#waking up from bad dreams

[randomhuman45]

Lmao being in a healthy environment and being able to take my medication on a regular basis changes so much

Bad dreams w/o this: dreaming of being physically tortured only to then wake up literally not recognizing family members or knowing where I am while feeling like it's been literal months since I've been in the real world (for only a short period of time after waking up)

Bad nights w/ this: dreaming that I was struggling in math class and had another roommate who ate my teriyaki then waking up thinking "That bitch ate my fucking teriyaki!!!"

Crazy difference mate

thinking about arthur who has crazy quick reflexes and is a relatively light sleeper who woke up to the sound of someone in his room and saw merlin crouched down messing with his keys before softly asking “whatre you doing?…before breakfast?”

everything we know about Red vs Blue means that there's a canonically supported reality in which every bit of the rvb timeline that happens post-Freelancer saga is actually just simulations Epsilon is running in WASH's head as he unravels

your fridge-build , original-red-and-purple-oufit magneto showed up in my dream yesterday and i was so unprepared it woke me up

reading this made me cackle for like a solid minute gjAELKGJAK he just wanted to say hi ....

leaving you with a fridge-magnet-sized magneto. so hopefully he can say hi again but less intimidatingly

A day will come when you will long for the ending of the dream with all your heart and mind, and be willing to pay any price; the price will be dispassion and detachment and the loss of interest in the dream itself. Once you have seen that you are dreaming, you shall wake up. - Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That

attendant sy getting carried to Qian Cao all the time is so funny to me 😭 he'd be so pissed when he wakes up to someone hot I imagine. like yeah ! ok ! make me look worse by being beautiful standing over my bedside !!!

THE ACCURSED XIANXIA BEAUTY FILTER.... i think it would be reeeeaaallly funny if everyone looked normal bc its the real world now but shen yuan just really liked men. but i digress shen yuan wakes up on qian cao peak with a headache to see Peak Lord Mu Qingfang Himself checking his pulse and is like. this feels like the start of a. the start of a. no dont think about it

Imagine. Imagine you're a little faggot who's been obsessed with The Vampire Chronicles for for most their little faggot life and now you're almost 30 and then the team at ABC IwtV just goes "yeah okay fine wish granted. all of them actually. All your wishes granted." would you be normal? Would you be acting normal right now?

oh you wanna think about muse and trickster? yeah? it's been a while since I put a heartbreaking nhw post in your inbox <3 I know u love the prime dehumanization loss of bodily autonomy defenders. << im not even remotely trying to keep the acronym the same anymore. I've lost the plot. ANYWAY

briefly mentioned this before but because I loooove the aesthetic so much I think at least one important muse confrontation should happen in the tricksters city, specifically in the amusement park. make it like a fuckign scooby door episode everything is all abandoned and run down but as the wards are walking down a boardwalk or something all the lights flicker on and some distorted fuckign. carnival music starts playing and they find muse sitting in like. the rebar scaffolding or whatever in the ferris wheel. just like grinning chin in hands kicking his feet watching them. this image is so clear in my mind. some creep shit !!!! also its like when they first go to the spirit world to get tide back from.mal and end up in the amusement park. except ashe isn't with them this time

uhhhhhh also thinking about. downtime. when muse isn't out being destructive and causing chaos for funsies. like... does he have a bedroom????? does he eat does he sleep??? idfk !!!! I would assume he has to or else he'd fucking die but !!!! man the trickster is so far gone I don't think he even realizes his puppets are real people anymore. that's a fun little doll for him to play dressup with. literally never going 2 get the image of him braiding muses hair and like. putting makeup on him and dressing him in fancy little outfits out of my mind. making myself ILL. smile! good evening I'm gently placing the knife box in your in. << as I was going to type inbox I accidentally typed out inventory. yknow what I'm keeping it. knife box directly into your inventory. watch out they're RUSTY

GOD. THANKS FOR THE KNIFE BOX MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! knife box directly in my inventory!!! u know what this means is that now i can use them :3 <- has been drawing wards stuff abt this for the past two hours ^_^

this is so fucking good though yeahhh.... i love creepy carnival shit so much. he trickster probably Knows it's very over the top and horror movie creepy and just a little absurd. he's so fucking fun 2 think abt since he's literally always doing shit simply because it is funny to him. we can swing a trickster justification for anything probably. i bet he fucking saw traps people!! anyway. ashe isn't with them this time. except..... well. he kind of is. :(

