My stress dreams mostly take the shape of navigating unnavigable spaces, but the space is consistent across dreams. They are real places except utterly unreal. False cities.

new york city, in my dreams

A vast city of brownstones with no end, but I always find myself on the same street with green trees casting a dappled shade over ever thing. It’s dense with low those red brick houses and parked cars.

If you walk down the steps to the basement of the houses you would find vast unmarked shops, empty in their centre, and customers crowded into corners. If you were to walk up the steps into a home it would be empty. All white walls and narrow rooms.

There is a train in this city, if you are able to find it’s entrance. It’s a gash in the ground where the packed streets converge into a spiral. You enter impossibly deeper and deeper inside it. It’s hard to leave once you enter.

The walls are white brick. The platforms are white brick. The maze of hallways and stairs descends deeper to a network of too many train lines. You descend stairs to platforms merely ten feet long or a different set of stairs to a platform that stretches impossibly long into the dark. The tracks and platforms intersect haphazardly, and if the trains didn’t run quite on time you know they would run each other through.

If you get on a train, you can take it to the outer reaches of the city. I have not gotten off in the north, but I’ve seen the landscape out the train windows. It is made of small sandy islands that the train stays far above. It takes a long slow and circuitous route. The train rarely stops, just passes over places that desperately need it to stop there. There are so many train lines but they so rarely share stations with one another. A passenger has no choice but to ride a trains long winding two hour route to their destination.

In the South, the train moves around a neighborhood set into the curve of a mountain. There is only station here, and when you exit you take a long winding path down the mountain into the neighborhood. The houses and streets are as tightly packed as they are in the city centre, but here they are built into the curves of the mountain. It’s hard to distinguish between plant, brick, house, and geology. It’s also where all the interesting people doing thankless work live.

Walking north from mountainous neighborhood, you approach the southern beach. There is a long, flat, wide bridge only slightly above the water level, made from planks of wood. It has no guardrails. It is essentially a massive boardwalk. Next to the bridge is a set of train tracks level with the water, but no train comes here anymore. Following the boardwalk takes you to a small flat island of sand. You could walk from side to side in under five minutes but it would take an hour to walk the length. There are houses here too, uncomfortably far apart from one another and fading into a haze of heat and pollution. This is the only place you can afford to live. It’s entirely exposed. It will be washed away in the next storm.

#i wrote out these dream cities several years ago so i could remember them clearly and map them #i have one for Philadelphia too #New York and Philadelphia and the Montreal Airport are my big three reoccurring dream spaces #text

morgan's reaction to reid revealing he's never been to new york is so funny to me. maybe it's that he says his first line:

jj speaks:

(two sidenotes: one: jj is very cute here. two: why is she sitting like that)

and then morgan keeps going:

i think it would be less funny to me if there wasn't a beat between his two lines because it gives the impression that he's just Stuck on this train of thought. if hotch hadn't stopped their silliness to remind them that they're in a crime show would he have kept going. "it's four hours in your gay little car! it's a 24 hour 34 minute bike ride! it's a 112 hour walk! what is wrong with you!"

#im sorry im not funny #derek morgan #uhhhh idk if i should tag reid or jj im mostly talking about morgan here #w/e #i got the times from google maps van ness (where i THINK reid lives???) to new york in general. i know little of american geography so thos #numbers might be totally off #complete tangent but i always get so thrown off when americans talk about states like this #like when im reminded how small the states are compared to our provinces #what do you mean it's four-ish hours to drive several(?) states over. why is your country in such little pieces #for context: from edmonton (capital city of my province) to the capital cities of the adjacent provinces (british columbia and saskatchewan #it is 14hrs 17mins and 7hrs 22mins respectively if you drive #and when i last visited bc we drove and it was eighteen-ish hours to get where we were going #not fic #criminal minds #criminal minds rewatch #criminal minds s01e17 #a real rain

New York City Is Sinking Satellite data has revealed that parts of the New York City metropolitan area are sinking at different rates. While the average elevation change is -0.06 inches (1.6 millimeters) per year, it can enhance local flood risk linked to sea level rise. Scientists analyzed upward and downward vertical land motion—also known as uplift and subsidence—across the metropolitan area from 2016 to 2023. Much of the motion they observed occurred in areas where prior modifications to Earth's surface—such as land reclamation and the construction of landfills—made the ground looser and more compressible beneath subsequent buildings. Using the radars on the ESA (European Space Agency) Sentinel-1 satellites, along with advanced data processing techniques, they mapped the motion in detail and pinpointed neighborhoods and landmarks—down to the LaGuardia Airport runway and Arthur Ashe tennis stadium—that are subsiding more rapidly than the average.

This map depicts the differing rates at which parts of New York City are sinking. Click on the map to learn more.

Released a new update to my Minehattan map. You can check it out here: https://www.planetminecraft.com/project/mini-manhattan/

New buildings:

- United Nations Secretariat Building

- 383 Madison Avenue

- Trump World Tower

- One & Two United Nations Plaza

- Tudor City (partially)

- Bloomberg Tower

- Updated 780 Third Avenue

- 919 Third Avenue

- 909 Third Avenue

- Burroughs Building

- Continental Can Building

- 2 Park Avenue

New tenement blocks have been added, primarily around 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Lexington Avenue and 8th, 9th, 10th Avenue.

3x6 in size, they were granted by the city of Minehattan to anyone who didn't have funds to build their own house. People could secretly expand their house, by demolishing interior walls between their and their neighbours house, but this practice was strongly punished up until 1940s. So if city official found out you and your neighbour expanded your house(es), you both could end up homeless from the amount of debt amassed from fines.

*No, I'm not replacing 270 Park Avenue. They should have just build a new building on the small annex behind the 270 Park tower instead of just demolishing the entire building. **My blog is primarily furry stuff but I also do a lot of builds in Minecraft. If you're only interested in my minecraft builds, follow me on PlanetMinecraft. If you like both minecraft and furry things, then follow me here or wherever on my Carrd.
