Sorry im prob too late u might have forgotten by now, but that ghost dream sound hella rad and i wish to subscribe to your newsletter. In fact now i want some kinda way to record dreams, mine or others, i would pay good money to watch your dreams

You’re not late! I was thinking about it during work and desperately trying to draw the entity called “Kajillionaire Trickster Papa”

So my dream last night had a lot of Ghost. I think first was an animated music video. It was 2D and very, like, Decter’s Lab or My Life As A Teenage Robot influenced as far as character design and background colours. I don’t remember the “story” it was telling except the first three Papas were there and it looked like they were on a camping trip? but still in their papal regalia? and they kept trying to off one another in comical ways, much like Wednesday and Pugsly Addams. One Papa pushing another into the campfire and then getting impaled with a stick-with-a-marshmallow-on-it by the other Papa (the stick shoved in the Papa’s back and bursting through his chest with a cartoony beating heart also impaled on it), then the on-fire Papa casually putting himself out and shaking off the ashes as the impaled Papa pulls his heart and the marshmallow off the stick still impaling him and makes a s’more. The Papa who stabbed the other Papa gets picked up and chewed on by a bear. Utter silliness.

After watching the video we, the viewers, were treated to an exclusive “in the studio” video featuring Tobias. I don’t know much about recording studios but the one in my dream seemed too big and too well-lit… Anyway. First was footage of Tobias singing in the booth. It was multiple recording sessions edited to run together fluidly so he was singing one coherent verse even as his clothes changed in the shot. Then there was footage of Tobias excitedly playing drums at an enormous drum set. This scene was being talked over by Tobias, mostly about how the Ghost project made him less shy and he hopes he’s imparting some self-confidence on the fans, blah blah blah… In the footage being talked over, after he played the drums he must have said something really good because the camera turned slightly to show the staff(?), masked, applauding. The camera lingered a bit on a tall woman all in black with a black mask and tightly curled golden hair…

At the end of the recording footage was a very short animated clip of Papa Nihil wandering around Hell (again, a very dexter’s lab/MLAATR style with Hermonyous Bosch vibes). He tried to drink from a black river full of white ghosts only to be dismayed that it tasted like cold coffee. Then it cut to him trying to get a group of small demons to play stone-and-fire instruments he had assembled from Hell’s landscape. The little demon drummer was the only one who really got it. The weird creature called “Kajillionaire Trickster Papa,” which looked like a pink-skinned, black-horned Papa III with red irises/black sclera and clawed hands and feet, wearing a lavender suit, appeared on a tree made of stone to antagonise Nihil. Trickster Papa called himself “the embodiment of your greed and your ego, here to always remind you of your many shortcomings.” He then called Nihil a shitty dad and disappeared.

The last shot was Papa Nihil being picked up by a huuuge Night on Bald Mountain-y demon who said “NIHIL, YOU WERE ALWAYS A PAIN IN THE GREAT OLD ONE’S A-“ and it abruptly cut off.

I Might Be Pragneat Chapter 3

Even more Johnkat.

ao3

“Sorry I’m late Rose.” John says, walking into Rose and Kanaya’s apartment.

“It’s okay. Are you ready to start?” Rose asks, coming around the corner. John nods and the two head to Rose's office. John sits on the cliche therapists chair, Rose sat on a chair next to him.

“So John, have you been having the same dreams as usual?” Rose asks. John nods.

“As I said, it’s not the same dream repeated, it’s different dreams, but they are all similar. Before I got here, I had a dream with Karkat in it. He started to yell at me. When he realized something was up he asked if I was from a different time line. He then asked me a bunch of questions that I don’t remember right now and then I woke up. Also this version of him had white eyes.” John said. Rose nodded slowly.

“Rose, am I going crazy?” John asks, looking at Rose.

“No, but you are having some weird dreams. I have found no explanation. Maybe, your dreams are real?” Rose proposes. John gives her a look.

“Really Rose?” John asks, Rose shrugs.

“It’s just a thought.” Rose says. She then puts down her pen, “Anyway, if that is all, I do have a deadline to make.” John nodded, getting up. The two then head out of the room.

“Dad?” Casey said, looking up from her book.

