Here is my (probably very bad) Universal Monsters chatfic!! (There’s a bunch of context for my au under the cut, so if you wanna skip it you’ll have to scroll a bit :/ )

Here’s a crapton of context for my AU:

All the characters have access to modern technology for completely unknown reasons (probably due to time travel caused by one of the scientists or something?) (and it makes for funny scenarios). Dracula and Renfield have a healthy (if a bit crazy) romantic relationship (inspired by Gomez and Morticia Addams) because I can’t bring myself to write abuse/conflict. Franky (Frankenstein’s monster) and Bea (bride of Frankenstein) are very cute kind couple (and they are ace) they also both have the intelligence of 18-20 year olds (for the sake of the plot). Jekyll and Hyde are here even though I’m pretty sure universal never made a movie with them. Both Larry Talbot and Jack Griffin’s families think they are dead. Kharis (the mummy) and Gil (creature from the black lagoon) also have average intelligence (because plot) and Kharis speaks English and whatever ancient Egyptian language he spoke when he was alive. Gil speaks English, and gets sick when in saltwater because he is (as far as I know) lagoons are (mostly) freshwater. They are all roommates living and “living” in the same house, the mansion from Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Griffin is a menace, frequently pranks everyone, and brags about crashing a train. I’m 95.9% sure none of these characters are actually “in character”, this is as “ooc” as you could get lmao

(Btw I wrote this as if it was gonna be posted on ao3 ((it’s not)) so that’s why it has chapters and chapter descriptions)

Chapter 1: documentary

(Griffin pranks Larry Talbot)

Griffin: social experiment: I play a wolf documentary in a room in the same house as a werewolf. Hypotheses: all the howling will bother him. Expected outcome: either I prank him and he’s too tired to do anything about it, or I get my ass kicked.

Jekyll: ..I- what? Don’t do that Jack. It’s mean.

Griffin: do you forget that I crashed a train?

Jekyll: oh yeah, I purposefully ignore that fact.

Griffin: rude. your ignoring one of my greatest achievements >:(

Jekyll: It’s *You’re and yes. Yes I am.

Dracula: why would a documentary bother Lawrence? It’s on a screen? Fake?

Griffin: I have that answer in the hypothesis >:) also, wdym fake?

Franky: Dracula… do you think documentaries are staged??

Dracula: yes..??? Aren’t they?

Jekyll: No!

Larry: whoever is watching that documentary about wolfs- PLEASE WATCH LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.

Griffin: OMFG HYPOTHESIS = CORRECT XD

Griffin: I mean…. wow, whoever’s watching that is definitely not funny.. turn it off guys.

Larry: griffin I can hear your deranged cackling from across the house. It’s not funny, my werewolf senses are going crazy, TURN IT OFF

Griffin : why?? I’ve done no wrong 🥺

Jekyll: that’s historically inaccurate.

Larry: don’t “🥺” me! And you’ve done MUCH WRONG!

Griffin: that’s fair. But no. :)

Larry: why not?! You’re just doing it to bother me!!

Griffin: you can’t prove that! And it’s for educational purposes.

Larry: you admitted it in your previous texts idiot. I can scroll up and see them? “EdUcAtIoNaL PuRpOsEs” bs 🙄

Franky: hey griffin how about you try to bother Gil with a ocean life documentary?

Griffin: oooooooo good idea Franky!

Jekyll: Don’t encourage him Franky!!

Larry:….

In a different group chat…:

Larry: Gil is from the Brazilian Rainforest not the ocean?

Franky: it got the wolf documentary to stop didn’t it??

Larry: ooooohhhhh gotcha ;) thanks

Franky: ;) your welcome. Griffin is sometimes like a toddler, if you want to distract him just give him a shiny new toy to play with.

Larry : ah. Makes sense.

Chapter 2: when a mummy catches you…

(Gil asks an interesting question)

Gil: soooooooo…….what do mummies….. actually….. do?

Kharis: rude!!

Gil: No, I mean, if you were human, being chased by different monsters, what are the consequences?

Gil: a vampire drinks your blood, a werewolf bites you, a zombie eats you, what do mummies do to you?

Kharis: keep asking that question and you’ll find out.

Gil: I’m just wondering!!

