    I think somewhere around the middle of high school the storyline started to really fall apart and now in it I’m at various times a successful and likeable actor/astronaut/musician/academic/author/just a salt of the earth everyday guy that everyone somehow has respect for and comes to for advice/race car driver/activist/underground resistance fighter. And I’m also magnanimous and generous, but somehow also dishing it out to the all the wankers I have to deal with.

    I think after the exhaustion of adulthood and fuckwits and my own mediocrity the quality and vividness of my daydreams has dulled to just a kind of cartoon version of me having a much better time or telling someone who’s done me wrong to fuck themselves.

    The first thing I thought of was “What Remains of Edith Finch”

    spoiler: part of the game story

    The chapter with the guy in the fishery, when he makes himself a king in his own world

    The second thing I thought was this must be a great way to plan for the next DnD session as a DM

    This has a name:

    Maladaptive Daydreaming

    Your post triggered really bad feelings in me (not your fault) since my last ex got into a really bad episode and just kinda… Forgot about me. That was fun :D
