#but me and the townspeople started creating a gummy stockpile for an emergency energy supply because we knew when we started to rebel

[befuddled-calico-whump]

had a dream about a mid-apocalyptic dystopian town, forced under a strict regime by a need to survive. People who bent or broke the rules, even accidentally, were imprisoned, straight-up beaten on the spot by guards, or publicly tortured depending on the offense.

Now this is a Very Whumpy Setting, but the most memorable part of the dream was me trying to stop a guard from beating a man who was obviously having bones broken, and when I yelled for her to stop, she glared at me and went,

"are you trying to stand in the way of the law?"

and I didn't have a good reply so I was just like, "no, I just think you're hot"

And she got all flustered and the guy she was attacking got away lol

#to be fair she WAS hot but acab #irrelevant to this anecdote but worth a tag essay: the guards/police all wore full stormtrooper armor for some reason #and as a budding rebel leader i started raising this as a 'cmon they're clearly just living a power fantasy where did they even get those' #there were some zombies but the actual apocalypse was unclear? maybe a giant freak storm that destroyed a lot #there was an excessive amount of candy especially gummies and i think the little town had been beside a gummy facotory or something #but me and the townspeople started creating a gummy stockpile for an emergency energy supply because we knew when we started to rebel #food supplies would be cut off by the guards #and they wouldn't notice the gummies missing while we planned so they'd at least buy us time to get the upper hand #we figured out they had a very limited supply of ammunition so the big plan was to destroy all the bullets and then go hand to hand #dream log
