#a rapture dream

[thepringlesofblood]

ok so like. murderbot is famously anti-food right? but consider. we know secunits have a sense of smell. it mentions liking/not liking plenty of smells across the series (the 'dirty sock' human smell, ART's showers smelling good.)

where i'm going with this is that good food smells good. and i don't think mb has ever been around any good food. like think. academic surveys, mining installations, close-quarters space travel, these are not places or occasions known for their cuisine. its experience of food in an olfactory sense is probably limited to ration packs & corporate cafeteria lunch settings. until relatively recently, it had never even been through the 'human' parts of stations before, where it may have smelled some sort of actual food in passing. it's probably seen plenty of other types of food on media, but never smelled any of it.

so imagine. come with me on a mind journey. mb stopping in on Mensah's actual house for some reason during the day, and one of her spouses or something is baking gingerbread (very much the kind of cookie that fills up the whole house with good smells). like. would it even recognize it as being food necessarily? gingerbread is very much one of those smells that everyone tries to recreate and no one quite can. I imagine it's not thrilled with the concept of ovens in general (humans please stop putting your hands in/near hot things), but imagine it frantically trying to place the smell and mensah being like hey you good? and it being like theres. a smell. something must be wrong somewhere. and mensah being like oh no that's just gingerbread, tano's baking cookies. and it's like that's FOOD???

I had a bunch of chickens and I used them to fly around my chicken farm.

I was flying with my chickens, but then the rapture happened and my chickens ascended to heaven. Unfortunately I was not chosen and fell to my death.

Toby Fox is a little orphan boy on the street playing tunes for money and I go over like “oh this is a nice little melody you have sir here have a tuppence” then he SHREDS AN ELECTRIC GUITAR and suddenly all the money in my bank account is gone and I’m left on my knees on the pavement staring into the soul of God

dreams

last night i had a terrible nightmare.

my mother, my brother and i were all at our childhood home together when the world was suddenly hit with a series of plagues. the ones i remember vividly were... i remember a storm. the worst storm i've ever been in. it was worse than a thunderstorm, and worse than a tornado. the house quaked. i thought it would collapse. and then it quieted.

next came a plague of bugs. flies, maggots, mosquitoes, things that crawled and things that buzzed around. they were everywhere. i held on tight to my dog and my little brother.

when it was over, my mother and i were in agreement that the world was ending, and that these plagues were signs of the end. my little brother - agnostic in real life - refused to believe the apocalypse was at hand. my mother asked him if he would have the number 666 tattooed upon him if it was demanded, and he said yes, because he didn't believe... he'd get the mark of the beast just to prove a point.

at that point, my mother said, "well, let's see then," and at that point, i turned away. i don't remember exactly what happened after that. but the dream was awful.

I think that making your child, who you believe to be lying, put their hand on the bible and swear that they’re not lying with the context of “lying with your hand on the bible is a worse sin than lying in general” is a pretty fucked up thing to do actually

[themanwhowouldbefruit]

im literally so fucking excited for the grocery store you dont even know

[emcant]

TIL that other people's tears taste different than your own, fwiw, writers

[dreamproxyaesthetics]

Frank: That is when the world will end...

Donnie: Why?

Frank: What you are currently experiencing is a tangent reality of your own. Everything may seem normal here, but your true reality is in great danger. If this universe does not collapse properly, all of existence will be erased. That means you, your family, friends, and all life as you know it. Gone.... You have been chosen to be the savior of this world and put a end to this. We will be granting you powers along the way. Follow our instructions closely and stay within Gods channel. The entire universe is depending on you...Donnie Darko.

THATS IT IM DROPPING LORE

ahem

this is my Death and Despair multiverse

in this multiverse, there was a War

think of like god capital G versus pagan gods, called the Codes (Ink, Error, Reaper, Dream, Nightmare)

capital g God wins and basically slaughters all five Codes, but before they die, Reaper creates new vessels for their consciousnesses and magicks to transfer into

He created two, thinking that the combination of their magicks and fighting prowess would be enough to overthrow the new God and bring the multiverse back to what it should be, but something... happened along the way

Ink and Dream were funneled into one vessel, which awoke first.

This vessel had been made with the intention of being the Hero. It had been assured that it would be the one to bring the new God to its knees and regain glory for its lost universe (Dreamtale, which was destroyed) and for the rest of the multiverse.

In its mind it did not need another, especially not one that could match its power

So it destroyed the other vessel, hoping to harness the magicks of the remaining Codes, but they dispersed to find a new vessel.

The Hero, which named itself Requiem, looked upon its counterpart for only a moment longer, then set out into the world that had been chosen for him and his underling counterpart

The other Codes skipped from vessel to vessel, destroying each within moments, until they found a strong enough mage that could handle their magick. The new consciousness of resided within the vessel, unintentionally destroying many lives with its touch and ultimately killing the vessel from the inside out, until it was found by Requiem, who, at first, gave off the outward mask of being the helpful older brother, there to guide his lost counterpart to be like him.

...he was not helpful and he was not kind.

He named his counterpart Rapture and contained him within human vessels, skipping from one to the next whenever Rapture would get too emotional and destroy his body.

Requiem and Rapture are brothers, but of the worst kind. Requiem wants power, he wants to be a god again. Rapture would simply like to live freely.

and yes this is an entire multiverse and yes ink and error and reaper are here (not really) but this is more centric on Dream and Nightmare dynamics

Requiem is not a good person, he is a narcissist and I would say he has a god complex, but it’s not much of a delusion if he’s actually a god.

Rapture is a prisoner to his brother’s will, to his rage. They are unholy destruction to what is meant to be divine creation, but they don’t want to be.

i think i’ll drop their character profiles separately? they’re both p long lmao

anyways i hope y’all like this and i really like infodumping about my AUs and MVs so feel free to ask about them!

Two apocalypses happened simultaneously. One of them was the rapture, that took most of humanity. Another was supposed to be some sort of great final battle, but only about 50 people showed up, because everyone else was raptured. I got bored, left mid-battle, and tried to impress my crush by explaining why everyone is dead. She was not impressed.

My Jem DC crossover where the bands happen to perform in major cities where fucked up shit keeps happening. It’s like a normal episode but you’ll see Superman in the background fighting something or hear Shana make an offhand remark about Robin saving her from a mugging once. Jem alludes that she knows where the batcave is and Pizzazz talks about how she fucks HEAVY with that Lobo guy.

[brain--rott]

just had my 7th dream about the rapture in the span of 3 weeks. I think I need a fucking exorcism or something

My parents are watching the coronation concert (for some reason) and the things I'd give to hear Katy Perry break out into California Girls in front of the king
