Mini Playlist From Your Beloved 🎶
This is a mini playlist straight from your beloved! Open up a see what’s inside. While focused on love there’s a little something for everyone.
These messages are meant to sweeten your day and be a teaspoon of fun! You will always know yourself and your situation the best, therefore everything written here is just to give you a little nudge!
💖 Teaspoon
Pile 1 ✨
You 🔮
Four of Cups - “Wanting anything except the nice thing you have”
Oracle Message
Now is the time to be straightforward with your desires. What is that you want? You desire? This applies to love and romance but to other aspects of your life. You may be a “go with the flow” type of person and mainly wish for things rather than ask. It seems like someone is waiting on you to address the elephant in the room? Will you? Conversations are always scary but this one at least could lead to a path that you could only ever dream. Open yourself up and be seen.
Them 💫
The Hermit - “Beware of self-inflicted loneliness: reach out”
Oracle Message -
They are in waiting/hiding. Hoping for someone to connect with or pull them away, a dreamer and someone who wears their heart on their sleeve. They’ve been vulnerable and fear what the consequences have done. There’s an energy of being left out in the cold, a grand gesture or a heartfelt one has been made and they are waiting. They see two paths ahead and hope you can join them for one.
Mini Playlist #1🎶
Perfume Genius - On The Floor
“Out the door
I pace, I run my mouth
I pray to change
I cross out his name on the page”
Remi Wolf- Wave
“You said you miss me but I swear I miss you more
My baby's gonna buy me a big boat for my birthday (My baby's gonna buy me)
But all I really wish that he would do is keep me company
(Keep me company)
Oh, God, I forgot, long distance, what a bitch
Listening to Timberlake without you, it doesn't scratch the same itch
My baby's gonna buy me a big boat for my birthday (My baby's gonna buy me)
But all I really wish he that would do is keep me company”
Caroline Polacheck - Doors
“You open the door
To another door, to another door
To another door, to another door
And I'm running through to you”
“Back in the city
I'm just another girl in a sweater
Back in the city
Everything's different when we're not together”
Kendrick Lamar ft. SZA - Luther
“I can't lie
I trust you, I love you, I won't waste your time
I turn it off just so I can turn you on
I'ma make you say it loud
I'm not even trippin', I won't stress you out
I might even settle down for you, I'ma show you I'm a pro
I'ma take my time and turn it off”
Note: If you liked it feel free to leave a tip ✨
Pile 2 ✨
You 🔮
The Star, Five of Shells (Cups), Three of Candles (Wands), The Hanged One
“Is it so crazy to hope that your wish comes true? The trick is to recognize and appreciate when it does. Spread and share your love”
“There is no point in dwelling on previous actions as mistakes. See them as a turning point towards a new route”
“Stay determined to remain adventurous. Take your ideas for a walk.”
“Beware of an uncomfortable limbo. Of being stuck in a role”
Oracle Message -
Be bold and bright! A shining sun on the horizon bringing warmth from the coolness of night! Don’t shudder yourself away due to what somebody else has said. Even when you tone yourself down, you can’t help but shimmer. Those who see you for what you are will embrace the warmth, and those who can’t will simply be blinded. Take care of yourself and your magnificent joy.
Them 💫
Five of Feather (Swords) - “You can learn humbly from this again…Don’t bite off more than you can chew”
Oracle Message
Sweet and gentle and looking for their own truth. Something bubbling up that they can no longer contain. A smile and a jokester that wants to give you more. Not very good at vulnerability but wants to grow and build with you. They may not know exactly who they are yet but they do want to be with you. An open door and arms.
Mini Playlist #2 🎶
Robin McNamara- Lay A Little Lovin On Me
“Ever since we kissed that night
Ever since I held you tight
I just don't want nobody else
So put your lips on mine
Leave them there 'til the morning time
Lord don't leave me by myself”
Floweroflove - Breaking News
“It's such a headache how you got me in knots
How you're up in my thoughts
Sound like, "Bla-bla-bla-bla" (Bla, bla)
It's so dramatic how you're all that I've got
How you love me non-stop
And your hair is so hot”
Sharon Van Etten & Angel Olsen - “Like I Used To”
“Lighting one up like I used to
Dancing all alone like I used to
Giving it up like I used to
Falling in love like I used to
Open my heart like I used to
Making out long like I used to
Holding hands openly, rights to
Taking what's mine like I used to”
Remi Wolf -Toro
“We're waking up the people down the hall
You're a bull, and I can't help but saying, "Toro, toro"
And when they buzz me for the lobby call
I don't show 'cause I'm too busy saying, "Toro, toro"
The things we do are so deplorable, horrible
Yeah, I'm too busy saying, "Toro, toro"”
Note: If you liked it feel free to leave a tip ✨
Pile 3 ✨
You 🔮
Eight of Roses (Pentacles) - “A regular and reliable arrangement or resource: sometimes we just want someone who can comfortably deliver”
Oracle Message -
Bearing the weight of everyone’s pain on your shoulders. The ever mature and sturdy one. Locked into a position of authority that is unwanted. Looking for somewhere to rest and lay easy. Hard-working and talented but often overlooked for the more glamorous. As difficult as it is, take the time for you. However that shows up, ignore that text message, take that day off, go on that date. Your life is for you. You can only provide so much before you burn yourself alive.
Them 💫
Two of Shells (Cups), The Devil
“Mutuality, merging and a precious meeting of hearts. To the exclusion of others”
“Play! Does it feel good?Does that mean it’s good? Tailor your preferences to the perfect fit; find your own way”
Oracle Message -
Emotional and always open, nearly a complete opposite, but always on your side. Teary eyes and talking about their feelings but their house is always warm. They like things you can’t conceive but they love that it makes you laugh. Unwittingly glamorous and needy but still kind. My struggle with the practical of life but seem to have figured out how to enjoy it.
Mini Playlist #3 🎶
Elton John- Candle In The Wind
“And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in”
“Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did”
Steven universe - I Need A Little Change
“And it's a full-time job admiring
All the ways that you're inspiring
If I had my way, I'd do it all day
The only problem is it doesn't pay”
SZA - Ghost in the Machine
“I just wanna fuck, eat, sleep, love happy
Can you make me happy? Can you keep me happy?”
“Everybody wanna be beautiful, scared of the unusual
Scared of givin' mutual respect, all that you hate
You reflect all that godlike, you forget how to love somebody”
Beyonce- Bodyguard
Sometimes I hold you closer
Just to know you're real (Ah)
Tell me your problems (I got you)
I take how you feel (Mm, huh)
I show you an exit (Ah)
When you're restless I take the wheel”
“I could be your bodyguard
Please let me be your Kevlar (Huh)
Baby, let me be your lifeguard
Kendrick Lamar ft. SZA - Luther
“In this world, concrete flowers grow
Heartache, she only doin' what she know
Weekends, get it poppin' on the low
Better days comin' for sure
If this world were—
If it was up to me
I wouldn't give these nobodies no sympathy
I'd take away the pain, I'd give you everything
I just wanna see you win, wanna see
Note: If you liked it feel free to leave a tip ✨
Pile 4 ✨
You 🔮
The World, King of Roses (Pentacles), Three of Roses (Pentacles)
“What have you learned from your experience? Are you ready to start a new adventure?
