Everyone calls Dream a pathetic petty little baby girl and like, yeah he is - but 

And the characters themselves are like Morpheus is cold, unfeeling, harsh, cruel and yeah he can be and he holds intense grudges - but 

I haven't really seen anyone talk about the scene where he's facing the Corinthian, who Morpheus admits was his masterpiece. And our favourite nightmare pointedly says that Dream doesn't care about humanity. He only cares about himself, and his realm and his rules. 

Morpheus sort of gets exasperated here, like really dude? And tells us he contains the entire collective unconscious, without his rules it would consume him and humanity. Like maybe he's been there before, or close to it. He admitted he lost an entire universe before because he didn't take out their vortex.

His voice trembles on the word consume, like its always there, ready to crush him, like he's constantly battling, like he's tired, like no one's ever really asked, understood or comprehended that before and he's admitting it for maybe the first time or it's one of the very few. And of all the beings he's admitting it to the Corinthian who throws it in his face.

Death more or less says dream mopes and he should get over it. Fiddler's Green insinuates he's almost incapable of apology or empathy. Lucienne believes he dismisses their efforts and that he's harsh with his punishments. Gault in their defiance tries to make him see that things should be capable of change and wanting something different. 

No one seems to get the truth of him? Or part of it. Or if they do it's not apparent and it seems a great tragedy to me. When he says the entire collective unconscious, I'm assuming he means entire, as in not just human - as in all life including other species we don't know of, that are otherwise 'alien'. It seems almost unfathomable to me no one stops to think he's the way he is for a reason. 

Every single unconscious thought, decision, fear, nightmare, dream, hope - anything and everything that can manifest in dreams from the nonsensical and absurd to disturbing and whimsical, including concepts we don't even understand as humans. That is what Morpheus is made of. The screams dying in throats as people wake from horrors, the reoccurring scenes of falling, being chased, being late, the grief from loved ones dying, flying, school, sex - the ones that don't make any sense. 

The nightmares that are so real and strong you can't get back to sleep. The dreams that are so sweet or fantastic you wake up mourning their loss. Day dreams, dreams that pick up where they left off, lucid dreams, depraved and disturbing dreams. The little thoughts we have about others we'd never say out loud or tell another living soul but they exist. It's all real, part of what makes us who we are and every other being that can dream - no wonder Morpheus' voice trembles on the word consume. That has to be near maddening? Like he's riding the line between insanity at any given moment because dreams can be entirely bizarre as much as they can hold significant meaning. 

So he mopes? He's distant? He's cruel or uncaring. Unfeeling in how he operates - I feel like I would be too if I contained the concepts of the entirety of existence - everything his siblings govern exists in his realm in the form of dreams. You can dream about desire, death, destruction, delirium, destiny, despair, all of it. He doesn't feel enough? Distant? Ungrateful? 

I think he feels too much, way too much and he can only push it down so far, or hold it back just enough. It makes him seem so delicate in my mind, like those who bottle and bottle. Pushing everything down or back just to keep functioning and then one little thing makes them snap. Suddenly you've damned your former lover to ten thousand years in hell because that amount of time and processing doesn't seem unreasonable against the impossibly incomprehensible thing that is existences unconscious. Let's not forget the souls in hell or every other afterlife, if they also dream, the concept of dreams as goals, the act of dreaming, creation and destruction, every nasty little thought, every fucked up thing anyone has ever comprehended and every joy. 

Maybe that's why everyone's harsh on him in my eyes, that he should have all this perspective but seemingly doesn't? But he believes what he does because he has that perspective and some things within that spectrum do not change, they repeat because there's only so much that can exist, and that has to be tiresome. 

But honestly, the other Endless, dreams and nightmares should realise what he's dealing with? Especially those close to him, or orbiting because no one is ever really close, and if dreams and nightmares can dream then Morpheus should know those too. I'd probs keep everyone away from me if I was a scrambled construct of emotions.

Fuck me up honestly. My tiny human brain is snapping trying to even comprehend the inner workings of Dream. None of this even makes sense. Just let the man rest, give the baby girl some slack. He's got both feet off the edge and no one's got his back. I'm tired now.

TLDR: Dream probably is the way he is because being who he is, is a lot.

Spoilers for philzs latest qsmp . Vod/stream

This is just a 3:13 thought that I had after finishing his video. I followed her. As for any misspelling, is there maybe? I'm using the microphone off my phone. And it is incredibly late, and I should be in bed. But it said I'm writing this,

This is a reminder for all the lovely crows. Most avians tend to go incredibly mad when left without their children turning more aggressive. The longer they are part and being the left with what is basically a threat, their children are dead. As well as most bird Species not doing well and confinement, with no one socializing with causing them to have depression and all source of other birdie and illnesses.

With that being said, I think philza is doing well, don't you?

