30 day challenge answers, day 07 + day 08

I have a bit of an odd question--does anyone have any recurring stress dreams? Any themes that usually pop up? I get the teeth falling out thing and it always kind of freaks me out a little. I also think this is a sucky coping method, brain. So, I'm already dealing with a lot of stress and you think it's a good idea to give me dreams that ( Read more... )

I seem to like commenting on your journal lately. |D anyway I always have a stress dream of high school. Probably b/c im studying to teach high school but I always dream im still a student and that I didn't finish my homework. |D idk what that means. & falling teeth dreams are pretty common aren't they? Not to undermine your stress/dream but it is a dream a lot of ppl have. |D

also loved fighting crimson helm omg. And do you mind if I ask where you found the ship meme? Ot seems interesting and I kinda wanna try it. |D

But I love your comments! Especially since you've played Okami! I shall latch myself onto you! :D!

I think the teeth dream is a pretty common one when you're stressed, yeah. I used to have dreams that took place in school, but never the cliche ones of showing up naked for class or whatever, which you think I would, since I can be pretty paranoid. XD But I am very curious what kind of dreams people have when they're stressed!

I think I liked fighting the Crimson Helm because a perfectly timed wind brush stroke was so useful omg. And I found the challenge on Heck Yeah Tumblr Challenges! I'm thinking I should have maybe done it separately since it kind of requires a bit more thought than the others, since I have so many ships I like. XD

Same here! :) you're one out of the two ppl I know that play okami. I tried to make another friend of mine play but she got motion sick from the screen. O.o I dont know. So yay! |D

Thanks! Ill get started on the meme...if i ever finish my loli one. |D orz

Motion sickness from Okami, really? I get motion sickness really easily and Okami was never a game that gave me too much trouble! (Well, outside of running around the Dragon Palace where there were some tight corners and the camera would whip around on me.) Does she get motion sickness pretty easily then?

I definitely think you should do it! I'd love to see your answers! :D

Man Seishirou/Subaru. That is really the most fucked up thing I have ever shipped, there is just no universe where those two could be healthy. Idk how CLAMP makes me still ship it, they're magic or something.

beckerbell September 28 2011, 05:04:21 UTC

It would be totally weird if they were healthy! I can't even imagine it, because it wouldn't be them anymore! And I really do think that CLAMP is made up of a bunch of witches, to make us ship them so hard, to be as abusive as they are, and yet we still keep coming back for more. :|

themadpoker September 28 2011, 05:59:13 UTC

I can't really imagine it either. S_S Like the closest thing possible is early Tokyo Bablyon where everything is still twisted but Subaru doesn't know that yet so they looked relatively healthy from the outside. Or as healthy as a relationship between a sixteen year old and twenty five year old can look anyways. (Seishirou you are totally violating the half your age + 7 rule!)

I think maybe it's because CLAMP totally knows they're wrong and abusive and glory in it? I find as a rule I'm on board with dysfunctional relationships if the narrative acknowledges they're dysfunctional. It's like how all the incest vibes in Sarah Monette's Labyrinth series don't bother me because she owns it but reading a similar relationship in Jaida Jones' Havemercy made me uncomfortable because there was way too much romantic subtext between the brothers and no one was saying anything. :/ Stories with no self-awareness make me really twitchy.

Stories with no self-awareness make me really twitchy.I find this to be really, really true for me, too. It's a lot easier to just say, "It's not my thing." if the narrative acknowledges that the relationship is dysfunctional and that it's purposely written that way. That's the story they want to tell, it's not like they're saying the behavior is okay. Which is a lot of the trouble I have with stories that are deep into their genre, like BL or shoujo or shounen. (Though, it can get tricky when we're getting into doujinshi or fanworks, because sometimes I just want my fucked up dynamics that are lolarious or to bypass the fucked up for something fluffy--but those aren't source materials ( ... )
