tw: dreams
Last night I dreamt that I suddenly discovered that I liked Lady Gaga and Kanye West when I went to their concerts for free. (I actually do like Lady Gaga, though.) The concerts were super-empty and yet I still had to sit way in the back, but I was all about it anyway.
I went to a second Kanye concert, which I had to pay for and which was even more dead than the first one (with something like twenty people where there was seating for 1000+). It was so low-tech it would make non-dream!Kanye weep, but I was there cheering my ass off. Then, SUDDENLY, the lights went out, and when they came back on Kanye was gone. We all sat around for a few minutes, thinking it must be some kind of performance piece there, but he didn't come back, so we all went up to the stage (there was no security, and apparently no musicians or... anything except Kanye at all). We quickly found a back hallway that lead to this small yard, where there was a big part of a brick wall busted out with a cavern inside. We crossed a rope bridge and there we found Kanye, surrounded by tall people in loinclothes and stuff. They said they needed to sacrifice him to preserve their space between worlds. Which worlds? Earth and the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, of course!
And all of those people present at the concert, myself included, were people who existed on both worlds. We were all benders, even! I think I was a waterbender. Anyway, Kanye only existed on Earth, but he HAD existed in the other world, as a firebender, and for some reason that was why they needed to sacrifice him, specifically. One of the concertgoers suggested they take one of us instead, because, since we were each cross-dimensional twins, at least one version of us would keep on living, but the between-worlds people insisted that it really, really had to be Kanye.
Kanye woke up briefly and said he was okay with it, and he didn't want the between-worlds people to suffer just so he could live. He then left me all his pets in his not-actually-physically-existent will, because he didn't trust Kim to care about them. I wound up with a horse, a litter each of puppies and kittens, two giant rabbits, and a terrible fucking spider that laid thousands of eggs that I had to care for at least until they hatched.
Mostly I'm just amused that Kanye was a selfless firebender (and yet there were zero pyrotechnics at the concert).
