#(deep down in her dreams)

[felassan]

remember that wild Dragon Age theme park ride (Dragon Age: Flight of the Wardens), originally located in Dubai until it randomly turned up years later (now also oddly-rebranded as "[Not Dragon Age We Swears It]: The Guardian") in, of all places, Skegness England? well, I had to satisfy my curiosity and obsession with obscure pieces of Dragon Age media & archival thereof. and so - actually quite some time ago now - I finally got around to going on a pilgrimage there (which was this whole, like.. heinous harrowing in and of itself, that I will not go into), and I rode it

and to my surprise the original Dragon Age in-ride movie is still part of the ride experience! - complete with references to darkspawn, a Pride demon, dragons, green "rifts", Discount Anders (a Grey Warden[?] mage called 'Eldron'), Discount Yavanna (a Witch of the Wilds called 'Alexia') and Dragon Age: Inquisition soundtrack music. there is also now a new pre-ride movie which replaces the old Dragon Age pre-ride movie as part of the ride's rebranding, and i simply ?¿?

there are also still quite a lot of identifiable Dragon Age props in the fantasy-themed queue-area of the ride (so these must have been part of the whole purchase between parks), including multiple iconic Inquisitor helmets, Grey Warden shields, a Dragon Age dragon (now with DA-dragon identifiable horns.. sawn off??), and several Dragon Age banners, including the Inquisition hairy eyeball, the templar symbol and the Circle symbol. here's some pictures.

[^this image is taken from the video linked below]

I also captured the new pre-ride movie, and you can see it along with the Dragon Age in-ride movie here ⬇️. and so now, with this epilogue to the.. most odyssey of all time, more than two years after the first message about the ride was ever sent to Ghil Dirthalen, this adventure in obscurity and the strange fever-dream meta story of the Dragon Age: Flight of the Wardens era in Dragon Age history is finally complete.

Ghil Dirthalen: The Guardian??? {Overview. - Spoilers All}

some further notes, thoughts and commentary under the cut -

there's a few seconds missing from this capture of the in-ride movie. for the sake of the curious and completion: in them, you're still in the fort and you see lots of 'Wardens' walking and milling around.

a camera in the ride takes two photos of the riders during the ride, which are displayed on a screen on the way out. you can choose to buy these from the Fantasy Island merchandise store. you know those photos of people on log flume rides? it's like those, only of the four riders in a row in the seats. the photos have Fantasy Island branding on them and fire along the bottom, then in two corners there's a bit of a dragon's head and that's about it. the ride photo is the only Guardian-specific merch available at the park.

some of the queue area props appear to be from random other places. like there was a barrel which had something like "1850 distillery" written on it, which is obviously temporally/thematically and universe-ly out of place (not that that's at all unreasonable given the rest of the rideworld lore, there's totally a way it could have gotten there easily hh, see below), and I guess it's a spare or leftover prop from a Western-themed ride or something? others were generic sword'n'sorcery fantasy props (some of these are from the ride's previous life in Dubai though). there are also some pretty random props, like a dead stuffed roe deer's head on the wall and a.. comically large spoon.

there's music playing in the queue area, but it's not DA music, it's generic ye olde fantasy world music.

some folks there mistakenly thought that the long themed lead-up (it was pretty darn long) queue area with the props was the entrance to or start of something completely different, like a haunted house or maze type thing, or was the ride 'experience' in and of itself.

the ride attendant gives you the option of watching the new pre-ride movie or not. I guess they get sick of putting it on and listening to it 9000 times a day (valid), and also cutting it out reduces queue times as it's about five minutes long. it's screened in a little enclosed room at the end of the queue area. you go in and sit down, they show it to you, then you go through another door to the chair machine.

the in-ride movie is blurry and poor quality. I heard someone else who rode it say that it was so blurry that they had no idea what was going on hhh

