#dream me is something else

[sadistic-softie]

Absolutely wild quotes from last night's dream recorded in my dream journal because the dream version of me and the people in my dreams are incredibly unhinged.

"In a big fashion/beauty product store-There was a mannequin in the more open section that they excitedly told me had a special feature. You could look up her skirt. I asked if it had genitals and they said yes, she had very detailed genitals."

"I said “aren't we going the wrong way?” to which the lady rolled her eyes and responded by saying a bunch of things that I couldn't really hear or make out because she was talking so fast, but I noticed that what she had said was written on her light pink shirt in small white text for no reason, so I was trying to stand in front of her to read it and ask her to repeat herself"..."This made her really uncomfortable and I was getting frustrated to the point where I eventually lied and said I was deaf and had an automatic subtitle generator installed into my eyes that would tell me what people were saying, but that it was slow, so I was struggling to understand her. She stopped feeling uncomfortable and started to treat me like a child instead, but didn't repeat herself"

"I had noticed a bug peeking out of the checkout counter and got excited because I like bugs, to which the lady that was guiding me around and the lady who was standing around at the tech area made jokes about me, assuming I was autistic (I'm not autistic in my dreams or in real life), infantilizing me, and laughing at me. I ignored them because I hated them and I was too busy playing with the bug anyways"

"got bored and headed back to the fashion area. And they were working on the mannequin. I started to yell at them, covering the genitals so I don't see, and saying it better look good because I don't wanna see it being worked on, but rather i wanna be able to look at it under the skirt. I quickly changed my mind and looked at it. It was in very low detail, which pissed me off."

"it is heavily implied that I was half naked for the whole entire dream and didn't notice, nor did anyone point it out"

"They laughed about how I was gay, and told me I need to try fucking my college roommate and trying on her clothing, to which I had no idea who they were referring to, because I didn't go to college"

Here's some from another dream I had a few days before:

"In the back area of this, is the kitchen with chefs and storage maintenance staff very much struggling. Food storage conditions are hideous. Staff are knocking things over, spilling food all over the floor and putting it back, and fucking everything up. Gordon Ramsey would have fainted."

"The bar top is dirty and despite the smug staff with their guise of luxury and elegance, nobody else is at the restaurant besides me and whoever I bring because it, in universe, sucks."

"there's another building at the head of the table, but it's an outline because it was demolished. Used to be a pizza place but it sucked harder than the fancy place."

"Had a little group there in the pizza place. I think my mind based them off the cast from one of the Saw movies I watched and decided to make me their friend. I was fucking around making fun of the place. One person in the group asked me something and I answered, to which they responded that it's impossible for  me to lie, also implying that I'm some sort of magical type of honest, to which I responded “I don't understand? What do you mean? I just started a simple fact.” "

"and proceeded to make fun of it all by being way too brutally honest to the staff, saying in these exact words, “well, i need to go home so i can piss and jerk off” to which the staff smiled and responded “there’s bathrooms here" and pointed to the bathrooms. i grinned and said “here? I can do all that here? Ooooooh~” and started running my hands all over their big fancy display screen saying “i can do a lot here! That makes me want to stay!”

"this place sucks and the pizza sucks. I only come for the party and because the building looks amazing, which is unfortunate because nobody ever comes here”

"This dream seems to also subtly hint in my dream subconscious that I have a penis"

"i remember saying something along the lines of the following while unzipping the parachute device slowly while we were in grave danger because it was being difficult but eventually did open: “sometimes, in a dream, you need to do things slowly to get what you want…because if you rush, you fuck it up and you die” it wasn't those exact words, but i remember it was something like that. He looked extremely confused and concerned in response"

resident ghost hugger meets ghost boy

[waitineedaname]

feeling insane about the deep dream extra again. I like to make jokes about shen qingqiu seeing binghe hugging his corpse and deciding to fuck that man to qi deviation, but when I think about the emotions communicated in that moment it's so much more. shen qingqiu just got insight into a moment he wasn't around for, when binghe was grieving him so terribly, when binghe still didn't have answers for sqq's actions, when he kept reenacting a moment of nonsexual physical intimacy that left such a profound effect on his psyche

and shen qingqiu obviously can't change what happened in the past, but what he can do upon waking up is kiss binghe, press his hand to his beating heart, affirm (out loud!! a big deal for shen qingqiu!!!) that he wants him -- communicating with his actions that "I was gone then, but I'm here now, I'm alive, I won't be leaving, I love you and want you even when it hurts"

A Whumper with fire powers branding their Whumpee not just with their name or initials, but their handprints.

