Heyo! If you've commissioned me in the past you probably know I send most of my files via google drive link. Today i'm going in and moving all those files to my storage account, so if you lose access feel free to message me and I can re-send you the correct link!

well my cat turned off my PC halfway through writing this so I lost the first attempt but here we go

So in my dream last night I was Meridian. For whatever reason I was trying to catch every single pokemon. Why I was doing this I have no idea, but it isn't out of character for him. Rather than the pokemon being stored inside a PC they were stored in this random field outside some house. This is important because I did not own this house. Either way the house itself was massive. Like, gothic mansion massive. Style too. This thing looked like trouble from the very start but I did not care or pay any attention to that fact.

So I have all the pokemon out lined up trying to figure out what ones I'm missing and what ones I have. I didn't have a pokedex on me so this entire endeavor was entirely written out on a checklist on paper. Every pokemon I had was all lined up in a row in no real particular order. Also important to mention that I only, or mostly, had fully evolved pokemon. Which as Meridian also makes sense. Like yeah a living dex is cool and all, but for purely scientific research and not a video game incentive why have all these baby and juvenile pokemon running around?

So I'm inside the house noting down everything when suddenly there's this crash. All the pokemon start panicking and I run over to see what happened. One of the rooms in the house had been blasted open and was on fire and it was quickly catching the rest of the house on fire. The blast split the room in two, with one half being unable to escape without getting burnt. I scooped these pokemon up and carried them all to safety as I evacuated everyone outside the house. Among these pokemon was a little baby piplup which I kinda just carried around for the rest of the dream. It was very scared and didn't want to leave my side.

Eventually everyone is outside and that's when I saw it. Standing on the top of the roof was a very familiar looking Wyvern. Saros. Saros, being one of Meridian's many enemies, was furious that I was here. Apparently this house belonged to him and "This is my property, so everything here belongs to me. And because its mine I can do whatever I want with it". Not only was he claiming ownership over all the pokemon, but also myself. Cue the HOURS long battle between me and Saros

I don't usually fight in my dreams. Usually when a "fight" starts it's just me running frantically while the other person chases me. No punches thrown, no injuries had. This fight was an actual goddamn fight. That wyvern clawed into my chest and back with his claws. I was punched and tail whipped and thrown to the ground from great heights. It hurt. Very badly. And I could tell there was no way in hell I was getting out of this alive so I did the only thing I could think to do and ran before he managed to murder me. The second I left the property line Saros had no interest in me, so I fled as far as I could to recuperate and try again.

So I don't really know what happened next. I think a time jump took place because suddenly everything was different and I was an entirely different person, but it was still in the span of this dream. I was a pokemon now. What one exactly I don't really know. I know I was a four legged smaller one. Maybe umbreon? Which would make sense because Saros was inspired by an umbreon lunala hybrid I made years ago. Yeah let's just say Umbreon. So I'm now an Umbreon and I'm in this little cave with a few other scattered escapees from the attack. The piplup was there with me too which was fun. We were all trying to figure out what to do, but in true pokemon fashion none of us actually spoke at all. We all just said our names like in the anime and somehow we all understood what we were trying to say, which was super trippy looking back.

Hope seemed lost, as all the pokemon that didn't escape the house were now enslaved by Saros and Meridian was nowhere to be seen. Meridian was gone so our little group's plan was to find Matrix. For those of you who don't know my characters (most of you I assume) Matrix is what Meridian turns into after he dies, but because he's a time wraith the set timeline has no meaning on him and blah blah blah Matrix and Meridian co-exist with Matrix being this vow of silence helpful ghost that prevents Meridian from getting himself killed. In the span of the dream I didn't know they were the same person. I just assumed that Matrix would be able to help if we could free him because he helped Meridian all the time

Matrix was being held captive by Saros inside the mansion. We decided to send me inside (me as the umbreon now) in an attempt to find and free him. But I had to be undercover because if I wasn't I'd just be killed or enslaved. So I sneak inside the property. The outdoors had basically been totally deforested and all the water was pure mud. There was mud everywhere because it was raining and at one point I slipped and fell inside and became totally covered head to toe in mud. All the pokemon outside were elated to see me, but all of them kept quiet because they knew I hadn't been captured by Saros yet. They ushered me inside via a workers door and soon enough I saw the true horrors of this place.

The entire inside of the place was a wreck. Scars from the past battle were still there, now worn with weather and time. The roof leaked and all the pokemon inside were dressed like butlers and maids. I was tracking mud everywhere and at one point I was found by a worker and taken to the bath area of the house. This bath was the only place in the entire house that was in pristine condition. It'd also been turned into a pokemon breeding/daycare type area. After I was washed up they paired me with a Spinda who was like.. Oddly into it. We were in this big dressing room type area and she was asking what I wanted to do and what she should wear and blah blah blah and I just got super depressed because it dawned on me that I probably couldn't save Meridian or Matrix even if I wanted to because I was a single umbreon against the entire pokedex AND a literal drake. I suddenly got super depressed and just did not care at all.

The spinda was like trying to get dressed up cute and trying to get me to play along and I was just depressingly sipping on whatever drink we had been given. It was a shared bowl with two straws and it looked like it had cereal in it but I wasn't drinking milk? IDK what it was but I was sipping it while laying on my stomach like a dog who'd given up on life.

After seeing we weren't, uh, breeding, Saros had me put in a collar and taken away to work somewhere else in the house. I was taken to the top floor where there was an open roof and this big cauldron type thing. I was going to give up on life right then and there when I noticed a small cage dangling from the ceiling. The cage was only large enough to hold a single skill, but knowing Matrix he WAS a single skull with his body being made of smoke

I had found Matrix. Only issue was, I had to free him. breaking out of my sadness I barked some "bre, bre, umbreon!!" style insults at Saros before initiating battle. But... I was unable to see the outcome. Right as the battle started my alarm went off. So uh. The story has no real ending. But now it's canon that, if Meridian had access to pokemon (he doesn't) he'd have a shiny Umbreon and a piplup on his team lmao

SIT DOWN AND BUCKLE UP BECAUSE THIS ONES A TRIP! also I haven't posted a dream in awhile. I've had several, but the more personal ones I keep to myself. Y'all don't need to know the deep dark corners of my mind ahahaha.

Anyway. This dream starts off as my newest D&D party off going somewhere in a city. I'm Taz, Data is there, and so is Soot. Although for some reason Soot acts like brian from family guy the entire dream. It's raining really hard and looking outside we can see a tornado starting to form. We're in the heart of the city near what looks like the butterfly biosphere near my house. We're also right next to a supermarket. The party is walking fast trying to get to one of the buildings before the weather gets to us when suddenly we're stopped in our tracks as the tornado pulls out in front of us. Luckily it doesn't get anyone in the party, just some poor teenager walking out of the store. He gets yeeted 21308420 feet into the air and crashes down hard into the roof of the market. He's groaning in agony and soot asks if he's ok when the kids dad chimes in and is all "You should be asking if I'm ok, I just watched my son get launched 4000 feet in the air by a tornado!!". The kid just groaned at this and said he'd be fine, but we needed to get inside.

So the party and this kid all get brought into the biosphere type place. Inside is mostly barred aside from the very centre where there's this nice old timey cabin type room. Also all the outer walls of this building were made of chain link and concrete and it didn't have doors. It had fence gates we had to chain closed. When we got inside the kid had us chain and lock all the gates even though other people were desperately trying to get in. We kinda just shooed them off and told them the place was closed. Oddly enough they all acted like NPCs with a pathing interruption because when they couldn't get inside they just continued walking down the path outside even if the tornado sucked them up. Eventually we did get everything chained up and at that point we all went towards the cabiny room. It looked like my uncles living room for the most part. Two big old couches, two more fluffy recliners, a TV, fireplace, candy machines, toys everywhere for grandkids. We figured we'd be safe here. We were very wrong.

Taz for those of you who don't know is neutral evil. She's also a rogue multiclass. So the second I get inside this room and we're all locked up I begin poking around at all the belongings to see if there's anything valuable I can take. Suddenly, as I'm doing this, I become very VERY short. Like... 1 foot tall short. I think it was after I picked up a book but I don't remember 100%. That's when I heard a laugh. it was a weird echoy laugh that sounded far away so I wanted to see if everyone else heard it. I wandered over to Data and asked him and he just looked at me confused. So I walked over to soot and the kid and soot was also confused, but the kid was just like "Woah, who left their baby in here?". As it turned out, I'd been turned into a baby. I was still wearing my normal clothes (just shrunken) and I still had my normal mind, but whenever I talked only I could understand. I kept asking the party what was going on and if they could understand me and they just kept looking at me confused like I was speaking baby babbles. Naturally this pissed me off, but luckily because the only people around knew me personally they didn't treat me like a baby.

I'm now a baby trapped in a house unable to communicate with my friends. What to do now? Continue rummaging around for valuables, of course! Or just anything to keep me entertained. I looted around this bookshelf for some time when I eventually found something terrifying. So like, you know how in video games with achievements it'll sometimes say what the achievement's name is as a hint towards what to do? This book was full to the brim with things like that. The worst part? The book implied we were trapped in this building.

the first several achievements were pretty mundane. Hell, we'd already unlocked a few of them. One was to get into the building, one was to "help our guide", one was to explore every room. But then I saw one currently in progress that said "spend the whole day as a baby". So whatever turned me into one was clearly intentional. It was the guide part that weirded me out. Was the kid with the broken arm part of all this? was this a trap?

I didn't care too much. Not after seeing something written at the bottom of the page. There was a quest at the bottom. A very odd one. the long and short of it was if I flipped through the rest of the pages of this book and found 3 mice, 2 geese, and 4 rabbits, copied the pages, sized them up, and brought them to a porta potty 75 feet up from ground level I'd be rewarded with the love of my life. It was worded differently than that which made it sound a lot less storybook fairytale but I can't for the life of me remember it word for word. I was intrigued by this. Like yeah having the love of your life is cool and all, but what are the logistics of that? If I complete this quest does some woman just spawn in front of me out of the ether? is some woman from anywhere on the globe ripped from her home and teleported over to me?? Do I pick who it is and they just somehow become my perfect match? Like, it didn't make sense to me. I decided I was going to do it because it was a simple task and I couldn't really do much else as a baby.

So I start going through the book and it's this nice little picture book of woodland animals all gathering for a picnic. As I found each animal I bookmarked it with a scrap piece of paper with a label on it. Eventually I flipped through the whole book and found each animal as requested. The mice were the hardest btw. There were 4 geese on one page and the rabbits came in pairs of 2 ever page they showed up on, but the mice were small and hidden in the background and there was only one at a time. Once I found and bookmarked every instance I flipped back to the goal page and brought the book over to data. I figured he'd be able to help me scan the book and scale up to bring to this place. He... Did not help. When data grabbed the book he grabbed it so loosly that all the bookmarks fell out. I tried yelling at him to be careful but I was still a baby so I couldn't talk. After all the bookmarks had fallen out I grabbed the book away from him and angrily pointed to the goal on the one page. He still didn't get it so I just took it away from him and tried to find all the animals again. I did, and the same thing happened when I showed the book to soot. In a fit of rage I tore out the pages with the animals, grabbed Soot, and began marching my way up to this porta potty that was apparently 75 feet above ground level.