Now about the new pre-ride movie. in the linked video, the start of the new pre-ride movie isn't included in full at normal speed as it seemed to be a compilation of whatever random fantasy-themed stock footage the video creator could find, stitched together. but again for the curious and the sake of completion: it starts out panning randomly around SPACE, like at the solar system and of planets and at the Milky Way. for a sec I wondered if it was made up of random old Mass Effect assets. then it shows dragons (FROM SPACE) invading an Earth-like planet where I suppose the Ferelden-y kindgom (formerly called "Noathen", now called "Elvia" or something) setting in the rideworld is now supposed to be set. these invading dragons invade either from space or.. another dimension?? or maybe from the future or both?? [see below], entering through a big green rift. (and they still have the green coloring for the rifts and call it/them "rifts" like in DA, which was honestly so funny to me for some reason). the whole panning in from space start to the movie reminded me a lot of the Easter eggs in the DA and ME games that, while they're just Easter eggs for fun and I don't subscribe to this theory myself (as DA is its own great, self-contained thing), could light-heartedly imply that the planet with Thedas on it is a planet in the MEverse (like the krogan head in the Winter Palace in DAI or the ogre in that ME dlc).

in the pre-ride movie, the kingdom of "Elvia" might have actually been called "Albion", which is the earliest-known name for the island of Britain. (it was hard to make out exactly what the king was saying there) the new pre-ride movie seems like it was made in England and ofc thats a common fantasy setting, so I could see it, especially since the king character's name was something like Aethylswyth, which sounded very "Old English". for me personally, if it was "Albion", it adds fuel to the fire of Caitie's cracktheory/"trying to make this fit"-headcanon for the ride story/lore (see Caitie's original video on the ride's previous life for this), that it's set somewhere obscure and backwatery in Ferelden, which is kinda England- or Britain-inspired. (dont take these thoughts or other thoughts in this post about the lore/canon etc too srsly pls hh, it's just crack for fun and I know tis just an off-brand themepark ride)

on the whole the new pre-ride movie is pretty random. there's a giant in it, but it doesn't look like a DAI giant. (is it his big spoon??) it shows a fortress in part of it which looks a bit like Skyhold if you squint, with the long bridge approaching it as the entrance. at one point one of the dragons that pops up is a dragon designed more in the style of a dragon as they are sometimes depicted in, for example, Chinese mythology and folklore. the "communication device" the king described had me rolling, it's exactly like a Dragon Age Skype Crystal or a working set of eluvians from Thedas.. I wondered if the video creator was inspired some by DAI promo images and took cues from the Inquisitor's green hand/the Anchor, since the king has a green glowing thing on (or in?) his chest. and when the king started listing the elements humans are made of, I was reminded of Fullmetal Alchemist.

also, "through a time rift".. I mean technically Dorian's involvement in DAI DOES show green space-time magic right? Where is this other dimension? ofc I know it's not literally Dragon Age, but it's funny to think about and to try and make it "fit" skhskdhfjhe. is it the Fade? the Void? from somewhere in-between like Tevinter Nights implies exists? or is it the dimension which has Thedas's mundane world itself in it - like maybe the dragons are invading this poor guy's kingdom dimension from Thedas? if so what tf is going on in Thedas?? did Solas' explosion at the Conclave ripple through spacetime and rip holes in the fabrics of other worlds as well - like is Solas out here accidentally causing interdimensional Space Dragon invasions? like, theoretically.. the new pre-ride move does reference the in-ride movie, and in turn the in-ride movie is still Dragon Age (!), so technically the new pre-ride movie IS.. kind of.. weirdly.. canon.

