubbo is already 19 in Visit and turns 20 in Alley mmm)

How many days are in a year? Exactly how long are the years? How many months in a year, how many weeks in a month, how many days in a week.... I've been working off the Earth default but. Maybe. I will deep dive into this worldbuilding. However it is not critical to the story to know all this information so I do not think I need to pause lmao-

ANYWAY SORRY ABOUT THE DIVERGENT RAMBLE I have been. Thinking thoughts.

(Cub will worm his way into this Coven and it will be a very good thing soon hhh)

I binge-read we all bleed red until 5 am this morning and I genuinely have not been so captivated by a fic to sacrifice sleep over it in years, so thank you! I'm absolutely enamored by the OC as well as Levi. Their banter is so well-written, and I love the spunk and grit that OC has. I always love a resilient female lead, and given the time period her defiance is even more admirable

So much love and research has been put into writing this fic and I can tell just from reading it. The plot goes crazy too. There are still so many mysteries—how Levi turned into a vampire, where tf Erwin and Miche are, what tf is up with Zachary's obsession to marry into the Clary household despite the fact that they're broke… I find Zachary to be one of the most suspicious people, even though it might also just be a red herring

I also can’t emphasize how obsessed I am with OC and Levi’s relationship. I’m sorry but the progression was insanely written—from them just being mildly fascinated with each other to full-blown I want you and need you but we fucking can’t—HOLY SHIT. I find their dynamic so heart-aching thinking about it in the long run as well. If OC never turns into a vampire, she’ll be not more than half a second in Levi’s timeline :( If I were immortal I’d refuse to get attached to anyone again so I 100% understood Levi’s hesitation to become fond of OC. And ALSO just the way Levi treats OC oh GOD. I didn’t realize how feral I’d go for a bodyguard au but here I am going absolutely feral LOL. One line that BURNS into my mind—when Levi asks “Are you decent?” before walking into the room and helping her with her dress LIKE GOD HE HAS MANNERS THAT’S SEXY. I also didn’t realize how hot the feeding scenes would be… The first time he feeds from her and she sees her reflection in the mirror but not him!! Such an amazing (and hot) detail. I’m TERRIFIED of vampires and blood normally but this fic is single-handedly making me thirst for them too LOL

One thing I’m a little curious about, which you don’t have to answer if it’s not pertinent to the plot, is the main characters’ ages. I know it was mentioned that Zachary’s in his 50s but I imagine Levi might be technically just as old…? Unless he was turned recently; that would change things. There are still moments when OC calls him an old man so I imagine she’s on the younger side (since they also marry off women so young during those times). I’ve been imaging her as someone in her early 20s (I hope I’m not too far off), and I haven’t really dared to imagine an age for Levi bc I could be hundreds of years off

Anyways! Sorry this turned out so long. I can go on and on about every line I adored and every character I would LOVE to meet irl but then you’d be sitting here all day reading so! Thank you for writing this absolute gem of a fic FOR FREE might I add??? And I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!

P.S. I’ve never been so grateful to have taken 4 years of French class LMAO

I can't even begin to tell you what your message has done to me. I feel like I'm on cloud nine so excuse my incoherent answer lmao.

Thank YOU for taking the time and writing such a thoughtful message! Seriously. I'm so glad you've enjoyed the world I've built, that you've discovered new tropes to enjoy, and that you like the characters and their dynamic - especially Levi & the OC. You know, when I started writing this fic, I had no idea if any of it would resonate with anyone, so that it's touched even ONE person makes me just......... so so so happy.

To answer your question, the ages are purposefully vague. Originally, I did have a specific age in mind for Levi, but I know age gaps between immortal creatures & humans aren't everyone's cup of tea, so I scrapped it. With the way the story is going to unfold, Levi could be anywhere between 35 to a 100 years old, but I leave that decision up to the reader. As for the OC, I envisioned her to be between 25 to 29, since she's stated to be older than the average woman that married (24 at the time, sorry that the source is in French) BUT, having said that, I also leave this to reader preference. I hope this somewhat answered your question :D

All this to say - THANK YOU for coming into my inbox and showering me with all these words. I hope you have a superb start of the week, and just know you just injected me with a boost of serotonin that's making me want to write right now <3

[cassyapper]

looks like you wanted noritaro in the ask box

what do you think the timeline of their relationship would be?

