Ok I love love love hearing about y’all’s paracosms because I think they’re so interesting to hear. If you want to share your paracosms, thoughts, questions, opinions, I’m always here :D

[thestruggleisdaydreaming]

Yeah I may be mentally ill, but I just thought up of three new, fresh daydreams that I can start shaping in my head. Whose the real winner, now?

[thestruggleisdaydreaming]

Would anyone like a tutorial on how to add yourself into photos using FaceApp?

It’s realistic as hell. If you need proof, look at this photo:

I’m the one in the middle.

Reblog if you want a tutorial.

hi

[ID. the "person getting angry" meme (?). the first panel depicts a grey head labelled "me", they say "headcanon that my paras-". the second panel depicts a white character labelled "my friends", they say "why are you headcannoning your own daydreams? lol". the third panel depicts the head labelled "me", not saying anything. the fourth panel depicts the same head, now with angry eyebrows added. end ID.]

Heyyy, I hope you (and your paras) are doin good today!

Thank you! We are :D one of my para brothers, Pony, and one of our friends and I are real excited to leave school and go home 😭😭😭 most of the others are at work (except Two-Bit, the fuck-)

Hi Liam!

Hi! :D

[thestruggleisdaydreaming]

Sorry this is so late lol…

Things to feel close to your paracosm:

This fake text message website lets you make fake text messages so you can pretend you and your para can text!

Make multiple snap chats with their name and bitmoji and send messages from them to yourself so it feels like you’re talking to them. If you don’t want to do this, you can…

… assign contacts on your phone as the names of your para’s, if the fake messaging and fake snaps don’t do it for you. Try to get the people closest to your para’s personalities.

This TikTok filter makes it look like you’re taking a photo with a para. You can screenshot the photo if you press “Select Cover”, tap the screen to remove the preview, and scroll to where you want, and then screenshot :)

Adding on to this, print out the photo and put it in a picture frame!

My Guide to Cuddling with a Para

Write letters to your para! Or have little notes for them. Place the notes on your desk or places in your house (ex. the fridge) so it’s like your leaving it for them to find!

Make a music playlist with music your para would like and pretend you’re listening to it with them! If you don’t like the same music, you can pretend its their turn to play music because you already had your turn.

(Kinda derives from my cuddle post) take a sweater you think your para would wear, spray cologne or perfume or whatever on your sweater that you think they’d smell like, and wear it! It feels like you’ve stolen their clothes and that’s always amazing AJDJSJDJ-

Lastly, leave things your para has around the house! If your para smokes (and you’re of age), get a pack of cigarettes and leave it on the table! This works with most items, but only do it if it’s legal, because having like… swords and stuff might not be very legal depending on where you live.

At this point my definition of “going to bed” is just lying down and stopping myself from sleeping because I wanna daydream.

[thestruggleisdaydreaming]

I see posts about people being like “I treat my para’s like shit LOL” and over here like???? how??? They give you joy and love and you go “haha fuck you”?

My favourite para is seven years older than I am and my brother and I’m scared to even give him OCD and y’all are torturing yours and shit

To be clear, I’m not parashaming, I’m just in shock

[paraesthetics]

I was raised in a household of toxic positivity. I was raised to believe I wasn’t allowed to feel any other feeling other than peace, happiness, love and joy because those are the Good Things The Lord Gave us. Negative feelings like anger, sorrow, and hatred were from the Devil. If us children ever expressed any kind of negative emotions, our mother would pull us off to the side, have a private conversation with us and tell us that we weren’t acting like ourselves, that we have been isolating from the family (and the family is God’s unit- to stray from the family is to start from God Himself.) We we lips be punished, and told to reflect and repent and pray and “make our hearts right with God”.

I grew up in an abusive household. I grew up not knowing I was queer, not knowing I was schizo. Not knowing I was abused.

Eventually I learned, in the process of setting myself free and those truths were a double edged sword. I went out into the word fully believing I had left the hatred and pain behind me. I told myself that shit was going to stay buried in my past with my father. And then I learned the world hates me, hates peoples like me. It hates queer folk. Trans folk. Folk who are schizo, folk with personality disorders, folk who don’t act right.

My whole life I was told I have to act a certain way, behave a certain way or I was letting Satan in my life. As an adult, I have to be “One Of The Good Ones™️” in order to be treated with basic human fucking decency. I’m not allowed to have negative emotions. As a child it was considered satanic, as an adult I’m considered a ticking time bomb, one bad day away from being a mass murderer.

Fiction is where I go to cope. My daydreams are where I let all my anger and frustration and sorrow and grief and rage out. It’s my emotional catharsis. Because at the end of the day, regardless whatever emotional attachment I assign them in my head or my heart, they’re just tools- little playthings I create to enter Ian myself in my head. Yes they mean the world to me but I can do whatever I want with them because they’re mine to do with as I please. It’s not like I’m hurting actual real life people, just parts of my own brain they reside in.

Thank you for telling me. Reading this absolutely cleared this up for me, I appreciate you taking the time to educate me. I hope you have a lovely day

I just got broken up with (on Friday) and my MaDD has been going off even more ever since. I fucking hate this.

[thestruggleisdaydreaming]

Specific para: Why do you cling to me? Why did you choose me to daydream all those lovey situations about? What makes me special.

Me: …

Me: I just want to feel like I’m someone’s favourite for once.

[thestruggleisdaydreaming]

No, no, don’t come in here, this is my daydream sphere.

Seriously, don’t come in, I’m daydreaming and if you talk to me I’ll lose track of where I am.