“Hey Casey.” Karkat looked away from his movie. He looked over John, finally noticing how much paler he looks then about a week ago. He noticed the bags under his eyes. But he also saw how John’s sleeves hung rather tight to his biceps and how he seemed to always be smiling. How when he smiled it lit up the whole room.

‘That was really gay.’ Karkat thought to himself, groaning.

“Something wrong?” John asked, sitting down next to Karkat.

“Nothing,” Karkat said, pouting as he watched the couple on the screen break up again. John shrugged, watching the movie making random snarky comments.

At the end of the movie, John stood up, “Well, I need to get going. Work and everything.” John said.

“You have work today?” Rose asked, looking up from her laptop where she was writing. John nodded.

“Yep, every Saturday and Wednesday.” John said, Karkat raised an eyebrow.

“How do you make enough money when you only work 2 days? What are you, a billionaire?” Karkat asked.

“One, I’m a comedian. 2, My dad handed me down the house when he died, which is fully payed off and 3, I got a shit ton of money from my Nanna.” John shrugged.

“As I said, I’ll get going. You guys should come if you can.” John said, winking. Karkat felt his face heat up. John then walked out the door.

--------------------

John swore he was seeing Karkat everywhere. When he was shopping, Karkat just happened to be there too, when John was at work, Karkat would happen to come with Rose or Kanaya to watch with Casey. He was even in John's dreams.

“Ah, John?” Karkat yelled in one of John's dreams. John turned to face him and … this was not the Karkat he knew at all. This Karkat had gray skin and what looked like horns shaped like candy corn. This Karkat had orange eyes with black irises.

“I’ve been looking every fucking where for you. These dream bubbles are fucking confusing.” Karkat said, groaning. John raised an eyebrow, “Dream bubbles?” Karkat then got a look like he’d figured it out. “You’re not my John.” Karkat said, beginning to walk away.

“Wait!” John yelled after him, “What do you mean by dream bubbles?” Karkat then started to explain.

--------------------

“So that’s why I’ve been seeing versions of my friends in my dreams.” John said, Karkat nodded, “So how come I’ve been in these Dream Bubbles but my friends aren’t.

“Well, it could be that they just haven’t told you or that you, in my timeline, you stuck your hand in some house thing and then you started teleporting around. That could have had an effect on everything.” Karkat wondered, John shrugged. Then, before either could say anything more, John woke up.

John groaned getting up, “That was interesting.” He said out loud. John shrugged, looking at the clock. He groaned, then getting ready to pick up Casey.

“Hey Kanaya!” John said, Kanaya opening the door.

“Hello John, I hope you don’t mind that Karkat's over.” John nodded and headed into the living room where he knew Casey would be. Today she was sitting at the coffee table with Karkat and the two were drawing while Con Air was playing. John was so proud.

“Hey Casey.” John said, sitting on the couch behind his daughter. Casey waved at him, not looking up from her drawing. When John glanced at Karkat's drawing. His drawing was hyper realistic picture of some guy he didn’t recognize.

“Yours is really good Karkat.” John said. Karkat rolled his eyes.

“It’s just homework. Stupid teacher wants me to do a hyper realistic picture of some guy I have no idea about.” Karkat grumbled. John then noticed the picture sitting next to him.

“Still good.” John said, Karkat continued to grumble.

“Not my normal style at all.” Karkat said, frowning. John shrugged and payed attention to the movie

By the end of the movie, John was wiping away tears as Rose told them food was ready.

“Hey Dad?” Casey asked in the middle of dinner.

“Yeah?” John asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Was I named after Casey from Con Air?” Casey asked. Karkat rolled his eyes, definitely not expecting the answer that came.

“Yeah, of course. It’s my favorite movie.” John said. Karkat looked at him n surprise.

“I still regret letting you pick that. But it does fit you Casey.” Rose says, shrugging.

“It was better than what you would have wanted.” John said, looking at Rose.

“I would have come up with an amazing name, thank you very much.” Rose said, crossing her arms. John rolled her eyes.

“Sure Rose, sure.” John says, “ I bet the name would have been so normal.” Karkat looked between the two. He then looked towards Kanaya who just shrugged, ignoring the two and just continued eating.
