Thanks y'all <3

Oh I see. Well I can certainly relate. (I've long given up on ever becoming a serious writer because everything I write ultimately devolves into directionless stories about rat/raccoon/possum/cat adventurers that an orphan who lives in a dumpster behind Whataburger might conjure up)

Anyway uhhhh no dreams to report on today. The other day I dreamed about a teenage boy trapping me in this weird brutalist style townhouse (when I'm mayor, everyone I dislike is gonna have to live in brutalist labyrinths filled with wasps) with 8 floors and trying to murder me though.

Omg I just noticed the tags for this thread, how nice!

Especially when it's Animorphs+Buffy crossover fanfiction from 2001 on some ancient Angelfire website.


MicShazam, they're out there, (the bestiaries-- illuminated manuscripts, too) you just have to search. There's more and more PDFs floating around online nowadays. I've seen lots of digitized manuscripts available online lately, too. Though I often just visit this site when I'm looking for a specific ridiculous creature.

This my current favorite bestiary: https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebo/A1...-Linnean+works
It's filled with whimsical gibberish, I love it. And LOTS of questionable information about bees.
The title alone is amazing: "The historie of serpents. Or, The second booke of liuing creatures wherein is contained their diuine, naturall, and morall descriptions, with their liuely figures, names, conditions, kindes and natures of all venemous beasts: with their seuerall poysons and antidotes; their deepe hatred to mankind, and the wonderfull worke of God in their creation, and destruction. Necessary and profitable to all sorts of men: collected out of diuine scriptures, fathers, phylosophers, physitians, and poets: amplified with sundry accidentall histories, hierogliphicks, epigrams, emblems, and ænigmaticall obseruations."

No images though unfortunately :c

There's some good stuff for me to mess around with here. Especially the Medieval Bestiary : Beast Index link seems like something that could provide hours of fun and inspiration.

I love this bit about dolphins: "Dolphins are the swiftest creature in the sea. They can fly over ships that attack them. They follow the sound of human voices, and gather together in crowds to sing at the sound of music. When dolphins play and leap in strong waves they seem to forecast storms. There is a kind of dolphin in the Nile that has a serrated back, which kills crocodiles by cutting into the soft parts of the belly."

Omg, take my money

Fell asleep unexpectedly and dreamed that I woke in my bed during an early morning thunderstorm. I walked into the living room; there was an ancient episode of All My Children (or something else involving Susan Lucci crying) quietly playing on TV. I then heard a bunch of racket coming from inside of the chimney a few feet away. It continued for a good while, so I eventually grabbed the mop from the garage and began poking it up into the chimney until whatever was in there fell out. And then out fell Billy Joel. He was out of breath and kept talking about needing to atone for his sins. I scolded him for "hiding in the chimney AGAIN" (so I suppose this was a regular occurrence) and told him that he could live in the attic if the house spirits permitted it. Anyway I hate my brain! The end

Noooo they're indulgent garbage (though if they ever become more coherent then I'll let you know)

Indulgent garbage is the best garbage.