Also rememberto brush your teeth

thank you for the teeth i genuinely forgot

as for the timeline it kinda varies depending on what universe. like if it's eyes of heaven or kakyoin lives or ireneverse or so on. but as for my take on their canon relationship:

kakyoin and jotaro become quick easy acquaintances when jotaro gives kakyon's washed uniform and handkerchief back and kakyoin apologizes for the dio thing. jotaro grunts some awkward response about it not being kakyoin's decision so he doesn't need to apologize. kakyoin once again asks why jotaro saves him and jotaro shrugs before painfully spitting out "it wouldn't have felt right to let you die like that." kakyoin decides he wants to study this guy so he moves the conversation to a nicer topic so they can keep talking. they talk about the house and holly and jotaro doesn't say much but it's enough for kakyoin to keep going and he's patient while jotaro finds the words so jotaro decides sure this guy isn't super annoying. he warms up to him

the journey begins, jotaro is very impressed re the gray fly fight cause it was a fight he wouldn't have been able to win without the plane blowing up cause of star's fighting method. jotaro and kakyoin continue opening up together, jotaro getting comfortable enough to joke with him (he teases joseph to kakyoin and gets him to laugh). this pattern of getting continually closer continues. when yellow temperance happens kakyoin is kinda pissed that jotaro mistook this guy for him and jotaro is like "what do you even want from me we just met" kakyoin makes him make up for it by going out again to get coconuts for real. kakyoin asks about the fight and jotaro stiffly relays some details and kakyoin's like "it was sweet of you to ask about polnareff's sister's killer" and jotaro's like "um. uh. huh. it was just the decent thing to do" and kakyoin's like "it was sweet of you. you're always doing things like that huh" and jotaro is like (reevaluating his own perception of himself and the possibility others can really SEE him) huh.

anyway they continue the trend of getting closer. once the uneven footing yellow temperance caused gets worn down to fairground again, kakyoin gets really comfortable. he makes similar-natured jokes in front of jotaro like snarking to polnareff or joseph cause he feels secure. we see them get more and more comfortable with themselves as exemplified by the wheel of fortune banter. they trust one another and they think the other is funny. of course they dont always get along cause as he gets more comfortable around the crusaders kakyoin talks a LOT more and it can be overwhelming to jotaro sometimes but he stops when jotaro signals genuine distress and yeah. anyway

finally the lovers arc. it's when kakyoin really realizes his feelings for jotaro, whatever they are, are reciprocated and he's like ohhh man oh my god. jotaro leans on kakyoin during and after the fight and kakyoin just. can't contain it. the first time they hug is after the fight. things just escalate from there they're really really in sync. they're happy with each other. both can see themselves doing this, whatever this is, for the rest of each other's lives. death 13 stresses kakyoin out of course and jotaro isn't really sure what to do cause yknow he doesn't remember but he and kakyoin share beds more often than not now so he tries to help where he can w kakyoin's sleeplessness and paranoia. kakyoin at some point snaps he doesn't want someone to protect him and jotaro is like I'm not trying to protect you i just. i want to help you. and kakyoin's like oh..right..okay. both r learning how to accept help basically during this arc okay. so kakyoin lets him in

anyway so they continue getting closer both to each other and to egypt. their relationship is very nebulous they dont talk about it really cause 1) their feelings are not really easily definable cause both are somewhere on the aro spectrum and 2) they dont want whatever this is to be stained with the tannins of this trip. they want whatever this is to be tended to gently and carefully they dont want it to be something used to make this crisis easier to manage. they dont want it to be a coping thing they want it to be a reward. so they dont talk about it in order to preserve it for a time when it can be appropriately tended to. but they're feeling it Bad and longing is really starting to kick up. they're exclusively sharing beds and they stare at each other a lot. neither really knows what he wants to do but they just ugh. want to be together