Kharis: we beat the living hell outta you when you ask us dumb questions.

Gil: message received!! Chill!

Kharis: thanks 🙄😑

Chapter 3: jello and insomnia

(Bea is eating jello at three am and gets “inspired”)

3:17AM

Bea: could you make jello out of ranch?

Franky: honey, wtf???? Its 3am come back to bed!!

Bea: I’m in the kitchen eating. Can’t sleep. Answer the question.

Franky: no????? It’s too thick of a substance.

Bea: sad. If I could I’d eat ranch cubes with carrot jello.

Franky: ew???

Renfield: what about ketchup jello?? Or pure mayonnaise jello? Or BLOOD jello??

Dracula: that last one sounds yummy ;)

Franky: please stop :/

Bea: babe it’s for science! What about sparkling water jello?? Like- the jello is FIZZY ya know?

Dracula: carbonated jello you mean

Bea: yeah!

Franky: I hate everything about this conversation.

Renfield: relish jello.

Franky: 🤢

Dracula: I know for a fact that some of these exist. Meat jello exists.

Franky: ew, what?

Dracula: blame the Great Depression. Look it up.

Renfield: master!! What about bug jello?!

Dracula: probably not, but there are bug lollipops I think.

Renfield: oh my god I want one

Bea: cheese jello.

Franky: ALL OF YOU GO TO BED PLEASE

Dracula: I’m nocturnal and Renfield stays up late with me, tell Bea to go to bed not me

Franky: BEA PLEASE

Bea: I’ll be in bed in 5 minutes

Franky: thank you… ���‍💨🥹

9:33AM

Hyde: what the HELL HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?? (And why wasn’t I a part of it?)

Chapter 4: diary

(Griffins steals a diary to try to get secrets)

Griffin: HAHAHAHHAHAHAH OMFGGG

Dracula: oh no…

Bea: what did you do.??

Griffin: I found Kharis’ diary!! >:)

Bea: if you picked it up and took it, then you STOLE Kharis’ diary

Griffin: …shush… anyways!!! Anyone know good ideas on how to blackmail him?

Dracula: griffin that’s not a good idea.

Gil: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Griffin: whats so funny Gil?  🤔

Kharis: open the diary idiot.

Bea: oh shit Griffin you’ve been caught

Griffin: GIL DID YOU SNITCH??

Gil: no?? you haven’t opened the book yet have you??

Griffin: ……..

Griffin: …I just did.

Kharis: ;)

Griffin: f you.

Dracula: what happened? What’s in the diary?

Griffin:….. its in hieroglyphics.

Dracula: OMG

Gil: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA KARMA LMAO

Griffin: :’(

Kharis: oh “boo hoo”, you were gonna blackmail me!!

Griffin: thats fair.

chapter 5: the munsters

(Hyde asks a question)

Hyde: you guys know The Munsters right?

Larry: yeah.?

Hyde: well if the dad is a “Frankenstein’s monster” character, and the mom is a vampire, why is their son a werewolf?

Larry: ….

Larry: that’s actually a good question.

Griffin: simple. Lily cheated.

Kharis: or he’s adopted? 😑

Griffin: the cheating storyline is more interesting.

Kharis: sure.

Hyde: plot twist: their milkman is a werewolf ;)

Griffin: HYDE YOU SEE MY VISION YES

Hyde: oh no what did I just start?

Kharis: please don’t encourage him.

Larry: griffin and Hyde trying to prove Lily Munster cheated:

Kharis: XD

Griffin: oh, shut up. >:(

~Fin~

[ratective]

Just a sudden idea, but i think Dr Octopus from spiderverse would look great in your style. Oh! Or maybe the gems in the ancient roman era, idk it just came to mind.

Btw i love your style beacuse, its hard to explain, but the way you draw characters makes them feel "real" while they are still stylised, idk if that makes sense.