((the pre-ride movie references an "outerworld", implying that even in THAT dimension there's an outer world and an inner world, definitely more than one at least. and back on the dimensions thing, I'm not clear - are the dragons coming from Thedas dimension? or are they coming to Thedas dimension? "they came through the rift, human in form but with powers, the ability to fly [that's Eldron] and the ability to transform into dragon-like creatures [that's Alexia]" implies that the dimension on the other side of the rift - if the helpers came through the same rift as the invading dragons - is Thedas, because that's Eldron and Alexia from the Dragon Age in-ride movie being referred to, and Noathen where they're from is in Thedas somewhere. so some Thedosians have travelled to another world to save it?? Dragons are escaping out of Thedas? but.. from space? but also - the narration is telling us that Eldron and Alexia and the other Guardians brought with them from where they came from, as a gift, incredible advanced technology that the people of Elvia have never seen before. he then gives the example of "this communication device" which could be read meta-ly as meaning the television screen, and of plans to build a machine made of metal and advanced technology (meaning the ride machine you go sit on, which is a themepark machine irl obviously and in the 'world' of the ride, some kind of flying machine). so like.. are Eldron and Alexia from Future Thedas (think Avatar Aang/Korra, when by Korra's time there's like lots more machinery and a more modern feel), a Thedas which has advanced complex machines like idk, AEROPLANES? is that what they mean by "time-rift"? because they specifically did say "time". is that to try and explain the modern machinery? does that mean the invading dragons also came from the future, not just from space or another dimension? the other option: Eldron and Alexia came from alternate universe Thedas, which has more modern technology in it. but Thedosians Time-Travelling From The Future And Also Space And Another Dimension is so funny to me so lets go with that. my headcanon is that on the way to Elvia they also timetravelled through a Westernthemed time period and thats why theres a recent-modern period whisky barrel)).

in the ride's previous life, the explanatory hook was that Eldron made you a special harness or saddle thing with which to ride a dragon, which was what the ride machine was simulating. however now, the hook to explain the machine is that it's a gift of advanced technology powered by carbon, hydrogen, organic matter (Big Oil lmao?) etc. (I enjoyed that this explanatory hook got wackier between eras of the ride's life, much like the whole meta story of this piece of media itself. it was already weird because riding dragons isn't really part of DA. though I don't understand meta-ly speaking this convoluted explanation for the machine. dragon-riding isn't an identifiable or key part of the Dragon Age franchise, so they could have kept the idea that you're sitting on a dragon's back and flying around on that in instead of having this wacky explanation about a flying machine gifted from magical strangers from Back To The Future and it would have been fine. I love it though bc its so absurd)

And Tiny Dragon Alexia from the original ride experience is kinda referenced (unintentionally?) when the king introduces the dragon "Guardian" "Mia", as when she comes on-screen her size or scaling looks small/kinda off, so maybe Tiny Dragon lives on. so now we have Tiny Dragon Alexia, Tiny Dragon Mia, and Tiny Dragon queue prop. it's a Tiny Dragon Conference.

and like I just have so many questions. in her original video on the ride, Ghil Dirthalen wondered at length where in Ferelden/Thedas Noathen could be. where is Elvia? why does the pov of the pre-ride movie proceed downstairs into the room where the king is - like why does the king have his throne in a basement? is he in an underground bunker for safety because of the Space Dragon invasion? why does he say we "climbed" up when we have just gone down into his dungeon? why is the tiny dragon introduced as "Mia" when the tiny dragon witch lady in the in-ride movie is called "Alexia"? does the king's green glowing chest thing work like the Anchor - does he have a chest Anchor.. a Chanchor? where did they get Discount Gandalf from the queue area and why is he exactly like the Ghil Dirthalen Stock Theatre Wizards in her original video? why did they change the kingdom's name from "Noathen" to "Elvia" in the pre-ride movie when "Noathen" was already non-existent in Dragon Age lore? why did they scrub Dragon Age from or avoid Dragon Age in the pre-ride movie but leave the whole Dragon Age in-ride movie intact? are the "Guardians" Discount Grey Wardens? is the king's whole schpeel secretly an evil plot so he that can use our bodies for like necromancy-alchemy? why does the ride run on your flesh and are we about to be sacrificed in a blood magic ritual? do we end up like the husks in Mass Effect after our organic forms are broken down into compounds to fuel the King of Elvia's flying anti-dragon defense tank? is the actor of the king a park staffer who is into larping, or someone's fun nerd uncle who likes DnD? does Caitie not in fact agree that I am very handsome and smart, indeed the World's Most Interesting Guy? 😤 why go to the trouble of sawing off the dragon's DA-dragon horns when the in-ride movie is still Dragon Age?? why are the dragons invading from space anyway like what do they want??? how can I obtain the king actor guy's autograph? where are EA's lawyers? and why is there a giant spoon?

can we talk about emurui and how they think they’re selfish for having dreams

#emu… she thought she was so selfish for wanting to save the wonder stage… #to protect her grandpas dream and the park he worked so hard to build…. #and rui who thought it was a moral failing to want to be loved so badly #to find a way to let them follow their dreams without ever separating #emu who decided to be selfless and let them all go #but who’s selfishness rubbed off on others and made the ones who gave up on dreaming begin again #the brothers who thought all hope was gone but have chosen to believe in the impossible once again #to be selfish again. #rui who already thinks he’s a monster deep down and follows his selfish wish. who saves his love. #they’re both so selfish and so stubborn and it’s only because of that that their dreams can shine. #good for them.

