An intellectual dreamer is someone who dares to think beyond the boundaries of today and imagines a world that could be. 🌌✨ They see possibilities where others see limits, constantly seeking knowledge and pushing the limits of their imagination. While grounded in intellect, they are free to dream without restrictions, weaving together ideas, curiosity, and creativity.
For them, the world is not just what it is—it’s what it could become. Every book read, every conversation had, and every thought explored brings them closer to the vision of something new. A dreamer's mind is a place where abstract ideas take shape, and with every idea, they take one step closer to changing the world.
So, here's to those who dream big, think deeply, and believe that knowledge has the power to reshape our reality. 🌱💡 Let's not be afraid to dream wildly and think profoundly. Our best ideas might just be the spark that lights the way forward. 🌟
#intellectual dreamer#visionary minds#dream big think deep#knowledge is power#imagination unbound#abstract to reality#beyond boundries#creative curiosity#dare to dream#ideas change the world#wisdom and wonder#future thinkers#innovative minds#dreamers and doers#spark the future

kdj trying to kill himself after seeing the OD is such a visceral and gut wrenching part of the book—
“Something was wrong. A blade… I, I needed to find a blade.” <- this scene (chapter 515) actually broke my heart, i genuinely felt sick reading it. he’s so desperate to die that it’s honestly palpable, it’s like finally seeing that truth behind the snarky mask kim dokja always wears. it took me until this point to realize that every time he tried to sacrifice himself for his companions, it wasn’t just a well thought out plan but a true, genuine suicidality and the acceptance that he might not come back. that he isn’t worthy of living a good, happy life with a happy ending. (which maybe i’m just slow, but i really fell for dokja’s lies, every single time i thought to myself “everything’s going to be fine because he has a plan to survive this,” and almost every single time i was right. except for the end i suppose.)
and fuck, it hits so, so hard.
#tw suicide#like i know thats already a big theme in the book but in this case i feel the need to very explicitly tag that#orv#omniscient reader's viewpoint#orv spoilers#kim dokja#the oldest dream#i wasnt planning on writing a sad post today but alas.#‘are orv fans allergic to being happy’ yes sorry#dont go into my replies like ‘you’re thinking too deep about this’ or whatever#i know i am!! i know its probably not that deep#i know that he probably did see himself having a happy ending probably#but when i think about his character#and when i think about his actions#i cant help but see a bit of that sort of undercurrent of ‘i don’t belong’#that sort of undercurrent of ‘i want to die’#his character feels relatable to me#take that statement as you will i guess#not that ive sacrificed my life for anyone#lol#but that passive sort of way he approaches the topic#all jokes and smiles and such??#and other people are like ‘uhm. no i think you need help.’ and he cant see it#thats so????#he needs therapy#*i* need therapy#sorry for traumadumping in main orv tag LOL#feel free to get mad at me in replies i understand#this could be a total mischaracterization of kdj#probably is tee bee atche but OH WELL. also i hit tag limit oops. 30 tags is the limit apparently

So i had a dream last night which wasn't a nightmare and i even remember most of it! which is super exciting. I barely ever remember dreams that are just simply that so this is a fairly rare occasion for me.
It was weird tho
But it was.. i don't even know what it was so let me ramble about it in the tags a bit
#there was this bioluminescent and also biotoxic creature in a city at night#it was bipedal sort of humanoid shaped but with definitive deep sea features#it had that transparent skin and flesh and body with bioluminescing highlights#which i have no idea how it worked because the entire dream took place in a city enviroment on very much dry land but it's a dream innit#the face was definitely not human more a jumble of fishy features#it was gorgeous btw in a humanoid monster sort of fascinating way#it had this weird feel to it that it's something very old that should not be here now.. some sort of reminiscence of a bygone era#i might try to draw it but i don't know how successful i'd be to be honest#anyway so i was part of a group (don't know what kind exactly) and i never seen any of them i just knew they existed#and there was this innate knowledge that the creature was kind of hunting or more like luring us but we also were hunting it#i don't know if it did something to us before or we just had this unexplainable pull towards it but we definitely were fixated on it#and it was supposed to be a big threat even just by existing and walking around but also would have been bad if it was dead#but i don't know why was it so bad because the “toxicity” of the creature wasn't lethal it just made you stuck in a blissful delirious stat#just by being too close to it and which in most cases would fade when it moved away so the other alternative felt way worse#cuz if it would die something else would have gotten loose which would have been worse than the delirium#it was some sort of unstoppable deadly madness i think.. at least that was what i felt the dream eluded to#and i think we wanted to neutralize it somehow but we had no idea how to avoid disaster that surely would come if it dies#but it would have also revitalize nature on a basically divine scale by giving it's body back to it so there was this dilemma the whole tim#but none of us would have any answers so we just followed this inner draw regardless of the uncertainty#and the entire dream was basically us lureing the creature somewhere but simultaniously it was somehow luring us in as wel#to the same spot#it was a vast moonlit fieald outside of city bounds surrounded with tall dark trees and the sky was littered with stars#and a sharp cliff to one side#so we arrived there and we were standing on opposite sides and look towards each other#but looking into the creatures eyes literally woke me up#there was a noise it made and i know i understood it as words inside the dream but i can't remember what it was after waking just the noise#and that was it#it wasn't long i think tho it felt that way