It was still raining outside. At this point it was basically a Sewie and brian episode of family guy as this baby and a fluffy avali kobold marched through town looking for any elevated place this porta potty might be. I managed to find it on top of this hill that was almost a 90 degree incline. The rain made it all muddy and hard to climb but I got it eventually. At the top there was a porta potty, and when I held the pages out the stall door opened and the fucking kid who had a broken arm comes out of it. He scans it over and says I got everything. But there's a part 2 to this. Now that I got the pages I must bring him a few other things. What they all were exactly I don't remember. I only really remember 2 of them. One was a fried egg, and the other was the last thing I had to bring him. A picture of his favourite cartoon character. But that one I didn't know immedeatly. At first I only had to get him three items including the fried egg.

so I set off. After getting back to the biosphere I noticed that the interior layout had changed. Rather than being empty aside from the cabin room it was now a big two story college campus type place with the cabin room in the centre. But rather than classrooms there were different landscapes that seemingly expanded indefinitely. The first one I went into was a very old neighborhood. There were these strange almost 3d printed walls everywhere made out of clay. Some were hardened while others were soft wet clay. As I walked down the streets suddenly my mom showed up and began walking beside me. Not my IRL mom, Taz's mom. For reference Taz's mom died while she was a teenager so this was a surprise to say the least. I ran over to talk to her but she couldn't undertsand me. She did know who I was, though, and the whole scenatio for a bit played out like a mother taking their young child to the park. That is, until we ran into a weird street race type thing?

There were these five teenage boys at the end of the street near this big tree with massive roots. They were all spinning beyblades off the root of the tree and seeing how far each one got down the street before toppling over. My mom tried to usher me away from these "thuggish teenagers" but I wanted to see what they were up to. That's when the police showed up. Except the police had these weird vaccume things like luigi's mansion. When they got to the kids all of them scattered, but one got caught. He got sucked into the vacuum and then spewed out as clay to build a new wall. That freaked me out because the second the cops saw us they started coming after us, stating we couldn't be out past curfew (note: it was midday at the time). I ran but my mom did not, and I had to watch as she once again died. She got sucked up and also turned into clay. That made me scale one of the hardened walls and run across the tops. The cops were chasing me but because I was so high up they couldn't suck me up. I can only assume I got what I was sent there to get because I returned to the porta potty the kid accepted it

on the way to the porta potty things had changed. For one thing, it looked less like a porta potty and more like a chrome elevator with a blue glow. The area around it was also a lot more mountainus. On the way I noticed a ton of my little pony action figures scattreed about as if the mountains were a kids playground and I guess one of those was also a thing I needed to collect because I picked one up and the kid said all that was left was the fried egg.

Returning back to the biosphere I went into a massive kitchen area. Imagine the backrooms but the entire place is a professional kitchen. I just wandered around the area until I found a fridge. Data was also here and this is when I made a comment about hating being so small only to find out the baby effect had worn off and I was normal now. He could understand me and was surprised that I was the baby he'd seen wandering around. Whatever. Data told me I couldn't be caught in the kitchen because if I was I'd get in trouble. My rogue instincts kicked in and I began sneaking around the kitchen as I took out eggs from the fridge and began trying to cook them

It was at this point I realized I had no idea what a fried egg was. Don't get me wrong, I know my eggs. I fucking love eggs. It's one of the main things I eat on a daily basis. But in my experience the term is ambigious. Some people say a fried egg is just any egg not scrambled. Some say it's a sunny side up egg you flip over to cook on both sides. Some say sunny side up and fried egg are the same. I tried doing the one you cook sunny side up and flip but I'm god awful at flipping eggs and got so fucking upset that I eventually resorted to just cooking boxed eggs (pre cracked, in those milk container things) because fuck it, eggs are eggs. Dude just wanted plain eggs with salt and yolk. Who cares how it's prepared?!

Clearly the kid didn't, because I brought him what was essentially a poorly mixed plain omlette and he accepted it no problem. So I'm like cool, I get my prize now, right? Nope. I was still missing two items. One of which I can't remember but I think it was a drawing of some sort because I remember pulling out my tablet and drawing on it only to get mad some creature turned it off and corrupted my save. After that I did a doodle on some paper and that was accepted. But the last was a picture of this cartoon character. I don't remember its name but I do know that all I was given was the name and I had to figure out what it was on my own.

I'd also like to mention that at this point the difficulty of the situation ramped up significantly. All these strange elemental monsters began appearing around me running out of dark corners and messing with whatever I was doing. The entire building also became a massive non liminal labyrinth that was almost impossible to navigate. Like at one point I find a computer and try searching up this character. I found a cartoon about a shiny mew synth robot thing by the same name but when I took a picture of that to the guy it was wrong. Then I found this purple haired anime girl with leopard print clothes but that was also wrong. As I searched on the computers they kept acting all weird. Like the screen would block the website or I'd have to type in password verification. All these elementals kept following me around too which made things difficult because if they caught me I'd be captured and lose. Eventually one got me, but I managed to escape by the skin of my teeth. It dragged me into the clay area presumably to be taken to one of the police to suck me up and turn me into clay.

Deeper into the clay area than I'd ever been before and surrounded by elementals and police I just ran. I ran in a random direction trying to get away. The landscape warped and changed around me as I ran. Day became night and this nice rural neighborhood full of clay walls morphed into a labyrinth of suburban houses that all looked the exact same. It was dark, I was alone, I was confused, and everything was out to get me. I was so overwhelmed that I just screamed. Screamed into the void of suburbia as loud and as long as I could. Eventually my lungs started burning and I had to stop, but after catching my breath I did it one more time until I passed out. Keep in mind in the realm of this dream this had been going on for what felt like weeks and I was getting fed up being trapped in this confusing eldritch maze running a fools errand that could seemingly never be completed.

When I woke up it was early sunrise. It was still dark but I could see the orange glow of the sun peeking over the horizon. I was also, somehow, back in the rolling hills near the porta potty. Now knowing where I was I returned to the biosphere only to find everything had changed. Now it was just straight up a college campus. Students were walking to class and stopping by the interior food court (which had a starbucks in it for some reason). Kids were walking to class and I was starting to lose it. I didn't know where my friends were anymore. I hardly knew where I was anymore. Everything kept changing and this dumb kid in a porta potty had turned into some weird eldritch horror BBEG type dude. He was like GlaDos if GlaDos was a D&D villain and not a robot. Anyway, I was so fed up with this all that I began to attack the kids in campus trying to get answers to what this fucking cartoon character was. It seemed each knew like one fact about it, then directed me to someone else who knew more. So it turned into a manhunt as I ran around campus looking for information on this weird fucking character that probbaly didn't exist

Eventually, after attacking like 7 people and taking one vaguely hostage to ensure I wasn't being messed with, I got to the last link in the chain. This woman who looked like someone I knew in middleschool but older had a book bag with the characters picture on it. A picture of the character! Just like I was told to get!!! I ran up to her and tried to take it, but she was freaking out saying she needed these books for class. I halphazardly explained that I needed the picture for a quest when she said "just get one from the school store. I think they have a plushie as well". I demanded she take me to the school store because I'd be damned if I got lost in this place again. I also didn't want to lose her or her bag because if she disappeared I knew I'd never find this character again. Eventually we get to the school store and there's this giant squishmellow type plushie for sale. The character in question, for reference, was a purplish blue leopard that looked vaguely like mew from pokemon. I decided that a plush was WAY better than a picture and by this point the dude had accepted close enough approximations to what he wanted anyway so fuck it. I took the plushie and began making my way back

Once I had this plush I knew it was the final strech. The entire school went dark and all the elementals began tormenting me. Flashing lights, grabbing at the plush, trying to get me lost forever. I made my way through the dark school, back through endless subirbia, over the hills, through the kitchen, and on and on and on past every obstical until eventually I had reached the original biosphere. The rain had cleared up, though it was still gloomy. The room was empty aside from the single cabin room in the centre. My party was there waiting for me. And, of course, so was the kid with the broken arm. Soot was still tending to him. I walked in there and gave him the plush at which point he began crying. IDK what exactly he said but he started going off on this rant about how no one had ever cared about him enough in life to help him and how his dad sucked and made everything about himself and blah blah blah. Anyway, at the end he granted me this wand saying that woever I waved it at would become instantly compatable with me. But then his kind face twisted into an evil sneer. He then said "now, here's your true love" and released this absolute abomination of a creature. it was like a manta ray but humanoid and it looked like yveltal from pokemon almost. It began wreaking havok on the area going absolutly insane, but that wasn't all

apparently this creature was like??? Important to the kingdom or something? because the second it got out all the surrounding guards came running at me saying I'd "kidnapped her" and how they needed to get her back. I ran, the creature flew off into the sky and began wreaking havok on the city, and that's when the party and I ended up in the mage tower with Circe. Circe began talking about how the creature that'd been released was some massive trapped elemental that the kingdom had enslaved for eons. It was terrified and just wanted tobe free. For a moment I considered using my wand on Circe because I do really like her, but then I remembered that I was only with Circe while playing Cali and right now I was playing Taz. That's when it clicked. Taz in our D&D campaign has been writing to some extraplanar being the entire time. Someone she called "Smiley". Taz is a Sha'ir rogue multiclass and part of being a Sha'ir is that you're granted spells from something in the elemental planes. Like a warlock but with elementals. This had to be smiley, and I felt horrible. Smiley had granted me my familiar. She was the person I'd been writing to for years. She was terrified.

I figured if I used the wand on her I could get her to calm down enough around me for me to be able to help her. She'd made it to the centre of the biosphere which had been cleared out by the tornato she'd made. All that was left was the party
and some weird VRchat type portals leading to somewhere else. I climbed up to the second floor, hopped on her back from above, and used the wand on her. She was still in a total panic but I was able to coax her through one of the portals. After grabbing the rest of the party and getting them to go through first, of course. The dream ended with me and Smiley diving head first into this portal while all the local guards chased after us

So I had this dream that meridian was teaching a class at a local school. He had and picked a ton of students based off of... Some sort of criteria and the goal was he'd slowly weed us out one by one until there was only one left. The last remaining person would be his new apprentice.

There were several of us from varying parts of the world. I very distinctly remember Sora being there as well as this dude named Niel who looked suspiciously like Nergil.

Anyway, the class was simple enough. Normal high school level stuff, at the start. But our tasks slowly got stranger and stranger, and as time went on this bizzare point system was added in. I can't remember exactly how it worked but I remember if your score hit a certain number you divided it by four and then multiplied your original number by the sum. It was strange.

The task I remember doing was a test of strength. Meridian had a sword out for some reason and said he'd duel us one by one. But I knew something was off about it. His sword had a purple sheen to it as if it'd been enchanted.

So like, this kid Niel says he'll go first. Then it clicks. Meridian would never fight one on one in the set timeline. Something tricky was about to happen. Right as it clicked I screamed NO and ran over to Niel. I grabbed a sword off the shelf, knocked him over, and then struck Meridians sword out of his hands.

Meridian just smiled at this. He told me "good luck" and then class was dismissed. Suddenly three werewolves in wolf form appeared. They had the personality of the hyena from the first lion king movie. Anyway, their goal was to kill me. They ran at me, I ran away with my sword still in hand. My goal was to separate them and attack one by one.

As I ran Sora followed, saying I was an idiot for doing this and blah blah blah I should have let Neil face off because he volunteered. I said that by doing this I also volunteered and that it wasn't a big deal. I remember ducking and dodging attacks from the werewolves as this happened.

The end of the school day arrived and my mom came to pick me up in her car. As I was running away from the werewolves I managed to kill one of them. I got in her car and she began to drive away. As she did she also expressed her worries about this whole class and said that I really wasn't cut out for something like this. That pissed me off so I downplayed the situation while uh... Boosting myself? I mentioned that the minions attacking me were mice and that I had already killed two of them.

So for some reason all us students had Meridian on discord. Or at least me and Sora did. By the next day I had killed all the werewolves but now I was constantly on alert for anything else. Meridian is just like that. As his assistant you always have to be on guard, so of course there'd be more threats than what I saw originally. But I really wasn't strong enough, so I sent him a message.

