I want to write about dragons. why do I want to write about dragons

I'm gonna blame the incessant worldbuilder brain already whispering about wing shapes and body mass limits, and the implications of domestic dragons on an agricultural level

My eyelid has been twitching on and off for the past few days because I'm having a bad time anxiety wise and its very very frustrating to try to look up ways to stop it and have every site say "have you tried being less stressed? Have you tried going to sleep at a reasonable time? Have you tried to not have caffeine?"

okay there's Sisyphus and he's suffering sooo bad and the boulder is heavy, the uphill slope endless, and there are fresh horrors every 3 feet. BUT sometimes he passes a button and all of the misery drops away. he presses the button. he makes a stupid little quip, eg "just butting in to press my button :3". you can tell hes genuinely pleased with himself. then its over and he goes back to his hell boulder and endless pain. until the next button.

this is what it feels like to play Bendy & The Ink Machine.

I remember when I was working in the office at my job for a while cause they were understaffed in there & my coworker was showing me how to package the invoices for mailing & was like "I tape the envelope shut cause who knows where these things have been I'm not licking that" & I taped the first few but then caved & decided like hell if I'm gonna waste an opportunity to lick an envelope to seal it like I had just written a heartwarming letter to my lover overseas & just started licking those bad boys. really tied together the whole atmosphere & vibe of retyping handwritten invoices into a probably outdated system & then punching out with a physical timecard & a clock that was perpetually two minutes behind

mirror:rorrim on the wall, who's fault is it all?

an idea for a timeloop/groundhog day fnaf:sb AU, as presented by (throws confetti) meeeee

in this AU, you continually wake up/come to in front of the timeclock at the pizzaplex after having just clocked in for your first night on the job. You die, leave the building, manage to survive until 6AM? You black out and wake up at 12AM, standing right where you were six hours before. No one else seems to remember or realize what's happening unless you directly attempt to make them recall that you've met before. You can't seem to figure out how to get out of this timeloop, and if you're not careful, you might just lose your mind... again.

Lingering in mirrors around the 'plex are reflections of your past selves, the ones that were killed or survived or any other number of things. They tell you about their attempts to break the loop, about how to survive certain encounters with the dangers of the 'plex, give their best attempts at advice on what you could be missing that frees everyone from the cycle of dying and waking up again.

But one of these past selves is a little... off, even compared to the others. Turns out, in one of the most recent loops, you lost your mind and took the matters of life and death into your own hands. You had been killed numerous times- crushed, cut, bitten, bled out, suffocated, bludgeoned, dropped, strangled, stabbed- and at last had decided it was your turn to do some killing. And you had been good at it. You had killed every last moving thing in the building and spent the final hour watching the sun rise on a world that you hadn't touched in god knows how long. And you had felt free for the first time in... months? Years? How long had you been stuck here? Not even your reflections are sure.

To try and keep the loop from becoming a neverending bloodbath, your past selves kept the memories of every previous end from you. They give you advice, tell you of things that helped them, admit that you had bonded with certain animatronics during repeated run-ins over the course of several loops but that so far it had never amounted to anything and it never helped when said animatronic might catch and kill you before you got the chance to talk to them in the next loop, and tell you of every small bit of information they uncovered that might help you find the way out of this purgatory. You are your own last chance to get out of this now, you tell yourself. There has to be a way out of here. Otherwise, you might as well succumb to madness, though you know you already have.