It’s exhausting figuring yourself out at 36. I really thought I was done with this shit by now but alas, I’m apparently not.

It’s not like I haven’t got other shit on my mind right now - like figuring out how to get my business to survive, how to make enough money to live and other fun adult stuff like that.

I don’t have time for an internal crisis at this point, thank you very much.

Changing perspective in Good Omens

Sometimes, when I watch Good Omens, I look at a scene and wonder what that would look like from a different point of view. Let me elaborate...

Maggie: Aziraphale comes over to ask her about a song, she bursts into tears, pours out her heart about how she's in love with Nina, and her weird, generous landlord says "I'm sorry, I'm a bit out of miracles at the moment". Now, if Maggie is anything like me, she'll probably lie in bed at night, crying her eyes out, because even her kind and generous landlord thinks that it requires a mircale for anyone to fall in love with her, because onviously, she's not enough as she is.

Sitis: She's just trying to process the loss of her livelihood and children, when this entirely useless bunch of angels shows up, demanding that she praises God for giving her sheep and for promising her 7 new (?!) children. I mean, WTF! So as she's processing that, Bildad the Shuite comes in, suddenly claiming to be experienced in the realms of obstetrics, and telling her "to get started". Just imagine what's going through that woman's head in that very moment, as Bildad rubs his hands together and looks at her like he's got a plan... I mean, I certainly wouldn't turn down Bildaddy, but even I would object to the on-looking angels in that situation :-D And I'm not married or grief-stricken which might be a turn-off, let's be honest...

Long ass negative rant about a silly idol game story because I'm annoying and that shit has been eating away at my sanity for this week and I need to get this out of my chest

I had low expectations for the story but man I am still some how disappointed. I have a disdain for alkaloid and Crazy:B constantly mashed together since the abomination that was Romantic?date and the current event is sadly reaffirming that feeling even more.

To start off , while I liked the interactions between some of the characters , in general I felt they were mostly shallow and just felt like they were regurgitating the same constant shitty jokes without developing the existing relationships between them or building up new ones between characters that didn't have the chance to properly know each other yet. (Like for example, personally, I am so so tired of those embarrassing awful cannibalism jokes between mayoi and Niki that their dynamic is mostly based on, especially since that's most of Niki's Screentime in the story) And a lot of interactions just feels like soulless ship-bait that flies by even worse when you hate 90% of the ships they're baiting.(Enstars always had those kinds of moments but there were times when they felt genuine and added at least a bit to the characters and the dynamics between them, while here it's just painful to read) Sometimes I even felt like the characters were basically caricatures of themselves.

Also , the story is currently 26 chapters long with more dreadfully coming soon, but it feels like nothing happened so far which is alarming knowing that we're already 2/3 into the story. After just reading , I barely remember anything that happened besides the awful moments. Nothing feels like it has any significance whether it's to the characters involved or the reader. I mean , going back to the village felt like nothing more than a background change so they can continue doing nothing but in an old house this time instead of a studio as well as an opportunity for aira to be racist again, which shouldn't be the case considering it was the place both Amagis grew up in and have complicated feelings about. Especially for Rinne who was shunned all his life by the village for his status as future "monarch" and for his mindset which led him to run away to the city to pursue his passion of being an idol, so a thing as big as returning there (even if the main immediate conflict was solved by the end of the main story) should hold more weight than him just being a little bit mopey on the way there. Also they straight up just pulled a Turkish drama by introducing some random kid that came out of nowhere just so they'll get some "shocking" twist about his real identity that no one really cares about and that adds nothing to the already existing characters and only takes focus away from them. (Anyways my bet at this point is that he's secretly akanP's son and she's somehow related to the Amagis or even better, she was actually their mom all along or something but I digress) at this point I'd rather hear more about the weird and complicated Godfather nonsense than whatever's going on here

And didn't even get to aira racism. it was already unfortunately established as a character trait for him so it was unsurprising for him to act that way. Even then, him describing his prejudiced views in great Detail was so shocking and tasteless and left a bad impression of the whole story for most even when aira gets reprimanded and scolded for saying such things immediately after because it's obvious that the writer won't put in any effort to make the character outgrow his awful views. So even if we take it in good faith and assume that the writer was intending on mocking and criticizing those views , the whole thing feels tasteless and tone deaf because of how badly written everything is, especially considering Akira's less than favorable track record in handling topics like racism.

