➜ Snooze-scripts #1

TWs: subconscious self-harm (?)

The last time I have experienced sleep walking was about 5 years ago, when I've gotten up from the couch I was sleeping on at the time, and I started heading outside the house.

Now, the house I was staying in used to have an ante-room that had a door, thus you would have had to open two doors if you wanted to go outside.

When you tried to open the door and pushed down the ante-room's doorknob though, it always gave a very loud noise, similar to if you'd have just kicked that door semi-hard.

So when I was opening that door I've woken up.

I was confused. Because I literally just went to sleep, and now I'm standing with the doorknob in my hand, slowly opening the door to the ante-room.

I just closed it and went back to sleep.

My brother, who I was sharing a room with at the time, by the way, just watched it all play out, and the next day even told me I was talking to our dog while going to...wherever, really.

So yeah, whatever, years pass, and I'm getting used to hearing these stories.

"Haha, you were talking in your sleep"

"Hey, you were shouting in your sleep. Cursing, too, lol"

"You were playing with the dorm room's curtains, haha"

"You snore really loud. You should get that checked out or idk..."

"You were shouting again"

And it was funny for a while, but now I have conflicting feelings.

And no, they hadn't started immediately after I started realizing that I punch in real life, instead of my dream. I'd usually just punch my wall, or preferably nothing – if I wasn't turned towards the wall – or sometimes my head like one time, but obviously that one punch wakes me up so. No biggie.

But one time I punched my cat off my bed (too light for it to hurt her, thank god her chubbs and my conveniently light dream that night), and that's when it started cracking, but it still just started.

But nowadays I've been sleeping really bad.

And some days ago my brother and I were talking, and we wandered off to the topic of dreams and nightmares, and I started telling him this.

That I punch irl instead of my sleep.

(Mind you, I'm sharing a room with my brother again, out of necessity.)

So he told me that some days ago when he came home at night and I was already asleep, when he stepped into our room I – and this is where he demonstrated my WWE-tier moves (/j), which I did not ask for but will never forget, thank you – started violently hitting my face with my fists then woke up and just went back to sleep.

NOW WAIT! [Imagine that one spongebob meme here]

How I remember the incident (!) is the following:

I sleep, hooonk mimimi, I dream that my father is being an asshole again and I want to punch him, I wake up to the sound of the door being opened

*BAM* ouch

Damn, that hurt a bit. Anyway, sometimes 's just happens. I'm tired. Sleeping part two.

So yes. I thought I just. Y'know. Wacked myself one time. Not trying to fucking lobotomise myself.

I hate it though.

Not like I liked it before!!!

But seeing an irl demonstration, just makes me want to live in a cave alone forever so people would never have the inconvenience of experiencing ME ever again.

That was a bit dark, but truthful, too.

Maybe the worst part is that no one is able to tell when someone is about to have a bad dream. It makes me never want to sleep again... Which is awful, because I used to love sleeping.

I haven't really experienced this with good dreams nowadays. But either way, I don't want to experience this at all.

...

Statement ends.

...haha, get it? Tma reference... Sigh.

Ah, yes, my favourite coping mechanism, joking and not taking myself seriously, haha.

Sometimes writing speaks. Sometimes writing unspeaks. Sometimes writing comes from truth. Sometimes writing comes from a symbolism of the nuanced truth. I do not care what you believe. I literally do not know that there is an audience. It feels like a very deep cold loneliness.

Rooney doesn't channel Sally Rooney. Good for her. She's awesome. What publishing needs is a few quick kicks by Irish writers.

Within the context of the relationships Rooney she writes about, what I am hearing is that as a person -- she's still a writer person -- who is a person, she's decidedly not too procedural. She is, indeed, focused on her characters. I admire her tremendously. Here's why.

Great writers never Gatekeep.

They do not become editors, publishers, teachers, and agents. Writers say no. Authenticity is an LA dive bar at four in the morning and it's dark inside because we have a darkness trapped internally in all our second selves.

Rooney seems mystified about readers. They're shadows. Editors are shadows. Agents are in a cattle call. I see no valid reason they exist.

Rooney gets tended to. She sells.

You swim with sharks or go home. By the time an editor is done, I have no idea what the thing is anymore. Editors have changed my endings for pablum. I say nothing. Paul lynch in Prophet Song hands the phone up on punctuation. I bow before him.

Rooney is true to herself. Yes! Characters and relationships and power are all she needs. If you build it, they will come.

'The Watchers' Movie and 4K Review

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. “The Watchers” is the feature film debut of Ishana Night Shyamalan, daughter of M. Night Shyamalan. M. Night Shyamalan is one of the most polarizing directors of the past twenty-five years.  He caught lightning in a bottle early on in his career, and for the most part, he hasn’t been able to recapture that magic…
