After mastering lucid dreaming you find you have complete control over other people’s dreams too. You can choose what they dream of down to the tiniest detail and even join them without them realizing you’re actually real. Their subconscious is your playground. Hope they were nice to you.

As you stepped out onto your front porch, huffing at how bright the early morning sun was, you paused. Sitting on your front step was a large parcel, addressed to you. You couldn’t help but wonder if perhaps you had a new mailman, as the usual one refused to make the difficult trip up your drive to deliver anything, instead leaving it at the entrance to your driveway, in the drop box. Not that you blamed him. It was funny that you hadn’t heard the truck though.

Letting out a thoughtful hum, you set down your mug and fished around in your hoodie pockets, pulling out a knife and starting to cut it open, while trying to figure out what it was you had ordered. You couldn’t remember ordering anything lately, and no one ever sent you things. Maybe you had just forgotten?

A childish cheer escaped you as you managed to undo the box, opening it up and poking around. All joy faded swiftly as you saw what was inside, anxiety and confusion taking its place. You knew exactly what those jewels were, how couldn’t you? They were all over the news. Everyone was freaking out about the impossible theft.

Shakily you looked at the top of the box again, shivering as you saw that it really was addressed to you. Why you?

Non-Boring Environments that need Fantasy Representation

Tropical Rainforests

Scrubland/Dry Forests. For extra effect make them the sort that burn very often; some native plants never germinate until after a fire, and some animals not only rely on fire to smoke out prey, but may even start them themselves.

Savannas/Tropical Grasslands

Temperate Rainforests. I almost didn’t include this bc New Zealand is covered in them, and that’s where they filmed Lord of the Rings. But tbh, no one really knows about them, so it belongs here

Taiga Forests

Barren Tundra, perfect for some extreme seasonal dichotomy

Polar Ice Sheets

Desert-Grasslands (arguably the same as Scrubland but Australia’s good at adding its own twists)

Barren Desert

If you like Cacti, look at American Deserts like the Sonoran

Salt Flats

Soda Lakes and Alkaline Lakes

Madagascar’s Karst Limestone Formations

Madagascar’s Spiny Forests

Madagascar’s Baobab Forests

Madagascar’s Subhumid Forests (Madagascar is cool as hell ok)

Danxia Landforms

Badlands/Mountainous Deserts

Steppes and Highland Prairies

Flood Basalts

Newly-Formed Islands, still rife with Volcanic activity

Now for Underwater Environments, sure Coral Reefs are cool.

But there are SO MANY other kinds of environments for aquatic settings, it’s unbelievable:

Seaside Cliffs

Archipelagos. Not just Tropical Island chains like Polynesia (Moana anyone?) but also Coldwater Archipelagos like the Aleutians.

Tidal Flats

Bayous/Cypress Swamps

Tropical River Basins, AKA Seasonally Flooded Rainforests

Mangrove Swamps/Deltas/Beaches

Kelp Forests

The Open Ocean

Coastal Seabeds

Rocky Beaches with Tidepools

And there are a LOT more I could name but this post is already obscenely long as is, if you’d like to toss in your own go right ahead, but my point is if you limit yourself to European Deciduous Forests you’re a wimp.

ARTIST PATTON!

Hear me out, we know he’s not that experienced at drawing figural stuff yet but what if he’s actually pretty great with abstract art? Mixing colors, applying them in unique and interesting ways, creating all sorts of shapes, and using different matierals; expressing his emotions through them. Just. Artist Patton.

I had a dream last night I was in a high-rise in Chicago and any time I went to a different floor I was still on that floor but in a different year. I could only travel through time into years when the building existed, so I could go back in time about 70 years, but there were enough floors that it was taking me forever to find 2018 again. I eventually ran into some girls who recognized me as a time traveler and they told me there was a man in the building that knew about all of this and could probably direct me to the right floor but I needed to find him at a specific age so I kept running into him on different floors and different years and trying to figure out if he knew what to DO yet

Person A is sitting in the bus when suddenly a child sits down right next to them

The child immediately begins to ask thousands of questions, which A of course politely (maybe a bit annoyed tho) answers

At some point the kid says:

“You know you look exactly like that one celebrity/character”

“Is this a good or a bad thing ?”…

“Oh a good thing! my (single ) parent loves and wants to marry them one day!!”

Suddenly someone screams the kids name and rushes to them asking if everything fine, not really looking at A until the kid reassures everything is alright.

When B finally stands up again and looks at A they, freeze in shock,

A says smirking “ your kid is great. But I heard you want to marry someone like me ?”

(You can decide if they’re the actual celebrity or just a look a like )