“Feel satisfied with what you’ve achieved thus far, but hopefully it’s only the beginning”
“Being grounded is a good thing, but give yourself permission every now and then to break free and do something different” - Biddy Tarot
Oracle Message -
A mind and a heart feeling conflicted. Feelings of a broken heart and a confused spirit. A path fought for and yet feeling like it hasn’t rewarded you. This is not the end but now is the time to let it be. Something has happened that feels like it can’t be walked back. Be honest and kind. This does not have to be a messy ending but a healing one.
Them 💫
The Empress, Knight of Roses (Pentacles), Eight of Feathers (Swords)
“Take time to allow the situation to develop”
“Don’t get so caught up in the routine that you lose sight of the adventure”
“Prior disappointments preventing present action…Unforeseen difficulties”
Oracle Message -
They are looking for a home. To be grounded and feel whole. They feel consumed by something or overwhelmed. Committed to a decision they didn’t realize would take so much. They want to provide and be honorable but they feel scared. Something isn’t clicking within them. There isn’t any malice involved but their actions still hurt. Miscommunication and missed opportunities.
Mini Playlist #4 🎶
Peter Brown - It’s True What They Say About Love
“Asking for more than they've given before in return
Growing as one is a lesson they promise to learn
And it's love that is found in the silent embrace
Close our eyes so the darkness will hold us in place
And they say love is lasting, time will never erase”
Kendrick Lamar & SZA - Gloria
“Said you gon' see other people if I didn't grow with you
Wasn't no more holdin' them pistols in front of stores with you
You want reality, not tragedy, for sure, I get you
To tell the truth, I been pretty used to what open-minded people do
In 2014, I went to Africa, baby, you was my passenger
My eyes and ears for all the years the neighborhood had baffled us
Of course I had to wrap it up, I didn't fully trust you
Fabrication, I disgust you, then you blocked me, I said, "Fuck you"”
Beach Bunny - Good Girls (Don’t Get Used)
“Say you miss me, say you wanna kiss me
I liked it better when you improvised the story we had
If you adore me, why do you ignore me?
I liked it better when you sent me "sorry" when I was sad
Stop saying, "It's my bad"
You're acting like your deadbeat dad
I know, you know you're better than that"
But you can't respond when you react”
Mitski - The Only Heartbreaker
“If you would just make one mistake
What a relief that would be
But I think for as long as we're together
I'll be the only heartbreaker”
“So I'll be the loser in this game
I'll be the bad guy in the play
I'll be the water main that's burst and flooding
You'll be by the window, only watch"

Beware the dreamer's lie...
Every nightmare has an end.
...Welp. Here I go again, putting a new fandom on my blog. God help us all-
But for real actually I've been a fan of Pastra for quite a long time! Both for his video essats and his horror series! I absolutely adore his artstyle and designs and his analog horror does so much new, different, and creative stuff with the genre that it immediately stood out to me, so I was an instant fan! Took me a while tho to make soms proper fanart, unfortunately, maybe i doodled here and there but i didn't have the motivation just yet to do a full piece...
Then Volume 1 came out and ohohoho i got my motivation >:]
Well that and soon after Vol. 1 came out I noticed this cool little AU going around on Tumblr where Clyde and Alex kinda team up, and I absolutely adore that kind of dynamic, so that got my motivation up even more! So much so that I even got some extra doodles out while working on the piece, some of em alluding to the Sitcom!DOAI AU, so ey that's something! I think- :'D
But anyhoo, my drawing inspiration is unfortunately well spent, so I'll cya guys wheneverI next get motivation! ...which'll probably be in a few months hhhhh-
#also damn it's really fun to draw Pastra's characters#i outta try them again soon#maybe try and drew the ones we haven't seen in the series yet ohoho 👀👀#pastra#pastraspec#dreams of an insomniac#DOAI#doai sitcom au#doai clyde#doai winfrey#doai lankmann#herbert lankmann#alex williams#doai alex williams#also i guess m a y b e on the sitcom!AU tag#cause i only really did smol doodles of it#but eeeehhhh#eyesore's art#Spotify

Random theories, head cannons and predictions for Roots of Chaos books
I have been rereading both "Priory of the Orange Tree" and "A day of Fallen Night" and have been noticing new things and creating my own theories and head cannons. I'm listing these theories from the ones I consider most likely to the lest likely/ones that have the least evidence.
1.) The Earl of Honeybrook (Kits dad) or one of his ancestors was a practitioner of sterren. Samantha Shannon has confirmed that Kabala's last words "beware the sweet water" refers to Kits family. At the beginning of the book its revealed that "The Earl of Honeybrook stood with the other members of the Virtues Council. He did not look troubled by the absence of his son, who he resembled in every way but the mouth, which never smiled.". We know that the use of Sterren affects offspring by making them look identical to the parent. I believe that at some point after A Day of Fallen Night when Kabala regained her strength she decided that she wanted a child to train but instead of taking another child from the priory she chose and Inysh child and taught them how to use sterren.
2.) There is a 4th Siden tree. In A day of Fallen Night, Wulf mentions rumours that there is a valley in the north beyond Hróth where the eversnow melts (I can't find the exact quote -sorry). I believe that this is because there is another siden tree located in this valley and the fire from the siden causes the snow to melt. Apart from this rumour this theory doesn't not have much proof in the book but I believe it because one of the major themes is balance and having 4 trees, one in each main location (North - Hroth, South - Lasia, West - Inys/Nurtha, East - Komoridu) makes sense from a narrative perspective. Also Samantha Shannon has hinted that later books will explore the Hurin in more detail and as we know that there are Hurin in the north beyond Hroth.
3.) The lacustrine legend of "The little shadow girl" will appear as a narrator character/a character in a future book and tells us that the balance of the universe has been disrupted before. The legend of the little shadow girl tells the story of a little girl who "‘In the time before the Great Sorrow, a fire-breather flew to the Empire of the Twelve Lakes and ripped the pearl from the throat of the Spring Dragon". We do not know how much before the great sorrow this legend takes place but as it features a wyrm it means that this wyrm is either the Nameless one (which is not likely as we know when the nameless one first appeared he stayed in the South) or a new wrym which we have never met. We also know that "As the Spring Dragon mourned for her pearl, a most unnatural winter fell over the land". This makes me think that in the very ancient times when the balance was disrupted a diffrent wyrm was created (possibly from one of the eastern volcano's instead of the Dreadmount) stole the pearl which either caused a "unnatural winter" or coincided with the times that sterren was in power (which caused the "unnatural winter"). I think that this legend will play a large role in a future book (possibly the very ancient book with Siati the Dreamer).
4.) The "Melancholy King" for who the "desert of unquiet dream" is named, was affected by sterren not a desert mirage. The king first sees the mirage when he is in his palace which is in the middle of a city. In real life mirages only tend to happen when you are in the middle of a desert not when you are in a city environment. Because of this and the Kings steadfast belief that he is in fact in a dream makes me believe that he was seeing an illusion created by someone using sterren. I don't know who or why someone would do this though.