kakyoin gets his eyes slashed jotaro is terrified. he tries telling kakyoin to stay or go home even and kakyoin is like fuck no. i make one mistake and you're back to doubting me? and jotaro is like im not doubting you and kakyoin is like yes you are. you are. why do you not trust me to take care of myself in the final fight with dio and jotaro is like it's not that i dont trust that you can handle yourself it's just that im fucking scared of what might happen while you do that. and they both go quiet. and kakyoin eventually takes jotaro's hand and kisses it before saying im not gonna go anywhere and the double meaning (im not going home and im not going to die) is not lost on jotaro. jotaro clasps kakyon's hand in both of his and kisses it and kakyoin politely ignores the shaking

they meet up again, it's hectic. theyre trying to rely on each other. jotaro's nerves are tested during the d'arby mix-up and how kakyoin's soul is taken. jotaro is even more strained when avdol and iggy die/get taken out of commission if this is an everyone lives au. he doesn't want anyone else to get hurt. he suggests the pincher idea to get as many people out of dio's direct sight as possible but then kakyoin says "oh good idea I'll go with joseph and you go for polanreff, your comfort is what he needs right now" and jotaro is like fuckign what. what. no. no. i need to be in front of dio i need to be in his crosshairs not you. and kakyoin is like underestimating me again?!?!? and jotaro is like oh my fuckign god this isn't even. this is MY fight this isn''t about you kakyoin now let me GO and kakyoin's like oh fuck YOu jotaro as if i dont have anything against dio? as if he didn't steal months of my fuckign life from me? as if this is all about you as if this isn't personal to ME and joseph has to be like oh my god you two shut the fuck up we do not have time for this. jotaro we can take care of ourselves but polanreff needs you right now, he's mourning and reckless and he needs a steady hand. and jotaro is breathing so shakily he can't quite get a proper breath and kakyoin eventually takes his hands and is like please trust us jojo. remember what i said. I'm not going anywhere. and jotaro takes a very deep, bone-shuddering breath then and rests his head on kakyon's shoulder. joseph turns to give them some privacy. jotaro is regaining his breathing and kakyoin murmurs "when we get back...when we get back, i- let's- we ..." and jotaro is like "don't- don't make promises you might not keep" and kakyoin hums before dropping jotaro's hands and hugging him tightly. jotaro returns it. when they split up kakyoin kisses his fingertips and presses them against jotaro's lips and says "let's meet again come morning" and drops his hand and jotaro after getting over his shock is like "i just said not to make a promise you might not be able to keep. you're gonna have to take responsibility kakyoin. you need to keep it" and kakyoin laughs and looks at jotaro over his shades and says "i will. i will"

and then what happens from there depends on the au. but yeah this is about ^ the timeline in my head. also sorry i know you didn't ask for specific moments but i couldn't help but write it out anyway. but yeah i think they get progressively closer throughout the trip with some minor hiccups (yellow temp/death 13) and i think they never have an actual like relationship for various reasons but they love each other and yeah. anyway

[lesbiansforboromir]

What are you hoping for wrt the depiction of Men in Rings of Power? Is there anything you hope they avoid/lean into?

I AM GOING TO ANSWER THIS ASK!! Before the trailer comes out tonight. SO, as of now a lot of my hopes have been someone quashed so I will instead focus on what is still possible.

I would really like to see a more nuanced approach to the reasons men might find resentment for elves and ban them from Numenor. Unfortunately the main good reason for that is lost to timeline nonsense, ie the first war with Sauron that Tar Telperien first rebuffed and then reluctantly allowed, sending 'Ciryatur' to essentially spend mortal lives in defense of elven ones when even dead elves will just respawn in heaven anyway. Elves have asked a great deal from men for millenia whilst the Valar have favoured them and ignored humanity entirely. So why should they be coming to their rescue again? And why are they not allowed to remain in the world that they love, why must they endure the trauma of being separated from all that they love and call it a gift? Death is an understood necessity to us, to the men of middle earth they know it is something that was forced upon them by powers they have never even met, let alone plead their case too. I actually would like it if they DID go off canon and made Ar-Pharazon a semi-decent person, he doesn't need to be a villain for the events to transpire. He could love Miriel and this could all be a genuine rebellion against unjust divine authority.