Basically, I asked what I could do to get stronger. He totally ignored my question and reminded me about the upcoming homework assignment and if I had any questions blah blah. That confused me because Meridian isn't like that usually. He'd never just overlook something like that. So I asked him again. I got a two word response to that. "Japanese comics".

This confused me, but Sora was also in the room with me. Right as I got that text he also got one, which for some reason he read out loud. it was something to the effect of "this is another test. I'm testing the Icarus effect. Don't let her know". Which, by the way, that is NOT the name of that. The "effect" he was trying to test is ignoring and dismissing someone to see if they'll still continue on. Like, leave them in the dark and see if they'll give up or fight for more information. Idk if this has a name or not but it's sure as hell not the "Icarus effect". I think my brain was just trying to come up with something clever in my sleep.

Hearing this I laughed to myself before replying to his message. I told Meridian "oh come on, you of all people should know it's called Manga". I then turned to Sora and smiled and said basically "well, if he wants me to read manga to get stronger I'm reading beastars again. What better way to get stronger than by reading a book about animals fighting to the death?". I only said this to throw him off. Pretending I didn't hear him reading the message out loud. Sora agreed and then the time for class began, so we both started going inside. Then I woke up

This dream started out as me, Sora, Mark, and Lucas all chatting in voice chat. Mark was trying to arrange a meetup with sora and at one point a furry con was mentioned that was somehow close to all four of us. Naturally, we all decided we might as well go because why the hell not? So I dawned my Sonie head (which I don't even have yet lmao) and headed off to the airport with my mom to fly off to this con.

Actually getting there was simple, and once I was there meeting up was even more so. We were in a big stadium like place with several booths set up for shops and whatnot, but it was also like a mini mall because there were built in stores in the side of the building. I just remember when we met up we all forced my mom to put on the Aeon fursuit head and it was too small for her and we all laughed about it. After that we began to wander deeper in the con to look at the merchandise. There were a lot of protogen type LED heads available, as well as several full suits and a bunch of food and whatnot. But something odd began to happen while we were there.

I very distinctly remember Mark turned into his character Ralo, who's this little tiny avali. He was suddenly super fast and I kept lagging behind the group. At a certain point I got so far behind everyone that we were totally separate, but a message on Discord told me that everyone was going to go see a movie in the theatre hall. I told them I'd meet up with them, but first I wanted some McDonalds because I hadn't eaten all day. When I headed off there more weird things started happening. People kept turning into their characters and everyone saw this as 100% normal. To the point where a random anthro was seen the same as any other race. While at McDonalds I saw this man and his son and the both of them were rambling on and on about how they hated fish people. Of course, there were a pair of anthro fish walking past outside. I said that was rude and both of them stared at me like I had three heads.

Apparently I had turned into Sonie. Not only that, but I guess whatever was going on was like... Red alert type scenario? Immediately the dad arrested me and before I knew it I was being hauled off to some weird lab type jail cell. Think the beginning levels in Portal almost, but it was on the third story so there were windows. I had my hands cuffed together and my feet were anchored into this weird platform type machine. Whenever I tried to move the platform would teleport me to some other platform stationed somewhere else around the cell. It was alarming, and things got more terrifying when this dude with surgical gear walked in and started talking about how they had to "contain my abilities" or... something? Admittedly I can't really remember, but it sounded like your typical evil villain monologue type deal. He had what looked like a circuit board in his hands and said that it was going to be implanted in my brain so I'd never be able to use my powers again???

So they jam this chip into my head and leave me to my own devices for a bit. I know when they come back things are going to get much worse for me so I try to find a way to escape. They kept talking about me having powers but I had no idea what those were. But I did know that the platform I was anchored to allowed me to teleport to another platform. There were two right next to the window and my plan was to focus super hard at the window and try to force the teleporter to shoot me out of it. Somehow this worked and I went diagonally, but I was on the third story and my feet were still anchored to the platform. I immediately fell, the platform broke from the impact, and I began running for my life as all these alarms began going off.

For some reason I decided to try teleporting again because I knew I wouldn't be fast enough to get away on foot. This worked, but I could only go to places I could physically see. So like an enderman in Minecraft I just chain teleported further and further forward until eventually I got to this cliffside.

It's important to note that it was winter in this dream. There was about two feet of snow everywhere. When I got to the cliff it was thick piles of snow being help in place by all the plant life. Since the angle wasn't too steep I decided to start teleporting down the cliff. I fell face first into the snow and the angle of the slope caused me to slide down. The snow eventually cushioned my slide, and whenever it did I'd teleport like two feet forwards to regain my momentum. I basically belly slid down the whole mountain like a penguin until I reached a parking lot. Behind me I could hear the police talking about how no one could survive a fall like that and how their manhunt had turned into a body recovery. This was perfect because if they thought I was dead I could teleport away and no one would follow me.

So I began manically teleporting from place to place until eventually I end up back at the con centre. Everyone in the group is there, and by this point the only human left was my mom. Everyone else had turned into one of their characters. My mom said we should all go out to dinner so we were brought to this super fancy restaurant. I remember it was a several course meal and we had some weird brown noodles, bread, pink whipped cream with chocolate candies on top of it, and like this cheese fondue stuff. Not all at once, but as each course. The pink whipped cream was really good and I remember stealing it off everyone's plate because i liked it so much. After that everyone asked where I had been all day because someone at the con had been looking for me. I was very confused and asked what they were talking about but no one would explain. They all just told me where to find this person.

So after dinner I headed off to find them. In the con centre at the very top floor there was this MASSIVE matrix of stars on this big table. Like a whole ass map of the universe spread out. This lady in a white lab coat was standing in front of it alongside this SUPER old man. They both greeted me and told me to come take a look at the map.

The woman explained that all the constellations on this map were actually a chart of places I had teleported over the years. I said that was impossible because I only figured out I had this power today. She just ignored that and continued her speech

She said that the government had been tracking my activity because they believed the strange signals my teleporting emitted were dangerous. In reality it was the opposite. The signals I emitted were actually extremely useful, as they prevented cosmic entities from entering our orbit? The old dude put it in simpler terms. Basically, the energy I created by teleporting kept meteors and comits and anything else that might hit our planet from getting close enough to do so. The chart I'd been using on the map was I guess the ideal paths to take to make sure we were the most protected or something?

This whole time I keep telling these people they had the wrong person and I'd never teleported that far into space before. I'd never been to space. They said that my abilities have been dormant for a very very long time, and because of that my mind had as well. Me living this normal life was my bodies way of staying alive until my powers were reactivated. I didn't really understand their explanation, but they didn't matter. What mattered was the fact a MASSIVE WORLD DESTROYING METEOR WAA HEADED RIGHT TOWARDS US and the government thought my powers were drawing it towards earth rather than keeping it away.

The people told me I had to start using the chart they had laid out immediately, otherwise earth would be destroyed. I kept telling them that they had the wrong person and that I couldn't teleport like that. But they just wouldn't listen and they started to get aggressive so I just... Teleported out of that room and started walking home. Of course it wasn't that simple. They began to follow me, and after I was out of the con centre I passed the McDonald's where the guy and his son were. They told began to chase me and soon enough I was the most wanted person in America.

So I'm teleporting all over the fucking place trying to escape everyone. It's sheer utter chaos. The sun is begining to rise and as it is we can all see this massive meteor getting closer and closer. I knew k had to do something to stop it, so I started following the star path that had been laid out on that map, but instead of teleporting in space I just teleported around the city in the same pattern. As I did so each landmark on the map would light up like some weird video game progress tracker. Once every point was lit up the map itself shot off this massive beam of white light that obliterated the convention centre. The beam of light shot into the sky and completely destroyed the meteorite, smashing it into a billion little pieces that showered down as millions of shooting stars. Everyone was in awe, and I was so tired at that point I just went to the hotel room we were staying at and went to sleep.

The dream then cut to like an epilogue type thing. We were all back at the now repaired convention centre walking into the theatre. Everyone was back to their human form, albeit still wearing furstits, and we all had popcorn and sodas and all that. Inside the theatre was more like a school basketball court, but with a screen to project a movie on. We all sat down with our snacks and watched basically the entire dream again on screen, but this time we were all laughing and making comments on it. Kind of like the end of chicken little when the movie is so far from what actually happened it's not even the same anymore. But yeah we all laughed and ate popcorn while ripping on our own movie and it was great

Last night I had a dream I was some rest subject in a massive research facility. Apparently I only had one leg and it was like a disability research center or something like that? I don't know. All I remember is that I basically lived there 24/7 and it was like a massive mall underground.

So the first thing I remember doing is playing five nights at Freddy's. What one it was I don't know, but I remember the whole goal of this game was trying to kill a weird nightmare version of Springtrap. Also for some reason the more I played the game the more it's events would just happen in real life. At a certain point I had to stop playing the game because real people were getting hurt.

One weird aspect of this FNAF game was that it had this Chao garden aspect to it. It was like a totally different game where you explored the surrounding area and found cute little animals you could keep as pets. And like the Chao garden the point was to collect many of them and raise them and make them stronger. Every level of FNAF you beat gave you cute little outfits they could wear too. I managed to find this giraffe that was the size of a dwarf rabbit and I remember dressing it up in a pink floral onesie.

At a certain point I got sick of looking at the FNAF characters every time I wanted to play with my giraffe so I messaged a friend on discord to ask if he could help me sprite swap the FNAF characters with my own. But the message wouldn't send. No matter how many times I tried it never sent. So I tried texting someone. That didn't send either. Something was wrong here.

Putting my laptop away I decided to wander around the facility I was in. Very quickly I noticed a hierarchy between workers and patients. Like some weird prison. I also noticed the place had no exits anywhere. Rooms weren't really rooms either. There were no enclosed areas with doors. Every room had at least one missing wall. The more I looked into things the more I wanted to leave. This wasn't a prison. I knew that. I could just leave if I wanted, right?

Wrong. I managed to get a good deal down the hallway towards the only staircase up when some of the workers began chasing me. I kept running, but with a prosthetic leg I really wasn't doing very well. That's when I remembered something the workers always told me. There's always a way to play to your strengths. So, knowing the guards would catch up to me, I reached down and took the foot off my prostatic and threw it at them as hard as I possibly could. It was like a weird slow mo effect as the foot glides through the air and knocked the guard out with a hit to the head.

So I manage to get out and as I'm running I decide to jump off a nearby cliff. I knew I'd be fine, and after I jumped I began to fly through the air. I glided all the way down while thinking that this is exactly what I was meant to do. That is, until I reached the bottom. There was this big massive tree and I grabbed onto it and slid down so I wouldn't crash.

From there I spent a short time wandering the forest before I heard more people. These people looked like stereotypical hunters with camo and the orange vests and everything. I heard them talking about how this land was restricted territory and how no trespassers were allowed. I just ran away from them as they got closer and climbed up a nearby tree. Each of the three of them had machine guns and I didn't want to even risk talking to them.