I was giving this song a listen and I think a Yuu like this or just like Six from Little Nightmares in general would be such an interesting concept. Game Yuu is very passive and mostly just... there, and I'd live to see a cold, closed off Yuu that would do just about anything to ensure their own survival
Some lyrics that stood out to me:
It was only in my shadow that I'd finally found a friend
'Till the light that bound us let go and the devil took my hand
As she closed my eyes, remind me once again
What's the dreamer's lie? "Every nightmare has an end"
(Beware the dreamer's lie, every nightmare has an end)
(Or you'll be where the dreamers lie, some nightmares never end)
And:
A knife or a noose is with what you'll be met
If you try to play nice and stick out your neck
I thrive in the shadows, untrusting of light
Be warned if you join me, it's just for a bite
I'd rather be lost and lonely
'Cause friends aren't meant to last
Thought you finally got to know me
But you've only met the mask
But also:
Sad is my dream where the grass is quite green
Turned into a pasture of mesmerized sheep
I'd count them, but why should I bother
In the end they're all meant to be slaughtered

Agere List
To me Carer/Regressor dynamics are different than your typical Romantic/Platonic/Familial type of realationships, so I've decided to make a separate list for F/Os who are my Caregivers, or who I Caregive for.

Myth of the Wishmasters - Part 1
Alrighty folks, here we go.
Part 1 of the finale to Wrath of the Wishmaster.
It's been a really wild ride writing this fic for y'all. Honestly, it's the most fun I've had writing fic in a long time. But, I don't want to keep pushing to the point of me hating it. So, I'm going to give this fic the send off it deserves, and let it be my first truly complete work.
Will I come back to this?
Probably.
But I can't keep writing 2,000+ word chapters every day. I'm out of ideas for now, and I'm not going to force it. If I come up with more ideas, I'll happily come back and write them as one-shot accompaniment to this series.
Until then, as always, I hope you enjoy this and the next chapter. It's been a fun go around.
Full credit to @realmofthefirebird for inspiration. Go check out their comics, they're flipping awesome.
Word Count: 3,000
They speak in legends, in tomes, in myths, of the one called the Wishmaster.
At the beginning of it all, in the Age After Nothing, there emerged the one called the Wishmaster.
In the center of everything, in the center of nothing, there is the Time Room, keeper of the one called the Wishmaster.
In a place at the center of time, in a place where time cannot touch, there is the one called the Wishmaster.
It is a god of no equal. It is a god of many names, in many forms. But it is always the one called the Wishmaster.
How one meets the Wishmaster may very. It takes something powerful, something capable of building a bridge into the void. But all require a piece of the Eternal Dream, for it is the Dream that is the threads of the Void. Objects with fragments of the Dream are the most reliable vector to crossing into the Void.
In its current form, it calls itself Prismo. The Almighty Prismo is a kind spirit. An aloof one. He does not exist in the way you or I may think of it. For he is not a being of physical form. No, the Almighty Prismo has no need for physicality. For he is but an extention of the Time Room itself. He is the Time Room, and the Time Room is he.
He is the walls and floors, the ceiling and corners. He is everything, and he is nothing. He is everywhere and nowhere. He is infinite, and he is nothingness.
The Almighty Prismo can almost be mistaken for someone mortal. He does not act with malice to those who seek him, but he will give little favor. Those who do, the most powerful and persistent amongst mortals, might find themselves communing with gods.
The Almighty Prismo, the one called the Wishmaster, offers the same bargain to any who find his domain, his domain of the Time Room.
One wish, anything your heart desires, you may ask of him. And he will make it so.
But do beware, wish makers.
Realities may warp or split or merge, people and objects may shuffle through time and space, memories, lifetimes, erased or rewritten forever. But he will make it so.
For while Almighty Prismo is not a cruel god, he is a tricky one. Any wish lacking detail, he will fill the gaps. And lapse in thinking, and forgotten factor, and unforeseen consequence, he shall consider. To those he favors, he may advise. To those he doesn't?
Well, you will receive what you wish for.
Whether or not you can live with that is not a trouble for the Almighty Prismo.
He is the crossroads, the boundary, the space between it all.
And when the name Prismo grows tiresome, it will be cast away, and the one called the Wismaster will take a new name. For the Wishmaster is eternal. For the Time Room must have a Wishmaster.
The Wishmaster is the era is Prismo.
Who it shall be the next?
Only the Dreamer can decide.
---------------------------------------
Prismo had long ago accepted that he wasn't meant to be a being a wants.
He thought about what it'd be like to want things. It was his job to grant the wants of others, it was only natural to wonder what he would do in their position.
Some wished for power. They wished to be kings or queens or emperors. They wished to be at the top of their pile, unstoppable, unquestioned. They wished to be the one sitting at the top of the tower, smiling down at all the peasants, waving in smug satisfaction.
Prismo had no desire for power. He had everything he'd need right here. He could conjure almost anything he could think of. He was already near the top of the pile if how everyone talked about his was any indication. The only ones who could override him were the Higher Ups, Golb, and the Boss themselves. And well... he had no desire to usurp or overtake them. Just listening to the Organizer describe even a part of her job exhausted him. All powerful Wishmaster or not, he still had a mortal brain. It was incomprehensible to him, to be a Higher Up. Honestly, it was a big mind boggling even being in this position.
So, no, he wouldn't wish for power.
Some wished for wealth. They wished for mountains of gold or jewels. They wished to be head of the greatest company ever conceived. They wished to never have to worry about the cost of life ever again, and then some. Most wanted it as a ticket to power.
Prismo liked gold, that was true. He liked decorating himself with jewelry when he got the opportunity, he liked how it sparkled and glittered. But, he could just conjure it. He had no real need for wealth. Gold was meaningless to him, except in how it was pretty. He knew, even as a mortal, he'd never need the amount of gold that these wish makers were asking for. It was more than could be spent in a lifetime. More than could be spent in several lifetimes, even. And he didn't see the appeal.
So, nope, wealth wasn't it either.
People wished for so many things. Power and wealth were the most common, but they certainly weren't the only things.
People wished for love, they wished for family, they wished for health. Some wished for noble reasons, like Finn, trying correct a great evil, trying to save millions. Some wished for the pettiest things imaginable, like cursing a rival with sickness or pain.
And then there was Prismo.
A god who wanted nothing. Or, did he?
He never dwelled too deeply on the thought. It was a pointless endeavor, after all. His role as Wishmaster excluded him from wanting things.
So, he chose not to think too hard about it.
Until a certain roommate challenged that.
Because Scarab... Scarab made him want things. Prismo wanted Scarab, wanted his affection. Scarab made him think about what he wanted.
Prismo wanted to be friends with good people. He was done with being "everybody's pal." He was only that because he didn't want anything from anyone. But, now he wanted something. He wanted kindness. He wanted compassion. And he found out how little of it there was to go around within the pantheon.
