hi you can call me hattie, and i'm a maladaptive daydreamer! i'm 22 and i use any pronouns!
the content im gonna try to curate on my blog is mostly focused on paracosms without paraselves. i personally do not appear in any of my paracosms, nor does any version of me. i'm simply not there! my daydreams revolve around the fact, even, haha.
i'm hoping to find other daydreamers like me, who don't have paraselves! but anyone is welcome to follow me <3 i'm new to the community and don't have any friends yet i can talk about this stuff with!
i'm not gonna be online all the time since i have a busy life but i hope we can become friends anyways!
it's not that I need a quiet day or a day off exactly; it's that I need a pocket of time that exists entirely outside of linear time as we know it that would allow me to get things done without time passing in the real world, and frankly, I don't think that's too much to ask.

Does anyone ever daydream about a fandom but you warp the characters so far from canon that they’re basically your own and you have so many aus you barely remember what happened in the canon material anymore and anytime you are talking with anyone about that fandom and say you love x character and they say “oh my gosh, me too!”, but you’re painfully and uncomfortably aware that you don’t love the same character because you have your own version that no one else will ever see or get
YOU REBLOGGED THE MADD ASK GAME SO IM HERE RAAAHHHH
1 and 2 (・ε・)
YAYYY HIII
ohh these are such good ones uhmmm let me think!!!
how long have you been daydreaming for? (bonus if you can remember: what was your first daydream scenario/paracosm?)
i was always pretty lonely as a kid, i think i've been daydreaming as long as i can remember. if i had to guess i'd say my oldest paracosm was probably pokemon related? i feel like i have vague memories of a pokemon paraself that was... half pokemon half human... 💀 and then the second oldest one i can remember is for SURE creepypasta mansion LOL. that one i remember very clearly. my paraself was 6ft tall... (i ended up only getting to 5'0 😭)
if your paracosm had a popular fandom, what do you think it'd be like?
THIS IS A TOUGH ONE... my current paracosm takes place in a big, highkey evil academy for the most part, most of the adults are terrible people, and the students are all pitted against one another.
i imagine that a fandom would probably have some crazy discourse about the character dynamics, problematic favs, and wild misinterpretation of core character traits LOL. just like most big fandoms.
i'd hope they'd at least spend an equal amount of time making up freak headcanons about the female cast, but i know in my heart of hearts that people would not only focus way too hard on the male staff, but also mischaracterize my main para as a gay boy when they're actually a lesbian 😭 like let them toxic yuri in peace
(however there is an equal amount of toxic yuri And toxic yaoi going on in my brain 🙏 peace and love)
send in a number (or multiple) and if you feel like it, an accompanying paracosm/para!
(apologies for how wordy these are. i am not a man known for my brevity)
reblog and have fun with these! (and if you reblog this or send me an ask, i'll send you one too)
how long have you been daydreaming for? (bonus if you can remember: what was your first daydream scenario/paracosm?)
if your paracosm had a popular fandom, what do you think it'd be like?
do you have any paracosms that aren't huge, but that you fall back on when The Time Is Right™️?
WOULD YOU RATHER: have your daydreams projected onto a screen attached to your head at all times OR be entirely unable to daydream ever again for the rest of your life?
what para of yours is most like you? self inserts and paraselves don't count!
how did you come up with your paras' names? did they come to you randomly or did you spend hours researching name websites?
imagine your paras have at least a basic knowledge of driving (or even just like, cars). can they parallel park? (bonus points if you explain it like in this post)
do you do extensive worldbuilding for your paracosms? if you do, what are some of your favorite elements?
if your paras found out you were their creator, how would they react?
if you have a self insert/paraself, how similar are they to you?
is there any time of the day where you can't/don't daydream?
are your daydreams linear and structured, or do you jump all over the place?
what's a song you've been daydreaming to lately, and what's your favorite moment in said daydream?
do your paras age with you, or are their ages static? does it feel weird to be older than a para you were previously the same age as?
if you had the opportunity to leave this world and live in your paracosm forever, would you? why or why not?
(if you have multiple) which paracosm of yours is most grounded in reality? which is most fantastical?
make one of those "[blank] spoilers without context" memes for your paracosms. then explain it (or don't :))
who is your second favorite para, and why aren't they your favorite?
what would your paras' typing styles be like? do they use lots of emojis? sign off each text like a letter? type with lots of weird spaces and ellipses?
do you move a lot when daydreaming, and if so, in what ways?
have you ever wanted to make a piece of media of your paracosm (comic, animation, visual novel, novel, tv show, etc.)? what are elements that would be apart of it?
when you actively want to start daydreaming, what is your mind's process? do you tune back in like it's a tv show? flip through imaginary files? let it come naturally?
do you ever daydream about yourself (not a self insert, just you)?
do you have any two paras that are polar opposites to one another? (they don't even have to exist in the same universe, just in general)
what para would you absolutely hate in real life?
FREEBIE! drop some long-winded lore or some memes or whatever you want ^▽^
when you experience a daydream block or crash, what are things you do to try and fix it? (or ways you cope. lmao i get it)
for fictparacosms, do your daydreams affect how you perceive the media and/or the fandom?
if you ever write down things about your daydreams (truly anything at all — notes, dialogues, descriptions, etc), share a random snippet with no context.
if your paras had madd/daydreamed immersively, what would they daydream about?
for any pairings (romantic, platonic, familial, whatever), what is the dynamic between your paras like?
if you could make a bingo of common elements of your daydreams (paracosm-specific or not), what would be on some of the squares?
if you have tried to make your paras in character makers (picrew, meiker, etc), what is an aspect of your para that these makers never/rarely have?
are your daydreams clear in your mind's eye?
if you have multiple paracosms, what would it be like if they had a crossover?
being too upset to daydream properly is so shitty. what do you MEAN my coping mechanism isn't working this is the exact situation it is meant to be used. take me AWAYYYYYY
