#dreaming while i wake

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

Alas, this beautiful dream could not last.

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #dungeon meshi spoilers #better drawn mdzs #(<- my higher effort art tag. I need to get a new one.) While it's different from my usual style I really loved how this came out! #Strolling back to the art scene to remind everyone I am still a lover of botanicals. #I had a blast with the symbolism for this one: #White lilium longiflorum (easter lily) for rebirth. Purple hyacinthus orientalis for sorrow and forgiveness. #Red spider lily (Lycoris radiata) for loss and death. #'Rebirth into something new' is so well done in Dungeon Meshi. She is back but she is not the same. #The last few episodes/chapters gives her this dreamy quality to her. As if she's not quite real. She's so perfect in their memories. #And as we know of dreams - no matter how sweet- they must end once we wake up. #It is so painful to lose someone twice. To see someone you loved in a dream and wake up and remember that loss again. #Dungeon Meshi being a grief allegory is important to me. I'll explain more as the story continues B'*)

OoOooooo I've been feeling weird(⁠･ั⁠ω⁠･ั⁠) (bad kinda way) so excuse me

Dreamling daddies as a treat for myself from my nightmare child au, bunch of doodles I had there lying around about their little (literal) nightmare,they grow so fast *wipes tear away*

#la creatura #Dusk probably doesn't like that humans only have 2 arms #the only bad thing about going unnoticed in the waking world #climbing Hob like he's a tree #nghhh i have a weakness about Hob with kids ...let him dilf #enjoy my wholesome art while you can #because I have so many things on mind... #nightmare child au #parents au #dreamling #my art #dream of the endless #hob gadling

This is a little head cannon/What if Macaque had more original powers, a little more Starry Night dreamlike powers leaning into the more nurturing kind, you know, the moon and sun kind of powers? 🌙☀️

 

Maybe in the past, he was like a therapy friend to Wukong, someone he could really be himself with, vent, and tell his secrets without being judged in the safety of his own dreams. Someone he can truly trust, and that was Macaque.

Skip to Redemption Ark for Mac

Now he's a therapy friend to the whole MK team! (Against his will) They cuddle, pet, and vent to him with their problems. He's like one of Sandy's therapy cats, just bigger and grumpier.😾💕✨ he just has this way with people I guess

Okay, this is how it starts: Macaque and Wukong's first encounter was in a dream.

Wukong would not shut up about the pretty demon in his crazy dreams, often to his sworn brothers; he talked about all the fun and crazy adventures he'd have, the long meaningful conversations and jokes, and the occasionally moving pictures of otherworldly strong magical humans with sparkly eyes and spiky hair who wield giant weapons that shoots Fire called anime, and that this had been going on for a few months now.

This annoyed and concerned them; they think it's a demon trying to take over the Monkey King's mind or trying to brainwash him somehow, so Azure Lion and the Sworn Brothers all brainstormed together to devise a plan to somehow confront this tricky dream demon. Wukong doesn't want the fun dreams to end or scare off this other celestial monkey, so he decides to talk to his friend in his dreams. Wukong casually brings up the idea that the macaque should visit Flower Fruit and meet his sworn brothers! Macaque of course hesitates, not sure of the idea of traveling to an unknown island and meeting The Monkey King's questionable choice of sworn brothers, but of course, Wukong, sad and a bit offended, but he doesn't give up.

He decides to bring upon the Ultimate Weapon, begging and whining until Macaque crumbles and gives in, which eventually does. Mac reluctantly agrees to travel over to FFM in disguise, just to be safe he tells Wukong he'll be there. Within a month, Wukong couldn't be more excited; he was like a little kid waiting for Christmas day!

So this is what kinds of powers I think he should have.

😴 the first pic is crossing over to other people's dreams and making their experience life-like he has illusion magic so this makes sense to me. Wukong and macaque would prank the Brotherhood or play tags and hide and seek in their brother's dreams. 🌸The second pic is the soothing ability to calm one's nerves if they pet or cuddle him like a therapy cat,🐈 Wukong would groom him for hours to calm his nerves. now come copes with food🍑🍔🍭

🌸🎶I saved the best one for last the cute/sad little head Cannon I have

At the end of every dream Mac visits they would end it by dancing to music Mac would bring from the future laughing and stumbling while wukong slowly wakes up, wukong has always gone to bed early But now he goes even earlier to bed. Wukong always thought he was the luckiest monkey in the world he gets to have two Adventure and one of them is with his prettiest best friend Macaque 😚✨the monkey of his dreams.