Scarab made him think about what he wanted from his space. The unchanging Time Room had completely transformed with Scarab's help. Prismo felt... good in here. He felt good to call this place home, because now it actually felt like home. Because Scarab made him realize there were things that's make him more comfortable.
Prismo, the person, not the Wishmaster, wanted things.
And he realized he had everything he could want. At least with Scarab there, in his arms, chirping and purring in a warm bundle, in the soft glow of the magic clouds above them.
A small ring interrupted the quiet calm. A familiar sound, of something being conjured.
Prismo cracked an eye open, a single letter on the ground in the center of the Time Room.
"Lovebug" the Wishmaster whined.
"Hmm?"
"There's mail."
"So there is."
"Can you go get it?"
Scarab scoffed, rolling his eyes as he dislodged himself from the blanket pile. He picked the letter up, but froze as he read the address.
Prismo tilted his head.
"Lovebug?"
Scarab was frozen. Eerily still.
Okay, now Prismo was worried.
"Scarab?"
Scarab finally seemed to return to himself, looking at Prismo with wide, uncertain eyes.
"...It's from the Boss."
Prismo felt his stomach drop out from under him.
"...Excuse me?"
"It's from the Boss. Prismo, why are we getting a message from the Boss, what did we do?"
"I-I don't know man! Come here, open it!"
Scarab's hands were shaking, slowly opening the letter, with starkly simple writing.
To Prismo the Wishmaster and Caretaker Scarab,
Caretaker Scarab's position has been altered due to exceptional work and recommendation from a superior.
Caretaker Scarab's title has been updated from Time Room Caretaker, to Assistant Wishmaster. Responsibilities now include occasionally granting wishes under the supervision of Wishmaster Prismo. Continue upkeep of Time Room. Majority of wishes are still expected to be granted by Wishmaster Prismo. As a guide, for every 10 wishes granted, one may be granted by Assistant Wishmaster Scarab.
Assistant Wishmaster Scarab will remain in the Time Room until further notice.
The Organizer has advocated for this position change. While unorthodox, she does not petition me often, so I am inclined to believe it is after thoughtful consideration. I will be surveying your progress.
Do not make me regret this, Scarab. There has never been two Wishmasters at a time. Consider this a trial run.
Good luck,
-The Boss
The two gods stared at the piece of paper.
An unassuming piece of paper that just upgraded Scarab to one of the highest positions in the pantheon.
Granted, it was assistant, not full, but still!
"...Scrabby...?"
Prismo could see Scarab's form shaking, before he let out the loudest, most energetic chirp the Wishmaster had ever heard come from such a small body.
Scarab seemed to be honest to Glob dancing, hugging the piece of paper close to his chest. He turned to Prismo, eyes so wide, to match his smile, before running up and nearly flinging himself into his partner's chest, practically vibrating.
Prismo chuckled, catching the bug and holding him close, smiling and kissing the top of Scarab's head.
"PRISMO! PRISMO, I... I-I...!"
"I know, Lovebug, I know! You earned it, baby, you deserve every bit of it!"
Scarab seemed a bit lost in his own excitement, almost ready to cry, before his shoulders seemed to remind him of humility. He groaned as he rubbed at them, but not even that seemed to put a damper on his good mood.
"I'm so happy for you, Scarab. Two Wishmasters, hmm?"
"I-I know! It's unprecedented! It's never been done before, not even since Time began! I'd know, I checked." Scarab seemed to pace, his shell buzzing with excited energy.
"Tell you what, Lovebug. It said in the letter that in every 10 wishes, you should grant one. So, how about I grant the next nine, just to show you the ropes, and then you grant wish number 10! Give you some time to study, maybe start thinking of your own wish granting style before you give it a go. Sound good?"
Scarab considered before nodding sagely.
"Wish granting style?"
"Well, yeah. How you chose to interpret wishes. Most people who pass through here leave gaps in their wishes. It's up to the Wishmaster to fill in those gaps. How you choose to fill them sets the tone for who you are as a Wishmaster."
Scarab hummed, giving Prismo a studying look.
"Well... What is your style then?"
Prismo scooped Scarab up to let the beetle perch on his shoulder as he flipped on the screen wall.
"Well... I tend to approach it with a Monkey's Paw deal. The example I like to give is... What if you wished for a back rub? Who's giving you this back rub? An actual masseuse, a random sweaty guy, a bear? If the wish maker doesn't specify, I tend to fill in gaps in ways I find funny, mostly. Next question, where does this masseuse come from? Do I just spawn someone out of the either? Do I pull some random dude out of his reality, away from anyone and anything he knew? How is that universe's timeline effected with him gone?"
Prismo flipped through a few realities made from his wishes.
"This Farmworld here. It was made with good intentions. Finn wished for the Lich to have never existed. He didn't specify what exactly that meant for his reality. Did he mean the Mushroom War never happens? Did he mean for the Catalyst Commet containing the Lich to miss Ooo? The way I try to think of it is to preserve as much of the wish maker's original timeline as possible. Something that world altering gets separated and made into its own reality. I interpreted the wish as the Lich never getting to leave the Mushroom Bomb, as that leave most of the timeline intact, up until the 1000 years after the Lich's emergence. Keeps the threads more intact, rather than rewriting 65 million years if the Catalyst Commet missed, or rewriting that realities interaction with the cosmic timeline by deleting Catalyst Commets entirely."
Prismo turned to look at Scarab who was utterly transfixed.
"Make sense?"
"Yes, I think I understand your logic... Interpreting the wish in such a way that makes reality rewrite itself as little as possible."
"Exactly. Even then, it still needed to be isolated into a new reality. A lot of things happened in Ooo over those 1000 years, all of which are because the Lich emerged."
Prismo flicked through a few more timelines, explaining how those wishes were interpreted and the knock on effects they had.
"Prismo. Do you have something you'd consider a perfect wish?"
The Wishmaster thought.
"Hmm... Perfect wish? If it did happen, I wasn't Wishmaster when it did. 99% of the wishes that come through here are too simple. Too filled with gaps to ever go the way the Wish Maker intended."
Prismo thought a bit longer, pausing on Scarab's intense expression.
"I think... the most complete wish I ever granted was... actually a bit sad. They wished to be removed from their reality. Completely. They got pretty much exactly what they wanted. No one in their time line remembered who they were, all of their future accomplishments were distributed to other people, and they ceased to exist as a person, turning into some kind of... non-sentient cosmic wind I think. It was the most specific wording I've never gotten for a wish. Fewest gaps to be filled. But... I'm not sure I'd call it a perfect wish. It just seemed so..."
"...Depressing?"
"Yeah..."
The two sat in silence for a long moment. Scarab seemed to be in deep thought before nodding his head.
"Thank you, Prismo. I hope to learn a lot from you."
Prismo smiled, lightly nuzzling the side of Scarab's waist as the beetle purred.
And so, Prismo carried on, not thinking much of it. A perfect wish? It probably wasn't possible. Not in his tenure as Wishmaster at least.
So, he continued to teach.
He had to admit, Scarab was an avid learner. He took diligent notes, studied through countless realities Prismo had created, breaking down where and how the gaps in wishes were filled.
He watched, carefully, as Prismo granted the first wish since the new change.