Ok, so I had this dream last night right? And it was mostly nonsensical and weird and silly, but there was this moment...
#ellennart#dream diary#fairy#dreams#pirate#I was the winged fairy girl at this point during a big battle#someone sliced me right down the front through my corset and dress#it was inspired I think by that fight in Zorro between Zorra and Elena#except NOT flirty dude was trying to kill me and sliced a wound down my chest#not super deep but still#and then this other guy#the one in the drawing#defected from the enemy side killed the other dude and very distressed tried to help me#which involved a very funny moment of him pulling my hands back to see the wound and realising my corset had been cut clean through#and us both getting extremely embarrassed and him pulling the corset back together and telling me to keep pressure on it#literally the most YA romantic comedy moment I've ever experienced#I think the main influences of this dream were that I recently watched a youtube reaction vid of someone watching Zorro for the first time#A drawing someone I follow did of that popular YA fae novel that I've never read#and looking at tangled concept art#and actually definitely the first aid course I did this week#because I remember them talking about how you need to cut clothing off someone to put the defib pads on their chest#and I was uncomfortable with the thought of someone having to do that to me#AND the fact I was paired with a cute guy I'd never met and we had to practice putting each other in the recovery position#which was SUPER awkward#so clearly my brain was like You know what would be fun? an even MORE awkward and painful scenario!#but make it fantasy!

i love how the moment jaime expresses real autonomy and conflicting desire both of them start to immediately reject him in some form
#the thing is that they do not love him enough as a person#like as a real independent individual#and he knows this like he dreams this he is aware of this#deep inside of his subconscious#and it impacts his behavior drastically#bc he does revolve his worth and identity around his use to them#this is also part of y losing his hand is so brutal for him at an emotional level#bc that is what defines his use to them in his eyes#he is cersei’s sword he is tywin’s perfect son#he is also tyrions powerful big brother#he does not think there is hope for him as his own individual#not anymore#like the protective figure meta he needs to be needed bc then they have to love him#the things we do for love etc etc#bc no one else can love him atp and he himself especially cannot#and he really does cut the final source of love with the tysha confession#and then tyrion ‘waddles away’#and almost trips#the wording and the kinesthetic imagery#nonetheless i cannot help but again note his absence in the weirwood dream#overdosing on hopium

Recently for a few months, ive been having dreams about going out and getting food. Just leaving my house and often the food in question im looking for is cake. But i usually can never find or get what i am looking for and I wake up hungry!
So yesterday my sister took me out to the store and I realized I was no only an adult man, my abuser absent at home and also I had a gift card with 13 dollars on it...
Maybe life CAN be dream,,,
#I said in the car something along the lines of how im pretty sure im having those dreams becauseZ#im yearning for my agency in adult life that i still am not allowed to have at nearing 21. So its coming out through like..#the simplistic adult activities like going out and just buying food I want#things most adults with freedom not under the thumb of a bad household take for granted or dont even think about#and my sister looked at me and said '..that's deep'#LMAO#i dunno. i think stories usually have big defining moments but for me its just...#buying a cake#like i always wanted 🥺#happy april fools!