ALso no clue where you are from but you have an eastern european digital artist vibe to your stuff, would be crazy if i was right. I noticed something like this before, somethimes people can even have diferent styles but just the way they color and shade or something like that gives away that they are east asian for example. I wonder how this works. Maybe these broader areas have traditioanally diferent ways to teach art in school and even when students develop their own styles the foundations are still showing, idk.

she was definitely fun to draw! this reminded me how much i love liv actually so thank you

the roman era was a cool idea so i'll post it just separately cause i dont like posting multiple fandoms at once lol i think i get it wdym by "real" and its the biggest compliment ever fr fr

i indeed am eastern european and I AGREE WTF IS UP WITH THAT its true that certain groups have a similar vibe when it comes to their art

like us eastern europeans get this kinda dark, detailed, low exposure, vibe of despair or nostalgia (to me lol) that makes me think of post soviet living blocks on a cold evening??? i dont know if thats just me but you brought up an interesting point honestly.....

[tea-with-evan-and-me]

it's so chaotically funny the way the evan fanbase behave depending on the platform, like wdym people on tumblr have been creating blogs as evan characters and having fun all day sending funny asks to their moots while the reddit side have been bragging for months about the lost sparkle on evan's eyes??

and how do you explain the twt users spending all day long making silly jokes and messing around with the hate posts while the ig fans are creating small sects and whole cospiracy theories about natalie being an ancient witch with the hat or whatever?? it's like we have our own multiverse thing going on

and i don't even want to know what's going around on facebook lmaoo

this is a good point, the way fandoms act across platforms can vary wildly lmao i’m at the point where i’m just actively avoiding any of the craziness. evan seems to be happy and living a nice, quiet life with natalie and has work on the horizon. that’s all i care about. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[weiner-enjoyer]

being in love is crazy bc like. wdym you like me. what the fuck. im fucking crazy. i post about ancient egyptian penis-cabbages.

[starfanatic]

I HATE HATE HATE GOING TO NEW FANDOMS!!! Because on one hand, OH MY GOSH the new characters to obsess over, the SHIPS!!!, the angst, the FLUFF!, the new tumblr posts!!! I don't have to always go to recent, ALL THE NEW TIK TOK CONTENT, ALL THE NEW YOUTUBE CONTENT

but also,

WDYM I HAVE TO MAKE NEW MOOTS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE CURRENT MOOTS I HAVE AT THIS MOMENT DO NOT WATCH THE SAME SHOW?? You're kidding. Like, what do you mean if I have to go to people's dms, hope they don't think I'm weird, and beg to be friends???

"Just don't make new moots then" YOU DONT GET IT!!! I Need to talk about it! The notes app doesn't work anymore, I NEED someone to read what I'm saying and be like "HOLY SHIT AND AND AND AND"

This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME. LIKE, OF COURSE I DONT HAVE JUJUTSU KAISEN MOOTS!!! 1. I did not even WATCH anime before this show. 2. I was posting about GREEK MYTHOLOGY which is where a solid chunk of my moots are from, 3. Greek Mythology does NOT correlate with Jujutsu Kaisen at all! One is ancient myth and the other one is a ANIME

BUT I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT OR I GO INSANE!!!

Here's a list of reasons why you should be my moot:

-I'm awesome

-I'm smart (no I'm not)

-I will talk to you at any time no matter what time (I once accidentally did a one-nighter talking to my friend Penny)

-I like psychoanalyzing characters

-I give hcs to characters that are irrelevant because I need everyone to have character

-I write things... when I have the motivation

-If we share tik toks, I'll send you audios based off which character it reminds me of

-Did I mention I'm AWESOME???

-I love angst

[beardedmrbean]

Ah the rumors are true (and these gaming companies coordinate)

https://x.com/xbox/status/1785308276063633588?s=46

I already figured out given last year Xbox revealed Star Wars outlaws and next day we had a gameplay reveal at the Ubi forward

Remember that leak AC red menu I sent? Well that was taken down to copyright, but I think that was a Xbox not a Ubi move.

Because the leak show the build being April third and most press conference game builds are usually a few months old as they are the most stable

So I heard original red would have it reveal in May 31st…hmmm if that still true

May 31st- a press event where we get a pre render cgi trailer, proper Yasuke and Naoe reveal, details, in game screenshots. And title reveal

June 9th- Xbox will have a gameplay demo showing off the capabilities of Xbox (and if Xbox bribed them enough. Ac red will be the first day one ac game on gamepass as the last three ac rpgs on it)

June 10th- a story trailer and “bts” video where they show how yes finally we are going to Japan and their ideas and inspirations for it

With probably the nice explanation why Yasuke was chose for the second playable character

Because people want red to be reveal at Ubisoft forward…but people need to digested Yasuke at first

Like my theory craft on how to use Yasuke in a what if continuation is interesting…but modern writers are not exactly smart.

