This is probably Too Niche, but to the vivid dreamers out there: do you ever get nostalgic for a place from your dreams that isn't real? I have recurring locations in my dreams that just. don't exist. And I find myself thinking about them or having "memories" about them even though they don't exist and never have. But they're real in my heart even though I'll never go there.

(tell me about these places in the tags, I'm so curious)

#the house along the highway with all the junk around it that I walk up to but never get to go in #the lake with the houses around it where I walk out onto the little fishing pier and watch the swans every time #the alternate version of the trails at my mom's house where a stream green with algae runs along the railroad tracks #the big mall where most of the lights are off and many of the stores haven't been restock in a long time and there's a creepy thrift store #and I know malls (esp abandoned malls) are common in dreams but this is the same one every time and I'm aware of that in the dream #a yellow victorian house with lots of trees and a fence out front. there's a park nearby. I've always been older in this dream #and it's always MY house. and I'm always so surprised I live there in a self-aware kind of way. I long for that house so bad.

Let me tell y’all something.. Zac Oyama maybe play characters with low intelligence scores, but he is SO good at pulling threads together and remembering information about the lore and making connections and figuring things out

Gorgug especially has been really great at making connections and asking the right questions. (That’s why the boy increased his intelligence score in sophomore year)

I’m wondering what the implication of the energy attacking Cassandra being the same thing as what Lydia is keeping in her chest? Do we actually know what it was Lydia was fighting with her adventuring party? Will we find out more? Does Lydia use her own rage to keep it subdued or is the energy created by rage (eg Cassandra’s anger at Kristen)?

okay SO!

i have a long-running history of coming up with chaotic bangtan prompts to bother my friends with - once dubbed ~thot exercises~ ✨ - and i'm bored and one just popped into my head - so i figure maybe we can start doing them together 🥺

i shall present the prompt and my thoughts - feel free to comment, reblog, or even make a new post and share your own opinions if you feel differently! (just be sure to tag me hehe) there are no wrong answers - you're welcome to provide explanation for your choices, or absolutely no supporting evidence, just ~vibes~ 🤍

bts as iconic mall stores

namjoon: barnes & noble (or lowkey even borders, RIP queen) - dependable, cozy, and chock full of new things to learn and old favorites to revisit again and again. a respite from the overstimulation outside its doors - curl up with your latest find and stay for hours 📚

seokjin: if i say bass pro shops am i getting disowned 🧐 okok how about instead we go with hot topic (current era not the scary hot topic of my childhood lmao) - pop culture and anime references galore! adorable tchotchkes from all your favorite shows! you're definitely not leaving without at least one plushie! all in all, an underrated fave 🌸

yoongi: williams sonoma/sur la table - well-stocked, refined, and fancy enough that you lowkey wonder why you're allowed to be in here. what the fuck is a decanter? what purpose does molding ice into a sphere even serve? and why is that slotted spoon $45?! 🔪

hoseok: auntie anne's (or cinnabon, or jamba juice) - you spy it between the passing crowds and your whole face lights up. is that - could it be?! the stop that makes even the most chaotic of mall outings worthwhile. everyone loves it - and how could they not??? 🥨

jimin: tiffany's - elegant, stunning, timeless; you can't tear your eyes away whenever you pass by, it's all just too gorgeous, you have to stop and stare. (and wow, that model on the wall is stunning too 👀) of course it's far too expensive, but... can't a person dream?! 💍

taehyung: honestly? that new designer store that you swear wasn't here the last time you went shopping. when did we get a - gucci, burberry, LV?? whatever it is, it looks like a museum in there - and why is there a velvet rope and a bouncer outside? you don't even bother going in - everything is distinctly out of your league 👜

jungkook: hollister/abercrombie - it's dark as fuck, the aroma is certainly strong, and - hold up, why is everyone naked??? why is everything low rise AND cropped??? does that model have an EIGHT pack?? you're immediately overwhelmed - but the playlist is fire 🏝

#mposting #mprompts #we'll try that tag out and see if i ever remember to use it again lmao #obv this is just based off a classic american mall - but feel free to interpret for wherever you live! #and pls note i don't actually support any of these stores lmao #or consumerism in general #just a fun little hee hee ha ha

didn't know you were a dorm warrior cheye, how' was 'd you like the experience of living away from home?

(general) unfortunately i didnt have a cawr then, and also the kitchen was communal (and had the washer and dryer units in it) so I tried to avoid being spotted in there due to the Embarrassment and Shame of being alive, so it was really not too different than living at home where my room is my entire world...just a bit more quiet and peaceful loafing.

(specific) the college i attended is surrounded by water so was nice to walk around the few times I did. I saw Raccoon in person for the first time in my life ^_^ and many smunks and osprey, pelican my best friend pelican

#skunk mail #Anonymous #there was a bus i took around several times but it never seemed worth it to go #(until i made the friends i did and we'd go on it together to the mall) but ykwim #id eat at dining hall but if they didnt have anything i wanted id have to get creative #not only bc getting to the grocery store by bus was a whole planned ordeal #but also because well id be on edge in the kitchen all the time. like please dont walk in on me making embarrassing meals. #im embarrassed. #but as a whole was good experience #those posts about how the ideal living experience is like a college dorm is true in the way that everything is close together #for ex. i liked that i had to take a long long walk to get my mail from the mail room...forced to get sun

does anyone ever experience reoccurring dream locations? instead of just the same dream- it’s the same place that you’ve been to multiple times but these places don’t exist in real life

#i have so many times #there’s the house in my old neighborhood that doesn’t exist with a couple who lives there that aren’t real #hallways that have no windows but just gray walls and thousands of doors and flights of stairs that i’m always being chased through #there’s a cafe #a mexican taco shop #a mall #and a burger joint #as well as these docks on the sea #and a strange like… circus entertainment park for kids run by evil clowns like a nightmare chuckecheese #i’ve visited them multiple times in my life yet non of these places are real?? #why do i go back?