#i think the thing about secret lives of mormon wives that bothers me#is i have heard so many people endure so much harm#from the high demands of the lds church#i have developed so many harmful thought patterns from the high standards i was raised with#they're not inherently /bad/ standards#but in my neighborhood this was a hardcore high demand religion#you're all in or you're not#and i had a deep deep testimony and was a big fan of following the rules#so deconstruction was So Hard#but mormon momtok is over here clearly not following the rules#i can't place a moral judgement on stuff#other than by report these people are toxic af#but i! am! frustrated!#that they can dress and act the way they do and still feel comfortable calling themselves mormon#where i and many other people i know#were like constantly occupying this space of spooky-mormon-hell-dream-from-the-musical#every time we wanted to not follow a rule

Try as they may but they will not be anything close to Splatocalypse's resolution with Pearl demanding the cameras were on her so that Marina could cry peacefully
#the way Pearl shows affection is so sweet and underrepresented#she's so casual about it#it bothers me that so many people miss it and think she doesn't care#no!! she does!! she's shocked that Marina didn't think they would spend the holidays together and that she didn't know Pearl always included#her in Team Family#it recontextualized the best friend line: Marina isn't her best friend; she's more than that#like there's her best friend tier and a Marina tier above it#the Chaos/Order misunderstanding is another great example#Marina thought Pearl wanted to break up and abandon her whereas Pearl ALWAYS (again) included her because to her that's a GIVEN#she never EVER considers that Marina might not be a part of her plans or dreams or anything else#she made sure Marina wasn't filmed while she cried out of joy and relief and comforted her throughout#that's a beautiful dynamic and teeth rotting#maybe it depends on whether or not you can relate to them to see it#anyways back to the topic Splatoon 3 really tried to have that moment and failed#like you're not OTH gtfo you haven't earned this#Big Man didn't seem THAT bothered by their hatred and they didn't seem to still have a grudge#also it bothers me that they didn't pull a Pearl and say not to film him while telling him to cry it out#they're blunt and protective so how come they're okay with it? or maybe to them vulnerability shouldn't be hidden#text#ondina's text posts!#splatoon#splatoon 3#grand festival#deep cut#off the hook#splatoon 2

it's all fun and games typing up a silly, rickety little au idea in the tags of someone else's post and then suddenly you find yourself expanding on the world-building and plotting out interconnected stories for characters you swore would only make background appearances and your brain is On Fire with the need to write even when you know you can't commit to yet another doomed wip
#the terror#this is 100% about the fucking hartving tech!averse jirv/librarian!hartnell au from yesterday bc IT WON'T LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE#thinking about a ficlet detailing how bridlgar met#peggles is a delivery driver who does the rounds dropping off the library's stationary orders and john's the one in charge of receiving#and they strike up a friendship over terrible stationary puns and eventually start dating when john introduces harry to classic lit#thinking even more about a joplittle sequel where after ned shows up soaking wet the first time and is immediately smitten#by thomas “Just Being A Decent Person” jopson; he starts volunteering at the library just so he can get closer to jops#(like the loser he is; bc why ask someone out directly when you can just hang around in their orbit and hope they notice you noticing them)#but the more time he spends at the library the more he comes to love it; and ends up volunteering to read to children on his free weekends#(my tumblr homies know exactly where i'm headed with this bc i am so transparent my mom might as well have called me “window”)#and jops; despite his better instincts; gets so turned on after hearing ned do voice impressions for fictional crayons while reading to#a bunch of enraptured rugrats that he decides then and there he absolutely can't NOT fuck ned senseless the second he gets his hands on him#meanwhile for the main fic; jirv and tartnell are both absolutely disgustingly in love but are also completely clueless#as to how to go about expressing interest in each other bc while i imagine jirv not being as repressed in this as he normally is in fanon;#he still hasn't actually figured out he's Big Time Gay™ yet and#tartnell on the other hand is both extremely attracted to and intimidated by the handsome; aloof yet kind; bible-quoting scotsman#who's decided to adopt him as his personal apple support technician#despite the fact that tartnell knows little more about iphones than jirv (seeing as he's been using android since smartphones took off)#god i'm in so deep about this stupid little au i've dreamed up that i just want to yell about it for hours on end#and despite knowing i'll likely NEVER get around to writing it; it is just... taking up Brain Space... that i already Do Not Have

