  • Do you ever just realize that everyone is in space right now? Like, sure, there’s an atmosphere, but other than that you’re basically out there. The air around you is sky. The vacuum around you is universe. When you take a closer look, there are universes within universes, whole worlds of microbes, like the ones on the very surface of the keyboard I type this on - on the larger scale, ecosystems of stars, being born, evolving and dying - like in a cosmic “firework show”. But they don’t tend to affect each other, I think. They’re so far away…

    And then, there’s us. We’re so small yet so big. Does that make us special or just mediocre? To an ant we are giants, to a star we don’t exist. Why does consciousness as we know it only exist in the middle of sizes? Maybe because it’s “as we know it”, and of course we only really know what things are like at our scale? Maybe sapience is subtle, and it can only be detected when you spend every moment dealing with it. Perhaps atoms are kind of conscious, and brains are the shape they make such that their consciousness field constructively interferes. Idk





    1. Switching consciousness with a creature from my dream and realizing I won’t exist when the dream is over (because I thought I was the weid red rectangle creature). Creepiest one by far, and I was in front of my neighbor’s house in the dream.

    2. Bumping into miniature Jupiter in an infinite space train, then getting haunted by black and white demon faces - which caused me to wake up very scared.

    3. Partially lucid dream where I flew on a carpet to Japan and then language-learning books started falling from the sky, and I ran to grab as many as I could. Also, it wasn’t actually Japan, it was just weird grid-like suburbs with no houses, just concrete and small patches of grass. I don’t remember what happened after grabbing a bunch of books.





  • I don’t have one favorite villain in particular, but…

    The Good Place spoilers

    Michael is the villain for part of the series, and oh boy is he devilish. I mean, in season 2 (i think) he is literally the devil as far as the main cast is concerned. “I can’t believe you figured it out!” perfect delivery. Just wow.

    oh, and also Megamind. Megamind is my favorite. I need to rewatch that movie, and completely ignore the “sequel”.




  • Players must agree beforehand whether you can counter +4s with +2s, and if they’re restricted to the color that the +4 user picked or not.

    If you can’t play a card, you buy only one card and if you can’t play it, you skip that turn.

    If you have multiple cards of the same number (even if different colors) you can play them all at once (but it must be at once, if you didn’t realize you had a stack of similar cards that’s your loss)

    You cannot stack sequential number cards (that means no playing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… at once even if they’re the same colors)