So I'm up in this tree when I see the restricted area signs. A bit too late, but I figure if I just stay perfectly still they won't find me. This plan worked for several minutes, but eventually one of them did see me. So I did what any sane person would do. I climbed to the very top of the tree and in the loudest booming voice I could muster I screamed "I AM THE DRYAD WHO PROTECTS THIS FOREST, YOU DARE SHOOT AT ME?!?". This caught all of them off gaurd and they started asking me to prove it. I told them I could use my dryad magic to prove it to them. The plan was to use sleight of hand. Make it look like both of my legs were normal and then fling off the prosthetic to make it seem like I altered my body to make it disappear. Maybe it was a dumb plan, but I'll never know because this is when my cats woke me up lol

This dream was weird. I was myself in this dream and I had found these things called "Go Crystals" which apparently allowed someone to open a portal between realities at will. You specifically needed three of them to do this so for the rest of the dream I called them Go Crystals 3 and would correct anyone who said otherwise. As a companion/familiar I had this talking golden retriever who was apparently from the other dimension to begin with. He began to teach me all sorts of stuff about his world and we'd constantly pop over to walk around his home area. It was this massive lush forest that seemed to extend indefinitely. It was all fun and games until we managed to find ourselves at the entrance to the underground. It was a path in a more open part of the forest with bushes and trees planted in a more organized/decorative manner. This is where I got an inkling as to where I was and promptly told my dog we needed to leave.

We had made it to Muria, which for those who don't know is where my current D&D campaign takes place. This was the entrance to the underdark that lead to Cali's hometown and I did NOT want to be anywhere near that place. Apparently he didn't either because as I was leaving I ran into him. It was... Really weird to see Cali pre-transition. Like I've drawn him as a kid once but actually seeing him in a dress and with his hair down like that was kind of jarring. The two of us got to talking and at one point the Go Crystals came up. He said he's been wanting to find them for a long time because he wanted to get away from home. What better way to escape an abusive home than to move to an entirely different dimension? I agreed to this and as I left I took him along with me.

Of course... That's where things went wrong on my end. So we spend the rest of the day outside playing and I'm flying around while my dog chases the both of us around. When it gets to about sunset we head back to my house where MY MOM AND AKORE ARE BOTH SITTING AT THE TABLE. Apparently Akore also had Go Crystals and could sense more in the area when I brought mine over? Or something like that. Anyway, my mom greeted us and was all "Oh, you have a new friend! I want to get to know her family blah blah blah". Yes, she did call Cali a "her" which kinda pissed me off. Both me and Cali were like "ok family dinner, cool, we need to get ready first"

We duck into my room in the basement and Cali explains that the Drow have been looking for these crystals to help them expand their range. They want death to all surface people and blah blah typical evil drow bullshit. I told him she could NOT have my crystals and told him to try stealing hers while I hid mine. Then both me and my dog set off to find a hiding place.

I flew down the mountain with the crystals until I eventually landed on the roof of someone's house pretty far away. My goal was to dump the crystals on the roof and hide them with a magic glyph but my magic for whatever reason wasn't working. The roof I was on was also super unstable and it managed to collapse and drop me into these hillbilly people's backyard. They caught me due to the noie and told me that they didn't have any money and If I was here to rob them they'd call the police. I didn't want to explain the crystals so I told them I was here practicing my flying, but they both laughed because I didn't have wings and normal humans can't fly. I managed to convince them that if I could show them they couldn't call the police, so they brought me to the front of their house to prove myself.

I ran down the street, checking the direction of the wind as I did. Once everything was in order I ran back the opposite direction and began to lift into the air. They were all surprised I was actually flying and I kinda just hovered under this big tree as the neighborhood came out to watch in awe
at this point I had successfully hidden the crystals and knew I had to make my way back home before my mom and Akore got too suspicious. So I flew back home right around the time Cali had returned. He had not gotten the chance to hide the crystals he stole from Akore, but he figured if she could sense them and already knew I had three she'd just assume they were the ones I already had. We all sat at the table and had a very awkward dinner together as Akore and my mom talked to each other. They got along... Eerily well. Which is odd because I know in real life my mom would loathe someone like Akore. Once dinner was over my dog started asking how Cali would get home without the crystals and... He said that in front of everyone. Which threw Akore into a rage and the dream ended with me and Cali opening a portal to run away from her as she chased us

So in this dream I was in a similar freedom fighter group to the original sonic the hedgehog series (the one with sally) except the "freedom fighters" were my classmates in high school and the BBEG villain was one of the teachers. I can't remember the exact circumstances but I very distinctly remember that it was the end of the school year and that we had to rescue these eggs from the teacher before the last day of school got out. If we couldn't all the eggs would be killed and we'd fail our mission. I have NO idea what was in these eggs or why they were important but in the moment I didn't question it.

So after getting driven to school on the last day me and all the other freedom fighters immediately rush into the gym. Apparently because it's the last day and you don't really do any learning on the last day the faculty had set up a massive projector screen there and set up an Xbox for all the students to play on. But we weren't there to play games, we were there on a mission. In actuality the Xbox was there as a distraction while the teacher loaded up these eggs to be shipped away. So we set up several decoy students of our own who sat and played the Xbox at full volume to make it seem like we were busy and then sent the rest of us out to cut off the egg transport.

For reference, all these eggs were the size of chicken eggs. They were a flat brown and way harder than a normal chicken egg (not rock solid, but they could survive a bit more than a chicken egg would be able to handle). I took as many of these eggs as I could and shoved them into a small zip-up binder inside my backpack. I managed to get just about all of them, and the ones that didn't fit in the binder I stuffed into my socks. From there I headed back to the gym to wait out the day. If I left early everyone would know something was up

Well, the teacher very quickly discovered that the eggs were missing and he was PISSED. In an instant the ground began to tremble as the entire building lifted into the air. Apparently the gym was not actually the school gym, but some sort of hovercraft disguised as a gym (think the egg carrier in SADX. it was that size). Once in the air the Xbox projector screen shifted to my teachers face and he started talking in an evil villain monologue type way.

Long story short, he knew we'd be pulling something on the last day of school. Because it was the last day there'd be no more school attendance, so if we all went "missing" no one would notice. Flawed logic, but hey. It's a dream. He then explained that he'd be giving us one chance to return the eggs. If not, he'd subdue each of us and search our stuff himself. Well... I was not going to give myself up. I was not giving up these eggs, so he made the ship do a fucking barrel roll which banged us up and basically paralyzed us temporarily. All of us were so busy and concussed that we couldn't walk upright. I was forced to crawl on my hands and knees as I desperately searched for my backpack.

Of course, my teacher got my backpack before I did. He took it away and stashed it somewhere. Many of the eggs had smashed in this ordeal. and as I was on the ground stunned he took off the one sock I was wearing that had the last remaining egg in. This was stuffed in my backpack and all of my stuff was taken away. So, forced to walk on my hands and knees like a dog, I followed this guy up the stairs and managed to swipe back one last single egg before the bell to leave rang. He believed that he had gotten all the eggs so everyone was let go.

Slowly I managed to regain my balance and the dream ended with me successfully rescuing a single egg hidden in my sock before hopping in my dad's car to go home

Hello hello! I'm going to be away until Sunday, so I'm closing commissions until then. Anyone currently in queue will get their art on schedule, I'm just not taking any new commissions until then.

Thanks for understanding ^^

So this dream started off with me being at school. Apparently I had a Lazer pointer that rather than pointing a little dot at things cast mage hand. Like I point it, press the button to make it grab wherever the light would be, andas long as it was pointing I was golden.

My teachers very much did NOT like this. Like they kept stopping class to try and figure out who was being disruptive. I did not care and continued to fuck around with the laser pointer until lunch. Once lunchtime rolled around I began noticing something odd.

It started with a video talking about how there might be a chao garden style glitch in real life. How you can grab the little animals and chaos drives and use them basically infinitely if you hold them right. I wanted to train my skills in magic so I decided during lunch I would find some of the little animals and start training myself in these skills.

So suddenly the school turns into what's basically a level of Spyro with me running around and collecting animals and gemstones. Every time I encounter either I do exactly what you do in sonic adventure two to infinitely reuse them. I could feel my magic getting stronger as I did this. Like, actually stronger. My Lazer pointer could pull more heavy things and I could run faster and had a vague ability to fly (at this point it was just jumping really high)

I did this for a long time before noticing one of the animals had been following me. An eel looking thing that could also slither on land like a snake. Once I noticed this a ran back inside the school and returned to class until the bell rang to go home. The eel continued to follow me throughout the day.

When I get home I'm greeted by my Alzheimer's grandma who I was told to keep inside the house. My grandpa was also there and seemingly did not notice or care about her Alzheimer's. They told me they were going to church and they had a motorcycle they were going to ride there. I was like "hell no" because my grandparents had never even touched a motorcycle and my grandma is so far gone she can't even remember our names. How the hell is she going to ride a motorcycle??

So like... I spend at least an hour trying to convince them not to get on the motorcycle before finally saying "fuck it" and just letting them do what they want. I spesifically remember watching them up until the point they were both on it and once it started up I looked away to not see whatever carnage might occur. I have no idea if they made it to church or not.

As I went back inside Meridian was suddenly there sitting at the kitchen counter. He told me he was surprised I'd do something so wreckless in the set timeline. I said I didn't care anymore and next time I'd cut the breaks just to see what happens. He laughs at this and tells me there won't be a next time because, duh, unlike him I'm not in a time loop. But that got me thinking. Why was he suddenly showing himself to me NOW? Meridian doesn't show himself to anyone! Something was off here.

Eventually I decide to walk home from my grandparents house because for some reason I get the feeling mom won't pick me up. So I walk home and the rest of the day plays out as normal until I wake up the next morning. Oddly enough I am back at the school with the Lazer pointer watching that video of the Chao garden glitch again. That's when it hits me. I am in the loop with Meridian.

Naturally, I use this to my advantage. See, rather than my skills resetting like they usually do during a loop they persisted. I had all the magic I did the day before. So.... Abusing the glitch again i began training my skills in the arcane even more. And I continued to do this as the loop went on. Every repeat of the day I abused this glitch and every loop I got stronger.

But then I noticed something strange. As my power grew that eel following me also grew. Once it was big enough (size of a car almost. Or... Length? Idk) it began to attack me. I'd run away from it and it turned into a game for me. Because I was in the loop there was no real danger, right? Well, it's all fun and games until you literally get ripped in half. See, as this continued the eel not only got larger, but faster, stronger, and more aggressive. One loop ended early for me because I was quite literally ripped in half. One moment I'm fucking around tainting this thing and the next I'm waking up back at the school screaming in pain and terror.

That's when I realized this wasn't a game. I was in actual danger. So using the power of the time loop I spent the next few go around a gathering information on this eel. Apparently it was the pet/familiar of a magic bounty hunter. Their goal, naturally, is to capture people who have cast amounts of magic and steal it for themselves. They were like reverse warlocks in a way. Rather than a powerful being making a deal and granting them magic they hunted down the powerful beings and forced them to make a deal. They wanted my magic because it had been growing with each loop. Hence why the eel didn't stay the same every time. Apparently the larger the eel is the more magic it senses and it uses that to better hunt skilled mages.

Eventually the eel becomes too much for me. I keep dying and dying HURTS so I want to make it stop. So I decide one loop to let myself get captured and I'm dragged to this house full of.... Lilo and stitch type experiments? Like, the guy who ran the operators looked like Hamsterveel or however you spell his name. He game me this schpiel about how magic as powerful as mind couldn't be trusted in average hands and that I needed to give it up to keep people safe. I'm all "hell no, you've killed me 284693 times trying to get my magic, fuck you I'm not dangerous". He did not take kindly to this and said if I was not willing to give my magic to him he would take it.

So like... Until now all I had ever used has been mage hand. But this guy and his lackeys are chasing me. They are too fast for me. I need to get away so I channel all the magic I can muster and turn into Halcyon! But not just halcyon. Halcyon the first. The real great dragon. Once in that form I actually take on his personality and memories but still have enough of my own to change back at any time. I then begin flying away from these people who, unsurprisingly, give chase.