Another thing I... not necessarily want but that I'm looking for is an acknowledgement of Numenor's colonialism and the viewpoint of indigenous atani tribes watching their forests cut down and their people driven to the coast. Like admittedly I have no idea how this would be done sensitively when Numenor fully wins and Elendil et al fully continue that trend when they get washed up later but leaving it unspoken and ominously hanging over everything is worse I feel. Mmm perhaps not, as I said even I'm not sure how to do this right.

I want to see unique cultural practices in Numenor, I want to see a clear cultural division between the 'Faithful' and the 'Kings men', I want Adunaic conlanged and I want this to be a genuine religious civil war. Like make the faithful genuinely faithful, Gondor has ancient holdover traditions to honour the Valar so Elendil and his family should as well. GOD I want to see political schemes and machinations, I want!! To see Isildur the statesman and I want to see Miriel loving her country and her people and being entirely torn by what to do. I want them to be imaginative with it!! Stop applying to PJ's boring non-imagination, get wild! Make up shit!

I want sooo badly for them to show a bunch of cool ass mechanisms and steam powered stuff and GOD I need to see incredible impossible numenorean ships. I need them to get the Palantirs right too, I need them to SHOW me Palantir usage and the various aspects that make it a complex skill. Babes... I'm gonna need them to tell me how and why they loaded the stone of erech onto that goddamn ship.

Most of all I need NONE of these people to be MODEST. Well not the Numenoreans anyway, they aren't! It is not a numenorean virtue! They should all be proud snobbish bastards no matter the circumstances.

There's more but I'm a bit on edge at the moment so I can't think too hard or I'll explode.

here is a lil bit of fun fashion history i learned today and thought might be interesting to share;

so if u know me or have followed me p much anywhere online for the past few yrs especially u probably know i really do not like wearing a lot of modern style clothes (for the most part at least) and if i'm able to i prefer to get thrifted/pre-owned clothes from a whole bunch of different eras (also because Clothes Are Expensive and even if i did prefer modern styles i cant afford a lot of them normally unless huge sales are going on) but primarily my fav styles tend to be anywhere from like late 50's to mid 70's. i am disabled and have been my whole life and i only started being able to have any kind of income of my own in like late 2020 or early 2021 which means i have had a little bit more independence to find cool old clothes that i can afford and actually enjoy wearing, so thats been a huge positive change for me and my identity and getting to feel more like my Genuine Self by passing along clothes i can't or didn't want to wear now in my mid-20's to make room for fun vintage stuff i actually do want to wear.

lately i've been trying to find vintage nightgowns that are both clean/in good wearable condition and not expensive and a few days ago i happened to stumble onto a listing online for a super pretty light blue nylon nightgown in great pre-owned condition for $10 and was like oh my god thats awesome i need to get that; it came in the mail the other day and here's what it looks like:

(the lace is much more white irl, my house has very yellow tinted lighting and my bedroom walls are like the same color green as my comforter sheet here so it tends to make things look more yellow in pics than they actually are lmao)

its got super stretchy elastic around the bust & waist as u can see there so its pretty versatile with the fit and i am just in love with the general style and shape of it so much, very Edwardian Revival which i have a decent amount of in my closet cus i love old takes on even older fashion styles. so anyways i was folding it to put in my pj/nightgown drawer in my room and happened to notice it still had its' original tag on completely in tact on the inner lining near the bust/arm area and found one of my absolute favorite logos to find on vintage clothes tags:

Ladies Garment Union label!!! (International Ladies Garment Workers Union or ILGWU was a large clothing union group that made a lot of vintage clothes thru most of the 1900's and had a lot of different styled and colored tag logos like this on all their work over the decades), now there was not detailed info on the listing for this nightgown when i got it but the seller listed it as 70's era based on the style i assume, which i would've been fine with regardless of actual decade i just rly love comfy retro styles haha, but i was like yeah i can def see this being a 70's nightgown that checks out from my personal experience, but since i just noticed this label tonight i wanted to see if i could find a historical resource list of the different Union logos online because i have quite a few that look almost exactly like this specific tag and almost all of the other ones with it in my closet are from some time in the 60's.

