I had this boyfriend who was this rich older guy (so…I had a sugar daddy in the dream I guess?) And he had this submarine and we were going to go underwater and explore. Cool right? But we were in the arctic so it was cold. And he took us down kind of fast at a steep angle and in the dream I could feel it. It was also super dark. Like 3 seconds underwater we’re in the depths.
So I’m immediately regretting my decision to go.
And the sub has a light on it and he’s shining it around and like, the entire time I’m terrified of like…a real life jumpscare. Like he’s doing to turn that light around and suddenly a fucking megalodon will be there ready to eat us.
That never happened but the anxiety was killing me.
Then we start seeing critters. And they’re all translucent white. We look down and there’s these massive squids. I don’t know if they were giant squids but they were freaking huge. They were white and floating beneath us about a few feet apart from each other. All told there were at least a dozen. And they were napping. Idk how or if squids sleep but they were napping. In a group together, like a squiddy cuddle pile. Which is kind of cute I guess but it looked creepy af. And my stupid ass looks down at them and goes “Oh look! Sheep!”
Dream Me is a moron apparently. Even Sugar Daddy side-eyed me.
Idk something about it was super creepy but I don’t know why. Like a liminal space manifested inside my brain. It didn’t help that Arthur startled me awake doing his Mufasa bark at someone or something in the wee hours of the morning.

biologist:
Like literally the only reason we didn’t go extinct is because we are aggressively social creatures who community organized and helped each other when faced with disasters that drove other species over the brink.
(Like we’re so aggressively social that we looked at APEX PREDATORS and went ‘they look soft! Friend????’)
(The answer was yes because wolves are also aggressively social and they adopted the strange tall not-wolves just as eagerly.)
humans @ wolves: holy shit these things are so cute i wonder if they’ll let us pet them?

Humans: Collecting grain in any one area causes pests to follow soon after, and we’re not good enough at hunting them to save our grain. There’s no way this agriculture is sustainable!
does anyone ever do the opposite of dissociate?? where youre just suddenly and uncomfortably aware of your situation and reality
more to the point why do i get that feeling when im sitting on top of my kitchen table watching a velveeta mac and cheese pack spin in the microwave for three and a half minutes and im just like I Exist I Am Here And Theres Nothing I Can Do About It
okay this one wins, everyone can stop reblogging this now
occasionally the universe orders one of its many snipers to fire a warning shot at me. not to cause any (physical) harm, mind you. they’re just reminders that the universe hates me and could snuff out my puny little life anytime it wishes.
today that warning shot came in the form of my microwave burrito being completely empty. no filling. just tortilla.
how can you look at this and still believe the world is kind and just
Heyyyy I just got the Pokemon theme song stuck in my head and I don’t go here anymore, it sort of came out of nowhere and I’m not saying I’m psychic or anything but I’ve had some weird experiences lately so just, you know, heads up.