Have I told you guys about the fucked up dreams I've been having recently? I've been having some fucked up dreams lately. yeah <3
#sorry this is mostly about a dream I had yesterday and if I just say it it's gonna sound so creepypasta-y#like I have a lot of creepypasta-y dreams it's just how my dreams have always worked hehe#It wasn't fucked up because it was scary or anything it was fucked up because of how I felt in it#how to describe it...like I was like almost too calm and accepting of my fate#like okay previous dream context (whether this was context from another actual dream or just. lore my brain made up idk)#I got sentenced to execution. It's...really hard to describe the context without it sounding really silly.#like it was a part of some sick game that a person planned out and it all ended in a white maze room#I was told I could either choose to go free from a month and then be collected for execution or be trapped in the room forever but alive#and I chose to be executed. everyone knew. we all even had silly inside jokes about it ehe#like my friends were picking music out for it. it was really silly hehe!#but the person who came to collect me for execution was so striking. she was like. almost literally a doll#A big doll!! Like she was so so tall!! she actually shrank to be more my size as the dream went on. she was strikingly pretty#and kind. she was so kind#we walked around and said goodbye to everyone. she made friendly conversation. she guided me through how everything was going to go#god the tenderness of it all makes me sqee a lil aha. a little fucked up I think#it was self-inflicted you see. Rose bushes over a tall fence. that's why she was so tall. to help me over#I caught on pretty quickly that she was a person who decided to stay in the room instead of being executed#that's what becomes of them. they become subservient to the game master. they're made to collect the ones who chose to leave and die later#she told me that deep down she kinda wished that doing this for him would convince him to make her human again and to let her be free#I told her that it was bullshit and that he'd never do that. and she was like. yeah. but a girl can dream right?#another one of those dreams that have lines that stick out in my head as well...okay one of them was just really funny#'Hey guys' 'I'm being executed today :D' 'oh. okay!'#dhdhdh#'It's scary isn't it?' 'yeah. it is' 'Well. It'll all be over soon'#like gwah. gwahhhh#'There is something wrong inside of you' levels of impact on my psyche I reckon#me and the doll girl kissed a few times. it was weirdly quite natural. nothing intensive#but I think we both had an understanding that we weren't seeing eachother again and we cared about eachother#it was so greatly platonic and nice. yearning for something I will never experience aha ^^;#Idk if I even want to be in any sort of QPR but it was definitely nice in this dream

//Oh wait, little worlds inside people's dreams. I think Lambda's would look and function a bit like an N64 platformer.
#//his is an N64 platformer type dream world and on the surface/top level it's normal if not weird and kind of cluttered with a big building-#//in the center. but the more you go into the 'levels' it's gets weird in the bad way? perhaps even scarier?#//not in the 'ooh generic scary story about a cheery game not being what it is'#//it's more like 'oh. this guy has a lot of problems he does not like to talk about and the reason why this place looks like this is bc its#//- his brain's attempt at decluttering/unpackaging he does/thinks about when he sleeps and his dream world is literally a-#//-personification of how deep down he tries to bury those problems'#//idk this is kind of a tired idea that i may expand on tomorrow but listen#//muses poking around dream world threads. that would be cool! dbhnjmd#backup log {ooc}

what I like about 7s is you can tell when they are fuckboys unless you have a room temperature IQ. maybe it is a natural talent that only I have (I really doubt this but I dont wanna insult ppl who've been victimized by 7 fuckboys). however it is just so obvious to me when a 7 dude is a fuckboy trying to taste all his options vs. when he is ripe and ready for commitment. the way that 7s show you bluntly when they are bored with you by ignoring you or only responding with one liners is actually a good thing. I find 7s to be very transparent, very obvious about what they want from you even if they don't directly communicate it with words. they are not capable of leading me on because they never give me the impression that they think I'm special in the first place. they never immerse themselves in my world and make me feel special because they're too preoccupied with their own.
meanwhile other types of men cough cough withdrawns are confusing as hell to the point it feels like manipulation and deception. they can larp like they are all innocent when they are the world's biggest fuckboys. they become deeply connected to you as a friend, they show you that they have a crush on you that they are too scared to act on, and they act like they're ready for exclusivity to get you into bed when often they are not. with words and with showing a genuine interest in your world, they make you think you are extremely special to them, yet many of their actions (or lack thereof) imply that you are not.
no one talks about how 7s with the 1 line can grow up and develop an intense dutifulness towards relationships. the meme is that 7s struggle with commitment but in my experience it really depends on the 7 in question. relational commitment issues are a lot more complicated than "lol 7". any type can have them and its usually rooted in trauma or plain old spiritual weakness.
see my tags for more
#7s struggle with committment towards a lot of things but relationships arent necessarily one of them#i see it like its a bar#in a video game#and the 7 bar for “things you struggle to commit to” is SUPER BIG#but many 7s consume that struggle to commit on non relationship things#like their job their work ethic their dreams their good habits (they dont commit to these things)#7s also have a capacity to commit which is small#but they can develop it to be bigger over time#and many choose to spend the little capacity for commitment they do have on relationships#anyways a problem is that 7s can lack the ability to make you feel special because they dont like going too deep emotionally#ive had this problem with my bf and been like “im leaving” but then he was always like noo stay#and i was like well thats the first time anyones wanted me to stay#all these withdrawn dudes made me feel like a princess but it turned out to be shallow words & platitudes because they didnt want to persis#actions are all that really matters and this is what assertive types understand that withdrawns dont#the tradeoff is that assertives are insensitive fucktards who make you feel like theyre always thinking about something better than you#assertives literally never have time for you. even if theyre sitting inside scrolling thru phone all day. its a psychological thing#their thing is always better... more worthy of attention than your thing.#intimacy is difficult with an assertive type. regardless of what your type is#3s and 8s guilty of this as well#im sure ive made my partners in the past feel this way... like theyre unimportant and im always thinking of better things#and i make my bf feel this way sometimes too#he complains#as do I#lmao

