good morning everyone
there is a cat outside so now i can’t sleep
what are fun, relatively quiet activities to enjoy on this god awful occasion?
#talking to the stars#or i could just lay here#bask in the night#stare at the ceiling#or is that the ceiling? it’s so dark you can’t even tell#you think it is. you hope it is#it’s almost like drowning. this deafing void deprived of light and color and life#you can almost hear the rest of the house. there must be another noise out there somewhere#somewhere somewhere someone else must be up#but all you hear is the faint distant murmer of artificial voice coming from the living room that you just can’t quite decipher#it’s just you. the dark. and what lies within it#but that’s always the horror isn’t it? what lies in the dark?#what if you’re the only thing in it?#what if there’s something out there scared of you? what lies in the night?#you look at what must be the ceiling#and the floorboard creaks

Whumpees who used to be notoriously heavy sleepers, but after their captivity they hardly sleep at all and the smallest sounds jolt them awake.
Caretaker hardly dares to breathe when Whumpee falls asleep around them. They silently threaten anyone within earshot not to make a sound. They protect Whumpee’s rest with a vengeance, because it’s so rare.
#imagine how Caretaker feels when Whumpee trusts them enough to sleep around them#or if Whumpee has worked themself to exhaustion and can’t help falling asleep#and Caretaker has never seen them look so calm#Maybe they accidentally make a noise—a creak in the floorboards as they try to leave the room—and Whumpee jerks awake with a curse#scrubbing the sleep from their eyes and pretending they aren’t bone-tired as they ask ‘What? what is it?’#or pretending they didn’t wake up clearly expecting to be attacked#just—yeah.#whump

i am gonna ramble for a second bc i cannot stop thinking about the gem and scott and their creaking hearts.
creaking hearts are such a cool feature bc in order for them to work, they need the wood. they need the trees and the forest and life. and on return it creates life.
scott has nine of them. gem has one. a veteran and the newcomer. both going after the hearts. the desire and craving for having life and the contentment with what you can have. the safety in people and the danger of a sword. why are there so many parallels with the two of them?
#sheep talks#geminitay#scott smajor#dangthatsalongname#traffic series#wild life#wild life smp#its only the firts session so all of this? can be just a fleeting coincidence#do you think they hear the woods whisper to them?#begging for them to return the hearts?#do you think they bury their hearts under floorboards?#will they ever stop hearing their creaking?#just a thought :-)

Me going to the bathroom late at night: with catlike tread *floorboard creaks* upon our prey we steal *door slams*

It's always interesting seeing our brain splitting an introject or a brainmade based on older media . It's actually not that rare for it to happen , when it happens I'm always like "Hmm, yes, vintage. We went digging for this one I see." , especially when it's older media that not a lot of people remember or think about nowadays .
Who even remembers Mirai Nikki , that anime wasn't even good , I don't understand . Then again I can't even say anything , I like the anime adaptation of Sword Art Online .

Sometimes sleep won't come at the Roundtable Hold, and then Izar slips out of her room and quietly makes her way through the darkened hallways. She carefully avoids all the floorboards that creak; she has memorized their positions like she would with a pattern of stars. (It probably wouldn't bother anyone if she stepped on those boards, though. But she avoids them regardless.) More often than not, there is still light in the study, the figure in the shadows still guarding the doorway. Sometimes, even the distant sound of the forging hammer still carries across the Hold, and she gets the feeling that some people never rest here. Someone also makes sure that there are always lit candles close to the bookshelves. As if accomodating for those who come here in sleepless nights. Izar never takes one of those books to her room, not those she finds in the night. She merely pays them a visit, running her fingertips over the spines until one catches her attention, then sits and reads, surrounded by shadows silence.

This sounds kinda rude to me, idk why, but is it okay to leave for the stressed guy downstairs?
#if you were not here to witness my overreaction last night (by crying for 3 hours and not moving a muscle in case i creaked a floorboard)#the new downstairs guy came up to complain about me specifically dropping things on purpose at 2.30am

the house we’re staying in is HUGE and FULL OF SPOOKY SOUNDS
#and i am so overstimulated that every drip of water or creak of floorboards is making me jump out of my skin#i’m gonna have a snack and drug myself into unconsciousnesses as soon as possible this day has been SO long.#IT IS 1AM. TO ME#izzy.txt

Neighbor is peeing upstairs again...sounds healthy. Glad they're doing well and staying hydrated
#my fervent thanks to them for NEVER getting laid#sometimes i will be walking around and the floorboards will audibly creak#my pictures shake on my wall when they walk around upstairs. just normal walking#why is this place made of cardboard

the way i just finished my thesis, wherein i had to do a fuck ton of painting for two months and now my brain is like "ok.... but what if we did more paintings?" GIRL WE WILL I PROMISE LET ME REST FIRST THOUGH GOOD GOD
#i love big paintings ive decided#i want to do more surrealist stuff though i loooove surrealism#as well as more of my houses paintings/art#one of my ideas for my thesis was 'the betrayal of architecture' and how homes are supposed to protect you#but they arent always! sometimes the creak of a floorboard is a gunshot and sometimes a cracked door is a malicious gaping expanse#can you tell that i had a traumatic childhood. anyways. i would still like to make that series of work because i like houses#also weird colors!

The floorboards creak under my feet and move, the wood of the windowsill clicks under my hands, and outside, next to the pathway, even the broken and crumbling trunk of a lime tree is putting out fat brown buds – in a few weeks it will have silky green leaves, just like the broad-sweeping branches of the plane tree that overshadows it.

What if ghosts are Like That because they’re just like Extra Old People?
Like, they’re so old they’ve forgotten everything except their familiar routines in their familiar places and things like poltergeists are just ghosts trying to do the things they used to be able to do but getting confused or frustrated when they can’t. And the ghostly whispers you hear from them are really just them mumbling to themself because they assume no one can hear them because they’re also hard of hearing?
#ghosts#just a thought#memory loss cw#not to get melancholy#but sometimes my 99 year old Bedstemor exhibits ghostlike behaviors#wispy songs she'll sing to herself as she moves slowly through the house#creaking over every floorboard#warbley mutterings from down the hall#clattering around the kitchen as she tries to do the chores she used to be able to do

Recently, as in two days ago recent, our main host, Ansem, went dormant. Ansem was a ghost in the innerworld, a lot of the way we present our system online, where we are out as a system, is based on having a ghost as a main host, including our system name. We are still weighing our options, if we will change the "themes" of how we present our system to others, or if we're going to keep things as they are in Ansem's honour, especially since them (and the previous host they were fused with) were the first time we had a main host really go dormant instead of just staying inside after a complete host change.