All of this is a huge shame considering they actually mention interesting things that they most likely won't bother exploring in the future that would much rather have them focus on instead of whatever we got (like Kaname being mentioned and tatsumi guessing something is up with HiMERU, Niki knowing what cooked human meat smells like which alludes to his father's past which we literally have only been getting crumbs of since the main story as well as Niki's complicated relationship with being an idol and his low self-esteem. just to name a few)

What makes everything worse is for how long the event has been teased and how it has been hyped up as this GRAND FINALE that finally wraps up the alkaloid/Crazy:B plotline. And if THIS is what we get I'm very concerned about what is to come. I know that we're only through 2/3 of the story so far, but I doubt they'll be able to get back up from this garbage this late into the story

I know that I'm writing this in the heat of my emotions and this is all silly and doesn't matter and I'll probably be over it by next week , but it's such a shame to see a series that can do WAYY better sink this low.

Everyone's always telling me, "Allo I think you need to see Dr. Party", "Dude you need therapy", "Suckface I don't mean to get serious but you seriously need help dude, even more than the rest of us..." No I don't. Quit telling me that, I've heard it countless times. I'll be fine. There's no way im talking to that polka-dotted furball about my feelings. Partially because I don't know them, and also because there's no discussion to be had. I'm fine.

Ok, if I'm gonna take a cold shower to not overheat, I gotta have at least like 2mins of hot water in the middle. It soothes the soul. It calms the beast within. That's my emotional support hot water and you can pry it from my sweaty dead hands.

Here are my rambling Daddies brainthoughts re: Henry and the Resurrect spell, which I’m going to put under a cut because I think I’ve infected at least one person with this podcast and don’t want to spoil. No one needs to read this, but it’s in my brain and you have the misfortune of following me on Tumblr, so here you are, spoilers for Goblin and beyond.

I’m relistening to the Talking Dad for “Goblin,” and I got to the part where Will says that Henry would have cast Resurrect on Glenn if Willy had killed him in that episode. It was funny because I listened to all the episodes before listening to all the Talking Dads, so I’d already heard the episode where Henry and Autumn try it and it fails. My tepid take is that if Willy had killed Glenn in “Goblin,” Anthony would have let them resurrect Glenn. There are the practical immediate reasons, which are that mourning Glenn’s death would have derailed the anchor arc by at least a few episodes and it was time to get to Willy and Ron, but I also just - don’t think it would have felt complete. It’s pretty clear why Anthony didn’t let them resurrect him after his actual death - the stakes needed to feel real, the final battle was coming, and thematically it made the most sense for it to be him on every level (tune in next week for me pontificating on how it’s wild that the most ridiculous character is also arguably the most tragic one, though it’s a toss-up between him and Henry). And obviously Nick and Jodie are in hell, and in a lot of ways that’s actually what Glenn needed for his story to be complete. But Anthony talks in that Talking Dad about wanting that scene to feel . . . earned, and real, with real stakes, and Glenn’s death works thematically then in a way that wouldn’t be the same if it happened in the middle of Ron’s big emotional arc. Those few episodes actually made a crucial difference in Glenn’s story (getting to help the dads out, getting to have those last important conversations with Darryl and then with all of them, even getting to have that one-on-one with Lark), and the stakes were more real since he needed to do something for them - and I think that if it had happened earlier, for all his promises that stakes are real, Anthony would have let them bring him back for the sake of it not feeling incomplete.

Rey as Inuyasha, Ben as Kagome, Finn as sango and Poe as Miroku, Dathan as Toga and Miramir as Izayoi aslo Bazine as Naraku

Hi nonnieee!! sorry for the really late reply...i hardly get asks ever so this one was a surprise :)

Inukag and reylo?! on my dash? more likely than you think!! love both ship but i don't think rey and kylo's dinamic can be applied to inuyasha and kagome, even if i can see some resemblance between rey and inuyasha. BUT i have great news for you! there's a new ff on ao3, a star wars au, by AnisaAnisa and BoFlicker that has inuyasha and kagome as rey and kylo, in this order :D it's called IRREDEEMABLE! It's on my to read list and i can't wait to read it!!!

I can see Sango as Finn (even if I think Sango has more depth as a character compared to Finn that unfortunately has the depth of a puddle imo) and Miroku is a flirt like Poe so yesss!

honestly i had to google who dathan and miramir were...i didn't even know that disney gave rey's parents names, after tros i gave up on sw stuff. i don't know about their story or how they came to be an item and i can hardly remember why they left rey on jakku but in my mind they were shitty parents. on the contrary, i believe that if Izayoi and Toga had had the opportunity they wouldn't have abandoned their son, they would've raised him against all adversity.

As for Naraku, i think grandpa Palpie fits better on the role, you know the evil guy that sems impossible to annihilate and all that stuff.

And that's it nonnie, thanks for your ask and sorry for the long reply...i tend to ramble when asked about something i really like ^o^''

why do i feel the need to tell a bunch of random people on the internet good night even when it’s not nighttime for them?

who knows.

probably the same reason i always messaged my friends good night every day growing up

probably the same reason i insisted on texting my girlfriend good night every single night from the day we started talking to the night after it was over

but who knows what that reason is

either way

good night my lovely folks :)