The Wishmaster kind of felt bad that Scarab's first real observation was one of the most boring types of wishes. This one wished to be famous. No details on how that fame would be achieved, or if that fame was even positive.
Prismo wasn't malicious as a Wishmaster, but he wouldn't lie and say a little bit of bias didn't slip in depending on the Wish Maker's attitude. This one treated Prismo like an object rather than a person, and was very smug about even making it here.
So, Prismo granted the wish alright. He was certainly famous. Maybe it was for the most embarrassing speech and presentation of all time, but it was fame. His name would live on for a long time, that was for certain.
"I don't like how that one treated you" Scarab chittered from his corner.
"Yeah, well, you get some good ones and some bad ones. The bad ones I just send on their way. No real skin off my nose."
"...Does it not bother you when they don't seem to see... you?"
Prismo shrugged.
"I mean, what am if not the Almighty Prismo, the Wishmaster. No one sticks around long enough to care, so why should I?"
That didn't seem to sit well with Scarab, but the beetle dropped it for the time being.
As time ticked by, more and more wishes poured through.
A wish to make sure their town never went hungry again.
A wish to become king of the solar system.
A wish to make the love of their life never feel despair again.
All had their faults. All were granted accordingly. And Scarab was there, taking notes on it all. He observed, commented when the Wish Maker left, and noted on Prismo's explanations.
A few Wish Makers commented on Scarab's presence. The ones who were nice to the beetle might have found themselves with slightly more favorable interpretations, but no one needed to know that.
A wish to bring back a loved one from the dead.
A wish to be the most irresistible thing on the planet.
A wish to gain all the magical knowledge of the cosmos.
A wish for the ability to turn back time.
All came and left. All decided their own fates. Prismo had eventually forgot about Scarab's inquiry into what he'd consider the perfect wish.
Until the last wish before Scarab's trial run came and went. A bit anticlimactic in his opinion.
A wish to never die. Poor bastard didn't know what he was asking for with that one.
Scarab was quiet, his usual commentary suspiciously absent.
"Well, you think you're ready, Lovebug?"
Scarab hummed, tapping a pen onto the notebook, clearly deep in thought.
"Scarab?"
"Hm? Oh, yes, I think so. But... well, I have one more question for you, Prismo."
The beetle was slow to rise, flicking through his notes one more time, before putting it all down.
"You remember, how I asked you if you had ever had a perfect wish?"
"Oh, yeah. Like I said, and like you probably saw, most of the wishes aren't super exciting. Was hoping for something a bit more... I dunno, showy for your first set, but not like I control what other people want."
"Right..."
Scarab seemed to hesitate.
"...You alright, Lovebug? Looks like you're about to pop, you're thinking so hard." Prismo chuckled as he curled around the beetle, nuzzling him softly.
But Scarab had a look. A dead serious one. He looked up at the Wish Master with... a conviction. A scary kind.
"...Prismo. What would you wish for?"

Do you think any of the Greens is already aware Helaena is a dragon dreamer? Imo at least Alicent and/or Aemond could have realized it after he lost his eye. do you think in se2, her gift/curse is going to be explored further?
hi, thanks for the question.
i personally think none of the greens realized that helaena is a dreamer.
if alicent realized it, she would have listened to her after aemond lost his eye, especially when helaena kept repeating "beware of the beast beneath the boards".
for what it concers aemond, maybe, as a student of history, he knows very well about targaryen's dreamers and maybe he could have hypothesized that. but we saw so little of their family's background in season 1 so i don't know for sure if he had any idea of it.
the only people who could have realized it were viserys, who didn't care about his children with alicent that much, and rhaenyra, who knew about the conqueror's dream.

An explanation to the main loop in ORV
- Beware of spoilers of the novel's epilogue -
I come to explain in the simplest possible way the loop that happens in ORV for those who want a more concise and less "philosophical" answer of the whole thing. But I must say that ORV, in general, is drawn to the philosophical side of human existence and that mainly revolves around its protagonists, because this is the story of Kim Dokja and a few other people, so don't expect a precise reason why things are the way they are.
With that out of the way, I'll explain mainly the three "main existences" in ORV which are: Secretive Plotter, tls123 and the Most Oldest Dream (not in this particular order) and how they are connected
[[….Oh, you sad, pitiful child.]]
[[Oh, hear ye, my dear god. I have endured a truly lengthy period of time just to meet you, but….]]
[[You are this universe’s most powerless existence, aren’t you.]]
...
[[….Is that why you needed us? This is a very cruel request for help, indeed.]]
...
[[You couldn’t even control your own imagination, is that it?]]
Chapter 515.
Some might consider that the Universe, or at least the entire tragedy of TWS, begins with the existence of the Most Oldest Dream because of this single sentence uttered by the 999th Uriel.
A child who had suffered years of abuse, neglect, and terrible trauma made a fictional story come true. That child dreamed to escape his own reality and forced himself into fiction to do so. By repeatedly saying "I am Yoo Jonghyuk," Kim Dokja gradually brought that man's story to life. But how did this child gain such power? How could this little child be the "Creator"?
...However, This story already existed and Kim Dokja just read it somewhere. So, if not the dreamer, who is the true creator of this universe?
At this point, many people who read ORV, just like the 999th gang and Secretive Plotter, are confused by the loop created by Han Sooyoung from 1863th turn, also known as the tls123.
The perpetuation of cause and effect "begins" in the 1863th turn, but also doesn't.
“Is this the price of the Outer World Covenant that you received? In exchange for killing Yoo Jonghyuk, you will get the power to make your own world?”
Kim Dokja to the 1863th Han Sooyoung - Chapter 295.
To recap, Han Sooyoung makes an Outer World Covenant with Secretive Plotter on the third turn and, like Kim Dokja, is taken to the 1863rd to kill Yoo Joonghyuk. However, unlike Kim Dokja, only one of Han Sooyoung's avatars is sent there, with the other one continuing to exist on the third turn.
Han Sooyoung's idea of "killing" Yoo Joonghyuk of that turn was to put him in deep slumber for eternity and thus create a new story out of the original story (out of Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World) without him.
This implies that not only will she be able to push the boundaries of the original story that the protagonist himself failed to pass and go beyond the Final Wall, but she will also gain the power to create a brand new world. Perhaps when making the Outer World Covenant, Secretive Plotter had no idea of the details as contracts made within that Universe can have multiple interpretations and can be easily manipulated, even unintentionally.
Her ability also includes writing the Three Ways to Survive that Kim Dokja read and, with that, the combination of her power and Kim Dokja's dream allowed them to turn fiction into reality.
But, again, how did tls123 experience a story that was supossibly created just after her own existence? Yoo Joonghyuk's life already existed for Han Sooyoung to write about it, so she cannot be the creator.
Plus, if it weren't for her meeting Kim Dokja in the 1863th turn and the desire to see him survive, Han Sooyoung wouldn't have written TWS in the first place and would simply have continued her story beyond the 1863th turn.
“Something felt off to me about this world.”
It was my first time hearing such a shrewd tone of voice coming from him.
“One day, I suddenly came into existence in this world.”