I'm living purely of the joy of that date but also on the verge of crying over q!Tina wanting to be perfect and her insecurities. I so desperately want Tina to do lore where she finally confronts/remembers some of her past. She needs to at least talk to probably IronMouse about their demon-hood again and why Tina hates it so much.

BBH said that demons can reset themselves to remove illness (such as his radiation poisoning) but it would scramble their memory library. So either Tina reset herself knowing this would happen due to something else or she was just way more willing for the memory wipe to work on her. Which begs the question of whether she still has her memories and they're just scrambled or are they completely gone??

Much like BBH's stream when he returned from purgatory of wondering about in that dream scape place I need one of Tina in her mind palace unlocking her library and pulling a random book of a memory but panicking and not wanting to know more and trying to run or if she's more comfortable about remembering to be better for Bagi she starts to organise it and remember her life.

#teaduo #i literally had this dream last night #i need q!tina lore!!! #shaking cc!tina and qsmp adms #please im desperate for lore #q!tina is such an interesting character #also what is it with the demons on this island falling for humans that they will outlive by millenniums?? #also we know that bbh is from like the dawn of time or something but i want to know how old tina is #do we know how old ironmouse is?? #please i love demon lore #the thing that is holding her back is not knowing about herself so therefore lore time so she can finally call bagi her girlfriend #also the not really knowing herself and if they make it official the expectation that bagi has to support her #when she thinks deep down she is capable of horrendous things and doesnt want to think shes forcing bagi to stay #is so depressing #she wants to be accepted and loved but when someone loves her she feels like its undeserved and that they dont really know her #qsmp bagi #qsmp tina #qsmp teaduo #qsmp

fun fact: merfolk will instinctually reach out while asleep and grab and hold onto anything and anyone they can. the reason why is to prevent them from floating away while asleep - they sleep in groups, and hanging onto each other is a very good assurance that they'll wake up in the same place as each other, as well as helping to assist protect each other, as now you can't hurt one merfolk while they sleep without waking up the rest of their group.

in practice, this means that miranda instinctually cuddles and clings onto aaravi even while deep asleep and very protectively curls around her. she's a giant cuddlebug, what can she say?

#all the care guide says is 'biomass' #miravi.txt #monster prom #you know that one post about #someone coming home to their already asleep wife who then grabs at them and pulls them close? #yeah that's miravi #miranda is one giant weighted blanket and it can be Very Nice to have all of her worries literally pressed out of aaravi #a hug so deep her soul wiggles back down into her body #and miri is just purring and chirruping and flashes her bioluminescence while having a dream

younger Eddie being excited to go to sleep because he unintentionally figured out lucid dreaming so he could plan entire dnd campaigns and feel like he was creating his own fantasy world

Sometimes he’d just go to the shire and hang out with his favourite characters, watching Gandalf’s fireworks, eating with the hobbit and hearing stories from Aragorn and Boromir while being infatuated by Legolas and Gimli’s interactions with each other

#eddie munson #stranger things #sleep was an escape for Eddie #the upside down took that away #he lost the lucid ability and no longer being able to control the monsters of his imagination was potentially the scariest part #of going to sleep #he did his best to avoid sleep through different vices #one day when he’s at family video to return tapes Robin tells him to go to their break room #he looks awful and the deep bruises under his eyes worry her #Steve is taking his break and Eddie goes to sit next to him on the couch #he doesn’t realise how tired he is until he’s waking up with his head on Steve’s shoulder and hearing him hum #love grows where my rosemary goes over Eddie’s head as he flips through a magazine #turns out he’d only been asleep ten minutes but there were no nightmares #he starts to come by to sleep at the shop more regularly when eventually Steve just starts inviting him over #Eddie is uncertain but agrees and most nights he ends up unceremoniously passed out near or on Steve as a movie plays and he and Robin #bicker in low voices and Steve runs a hand over Eddie’s back #slowly the lucid dreams start to come back #and if that means Eddie starts to play out his romancing Steve might go #well let’s just call that tactical research #idkkkkkkk this is silly I’m sorry I get carried away

