I am Sisyphus the way I "suddenly" have a brilliant art idea, except it's always literally the exact same paper doll concept I've had for years on end since I started drawing digitally. The concept that never ever gets finished. But I SWEAR this time it'll work, I swear it!!!

I want to draw boy king "get ready with me" 😞 I want to draw layers(idea I've had at least 20 times atp) surely I'd finish it. Surely.

#every project threatens to be the picrew again....#except that one actually got finished! wow!!#but yeah literally the whole time ive drawn digitally. i have this same concept idea over and over again #like a recurring dream...or nightmare...#the allure of it is to be able to draw different clothes on one base #so you can see how the character would look w different things on #and not have to draw a entirely new thing every time you wanna test an outfit #but how it ends up is that i finish the base and then draw maybe one outfit and get tired with it 😭😭😭#i really love drawing out the different layers of the outfit #cause that kinda thing is super fascinating to me. especially old styles of clothing #but yeah. it is genuinely pushing the rock up the mountain #bcs as i said i get to a certain point. get bored. few weeks later. omg!! i have an idea!!! repeat.#BUT YEAH.#i wanna draw this boy king au one particularly bcs the LAYERS #theyre so COOL to me #and i want to actually focus on clothing fully #though i know already ill get wrapped up w the face regardless lol #but i am thinking deeply about layers and hair and such #maybe ill do it #i guess its just such a longer commitment than drawing a normal thing #and it feels endless so thats why i end up becoming sisyphus #but i dont think ill ever get tired of the idea of it. i mean its been almost a decade at this rate #catie.rambling.txt

had a dream two nights ago about being a mermaid living in a complex but mundane mermaid society at the bottom of a large lake. sounds fun and whimsical, right?? and it was! :D

UNTIL a neighboring volcano erupted and buried the lake under a pompeii-style layer of ash and magma.

and then i spent the next several in-dream hours watching everyone around me die while slowly boiling to death myself.

#dreams #then last night's dream was just one of the usual ones about being in the path of a disaster and telling ppl to evacuate and being told i'm #crazy. which is a flavor of recurring stress dream/nightmare i've been having for like 17 years. so

"recurring nightmare about cleaning supplies moving on their own" is a new one

#only technically recurring because this is the 2nd time ive had it #last time was a particularly memorable nightmare from when i was like. 10 #but still #the scary part of it is partly the absurdity #unclear if it is a ghost or what & that makes it scarier because ghosts have rules #brooms suddenly twitching and moving do not have rules because wtf #anyway yet more evidence i share a brain cell with my neurotic dog #i had like a 6x nightmare combo r.i.p #i think ssris sometimes cause vivid dreams as a side effect so thats probably related? idk #it felt like the sort of thing where i normally wouldnt remember the whole thing #like just. a lot of dream. accidentally recording like 6 hours of tv when you just wanted one show energy #and i didnt even want the show!#personal

It's actually really appropriate that bsd happened to me because I learned about the Sengoku period of Japan from Samurai Warriors. I was moé Oichi in the very first dream in which I exercised volitional control over the dream narrative and environment.

#bsd #bungou stray dogs #samurai warriors #ive always exercised complete volitional control over myself/my dream character #but i had chronic and constant and sometimes recurring nightmares and couldnt control anything else #so i remember very fondly the first time i figured out how to adjust the narrative and environment #i was oichi on a vicious battlefield and i curled up on the ground crying because it was too chaotic and violent and terrifying #there were no clear “sides” — so there wasnt anywhere to go for safety. someone noticed me and raised their battle axe to kill me.#and while cowering on the ground all i wanted was an invisibility cloak to hide under #and got one! so from there i willed a proper fucking sword and horse #then i willed oichi's husband and saved him like a damsel in distress #first nightmare i ever turned into an adventure #now i have so much control over my dreams that i can run simulations of major decisions and can collapse the entire environment if i want to #but my dreams characters (which are just less conscious me) get annoyed if i break the dream without engaging with whatever it's processing #so i try not to.#also sometimes it's an interesting or exciting story and i want to see where it's going #or it's laden with imagery i want to unpack #or i forget it's a dream until the dream characters break the fourth wall at the end to deliver me the takeaway I need to remember #but none of this happened suddenly. it was a slow process that began out of my desperation to no longer be victimized by my own nightmares #and oichi was the turning point.#and also got me very into the sengoku period of japan from ages 9-15.#that abruptly ended because of a marijuana leaf #but that's a separate story #anyway #it just struck me that everything i know about japanese history. came to me first as gaggles of bishie japanese historical figures.#sorry japan but thank you bishie nobunaga and bishie dazai

CHIPPED THAT SAME MOTHERFUCKING TOOTH AGAIN.