0th Yoo Joonghyuk to Demon King of Salvation - Chapter 525
A conveniently-crafted life, a series of adversities created solely to become a tragedy later. This quote about Yoo Joonghyuk could explain his whole character, at least in the reader's mind.
After all, what is the reason for the existence of this character. Who is Yoo Joonghyuk? This question was on Yoo Joonghyuk's mind from the 0th turn all the way to the Secretive Plotter.
His life happened out of nowhere, and also, out of nowhere, thrown into the tragedies of a novel. On his first time in the scenarios, an unknown being helped him immensely using it’s strange knowledge about everything.
And after that, Yoo Joonghyuk felt that his life had been completely taken care of by someone else. As a final request, he wished to learn the truth about this world and himself.
But he was also curious about the existence of the being who had assisted him, and as a result, Yoo Joonghyuk regressed.
My interpretation
⸢The night sky was reflected in Yu Jung-Hyeok’s eyes.⸥
As if he was a child wondering about his origins, Yu Jung-Hyeok estimated where in the sky the [Wall] might be and extended his hand towards it.
He’d become the ‘Secretive Plotter’ someday, and…
….And at the same time, also become the 1864th turn’s Yu Jung-Hyeok that I knew.
Chapter 525.
For me there is a loop within a loop. Yes, Yoo Hoonghyuk would become Secretive Plotter and he would also become 1864th turn's Yu Jung-Hyeok, but not the ones we know.
Because, at the end of the day, they're both people from different universes. The Secretive Plotter is no longer a character within a novel for thousands of years, the fact that he has the power to travel to other turns and, above all, change many things from these turns (Outer World Covenant with 999th Yoo joonghyuk, and other Outer World Covenant with Han Soyooung and Kim Dokja) already shows that Yoo joonghyuk's will is what changes everything.
Yoo joonghyuk is the most powerful being.
He makes the decision to become a Regressor. Because he is a person who came from nothing and became everything.
He becomes a protagonist in an author's story, and he becomes a protagonist in a reader's story. Is there anyone more powerful than a protagonist?
Is there anyone more powerful than a protagonist who regress?
Yoo Joonghyuk is a real person, who became a legend, and finally became a protagonist. The loop occurred first with Yoo Joonghyuk himself and then spreading to those around him.
There is a dialogue between the Secretive Plotter and Yoo Joonghyuk from 14864th in which the Secretive Plotter says the following thing:
[…]
[[Did you know? There was this young boy in the front-most subway car that always died during every regression turn.]]
That question came out of nowhere. Yu Jung-Hyeok naturally recalled the events of the subway train. The very first scenario, the very first encounter with Hell that he had to experience every single time.
However, Yu Jung-Hyeok didn’t know anything about such a boy. Because, there were simply too many people who died in that manner back then.
[[While regressing several times, I tried to prevent his death, but it was impossible.]]
“…..”
[[He was really a young boy. Younger even than Yi Gil-Yeong. However, even such a child had to ‘prove his credentials’. For all of the 1863 lives, that child couldn’t even put up a proper fight and had to die. He died, and died, and died over and over again.]]
Chapter 458.
There's a theory that this boy was the Most Oldest Dream, however why would the supposed "God" of this world be dead in every regression that the Secretive Plotter faces on, and more importantly, why didn't our own Yoo Joonghyuk know about him?
There is a chance that such a boy will only appear because that is how the 1863th Yoo Joonghyuk wants it. Because the Secretive Plotter wanted it.
Secretive Plotter's greatest desire was to find the ‘creator’ of his tragic life and kill him.
It is strange, yes. But it is worth mentioning that our own Yoo Joonghyuk is someone who is in a new story created by himself and therefore he does not know this boy.
Remember? Our Yoo Joonghyuk is someone who has fled the novel story and is no longer a protagonist. The 1864’s turn Yoo Joonghyuk is no longer a character.
He escaped the barriers of TWS wanting to live that life shown by Kim Dokja. Living that turn that seemed perfect and so he did. From his own free will, he regresses and is now living that life.
As Yoo Joonghyuk had wished, he unwittingly erased his memory of all of his past lives and started a brand new story. And we all know that the Regressor Yoo Joonghyuk's life begins with the third round, but now, with Kim Dokja by his side, just as he wanted.
Unlike the Secretive Plotter that always wanted to find and kill The Most Oldest Dream, our Yoo Joonghyuk's wish was to find someone in particularly and fight alongside him. (Thus, the 0th turn Yoo Joonghyuk who Dokja thinks is the one he knew and our own Yoo Joonghyuk from 1864th turn. Both choose to regress for this reason).
The timeline will only move according to Yoo Joonghyuk's will (mostly), which is why the loop thing is so confusing when it comes to the other two.
Without Yoo Joonghyuk, neither Kim Dokja nor the Three Ways to Survive story would be possible.
As one of Kim Dokja's very first statments about Yoo Joonghyuk is:
"The first way to survive this ruined world is this man."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think I lost my hand here and I still have A LOT to say about, and I haven't even mentioned the Dokkaebi King or the Winny King yet and what they meant to this whole thing.
Did you guys have any opinions on this take? That’s my interpretation and maybe in the future I update this on a re-read or when I come with new ideias.
Because in the ORV story itself it is said that if you read it again, a new perspective is created.

* ◟ : 〔 KIM JINWOO , NONBINARY + HE / THEY 〕 DEAW AHN , some say you’re a THIRTY TWO YEAR OLD lost soul among the neon lights. known for being both PURE and NAIVE, one can’t help but think of DREAMER by TALLEST MAN ON EARTH when you walk by. are you still a BLADE RUNNER, REPLICANT, “CASTRATO” for STONEAGE INDUSTRIES, NEW YORK CITY METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE, even with your reputation as THE INGENUE? i think we’ll be seeing more of you and SINGING ARIAS TO THE DOVECOTE, THE SHARP GLINT OF A PISTOL LAYING PUSHED TO THE WAYSIDE ON A DESK BESIDE A BOUQUET AND JEWELS, DREAMS OF A BLOODLESS PEACE, although we can’t help but think of LUCY WESTENRA ( DRACULA ) + ALEC ( NIGHTRUNNER ) + CECILE ( DANGEROUS LIAISONS ) whenever we see you down these rainy streets.
