Tag that Frisk, eat that food, go you.
awww thanks Ecks
y'know, I never asked you what your dreams are like
Usually I don't remember them, but the ones I do tend to be kind of... patchwork, maybe, would be the right word?
It sort of feels like my brain has a script and a set of roles for a play, and it just kind of rummages through my subconscious at random to pick out settings for the background and people for the cast.
Most of it tends to be recognizable from my memories, if jammed together in weird ways and run in odd sequences, but sometimes there'll be things I can't place the origins of.
maybe they're from things that happened you don't remember, dun dun dun
Hah, maybe. : D Usually it just kind of... slides over logical issues with the random casting like 'why is the girl from my math class flying a spaceship, dream logic, doesn't matter'.
But sometimes if there's a big mismatch, someone put in a role that they'd just flat-out never fit into, it sort of makes the dream shudder to a halt and crash like a computer glitch and I wake up.
Does that ever happen to you?
nope, never, but then again I... never really see people I know, in dreams? often it's archetypes or just... places where there's no people at all, really.
The closest I've had to a dream-crash was being lucid enough to know things were tipping towards a very bad nightmare and going 'nope, nope, wake up, this'll end badly' and waking up.
There aren't really events my brain goes 'wait that shouldn't happen'
Good for you, show your subconscious who's boss in that nightmare. : D
: D I was still a little sweaty and had to get up and walk around a bit before going back to bed, but i'm still pleased i managed to cut the worst of it off at the pass
Man tho computer crash dreams sound cool as balls
Glad you caught it in time, then. And it's not really like the crash is this big thing, it's more like this moment of 'hey, wait a minute, that's definitely not right', and then everything kind of stops, lingers for a moment, and then vanishes because I've woken up.
...an AI inside a crashing computer sounds like a really cool idea for a sci-fi story, though.
heck yeah it does
man, it'd probably be a horror story
I'm remembering Rose's Room
I don't think I've heard of that one? I'm kind of a wimp about horror stuff, so I might not have seen it.
It's a Steven Universe episode, would you like spoilers?
Okay so Steven discovers his mother's room in the temple one day - an expanse of pink clouds that can make anything you ask for
(although you can't eat any food you make, it just turns to pink puff)
Steven tries it out for a while and has fun, and then starts getting wigged out, and then asks to go back to Beach City
but Beach City is... weird. People repeating words, having undefined faces, moving oddly, frybo is there
the room has attempted to simulate the entire town, a task it apparently really can't handle as things start breaking down
He gets out, but boy that was probs sure an Experience
Ooh, yeah, that sounds creepy. And probably super paranoia-inducing.
oh heck yeah. it's why he bites his dad when they meet again (because again, trying to eat anything in there makes it poof)
it's good there IS a reliable method of telling
Yeah. Albeit a slightly aggressive one.
hehehe
but yeah, that's what I imagine it's like
Actually, how much of SU have you seen, because i have the urge to aggressively peddle it now
I have a vague outline knowledge of the series and have read the entire TV Tropes page plus some fanfic, but I've never actually seen it because I very rarely sit down and watch a full episode of a TV series these days.
(By the way, if you've got any good fanfic recs I'd appreciate them. : D)
Hmm, I haven't dipped into SU fanfic so much, which is weird bc fusions are like. everything I could ever want in a trope.
There's this one, which is about Pearl getting split into two sides of her personality : D
(it does feel like it could have ended in the middle and been better for it, but that's personal opinion)
everyone is really in character and the writing is great holy shit. Sadly seems dead tho.
(which sucks bc the whole 'Chara is there' revelation would have had a unique twist to it if it happened)
Man, speaking of SU crossovers, I really want to see more 'Monster As Gems' AUs. I've found a handful, but not nearly as much as I'd like. I just really want to see what their fusions would be like.
holy fuck yes. you know my pain
(stable Alphyne. stable Alphyne)
(A spear that crackles with lightning)
(man tho seeing Undyne and Alphys separate might be as weird as seeing Ruby and Sapphire)
Alphys and Undyne fuse regularly and easily, comfortable together or apart. Sans and Papyrus use to be perfectly in sync with each other, but lately they don't seem to fuse at all.
Mettaton and Napstablook's fusion seems like it's just Mettaton on a larger scale at first, his personality overwhelming the shyer half, but they have hidden depths if you pay attention. Frisk and Chara are more often fused than separate.
ALL THE FUSION IDEAS. : D
man tho what if the amalgamates are like
it was an attempt to save shattered gems that uh
Fits pretty well with canon, I think, yeah.
Alphys with her jeweller's eyeglass and tweezers
and then you get the less stable/more esoteric fusions
I like the idea of a Sans/Alphys fusion being, like... ridiculously good for observation and repair work, because it's her mechanical skills plus his skill at checking things and telekinesis. Pretty physically weak, but they build stuff.
Asgore and Undyne work well. Asgore and Toriel absolutely do not even if Toriel were to agree. Sans and Toriel work well. Papyrus and Mettaton is an experience. Chara and Sans is a mess. Nobody let Frisk and Alphys fuse.
ooooh
the dinosaur skellll
Papyrus and Undyne fusing will get the job done, but they're not super great with self-restraint and might also overenthusiastically do fifty other things they weren't supposed to before unfusing.
Gaster... might have been Papyrus and Sans' fusion before something went wrong and they stopped spending so much time fused, come to think of it.
: DDDD yusss i love this idea
god I should stop reading all of your everything both of you write, right? what a creep, the goop
Nope, you should read more of it and then add your own stuff, that's how it works. : D
dude like i don't lurk ur plurks too
Do lurk sometimes a funny happen
I lurk everywhere. I am in all places and all times, as long as those times and places have cool headcanons.
Echo might just be this universe's gaster
I also read everyone's plurks but rarely say anything
You know that one tumblr post that's like 'you're not shouting into the Void in vain, the Void is just practicing active listening and wants you to be able to let it all out without feeling talked over or judged'? I feel that's very Gaster Aesthetic.
because it's adorable, that's why
yusssss (except when he isn't, but that's other stories)
yeah I strongly prefer Good Dad or Best Boss as... as you know
Mostly I've played villains or rude fucks.
probs gonna tidy my accounts up now
imma ruin it or fall asleep trying
i though u were going to bed tho
the point of bed is sleeps
I say, having stayed up to 2:30
still, my thread tracker is now up to date
Night on your end of things, I think. Sleep well. : D
