⭑･ﾟﾟ･:༅｡.｡༅:ﾟ::✼✿ Welcome 2 the dream ✿✼:ﾟ:༅｡.｡༅:*･ﾟﾟ･⭑
Sup, The name's Ash, welcome to my daydreaming blog. The place where I like to go on and on and on about people and places that don't exist! Most of my daydreams consists of dorks hanging out and sometimes having a mental crisis, (lol).
Along with some melodrama, I like throwing in some romance too! Teases, stolen glances, some loving bickering here and there, confessions blurted out during a passion rant, nothing too spicy, tbh.
Other than posting about my own daydreams and paras, I reblog other post by fellow daydreamers. I might post a notion template or some artisty template or two to help with visualizing daydreams better, too.
Since the start of this blog I've grown more confident in sharing some of my writings so you'll prolly see of that on here too. On here and my writing blog I post my writing in snippets but my Typepad writing blog is I post full writings and archive writings in general.
Thinkin' about posting here more, I got a new paracosm that's tf2 based, the curent arch is that BLU scout has joined the RED team because he got real sick and tired of being sick and tired on the BLU team. Scout's daughter, Emi (whose a fankid oc I made up) found him in the woods near the Red base after he got injured running away from the BLU base (BLU Heavy likes to place random bear traps around the BLU base just for his own sick enjoyment of others pain).
To summarize the arch using trope terms, this arc is based around the trope I like to call "Don't Feed The Monster" which is the trope where a dangerous being is found in a state where they're not at their full power level (usually due to an injury), and they start a friendship with a younger, innocence being that either doesn't know of their dangerous past or believes that the dangerous being can change through small acts of kindness, one of those acts usually being the younger being giving the older dangerous being a slice of cake. This trope's name comes from the painting by Dead Sound "Don't Feed The Monster" the painting that inspired his animated short film called, "No Monsters"

(which if you haven't seen you should DEF watch, infact I suggest you should watch Dead Sound's whole channel because he has GOD-level worldbuilding skills)

This is a guide both for those in the Daydreaming Community, or want to learn more about it. It is meant to be an archive of all things relating to MaDD & ID, and is curated/run/owned by yours truly!
💭 Can I link this on my blog/post/etc?
Yes!! The whole reason this doc was made was so that it can be passed around as a general resource, so you are more than welcome to link it anywhere you want. The same goes for anything linked within the doc itself -- not that I own any of it anyway lol.
💭 Can we give suggestions?
Suggestions are highly encouraged & appreciated! I am only one person running this doc, after all, and will not be able to uncover/document everything without some help. You can send me stuff through DMs or my ask box.
💭 What happened to the original doc?
I wish I knew! It was brought to my attention that it had gotten flaged for review for...some reason. I've tried figuring out how to request a review for it, but it won't work. So I've resorted to just making a new doc. Sucks, but that's all I can do right now.
Because this is a whole new doc, I'm going to be tagging some people so the word gets spread a little bit. Sorry!
So, it's called Story Plotter on android and you can make a load of characters as well as their whole backstories and also plot and very handy diagramms where you show the characters relations to each other.
This is what part of mine looks like, its very easy to navigate and you have infinite options for everything!

I don't care what you do with this, editing the final image is fine and even encouraged

Okay, I got the worlds page up, the links work but I haven't found images for all the paracosms, but the links work and there are descriptions for the worlds, and that's all that matters...yeet!
