Happy New Year! Because I'm retarded, for my first post of the year I will tell you all about a dream I had a couple nights ago.
I dream almost every night, but it is almost NEVER relevant to current events. I am pretty sure this dream was just the second one to involve DM in any form (and you can barely count the first one as it was more like a Gru cameo in an unrelated dreamstory).
Now, as some of you may know, since DM is not a Pixar or Dreamworks film, it is heavily lacking in the merchandising department, especially things aimed towards older fans such as soundtracks containing the score and artbooks. It's nearly impossible to find character designs or concept art except for that which shows up briefly in the behind-the-scenes videos, which makes it exceedingly difficult to figure out exactly how the hell Gru's body is put together.
So my subconscious, being the cocktease it is, had my dreamself discover an artbook in a bookstore that strongly resembled Used Book Superstore but was a normal bookstore. It was big, and thick, and the cover was black with white lineart of some Minions. I can't recall the title, it was something along the lines of the Secret Despicable Files. It was softcover. I decided to flip through it, and while most things I read in dreams are unintelligible or otherwise blocked from view, it was pretty clear what I was looking at.
GIANT COCKS EVERYWHERE. I flipped quickly past some pages that were apparently the character designers goofing around and being pervs, so there were all sorts of shots of Gru with a giant cock. Like a friggin' third leg. WHY HELLO THERE LIBIDO, HOW YOU DOIN'. I can remember there was one drawing of him just casually standing there with it hanging out, and the girls are standing around staring, and another where he's hugging an erection to his chest. I closed the book, wondered if retailers knew the contents of it, and brought it to the cashier.
As I was handing it to him to scan, I noticed the Tokyopop logo printed in the corner of the front cover. I talked with the cashier about how I'd been waiting forever for a DM artbook, and how odd it was that TP of all companies would be the one to publish it. I intentionally avoided mentioning the hyper dicks. He handed it back to me and said "I hope you enjoy it!" I was like, wait, don't I have to pay for this? And he was like, oh, I guess you were supposed to, but I forgot to ask, so I guess you get it for free. So I took it, awkwardly, and walked out feeling really uncomfortable, like I was on candid camera or something and was going to get called out for being a perv. There was more to the dream, but I don't remember it as clearly and it didn't have anything to do with DM anyway...
NOW TO GET SOME GODDAMN SLEEP.