At one point as Halcyon I run into Altair who begins going on an excited nerd rant about being in the presence of a god. I remember being very short with him because at that point I was in a literal construction zone trying to fly away from magic bounty hunters. Altair talked about how dragons getting on the purity scale basically paved the way for Sinvian and I'm all "I hate sinvian, I hate Kodin, they killed my son, leave me alone" which... Is not accurate? Because halcyon the second doesn't die? Not in the comic, anyway. Reguardless, I remember flying over streets and going through a tunnel before ending back up at home and turning back to normal.

When I get home Meridian is there. Once again sitting at my kitchen counter which leads me to believe he has no sense of comfort because why the hell would he pick a hard barstool over my couch? Either way, he comments on my magic and I go off boasting about how great it is. He then hits me with "yeah it's great and all, but have you amounted to anything?" Like, having it is one thing. Using it is another. Actually putting it to good use is entirely different. I tell him I think so because I don't fucking know and he just hmms and haas and scribbles it into his journal before saying he has to get going. He leaves and eventually the day resets again and I'm back at the school

Loops continue. My magic continues to grow and the eel chasing me does as well. Every day at this point starts with me running and ends with me running. It's exhausting and even with my ability to shape shift into my characters I still only barely get away each time. Halcyon the first isy preferred form because he can fly and I remember several times literally jumping off a cliff to fly away from these bounty hunters. Also, every loop I become halcyon Altair shows up and I have to basically babysit him like an NPC escort mission in a video game. It's exhausting and I just want to find a way to stop these bounty hunters. Mainly because if they target Meridian we're all fucked. If he dies in the set timeline reality ceases to exist. Not a good thing.

During one loop while being chased I land in the enemy's basement. Meridian is there and is surprised to see me. He asks how I am and I say I'm "ready to kick ass". He then laughs and we talk for a bit before he yells upstairs to alert everyone I'm there. I'm like "dude, what the hell" and he mentions that it'll be fine. He's in a loop. This is one of many loops. I will not die because when the day resets for him I do as well. Clearly he had not caught on to the fact I was also in the loop. Not like I would expect him to. I didn't start mine the normal way.

Meridian leaves and I'm left cornered because I'm literally in a basement with like 12 big scary experiments coming to hunt me down. So I do the only thing I can think of. I turn into feral dog sonie in an attempt to squeeze past them. It... Does not work. They catch me and drag me upstairs and sit me at the kitchen counter (seriously, why not a couch? Why the counter? It's so uncomfortable). They then shove two papers and two pens my way and explain their ultimatum. Either I sign over my magic to them and live, then they switch targets to Meridian (who they called a "more powerful source" and not his name) or I sign over his and spare him, but I remain their target. Apparently the two different pens mattered so while they weren't looking I swapped them and signed the wrong contract with the wrong pen making it null and void. This PISSED THEM OFF but gave me enough time to once again turn into feral dog sonie and begin running.

I'm running. I'm a dog. These people are chasing me trying to get me to sign this contract. They apparently have a Tesla or other electric car and hop in and start chasing me down in the car. I only narrowly escape each time as I desperately try to turn into Halcyon again. For some reason it isn't working and I'm starting to panic. So I continue to run. The dream ends with me as feral dog sonie running away from these people towards another cliff while they chase me in their car. My plan was to jump off the cliff and HOPEFULLY turn into Halcyon in time to save myself while they just drove off to their deaths but uhhh... I woke up before that happened

Ok so in my dream last night I was being tormented by Bannister (Our D&D game's BBEG). Details are fuzzy and I'm hoping that writing will allow me to work out details here. I remember being at my grandparents house on my dads side. Just one of those very old run down neighborhoods where all the grass outside is patchy and yellow and it hurts to walk on. There were thick brambles and weeds and I remember at one point I stepped on them and hurt myself pretty badly. I was at this house searching for signs of Bannister because, duh, our whole goal for the past 54 sessions has been to get rid of him and this was seemingly my chance.

It's not clear who I was in this dream exactly, but I did have several powers. Like most my dreams I was able to fly, although this time in order to fly I had to shapeshift into Halcyon which was kind of strange but whatever. I also had the ability to turn invisible and like pause time temporarily? Not really sure what this was, all I know was that there were times I could move and do stuff and no one else could. Lastly I had this bag of holding, but unlike a normal bag of holding that's devoid of oxygen this one was basically its own demiplane. When I went inside of it I was in this room FULL of stuff I had collected over my adventures. It was a weird circular shaped room with branching ladders on several sides that lead to more circular shaped rooms. Think club penguin igloos almost. No sharp corners, just rounded edges galore. My bed was in a small alcove and I remember there were fairy lights and shiny purple trinkets absolutely everywhere. It looked like a room on the set of one of those old nickelodeon shows like Icarly or Victorius where it's way overly populated with random stuff.

So on to the dream itself. I was with my dad and various other random people and we were visiting my grandparents. While here I somehow caught wind of Bannister. Actually I'm pretty sure I saw him sitting on top of a local school. The school had this massive bell on the top and he was sitting on top of the bell. It was a blink and you'll miss it type deal because when I did a double take to confirm he had disappeared. But with the knowledge he was in the area I had my guard up.

Not surprisingly, when we got to my grandparents house it came out that we had all been invited to this gala/dinner party type event at a local high society type hotel. The family was all very excited about this because, hey, we don't visit often and what better way to spend time together? I was the only one cued in to what was going on. I desperetly tried to get them to stay home but to no avail. They were hellbent on going to this event so I had no choice but to play it out.

The hotel I remember being very elaborate. Red carpets and chessboard patterned linoleum. Fancy golden mirrors and decorations and whatnot. The feet of tables and chairs and pretty much anything with feet had those ornate lion's paw style feet. It was all very strange. We were taken to the dining room where circular tables draped in nice white tableclothes were scattered everywhere. The room itself was symmetrical but none of the decorations were in the slightest. My family took a seat on the bottom area of the dining hall, but there was a pseudo second floor to it. I remember as we were eating I used my time pause ability to wander around the dining area and scope things out. Everything seemed to be in order for the most part until I ran into a SUPER old friend of mine that I lost contact with years ago. For the sake of anonymity I'll call her Skittles because that was her fursona's name at the time.

I had not seen Skittles in YEARS and because I don't really have friends I can hangout with IRL I immediately dropped my ability so we could talk. It was just like old times. We talked about drawing and our characters and blah blah blah. She asked me what I was doing here and I explained that I was here looking for Bannister. She... Somehow knew who I was talking about and she told me she'd help me look. So the two of us snuck out of the dining hall and began to wander the various rooms in the hotel. Yes, including occupied ones.

Each room, occupied or not, clearly had a theme and was clearly some trap created by Bannister. I very clearly remember that one of the rooms was full of like 15 naked men in tanning beds who were super mad at us for disturbing them. One of them was Bannister's assistant (what one I can't remember) and because another one of our goals has been to kill his assistants I jumped to the offence. And by offence I mean pausing time while beating the shit out of the guy. Before he was unconscious I un-paused time and demanded to know where Bannister was. He told me he had "already visited me" and pointed to the tanning room's check in desk. On the desk was a single note left for me stating that he had taken my "little friends". No ransom, no threats, just a statement that he had taken them. The second I saw this I jumped back into the bag and I found that both my cat and big knuck were gone. Kiwi, obviously, is my goddamn idiot child so her being taken enraged me. Big Knuck is literally a god salmon so uhhh yeah Bannister having a god held hostage is a horrible idea.

With them gone I booked it out of the hotel. I ended back up at my grandparents house and was wandering around the area wondering what to do. This is where I found the tiniest kitten I have ever seen. I little, grey, shorthair tabby kitten who literally had just opened his eyes. He was PRECIOUS and I just picked him up to keep him safe because a kitten that age should not be left outside alone. Shortly afterwards an adult orange tabby ran over to me and took the small kitten. I followed her and found the momma cat had 5 kittens. A grey tabby, two orange tabby, and two calico kittens. They were all ADORABLE and the second I saw them I knew I had to have one.

By this point everyone had gotten home from the gala dinner and I walked over to my dad with a kitten in hand and begged to be able to keep it. He said no because I already have a cat and that's when I remembered that Kiwi had been kidnapped. I immedeatly ignored what he had just told me and shoved the kitten and the rest of the little cat family into my bag of holding and made sure they had a safe nesting spot in one of my rooms. Then I turned into Halcyon and took flight to go search for my lost little friends

Once again I found Bannister sitting on top of the school. I flew up to him and demanded to know where my friends were. Bannister seemed... Oddly somber. Like usually he has crackhead old man energy and is always doing something insane. Here he was sitting atop the school bell tower and just staring sadly into the sunset. He then began to talk, not even looking at me or acknowledging my presence. He may as well have been talking to himself, which in all likelihood was actually the case.

He began his rant by asking what the point of all this was. He has been alive for so long, doing the same thing for thousands of years without an end in sight. Seasons come and go, apprentices rise and fall, his projects get dreamed up, started, and completed. But what's the point of any of it? As he spoke time seemed to get faster. As he talked about the seasons coming and going time was fast enough to cycle through all four seasons, although it notably remained twilight as he spoke regardless of season. He explained that his accomplishments and goals meant nothing because they were infinite.

A mortal had have their "life's work" and be proud of it because there is such little time for them to actually achieve it. Things like family and friends all matter because you have such limited time with them. He did not have the luxury of a finite lifespan. He existed, he will continue to exist. People will come and go. Technology will improve indefinitely. Eventually anything he achieved will become obsolete and be forgotten as the world ticks forwards. He was sick of it. At this point the season returned to spring and the time of day shot back to sunset, as if time had never moved forwards at all. Here he FINALLY looked at me and told me that my little friends were "inside the bell" and that I had to ring the bell to free them. Then he vanished without a trace, leaving me behind with my cat and my floating god fish.

The second both of them were back I hopped inside my bag of holding to get them all situated. There I found Skittles, who was sitting on my bed with the momma cat and her kittens. She told me that she needed to make sure they were all safe and sound before she left. I asked what she meant by this and where she was going. She said she was off to join a new apprenticeship and seemed pretty somber about it. I knew it was Bannister. There was no other way she would have known about him before I showed up. I tried to convince her not to do it but she said she had no choice. She just wanted to try helping me beat him before she was forced away, and I had failed. Because you can't beat Bannister. Even if he wants to be beaten, he can't. He will always be. He is one of very few constants in this world, and there is nothing we can do to change that.

Before she left Skittles gave me an awkward friend hug and told me to take good care of my little friends. Hold them close. Animals like these don't live as long as people do. Your time with them is short, so cherish every moment of it. With that, she exited the bag of holding and disappeared. I was left inside, alone, with 7 cats and a floating god fish wondering how the hell I was ever going to defeat Bannister.

So in this dream I was Chat Noir/Adrian from Miraculous Ladybug. True to the show, most of my days were spent just hanging out in the house doing nothing of much interest. Just following my dad's strict routine while he ominously did evil supervillain stuff in the background. It was not a fun existence and after several days of this and going to school and being sad and miserable I was fed up with it.

So this is where things get a bit weird. Or rather, this is where things deviate from the show. I was bored so, naturally, I decided I would transform into chat noir and go roam the city. Only I wasn't exactly chat noir. If you know the show, imagine the black cat suit but it's a wolf and it has massive black shaggy feathered wings. And the hair was black rather than blonde. Once I'd transformed I suddenly realised I had no idea how to get out of the house. It wasn't the house in the show, it was this massive like 3 layered mansion made mostly of stained glass. By three layered, I mean it was a house INSIDE of another house inside yet ANOTHER house. There were also four stories, with the fourth floor being a roof/attic style place.

