A Twilight-related dream I had last night (I have never read Twilight) that makes me highkey want to do a full-ass Twilight Rewrite
Every time I see people talking about how they get writing inspiration from their dreams I always want to know what kind of dreams you guys have because my dreams are always weird af. Like, in my last dream that I remember vividly I had this tiny stuffed animal and Kim Jong-Un wanted to me to make one for him and I spent the entire dream hiding from him because I was too scared to tell him I didn't know how. Like, that's a story I could write I guess (tangentially related but I have one character who was based on a dream, but somehow the dream version of him is more normal lmao).
Anyways, I came here to say that I'm thinking about how I read so many bad books this year that I finally caved and got a library card because I refuse to spend another penny on a 2 star read. This was such a good idea why did I not do it sooner?
I've had three stories inspired by dreams (this one and two Fae-related ones) but most of my dreams are either 1) things I can't remember or 2) weird and bizarre and wtf is happening?
Also I would read the Kim Jong-Un stuffed animal story sfdfgds
currently thinking about the revival of eddsworld and how happy i am about it
Thinking about how I have a "type" when it comes to the fictional characters I adopt.
It's always the stronk baby mountain boyos.
Can I have an example I'm so confused
Cole from Ninjago and Kirishima from MHA
I would die for them
Oh shit me too 😭
Not so much Kirishima (though he's cool af), but Cole ninjago was my boy
Thinking about the Barrow Gang. Again. Why am I like this.
thinkin about the song castaways by the backyardigans
thinking about moxxie from helluva boss
he ,,,, possum
Patrick Warburton
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight
Squeakum uhhh squeaky squeak
Thinking about how yesterday, when my 10 year old conservative cousin came over, I said something and he said "did you say Darwin? As in the idiot who came up with that thing?"
Well, 1) I didn't even say something remotely close to "Darwin"
2) excuse you sir
and 3) poor brainwashed child
And so I, being the problem causer I am, asked "What do you mean by idiot?"
And he answered "well- It's just not where we came from. I mean monkeys?? That's stupid!"
And that's where the debater in me really kicked in
And that is the origin story of how I made my cousin cry by questioning his lord and savior
Hahahah oh my god
Like honey, if science is going to make you question your faith, maybe your faith isn't strong enough
Like I'm aware this is a child, but also science and religion can totally coexist
Also thinking about how I convinced my sister that Poland wasn't a country last night a 3 AM
poland isn't a country fuck poland all my homies hate poland
Thinking about the weird-ass customers I had the other day when working.
The first lady and I were talking after the manager used the PA system to direct her to my register and I made the joke of "God, is that you?" She then looked me straight in the eyes and said "Hate to break it to you, kid, but God's not real." Theological debate aside, how much of a Gloomy Gary Glumfuck do you have to be to actively shit on my joke, man? She then turned around and tried to convince the old couple behind her to not buy a My Pillow because of the whole Mike Lindell Capital Riot thing. Even though it's true, leave them alone! They have nothing to do with this interaction, jeez!
Then there was another woman who seemed so confused. She was buying two beach chairs and was trying to talk herself into getting them, and it was a long and drawn-out process until she dipped into MONEY SHE WAS SAVING AS A GIFT FOR HER NEPHEW'S GRADUATION to pay for them. She was supposed to be somewhere else buying a mattress, apparently??? She asked when we closed in case she wanted to return them, and thankfully I was long gone before I could see if that was the case.
Retail's fuckin weird, man.
^ Now I'm thinking of a tweet I saw earlier that was something along the lines of "Who decided that the customer is always right? I've never met a group of people who were more wrong."
I've had so many customers get mad at me for not separating their orders or not giving them a box, even though they didn't even ask for one in the first place? You have to ask for that. If you don't ask, then that's on you, Karen.
I even had one couple get mad at me because they wanted a box, which they didn't bother to tell me until I'd packed 2/3rds of their really large order back into the cart. I tried to just set one aside so that they could pack it in the car but "then we'll have to do it ourselves :(" Oh no. Poor babies. Imagine the struggle of having to pack your own groceries.
I ended up unpacking the entire cart because the one guy was getting super rude and I didn't want to things to escalate, but I was pissed for the rest of the day oh my god. Like it was super busy but yeah I guess I'll just hold up the line at my till because you guys are too lazy to pack your own groceries.
The guy was literally like "BuT iSn'T iT YoUr JoB tO pAcK?" and like yeah it is, but my job is a lot easier when people just tell me what they want. I dont have special *+:｡.｡cashier instincts｡.｡:+* that let me just know what the customer wants.
Anyways, sorry for going off. Some customers are so entitled it's honestly wild, I hate it so much.
Throwback to the time me and my friend–both 14 years old at the time–were working and some guy was clearly having a bad date with his gf. All we were doing was bussing tables (y'know…our job) and he started swearing at her and threw his recipe at me :)
Thinking about how I still don't know if the people who previously lived in our house are gay or just friends
I lived in the same neighborhood before we moved into their house and I've known them for literally my whole life