🌸 Wukong couldn't truly dream of a world without his bestest friend🥰✨

#monkie kid #lego monkie kid #lmk #sun wukong #six eared macaque #doodle #monkey king #macaque #shadowpeach #third idea of power: creating little stars out of his hands that float around like for his shadow play or a night light for the baby monkey #cute right!? #originally I was going to write a short fanfic about Wukong having nightmares and not being able to sleep because of that Mac notices #and decides to visit Wukong in his dreams #Hong Kong wakes up in his dream within a dream to a beautiful breathtaking flower field and seeing the beautiful sky it looks super Galaxy #and Mac just pops up out of nowhere and tries to start up a conversation #at first he's like cocky and stuff and then he gets little awkward #fumbling with his words and he gets a little bit more flustered wukong is like super confused and surprise to see him here #Mac gives up on trying to talk and just attacks wukong after a while we'll come figures out he's just play fighting they pretty much #just play tag and wukong slowly he gets into it but Mac starts cheating a little bit and this Riles up The Monkey King and they're just #having a blast now and at the end of it they start talking eating a few peaches just joking around it's awkward but it's nice wukongs #grooming him and he's just feeling a whole lot better Mac wants to know what's bothering him but he feels like can wait until Monkey King #Monkey King is ready for that macaque gets up extensive hand to Wukong they try to dance #and they're both terribly out of practice they keep going until they're tumbling and laughing and will come slowly gets up #with a smile on the face and super well-rested all thanks to macaque the monkey of his dreams #seriously if anybody wants to make a fanfic about this you have my full permission I don't know I think you guys can do way better than me😫

Hornet at Herrah's Altar • Dec. 2023

#p #composition #sonnet #archive #hornet #hollow knight #baby's first metrical break...what do we think......... #local poet is shocked to learn it has improved in the last 2 years despite writing very little. more at whatever time it wakes up #if you were there for my first hornet sonnet this is a rewrite of it that's actually good 🫶 #I've always always always had fun playing with her relationship to the radiance...like she has to just. Not Dream and Not Want or else she #will fall to the infection. I guess you could make the argument that being a demigod grants her immunity but that's less interesting to me #The fight to remember her life and herself through the years of stasis while also shutting every emotion down. I think what we see of her i #the game—esp her emotion towards the end—is the cracks in her armor that she deliberately doesn't fix because she knows one way or another #all of this will end. the burden is off her shoulders

[heavensickness]

I think about this poem everyday

#while i guard you like a rottweiler #being in love with you is fucking awful cause one day youll stop breathing #what are u dreaming about baby wake up tell me if the word soul still means anything!!!! #richard scott #love version of from after verlaine #poetry #poem #fav #mine #z #w

Another Haikaveh Fanfic I Want to Read

It's a 5+1 compilation but it's just all the super soft, embarrassingly domestic moments Alhaitham is daydreaming will happen after he and Kaveh finally get together (he is certain this is going to happen someday)... Plus the timeskip where the best one actually comes true, of course!

#genshin impact #alhaitham #kaveh #haikaveh #kavetham #pining alhaitham #is my actual jam #you cannot tell me this guy #doesn't zone out while reading in his living room #and come up with the most detailed imaginary scenarios #where Kaveh wakes him up with butterfly kisses #doesn't wait by the door kind of hoping #that one day Kaveh will do that 'So rushed I gave my roommate a goodbye kiss' trope #doesn't drop drunk Kaveh in his bed and dream that one day #Kaveh will pull on his glove and ask him to stay the night #just so that no one has to sleep alone #Do you see my vision??? #this seems like the kind of fic that would already exist #if it does help a girl out