Also there a fundamental difference between my black teen dad Jrpg idea vs writers who have critical theory plaguing their minds

Not to mention they think having more non whites will bring black people into fantasy games.

When the last time they went to the cookout? The vast majority of casual players only enjoy playing Cod, GTA, tekken and other fighting games, and the occasional license hero game

Okay okay fornite

Like here my pitch

Hey casual black gamers (who barely desire to play Normie games. WHAT I still deal with it) you remember Afro samurai? Well here a game where you play as the weapon bearer Yasuke in this game Assassin Creed Shadows (that is what some people saying the game is going called) where you help a secret ancient order unify Japan. And there more it’s a RPG where you can spend over 100 hours into and explore the beautiful recreation of feudal Japan!

Warning your dumbass might become a pseudo historian and desire more knowledge

(Or you might be interested in more ac games. Hmm here an Egypt one! Now might give you more! HEHEHEHE)

And noting bad wait- okay probably will be 70 dollars…..oh great a season and battle pass!….wdym online only?!

Ubi you now got 5-6 months to reform red market system (most ac game comes out on October or November) because you seen how your own game skulls and bones and SS kills JL flopped

Ugh why I had to be born during the hard times of gaming?

Maybe in May I get more leaks

Also college educated students, people do like organic diversity.

But white people don’t like the demonization of themselves from people who make more money they do in their lifetimes

Seriously what the fuck is the culture in California and New York where it socially acceptable to treat white people like fictional characters

June 10th- a story trailer and “bts” video where they show how yes finally we are going to Japan and their ideas and inspirations for it With probably the nice explanation why Yasuke was chose for the second playable character.

This all was the official timeline then, nice of them to post it, probably gonna be a few more leaks tho

Like my theory craft on how to use Yasuke in a what if continuation is interesting…but modern writers are not exactly smart. Also there a fundamental difference between my black teen dad Jrpg idea vs writers who have critical theory plaguing their minds Not to mention they think having more non whites will bring black people into fantasy games.

They need to stop with all the tokesism crap, even a MC can be a token if it's all just stereotypical nonsense. Then again certain parts of the audience that's all they want.

Gay guys need to be flaming, lesbians are lipstick or mega dyke, Latinos are gardners, and black people are thugs or you're doing it wrong.

If Yasuke breaks into a Undercover Brother type monolouge at some point I would laugh and cry.

When the last time they went to the cookout? The vast majority of casual players only enjoy playing Cod, GTA, tekken and other fighting games, and the occasional license hero game.

Oh I miss the cookouts, had a few friends that would invite me to different ones, damn fine food. Sometimes I acted extra white just to be funny too.

Prev and Warning your dumbass might become a pseudo historian and desire more knowledge (Or you might be interested in more ac games. Hmm here an Egypt one! Now might give you more! HEHEHEHE)

I like it, I also like tricking people into learning, makes things fun and interesting.

And noting bad wait- okay probably will be 70 dollars…..oh great a season and battle pass!….wdym online only?!

Grrrrrr

Ugh why I had to be born during the hard times of gaming? Maybe in May I get more leaks Also college educated students, people do like organic diversity.

There really was a golden age for it, late late 90's till the 10's when things all started to go online, get really good complete games and y you could hit up gameFAQ's if you needed help with something (used to have to know someone who knew or call the Nintendo Power hotline at $1.99 a min if you were stuck.

Think most college educated people like that too, it's just the loud ones that are the issue.

Seriously what the fuck is the culture in California and New York where it socially acceptable to treat white people like fictional characters

Speaking as a Californian let me say, fuck those guys doing that.

this is more like it

[acheronist]

What was the Met piece you loved that they didn’t have at the museum post card gift shop !!!!

