I've just discovered what "reverse comfort" audios are and some of these are WAY too applicable to my Traumatized Paras™️, I fear this is going to become a Problem

wdym there's Things I have to Do and I can't just lie down and daydream for the next four hours

[d4ndelion-d4ydre4ms]

There's so many posts about pacing in circles while daydreaming, where are my id/madders who need to sit or lie down when you daydream (bonus points if you close your eyes)

okay wait id/madders how do we feel about brushing teeth. I personally love it cause its free 2 minute daydream time. I wish I could brush my teeth longer tbh

I just put on my shoes to go to a place until I remembered it doesnt really exist. So...so, yeah, thats how its going

Alright, I promised @maddgical-boy I'd share the pirate paracosm so here goes :) I wrote this post while playing Malinda's cover of Drunken Sailor on loop, 10/10 would recommend

I'm not sure if this counts as a fictparacosm, because it's in the PoTC universe but set much earlier and it's not focused on canon characters (in fact, the only canon characters who even show up in this paracosm are Jack, Gibbs, and Teague)

Captain Maeve Sparrow is Jack's younger sister (not biologically related- Captain Teague found her abandoned on Tortuga as a child, begrudgingly took her in, and raised her as a sailor because "now I have two kids to deal with so you might as well be something useful, this island has enough decorative wenches already".) She trusts practically no one except her crew, because what can I say, I'm a sucker for found-family tropes. She also has an ongoing rivalry with the governor of a small port town- thanks to the petty recklessness she picked up from Jack, she's repeatedly raided Port Westwind just to taunt Governor Everitt and steal her own wanted posters (idk if you've seen Pirates: Band of Misfits but it's a lot like the wanted poster scene- Maeve wants to see how high she can drive the price on her head).

Everitt's son, Jacob, always wanted to leave the port but was raised to be his father's successor, and he was fascinated by pirates despite his father's hatred of them (basically Elizabeth at the beginning of the first movie but genderswapped lol). Maeve made a bet with her first mate that she could convince Jacob to turn pirate, so she entered the town in disguise and found him in a tavern. She kept returning for a few weeks, talking to him, befriending him, and eventually revealed who she really was and invited him onto the ship. He tentatively agreed. Over the next several months, he begins regularly sneaking out to join Maeve's crew and is gradually accepted as one of them, he learns how to be a pirate, Maeve and Jacob fall in love.. everything's going great until he sees her kill someone (sending him into a moral dilemma and making him reconsider piracy), Everitt finds out what's happening and forces Jacob to sell Maeve out (Jacob tries to protect her, but Everitt is a shitty father who resorts to threats and manipulation), and Maeve is captured and very nearly executed but she escapes.

Of course, I wouldn't leave my paras on a bad ending like that, so after a very convoluted storyline that probably only makes sense in my head lol, Jacob ends up risking his own life to save Maeve's and starts to earn back her trust (he also gets some.. important context about the guy she killed, which I'll probably explain later). It's not easy at first but eventually everything is ok again and they both get a bunch of character development :)

Picrews under the cut!

Maeve

(she looks too friendly in these picrews lol.. tbh she's probably my meanest para. Feral cat kinda personality. Because we need more evil women in the world.)

Jacob

A few of Maeve's crew (Luciana, the first mate; Theo, the ship's doctor; and Nicholas, who I'll probably explain later but long story short he's dead and it has to do with the context I mentioned earlier)

@maddgical-boy this was me trying to figure out how the hell the Council works and randomly making Erin a microbiologist lol

my fav thing about having ocs is having a basic line of lore for them but as soon as someone asks me about them I completely bullshit everything I tell them. Yeah this wasn't true like 5 minutes ago but now it is

[d4ndelion-d4ydre4ms]

when i both:

1. want to infodump about my paracosms to someone and

2. feel like my paracosms are so incredibly personal to me that i never want anyone knowing literally anything about them ever

at the same time

[d4ndelion-d4ydre4ms]

Pro tip if you're feeling overstimulated just project it onto one of your paras and then daydream about them being comforted 👍

(I have also discovered that I can project my disability onto my paras. Sorry, little fictional people in my head, you have chronic pain now. Ngl I'm surprised I didn't think of this sooner.)

FINALLY SOMEONE PUT IT INTO WORDS

lately when daydreaming my brain becomes like a broken record and just keeps repeating the same seconds over and over again and i need to metaphorically whack it with my fist to get it back on track. and it never works. i am trapped in an endless cycle of the same moment please help

[d4ndelion-d4ydre4ms]

Hi! You can call me Morgan or Dandelion (any pronouns), if you know maddgical-boy you might also recognize me as 🎆💜

I finally decided to make a blog about my daydreams, I'm still getting comfortable talking about them so I'm starting small :)

Feel free to send in asks about my paracosms, ramble about your own, or just say hi! All madders/iders are welcome here, no matter how "weird," dark, self-indulgent, or otherwise unusual your daydreams are.

Might add more to my intro post later, but for now, I hope you're having a great day/night <3