the chapter songs in Alan Wake 2,, flawless

#they deserve more love and discussion #saying this while also not knowing what to say other than they’re so fucking good #alan wake 2 #i think it’s partially because poets of the fall’s tracks are iconic so of course they’re in the spotlight (as deserved) #but also the CHAPTER SONGS. them being made for a given chatacter(s) with the help of Sam lakes poetry #the changes with ‘this road’ by Poe with every Alan chapter. becoming more distorted and revealing lyrics and the spiral #the scratch song being 1) hilarious and 2) similar to Zane’s poetry in the aw1 arg #the emotion in superhero when saga feels lost at the story making it so Logan was gone #the lines of her feeling like a ghost in this story forming around her.. how she feels guilty and absent for both what the story’s doing #and being away from Logan because of her job. ashdhhhhjhh my heart #AND. follow you into the dark HAS to be alice. which kills me because at for at I thought of Alan #but no. Alice jumped in the dark place after him. it’s so !!!!!!!!!!! #the rabbit hole line. Alice spiraling deeper and deeper into a dream—into wonderland #the Lost at Sea one is also good. intrigues me. the Bowie and Lynch references are blatantly aw2 Zane #but it’s so similar to diver Zane and the ‘originals’ death. being lost in the dark place with illusions of escape #and losing any sense of identity. whether he’s real at all or the monster of this sea or just a lost soul. #the soft and calm vocals / instrumental really makes the whole thing #NEED to stop typing more tags because this is a Lot. however. #‘no one left to love’ is also a phenomenal song and one of my favorites from the album. GORGEOUS vocals and how it all flows together. #such a powerful and beautiful way to end a chapter #anyway that’s all I had to say :) #god. I’ve started to watch a few playthroughs of the game and 90% of people have skipped the chapter songs and every time im #that’s fair but my brain and soul might implode if I don’t see anyone else talking about how good these songs are

[rainbowpufflez]

Wip (finished now posted here!)

Been listening to this song and thinking about them too much

#believe it or not this is the most typical Bo kinda drawing #heads exploding (not literally but yknow) #dream sequence #someone reaching out while the other is like dying /hj #y’know the likes #anything to not draw Lysandre’s face ig /j /nsrs /lh #I promised I shipped them for angst reasons so #gotta provide 😊 #this is supposed to take place after all the Geosenge stuff #and is supposed to be like a weird dream sequence ish thing #basically it’s just Sycamore grieving and trying to move on #Lys is basically just clothes to represent him being dead(?) #plus if I ever made anything more to this scene it would be Sycamore grabbing him and then waking up holding his coat #had to make them hurt cause I love them 😊 #we’ll see when I get this done cause I’m actually hella busy 😭 #lysandre pokemon #professor sycamore #perfectworldshipping #rainbowpufflez art tag

I recently got into Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss and then I discovered this blog. The brainrot is worsening.

AHAHAHAHAH WELCOME TO BRAINROT HELL! THERE'S NO HELP HERE.

Seriously, there's no help, I've been suffering from the symptoms since episode one, pls send an ambulance please

#I wake up thinking of Alastor #I go to work thinking of Alastor #I do laundry thinking of Alastor #I shower thinking of Alastor #I eat food while thinking of Alastor #I go to bed thinking about Alastor #it's only a matter of time before he invades my dreams to #when the brainrot is so extreme I feel like I'm going insane #i feel like a little freak with a smaller more insane little freak chewing on my brain #and yes that insane little freak is also Alastor #hazbin hotel #alastor #hazbin alastor #the radio demon #hazbin hotel alastor

Is there any canon info about belphie being able to give people the best dreams (or the worst nightmares) theyve ever had in their lives?

i think a belphie induced dream would feel real to life but everything good would be dialed up to 100. while for nightmares its the same but for everything bad to the point where you can actually feel pain

Anyways I was imagining him giving MC a forehead kiss while theyre napping and they wake up later amazed like

Wow i had the most amazing dream and it was so vivid too....how do i go back?

#ik someone has had to bring this up #if they did pls send the link 🙏🏾 #or is this a hc i just made up right now #i slept poorly boo #i was doing so well too #im pretty sure i hated when [redacted] did the kiss while ure sleeping thing but ill let it slide for belphie in this particular post #its for my imaginings.... #a good dream for me always involves eating very high calorie food with no consequences #in the belphie induced dream #the food wood taste super legit #like id be shocked when i wake up and realize it was a dream #also i would be meeting so many fictional characters probably #obey me #obey me nightbringer #obey me belphegor #obey me belphegor x mc #tada

Prompt #217

Don’t wake up.

Hero’s eyes almost blinked open, with the sound of Villain’s voice ringing in their ears like a nightmare.

You’re in danger.

“Am I dreaming?”

Yes, Villain said in the confines of Hero’s mind, and I need you to keep dreaming.