THEM, FIRST OF ALL!!!!!

but also when i was there somehow there weren't any cards of madame x either, which is fucking crazy stupid to me... because should she not be amongst the centerpieces of the pride for the museum? hello??? helloooo??????? and the last time i was in ny, i had went specifically to go see the chroma: ancient sculpture in color exhibit? which was beautiful and soooo gorgeous and worth the trip BUT!! THERE WEREN'T ANY POSTCARDS OF THAT EXHIBIT EITHER!!!!! which is *&^%&*( incomprehensible to me... the detroit institute of art always does a little themed promo gift shop for highlight exhibits that come thru wdym THE FUCKING MET doesn't.... say sike right now.....

[ruffboijuliaburnsides]

wdym? this post is only 3 years old that's hardly ancient.

[natpetersoncore]

embarrassing myself on my rottmnt/flight rising post. wdym obelisks aren’t ancients. i haven’t touched the game since banescales came out youre tellin me they actually fulfilled their promise on a new modern?

[redtailfins]

Sometimes my mutuals are mutuals with each other and it fucks me up

[corvidshipping]

man i sometimes forget ppl my age genuinely weren’t always raised on 80s media i KNOW how much of a “i liked it before it was cool” kind of person that makes me sound but i just saw a post abt gen Z not knowing k.ate b.ush was like… still alive even… and that’s genuinely so fucking weird to me. i can’t fathom treating these songs and movies and fashions like they’re something new you just uncovered like some ancient ruin they’ve been here for decades? wdym i popped out the womb and still of the night was playing on the radio. my dude

[moved-19871997]

i agree a lot with your post about self-depricating humor. It's also gotten to the point where now people are so down they just think they're bad at everything and can't improve so don't try

Like the other day I said I was bad at Greek and my friend was all "oh no no don't say that why would you say that?" and I was like "??? Cause i'm objectively bad at ancient greek wdym?"

I'm always sure of myself which means i know when I'm not good at things and have to work harder.

~sallysalmonkin

!! yeah and like the thing is it’s kinda difficult to be legitimately accurate to your own skills, especially if it’s something you’re learning (theres this thing called the dunning-kruger effect that’s a graph of confidence vs actual skill thats rlly interesting) and also it’s smth u learn like it’s not easy to automatically go ‘well i’m good at this part but i’m not that good at this’ and it’s easy to focus too much on one or the other (and it’s especially easy to focus on the negative if you’re actively trying to be better or you’re comparing yourself to another person) and i think it’s also difficult to judge your own process and none of it is particularly helped by being self deprecating about it yk

[flyingpurplepeopleeater42]

I realised I haven't ranted about any movie for a long while so please have a childhood fave. 'Taare Zameen Par'- It's about a kid who loves to draw but performs poorly at academics. He is sent off to a boarding school as punishment (is this punishment just Indian or happens elsewhere too?) where his new art teacher figures out he is dyslexic and helps him. This movie has a lot of emotional moments and made me misty-eyed as a kid and still has the same effect. (Don't worry I am an over emotional kid.)

YES ANOTHER MOVIE REC💙💙💙💙

Hehe this is gonna be a long post so

*in Scar's voice* 🎶BE PREPAAAARED🎶

First some incoherent thoughts I had while watching the movie. (I did it with the Merlin episode yesterday an I liked it so I am gonna do it again today)

Nice title sequence. I dig it. It's not boring as the 99.9% of title sequences so cheers to that.

Why is that kid messing with dirty water ?!?!

Okay the scene with the fish was cute.

Those children are awful. Just go and collect the damn ball by yourselves it's not that difficult

Wow that main kid is a really good actor.

WHAT THE FUCK ?!?!??! HE HIT HIM?!??!?!?! WHAT IS IT WITH INDIAN(AND GREEK I ASSURE YOU) PARENTS AND BEATING ?!?!?! DO YOU THINK BEATING YOUR CHILD WILL HELP THEM?!?!?!?!?MAKE THEM A BETTER PERSON OR SOMETHING?!?!??!?!DO I EVEN NEED TO EXPLAIN WHY FEAR AND PHYSICAL ABUSE ARE NEVER HELPFUL?!?!

FUCK THIS FATHER

wtf there's a song now ?!?Okay I like the song! Oh this song rocks. THIS IS A BOP. Yup the song was a brilliant way to introduce all the characters.

OH MY GOD!!! Are Ishaan's teacher completely dumb ?? I dont know shit about psychology AND EVEN I KNOW what "The letters are dancing " probably means.

