#last night i had finished reading shiki because six years ago a friend recommended it to me so all the characters in the dream looked

[bmpmp3]

Last night I had a dream where there were these dudes who were like....fairy god mothers or something? Like some kinda guardian angel or like, magical girl mascot mentor creature (in the sense of that's the story role they took, they looked like normal humans lol) and they all had their specific assigned person (in the dream all the humans assigned to these people were girls for some reason which is why i make the magical girl mascot mentor comparison lol) and they had like, subtle magical powers? wasnt super bombastic, their abilities, but they could conjure a thing or two, they're main job was basically protect their person and try to cheer them up, that kinda thing

So like the main character of the dream was the new guy, he was like a brand new fairy godmother and his character was sorta the very low energy and stoic type with a grumpy looking face, so both he and his peers were kinda worried he would struggle actually making his assigned person happy so he vowed to himself that he was gonna really put his all into this and like try to front like a super outgoing person

So he meets his person and she's the daughter of a super rich family in a big mansion with lots of maids and everything and her parents are super busy with business or rich people things or whatever so she's usually pretty alone, shes very quiet and like, the archetype of the Perfect Non-confrontational Smart And Pleasant Daughter so the fairy godmother guy really struggles with her at first cause he just can't figure out what to do for her, every time he asks if there's anything she'd like him to do like make her a cool outfit or give her a present shes just like I don't need anything and smiles and leaves so he starts trying out anything like throwing her a party with all the maids or giving her flashy presents and he tries to be super fun and outgoing but she doesn't seem particularly interested in any of it, just kinda smiles and walks away every time, it isn't until later when

Wait hold up here's an aside but in the dream the fairy god mothers looked like really average humans like just some guy in a t shirt and jeans but they're not human and they don't really need to eat and at night they sleep super weird so like lots of people in this girls town have their own fairy godmother and every night they all go to a lake in the middle of the town and like, take shitty lil rowboats into the middle and like hibernate there the whole night...

Anyway one night when the girls fairy godmother was going off to the lake to sleep when he noticed how late the girl's parents pulled into her mansions driveway and he was like damn they're never home when she's awake huh... The next day is the girls birthday and Mr fairy godmother realizes that her parents probably won't be there to celebrate it for her so he hatches a plan to set up a birthday party for her before she wakes up, so he works on that but he's doing it all by himself this time, no help from the maids or even his fellow fairy godmothers, so he basically ended up with a bunch of the dinkiest homemade decorations and an ugly (but delicious) cake that he decorated himself (it just said "birthday :) " in messy letters lol) and he basically works the whole night on it so when it's finally day and the girl comes down and sees the dorky lil party he set up he's too tired to put on a high energy front so he's just kinda sleepy and stoic and is like "happy birthday zzzzzz" and the girl hugs him and cries a lil bit of happy tears cause it turns out all this girl wanted was a friend who was honest with himself so she could be honest with him too so she wouldn't have to put on the perfect daughter front anymore and now he's being honest even if it's dorky so she finally opens up to him hzgdbsjs it was very cute and sappy

Don't read the bottom half of this dream if you want it to stay cute tho cause my subconscious decided that the next part should be inexplicably dark for some reason qwq

Anyway the fairy godmother and his girl have a lot more fun and they becomes very cute friends and it's very sweet and then one night on the lake when he's tryna sleep he noticed one other fairy godmother who's boat is usually next to him isn't around so he goes looking for his sleep neighbor when he finds him on the edge of the lake covered in blood (not his own, also I don't know if the fairy god mothers have blood) next to a pile of bodies of a whole bunch of fairy godmother's assigned people (I don't know if his girl was in there too or if she was still fine oof) and the (absolutely horrified) main character godmother is like bruh why and the other fairy godmother was like "there's a flaw in our programming" and then I woke up at that point and I was like whadda hell was that last bit and then I got up and ate a waffle

#dream journal #last night i had finished reading shiki because six years ago a friend recommended it to me so all the characters in the dream looked #like shiki character designs that is to say they looked like fucked up yugioh characters #also impromptu review for shiki: it was kinda bad and not in the way that i usually like bad stuff gdbrjejd #i mean it was fine....but man i heard it described as a slow burn bro this wasnt slowburn horror #this was like super fast burn for the first third and then stagnant for the rest #and i mean i love me some dramatic irony but god i just dont think it worked here #it basically answers all your questions about the mystery in the first few chapters which can be okay in some stories #but here i dont think it worked honestly instead of feeling dread watching these characters who dont know what i know really go thru it #i was just kinda okay alright i get it can we move on hurry it up babe i got shit to do #i think it was cuz all the chapters with dramatic irony were written like straight mysteries instead of like we know but thr characters don #like it was written like were supposed to be wondering whats going on even tho weve know for like seven chapters now #it was mainly a framing problem #also the messaging was a lil muddled later on especially how hard the last third goes on tryna get you to feel bad for the shiki #i dunno i just felt it was kinda a mess #there were some cool ideas and scenes tho especially early on #vampire media really already has an uphill battle to make me like it cause i feel so little towards vampires #so alas shiki couldnt do it #i did think it was hilarious the werewolf guy with the yugioh hair and the fattest ass youve ever seen #like one shot of him was supposed to be scary but i was too distracted by that cake #anyway yeah for some reason all the characters in the dream looked like shiki characters despite having nothing to do with em lol