saw this in the previews and thought "his hubris is immense" which is hilarious to me
#keroro#u dont understand this really is the duality of a doormat. oh my god hes perfect#his dreams of domination are big but theyre all rooted in the people who treat him worst Liking Him and being able to control that#whats that? hes a big baby whowants to take over planets for a sense ofcontrol? and he doesntActually want it which is why hes not doing it?#where his real dreams deep down are just people thinking highly of him and being able to indulge in his interest? and friends?#but also hes completely out of his depth AND his hubris is immense so it comes out like this?#attempting to rule over others to be his friends because he's still struggling to right his wrongs#natsumis constantly hitting him and berating him (called him useless 2 eps ago) so Of Course he's like this with her specifically.#with keroro it's really come for the comedy stay for the character exploration huh#ANYWAY I LOVE THE DARKER SIDE OF KERORO I DONT WANNA JUST SEE HIM CUTE OR CRYING OR HURTING I ALSO WNNA SEE THIS!#you gotta be a Little fucked up to want to be in charge n subject urself to that. hes smug. hes selfish. and i love him for it. its a farce#analysis

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 223/?
Tina Turner - GoldenEye (1995)
"You'll never know
How I watched you from the shadows as a child,
You'll never know
How it feels to be the one who's left behind.
You'll never know the days,
The nights, the tears, the tears I've cried;
But now my time has come
And time, time is not on your side!"
#favourite lyrics#tina turner#rip#goldeneye#bono#the edge#1995#james bond#wildest dreams#might seem an odd choice of Tina song to celebrate her life‚ what with the wealth of massive success she leaves; i mean River Deep Mountain#High? Proud Mary? The Best? all bangers‚ all absolute masterpieces (I am particularly in love with River Deep which I would consider a#perfectly constructed single). but this is slightly an indulgent thing on my part; rather‚ i should say‚ a sentimental choice#as slightly feral teens‚ my bff and i would drive around north wales late at night (there isn't much to do here when you're an angsty angry#teen) smoking and listening to cds we made blasted as loud as possible on her car stereo. i think the goldeneye theme was on p much#every cd we ever made; we both knew the lyrics back to front‚ we'd both scream sing along and try to hit those incredible lingering notes#and quavering vocals like Tina (obviously never doing it at all justice). I'm not sure why we loved the song so much. partly bc we were of#an age to have been around for Goldeneye as a film release and game and it was a pretty big deal‚ reinvigorating the bond#franchise after something like a decade or more of slow decline into irrelevance (don't @ me i genuinely enjoy the Timothy Dalton films but#the fact is the franchise was dead in the water by 95). more likely it was because it is simply such an infectiously good banger of a song#it's everything a bond theme should be: Big‚ dramatic‚ campy‚ a little bit eerie‚ quasi operatic. it's a whole mysterious narrative#delivered in 3 and a half minutes in a pitch perfect vocal from a legend at the height of her powers. i actually didn't know until today#that it was written by the U2 twosome (but it makes sense and i can hear it now) but regardless they wrote it specifically for Turner: for#her own specific delivery and style. it's possible to sing this song a dozen different ways following the same lyrics and music and end up#with a dozen entirely different songs. but only one was the right choice; Tina's. a dark velvet glove on a cold hard gun. there was only#ever one tina turner‚ and so it should have been. rip to a true icon.