Name: Deaw Ahn Age: “32” Gender: Nonbinary Pronouns: He/They Orientation: Bisexual Species: Replicant Occupation: Bladerunner Civilian Occupation: "Castrato" at Metropolitan Opera House Tropes: The Ingenue, The Heart, Silk Hiding Steel, Beauty is Goodness Expanded Aesthetic: walking barefoot through the glade while cicadas hum / mourning hymns cast over an animal night / laying bare and prone upon dew and dirt, listening for primordial song / an ore split open at the seam / nightingales shivering free of their oaks, taking to a black sky / tenderness and rebellion, love and wrath in one breath Singing Voiceclaim: xSpeaking Voiceclaim: x History (TLDR below): tw - mentions of violence
life begins with a song.
your mothers are women of the earth, nymphs brimming with love and temper.
a spat in the morning, a riot over lunch, a reconciliation coupled with the din of a record fuzzily crooning speakeasy jazz and mournful blues. the pines beyond their little wooden home whisper hushed hymns of animal secrets and primordial ciphers.
life is full of ancient melody out here, and you want to be the mouthpiece.
moonshot, you long to be the herd of silver deer galloping through the dark, the owl howl, the mourning nightingale.
how to raise a fledgling starchild. alone. by sinistra ton
do not hide anything. tell the truth, but tell it beautifully. he is as untamed as he is a thing of bent stems. he will catch the scent of a half-lie as if it's drenched in rot. i've told him everything - everything, save for the letter left behind.
do not clip a wildling's wings. she had tried, when it was just us, with our bedroom door shut, or when the boy was out in the forest.
nurture a generous heart. he returns from his trips to town with a new stray. darling boy of gilt heart, rabbit-in-the-thicket child. too lovely. unfit for this world. you tell him so while he washes the rain from wild berries, brushing hair from his eyes. beware the calloused hand that reaches for yours. it has touched thorns like yours to pick at the rose.
do not lie. he finds the note. he knows lucia has left. he knows i refused to go, that i refused to let her take him too. he is silent, rounds his mouth on 'betrayal' - i collapse.
do not stop him when he leaves. his cheeks are still tearstained when he leaves for the city - he kisses my brow tenderly. he says, i will bring her back.
...
...
...
his memories end there. he learns later that his former memory-maker was replaced with one more efficient, more mindful of Stoneage's objectives. his memories become that of training, of honing his lethality, his agility, his ruthlessness when duty calls for him. and when it calls, he loathes it. in spite of his new memory-maker, he hates what he has been made to do.
instead, he dreams of what the first memory-maker must have been like, to give him such resplendent, romantic memories, to bequeath upon him such a personal, noble goal as finding his missing mother. to gift him a singing voice that has been extinct without the injury that usually accompanies it. this figure shrouded in mystery, this enigma, must be kind. must be loving. must embrace love and art and song and nature and must be so far disparate from the clinical business of Stoneage and the concrete jungle of new york.
perhaps they hated what they were made to do too.
tldr:
deaw (named after morning dew - actually the old english way of spelling it) was adopted by two women (sinistra and lucia) who lived on the outskirts of rural new york in their homestead, following a sustainable lifestyle. life was musical, ideal, and isolated, with leisure time spent running alongside deer, singing to the moon, and bathing in the wild rivers.
life is idyllic until lucia ups and leaves overnight, seemingly with no warning signs, and no attempt at communication. the remaining family is heartbroken, but carry on as best they can, though deaw is particularly wounded by the sudden abandonment.
years pass. chance leads to deaw discovering a letter addressed to sinistra from lucia dated the night the latter left, and he sets off to find her.
PSYCH. he is a replicant bladerunner. up until this bullet, his memories were fabricated by a memory-maker; it is this same memory-maker who made him sweet and whimsical and wild, who gave him a natural extinct castrato's voice (without the horrific injury so well-associated with the practice) so he could sing with the wild birds, who made him find love and beauty even in the darkest and most decrepit places. abrubtly, this memory-maker was replaced by another more... efficient. one that helped hone him into a more ruthless bladerunner.
unfortunately, the work of a bladerunner goes against his very nature crafted by his first memory-maker. though he is extremely skilled, he hates the work, hates that he was also made to be so proficient at retiring replicants. secretly, he yearns for a future free of stoneage industries, and he dreams of one day meeting his first memory-maker. to understand them. to better understand himself.
SUMMARY: deaw is a creature of contradictions and dichotomies, love and wrath, tenderness and easy, fleeting touches and a penchant for altruism and restlessness. a made nymph, as wild and freefalling as his 'mothers', but with a great affection and tenderness towards his fellow 'man'. unfortunately, he's an incredibly proficient bladerunner.
WANTED CONNECTIONS
unfortunate replicants who are on his list to 'retire'
patrons and benefactors at the opera house, particularly those fascinated by his famous 'castrato' voice but without the actual practice associated with it having forced upon him. 1000% he is marketed as possessing an extinct voice.
both his memory-makers!!!!
fellow employees at stoneage - those who sympathize with him and those who are deplete of any empathy for his plight
fellow romantics and wildlings
people who can yell at him for being so enamored with nature and love and art in this age of tech and modernity

Wish Review/Thoughts/Stuff
Not a formal review, just some bullet points of my thoughts on Disney's Wish. Letsa go.
***SPOILERS BELOW SO, YA KNOW, BEWARE***
So. I liked it. It was sweet, gorgeous to look at, and a simple fairytale. But I think that's the movie's biggest weakness because
There are no consequences. Just like Frozen, Raya, Frozen II, etc. the heroes go on this big quest and the stakes are freaking high like oh shit are they actually gonna go there an- Oh. Wait. Nope. Everything and everyone is fine and there's a happy ending and the movie's order and nothing was lost and will never be lost the end. When Magnifico crushed Asha's mother's wish I thought for a second that he killed her. Straight up. But then no she's just... really sad. And that sucks but she's fine. And those other three citizens are fine. Their dreams are literally crushed but, yeah, they're fine. Simon betrays Asha. He says sorry. They're friends again. They're all fine. Magnifico body slams a 17 year old girl into the stone floor more than once. She's fine. Whatever evil that has taken hold of Magnifico is just.. defeated. That's fine. This is fine. Everything's fine. Which brings me to my next critique that there is
So much set up and little to no pay off. What was the deal with the burned ends of the tapestry? What terrible fate was Magnifico trying to avoid? What's the deal with the evil book? Why did it have it? Does it have something to do with the story in the tapestry? Why did they mention Asha's grandfather's age multiple times (did you know he's turning 100 years old and can still ride a horse and play the guitar) and then do nothing with that information? Were they hinting at grandpa not living to get to see his wish granted? Was Asha trying desperately to get his wish granted because she knew he wouldn't have too much longer to live? What's the typical life span of a citizen of Rosas? Is 100 the new 40? Why was Magnifico so suspicious of granting grandpa's gift of playing music? Does this have to do with the story of the tapestry?? Why does Dahlia have a cane? Is she injured or is it a disability? Why are we trying to represent a person with a disability and then never mentioning it throughout the entire run time of the movie? Does her wish have anything to do with why she has a cane? Does her wish involve making the best damn cookies this kingdom has ever seen because to hell with her disability because she's got kickass friends who love her for her and don't want/need her to change but will the movie ever address this? If Dahlia knows about the inner workings of the castle does she know about the story in the tapestry??? What happened to Asha's dad? Why don't we get to see him, not even in a flashback? Why couldn't he have been the stand-in for Walt himself? Was Asha's dad the one to inspire her to draw and create animation just as Walt inspires us/a new generation of dreamers to this day? (Are we just going to gloss over the fact that Asha created her own snippet of animation? And that she must love to draw because she has so many pictures in her notebook? Can we please have a Disney heroine that loves to not only draw but animate?) And if Asha is about to turn 18 and her grandpa is turning 100, how does that work?! How old is her mother? Did they not have kids until they were in their 40s? Is he Asha's great great grandpa instead? If he's turning 100, should he know more about the city's history? Should he be older than Magnifico? DOES HE KNOW ABOUT THE STORY IN THE TAPESTRY THAT MAGNIFICO IS TRYING SO DESPERATELY TO NOT HAVE HAPPEN TWICE? JENNIFER LEE, I HAVE QUESTIONS AND I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO HAVE, LIKE, FOUR OF THEM ANSWERED PLEASE.