@beatingheart-bride

"It is," he smiled: Honestly, it still was funny to think that, in the grand scheme of things, he hadn't known Emily all that long. They'd only just recently met, had only gone on a few dates, and yet, it just didn't feel like it. It felt as if he'd known her for much longer, somehow, something he was unafraid to voice in that moment:

"Y'know, it...it's funny. I don't know why, I...I really couldn't tell you, but in a lot of ways...it feels like we've known each other a lot longer than we really have. Like...we've known each forever, somehow.

....that doesn't sound crazy, does it?"

Even if he didn't say so, Randall still couldn't shake the feeling that they had met before, that he had seen her face, had known her in some capacity before the night she walked into the shop. A great part of him wanted to ask about it, honestly: Had they gone to school together when they were very young? Had he seen her on the small screen or a magazine cover somewhere? Had they passed one another on the street before, sharing meaningful glances, maybe a brief conversation, but never really talked seriously until now? He wanted to know, and yet, something always seemed to hold him back from asking.

Hence this gamble: Maybe she did feel the same way. Maybe she had this unshakable feeling of deja vu, this feeling that she knew him too.

At any rate, he hoped he just didn't sound completely nuts putting this question to her...

#((exactly! she feels like they have the right to know; she doesn't want to hide the truth from them)) #((anymore than she wants to hide the truth from randall; but at the same time she fears that rejection)) #((she would understand their fear and rejection; but she still doesn't want it of course!)) #((she may be a vampire; but she's not a monster the way constance is; and she is deserving of love)) #((and even if it'll take a while for her to see that; even if she knows it deep down)) #((and even if it'll take a little while for the paces to see that she means no harm to their son)) #((she'll still get the love she's been craving and been so deserving of in these last few centuries!)) #((and a time skip sounds good! maybe emily's thinking about telling him)) #((and randall's telling her about the weird 'dreams' he's been unknowingly having about his past life?)) #outofhatboxes #beatingheart-bride #V:Dark Shadows

[anothermonikan]

Have I told you guys about the fucked up dreams I've been having recently? I've been having some fucked up dreams lately. yeah <3

#sorry this is mostly about a dream I had yesterday and if I just say it it's gonna sound so creepypasta-y #like I have a lot of creepypasta-y dreams it's just how my dreams have always worked hehe #It wasn't fucked up because it was scary or anything it was fucked up because of how I felt in it #how to describe it...like I was like almost too calm and accepting of my fate #like okay previous dream context (whether this was context from another actual dream or just. lore my brain made up idk) #I got sentenced to execution. It's...really hard to describe the context without it sounding really silly. #like it was a part of some sick game that a person planned out and it all ended in a white maze room #I was told I could either choose to go free from a month and then be collected for execution or be trapped in the room forever but alive #and I chose to be executed. everyone knew. we all even had silly inside jokes about it ehe #like my friends were picking music out for it. it was really silly hehe! #but the person who came to collect me for execution was so striking. she was like. almost literally a doll #A big doll!! Like she was so so tall!! she actually shrank to be more my size as the dream went on. she was strikingly pretty #and kind. she was so kind #we walked around and said goodbye to everyone. she made friendly conversation. she guided me through how everything was going to go #god the tenderness of it all makes me sqee a lil aha. a little fucked up I think #it was self-inflicted you see. Rose bushes over a tall fence. that's why she was so tall. to help me over #I caught on pretty quickly that she was a person who decided to stay in the room instead of being executed #that's what becomes of them. they become subservient to the game master. they're made to collect the ones who chose to leave and die later #she told me that deep down she kinda wished that doing this for him would convince him to make her human again and to let her be free #I told her that it was bullshit and that he'd never do that. and she was like. yeah. but a girl can dream right? #another one of those dreams that have lines that stick out in my head as well...okay one of them was just really funny #'Hey guys' 'I'm being executed today :D' 'oh. okay!' #dhdhdh #'It's scary isn't it?' 'yeah. it is' 'Well. It'll all be over soon' #like gwah. gwahhhh #'There is something wrong inside of you' levels of impact on my psyche I reckon #me and the doll girl kissed a few times. it was weirdly quite natural. nothing intensive #but I think we both had an understanding that we weren't seeing eachother again and we cared about eachother #it was so greatly platonic and nice. yearning for something I will never experience aha ^^; #Idk if I even want to be in any sort of QPR but it was definitely nice in this dream

