There's smth rly fun abt having stories based off of dreams because you just have a bunch of dream based worldbuilding that you just sorta have to work with now. Like oh a ring of infinite dragons run through the earth eternally consuming eachother? Guess I have to explain that now. Also that's sick as hell why didn't I think of that while awake

#rat rambles #oc posting #that damn dream story has captivated me deeply every since Ive had it even if I havent rly done much with it #I have been brainstorming some stuff relating the worldbuilding today tho #mostly what the actual deals of two main characters are #aka grim and the unnamed doggy #because Ive taken stabs at explaining them a couple times but have never rly landed on anything I rly care for #and theyre like The reason this dream stuck with me so hard so that is important #long story short theyre both god created beings that have been in a eternal brawl for what for them has been about 5 years for them #externally its been much much longer since anytime one of them successfully defeats the other they both go dormant for abt 50 years #they dont feel any of that bonus time tho so for them theyve been at this for ages with little to no break #grim usually wins since she was specifically trained to be the victor of the two everytime #but she isnt guaranteed a win by any means and has lost at least once #she likes to not think abt those times tho and pretend they never happened because if she acknowledged them then shed have to think through #the implications of that and she does not have the emotional or mental stability to be able to handle that #shes like. 16 to be clear.#the dog is about 21 or so Id say? Im still figuring things out so idk for sure yet #the basic premise of the story is that after so long of fighting they've both been gradually getting weaker and more exhausted each time #and after one iteration where they were both fighting high in the sky the two in the next iteration find themselves fallen very far apart #grim spends the story trying to find the dog and accidentally getting adopted along the way #and the dog ends up allowing some children to take them home so they can hide and recover and they end up getting attached #it's mostly just abt the two learning to exist as individuals and not weapons and finally beginning to process the trauma this whole cycle #has left them with and eventually breaking the cycle and chosing to stay with their respective new families #this was all stuff that was actually like in the dream which is why it stuck with me so hard but also that dream was mean to me for #dropping all of that and only giving one character a name. god.#tbf its kind of made up for by it being in like the coolest scene in the dream since it was grim naming herself that while talking to the #dog at the end since she had been referred to as a grim reaper or as just a reaper in the dream before that point so it was like a moment #of defiance and also claiming an identity for herself that wasnt just her title #shes a silly billy she also has a scythe that can shoot lasers
