I dreamed a dream in fandoms gone by

[dephigravity]

So cherie_morte wendy and a few others were pining over the good old days of LiveJournal fandom. Those days when our Flists were so overfilled with posts that is was truly an accomplishment to actually be able catch up. We all kind of miss that interaction and sense of community fandom had before AO3 and tumblr scattered us to the wind. So we all made a pact to post more often, and in that spirit I present to you the reason why I am glad I don't dream often.



So I had a dream last night and really not sure what to make of it.

It started with my friend Jared. No, not Padalecki-- I only wish-- Jared is a friend from highschool and now lives halfway across the state, works full time for the National Guard, and is engaged to a guy old enough to be his father. ANYWHO...

So Jared calls me up out of the blue and asks me to meet him at his ex's, who in the dream was a forty something blonde woman with Farrah Fawcett (this I blame on transfixeddream having me watch Hedwig and the Angry Inch) hair, house. When we arrive he begins smashing the house up, breaking windows, etc all in order to steal a Wii Game that she bought for his birthday.

We and our now grown up former high school clique gathered at his house to play the game which I think was one of those karaoke things, until there is a megaphone blasting outside telling us to surrender. Here the dream devolves into the Governor prison rampage scene from The Walking Dead but with less beheadings and zombies, but more gore and flying limbs. Somehow we win, but it is nationally known that Jared and I are responsible for the theft of the game and vandalism and we end up on the run.

I don't remember much through this point but that Jared and I are walking through a wheat field when we finally decide to turn ourselves in. Conveniently, a state trooper is pulling over some runaway kids hitchhiking on the highway up ahead. Without a word, we slide into the backseat and he drives us and the kids to the station where he is hailed as a national hero.

And this is where I devolve into a blubbering anxiety riddled mess as the realization that I will be going to prison forever. And the thing that made me the most blubbery? The fact that I wouldn't be able to see my puppy, Parker, grow up! Cuz, priorities!

Somehow the lady doesn't end up pressing charges, but only IF we are willing to fix her house. Jared has to work around the house as a nude carpenter and plumber while I am forced to wear neon orange vinyl short shorts and body paint. I end up having to draw and paint Disney's Jungle Book murals on all of her walls until every room is done. There was one room entirely devoted to an elephant puppy pile. :|

At this point is where Parker woke me up with his early morning I need to pee licking up my nostrils. THANK GOD.

So what's going on with you all? :)

For real, I dreamt last night that Jared had a secret history as a porn star, and I was directing him in a movie and decided to watch all the old footage of his porn to get a feel for who he was as an actor.

So glad to see some beloved veterans posting today... we young'uns need you as guides through this wilderness called fandom.

:)

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Jared as a porn start is always acceptable!

lol I don't know that I'm a veteran, but I'll gladly be a guide! Makes me feel all Steve Irwin, braving the fandom wilderness in search of rare and magnificent fanworks!

Holy shit, where do I fucking sign up to get your brain? Jesus.

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

I believe they discontinued my model. :P

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

NOT YOU, NICK. I DON'T WANT YOUR BRAIN. YOUR BRAIN IS SOME CRAZY SHIT. I WANT RABBIT'S BRAIN WITH THE JARED PORN.

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

I 100% agree with your priorities. It's nice that you puppy wakes you up to go potty.

I'm always glad as well tat I almost never remember my dreams...I was amused by yours though, so thanks for sharing!

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

He is TOO good at waking me for it. The longer I snooze, the deeper his tongue winds up my in my sinus cavity! D:

My dreams, they be fucked up!

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

I think I got high just reading this.

The good news is your puppies will be fine without you while you are in prison, I will gladly accept them into my heart and keep them forever.

Okay, but I was legit giggling at my desk when you were wearing the orange shorts and body paint. What is your brain?

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

I had to hurry and type it up before it disappeared into the recess of my mind, because WHAT THE HOLY EFFING WHAT?

I feel secure knowing you would gladly steal take in my puppies. <3

MY BRAIN IS SOMETHING, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT, BUT IT IS SOMETHING!

[enablelove.livejournal.com]

....WOW. I don't remember my dreams much!

Dude, how IS Trav!? I haven't heard from him in a while and miss hiim :(

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

I don't remember mine much... AND FOR GOOD REASON! :P

He's good, he's mostly just working and doing some item artwork for some game sites. Just doesn't actively fandom much at all anymore.

[enablelove.livejournal.com]

Aww, okay well tell him I said hi if you get a chance to talk to him please

I'm so sorry you were traumatized by the dream, but I'm cracking up over this part. :) Yay, puppy, for waking you up.