ON A PLAIN PIECE OF BUTTERED TOAST.

NOT EVEN TOUGH TOAST. LITERALLY JUST STOREBOUGHT WHITE BREAD, TOASTED ONLY LONG ENOUGH FOR THE BUTTER TO MELT. NO GOLDEN BROWN TO BE HAD.

I SWEAR TO FUCK IM GONNA DO VIOLENCE ON MY DENTIST BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK

#have i told yall that literally my one and only psychotic episode in my whole life was over this.#the last time this tooth broke i had just come out of a (recurring) dream wherein my teeth fall apart/out. like an hour or so prior.#and i was very briefly convinced i was still dreaming. and needed to find a way out.#that shit messed me up for MONTHS.#nightmare nightmare nightmare

prev post literally since i was a child ive wanted to go to a super isolated spot where absolutely nobody else on the planet would hear me and just scream AS loud as i possibly could. partially for stress relief and partially bc i just want to know how loud i could scream if i wasnt worried abt freaking ppl

#bc like. I could drive* somewhere super isolated but What if there is a hiker. and then thats WAY scarier than hearing someone scream in a #spot w other ppl like if yr all alone and then hear an earpiercing scream While in the woods id find that scarier than being in town and #hearing a scream bc like yes Uhoh somebody screamed but at least yr aware there r other ppl around so its not as offguard #+like kids scream allllll the time for no reason at all. just bc its fun for them you know. i was so jealous when i was a kid bc all the #other kids could scream and scream and scream as loud as they could but i couldnt bc i was scared of getting in trouble. and now ive #squandered yhe time of my life where its socially acceptable to scream as loud as i could. Ughh #one of my recurring nightmares as a kid was that i was in a life or death situation like A killer or something and id try to scream and jus #nothing would come out like i could feel the air passing through my voicebox but no sound came out #not just screaming like. So many dreams where i just couldnt talk and everybody was mad at me bc i couldnt talk #scary stuff.#but ya. i think my only recourse is to learn how to man a boat solo and go out to the middle of the ocean and check radar to make sure #Nobody is close enough and then i can scream. but what if i piss off a whale or something #maybe a little room deep deep deep underground with like super super super thick walls and the door is sealed shut and its in the middle of #a remote forest on an impassable mountain. and then i can scream #just realized i forgot to finish that asterisk earlier you guys mustve felt rly abandoned im sorry. were you scared. its okay. connors here #* i cant drive

is it weird that i miss having dreams. i mean i think like 2/3 of them were recurring nightmares but tbh i could go for a nightmare right now.

#lithium fucking NUKED them and idk i don't actually get sleepy from it anymore just nauseous af.#idk i want something interesting to happen to me. that's not too scary like real life can be.#i remember 1 dream that was good. 1.#3 dreams were just. weird lmao.#and the rest were fucking nightmares #a large chunk were recurring #but 1 novel 1 in particular if i think too hard about i will cry. even now. anyway.#was absorbed by a sea sponge the size of an armchair a while ago. went oh. i can dream again.#ha ha ha #404 not found

For the asks: 2 (per your instructions, maybe just writing out your username?) and 8! :DDD

Let's see...

2. show us a picture of your handwriting?

8. any recurring dreams?

YES the one that first comes to mind is where I'm in some rickety old barn with wood siding that is so run down that you can see through the cracks and one touch will probably turn it into a pile of toothpicks. Then I walk outside and I'm in this gigantic open field, flat landscape, green grass, winds blowing, sky turning a greenish color, and dark blue storm clouds everywhere. Everywhere I look on the horizon is a tornado, headed straight toward me, but still a long way out. I always wake up before they hit but that's what growing up in Tornado Alley in the U.S. will do to your subconscious 😂

Also I get the teeth falling out dreams 🤢😭 feels like having a mouthful of skittles and there's nothing you can do to stop them all from falling out of your gums, it's awful. Usually I get that one if I'm particularly stressed about something.

