yeah this was just going to be Tommy's design but I wanted to add Alex as well and it turned into. this

Seriously tho, I really like how Tommy and Alex came out, and I pray to god Tumblr doesn't ruin the colors urgghhhjh

also added a little Jennifer as a sneak peek for her final design ehe :3

and some sitcom au shenanigans with Jinx and Clyde on the verge of throwing hands every 7 minutes and jinx being every stray cat that you feed and comes back every night to scream at you for food (in their case, it's canned peaches, but Alex made the holy invention of peach and peanut butter sandwiches to save time) he has to be fast so the neighbors won't wonder what the noise is and see an eldritch cat in Alex's backyard lol

mom says it’s my turn on the writing

Clara’s life for to long had been just been four white walls. Four white walls and lies.

So many lies.

The sound of music had plagued her since she had been brought to this damned facility. She had learned to despise sound. Her fellow patients had screamed and screamed to no avail. Nobody was coming for them. Whatever the employees had been told, they were convinced their screams of agony were normal. Locked in a madhouse with a monster in the same walls.

Clara had lost hope.

And then they had arrived.

An employee, conducting an interview. There was something off about them from the beginning. How tired they were, how their eyes seemed yellow under the goggles. But maybe her mind was playing tricks on her. She’d had learned not to trust it a while ago.

They were the first modicum of kindness she had seen since the caretakers had kidnapped her and dragged her into this hellhole. She was skeptical of them, but played along anyway.

It could’ve been a lie, but this place was built on lies anyway. What was one more?

————————————————

The alarms blared, the lights screaming red. Clara shot out of her sleep. The asylum was on lockdown, emergency alert. She slammed her hands over her ears in an attempt to drown out the noise.

The metal door behind her creaked open. Her brain went on high alert. That never meant something good. She turned around to see-

A monster.

Tall and boney with green wings and lopsided horns. Covered in purple eyes, each one locked on her. She stumbled backwards in fear. She was about to die. Was this the Angel of death, coming for her broken mind? Her breaths went ragged and quick as it extended its claw to her.

And it spoke.

“Are you ok?”

The voice was high pitched and squeaky, identical to the snippets of training tapes she could hear through the walls. She would’ve laughed if she wasn’t so scared.

“Who are you?” She asked, shaking in fear.

The air seemed to blur for a moment, and something glitched. For the briefest moment, she saw the employee from the interview. Could it-

“What happened to you?”

“It’s hard to explain”

Clara stood up, legs still shaking from fear.

It was probably a lie. But in a place built on lies, she’d take a kind one for a change.

————————————————

It had been years since Clara had been broken out of that asylum. She had tried to carve out whatever life she could in Eastridge afterwards. She would’ve left, but she didn’t have anywhere else to go.

Alex had filled her in on what had happened. Alex willams. The employee from the interview, the Angel of silence. They used to be human, but their proximity to a certain Eastridge demon had transformed them into what they were now, similar to how radiation breaks down cells and reshapes them.

How and why they were so comfortable with abandoning their humanity, Clara would never knew.

She had developed a bit of a new identity to hide from what remained of the foundation. Lankmann was dead, Alex had killed him themself (“beat the old man to death with a crowbar, you should’ve seen it!” The smiling snatcher had told her. Apparently its name was Clyde. Such a simple name for a demon), but she could never be to careful. Dying her hair and taking her wife’s last name was the best she could do (it’s amazing what living through hell on earth will make you realize about yourself).

She still had Alex’s tapes up in her attic, locked away so she wouldn’t have to touch the memories again. Her son was incredibly curious about them though, and it worried her. He didn’t need to know about velidgun or the asylum or the hell she had to go through to get here.

It was a small lie, but this place was built on lies, and she’d tell as many as it takes to keep Tommy safe.

I will go into further depth in ramble form eventually but the fact that a) the description for DOAI vol 1 most likely tells/predicts of what'll go down in the next volume, and b) Simon and Flock are my absolute fucking favorite skrunkly blorbos, I know it's most likely too early but my hopes and prayers are that the "someone you never thought you'd see again" is Simon

And with that in mind, I just think it'd be really fucking funny if DOAI Vol 2 were to open up with what is basically this but with Tommy and the Flock:

[spookmuth]

Y’know considering that Tommy is basically the main character of Doai I think it’s odd I’ve never seen any art of them, what do you guys think Tommy looks like? I want to see anything like art, picrews, photos???? I need to know

[gravemations]

So I been thinking about something lately about Tommy Merrick

Anyone else find it wired that pastra made the chose to make the Tommy side-plot almost all out side of the videos excepted for the first part of Vol 0?

It is a very interesting chose to do this, it dose a very good job at disconnected the events of the tapes and Tommy to show time has past and what we are seeing.

