#ten ways to befriend your local cosmic horror by hob gadling

[furiosophie]

okay i put this in the reblogs of the "personal nightmare-tester hob gadling" post before but i just thought about it again so

imagine dream after being cut off from ppls dreams for over a century coming back and struggling to figure out what's "trendy" rn, like what do ppl wanna dream about these days? what are they afraid off?

and literally the only person he knows who could reliably tell him that bc he's lived among humans for six centuries and has the context for what the fuck is going on with them is, you guessed it, hob gadling

so dream just shows up at random asking him the wildest questions like "hob gadling what is cbat and why are humans having sex dreams about it" and hob is just standing there like pls it is fucking eight am i didn't even have coffee yet

like hob just graduates from personal nightmare-tester to personal dream-trend researcher, and it's just an endless string of "no dream i will not teach your nightmares how to floss that's not even a thing anymore" and "what do you mean can you confirm if this nightmare Iooks like slenderman pls it's two am" or "no dream i do not know why everyone is horny for that four foot tall zombie woman-- wait hold on why are you getting big oh-- oh yeah okay alright i get it"

#I just think it would be funny #hob rly doing the most here #dreamling #hob gadling #dream of the endless #I just think that their friendship would be so weird #like yeah absolutely dream needs to have a normal stable thing where he just has a safe and loving environment #but also it's dream of the endless #he's not human #heck hob isn't even fully in the human camp anymore if we're honest #their parameters for normal wholesome friendship are probably a bit out of our scope of comprehension #ten ways to befriend your local cosmic horror by hob gadling #the thing that's driving hob slowly into madness about cosmic horror dream is not that he's incomprehensible #it's that he's asking him about current tiktok trends