[twilightarcade]

What is the best/most recent/most interesting (up to you!) Dream youve had that you can somewhat rememeber?

OK SO. my dreams are somewhat all over the board. Either bleeding into reality (this is annoying as hell and really fucks with me sometimes), being mildly off the walls (Things Occurring in rapid succession with no clear reason or logic), or something really silly we're not geting into. Generally this is more of a spectrum however (imagine an xyz plane of borderline reality to clearly never happened, off the walls things happening to basic and understandable narrative, and silly to not silly). Last night's dream for example lands on the slightly silly, would be near reality if not for the batshit plot.

MORE UNDER CUT IDFJFT HOW LOMG IT SHOUDL BE BEFORE I CUT IT BUT I LOOKED AT IT LIKE HM. THATS LONG.

THAT SAID. We aren't talking about lasts night dream sorry babe (BABE REFFERINGTO THE DREAM). I DO however have a few assorted dreams that I've tucked under the "try not to forget because they were of interest" category (they're living in my brain right next to the dreams that I won't forget.) I may or may not have talked about them before, but we have the reoccurring power rangers plot, the dragon under the Italian restaurant dream, THEN THIS ONE DREAM.

power rangers plot. Alright. Basically, I'm generally at my house or my childhood home (feels dramatic to say it like that), and like. Things start occurring. Ranging from me getting evicted to there being fighting outside for no good reason. Regardless of the case, I get contacted by none other than the power rangers. For some reason, I have the morphin crystal whatevers in my possession and I need to go fight whatever evil is occurring directly outside my home (they want to steal the crystals. Obviously.) I, a power ranger, go fight them, nearly die a bunch of times (can't actually die I'm a power ranger. Duh.) And inevitably wake up with no real. Conclusion.

DRAGON DREAM. Had this dream when I was a kid (I forget exact age) and fell absolutely in love like I thought about this dream so much I expanded the world and made more characters and plot lines to fit in and everything. I tried sooo hard to have this dream again just so I could make my dreams (thoughts???) a reality (dream.?) I don't think I ever managed to. Very basic plot summary is: restaurant is advertising dragon slides, huge room with dragon, one real, one clearly fake, dragon advertised as hyper realistic replica, dragon is real and literally eating people. I fell. Absolutely in love with this concept. Thought about it for days on end. There was even this "plot"??? Where people were divided over whether they hated and wanted to kill the dragon or wanted to continue living under the dragon in fear (dragon was orchestrating the whole thing in this plotline and threatened to eat anyone who disagreed) and I don't think that plotline ever actually reached a conclusion.

ANYWAYS DROPPING THAT FOR NOW umm. There's a lot of like. People from my dreams I think about a bit. There was this one particularly fucked up dream I'm not getting into, and there's this one lady I think about a bit. She was a deeply saddened individual to say the least and I wish her the best. There's potato the white lab (maybe?) who I kind of love and would do anything for (he got lost then I found him. Ignoring the rest of the dream. Obama was there.) Who wasn't there for like half the dream and wasn't even my dog. There's the awkward host from dragon dream. Absolute loser. A few days ago we had the lesbians that blocked my way to the drinking fountain because they were making out and i didnt want to bother them (this dream had an absolutely unfollowable plot too.)