With the latest information we have about Tommy is from Vol 1 Foundation Archive, where we know Tommy has been to Eastridge before and knows someone he has not seen in a long time.

Also interesting he have had no idea what the character Tommy looks like yet. Of course I can be overthink with pov characters usaily not having an appearance but still its interesting.

Also the fact that Tommy knows where the foundation was without knowing the address is another fact.

So I have the thought process that the reason we know nothing about Tommy is because they are a character we either already know or is connected to another character in some way.

( My personal head-cannon is that he is Alex's Cousin but that is just my interpretation and like no evidence )

Of course it is too early in the seirse for me to guess at the moment but I just thought I share my dumb brain thoughts.

But yeah I will be very exsitied to see where the next entry takes us when it dose come out.

Despite your increasing fear of this whole ordeal, you reach out for another tape. Instead of grabbing another crudely labelled VHS, you pull out a record. Written in almost calligraphy, it simply says "Dreams of an Insomniac" with "LyraHorrorz" written in smaller font beneath it. You assume that's who wrote the music. You hesitantly place it in the record player.

It skips a few beats as it starts to play an unfamiliar song.

ASKBLOG IS NOW OPEN.

Tommy Merrick, at the Veldigun: I’m way too sleep deprived to be dealing with your negativity right now.

[secret-spirit]

Random as hell idea Doai sitcom au gang (Alex, Clyde, 66, Kruger, Simon, The Flock, maybe Tommy too) doing Karaoke inside Simon's barn after he found a small karaoke box

Just episodic ideas maybe

[clingyduoapologist]

Ok so like:

gremlin creature who is also a channel mascot named Clyde causes chaos in local community. People shook.

It’s called Dreams of an Insomniac, an analog horror series by hit youtuber Pastra, well known for getting kidnapped by honorary Tumblr Sexyman, Lankmann.

Norge series isn’t as popular as other things and really just started but the main character is named Tommy, cool right?

Also coming up in the series is a gaint bird called “The Flock” and a 14 ft. music lover demon named “Winfrey”. But that laters probably. Idk yet.

Don’t wanna wait for DOAI, there’s some really great analysis content on different types of video games and Analog horror series, like The Walton Files and It steals. There’s also the Lankmann ARG you can watch and learn a lot about.

Basically, Pastra is a really great content creator, absolutely recommend.

People really want me to never sleep soundly again huh

[shattered-lazuli]

Finally finished my design for Survivor!Alex, cuz I can't have a hyperfixation without making a shit ton of aus in my head-

Anyways, it's my little copium au where Alex is actually alive during the time Tommy comes back to Eastridge after watching the tapes, but they're a biiiit messed up.

they make me violently ill

(no yall aren't getting context for this)

Dreams of an Insomniac Voice Claims Part 2.5: Other's OCs and the weird ones

Little intermission video between the 2nd vc post and the last one, featuring some other doaiblrites' ocs and some of my blorbos that didn't really fit into either of my oc videos!

Bee belongs to @silverstudios

Scout belongs to @mapalssyrup

Tommy Merrick - at this point, Tommy is kinda an oc, mostly because everything we know about them is based on speculation, but anything to put my boy in the spotlight

The Twins (Mollie & Archer) - because both were created using one little veldigoop, they were basically one organism during their early years, which meant they had to be close to each other at all times. eventually, the consumed enough humans so that they could fully develop on their own and be able to move a few feet away from each other without immediately dropping dead

Pamela "Claire" - pam is in this weird limbo where she's kind of an oc, but also derives from the fandom's collective oc, but i want to differentiate her from them??? idk, I gave her a new name, so that's a start. She's still connected to the name Claire because, thanks to @luxury-nightmare, someone named Claire was her first victim, but she just preferred the name Pamela, from someone else she consumed

yeah, well, hope you like these, and please check out my last doai oc vc post if you can, and look out for the next one coming soon!

[blazefirefox]

a tommy merrick for an upcoming thing bc I can't handle the sheer lack of tommy in the doai fandom

dropping some head cannons under the cut

he/they king, either demiboy or bigender idk

I really like the idea of patient 66 and Tommy being related, but idk if I should stick with him being her son, like in one of @luxury-nightmare's stories, or make her their aunt

OVERSIZED HOODIE MUAHAHAHAH-

personally I think the call from the woods in the description of vol 1 was winfrey (because- *dies*), and I really want to draw toddler/child tommy interacting with winfy or smth but oughhh burnout

inexplicably british

yeah I might add more later

[blazefirefox]

should I make a tommy merrick design?

[spookmuth]

I think if we make Veldigun! Alex it’s own au it would be cool to have either Tommy or cylde take their role. I will babble more about this