so i found an awesome list with both info and example pictures of the Union tag logos throughout the decades from a site called sammydvintage and i was able to actually pin down the production date of this nightgown to less than a year of when it was made!!!

i know from my own experience that a lot of the 60's to early 70's era tags didn't have color printed on the logo yet so i was pretty sure it was from that general era and sure enough on the reference site i saw a pic of this same style logo with a timeline of 1964-1973; i was satisfied enough with that knowledge and was like yeah makes sense, this is probably early 70's towards the end of that.

NOPE! i read a little more on the page and it mentioned that the example picture on that site had a small (R) on the left side next to the logo, and that the R indicates the tag was printed after the Union trademarked the logo on April 21, 1964, so if you see a tag with that design but no little R, it was made *before* the logo was trademarked. sure enough, if you look at the pic i took of this gown's tag, there's no little R trademark next to the logo!

which means that, according to this site's information which seems very accurate and in-depth, this dress was made anywhere between June 28, 1963 (when the logo design changed from the previous version) to April 21, 1964. how cool is that!?!? i've never been able to ID such a specific less than a year date for a piece of vintage clothing i own before, and i was like 10 years off with my original guess lol!

it would be much more difficult to pin it down further obviously but knowing that new info, if i had to make an updated guess, i'd say this was probably either a Spring (of '64) or Fall/Autumn (of '63) fashion release since it's long and has sleeves but they aren't full-length sleeves and the nylon material is comfy but pretty thin for winter night-wear (it definitely could be though of course, i wouldn't be surprised if this was originally part of a multi-piece set that may have included a similar looking robe, sheer cape, or 'house coat' layer to wear over it since sleepwear sets like that were a very popular thing in 60's nightgown fashion)

i also thought it was cool in that '63-'64 was around the general era of this Edwardian/Victorian/Medieval Regal revival type trend having its early start which eventually helped popularize the style going into the remainder of the 60's and even further into the 70's with the eventual rise in popularity of brands like Gunne-Sax which has kind of become a cult classic icon of 70's 'cottagecore', 'prairie', 'medieval/regal' revival dresses from that era. that '63-'64 date timeline also makes complete sense in a more widespread pop culture way that i can't un-see now that i know when it was made; the 1965 movie version of The Sound Of Music was one of many popular pieces of media from that time that contributed heavily to the general popularization of this mod regal revival dress style, and if you changed the poofiness of the sleeves and lowered the length of my blue nightgown here, it has SUCH a similar silhouette structure to Liesl's "gazebo" dress from the '16 going on 17' music number from that movie:

(bonus Fun Fact Within A Fun Fact: Mitski drew inspiration from that dress when she was working with the costume designers/creators for her 2022 tour outfits and had them made in 4 different colors all together, i believe. its a very good dress 💜)

anyways!!! i just wanted to share this fun deep dive into vintage fashion i unintentionally went on tonight because i am so excited to have learned so much information from such a random nightgown thrifting find. i have a huge special interest not only in the history of vintage fashion/trends/pop culture but also archiving that history and investigating the origins/influences of seemingly mundane bits of every day life in the past so this was such an awesome and exciting discovery to me! definitely makes me want to take out my other clothes with the various Union tags still on them and see if i can narrow down more detailed years for those pieces too 🥰

[chojuuro]

hi oh my god it’s one in the morning and i literally was just sitting here like “wow i read a really good fic a while ago about shizune dying in the pein attack and thinking of her son. i’m really interested in that OC actually. i should read that again.” AND THEN I LOOK AND IT’S *YOUR* OC???? MY BELOVED MUTUAL DES’S OC???? PLEASE TELL ME MORE ABOUT HIM