To get outside I snuck down the hallway and into what I believe was the hallway near the kitchen. That was the only window that was still open/unlocked in the house. I burst through the window screen and flew out onto an outer deck (still "inside"). When I noticed I was still inside I flew upwards until I was at the second floor. The second floor was much more difficult to navigate because the entire floor was made of glass, meaning anyone looking upwards could see me easily. Not only that, but it was LOOSE glass meaning it clattered with each step I took as the glass shifted around. Luckily I was able to fly upwards even more and eventually ended up in the attic

The attic was... Interesting... Very interesting. It was set up like a sauna with a hot tub running through the middle of it. Around the hot tub were wooden benches to sit on and enjoy the steam or whatever. The weird part was the fact there were like 6 women in VERY revealing bathing suits, all of whom had white feathery wings. They saw me and I asked what the hell was going on in here because as far as I was aware this was MY house and I didn't know we had a spa. They all sounded like early 2000's teen movie dumb blonde type girls. like, umm, hah, they all, like, talked like this, and like, everything they said had umm... a weird pause between it. Yeah they were infuriating to deal with. After a very round about conversation it turned out the spa up in the attic was some sort of like... Godly spa? Anyone who bathed in it gained angel wings and I guess some other sorts of powers I was never aware of. It was like a high end rich person fantasy spa and when I asked how to get out they thought I wanted to show off my own wings.

I kept insisting that I wasn't showing off my wings and that I really was trying to get out of the building, but all the dumb blondes kept gushing over how pretty my wings were and blah blah blah. Eventually one of the girls boyfriends, the only other boy in the spa who was a total emo type, told me the ceiling pushed open and that I could fly out through there. I thanked him, flew out the ceiling, and began making my way out into the city.

So the city was very strange. And by strange I mean minecraft world generation strange. The world wasn't blocky, but there was that same effect of when you go too far too fast the chunks have to load in. After a VERY long time I managed to meet up with the other miraculous owners which FINALLY MADE EVERYTHING CLICK IN MY MIND

as it turns out, I was not chat noir. Well, I was and I wasn't. I was Thunder, hence the black dog/wolf costume I was wearing the entire time. When I met up with "ladybug" it was Sonie, but not normal Sonie. For some reason she had top surgery scars and a huge massive chest scar starting at her hip and going diagonally up and across her torso until it reached her opposite shoulder. Both of us had wings and both of us were still dressed in the Miraculous style costumes. Like, it was human versions of my characters and the costumes we wore were miraculous style costumes if that makes sense. I still called her Ladybug and she still called me chat noir, but very obviously we weren't.

The two of us had fun wandering around the city. Flying at mach 10 speeds through an ever loading world was very fun and, like in minecraft, we straight up managed to find like temples and dungeons and nether portals. We straight up went to the nether and fought some sort of BBEG style boss there. I can't really remember what it was exactly, I just remember it was immune to lava and it had a human spinal cord which I grabbed ahold of and whipped around like a lasso lmao.

As I was doing this the dream cut to Gabriel and Natalie, who were both talking about where I was. Naturally, Gabriel was PISSED and transformed into hawkmoth to send something out to go and find me. The only problem was there was no one in the nearby area with negitive enough emotions to akumatize. So instead Natalie transformed into Mayura and flew out to go find me herself.

The dream starts getting a bit disjointed from here. Suddenly I am Mayura flying from place to place looking for Adrian. I decide to go and visit the school because, naturally, Adrian is a child and that's where children go. But the school was a university sized area and, on top of that, it was populated entirely with anthro animals. In order to blend in I turned myself into this weird rabbit thing and everyone thought rabbit = child and they all treated me like I was in kindergarten. I managed to get in to one of the offices, the office of a massive deer dressed in very nice clothing, and I was told essentially Adrian was not here and had not been here in a very long time. Great. Back to phase one.

I returned to the mansion to try and figure out what to do next. When I got there and got into my own office in there I found this weird blue ribbon tag underneath my couch. It was something I'd never seen before so I grabbed it and pulled it. It was a short blue ribbon with a little key tied to the end of it. The ribbon had "Use this when you're feeling blue" written on it. I had no idea WTF this was so I used it, and suddenly this massive steampunk oxygen mask descended from the ceiling. I strapped it to my face and this rainbow gas started pumping though it. It was weird, and while it didn't SEEM to affect me in any way apparently it was some sort of super power up. With this new power up in hand I was able to transform into some type of flying squirrel suit (like the skydiving ones, not a fursuit) and could fly WAY faster than I could using just my wings. Fast enough to the point my costume had goggles and I was totally unable to fly until I put the goggles on.

Going back to Adrian/Thunder. After using that power up I was suddenly him again. Ladybug/Sonie told me that we'd done everything worth doing by beating the creature in the nether and it was time we both went home. I tried to persuade her to stay and hangout more, but she INSISTED I return home. I really didn't want to, but I did. I snuck back in the same way I snuck out, even talking to the spa girls as I returned. I landed in the kitchen area, de-transformed, and at this point it was late at night so I rummaged around the kitchen for a snack

Doing this apparently made a lot of noise. Hawkmoth came barreling into the room thinking I was Mayura and was yelling at me for not taking my task seriously. We made eye contact, and immediately Gabriel de-transformed and started going off about how he had been commissioned to design a hawkmoth costume for some event and "didn't it look real? I got you, didn't I?". With the meta knowledge of someone who'd watched the show and was just in a dream I connected the dots and knew that Gabriel was hawkmoth. He was still pissed at me for running away and I made a halfhearted excuse before shuffling my way back into my room.

Once in my room I transformed back into Chat Noir and began to panic. 100% panic. My dad was hawkmoth!!! What the hell am I supposed to do?! I could NOT stay at the house, so I started drawing out my escape plans. I drew Sonie in her civilian form (So, Marinette I guess?) and with the outfit I drew her in it showed like a vague side boob that conveniently showed her VERY IDENTIFYING scars. I also drew hawkmoth as a massive werewolf with demon wings on its back. Both of these images I for some reason left on the kitchen counter before wandering around the house further in search of answers.

During my search I found the rainbow gas stuff and, naturally, decided it'd be a GREAT idea to huff the stuff. I went through the same exact transformation with the new flying squirrel suit and immediately pulled out my communicator to tell Ladybug/Sonie about it. Shortly after she showed up and got her new upgrade, and at this point hawkmoth showed up again. We both booked it, and I told Sonie how to get out of the house. We both did so, flew out the ceiling of the spa, and while hawkmoth was chasing us he found my drawings. He made the connection to both of our civilian forms and at this point Mayura was the only one who's identity was still a secret.

This is where the chase began. Its also where the dream starts getting fuzzy. I remember we went through several minecraft biomes and even managed to find a jungle temple which we totally ignored. We got to this very sandy desert where the sand kept scratching at our eyes and forcing us to re-adjust our goggles. Eventually we ended up in my old neighborhood where I found an old childhood friend and that same emo dude I met at the beginning of the dream. Apparently that dude was my cousin Felix/thunder's younger brother Raider. Yeah this whole duel identity thing is getting confusing. Regardless, apparently Felix knew who/what I was this entire time and had been hanging out at the spa laying in wait until I eventually decided to make myself known. He said that HE deserved to wield the miraculous and HE deserved the wish you get when you merge ladybug and chat noir's miraculous and that he was GOING TO STRAIGHT UP KILL US FOR THEM.

Yeah. Kill us. The last part of the dream that I remember was Felix and my old friend locking me and Sonie/Ladybug in the basement of this house. He then brought a butchers knife down and we got into an actual no super power knife fight. I was stabbed in the chest and the stomach and Sonie was stabbed in the chest and had her throat slashed at, but not enough to kill her. At some point I knocked the knife out of his hands and me and Sonie killed the both of them in defense. The dream got super dark super quick, but just as quickly it got happy/random again. We were both hurt badly, so we ran outside and knocked on the first door we found. My neighbor answered the door and let us inside and said we could help her kids make homemade candy while we waited for the police to show up. The last part of the dream was me helping like 7 young children stir a pot of molten sugar which eventually made marshmallows that we shaped into fun shapes. I think mine was a hot dog in a bun and everyone found it entertaining.

Forgot to post this yesterday, oops :/

I don't know who I was in this dream, all I know is that I had wings and they were very prominent throughout the entire dream. So it started with me being called to investigate something in a nearby forest. What this "thing" was I have no idea. All I know is that it was deep in the forest down this abrupt cliffside and over the fence of a local power plant. The fence had barbed wire over the top of it and I think that's why I was called to investigate, because I could just fly over it while everyone else would have to jump the fence. The forest itself was interesting. Reminds me of the mushroom forest picture I drew awhile ago. Purple mosses and mushrooms scattered around and thick weeping willow type trees.

I managed to get all the way down the mountain and to the first fence of the power plant when I was stopped by these total stereotypical tree hugger hippies. They did NOT want me going any further and told me doing so would disrupt the balance of nature or something along those lines. I don't like conflict so I told them I'd leave and I went back to the track field at my old highschool because apparently that was mission central. I told my boss or co worker or partner in crime or whoever I was working with that I couldn't get further inside and immediately she was like "did you run into the hippies?"

So we discussed things and this is where the plan became a bit clearer. Apparently inside the inner fence of the power plant were these purple flowers. They had a strange magical energy to them and the people inside were abusing them. The plan was to break in, pick as many of the flowers as we could, bring them outside, and burn them in a pit we'd dug near the river. I was told the hippies were harmless and to just avoid them, so my next few attempts to get into the power plant did exactly that. Fly over the fence, avoid any people, gather as many flowers as possible, fly back out and put the gathered flowers into the burn pit. Everything was going great, until we ran into the power plants keeper.

So this power plant did not look like your average power plant. Imagine a midevel castle with power lines strung up around the perimeter and generators on each of the guard towers. At one point someone spotted me and immediately a million guards sprang into action and tried swarming me. Two of them were stationed at every generator behind these big bright yellow wooden cube things and all of them were taking shots at me as I flew. At one point I managed to fling one of them off their post and at that point it turned into a shootout with me using an enchanted crossbow and them using normal ones.

I took down a fair amount of the guards, but then the real threat came out to play. A massive, ethereal, ghostly blue serpent type creature. It looked like a sea dragon of some sort with a long windy body and no arms or legs. The serpent was see through and it looked like only the "outline" of it was visible. Like the outline of the creature glowed bright blue which gave shape to the rest of it's body. This thing was PISSED and immediately summoned a massive tidal wave to flood me out of my position
So it's now raining, water is rapidly rising, and I'm alone in a power plant with a massive death dragon. Naturally I bailed, but not before seeing the hippies once again. They were standing on a small raised ledge with some of the purple flowers on it watching the water flow by. I would have just ignored them, but one of them looked different. She now had white hair with a blue tinge, a flowing blue two piece dress, and a pair of massive white wings on her back. She looked somewhat sad, and as I was fleeing I heard them talking about how the balance had been disrupted and the natural order was crumbling. I gathered she was the one in the power plant using the magic of these flowers, and she likely was the one to summon the dragon. Idk, she just looked like a god and with everything going on I felt as if the person I was working for had lied to me.

Yes, once again I have successfully made my way around the sun. It's my birthday today :D
Maybe I'll draw something for it later. Or not. Who knows lmao

I was Cali in this dream, and for some reason Circe and I were In school together. Weather we were students or not I couldn't say, but the entire dream revolved around this school.

Anyway, I think it was the first day and we all were getting shown around campus except the campus was less of a single building and more of an entire small town. It was like half beach half heavy wooded forest area. A lot of the beach side areas were a big open plaza with tons of shops and stuff. That's where I encountered my first trial.

So like, Cali is trans. And for some reason we were forced to pal around with these tough jock type guys and I really wanted to I guess prove myself to them? Like they kept commenting on how thin and weak and small I was and Circe kept telling me it was okay and not to let it get to me. But I was determined.

