don't you know the moon is a lesbian and loves all sapphic women?

---

Well, damn, the "tragic lesbian who dies" storyline is way too overplayed, I guess we shouldn't destroy the moon

A bizarre dream; it came across as a narrative, I usually was watching or maybe even reading about it, but sometimes I was experiencing it from the perspective of the protagonist... but always it was clear that this was a work of fiction, which I knew well and was a fan of. (what it's name was was unclear, but the name of the franchise seemed to be Magnolia) This led to me understanding things not from the ongoing plot but just because I knew it.

So our protagonist is of college age, apparently male, living in a hotel his family owns in some small distant suburb of San Francisco. (His mother has disappeared, but his father remarried) Over time, some strange things happens that he doesn't really notice as they creep up on him; his appetite goes completely out of control, eating huge amounts of food without gaining weight, never seeming to get tired, appearance becoming androgynous, etc. He didn't notice these things but people around did.

Anyways, eventually things start happening around the town. Earthquakes become more common-- they're in California so this isn't hugely out of the ordinary, but they're not behaving like normal earthquakes, and it's limited to this town. Wild animals start avoiding the area, trees start growing in distorted ways, buildings begin to crack even when there aren't earthquakes. What I know is that this is because the protagonist is gaining powers and doesn't even realize it. But eventually, he does.

The military gets involved. They've triangulated the odd occurrences and traced them to the one hotel, but since it's a hotel, they think it's a guest there. Our hero, meanwhile, starts to realize what's happening: his mother was from the royal family of another world, who fled to try to avoid the life of a royal. So he's actually a princess of this other world, and his powers are because he's losing his humanity. None of these concern him (this dream is happening in my subconscious, and I don't care about losing your gender or losing your humanity), what concerns him is that other people are being harmed, and also becoming a test subject of the military.

So eventually his friend reveals that the military is quietly putting the town under quarantine, all vehicles are being turned away at the borders. After the protagonist had the revelation above the strange events harming the town have stopped, but the military was able to figure out that someone in the town was developing powers and wanted them for themselves. (They might be aware of the other world)

Our protagonist decides to flee now, since right now they're only turning away cars and trucks, not pedestrians. He starts running, running through the large string of forested very New England-looking suburbs (this is California, Nicole! Keep the plot going) without getting tired for many hours, until eventually reaching San Francisco (which looks a lot like New York City in the winter in this dream). By sheer chance he runs into a woman who I instinctively know is the villain of the story, a superrich billionaire media mogul who is secretly working with the military because she wants to use the powers of the other world to rule this one. But the protagonist doesn't know any of this, and tells her a lot of things (she just seems to him to be curious about what's going on in the town), enough that she realizes he's hiding something.

The military decides to forcibly evacuate and quarantine everyone from the town at another hotel roughly midway between it and San Francisco; they're outright telling people that the townspeople are dangerous, something is going on, don't interact with them. Our hero fears the worst and has to sneak into the hotel (which isn't hard, since the people there know him and it's kind of chaotic), only to find that they're actually being treated very well, they're having a Pokemon cosplay competition and our hero makes a sexy MissingNo costume (it is beyond my capabilities to explain what this means, you'll have to take my word for it).

However, our hero is quickly noticed by the military because he (she at this point maybe?) can't control her appetite, so now she has to escape the military base and try to hide out in the abandoned town. At this point I start to wake up and am disappointed, but then I realize that since this is just a media franchise I can just look it up online. Then I realize it was all a dream and I'm fully awake.

It would really be nice if my apartment had level floors :/

not sure what you mean by 'level floors'

my apartment is on the 3rd floor; it's nice to be above the streets like that

---

I'm also on the third floor, coincidentally...

By "level" I mean that the floors aren't flat :/ and if I put a ball at one point, it'll roll around

Game Freak realized it would be cool as hell if in the distant future where Braille screen technology is better if you could feel the whole screen

I thought the moon was masculine and the sun was feminine?

---

The spirit science guy tells me that the sun is male, the earth is female, and the moon is non-binary.

That depends.

Do you like YouTube based horror series?

---

I'm not really into the horror genre in general, I don't like having my emotions played with

Favorite subgenre of fantasy?

---

Alternate history.

Is that a fantasy subgenre? I think it counts as one? At least the super-broad definition of fantasy that also includes sci-fi...

Isn't Lizzo's "Juice" video very 80s inspired?

Oh wow, that is very 80's, I love it

How do you take your coffee?

I've been trying to get my cartoons to go viral ever since I migrated from MySpace to Facebook. At times I feel like I'm getting cock blocked on social media. I'm literally stuck, at least I pop up in Google though...

---

Facebook is literally a pay to play site, it's really dirty-- you pretty much have to buy advertising to be successful, which means only people who are already successful can afford it... makes more money for Zuckerberg though

Has anyone here actually ever worked at Limited Too?

I have not, yet I think I speak for everyone who has when I say:

Would you like to try alcohol flavored ice cream?

---

Maybe in a milkshake form?

Posted by Robbie Rage

---

If you were going to invent a new ice cream flavor, what would it be?

---

Hmm... does root beer flavored ice cream exist? With some of that powder that fizzes on your tongue mixed in

Yeah I get reminded constantly about paying $10 to boost a post on my cartoon page, I did it a few times in the past but it never got me very far. I was disappointed when I never went viral on there, or Twitter, or Instagram...

---

Paying to boost a post usually just shows it to everyone who liked your page, rather than a subset... yes, you'd think Facebook would just show your posts to everyone who liked your page, but that doesn't give them $$$

why do you think you deserve the title of goddess of the apocalypse if you couldn't even destroy the moon

---

It's not that I can't destroy the moon, it's that I choose not to! Gods.

Ever had a fluffy cat break something of yours?

Billie? No, she doesn't break things. Except for my heart by being so cute

proofcall. destroy at least one minor planet or satellite or i'm going to start questioning your goddesshood

(not our moon, though, i'm quite attached to our moon, which by the way is named LUNA)

---

Okay, fine, I destroyed a moon of the third planet around Sirius.

What, you don't want to wait 8.6 years to confirm? Fine, fine, I retroactively detonated a blasted rock orbiting Betelgeuse 700 years ago, which means that if my calculations are right, right about... now we should start to see abnormal dimming of Betelgeuse.

My calculations were a little off, eh close enough.

Would you ever own a pet amphibian or reptile?

---

My brother had a pet frog when I was growing up. She was never all that interesting...

If I was going to own any reptile probably a snake? Everyone I know who has a snake loves it... but maybe that's just a function of the sort of people who own snakes.

and why isn't that almost worse tbh

---

So, what you're saying is, I am the worst, and therefore warrant the title Goddess of the Apocalypse. Glad we're agreed.