These were fun!

Ask Game

#ask game #recurring dream #more like nightmares lol #handwriting #thanks for the ask!!

just saw the substance. i liked that it was called "the substance." along with many other things about it

#like the soundtrack and the editing and the art direction and the lack of subtlety and the tiny gao between margaret qualleys teeth #the movie was super gross i had to look away multiple times. it also made me laugh a lot. it might give me nightmares. maybe #very specific recurring stress dream #gap*

i am not immune to the idea of s1-2 samifer

#avery.txt #young sam being so desperate and confused and distraught bc he thought he could escape this life but no. he couldn't #and here's this easy calm confident man who tells him it'll be alright bc he's strong and capable #sam keeps having nightmares but sometimes this man shows up and pushes them away and makes him feel at peace #not to be all freudian abt it but he never had this support from his father & now there's this handsome man encouraging and accepting him #so he feels Something. and it's fine because it's just this recurring dream right?#but then he finally is able to ask this dream man what/who he is and. he says he's an angel. who's been watching over sam since he was born #(this is a scenario where lucifer gets out of the cage 4 seasons early ig)#and sam finally feels SEEN. he finally feels like his faith has been worth it.#he throws caution to the wind. grabs his angel and kisses him. tells him he wants him even tho he knows its wrong.#and his angel is kinda taken aback. this was NOT where he saw this going/where he was trying to steer it. he didn't think sam would do THAT.#but he gives sam what he wants and oh. it's GOOD. sam dreams that he shows his angel all the love his angel has given him.#idk where this goes/what the endgame would be here but. i love young sam still grieving jess and searching for his dad or grieving for him #*being swept up by someone who gives him what he needs and cares about him unconditionally #and doesnt care that he ran away. that he doesnt obey. that he doesnt fit the mold. someone who loves these things about him.#i love them so much in every possible way <3 con or noncon <3 varying lvls of fucked up <3 love all of it #averywriting

accidentally fell asleep (this is fine, I figured that would probably happen), woke up in a lot of pain and also panicking over a nightmare we had that wasn't trauma related but has triggered flashbacks anyway, managed to fall asleep again, then once again woke up in a lot of pain and we'd had a dream about something else that was upsetting plus we're still feeling uneasy and having flashbacks from that first dream and we're awake way earlier than I wanted and I'm not sure what's causing the really bad pain but anyway I feel like shit

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #vent post #dream posting #the first dream we had was set in a house that was like a weird combination of houses we've lived in #and I think that's why it's triggered a bunch of flashbacks because it felt especially similar to one specific house #but I don't remember most of it besides it involving having an argument with someone and seeing a UFO #and waking up with an intense sense of dread around this UFO #and immediately remembering another nightmare we had about aliens and UFOs as a kid that fucking terrified us #and honestly still freaks us the fuck out when we think about it nearly 2 decades later #not sure what the deal is with the recurring UFO dreams where nothing bad happens but we wake up terrified anyway #but it sure is something

meta version of the usual "find out after getting your college degree/during college that you missed a couple credits in high school and that will invalidate your college degree so you have to go back to high school and you forgot about that class/ never found the location/ now it's almost midterms" stress dream this morning. it wasn't actually a stress dream, it was incorporated into a dream with a lot going on. so first the dream pov character was like "wow, I'm ACTUALLY in high school and going to ACTUALLY do the homework this is a new one" and also was kind of genre savvy and went "yeah i have had this literal stress dream a lot haha" and then someone was like "are you sure you have to do this? it seems weird. you like, have your bachelors" and the pov character went "wait. maybe i should talk to a guidance counselor. maybe there ARE other options...."

#would be very funny if this was how i stopped having this stress dream forever #like the time i stopped having the recurring scary cats nightmare #bc i kept having it long enough to see them have adorable scary kittens #and that seems to have resolved something forever