[citadelsushi]

I miss shopping. Like actually going into stores in person and trying on clothes and leaving with something in hand that instant. I'm so tired of shipping and buying cheaply made shit only for it to fit horribly and be returned.

#i love living in the middle of nowhere #i miss malls

i'm not sure if this is bias from someone whose only seen voy+ds9 or if it's maybe more due to the setting of ds9 (a place people visit instead of people who visit places) but it is soooo delightful seeing all the PEOPLE!!! all of these unspeaking extras all dressed up in weird costume and extraordinary makeup. all of these aliens so different from one another and yet blending perfectly and harmoniously into the background, entirely irrelevant but no doubt leading unique and interesting lives. that probably sounds contradictory to love seeing the people when the show is no longer about Exploring To Meet People but idk something about ds9 feels different. feels alive and intriguing. maybe ds9 simply cant throw in human extras and call it a day like on a starfleet vessel because that just Is Not The Setting but also maybe ds9 does it willingly. happily. look at all of these different people. so many good unique character gimmicks get used in ds9 namely related to business owners/local workers and we are only so blessed with getting to know a few of them. a spy from the planet of state servitude who is drawn to the mundane and hedonistic self gratification owns a tailoring shop because hes banished from home. a bar tender who gets blackmailed into staying and his cop-vs-criminal dynamic best frenemy the Unknown Sample butt heads every day. all of the bajorans and their religious sites!!!!!! the school!!!!!! a worker from Capitalism Planet forms a union and then quits his job to be a freelance engineer and his sex worker wife who he loves very much. a guy from some sorta warrior culture who instead works as a chef serving live worms to his patrons who'll also burst into song during downtime. all of the shady visitors dealing in illicit substances and goods. all of the weird shapes and colours on these visitors from races whose names we may not even know. one of the starfleet crew guys gives birth to litters and he does this multiple times and some longterm professor on the station has a transparent skull and all this & more is conveyed to us strictly thru crewmembers gossiping about all the strange new different People around them because this show is all about People

#ikildaman shut the fuck up #ds9 #this was supposed to be a rant on how i want to steal the klingon chef idea for an oc because klingons having mundane jobs is SO GOOD #and somebody already took the klingon medic idea (SUCH a good gimmick oh my god #what im saying is they should make more shows about shopping malls. or warfront towns i guess is the more apt comparison #businesses and workers and customers and civilians.... living life living LIFE #it hits especially so considering a space station is just not a place you spawn. you CHOOSE to go there. you CHOOSE to live there #you CHOOSE to hold ur business there etc etc. maybe this is why ds9 feels like it revels in its People #for every person who shows up here has to be a Choice. there is no background extra put in without thought and consideration #seeing klingons just in the background hanging out together during a time ds9 HAS klingons on it when the episode is not ABOUT them was jus #it was so good i pogged i pointed at my screen and i pogged #the little details........

I have a question that I haven't seen asked yet: is magic and other supernatural phenomena a known and accepted thing in Hi Note's world?

Oh, Hi-Note takes place on basically the exact same earth as the one we live in--with the only difference being that the Hi-Note characters (and all things related to them) exist. So, just like in our world, there are people who believe in the supernatural, and many who do not lmao

#For context #I live in Thailand--where every house #and I mean EVERY HOUSE #and shop #and mall #has a smaller house built upon a ceremoniously selected part of the property #for the spirits and such to comfortably live in. #and it is important to leave food and drink for them in front of their little house. #Not doing so--or building the spirit house in the wrong place #can be disasterous. #So...I think... #we do live in a world where magic and supernatural phenomenon are known and accepted more than you might realize :D #and that is (more or less) the same world that Margie Raf and Cortes inhabit.

My depictions of Linda's Cousins (minus Valerie as we already saw her). My headcanon is that they're all from Al's side of the family.

It feels quite cinematic of Ally to roll another fucking INCREDIBLE story 20, stand up and immediately like break a bunch of fucking things behind them, and then aggressively chug what I’m assuming is an energy drink as Murph dutifully covers the label to protect d20 from being liable.

#only at dimension 20 huh folks #ALLY BEARDSLEY MUST BE A LIL BIT MAGIC #when it’s important to the story they have such a high chance of rolling a Nat 20 I swear #Kristen HEALED A GOD by apologizing #you gotta honor the Nat 20 and heal the god I guess #dimension 20 #d20 #fantasy high #fantasy high spoilers #fantasy high junior year #fhjy #fhjy ep 5 #mall madness #mall madness spoilers #ally beardsley #ally Beardsley’s iconic Nat 20s #Brian Murphy #intrepid heroes #hi intrepid heroes #live reaction

#i was watching hallmark's “a mystic christmas” w my parents earlier for shits and giggles #bc it's only like a town over from where we live #and nothing made sense like. spatially. #like at one point this kid is walking to school and apparently she had to go through a shopping mall to get there?? #and later the main character is at said mall and needed to go to the aquarium and her love interest is like #“take my car” like dude it's a thirty second walk across the parking lot #it'll take longer to find a parking spot this time of day #BUT ANYWAY the thing took place at the aquarium and it reminded me #of this^ argument i got in w my friend the other day #rachel rants