Two palms scarred against either side of Whumpee’s neck, fingers wrapping around their throat in a collar that can never be removed. Hands on their sides, just below their broken ribs, a touch that will never relent. Fingers wrapped around their wrists in shackles that won’t be unlocked. A handprint against their face, cupping their cheek that had already suffered so many punches. The small of their back. A single hand just between their shoulder blades. Dragging down their thighs.

Just. Branded handprints.

[vaguely-concerned]

on the one hand I think inner demons could stand to have a bit more romanced rook specific content, but on the other hand the underlying in-built implication that 'yours is the one true voice of comfort and safety in my inner world' is a sentiment and intimacy so way beyond the romantic or the platonic or any secret third thing you could care to name that it makes me lose my entire poor little mind a bit. it's so big and fundamental — near-existential — that in that exact moment at least the distinctions kind of seem irrelevant.

all the people lucanis' mind conjures up along the way are relationships he has that are unavoidably mixed and fraught in some ways even when they're also full of love (they are fraught BECAUSE they're full of love) — the good in them inseparable from things that hurt him at the same time. (it's about: the basic disorganized attachment patterns this poor guy is dragging around with him. careful with those, they're dellamorte heirlooms. what you love also inevitably hurts you and you won't be allowed to have one without the other, you have to surrender parts of your soul to hold on to what little you have left: this is the story up until now.) and the idea that rook isn't that to him — that beneath the fear of wanting them when romanced (which is more its own separate thing because within this psychology, actively wanting something and not just clinging on for dear life to even a meager status quo lest you lose it is in itself dangerous bordering on catastrophic), this is a relationship where there isn't resentment, or guilt, or shame, or dread, or rage, or self-hate, or any of the other emotions that keep him paralyzed, unable to move this way or that. no debts, nothing owed of yourself and your soul's substance except what you can freely and safely and happily give. love and freedom don't coexist — but, I mean, you're almost starting to make me think........... unless...👀👀👀. the unconditional and undramatic 'you are here and I am here with you, you can be exactly how you are right now with me and it's safe for us both even though you're afraid it won't be, I'm not going anywhere' acceptance rook shows him here that he returns to them in the big romance scene, when it's rook who needs it. the way he's just. standing there in the center of it all, like a child desperately helplessly waiting to be found, hiding in the place he hopes you'll know to look first. (rook does know. it's one of the first things they say in there.)

in short the most important room in his little mind palace for the romance is the very first room — the one where rook isn't. where, in fact, rook cannot be, because they disprove the entire structure of the place with their existence and presence in his life. with everyone else he's putting words in their mouths about what they think of him, and rook is the one who actually gets to come in to speak their own words to him — and have him listen. ('he'll listen to you, he always listens to you', 'your voice is a comfort'.) of course rook isn't present anywhere else in there — at the risk of stating the obvious to a tedious degree, they aren't one of the locks, they're bringing the key. in the very finest 'the messenger and the message' sort of way.

Sixteenth Day Event Prompt:

Dream remembers the Butcher Army

“Didn’t anyone ever tell you it’s rude to stare, Dream?”

Techno’s tone was light and teasing but Dream’s cheeks went hot. He hadn’t meant to stare. He kept his eyes on Techno because there was some irrational fear clinging to him that he would disappear into thin air and Dream would be left alone once more. Scoffing half-heartedly, he rolled his eyes and watched as an amused smile broke out across Techno’s face.

“Yeah, but—” There wasn’t an excuse that Dream could give. The truth was embarrassing, that he was so desperate not to be alone, he didn’t want to let Techno out of his sight in this tiny cell. His eyes travelled across Techno’s face. The amusement had softened though one bushy pink eyebrow was quirked as high as it could go. Above it, some of Techno’s hair was plastered to his forehead with sweat, half covering the strange golden tinted scar. “How did you get that?”

Laughing, Techno pushed his hair back, fingers catching in the tangles. The scar went past his hairline and seemed to cover a good portion of his scalp.

“This? Oh, just when I was unfairly executed by havin’ an anvil dropped on my head.”

“Oh.” As soon as he said it, it made sense and Dream felt an odd twinge of guilt that he hadn’t realized that. “Right.”

Techno took a moment to attempt to fix his hair but without a brush it was next to impossible and he gave up.

“It could’ve been worse,” he said with a groan, stretching his arms out. His finger tips came within a few inches of Dream’s face and he had to resist the urge to smack his hand because that was the exact reaction that Techno wanted.

“Worse? You—You almost died.”

Now he smacked Techno’s hand. Techno grabbed his hand just like Dream knew he would because he had done it half a dozen times since he was locked in the cell. This time Dream didn’t jerk his hand away with a curse.

“But I didn’t.” Techno squeezed his hand. “Someone gave me a heads up.”

Dream remembered.

