but what if you were rich?
6/5/10 06:26 amSo my dream was basically, "What if The Monocled Mutineer was a time-hopping romance novel?"
It was horrible.
It was horrible.
two dreams,
5/30/10 10:30 amIn the first dream, a whole bunch of supervillians were descending upon the National Museum of the American Indian because the Blue Beetle (except he was Native American and his main power was mixing SCIENCE with Native American lore, which I thought was pretty cool) had put a very powerful horn in there for safe keeping (it was like part bear and part whale, because then it could stalk you on land and on sea? idk).
And the Flash heard about it and was all, WELL THEN WE'LL CALL AAAAALL THE SUPERHEROES UP, AND KICK THEIR ASSES because the NMoAI is huuuuge. And it was also Batman's birthday, so they handed out cheap Batman costumes for all the other superheroes to wear as to confuse the hell out of the super villains/annoy the hell out of Bats. And Superman was giving PSAs on the speaker system to not use the elevators, because you shouldn't use an elevator in a building about to be attacked by Lex Luthor & Co.
And someone passed out Robin costumes too, and Ashere put one on (because he was there?) and Dick Grayson was all 'You're doing it wroooong'. (And Ashere was all 'We can't all dye our hair for youuuuu.')
And in the second dream, it was like the Carolingian era or something except a little bit steampunk, and and there were two kids, Caroline and Joseph. And Caroline was a bit headstrong and Joseph was a bit of a derp derp (which I am finding is my favorite dynamic between siblings) and they had an eeeevil tutor named Rothco (yeah I know idk) and he was terribly mean.
And Joseph had just gotten sick or died or whatever, and Caroline was sad because Joseph was her only friend, and then she overheard Rothco talking about how he'd fooled Caroline into taking a truth serum (because he was tutoring them in, among other things, magic) and Caroline was all !!! indignant, and rushed to tell her father who is an earl or some shit, and of course Rothco gets their first and is all, your daughter has flown into a fit and is saying untrue things about me, and then Caroline walked in and then I woke up.
And before then, when Caroline and Joseph had first met Rothco, Caroline was pretending to be a blind nun (because in their world, a famous nun was blind? idk) and Rothco was all, well if you're blind, you won't know which burning hot rod iron to touch, and Joseph was all, seriously you're kind of fucked up.

happy new years.
4/26/10 06:45 amI was in the kitchen with my father or someone who looked like my father but we weren't related, I'm not really sure, and it was minutes to midnight on new years. It was some kind of PWP (Parents Without Partners, the group I basically grew up in, not Porn Without Plot) I was given three options, I could get high in the rec room with the kids (my mind quickly flashed to Dave and his kids, who I have not thought of in years), I could get drunk with the adults, or I could stay in the kitchen with the guy who had suddenly morphed into Dave's oldest kid, Steve.
I told Steve I didn't drink, and I didn't get high. I said I had a reason for not staying in the kitchen, either, but I'd forgotten it. He said he wouldn't take it personally. We both turned to watch the clock in silence.

(no subject)
4/25/10 11:38 amso in my dream it was some kind of asoaif ripoff. There were the European folks and the Turkish folks, though, instead of EnglandX and WalesX, but yeah. Orison was the prince of the Turkish folks, and he'd fallen in love with Catrinna, who was the princess of the European folks, but there was a peasant uprising and all his family wealth had been decimated and Catrinna's mother was like lol no you're poor. But he brought all his remaining wealth together and it was still an okay sum of money so they could and did get married.
...Orison looked like William Bush, Catrinna was basically Archie Kennedy in a dress.

drawing dream.
4/21/10 10:07 amI don't remember much anything, besides the part where I got seriously chewed out for not properly balancing my darks and lights in monochromatic drawings and sketches. Which, upon thinking back on it now, I am actually pretty okay at, I just tend to make poor choices insofar as how to signify dark spaces (crosshatching is not always the most efficient way of blocking darks out, especially when you're using a pilot rolling ball pen instead of, like, an actual art pen).
So actually I think that was what the dream meant; I often think about light/dark balance right before I think about how I shouldn't've crosshatched that, so the two might've merged in my mind.
Or something.

"we're with the muffia."
4/16/10 09:13 amI was at Katie's house, except it wasn't Katie, it just had Katie in it; it was Janine's house, so it also had my sister, and a bunch of tacky kitschy stuff all over it. And dogs. And hipster kids who were my sister's friends.
I found Janice's room and told her the muffia was here to get her. (Even my dreams think I'm a lesbian? hahaha.) Her mother, who was right behind me, asked my what that was, and I told her I couldn't tell her, and she rolled her eyes.

paul bettany kills himself.
4/7/10 07:44 amIn my dream, there was like an order of monks that killed people. They lived in the mountains and killed people. In a very special and specific way, but they still did kill people.
And then their counter organization tried to keep them from killing people, but when they couldn't do that (which was pretty common, even though the killing-people-organization would all buy come up to the saving-people-organization's door and tell them who they were going to kill), they'd bring the killed people back to life and put them in a hospital in the mountains.
The killing-people organization was an order of monks, but the saving-people organization was an organization of scholars, and both of them were in the mountains. The monks always killed people via a combination of shooting them point-blank and hanging them and also occasionally unmarked graves were used.
Paul Bettany played the main character, who had just been marked to be killed, and the killer (who also was played by Paul Bettany, except his hair was bright orange, where about-to-be-killed-guy's hair was bright blond) specifically says he'll kill him by shooting him point blank, Moriarty-style long-range through a window.
Paul Bettany spends the night hiding under his kitchen table to avoid this, and is thus shot basically everywhere except his forehead. And then finally he is shot in the forehead. But because of the special training the scholars receive, he doesn't die immediately, he just... staggers to the bathroom and waits for the killer to find him. And when the killer does, he points to his forehead and smiles, and then the both of them stagger outside.
He begs the killer not to bury him in an unmarked grave, and the killer agrees, so he just hangs him, and I got to watch being hanged from the perspective of the hang-ee through Paul Bettany's eyes, that was fun. Later the scholar people find him and bring him back to life.
(And that is how you become a superhero.)
Later, Paul Bettany's killer is killed by his own organization in a cover-up, and the scholar people bring him in to resurrect him, and Paul Bettany finds him and they have this weird... friendship, almost, it's hard to explain. They would have an interesting dynamic for, like, a buddy cop show or something, idk.
