weird dreams update the setting was a little cottage in the middle of nowhere where i lived with a few more people, animals and???the old lady from the aristocats????

and there were two moons in the sky, a rare fenomenon that we were told about but didn't expect to be This Big. as soon as i make one of my roommates notice the second moon we notice it got much bigger and was currently going through a very fast eclypse, going from red, to black, to white again. the moon then "hatched", breaking in half like an egg, and revealed that inside it there was. earth. like the planet earth.

and as we heard everyone in the world screaming in shock and fear the second earth hatched again, and showed that inside it there was mercury, then venus, going through all the planets including pluto and when pluto hatched inside there was a much greener, "better" earth, with big trees and a much bluer and pure water, and then it hatched again and disappeared.

chat what does it mean

A selection of the daily letters (sent but undelivered) to Gio Fiore:

26 August 2017

Dear Gio, I'm writing you this letter because even as summer's ended, my father has yet to give me back my phone and laptop. So I hope that, somehow, this gets to you. Papa, Enzo and I are back in Milan. It's only an hour's drive away from Laglio, but it felt like it went on forever. The whole ride over, I couldn't stop thinking about you, and why you didn't show. You promised last night you'd come see me off but there was no sign of you at all. No call, no text, not even a note. Have I said something last night that's offended you? Or maybe done something to push you away? Whatever it is, please tell me, so I can make things right. I miss you so much already, but love you even more. I hope to hear from you soon. Yours always, Nicola xo

01 September 2017

My dearest Gio, It's been a week since I've seen or heard from you, and every day, I miss you more and more. It's another few days until school starts, but my father's announced at dinner tonight that we'll be moving all the way to the other end of the country — far, far away from you, to his hometown in Palermo, Sicily. At first I didn't understand why he would be pulling me out of school my senior year, but eventually, he came clean. It's to protect the baby, he said. But I don't know if I can fully believe him. Something in me feels like it might have more to do with not letting anyone in Milan know that his teenage daughter is with child. I wish you were here. More than anything. Love always, Nicola xo

08 September 2017

Tesoro mio, Palermo is beautiful, not unlike Laglio. It's sunny here most of the time, and I spend my days taking walks. My doctor here said it's good for both me and the baby. But I get tired often. That's to be expected, she said and I just nod along. I don't tell her that I don't really sleep well at night. I'd hate for it to somehow reach my father's ears. Everyone here knows everybody. But it's okay, I don't really mind the walks. I don't know anyone else here so walking passes the time. I've attached our address at the back of this letter, in case you can come and visit. I hope you do. I miss you terribly. Until then, Nicola xo

15 September 2017

My darling Gio, I had an ultrasound appointment this morning. Our baby's heartbeat is getting stronger with each visit. I wish I could somehow send you a snippet of it but I've no way to send it to you. My father has given me back my laptop, for school, but there's no internet in the house. We should appreciate nature more, he said. As if me taking my daily walks isn't enough. Still, I'll keep the audio file for when I can send you things online again. Thinking about you Nicola xo

03 October 2017

Cuore mio, This letter's a little bulkier than usual. I found this cute birthday card the other day and thought you might find it funny. I've also attached a photo of me and baby. As you can see, my bump's more noticeable now. I hope you're celebrating your special day as wonderfully as we had planned it should be. I'm sorry I'm not there to personally wish you a happy birthday. But please know that I'm thinking of you always. Happy birthday, my love. May you have many, many more to come. Love you forever, Nicola xo

16 October 2017

My love! We're having a boy! I just got back from another ultrasound check and was told that we're having a boy! I've included a snapshot of him in the envelope. It's a little hard to see but I promise, it's there! Haha! I know it's late but perhaps this can serve as my late birthday present. :) Wish you were here, Nicola xo

28 November 2017

Dear Gio, Felt our son kick for the very first time just now, and the first thing I thought of was to tell you so you could feel it, too. That is, until I remembered that you're not here. Oh well, at least you'll know when this gets to you. Better late than never, I guess. Goodnight for now, Nicola xo

25 December 2017

Dearest darling, I hope you're keeping warm there in Laglio. When my mother was still alive, she used to tell me of how the winters there can get quite cold. So, please don't forget to wear your jacket. And gloves. And a hat! I'd hate for you to ever get sick, especially during the holidays. I wish we were spending Christmas together but hearing from you would be more than enough for me. Either way, I wish you and your family a very happy holiday season. And I hope you receive everything you've wished for. Merry Christmas, amore mio. I love you. Forever yours, Nicola xo

27 December 2017

Love of my life, I hope that by the time this reaches you, it'd be New Year's Eve, so that in a way, I'm there with you when the new year rolls around. As the year slowly comes to a close, I find myself torn. Saying goodbye to this year feels like bidding you — and our memory together — a final farewell. But as much as it pains me that we won't be starting 2018 like we wanted to, in three months' time, our son will be here. And I can only pray that you will be with us by then, too. Please never forget how much I love you. Until my last breath, I am forever yours. Your Nicola xo

johnrussophoto: N O R M A N R E E D U S Interview & Photographs by} ME 😉 Location} Los Angeles, California Produced by} Ken Waller for Photohouse Productions Grooming} Barbara Guillaume Styling} Jennifer Austin Following his departure from The Commonwealth, Daryl Dixon washes ashore in France, raising the ire of a splintered but growing autocratic movement centered in Paris and endangering a young boy at the heart of a benevolent religious movement. Norman Reedus is… Daryl Dixon. JR: What a ride it’s been. You started a journey with “The Walking Dead” and are now in “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon”. Could you ever have imagined it would be this great of a run? NR: We aren’t done yet! I would never have imagined it would be the success it’s been, and the new show is another level completely we are all really proud of. I feel like this show and the continuation of this show has been such a blessing and such a rarity in this business that I am forever grateful to everyone involved. JR: Where does the new season of “Daryl Dixon” pick-up? What can we expect of Daryl and Carol? NR: The new season of DARYL DIXON picks up with the continuation of our story in France with DARYL DIXON-THE BOOK OF CARYL and what it means to be family and what we are willing to fight for to keep it.

anyway i think i dreamt the next Mascot Horror game

you're a kid who's dared to enter an old factory where it's said people died because of a ghost. of course you don't believe it, but after a few time in there the floor under your feet breaks, and you fall down

(mind you the breaking floor is random, it always happens after the first minute in there but never at the same place or time)

once down you discover there was another factory under the factory, one more similar to a labirynth, and from down below you can hear someone calling for help. from that point onwards you can decide to just leave (which gives you a fast ending where you just go home) or go deeper and lower each floor gives you a little "hint", like the character's thoughts. sometimes you get generic stuff like "wow it's creepy down here", or "i wonder what they used these machine for", but every few floors you'd head a heartbeat and the hint would change into a different font, asking who's there, that you should go back, that he's coming to get you, until you reach the 20th floor and the hint would be a full-screen message:

HIDE.

you'd start hearing a clock getting louder and louder, and you have half a minute to find a hiding spot. some places are more obvious, some others are more exposed, but the game would let you choose as you wish once the countdown is over, you'd see this ghost: they look like a long shadow, with the generic devil horns, and with a distorted face, as if it kept glitching out and changing. it would look around for a few seconds, and if you picked a good spot it would just leave, otherwise it would jumpscare the player and tell them to please look for a better one next time, and then leave if you pick a bad one or just can't find one again after that, he would grab you and very realistically open your stomach and rip off the stuff inside :)