So we're walking through this city on a tour when I encounter some older woman with a child. She desperately needed to get this child home to it's parents (I'm assuming she was a grandparent by her age) but they were in the upper part of town and she couldn't get there being all old and infirm. By upper part of town I do mean upper. Like, half the town was on a small cliff that abruptly jetted upwards and there was no way up except to climb. So I took the child and told her I'd handle it and then like in sonic adventure two I grabbed onto a pole and started spinning until I had enough momentum to leap off and jet upwards. I got the kid back, Circe was happy I cared enough to help, and all the jock type guys were like begrudgingly impressed. Also it doesn't really matter but I do want to mention the fact one of the jocks was a lizardfolk. Big ol gree scaley boy

The next trial was a trial of strength. Once at the school we found these people trying to move some heavy tarps and fabrics. The jocks were just upset because these tarps had been set up on the track and they wanted to use the track and an argument broke out. I hate arguing so I started to pick up all the fabrics and tarps and sling them under my arms. You know when you're trying to take all the groceries in in one load or trying to take a massive wad of laundry to the washer? It was like that. Like the tarps were under my arms and I had to constantly put them down and reshape them to be more manageable, and I had to use my legs/hips to like push the fabric back up if it was falling down. It was a whole thing and I looked ridiculous but I was the only one willing to do this. Once again Circe was happy I cared enough to help

So I took the fabric inside the school and I did this alone. While inside I ran into who I assumed to be the P.E. coach who saw me finish carrying the heavy tarps and asked if I could help him carry some stuff outside. I asked what and he told me it was just some towels for today's class. APPARENTLY the tarp wasn't just a tarp, it was a pool cover. The pool was inside the track loop a fair way and I just hadn't noticed. Today's lesson was going to be swimming, and GUESS WHAT Cali doesn't like taking his shirt off in front of people. Not only does he have surgery scars, but he also has gnarly battle scars that uhh... Tend to freak people out. Like, the poor trans boy is still self conscious about taking his shirt off. And now I'm freaking out because I'm Cali in the dream and I do NOT want to get changed or go swimming in front of these jocks. But I help carry the towels anyway because I'm nice and I can't really say no to someone above me.

When I get back to the track all the guys have their swimsuits on. Circe does as well, and the first thing she did was run over to me and show it off. It was this like sparkly red one piece suit with a VERY low back and like the elaborate woven straps that are impossible to deal with after you take it off. It was super cute on her and she was asking how she looked and, obviously, I told her she looked good. But then I started to panic saying I didn't want to swim in front of these guys and I didn't want to get changed and blah blah blah. I think the last trial was a test of will or something, I don't know. But Circe kept telling me it was ok and if I really wanted to prove myself to these guys I should just show off my scars. They're dumb jocks, they wont be able to tell they're from top surgery. They'll just see scars and go "dude, sick! Battle scars!!!". I was not convinced, and the dream ended with me and her sitting on the grass near the track talking about what to do next

Hello all! To make commissions easier I've written up a simple form to fill out ^^

In this dream I was Cali, but not really. Like I was him in the sense of I was dealing with Allura and taking on requests from her but I was also myself but I was also??? Honestly I don't know who I was in this dream, it kept flip flopping. All I know is the dream started off with me moving back to my mom's house.

I don't know why I was moving back but I was in my room in the basement unpacking everything. As I was I kept feeling this intense wave of dread. The same feeling of dread I'd feel before I got anxiety meds when the paranoia would kick in. Just intense and overwhelming. I felt like I was going to be killed by my mom's boyfriend, so I ran upstairs and told her this.

In doing so we ended up calling 911 and the both of us got sent to this hotel room to stay until either he moved out or we found a new place to live. I guess I was right in thinking I'd be killed by this dude. Anyway, the hotel is fancy as hell. Like, tall white marble pillars and gold accents and literal servants running around offering to do our bidding. The only downside was that my cat wasn't allowed inside which made me worry about her.

So while I'm in this place I get called in to talk with queen Allura. Apparently this hotel room was inside the castle? Anyway, she's telling me about how people have been getting granted cryptic glimpses into the future and she was recently granted one that involved me and the sword I had just enchanted in our D&D game. The one with the soul inside of it. Basically, in order to put a stop to Bannister we had to go to this one city really goddamn far away and?? Do something???? I actually don't think we were told what to do at this city, just that I needed to go there.

I set off on this journey and I'm riding on a public bus just off into god knows where. We're out in the middle of this desert full of sagebrush and rocks when the bus driver is hit with a vision. He sees that in two hours the bus is going to end up crashing and he's going to die. Me and the sword start talking to him trying to calm him down but we can't. Everyone in the bus is going to die.
We manage to calm him down to the point he stops the bus and at this point me and the sword opt to walk the rest of the way on foot. It's a very long walk and as we aimlessly walk through the desert the two of us get to talking. Not about anything important or life changing though. The conversation we had was the same kind of mundane chatter two old friends would have. Just laughing and talking and having a great time. Real bonding moment.

At a certain point the sword suggests that I make us a faster way to travel because I'm an artificer and walking is taking too long. With scrap metal I found in the literal desert and with the tools I could conjure as an artificer I ended up making this sapient bicycle. Yes, this thing was able to talk too. But it's important to note that when the sword and bike talked to me it was like a psychic thing. Like I had to physically be touching them to have this connection and be able to hear them.

With our new bike friend at our side the three of us continued on to the city. Through the rain and past the desert until we reached a well forested area with MASSIVE pine trees. I'm on a bike. This whole time I have been riding a bike. I am exhausted. As we ride last the trees I express the want to take a break and both the sword and bike tell me that if I stop now I'm going to anger the local druids. Apparently the fact I had these magic talking metal artificer inventions went against nature or something. But I told them I literally couldn't continue because I was too tired from hours of bike riding so we stopped.

I leaned the bike up against a tree and opened the kickstand to keep it propped upright. At this point I feel it's important to mention that I had not been carrying the sword in my hands while riding the bike. It was rigged to be stuck in the frame of the bike for safekeeping. I could still touch it from how it was rigged, but when I propped the bike up both the bike and sword were together.

I was making mundane conversation to the both of my new friends when suddenly a new voice answered me from above. Cue the most terrifying thing someone like myself could possibly see coming out of the tree above me. You know how squirrels climb trees? How their entire body hugs the thing and they just shimmy around it? Imagine a fully grown overly buff Chad looking white dude in nothing but his tighty whities climbing this goddamn tree like a squirrel. I'm talking buff male model pretty boy white dude. The literal god of chads. I was instantly out off by him and his pearly white undies as he shimmied down the tree to look me over.

I did not address this man. Instead I asked the bike and sword if this was one of the local druids they'd been talking about. The man just stared at me wide eyed as I talked to the living bike and sword, and in a flash he had hopped out of the tree, grabbed the both of them, and started booking it down the road away from me. Not wanting to be robbed I gave chase, calling out to my two mechanical friends as I did.
Now, this is where I question if I was actually Cali or not. I start yelling threats out to this druid. Telling him if I had my canon he was dead and blah blah blah. At a certain point I go "If you don't stop now I'm going to summon a dragon to unleash it's wrath upon you" and then I remember that I can polymorph. So I... Turn into a dragon. A yellow dragon. And then I take flight into the air and start chasing this druid down for my talking bike and sword.

We end up in some large city and get into a fight in the middle of city center. I'm a dragon breathing fire at this guy and he's hurling spells at me that all seem to be space themed for some reason. Maybe the astral plane? No idea. All I knew was he hit and hit hard and at some point I noticed I was at five HP so I flew back to the city borders, turned back into my humanoid shape, and ran back into the city to look for this man on foot.

Well, I found him. And he started talking about how if I wanted to fight with dragons he'd give me a fight with dragons. He then used his magic to banish me, my sword, and my bike to the outer planes. The outer planes looked like an area of infinite sand with these black crystal spirea jetting out and a black sky as far as the eye could see. So... The end from Minecraft. Quite literally. There was even a massive black dragon flying around that immediately tried to kill me.

I was ducking and dodging and overall fighting for my life when I realized that this dragon was flying underneath the island making up the end. Not only that, but there was a layer of bedrock like RIGHT THERE meaning we were floating less than 20 feet off the ground. I knew what I had to do. sword knew what I had to do. Sword was hyped as all hell because I was going to get to use him in combat. When the dragon flew under the island again I leaned off of it myself and stabbed my sword into it's tail pinning it to the ground. I then proceeded to literally fillet the dragons tail into sushi. Just the tail, but that seemed to be enough. Banishment as a spell is only temporary so soon enough I popped back in front of this druid with a whole heap of dragon meat in my arms. I briefly menrion talking to this guy about dragon sashimi and the sword yelling at me for being a dumbass before waking up

so in this dream we were playing D&D, but I myself was the character. Like I could hear Sora doing his usual voice over/narration but it was like a voice of god coming from above and we all acknowledged it in character. We were in the same world as our current campaign with Charlie and Cali but it was a totally different story. I was this little goblin and our party consisted of a white haired elven man, I think a human woman, and some very tall person. Ork maybe? I couldn't tell. Anyway the dream started with all of us in this meeting room with Allura where she was giving us the run down on what was going on.

So what the deal was I don't exactly know. My character was a rogue and by god did I play out the rogue stereotype. What I gathered was we were being sent on a rescue mission and we were chosen because this faction of people were known for using antimagic auras and none of us were magic users. But the entire time this was being explained I kept trying to get Sora to let me make some sleight of hand rolls to swipe stuff. Once we were done talking I rolled stealth to stay behind in the room while the rest of the party left so I could steal even more. I rolled... Horribly. As in I got a -2. Allura saw me stealing, but a very lucky roll on my part got her to think I simply took genuine interest in the item I was trying to steal (a ring I think?) and she just let me keep it.

Our adventure took us to this big massive honking city with railways and trolley cars absolutely everywhere. Like there were so many trains it was 6 lane traffic of JUST TRAINS. The party was upset with me because I tried to steal from the queen so as a punishment they sent me to go and find the address where our rescue was being held. The plan was I find the place while they came up with a way to spring this person out. But hah, fuck that. If you three are sending me in solo I'm doing the mission solo. Besides, it's not like our party was full of strategists. I'm pretty sure we had a barbarian, fighter, and??? I think a second fighter? Or a fighter/monk.

So finding this place was actually very easy. You see, while the roads with the trains were absolute utter chaos the sidewalks were all in a huge grid. I literally just had to walk straight for like half an hour and boom. Right where I needed to be. As I'm walking down the street I swiped someone's ID card and a pack of gum and used the silver foil from the gum wrapper to cover the face of the person on the ID. How or why this worked I have no idea, it's dream logic don't question it. But with the ID covered I now had an actual ID I could give to these people once inside.

The inside of this building was like a massive veterinarian office. There was a reception desk with a lady at it and the entire place smelled like animals. I gave her my ID and told her I was here for an appointment, the entire time chewing on the gum I stole earlier. Of course, because this ID and name was just some random dude off the street I did not actually have an appointment in their records. But I persisted. I kept telling them I had an appointment and I was here to pick up my pet and how dare they keep me waiting I have places to be. I was hoping they'd just let me in the back where the animal cages are so I could grab my "pet" (aka the dude we were rescuing) but instead the receptionist called security on me. In a flash I blew the biggest bubble of gum I possibly could and managed to trap both the receptionist and the security guard in a sticky gum prison lmao.

So I run in to the back and for SOME reason the guy we were sent to rescue had been turned into a rabbit. Like, a little tiny orange/brown rabbit. It was adorable, but the problem was I was a goblin and a rabbit to a goblin is like the size of a dog to a normal person. But I picked him up and began running for my goddamn life out of the building. While making my escape I somehow managed to get injured. How this happened I don't remember, but I do remember once I got back to the party I had to get the pointer fingers on both hands completely amputated.