DBHDSF HELLO YES T'WAS I

my boy............ im sticking this under a cut bc i love yelling

his name is Naoki! he's the son of shizune and kabuto, a product of a long-standing fling between the two that started right around the time of the Search for Tsunade arc. something something, sexual tension, we can't let our masters know about what we've been doing, risky, could be considered treason, blah blah

he's conceived right around the time of the Three Tails Appearance arc in shippuden! just before probably, when they realize they're in the same general area but don't really know why yet. ANYWAY naoki's born probably a month or two prior to the pein invasion! idc if this doesn't make sense timeline wise bc nothing kishi does makes sense either DFHDBF

he's raised by shizune and tsunade, so he's around the hospital scene his whole life. he doesn't find out about who his father is until he's like 14, and doesn't decide he wants a relationship with him until he's like 16-17. it's a little strained for a while, but they make it work.

side note, in the au that makes up my oc canon, kabuto remains a war criminal who's detained following the fight vs itachi and sasuke. by this point naoki is about a year, a year and a half? somewhere thereabouts. he's in prison a few years subject to regular psychotherapy (bc hi i created ninja therapy in this au, under which i call the Mental Treatments And Behavioral Psychotherapy Unit, or the Psychiatric Unit for short), and during an appointment he allows my boy minoru, a yamanaka, to take a walk around his mind using the Mind Transfer Jutsu, sees what kinda horrors kabuto's been put thru in his life, makes a case with the hokage, kakashi, for temporary release. parole essentially. anyway, kabuto and an anbu guard - my boy minoru, who's also the son of the head of the psychiatric unit and who ends up marrying kabuto later on - leave konoha for a bit under the hokage's sanction provided that they make regular checkins with the village and that kabuto is kept under anbu surveillance 24/7. minoru is anbu, so no worries there.

ANYWAY.

he's a med nin who specializes in poisons and toxic plants & animals. three pet snakes who still need names, lives in chunin housing, and he's a nurse! works at the konoha hospital and helps with pediatrics sometimes. he's generally pretty quiet but he's a lil hot headed, decent bedside manner. main personality traits include tired and bad eyesight (me too)

i have him ending up with another oc of mine, Inuzuka Shiba, the daughter of kiba and my oc hajime. shiba works with her aunt, hana, at the vet clinic and naoki brings his snakes in to her for their regular vet checkups. she annoys him and he just wants a nap but anyway they eventually kiss <3

I HOPE THIS MAKES SESNE HDFB i have a lot of thoughts about this boy and none of them are organized but i have a tag for him here!

UHH

YE THANK U FOR ASKING ABT HIM I HAVE at last count 73 OCS AND AN ENTIRE AU IM TRYINNA FILL

[notsoguiltykpop]

i just had a dream and i can't believe it happened yet, i swear it was so real and detailed and, i mean, i was there but also i was like an omnipresent viewer and everything was so cinematic and oh fuck let me tell you. it is long, so prepare yourself for a motherfucking ride. also feel free to ignore my massive asks if you wanna, it's chill. ok. so it was about that time namjoon ran away from some children because he panicked when he got recognized. (1/?)

the dream pretty much followed how namjoon ran desperately away from a bookstore and one girl and two boys chased after him giggling and screaming, and namjoon was not screaming but having a mental debate like “i should stop. stop and say hi. but that would be so awkward at this point. i’m too late for that. for why did i even start fucking running? lord, i’m so dumb” but the kids gave no fucks whatsoever, they were just happy to play along. (2/?)

but namjoon was starting to feel his muscles ache and was way too convinced he was socially inadequate to speak like a decent civil, so he tried to pull off that old trick when he enters an alley and the chasers don’t notice and go straight past him, and it worked but this town he was in was a very rural one so he ended up colliding spectacularly with someone, very close to the edge of a river, and they rolled but it didn’t hurt because of the grass. (3/?)

he vaguely thought while falling “who tf spends time in a alley for fun?” and guess who was that dumbass? yes, me. because all those fanfiction i consume on daily basis had to pay off somehow. and i was confused, and a bit overwhelmed to have someone on top of me at 3 in the afternoon, so i looked up and, i think in this dream i was a respectable member of society, so the timeline was before i knew bangtan, so i just, awed. (4/?)

i looked at him as if i could see god smiling on his eyes and hear angels giggling on his eyelashes. and y'know this mole he has under his lip? i couldn’t resist the urge to touch it. so i did, kinda expecting it to be fake and to see it fade under my finger but it was real and that made me say “cute”. at this point he was looking at me as if i was a dirty angry dog in front of his apartment door. he looked so scared. but i continued “i never saw someone with a mole under his lips.” (5/?)

