Dream Logic Be What?

[xp_dazzler]

Okay. So.

You know how dream logic always makes perfect sense while you're dreaming? Even though it's patently ridiculous on its face once you're not anymore? I have a great example ^_^;;

So I had a dream in which I needed to list off all the possible side effects that I knew of all the meds I was taking, and for my birth control the list was basically:
- High Bloodpressure
- Low energy
- Insomnia
- General Iritability
- Improved reflexes
- Improved eyesight
- Improved hearing
- Claws
- Silver allergy
- Excess growth of hair all ovver
- Howling at the full moon

I have *no* idea what happened to my brain last night O.o

I'd take the first 4 for and the fuzzy for a week to get the rest, I think.

[xp_dazzler]

I mean.

...you're not wrong.

[xp_darcy]

A week of being a were-something can't possibly be worse than actual period cramps. Ooh, imagine if you became a honey badger, that'd be metal as fuck.

[xp_dazzler]

Especially because I think werewolves traditionally are only 3 days long XD

If we're picking animals for were-ing, can I be like... a panther? Or a leopard?

Oooh! ooh! Smilodon! Weresmilodon!

[xp_darcy]

Probably have to stick to animals that are not extinct, but I could see you as a leopard. Or maybe an ocelot?

[xp_dazzler]

<3 That feels arbitrary and I reject it <3

[xp_darcy]

But what if smilodons look nothing like the pictures humans have created?

[xp_dazzler]

This is a less arbitrary restriction.

HMMMMMMMMMMM

...this is a hard choice now.

[xp_darcy]

Consider: anything currently living OR that went extinct AFTER photography became available. That'll let you go back to at least the 1850s.

[xp_dazzler]

IDK. I feel like we do have a pretty solid grasp on what smilodons looked like, though? Like I know reconstruction like this is usually *terrible*, but... it's a big cat with fangs. Do we really think we've got that wrong?



...also I have no idea what is as cool as a smilodon from the 1850s.

[xp_darcy]

That's what a wiki deep-dive is for, friend. But you are likely correct that we have enough construction to have at least gotten the general shape correct.

Laurel K Hamilton has entered the chat.

[xp_lusized]

That's True Blood, right? That show was gross.

[xp_cypher]

Oof, I'd heard a little bit about that. Reading more...yikes.

No, True Blood is based off of Charlaine Harris' books.

If I had a nickel for every author with sexy werepanthers in their material... /doofenshmirtz

[xp_dazzler]

Somehow I actually know nothing about the books or the TV series? Beyond vampires, I mean?

Were there weresmilodons in the tv show?

[xp_darcy]

Excuse you, Nightseer was decent.

[xp_lusized]

Were-thylacine! I want a pouch I could keep so much stuff in there.

[xp_darcy]

Your own personal bag of holding! I like the cut of your jib, newbie.

[xp_banshee]

So your medications all turned you into a werewolf?

[xp_wildchild]

I mean minus the silver allergy and the first 3, it turned her into me

[xp_banshee]

You're not wrong.

[xp_dazzler]

It's official: I blame you for this acidtrip of a dream.