ALSO shout out to all those silly dreams that appealed to my fears. Generally those have the most solid plotline which is mildly annoying. Honestly I don't really need their help to be scared thanks I do that to myself enough though. I'm still not sure if the screwdriver thing was from a dream or just a really stupidly active imagination because well! It's certainly active. Just don't know why that in particular really stuck with me.

I think we would be here all day if I ever got to talk about everything I remember in depth </3

#askstag #JUMPING UP AND DOWN HI #I've gotten into the habit of writing down my dreams on rare occasion. Not anything serious just the random stuff #ALSO SPEAKING OF SOMEWHAT REOCCURING DREAMS RECENTLY THERE'S BEEN THIS BEACH. #my cousin is always there. #and im always like. A better version of myself #The me that kept in contact with her and formed a deep connection with her carrying on that “you've known each other since childhood” thing #I'm. Really bad at connecting with people currently #I absolutely despise it and would easily list it as one of the worst traits but I've tried so incredibly hard to be this guy I'm not and it #just. won't work. in theory sure yeah I think it should work but it flies out the window in actual practice because. deep fear. #'uhh yeah btw what if everyone hates you. Wouldn't that be funny. They dont want to talk to you right now and any degree of sincerity will #get you shot. yea lol good luck' like what if you didnt. Go talk to people like a normal person.

tragically i am in love with magus. he might reach main f/o status im afraid.

i dont know why but during the confrontation w queen zeal when he said "fool. no thing, no life, can last forever. you are decieved... a pitiable plight... one deserving of mercy, at least." it just. made the dam burst i started tearing up i dont know why THAT evoked such a strong emotion in me

#he. he wanted to show MERCY? to HER? that just confirms my theory that deep down inside him hes still janus #Nd the ending when marle asks him if hes going to search for schala. and he just wordlessly disappears back into the gate #wtf i want to see schala too i need to know more about her. epilogue part 2 pleasepleaseplease #i know theres stuff in the ds version!!!!! #i just fear i will start actually crying forreal instead of just being emotional bc of hormones #because like the dream devourer stuff #i donthave full context (yet) but i know schala like. gives up on being saved. and magus erases his memory

Morniiiing, well... I did dream about Charlie, but. It was that he was real and marrying someone else so. Sad :(

#well it was kinda weird bc this woman was telling him that he proposed to her. but he didn’t remember doing that #but so many people took her side that he just believed her #and I was trying to tell the lady that like. that’s really manipulative and awful #and she was just like‘it’s not like I’m gonna mistreat him; I love him and he’ll grow to love me’ #and I was just furious you know. bc deep down I knew Charlie and I were supposed to be together #but even then. I wanted him to want me on his own terms. not the way she was doing it #and so I tried to see him a couple times just to check on him #and he was mostly confused but ok with what was happening #he was just like ‘well I mean they say I just forgot that I love her. but can you forget something like that?’ #and I felt so awful for him #I remember touching his back at one point and giving him a smile bc he looked rly confused #and he looked at me like he knew me #and then the lady and her friends showed up and yelled at me :( #sad times man. poor Charlie #ren speaks #renlie #ren’s dream journal

saw this in the previews and thought "his hubris is immense" which is hilarious to me

#keroro #u dont understand this really is the duality of a doormat. oh my god hes perfect #his dreams of domination are big but theyre all rooted in the people who treat him worst Liking Him and being able to control that #whats that? hes a big baby whowants to take over planets for a sense ofcontrol? and he doesntActually want it which is why hes not doing it? #where his real dreams deep down are just people thinking highly of him and being able to indulge in his interest? and friends? #but also hes completely out of his depth AND his hubris is immense so it comes out like this? #attempting to rule over others to be his friends because he's still struggling to right his wrongs #natsumis constantly hitting him and berating him (called him useless 2 eps ago) so Of Course he's like this with her specifically. #with keroro it's really come for the comedy stay for the character exploration huh #ANYWAY I LOVE THE DARKER SIDE OF KERORO I DONT WANNA JUST SEE HIM CUTE OR CRYING OR HURTING I ALSO WNNA SEE THIS! #you gotta be a Little fucked up to want to be in charge n subject urself to that. hes smug. hes selfish. and i love him for it. its a farce #analysis
