Sometimes it’s not the

butterflies that tell you you’re in love, but the

pain.

currently overthinking to the point of a mental breakdown 🎀

been let down by my best friend, i think twice before befriending someone. And when i do make friends, there's anxiety creeping inside me if it's gonna be the same again? I don't wanna make judgements but can you ever really know someone's intentions for you? They are good to me but what if they actually find me annoying?

If I could, I'd say sorry to my bedroom ceiling

For the weird way I stared at it

Thinking of all the times I apologized when I shouldn't have

Aequillibria as what seems to be a debugging algorithm or antivirus is honestly really fascinating to me ngl. especially given that it's seemingly the source, or at least distributor, of all mana and thus all life on lore.

When it said "assessing the state of the shell" it obviously meant Lore, or perhaps the universe/reality at large. but a shell in the context of computers is the part of the system that allows other things (programs and users) to access the operating system.

So how I understand it, mana is the operating system. the universe is the shell. Every individual on Lore is a program (or user) that is accessing and modifying the system via that shell.

In a bunch of quests during the Maleurous questline, we ended up doing text-based adventures where the entire game briefly became a command line interface, which is one of the ways a shell can be presented, the other being a graphical user interface. If we think about the idea of the universe being a shell, reality as we typically know it would be a GUI. That we briefly entered a CLI at multiple points makes me think there was some next-level reality-bending taking place that will probably have even more relevance than it already seems.

I'm mainly just thinking some rather sad thoughts about the ways that this could wind up being a "it was all a dream"-level bit where the events of dragonfable, the entire Reset, only really happen as a simulation on the computers of The Mage. After all, how is a computer actually supposed to reboot the entire universe? The closest it can get is creating a bunch of programs so sophisticated that they simulate the people they were meant to be all the way down to believing they're alive.

Then again, it could also all just be one big fourth wall reference- acknowledging that this universe takes place in- is- a computer game. That seems pretty in-line with the AE style of things.

Just as the glass broke,

and no longer could hold water,

for my drink.

I too fell apart,

pieces scattered among lost dreams and broken hearts,

a tearful mess at uncaring feet.

Until my sorrow turned to rage,

melting the glass,

which cooled over the years,

melding into a vase,

ornate with flowers from my life garden,

displaying warped edges,

lacking symmetry,

holding my colorful history,

yearning for sunny days, and brighter futures,

in a bouquet that had sprouted from me.

you only exist in my dreams now..

I can't stop thinking about how the scene where Dream comes to Hob when Hob's sleeping and tells him he might miss their next appointment will be changed.

This scene was really short, like 3 pages, but I'm curious how it will look like in the show. Dream did miss their last meeting and now he's telling Hob he probably will miss another one? You want me to believe Hob will be like "okay, sure, no prob mate, go ahead"? I understand his reaction in the comic because there was no "sorry I'm late, I was stuck in the aquarium for a little longer than originally". However, in the show there is.

So I wonder how will they change this scene.

I hate that I have to deal with things that aren’t my fault, and heal from the traumas that I’m not the cause.