Ishaan wtf are you licking the painting ?

Oh another song. Nice song.

Okay the-maths-who-turned-into-solar-system animation scene was brilliant.

Oh no! No! No no no! They found the absent note. FUCK.

Oh my God STOP FUCKING BEATING THE KID.

Oh yes. Love the parents' reactions to Ishaan's grades. The father is afraid that his son is the r-word and the mother gives the "what have I done wrong" talk. Good job guys.👏 Totally never heard those before🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

Yes ofc the kid is having nightmares. YOU'RE ABANDONING HIM!!!!!!

Off to the boarding school I guess.

Oh they value discipline🤢 there. Great 😢🙃

Why the fuck we ,as a society , leave children to be looked after by people who clearly hate them ?!?!

Also why is that boy such a good actor.

Jajankahwkwhejueiehwjehehhdhgs the flip book hajjajwhwjhwjwuwkwhjejeueueuehje NO I AM NOT CRYING JSJWJWJWJ😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Is that man supposed to be a teacher ?!?

WDYM "WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS POEM"?!?!??! THESE ARE 3RD GRADERS?!?!??!

Wait. He actually gave a pretty good interpretation of the poem. Good job Ishaan.

OFC THE DAMN TEACHER DIDN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT ISHAAN SAID. I mean you need a brain to understand such things and he clearly lacks that part of human anatomy.

The top student boy is really nice. I like him.

Wtf?!?!?! Is that an art teacher?!?!?! What a disgrace to the art teacher profession in general. Who's gonna tell him that beating children is ABUSE.

Why do all the teachers look like they're the same person but with a slightly different wig and accent?!

YES!!FUCKING YES!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳THAT IS AN ART TEACHER. OH MY GOD HE'S GONNA SING NOW ?!?! JJAHWJHWJWH MY FACE HURTS FROM ALL THAT SMILING.

Awwwwwwww🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 He said " there's no hurry" to Ishaan. Awwwwwwww🥰🥰

F U C K T H E O T H E R T E A C H E R S. Nice motto guys. Order🤢Discipline🤢Labour🤢. That def doesn't sound like it's about the fuckin military.

That "h*il h*tler" was a pretty good point.

THANK GOD SOMEONE NOTICED THAT ISHAAN WAS NOT OKAY.

Omg the Tulip school theatre performance. GUESS WHO'S CRYING AGAIN?!

Wait- Did the older son just apologised TO HIS FATHER for losing a stupid tennis match ?!?!?!

Ishaan's paintings>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

NOT THE FLIP BOOK AGAIN😭😭😭😭😭😭

Oh the father again. SIR WITH ALL DUE RESPECT (which is none. No respect is due there) FUCK YOU. GO JOIN EWTHER'S CLUB FOR INCOMPETENT AND EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE FATHERS AND LEAVE YOUR SON ALONE.

Oh the awesome teacher is gonna tell a story. Jsjahshjshsh HE MENTIONED EINSTEIN AND DA VINCI. WAIT EDISON WAS DYSLEXIC TOO?!? AND AGATHA CHRISTIE?!?! AND PICASSO?!?!?I DIDN'T KNOW THIS.HSHSJSH

Wait- ISHAAN BUILT THAT BOAT ?!!?

Oh and when I thought I couldn't love the art teacher more he started quoting Oscar Wilde🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

"So you dont take us for the kind of parents who do not care" UUUUUUGHHHH

OH MY FUCKING GOD ISHAAN'S PAINTING NSJSJJWJWKWJWHKWJWKWJSJKSJEJEJENKEKENEJDJHDJDJEHEJEJDUEJWHIENKLJ

He WON 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

The last shot of Ishaan rising to the sky with the help of his teacher= poetic cinema.

Okay and after that incoherent mess I have to say. Amazing film. I was hooked form start to finish (and it was a 2h42min film) . Loved the subject matter. The boy was an amazing actor. And Aamir Khan was great as always.

Bottom line is your movie recs are 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Fun fact : The word "dyslexia" basically comes form dys / δυσ (which means bad) and lexis / λέξη (which means word ) so it can basically be translated as "bad with words"

(this come from my pretty basic knowledge of ancient greek so it might not be 10000% accurate)

Finally to answer you question. Idk about elsewhere but I haven't heard of greek boarding schools. I dont think we have that here. And def not as a punishment.