We return to Allura and the whole party and her are just sitting on the ground outside watching this rabbit hop around trying to figure out what the hell we're supposed to do with it now. The antimagic of the enemy faction was still in effect so we couldn't turn the guy back into whatever race he was before so we were just... Stuck with a rabbit. The elf in the party kept asking if the thing was litterbox trained because he REALLY didn't want to clean up rabbit poop from around the keep. I kept trying to count my fingers and for some reason phantom limb kept making me count 10 when I only had 8. The only way I could get myself to count 8 fingers instead was if I used a finger to point to each finger while counting it. The fact I only had 8 was very distressing, but not for the reason you might think. I could still write and draw just fine. No, I was upset because with 4 fingers on each hand I no longer had a middle finger, meaning I could no longer flip people off. Gotta love sassy dream goblin me XD

A dream about D&D! For context to anyone who might want it


Ok so in this dream I was Cali. We had just returned from the cavern after god knows how long we were in there and Charlie and I had split up to do things around Emon. I assume, anyway. I didn't see Charlie or Nergil the entire dream so I can only assume they were making noise complaints in their room at the keep. I wanted to stop by and visit Circe, obviously, so I walked over to the mage tower to go say hi. But when I got there the guards in front of the place wouldn't let me in and said the whole place was under investigation. I assumed there was another accident with her magic but they then explained that she'd been missing for several days and no one has any idea what happened. I. Fucking. Snapped. I demanded they let me inside and when they wouldn't I tried to run past them. To no avail, of course, because Cali is not strong in the slightest and can't body past royal guards.

My yelling and cursing apparently caught the attention of Allura because she walked out as the guards were trying to wrangle me and told them to stop and for me to come with her. IDK where we went but she took me inside the castle and I was sat in a large room with a big table and archways and blah blah. Allura explained that Circe had gone off to meet up with someone several days back and neither she or the person she was going to see had responded since. Allura couldn't make contact with either and it'd been total radio silence. I was shaking with emotion and I think was in shock because I kept muttering how this wasn't happening and wasn't real and that I didn't understand. Literally the "how can she be gone, I just talked to her" type deal. Allura continued to explain saying the mage tower had a strange aura but there was nothing in it aside from a letter addressed to me. She said it was likely from Circe and that it was finished and sealed so I could open it now if I wanted. I did and the letter was totally blank aside from a single word.

"Check"

At that point I was seeing red. I was shaking with anger and I screamed and yelled at Bannister as if he was in the room with us. I tore him a new asshole in this angry rant and when I was done I punched the wall with the force of a god before breaking down crying. Allura was confused as hell so once I'd calmed down a bit I told her I knew what happened and I knew who took Circe. She suggested that we use some of her belongings and the letters we've gotten from Bannister to track the two of them so we did and suddenly the dream cut to somewhere else

I was in this large open church like room with a long hallway with stripes and triangles painted on it (it looked like a bowling alley >_>). There were massive archways above me and the room lead up to this sloped staircase where Bannister was standing. He opened his arms wide and began giving a BBEG monologue speech and I fucking was not having it and immediately shot him 74928374 times while screaming I was done with his bullshit and that he fucked up and I was not here to play his game I was here to get Circe. Me and Hans attacks did nothing and when the smoke cleared he was all "fine, if that's how you want to play". Then the rest of the church looked like your average bowling/arcade/pizza place and tried to force me into a bowling match to win Circe back. I fucking kicked his ass because the rules of bowling never state that you have to use a bowling ball so I just used my canon to blast all the pins down. I got a perfect game and because my pins shot fucking everywhere some landed on his lane and the bowling alley counted those as pins not knocked over so he lost by like 6 pins or something.
After that I blasted him again, several times, only this time my attacks seemed to work. Very well, actually, to the point he cast a spell to conjure a wall between us. I used shatter to break this wall before going right back to beating the shit out of him. At this point he was all "Fine, if you want Circe you go looking for her. Good luck" and he poofed somewhere else. I was then in a literal MC Esher painting with the weird stairways and absurdist building layout but I had magic and I could use that to track Circe so navigating the place was easy.

This is where I'm fucking devastated. So I find her in this dark room in a cage with all these TV screens all around us and there's blood goddamn everywhere. She's not conscious so I try picking the lock, fail, get mad, and blast the lock off the cage and slam it open. I managed to wake her up but she was clearly disoriented and confused. I told her Cali was here and that I was going to get her back home and tried to get her up so we could run but she kept saying she couldn't. I assumed it was due to blood loss so I picked her up like a child and just started running as fast as I could out of there. Bannister began attacking again at this point as I ran down the bowling alley to freedom so I just fucking blasted with reckless abandon until we got out. We got out, ran down a very long tunnel, and then I pulled a scroll of teleport from my bag and used it outside. Can only assume something about Bannisters house prevented me from using it sooner otherwise I would have.

Anyway, we ended up teleporting back to Scabbard Keep and at that point we were both soaked in blood and Circe was unconscious once again. Clearly she'd been hurt so I looked her over to see where the injury was so I could fix it and she had a fucking hole in her spine right above the tailbone. There were cuts and shit all up her spine at very specific points. I healed her as best I could and just sat there with her head in my lap petting her hair until she woke up again. I think I also checked her pulse at one point. When she woke up she asked where she was and told me she couldn't feel her legs and I just kept saying she was fine and that she'd be fine and that I was there and nothing else was going to happen to her. After that she asked if we could go back to the castle so she could report to Allura and I said yes but only after we got cleaned up because our clothes were literally dripping with blood.

I ran upstairs and got Troy to give me a bucket of water and a bunch of rags and then I got a set of extra clothes from my drawers and told Circe to clean herself up the best she could and get changed. I left her alone in my room to do this while I got cleaned up in another room. Once we were both clean and dressed I packed the bloodied clothes in a bag to clean later then picked her back up and began making my way off towards Allura. We did not get there before I woke up and during the walk there she was still talking about how she couldn't feel her legs and fuck I felt so fucking bad :(

So this journal is a bit uorthodox for me. Something people who know me would tell you is that I have VERY vivid and detailed dreams and I've been keeping a dream journal since 7th grade. It's fun to note them down in whatever level of detail I can remember and re-reading old ones is super entertaining. Anyway, I've been wanting to post these for awhile now but I've never gotten around to it. Until now :D

I don't expect anyone to read these, but if you find this and want a glimpse into my mind, well, here ya go. Feel free to ignore it, read it, comment, whatever. I'm just doing this for fun

ok so last night I had a dream about Hans 2.0 and it actually kinda made me cry. To make it clear, I'm not sure if I was Cali in this dream or myself. It could have been both at some places. All I know is that I was living or staying at my aunt's house for a few days with basically everyone in mom's side of the family. Her house was pretty much the same layout as it is IRL aside from her basement where each of the kid's rooms had a hallway leading to it rather than being flush with the wall and her house was in the roundabout I walk by on my walk at dad's house so... Not remotely in the right place. Regardless

We were there for a family reunion and for the mot part the first 1/4 of my dream was the same as back in the summer when grandma broke her back. Everyone was making sure the senile old person didn't get herself killed on accident and everyone was catching up and having a nice time. I decided that I needed to go out on a walk despite it being 20:00 and snowing so I put on my warm pants and jacket and went out. While out on my walk I found Hans 2.0.

So the mechanics had been either damaged or were too cold to function properly but I found him stumbling around in the snow with nothing on. The mind flayer body already looks pale and pathetic with all the scars I drew it with but seeing it in real life like that fucking shattered me. He was so cold and while he was a good head taller than me I was able to lift him up like a baby with ease. He seemed scared of me and asked who I was and I let him know I was a friend and that I was there to help.

Well, in typical D&D fashion I knew that I couldn't bring him inside the house because everyone would freak the fuck out, but he's like 6 foot 7 and 98lbs with no clothes in the fucking snow. I couldn't just leave him outside. Also quick note: when I say "Hans 2.0" I do mean the mind flayer with Hans and the mechanics attached. It wasn't just the mind flayer. Anyway, I didn't want to leave him out in the snow so I put him in my mom's car (which was outside on the driveway so did not help much in terms of warmth) and then said I'd be right back so I could get blankets and whatnot

After getting these blankets and basically swaddling him in them we both sat in the front seat and talked for a very long time and this is where I think I may have been Cali because all of the stuff I talked to him about in this chat was Cali backstory stuff. Or present Cali stuff? Cali stuff in general. I went on and on about how I'd done terrible things and wanted to help him to try doing some good for once. Hans 2.0 really seemed to be happy he had a friend and didn't want me to leave, but I knew if I stayed in the car all night someone would question it. It was 22:00 by this point so I told him I would go back inside the house for a bit and then come back after everyone else had gone to bed.
So this might be a weird comparison and I'd be willing to bet that no one aside from me will understand it but Hans 2.0 acted like Pumpkin from baman and piterman. Very skittish and cowardly and quiet. Like a terrified abused kitten being showed kindness for the first time. I felt so goddamn protective over this boi like I would fucking throw hands with anyone who DARED threaten to hurt him. Maybe a bit of a parental type feeling? This boi is my child and I would kill or die for him. Coming from the perspective I'm Cali in this situation it makes sense because uhhh Cali is very protective over this mind flayer and Hans. DM DON'T TOUCH MY SON

Anyway, when I went inside I mostly just had to make up excuses to my cousins why I'd been in my mom's car for so long and then spent the next two or so hours in the basement tinkering with an invention of some sort. I don't know what I was making but I knew it was going to be for Hans 2.0 so? Probably an upgrade or repair. My cousins have a literal metric ton of legos in a massive table with drawers in it in their basement and I was tinkering on that but had machine parts instead of Legos

At around midnight I deiced I'd go back out and spend the night in the car but my aunt was still awake. This aunt luckily is more open and out there than my other aunts and uncles (cool aunt FTW) and was totally fine with me burritoed in 3 blankets walking outside in the snow at midnight. So I got in the car and me and Hans 2.0 spent the rest of the night talking. Or, maybe not talking. The mind flayer was using his psyonics to tell me his life story. There were no words and no images but I somehow just understood and understood it had lived the shittiest life a creature could possibly live. Test subject for the duregar was the least bad thing I was shown. If anything, him getting killed temporarily was a kindness to him.

So yeah. Next day came around and I spent most of it getting stuff for Hans 2.0 while also keeping suspicion off my back. At around 19:00 my family said we were going to a 70's themed party and we all needed to get dressed so we could go but Hans was in my mom's car and if they saw him he was dead. Do not touch my fucking son. So I spent a long ass time stalling to prevent anyone from getting in the car but it wasn't working so I stole mom's keys and drove off in a frenzy in her car with Hans. The last part of the dream I remember was me being chased by 4 seperate cars full of different family members while Hans and I drove off into the sunset in an attempt to get away

Heyo! So a good friend of mine has been working on game development for quite some time and he needs a bit of feedback. We've put together a quick simple game dev survey and if you have a spare minute or two we'd love your feedback! Questions are pretty straightforwards and it shouldn't take long to fill out, maybe 5 minutes tops. Thanks in advance to anyone who decides to participate ^^

Heya! I've been noticing this over the past couple weeks now, but nowadays it seems I'm getting wayyyy more comments than I used to on submissions. Like, before I'd only ever get them as replies to my own comments, if that, but now I'm getting quite a few every week and I just thought I'd say thank you! I love seeing what people have to say about my work and it always makes me happy logging on and seeing the little "C" notif at the top right of my screen -w-