Lol! This was such a wild ride to read! I read more of it in your mention (I’m guessing that was you, but I had to stop reading because I had class and now I can’t find it so forgive me if i remember incorrectly!) and even though I know the frog surgery was very serious, I couldn’t help but laugh! It’s so sweet how concerned you were about the poor frog! I need to know how it ends though!! I read up to where you’d just given it water with a leaf and were concerned because you didn’t know how much to feed it because of the surgery?

While on the subject, I had a dream with BTS in it a while ago, and it was soooo trippy like idek where it came from. It left me feeling weird for like a week and I honesty still have no idea what it meant.

I was in the middle of a different dream in a city when suddenly I was in a forest with trees so tall, but the ground was weirdly flat and soft. The forest went on for as far as I could see in any direction, and there were these little firefly-type things floating way up around the top of the trees. It was bright, but I couldn’t find the sun, or any other indicator of what direction I was walking. It was eerie, but in a beautiful sort of way. After walking a bit, I realized I was dreaming and was like “Oh. It’s one of those nights. Cool.” 

So because I knew I was dreaming, I made it so I was barefoot (idk why, I just felt like it) and figured I might as well just sort of chill until I woke up. The forest was so peaceful, and sometime’s I’d hear music that I couldn’t quite place somewhere in the distance. So I walked for a while until I got to a clearing, which was really weird because there were people in it? And I was thinking “I didn’t put that there, wtf” but went to investigate. So I get closer and realize I recognize some of the people standing there as BTS. I’m not sure what they were doing, they were in a circle and had drawn stuff in the dirt?? Idk, it was weird.

I got closer to get a better idea of what they were doing, and Namjoon turned around and gave me the weirdest look and said “Who the hell are you?”

And I was like “Wow, uh, I’ve been watching way too many videos of you, apparently… I’m not sure why you’re here, but I’m gonna get back to enjoying the forest…”

And you know what he said? “Get out of my head!”

So then I thought for a second, trying to figure out what the hell my subconscious brain might be trying to tell me, and finally I said; “Dude. You’re the one in my head, not the other way around. This is getting weird, so you need to leave me alone now.” 

You know when you have a lucid dream how you can just sort of change things at will? That’s what I tried to do–to make him and the others go away so I could go on with my night, except I couldn’t. It just sort of made me dizzy to try.

He was still looking at me like I’d just invaded his personal space and was like “Seriously, how did you get here?” And he started getting sort of mad?

Someone else–I’m not sure who, I thought it was maybe Jungkook?– then was like “How’d she get in without a key, anyway?” So I tried to tell him it was a forest, I didn’t need a key.

Namjoon was talking at the same time, though, saying that this was his dream and that I was being very rude?? And I just started ignoring him and asked what it was they were doing while getting closer–which was a mistake because then Namjoon said “Oh no! You suddenly can’t see anymore!” Really sarcastically, but then I actually couldn’t see. 

So I was like “Cut it out, you’re making this dream way less fun than it should be.” 

And he was like “Oh? Then maybe next time you’ll stay in your own head.”

I tried to walk away but I ended up tripping over something and hurt my knee. Whoever else had spoken–possibly Jungkook or maybe Jimin? They were really muffled, almost subdued–said; “Oh, go easy on her. Clearly there’s been a mistake and she didn’t mean to be here.”

By this point I was getting pretty annoyed because this was supposed to be a fun lucid dream, and said, “Oh, shove it. This is my head, my dream, and you’re no longer welcome here.”

Then I heard Namjoon turn, walk toward me, and say; “For the last time, this isn’t your head and you’re not supposed to be here. Now get. Out.”

And then I woke up. Idk what my brain was doing that night, but it left me feeling really out of place and odd the rest of the day. I also had a dream with only Jungkook in it after that, but I’ve gone on too long already lol! Thank you for sending this and telling me about your dream!!