[urmomification]

SWAG ANOTHER DREAM SMP AU FIC IDEA THAT ILL NEVER WRITE POG

this is a very long post please im so sorry my brain it just

(tw for like slight possession n shit)

(sorry its all jumbled i write all of these in discord to my friend and copy paste them here please if u have questions ask me im always willing to talk abt this shit please it haunts me)

(context: i saw a tiktok abt the hc that both dream and techno are gods of some sort bc theyre mentioned in the tales of the smp by karl a time traveller and my brain just ran w it)

going back to the techno and dream are gods thing right so dream is a vessel for the god dream xd (??? work in progress youll know what im talking about at some point its really funny tho uve def seen clips of it) and he was possessed?? by the god after the server started (when he started going from super friendly with everyone to control/power hungry) when he started sacrificing everything for power so no one could have power over him? that was the god making him do it bc the god was terrified of not being in control since theyd lost it all to techno in their past. thats why we never see dream and techno fight and why we see dream extend help and support to him at times as well as respecting his boundaries and such bc theyre scared of techno (again w the best of 10 duel reference, techno killed the god in a past life which is why the god has been forced to use a human vessel to get anything done on the mortal plane) but when something that powerful spends pretty much any amount of time in something mortal and mundane like a person, the host body starts to change (hence the mask) i like to think that the god would be akin to that of a biblically correct angel?? like the ones w multiple eyes n shit yk so after time things start to happen to normal dreams body he gets extra sets of eyes and he gets taller and overall his body seems just Too Small for whatevers inside of him and thats why he (hc) started wearing the mask in the first place he knew something was wrong w him but he didnt want anyone to know even tho they would most likely help him he was ashamed that he was different in the first place so he started wearing the mask once the other eyes showed up. and i think that the god would talk to dream similarly to how technos voices work yk? except its just the one voice instead of many many small ones. and again with the mask thing when he lost to tommy and they took him in, part of his mask broke to the point where u could see just a bit of the right side of his face but enough to see that it Wasnt Right there were two eyes where there shouldve been one and spots on his cheeks bright enough to resemble stars and where the color of his pupil should have been is just a sickeningly neon green with nothing else behind it. so they let him keep the mask even tho they already know something is wrong but it clearly makes him Very Distressed when asked to remove the mask or told to give it up. blah blah blah god harassing its host bc it got them caught and thrown in a prison and dream goes ever so slightly insane having to share a mind and body with a literal ancient god w a vendetta against everything hes built whos forced him to sacrifice everything he loved and cared for out of fear yk the usual prison shit and then techno comes a long and breaks him out or whatever but on their way back to his house he drops a really cryptic line abt how 'its nice to see an old friend again' and 'i thought i got rid of u for good last time' and dream is just ???? what are u talking about?? weve never been friends and youve never gotten rid of me? what. until techno spins around and just 'im not talking to you im talking to the thing inside u' or whatever and dreams eyes flash some brilliant gold or sumn and boom this is ur fellow god speaking how may i help you and dream xd (that feels so wrong to say but) and techno bond or well ig just talk abt how the past centuries have gone and ig while xd is fronting (??? i think itd kinda be like DID in a sense w multiple people being able to front yk?) dream is in a sort of semi conscious state but still hears everything going on around his own body until hes thrown back into the drivers seat (i think that xd would only be able to front for short periods of time due to the vessel n shit that makes sense right) and hes so confused someone please help him hes just a dude who happened to get possessed by a god someone help him so when they finally get back to technos house he sits dream down and explains the best he can without literally melting dreams brain. which would also play into the 'technoblade never dies' bc hes. literally a god. mortals cant kill him unless they have idk some sort of super weapon idk and blah blah blah xd gets what they want and finally has the ability to leave finally leaving dream literally the shell of a man with no home friends materials or anything with techno to basically take care of him until he reaches some semblance of stability again (which would take ages, realistically (wdym realistically) going from normal, to a god sharing a body with you and speaking in you brain living as a single being together and hearing their thoughts, to back to normal but with all the memories of what you did and what they made you do and also no more god speaking in ur head it would take a hot sec to recover from) so he lives with techno (whos, not to mention, another god) for a while until he can fend for himself again and after a good year or so passes and no one hears from dream they