I HAVE ALSO BEEN THINKING ABT DOWNTIME. FREQUENTLY. i guess. the answer to this is he lives however the trickster&co does. the image of him coming back in his fancy intricate little outfits to some disgusting nasty bloody industrial warehouse where they're posted up & always being this very jarring contrast to the gore and violence is really good. the image of him having a perfect doll bedroom and going through a fancy little routine half the nights when the trickster is in a good mood or feeling it & just. getting thrown on the bed & the door locked to pass out for a couple hours whenever he forgets or is busy is also really good. literally anything we do to muse makes me feel some kind of way man. i also have had the extremely vivid image of the trickster braiding his hair & chatting about all kinds of horrific things excited sleepover style to muse who is just. Visibly Not There in my head for so long. not even like he has to touch him, he could be making him do all these things for himself! he's literally controlling him! he just does it for fun!!!

anyway i think post-muse ashe should get to freak out very badly in a multitude of ways whenever anybody touches his hair. like i think he's touch-adverse in general (& miserable about it because he's also so touchstarved & his brain simply whites out in distress anytime anyone touches him because. literally the only person doing that was the trickster!!!!) but i think specifically his hair being messed with is a bad trigger for him. makes him freeze up n go nonverbal for hours. dakota knows that he's jumpy about touch but he still wants to do something for him & before the everything he loved them playing with his hair (its so long!! wibby & dakota think its so pretty!! virion's the only one who knows how to braid it because of his mom!! ashe melts into a puddle over it every time because nobody's ever done that for him before!) so he goes to just run fingers through it & ashe just. fullbody locks up and goes weird and still and silent & doesn't protest or fight back when dakota shakes his shoulder or smth and his eyes are distant and sort of dark and empty like virion's were most of the time when they first met him... maybe he wants to cut it a little bit just because he hates that it's been covered in The Ooze and he can't do anything with it without thinking about how the trickster would do the same thing but also he hates the idea of getting rid of the one thing abt himself that he really likes & is a little connection with both of his parents because of the trickster also, when he's already taken so much from him. (it does have to get gross and tangled and matted because he refuses to put it back or do anything to it for a while though. maybe virion helps him sort it out & it's slow and painstaking and miserable for both of them and they both feel better at the end of it.)

goddamn I just realized how dangerous and violent the time distortion equipment that Wyoming had could of been. the reason they gave it to Wyoming and gamma was because they were too stupid to fully utilize it but effective enough on missions to justify the use of it. god help all of us if anyone of the traumatized to hell freelancers or even the director just decided to start going back in time to "fix their trauma" rvb would of turned into a horror show real fast

It's one of those mornings where Katniss wakes up first. Blindly, she starts to feel the bed and in a heartbeat finds what her wandering hands were looking for. Only then Katniss allows herself to open her eyes, and Peeta's asleep face greets her.

Outside, sunlight is currently in its first stages, but bright enough for her to properly see how his peaceful demeanor cracks with the slightly fluttering of his eyelids.

As always, it creeps so silently.

So she comes closer, reaching for him, featherlight fingertips tracing the side of his face in familiar patterns, followed by the palm of her hand cupping his cheek as she kisses the tip of his nose. Then she keeps moving, brushing away the hair off his forehead to make room for another gentle press of her lips.

Snuggling into his warmth, body almost flush, she nuzzles his blond hair that welcomes her in all directions. After enveloping him with one arm she rests her hand by the nape of his neck, fingers automatically playing with the strands that curls so prettily at the ends.

And slowly, she can feel the rhythm in his chest, thump, thump, thump, start to beat in sync with her own.

It's only when the sun helps itself through the open window that she knows he's awake, the unmistakable feeling of his eyelashes brushing her neck giving it away.

She was certain they were so close already but she was proven wrong the moment Peeta decided to wrap an arm around her middle, squeezing softly while breathing Katniss in.

And right there, as her skin registers his voice way before her ears, as they seamlessly melt, she thinks this time their souls definitely may be at risk of getting intertwined.