He had heard of the plan to kill Techno, of the group put together to hunt him down. The butcher army and Dream had always assumed Quackity came up with the name. Part of him believed it would go no where. The information and the map had been passed to Techno as a contingency plan because Dream couldn’t imagine the butcher army succeeding, not against Techno. He would have them bleeding on the ground and they would crawl back to lick their wounds. Dream had been sure of it.

When Punz gave him the heads up that Techno had been captured, it felt wrong. He hadn’t believed it. There had been a feeling of panic in his chest. They had planned for this but it still felt unreal. Punz had mentioned the horse as an afterthought and Dream had laughed because now he could believe it. He hadn’t accounted for Techno’s attachment to his animals, hadn’t accounted for the willingness of others to use that against him. Dream should’ve known better.

“Heh,” he said, throat a little tight. “That’s—That’s true.”

Looking over at Techno, Dream could see the anvil falling and hear the sickening crunch and thud before that flash of green-gold light amidst all the panic. He wondered how far the scar stretched across his scalp, if it wound its way elsewhere, to all the places bone had been crushed and skin torn. Dream gave an involuntary shudder and Techno squeezed his hand one last time before letting go, the first time he had been the one to do so.

“Don’t get me wrong, Dream, I’m grateful but I kinda wish the favor you asked for didn’t suck.”

Dream tried and failed to stop the smile and the laugh, the coldness of the memory fading.

“Fuck off, Techno.”

Dying in pain because I was re-reading the SVSSS extras and I came upon this (note this is part 1 due to tumblr allowing only 10 images per post – will release part 2 when I am physically ready to read SVSSS extras again)

One of the saddest things about Shen Jiu's backstory is the fact he doesn't immediately assume Yue Qingyuan abandoned him. It would've been sad enough if he just accepted that Yue Qingyuan would leave him at the first opportunity that arises, but instead Shen Jiu has faith in him. Faith that Yue Qingyuan would never abandon him. He thinks of different reasons why Yue Qingyuan hadn't yet returned. 'Maybe he's injured, maybe he's been trapped, or maybe he's dead even!'

Shen Jiu even resigns himself to finding Yue Qingyuan's 'dead' body and burying him himself, regardless of the fact that he might be getting into more danger. It's only after Shen Jiu had long since escaped the Qiu Household and was under the control of the Wu Yanzi, the demonic Cultivator who taught him, and they meet Yue Qingyuan at the Immortal Alliance Conference did Shen Jiu realise that Yue Qingyuan 'abandoned' him.

We see this in the dialogue that leads up to Shen Jiu accepting that Yue Qingyuan is 'Qi-Ge's' new name.

Before this scene, all the dialogue had listed Yue Qingyuan as 'Qi-Ge' or as 'Yue Qi'. (Qi-Ge when they were on the streets and Yue Qi also when they were on the steets and in the examples shown below)

The scene from earlier where Shen jiu accepts that his 'Yue Qi' is gone makes this all the more heartbreaking.

He asks Yue Qingyuan why he never returned. Simple and straightforward — the most straightforward, dare I say understanding, that Shen Jiu has been to anyone at this point. He simply asks him why he didn't come back, why he went missing for so long, why he's now dressed up as if he were a noble young master and the current Qiong Ding Head Disciple. He's willing to wait for an answer, willing to hear and try and understand. Would he have understood and accepted any excuses, no one truly knows, but Shen Jiu was willing to at least try.

When Yue Qingyuan opens his mouth and only a empty apology in the form of 'I let you down...' comes out, not even a reason or an excuse, Shen Jiu realises something.

He is talking to Yue Qingyuan.

He no longer considers Yue Qingyuan his Qi-Ge. To him, Yue Qingyuan is just like the other spoiled young masters that used to belittle him on the streets, the same stuck up fool born with a golden spoon in his mouth that was born too lucky to understand his pains.

After this scene and after Shen Jiu joins Cang Qiong, I can't find any scene where Yue Qingyuan is referred to as Yue Qi by Shen Jiu ever again.

Shen Jiu realises that he would have preferred Yue Qi, his Qi-Ge, was dead.

Shen Jiu genuinely cared and trusted Yue Qingyuan (or Yue Qi to be more accurate). In the scene where the other street kids where being attacked by Qiu Jianluo, Shen Jiu is laughing and states that they deserved it, clearly taking joy in their misfortune, but the moment Yue Qi gets involved, Shen Jiu becomes concerned.

He chases after Yue Qi, chases after him as the other goes to save another boy who Shen Jiu only moments ago had been laughing at for 'getting what he deserved'. This was also the very same boy who Shen Jiu had been fighting with for his begging spot.