start to look for him and see what happened bc he went from the biggest threat on the server to just. gone. no one knows where he went after whatever he did and they want closure. is he dead?? who knows. so george and sap set out looking for him and decide to ask techno for help since hes good w directions n shit also he was the last person to see dream alive so he might have an idea of where he is and they walk up to his house and knock on his door and techno opens it and just stares at them he knows who they are, dreams talked about them before but hes never met them really so he talks to them, getting through the polite hellos how are yous before sap finally asks 'do you know what happened to dream? no one knows where he went and we just want closure' techno huffs and tells them to wait there he (this is the basement door im using his arctic tundra house in my head) goes down the ladder to the second basement, they can hear him talking to multiple people (ranboo phil dream) but cant tell who everyone is before coming back up the ladder, back to the door. he tells them to wait outside he needs to get something first (its dream hes getting dream) theyre standing out by carls stable when the door creaks open and dream steps out looking around for who the fuck could possibly be looking for them he betrayed everyone and most people thought he was dead who could possibly be here asking for himself and not ranboo or philza and when he steps out, his green hoodie (memento made by ranboo to help him cope w the loss of the voice in his head) catching the morning light off the snow and he was happy and then he saw them standing by the house hed grown to call home at least for now he breaks. he missed them so so much it hurt. he never expected to see them ever again much less them come looking to see him but hes scared he realizes he doesnt know what to say there is nothing to say he fucked them all over he ruined everything and then hes being hugged. they missed him too. they dont forgive him jsut yet but they missed him and thats enough for him right now. the three of them stand there just being in each others presences and techno creaks the door open to make sure they arent trying to kill each other and sighs and leans against the frame smiling. hes happy again and thats the best he can do for him. he invites them all in and offers to explain everything to them to try and ease the blame off of dream bc in all honesty it was his fault but xd made it far far worse that it should have been (a bit late but foot note abt xd i think that they would be an idle god until someone w intense feelings of powerlessness and insecurity like awoke them from their techno induced slumber and inhabited dream to help him fulfill his desires for power and control) and by the time he and dream are finished its late at night and sap and george are ??? so u were possessed by a god who techno killed centuries ago in a duel and it amplified ur feelings of insecurity and ur thirst for control to the point of isolating urself from us and destroying everything everyone cared abt?? also technos an ancient god who lusts for bloodshed but also makes turtle farms in his free time?? are we getting this right????? and techno and dream are just yea thats abt it glad this all made sense then they all go to bed (its a small house dream has a lil shack like ranboos and sap and george somehow slept over there for the night) and in the morning sap and george leave again but promise to come back, they still arent ready to forgive and forget bc even tho it wasnt all his fault his emotions getting away from him is what caused this all in the first place so they do need time to process now that they know he isnt dead and dream continues to live near techno in almost full independence and eventually moves back with his friends even tho many still hate him. hes happy and for now thats enough. another foot note; even after xd leaves his being, he still has the extra eyes, glowy freckles n is xtra tall n shit that cant just be reversed but now that hes himself again these things take their tolls on human bodies so i think hed have something at least similar to arthritis bc of how his bones were literally manipulated bc of how strong ethereal magic or whatever is. so he would still wear the broken mask but he takes it off now and is ok with it being off hes working on getting better now that hes himself again and everyone living w/by techno is helping him with that. also i think that he would get blinks of xd's memories like from when techno was killing them and have sumn like ptsd panic attacks from it and techno feels super guilty abt it but theres literally nothing he can do except apologize and after the first few times dream stopped him from apologizing bc it is his fault but he didnt do it to him so it doesnt matter to dream at least and they live in pretty much harmony until dream finally moves back in w george and sap the end. he also started wearing the mask in the first place bc of the extra eyes but he played it off as being uncomfortable around new people and not wanting them to know what he looked like until he trusted them (bc that literally makes sense irl how funky is that) so sap and george never pushed him and when they caught him without it on on the rare occasion they wouldnt pressure him to leave it off or anything even tho they already knew what he looked like (when they respect ur boundaries </3) they just assumed that it was insecurity (it was but also mans had like 3 eyes so) and just left him alone
