thinking about the place we saw in our dreams last night
small primarily bookstore in a corner of a mall, generally slightly gothic aesthetic with dark wood colors to everything. bunch of queer nerds hanging around. at least one girlthing walking around with a leash on, pure joy shining from their body language. an excited conversation from a group near the front/middle of the store, showing off cool art and stuff they'd seen/made/gotten recently (can't quite remember if said group were primarily furries or bronies, vague dream details). despite the somewhat muted lights and dark coloration, it felt like a genuinely comfortable place to be. (also helped that they had a nice large corner wall dedicated to selling cool music, including a lot of less mainstream stuff (one thing we noticed was a kaonashi cd))

it was a good place

🌶️ *takes deep breath*

mildly body horror monster tf dream let's gooooo!!! ::3

(also feauturing other fun moments like "abridged lotr-style grand fantasy adventure that involved a volcano going active thanks to antagonist intervention two thirds in", "teleportation is a cool power", "how to sneak a bionicle dream into a random goth rock concert at the nerd store", "... what if we made a power/prog metal epic album about bionicle?", and "what if knockoff team skull was led by knockoff elesh norn?" (which included taking a bite or two out of knockoff elesh norn, and that started the aforementioned tf). it was a fun night of dreaming c:: )