Shen Jiu clearly does not show any level of care for the other street kids, yet he shows an exception foe Yue Qi. He willingly chases Yue Qi when the boy goes to save a boy Shen Jiu hates. He willingly waits for Yue Qi to return despite being tortured for so long with no hope in sight. He willingly gives Yue Qi the opportunity to give him an excuse for why he never came back and seemingly abandoned him so he could join the 'elites' on Cang Qiong and become its future Sect Leader.

People say that Yue Qingyuan shows favouritism to Shen Jiu, but I dare say that Shen Jiu shows an equal amount of favouritism to Yue Qi.

If anyone else dared to do something similar to Shen Jiu, Shen Jiu absolutely would've murdered them at first sight. Yet Shen Jiu has allowed Yue Qi all of this.

Shen Jiu doesn't accept any of Yue Qingyuan's attempts at an empty apology, because he's tired of getting hurt. Hurt from giving Yue Qi chances and giving him time, and recieving nothing but empty guilt filled apologies.

Apologies that feel more like lies to help sooth some guilt that Yue Qingyuan has for his past than actual remorse for betraying Shen Jiu. Yue Qingyuan believes that his actual reason would only be insulting to Shen Jiu, but if he had just broken for a mere moment and told Shen Jiu even a glimpse of the truth, then I guarantee you that Shen Jiu's intelligence would lead to him figuring everything out in one hour most.

However, Yue Qingyuan does not break his formal mask of distance politeness, does not cry and tell Shen Jiu he was quite literally unable to leave and save him, does not tell him about how Yue Qingyuan thought the other had died.

Shen Jiu simply wishes the corpse of his dead friend would stop apologising for something he never explains and would simply leave him alone.

Yet, Yue Qingyuan (Yue Qi) is a wound that will never stop bleeding.

He wants Yue Qingyuan to leave him behind again — this time he demands it of Yue Qingyuan.

However, Yue Qingyuan promised himself he would never abandon Shen jiu again.

Extremely quick and dirty speedpaint of a dream I had last night

[beanghostprincess]

Actually thinking more about Reiju's only sin being a woman and... Going into more depth, I know that logically/canonically she's smart and empathetic enough to not want to be in her brothers' place. She doesn't want to be an heir/ successor or follow the family's footsteps at all. She knows they're bad. She sees herself as such, too, unable to change/be different like Sanji was. She doesn't think she can bring her mother's kindness to this world the way Sanji does, so she sticks to what she knows, whether it is to protect Sanji too or to accept her fate.

BUT (and bear with me for a second here, I know I have been watching too much Succession lately) we also do know that during her childhood she didn't do anything to help Sanji from the abuse. She watched it happen because that was the way things went there and because she knew what would happen to her if she did. Of course, she ends up helping him escape and taking care of him but-- I'm just thinking, for a tiny little moment, about how she's actually the oldest.

She should be the heir. She should be the person everybody views Ichiji as. She should be considered the most responsible. The smartest. The strongest one. The one who should take the throne. And she doesn't even want it now, but what about back then? What about when she did have some little, tiny faith/hopes for her family and what they did? She sought approval and naively thought "my father is going to offer me the place I rightfully deserve, right?" blindly seeking acceptance like all of them did.

But no, because she might be the oldest but Ichiji is a man. She might be the strongest, the smartest, the most reliable... But she is not a man. And I believe there must have been a time when she expected her destiny to be something more, and once she realized she was just a woman in their eyes... Well, we know what happened.

I just keep finding similarities between The Vinsmokes (OP) and The Roys (Succession) and perhaps my headcanon of Reiju being similar to Shiv has gone a bit too far. But the scene where Shiv is like "This is real?" when Logan promises she'll be the CEO and he goes "This is real. Remember this. The slant of light" for it to be a lie later is something I fear could have happened with Reiju and Judge if Oda had given us more content,,,,

sleep deprived dust can't recognize what's dream and what's real when he goes in and out of consciousness so i think dust is allowed to be incredibly reckless when he's awake but thinks he's in a dream. he will kill whoever passes by him (or attempt to. for him it's an instict to shoot bones anyways.) he will drink 4 bottles of alcohol just because he thinks its just a lucid dream. have incredibly loud conversations with phantom paps because he's asleep so nobody will hear him talk. or just have loud ass breakdowns because again he thinks he's asleep!!! nobody's gonna know what he gets up to in his dreams. and until someone (probably phantom paps) tells him that he's not asleep and this is reality he won't realize until he's done something really reckless

horror is seconds away from exploding dust's skull open with his magic while dust is trying to strangle him and FINALLY phantom paps tells him he's awake and dust snaps out of it. killer is walking around the house with bones sticking out of him like pins on a sewing pattern (casually too. another day in the life for him) and he just asks dust what that was about. dust just gets off of horror and shrugs his shoulders with an idk. and then walks away. this is the 6th time its happened this month