*deep breaths*
Valentino is Olaf without the heart. Let me explain. Olaf is a comic relief sidekick. He's also the reason Elsa and Anna reconnected after years of isolation and is a core memory for the girls. He's their holiday tradition. He's their friend. Elsa made him. Olaf, whether you love him or like him, is an essential part of the story of Frozen. Valentino is a comic relief sidekick. He's Asha's three week old friend/pet/buddy/cute animal. Um. He talks now. He's super cute. Love his outfit. Says some funny lines. Alan Tudyk. .... That's about it.
Chris Pine knocked this out of the damn park. Excellent voice acting on his part, loved his inflections and growls and everything in between. Very nice. Handsome king is handsome. Yes.
Asha and her friends are a better retelling of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs than that live action movie will ever hope to be (if it ever gets finished).
Like I said, I did like this movie. Being the Disney nerd that I am, I was a sucker for all the references to previous Disney films (heck, the freaking opening text got me) and I'm going to go through this movie with a fine tooth comb the second I get my hands on a pause button on Disney+ to find them all. This movie seems to be getting a lot of hate which I don't think is warranted but there's obvious flaws and holes a mile wide in the plot. I'm hovering between a 6 or a 7 out of 10 or a solid B rating at the moment of writing this.
Also Asha is a tour guide and I am a tour guide so we're practically twins.

Reverse Au! Time
Another post related to @in-your-dreams-vn
So, Halloween means I get free reigns to make an AU (Talking like Kraken has not enabled me a huge amount)
Beware, Bungiu Bubai (Dreamcatcher Sage) or Bun/Bai for short.
Story (Kind of a Q&A) and more sketches below
⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆⋆⋆ ˚。⋆୨🎃୧ ⋆ ˚。⋆⋆⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆
Bai's form is based on a ferret and she is way smaller than most dream catchers as her size can help dreamers to get used to her. She uses her coat to cover children/innocent people from nightmares so they can hide in a safe space where she has her gold accesories to glow as a comfort.
She is a little selfish (since she isn't supposed to interfere with the nightmares due to her job) with her acts but when they trynna catch her she just burrows herself in any near earthy biome and just vanish.
⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆⋆⋆ ˚。⋆୨🎃୧ ⋆ ˚。⋆⋆⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆
How did Bai met Lynde(Human Traum)?
Bai was coursing through dreams as usual, when she found a human child in a particularly bad dream. Plagued by what they only can expect to be a personification of their insecurities. She decided to help him with them, hiding him with her coat and comforting him as long as she could, without actually interacting with the nightmares.
She stayed long until he woke up, not before they promised the child a visit in every dream to make sure they would be safe.
Is Bai a Yandere since this is a reverse Au?
No, she is not. I wanted to take the essence and play a bit with the fact. But Sage's personality doesn't allow her to become Yan in the dreamcatcher AU. I would leave that to Lynde still. But maybe I can try that in another kind of reverse AU.
How did fell in love with Lynde(Human Traum)?
Intense stalking and trying (From Lynde's side) and some very good analysis of how Bai is weak to weakness. Began as Lynde winning over her time and effort to "avoid the nightmares" and slowly started enjoying and longing the company. Bai couldn't fight againt the shy-hottie rizz.
What is Lynde/Traum's job in this AU?
[I am taking a huge leap, so Kraken or anybody can give me a better idea if they want!]
I think Lynde would be loaded, first, because yandere powers. So they would have a sicko lab or something related to induce sleep on themselves so they can spend more time together. I believe Lynde wouldn't outright seek a job because that would take valuable time apart from Bai and that is not something he would allow.
⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆⋆⋆ ˚。⋆୨🎃୧ ⋆ ˚。⋆⋆⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆
Sketches time!
I am just about to explain each sketch? Yes, yes I am.
First one, its the first encounter between the babies. Bai was just going along when she saw a crying child, tormented by a nightmare (Imagine that the generic nightmare is a humongous monter or smth). She comforted the child, they cannot make the nightmare go away since that is a power only the dreamer has. But they can stay until they calm down or wake up.
Then we have the disguise, I did think of changing it to match the dreamcatcher persona but its Sage, if she really were to not need any job and sleep all she wants, they would be 1000000% more relaxed and happy. Still mischevious tho, but the design just has her more happy and without scars/eyebags that came with the OG self story.
Also Lynde reaction to the first time Bai/Sage shows him love irl, bc I can.
And some love doodles too bc I wanted to.
⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆⋆⋆ ˚。⋆୨🎃୧ ⋆ ˚。⋆⋆⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆ ˚。⋆⋆
I may be missing stuff, but I wanted to have this out before the burn out of working too long on something hits. Happy halloween and enjoy yourselves!!

Anatomy of an Exile's Body
Time gushes from the unknown deep, and it is cunningly gentle, river-like, yet silently aching like crimson blood liberating itself from your young wound. It caresses us only to cut us open. It engraves longing into the sinews of our bones, only to make us an exile from the homeland inside our ribs.
It is much too difficult to be pittilessly torn without knowing how to put ourselves together again. We polish the incisions of our flesh with the pretense of normalcy; we possess ourselves with the light of a thousand small suns and only bare the nakedness of our truth under the ebony of the boundless sky.
A body is a memorial to things we never dare forget. From the expanse of the shoulders to the intricacies of the thighs, to rearrange its bones and make it a pyre of something holy. In the crooks of our bodies, we build our own temples. On the lips of our beloved, we exchange a hundred prayers.
The mouth is a cathedral where we take our communion, where the pastor asked us to spit out the wretchedness and to fold our hands to make tender worship out of our blackened fists.
Communions are quite simple: you just kneel despite the shame; you surrender to be loved despite being cruel.
The mind is a fire raging without knowing when to stop until it invades what lies untouched, until it devours the little good that is left. Delusion is a theft I commit from the drawers of borrowed time, a price I covet to exist in the world as a mortal dreamer. I confess the sin, but I do not offer the guilt. I pour without leaving it empty.
The teeth will carve roughness within the crevices of our skin, like the hand of a god sculpting his own sharp-edged stars, like merciless water ravaging the fissures of the earth. But I will remain tender, and beware, for mercy is a capricious thing. It is a luxury I cannot afford to give.
The tongues may pierce the blood with venom and intimidate my silence to sleep, but although hope is a bird that may descend, my courage will always try to rise up from the bottomless pit of wanting.
And look, the earth is spinning under the barrel of the watchful sun. I will lay target to its cosmic scrutiny, but I will not offer my fear nor submit the remnants of any shame. I have already ascended from the tiniest of deaths; I have resurrected into the heavens of my own making.
